A little girl of Mr. and Mrs Dan

1t is about 1900 years ago since the
fork made its appearance in Europe.
In 80 A. D. a son of the doge Pietro
Orsolo had welded in Venice the Bril-
zantine Princess Anglia, who produced
at the wedding breakfast a silver fork
and gold spoon. Then the high Vene-
ton families followed suit, and these
martyrs to fashion pricked their lips
with the new instrument The fork
prospered, however, and spread over
Italy. In 1879 it had travelled as far
as France, and in 1908 a traveller
brought it direct to England.

New Naturalization
Law Soon in Effect.

The new United States naturaliza-
tlon law, passeud June %, 1906, which
goes into effect within ninety days
from that date, makes many changes
in proceedings by which persons are
naturalized. among which are the fol-
lowing:
Ninety days must elapse between
fling petition and granting of papers.
Notice of application for naturaliza-
ton has to be given to the depart
ment of commerce and labor. Final
papers must be taken out within
seven years after first papers are
granted, or first paper taken out over
again. No person can be naturalized
unless he can speak English language.
All persons landing IN this country
will have certificate issued them by
the Bureau of immigration, stating
their description, date of nding,
vessel, etc., which certificate must
be presented by them when they
apply for naturalization.
Two witnesses are required instead
of one, as at present. Certificates of
naturalization are printed at Wash
ington on specially prepared paper.
and mum bered and distributed from
there with blanks for application,
etc., and all naturalizatlons are to
be reported to Washington. All
United district and circuit courts of
record having clerks and seals, and
having general jurisdiction unlimited
as to the amounts in controversy
which includes all the State District
Courts, have jurisdiction to hear
and grant applications for naturaliza-
tion. The cost of obtaining papers
under the new law will be less in this
state than formerly.

The Drama of the Sunset.

We never tire of the drama of sun
set. go forth each afternoon and look
into the west a quarter of an hour be-
fore sunset with fresh curiosity to see
what new picture will be painted there,
what new phenomenon exhibited, what
new dissolving views. Every day a
new picture is painted and framed,
held up for half an hour in such lights
as the great artist chooses and then
withdrawn and the curtain falls. The
sun goes down, long the afterglow

Our much neglected sense of smell
can be put to important uses. When
we'll developed, it may serve in
medical diagnosis, and some English
physicians have pointed out lately
that diabetes, enteric fever. acute
rheumatism, plague, abdominal 6s-
tuia, undressed cancers, eTysipelas in
some cases, gangrene of the lung,
pyaemia, septic mouth, bleeding
hemoIrhoids, and undressed vaIicose
ulcers are among the disorders that
emit Characteristic odors, and that
can be recognized by smell alone.
Care is necessary, however, as the
physician, after influenza or the TAX
ing of alcohol himself, may fancy his
own odor to be that of his patient
The electric target of Canadian
officer, Lieut.. Col. G. A. Peters,
is being tested by English Iifiemen.
The target itself is a bullet-proof
plate of chrome strel, and the impact
of the bullet on this drives back one
or more of a set of steel hammers
thus closing an electric circuit, by
which the exact spot hit is recorded
on an indicator plate at the firing
point. The system insures accuracy,
saves much TIME, and needs no
attendant.

suggests the following practical and
simple method of ascertaining whether
or not life is present: The point select
ed is the forearm, which is quickly ac-
cessible, is free from hair and is easily
exposed. The arm is extended horizon
tally from the body and the forearm
pronated. If the test is made in the
open air a cloak is held so as to shield
the part from all motion of the atmos-
phere. The flame of a candle is now
directly applied to a spot on the fore
arm, which is closely watched by the
observer At the end Of a few seconds
a swelling rapidly forms and bursts

Governor George G. Pardee was in
dorsed at the Republican county con-
vention held in Vallejo last Saturday
and has since been Endorsed by
several other Republican county con-
ventions throughout the State, pIin-
cipal among which was the Sacra-
mento county convention. In this
county he receives a solid delega-
tion. AS the Republican has stated
on several occasions the voters are
with Governor Pardee, and it will be
for the best interests of the Republi-
can party to give him the nomination
He is without doubt the most popular
Republican in California and would
receive a greater number of votes at
the polls than any other Republican
who could be named. Why, there
fore, should the masses of the party
submit to the political gang of San
Francisco debating to the entire
State? The interior counties want
clean politics and clean administra-
ton. The latter has BEEN given to
them by Governor Pardee and if re-
elected he will give it to them again.

Biggest Bridge on Earth.

A dispatch from Quebec says work
is now progressing very radidly on
what is, without exception, the largest
bridge in the world. When it is COM
pleted some time next year, long be-
fore the Grand Trunk Pacific Railroad
will be ready to use it, the steel work
used in its structure will weigh more
than 66,OOO,OOO pounds. Some parts
alone weigh more than 200, 900 pounds
and are now being placed in position
by the largest electric crane ever
built for any purpose.
This great mass of machinery
stands 800 feet high and moves along
as it builds its own ground. The
construction of the bridge is one of
the engineering feats of the age, and
bridge builders have come from all
parts of the world to watch the prog
ress of the work.
When completed the bridge will
have two centre posts, each of which
will weigh 100000 pounds. These
posts are 3l5 feet high from their
rest and when the ornamental cap
is placed in position will be 4lO feet
in the air.

 Nearly all of the family have about got ten well except little Mary. youngest daughter who is still in q critical condi- ton.
