What Makes Things Grow.

According to Maurice Springer, u
French writer on the subject. the ell
eryy of growth is closely related to
electric energy and may be identical
with it. At any rate. growth energy is
closely connected with the phenomenon
called osinosis-tlat is. molecular pres
sure due to differences Of density in
adjacent liquid masses. Such molecu-
lar pressure in the cells of tue body lie
believes to be the phenomenon that VII,
derlies the multiplication of these cells
in growth and osnlosis has been shown
by experiment to be closely connected
with electricity. The writer referry d
to believes that we shall soon he allie
to measure growth energy as we H."
do heat or electricity and perhaps CHI
troll it so as to produce tall or sl:Grt

BOOKS AND READING.

Reading is to the mind what exercise
is to the body.-AddisOn.
A home without books is like room
without windows.-Beecher.
To read without rejecting is like eat
ing without digesting.-Burke.
Books are the best things we'll used :;
abused. among the worst.-Emerson.
Next to acquiring good friends t.
best acquaintance is that of good
books.-Cotton.
Some books are to be tasted, others
to be swallowed and some few to be
chewed and digested.-Bacon.
Half the gossip of society would per-
ish if the books that are truly worth
reading were but read.-Dawson.
What is a great love of books? 1t is
something like personal iE1rJductio:,
to the great and good men of all past
times.-John Bright.
The three practical rules l have to
offer are: a. Never read any book that
is not year old; (2) never read any
but famed books; g. never read any
but what you like.-Emerson.

The wonders Of the needle were In
ancient times In Egypt India, Baby
lonia and Phenicia mainly lavished
by women on wells and hangings for
temples. Connoisseurs consider the veil
decorating the tomb Of Mohammed at
Medina, priced at 100000 rupees,
the most marvellous piece of embroid-
Dry ever made. Its pattern, cunning
Aterlacing of scrolls and arabesques,
exclusively delineated with rare pearls
and precious stones, produces, when
exposed to the rays Of the sun, stu
pendous effect Of coloring, soft and har-
monious and equal to the bold graceful
ness of the design. Linen, silks, leath.

beautifed with the little Insignificant
tool, the needle.
Diaphanous Indian muslin charming
ly embroidered with green beetle wings
Is still renowned, as we'll as examples
Of painted spangles and artificial pearls

But where is now to be found the in
comparable Decca muslin, thirty yards
of which were once inclosed for tur-
ban in an ordinary cocoanut incrusted
with gems and presented by a Persian
ambassador to his master, the shah.
Other varieties known as invisible

mated from the fact that when dipped
in water or spread out on the grass the
material was lost to the eye through
its extreme fineness.
The trained fingers have disappeared,
and through modern competition GUS
toners are no longer willing to pay the
real value of genuine hard work. This
superiority Of eastern craftsmen over
their western fellows was recognized
centuries ago, first by Portuguese, who
were in the habit of sending satin to
India to be embroidered by the natives
after European designs, fashion
which at times renders somewhat puz-
zling the classification of the marvels

in satin, velvet. plush or corded silk,
so exquisitely adorned with delicate
sprays and admirable borders wrought

to the skill and industry of the Chi

devices with floss silk in such lovely

California ADVANTAGES.

1t is serious matter to "tear up" and
find new home, but fresh start means
fortune often. Why should one settle in
California? What are the advantages?
Climate: 1t is kindly; it helps and
does not hinder. 1t fosters growth and
never mars or destroys by storm. Frosts
are rarely hurtful. Winter is full of plant
building sunshine. Two crops year are
possible on the same soil. Every day
may be day of productive labor. You
do not eat up in winter what you grow in
summer.
2-You produce more per acre and of
greater variety. Everything that grows
in the Middle West and also in Florida,
all that New England yields and also ..all
that grows in Spain and in the south of
France. This is great gain.
3-Markets are good. The country is
new. 1t is developing. Towns are grow
ing, population increasing, markets ex-
banding and investments approaching in
value. The Orient is buying our wheat
and flour, our canned goods and con-
densed milk. Much of our cheaper pro-
duce will soon go to feed the millions Of
China and Japan.
tLands are cheap. They are ready
for the plow, and because there IS not
enough of California to go around, they
will shortly double in price.
5-Rates are low, only $25 via South
ern Pacific to California points from
Sioux City or Omaha. This obtains I'm.
til June 18th. 1t is good time to 'look
around"
