pdpeT oyHulCalo) '"The West side Is the arlStOcratic side, ma'am. There's lovely places on Price Hill avenue, but just beyond there there's little stretch of com mon streets before the nice ones begin again"
 Miss Elisabeth Brown, aged sixty five, and her young niece, Phyllis Firth. were leaving the big uptown hotel, where they had stayed their first two weeks in California, to look for rooms in quiet district. Price Hill avenue, high and beauti- full. overlooked the city. They had considered a tasteful and luxurious suite of rooms in private house, with the most exquisite fuschias climbing to the top of its porch, and had prom ised to telephone whether or not they would take the rooms, when Miss Ellis abeth caught sight of a long, winding flight of steps that led to the street below.
 Wondering at her sudden whim to go down them, Phyllis patiently ac- companied her down the wearying flight. Beside the bottom step where sat long resting bench provided by the city, stood tree, as big as bear ing apple tree.
 "Auntie-Auntie Beth, see that !" Phyllis cried out. "Why, it's a cas- tor bean plant! It's so mild here the winters haven't killed 1t, and it's grown to a tree"
 Miss Elisabeth's black pansy eyes, as soft and velvety as girls, lighted.

Salt and the Human System.

A small amount of salt may be used for seasoning, but most people use great deal too much. It is not neces- sary to eat salt, as many suppose. The case of one man is recorded who ate no salt on his food for fifteen years and enjoyed good health. The system needs only small amounts of sodium and chlorine. If a normal amount of vegetables and fruits are eaten, the proper quantities of these elements will be supplied. When salt is first omitted from the diet, the foods will taste fiat, but after a time their nat ural flavors will be enjoyed more than ever before. A small amount of salt may be used on cereals, potatoes and celery as the two latter articles con- tain relatively large amounts of po- tassium, which tends to increase the elimination of sodium from the system Boston GlOhe

 'It-it doesn't look very promis. ing" Phyllis stammered.
 The, houses were scattered and small. Across from the hill-steps was short row of tin-roofed shacks with lines full of bleaching shirts outside, and industrious Chinamen bent over smoothing-irons within.
 "There's a nice-looking house over there, Phyllis
 "But this-this isn't very stylish street, Aunt Beth, and you-you-" Phyllis hesitated. It didn't seem quite right for her to suggest to her aunt that she could afford to live on the most aristocratic street in the city auntie, who had brought her to Cali fornia as favor, when she could as well have brought her negro maid, who was more competent in waiting on her.
 Auntie hadn't had her money long only since distant Cousin Reuel, every- body thought had been lost at sea 40 years ago, two years ago had come home with fortune made in South America, and dying, had left 1t to Aunt Elisabeth. Before that, for 30 years, she had sewed for her living. And she had never been quite able al- ways to remember all the rules of liv- ing of a fine lady.
 The house was new and smart with fresh paint, there were beds of thrifty red geraniums in. green grass plot in frOnt-an oasis in desert of dried up yards around. Without hesitation Miss Elisabeth agreed to take the sec ond floor suite of rooms showed them. Phyllis caught her breath. What did auntie mean?

Mystery in Plants Presence.

The Chilean provinces of Atacama. Tarapaca and Tacna are in the rain- less region, or desert country west of the Andes, and are entirely devoid of vegetation. The winds in all of this region are from the east, and in pass ing over the elevated perpetual snows of the Andes are stripped of their moisture and arrive on the coast per fectly dry. The last rain, slight shower which fell in Antofagasta, in Atacama province, was the first rain which had fallen in 16 years. The last rain which fell in Iquique, In Tarapaca province, was the first In 24 years. With both of these showers a notable phenomenon occurred. The hills back of these cities assumed a green tint from little plant which sprang up almost in night. The query is: "From where did this plant

Blind Men and Smoking.

That blind men do not enjoy smOk ing is a belief as widespread as 1t is false. The reason is not far to seek. Try to smoke your pipe in a dark room, avoid using the glow of the bowl as a guide, and you will find 1t difficult to tell after a few minutes whether your pipe Is out or burning furiOusly. The burning weed seems to have lost both taste and aroma. In the case of the blind there Is prob- ably more acute appreciation of the fumes than the ordinary man enjoys. At the same time, the eye being quick CT than the palate in perceiving whether the pipe be lit or unlit, blind man may for a short time puff contentedly at a pipe which has gone out. It may be to avoid this that blind men smoke faster than those who have their sight
