rent, ETC., for an annual supplement
tary grant to be given to persons in
the employ of the state whose incomes
do not. exceed $500 per alnum. Bash
elors who have only personal respon-
sibilities are to receive cnly one-half
the grant.
A clause in the original bill ordain-
ed that persons in the emplC v Of the
state who neither are nor have been
married should receive only half this
amount, but an amendment was pass
ed granting the full sum TO bachelor
employees who maintain a home Tor

Keep The Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance of the even balance of
health causes serious trouble. Nobody
can be too careful to keep this balance
up. When people begin to lose appe-
tite, or to get tired easily, the least
imprudence brings on sickness, weak
ness, or debility. The system needs
tonic, Graves it, and should not be
denied it; and the best tonic of which
we have any knowledge is Hoods
Sarsaparilla. What this medicine has
done in keeping healthy people heal
thy, in keeping up the even balance of
health, gives it the same distinction
as preventive that il enjoys as a
cure. Its early use has illustrated the
wisdom of the old saying that a stitch
in time saves nine. Take Halls for
appetite, strength and endurance.

a cat club, each member of which be-

general purpose of this organization
is to protect these useful household
animals and to secure and perpetrate
the best feline breeds. This club was
organized several years ago, and annu-
ally there has been general public
exhibition held in Los Angeles that
has never yet failed to attract much
attention, especially among ladies. In
fact, large proportion Of the many
members of the club are women.

Did you ever hear of the thread

tree TO have growing in the back
yard don't you think, especially when
there are boys in the house, with but
tons coming off about every other
minute?
This strange tree grows in nearly
all tropical counties, and in some
places nearer home, where the eli
mate is warm and even.
In Mexico, says the New York En-
aminer, il is found in great numbers.
and the Mexicans call it the ma
guey,' which is pronounced mag
way" 1t gets the name by which We
know it from the curious formation
of its leaves. Al the tip of the leaf
there is sharp thron, which is the
needle. If you grasp it firmly and
pull it out, a long thread or fiber
comes with il. and there you are
with a needle all ready threaded for
your sewing.
This fiber thread is very strong,
and the MeXicans use ii for weaving a
coarse kind of cloth as well as for
sewing. The leaves of the tree they
