MAKES CITY GARDEN
MINIATURE YOSEMITE.
california Man lias Scenery Of
Famous Valley Reproduced
Around His Home.

y. Currier, q member of the San
Francisco Fire Department, was so
greatly fascinated with the beauties
Of the Yosemite Valley that he has
had the exterior of his house. at No.
1909 Lyon street, decorated with
paintings depicting famous scenes in
the valley.
Currier was unable to visit the
Yosemite as often as he desired, and
therefore adopted the simple ex-
pedient OF having the Yosemite
brought to him. He engaged an artist
friend TO paint on the front of his
dwelling the scenes he so much ad-
mired. Now he can take seat in
HIS front garden, throw a pebble at
the cat and instantly envelop him
self in the atmosphere of mountain
pine and roaring torrent. Others
have 70 pay hotel bills, guide fees
and railroad fare, but not Currier
The Yosemite is at his door. He can
imagine himself either, at home or
abroad. according to his fancy.
Outside the little garden hedge the
worlds jarrilg cry may disturb the
hours. the hokey pokey man may tell
community what he is selling and
small boy may give shrill whistle
to a ccnlpanion six blocks distant, but
Currier heeds not From his front
garden he can see the faint suggestion
of breeze signing through the
tall pines, the black oaks and
silver frs standing out in vivid mag
nificence against the background OF
the outside wall He can see the
summer sun transform into dia-
monds, like natures gems In natures
crown, the splashes of snow on noun
tain summit, above his kitchen win
dow. He can view the cascade send
ing up. glorious shower of whitened
water as it dashes down between tho
embankments of solid rock over the
front door steps. The feecy clouds
he can enjoy as they sail over the
water butt. Violet haze and purple
shadow he can get by hitching his
chair around to the side of the house.
Currier visited the Yosemite two
years ago, and since then has felt tho
call repeatedly So strongly finally
became the fascination that ne had
the scenes painted.

A Forbidden Weapon.

Every traveller knows that there
are certain restrictions upon the in
reduction of arms into foreign coun-
tries. Among the weapons which It
is forbidden to take into France is
the "tromblon," which is expressly
mentioned In the Penal Code as a
weapon the carrying and sale of
which is not allowed. And yet the
''tromblon" is not a flrearm which is
commonly used nowadays, for It Is
nothing else than the blunderbuss,
weapon which old caricatures show
to have been carried by the guards
of coaches as a protection against
highwaymen and to have been hung
over his fireplace by John Bull at
the time of the scare of Napoleonic
invasion hundred years ago. The
blunderbuss had a flint lock, short
barrel and muzzle like a trumpet,
the bell mouth being designed to
scatter the slugs with which the
primitive piece was charged. Any
one who buys one at an old curiosity
shop had better take care how he In
PRODUCES it into France, for the PEN
atty for doing so is fine of 200
francs.-London Globe.

FEVER EPIDEMIC
EhOANGERS CATTLE
Dreaded Mouth and Foot Disease
Prevalent In Eio toM.

Danville Especially "A serious out
break of a contagious foot and mouth
disease of cattle has occurred in Mon
tour and Northumberland Counties
The outbreak Is considered of so serl-
Gus nature that there arrived In
Danville several representatives of
the State Livestock Sanitary Board.
and three experts of the United States
Department of Agriculture, who are
now occupied in an effort to prevent
the spread of the L1alady.
The foot and mouth disease is
common in Europe, but exceedingly
rare In this country. This is the
first time the disease has ever broken
out In Pennsylvania and only the
second time in North America, it
having been epidemic in New Eng
land in 1899, when thousands of
cattle died.
The outbreak here has been traced
to a car load of cattle shipped TO
Danville from Buffalo, New York,
and sold to different farmers In this
vicinity by a local dealer.
Already the State authorities have
placed four farms and a cattle pen
under strict quarantine. All the cat
tie on these places are dying.
