LOVE TROUBLES OF THE RICH.
True Lovers Care Little for Race
Wealth or Social Position.

True Lovers Care Little for Race,
Wealth or Social Position.
Recent events have recalled
very particular attention to the
fact that love not only laughs at
locksmiths, but at every sort OF
opposition. In the popular novels
of a generation ago it was the
poor man who woOed the rich girl
or the rich man who wOOed the
poor girl, and succeeded after a
sea of troubles in reaching the
state of happiness which we were
led to believe was perpetual. So
mote it be! 1t is constantly borne
in on the minds of the intelligent
that love has no relation to condi-
ton or circumstance. We are told
by some that among the rich there
is no romance because of none
tary conditions, while others
would have us believe that every
poor girl is anxious for a million
aire husband. The truth is that
the great principle underlying the
fundamental conduct of human
nature is the sexual instinct, and
this has no bounds either as to
race, wealth or social position.
No philosopher has explained why
we love, but all admit that we do
and without any prescribed rule.
That a bride of wealth and so
cial position from New York
should have arrived in this city.
says the Philadelphia Tribune
with all her own and her hus
bands changes of clothing in {
bag cannot but stir the senti
mental minds of the vicinage. Ii
: has been said that all the wOrlt
p, loves a lover, and it certainl'
, loves those who have courage
, The present case is of little impor
+ lance except as an example of TIN
i, fact that love knocks with equa
, pace at the novels of the poor an,
the palaces of kings-which is
slipht variation from Horace. an
was as true in his day as in ours
And, go It's love, tits love tina
makes the world go round"

Coppers in Philadelphia.

Coppers in Philadelphia.
That's the oddest-looking one
cent piece l ever saw" said a
near-sighted man, as he walked
into a cigar store on Chestnut
street and fumbled over a bright
yellow coin, according to the New
York Journal.
"Where did you get this ?" asked
the tobacconist, who had taken
the bit of money for examination
"Street-car conductor gave it to
me in change-bought an ex
change ticket, you know. Is it a
good penny"
GAS a penny it is very bad" was
the reply, "but as an English half
sovereign it is worth just
$2.421A."
A gentleman who was standing
in the store interrupted the con
v~ersation.
Il can match your half sOver-
eign," said he. II got mine from
a newsboy this morning. ibid not

til the little chap had scampered

The coins were found to be
identical, each bearing the face OF
King Edward VII. They we're of
recent coinage. the minting being
sharp and no signs of wear appar
ent. The gold coins are about the
size of a copper one-cent piece.
and at a casual glance might be
easily mistaken for that basel
metal.
Inquiry among %trolley-car con
ductOrs elected the information
that more than a dozen of the hal
s~overeigns have turned up in the
course of change making. MANY
more doubtless have passed out as
pennies, though every new penn,
is being well squeezed now.

WOODEN SILK.
Silkworm No Longer an Essential
Medium in Production.

jim 4 AO ANNbNA
Medium in Production,
The silk worm has no longer d
monopoly of the silk trade. Mod
ern competition has proved too
strong for it. The inventor of the
artificial process of silk making,
Count Hilaire de Chardonnet, has
discovered that the worm does
not make silk at all. Whatitreally
does is to mix the vegetable con.
tanned in the mulberry leaves
which form its food with a gummy
secretion and then spin.
The real fabric of the silk, the
count maintains, is contained in
the mulberry leaves, and the
worm is simply a sort Of middle
man. He, therefore, erected ma
chinery for macerating the leaves
and younger wood of the null
berry, orange and other trees
which he found suitable, and
treated them with a preparation
the chemical compositionof which
is exactly the same as the secre-
ton Of the silkwOrm.
BY means of hydraulic presses
and machinery for chilling the
mixture hY electricity an artificial
silk was obtained which surpassed
the luster of the natural product
and was turned out at less than
one-quarter the price. II was also
discovered that almost any soft
wood answered the purpose as
well as the comparatively rare
mulberry so it would seem nowto
be only a question of time before
silk can be purchased as low as
from 10 to 25 cents a yard.

SHEEP DOG
Old English BObtails Claimed to Be
the Better.

An old English bObtailed sheep
dog is at present the subject Of
much discussion in England, and
considerable i'll feeling is mani.
tested both by the advocates of
the present-day winners and by
those who claim that the latter
are not at all what they should be,
but merely animated wOOlly mon
sters which would tire out in no
time if given the work a sheep
dog should do in rainy or snowy
weather.
AS the bobtailed sheep dog
seems to be making an inroad in
the affections of American dog,
lovers, says the American Field,
we are naturally interested in
this, which is not a well-knOwn
breed in this country, but the num-
bers exhibited at our shows are
yearly increasing, and this is rec
Ognized by English breeders, so
much so that breeders, such as Til
ley Bros, of England, brought
over a whole kennel of bObtails to
the last Westminster Kennel club
show in New York, most OF
which they disposed of either at
the show or subsequently.
According to the opponents OF
some of the present-day winners
the bench shows have developed d
dog much too large, with too mucl
coat and too heavy to be use(
with sheep.
The unique appearance of thu
old English sheep dog seems t'
appeal to a certain number o.
American f%anciers, who have n,
sheep to herd, but keep the dog al
Il pet. In what may be called TIN
!, evolution of dogs the presen
status of the bObtail is simpl,
wonderful. His use in the earl.

harvesting. The reapers, busy in every direction, with gangs of men to econ omfze the time, make light and rapid work, leaving the grain sacked and piled lin lthe field to be transported to market at the option of him in charge, and the straw baled and piled awaiting call for market. Horse power, mule power or steam power is used as best suits the occasion, though steam power is more risky. Last week large field of grain was fired by a spark from the engine and 800 acres of grain burned over, before the fire was subdued. That looks big to a New Englander, but things are run on a big scale out here, where the reaper starts in the morning, runs in one straight line till noon, then 8 stop for dinner, which is carried along with them; then return to their start ing point, where they turn out the team. eat supper, and stretch out for the nights rest, the same to be repeat ed on the following day and so on, un- til the finish. The last 9 miles of our journey, we are away from fruit cul- ture, as business, and running through a grain and cattle raising belt, and the native tree that abounds in the open stretches of cultivated land is the live oak in great abundance, adding greatly to the beauty of the landscape. We reach San Francisco in the early afternoon, where we make a stop until the following Monday, when we will move on to Salt Lake City.-E. l.. Johnson.
