III AVE you ever stopped to think Of the lady-birds that flutter
in and out of your heart? And each one trying to con-
vince you that her song is the sweetest?
There's the peacock! True, she has no song. but she has
beauty and pride and-her heart il as avarious as her beauty
is binding! Then, there's the nightingale, whose sweet song at
tracts you. but whose pride in her voice stills the love in your
heart
Then there's the swan! Stately. graceful. but. oh, SO self
ISL! For a time you think the daring Of the eagle has won your
heart, but when you find that her thought is for herself alone,
the quest goes on. Until you meet the dovel Then you find all
the qualities for which you've been searching and your heart
calls to her in loves own language-and your search Is rewarded
by her shy acknowledgment Of her own love.

An Inexpensive but effective
means of improving the appearance
Of yard or lawn and increasing its
utility is to make use of an appro-
pirate number of wood arbors. trel-
liscs, garden seats, swings, fences
md gates of attractive design. The
moderate cost of these items places
them within the means of almost
every home owner dcsirous of add
ing to the beauty and value of his
home.
Two factors which should be con
sidered in planning outdoor struct-
ures of any kind are the choice of
a good design, fitting the location
and general architecture of the home,
and the use of suitable wood for its
manufacture. A pergola, an arbor,
"a garden seat, lattice fence, or
any other structure which is intend
ed to withstand the full force of the
elements at all times and seasons,
must be constructed of unusual ma
tcrialS if it is to be preserved sound
and useful for more than Il few
years.

lie and during the past year has
asked for. and seen enacted, more
and better legislation for the con
duet of the building and loan buSi-
ness. to the end that the confidence
and good reputation that they now
enjoy will always be theirs.
That more attention Will be given
by the public during the coming year
to real estate. which means the
building of more homes, is the gen
,ral opinion of all building and loan
men. The associations of Califor-
MIA will, in all probability, loan some
5000, 100000 during 1880. Much of
this money will be for new construc
tion in the nature of homes.
Distributing this money to the
building trades, which is the second
largest industry of the state in point
of capital involved and people EN-
ployed, will furnish much employ
ment to the thousands connected
with these trades, and since the av-
eragc mechanic spends about 80 per
cent of his earnings, business in gen.
cral will benefit.
That it is reasonable to expect
business in California will be good
during 1890, that it will increase
gradually. but surely. is the inform
alton gained from my contact with
the building and loan men of the
state.

Mistake To Buy
On Price Only

When YOU buy on price YOU can
never br sure.
It's mwisc to pay too much, but
il is worse to pay too little.
When YOU pay too much, you loose
= little money that's all.
But when YOU pay too little You
sometimes lose everything, because
the thing YOU bought was incapable
Of doing the thing it was bought to
do. The common law of business
balance prohibits paying little and
getting Il lot. 1t can't be done.
If YOU deal with the lowest bidder
tis we'll to add something for the
risk YOU run and if you do that
YOU will have enough to buy known
quality.
