BEGGING EASIER THAN WORK At Least That's Why One Man Sold Out a Street Stand. I once got a rather curious confession from a professional beggar, which if true, and I believe it was, opened my eyes to the reckless ways in which American beggars are made. "I had been keeping a sidewalk stand for years," said he. "I worked hard and earned from $8 to $4 a week. On that I lived. One night when I stalled to go home by the Mission street cars I found that my pocket had been picked. It was too far to walk, so I decided to borrow a nickel. The first man to whom I told my story gave me a quarter without hesitation. All the way home I thought it over. A quarter was as much as I made clear at my stand many a day. It all ended by my selling out and going to begging, always telling my first story. I have done pretty well since then and like the business." One day I met him in Union square. "How's business?" I asked. He was leaning against a tree, deeply intent on some figures in a book. He slipped the book into his pocket and began to whine. "Never mind your regular story," I said, "I know it. Answer my question like a man, and you may add a dollar to your bank account." After a little preliminary skirmishing he waxed confidential. "I make it a rule," he said, "never to walk less than 100 blocks each day. It is a very poor block that doesn't average 2½ cents. Two blocks will more often net me 10 cents." He consulted the book. "Yes, the average of the last six months is $5 a day—that is, just 5 cents a block. I have been on this beat nearly a year now, and I have my regular customers. Excuse me a minute." He passed through the fog to the other side of the street and touched his hat to an elderly acquaintance of mine who was coming down the bread steps of the Pacific Union club. In a moment he returned with a bright new quarter in his band. "I told him my wife was better today," he said, smiling pleasantly, "and that she prayed for him night and day. Well, so long! Your dollar passes the limit today—and business is over." Can you blame him? Five dollars a day is the wages of a first class mechanic. Why should not begging become a profession when people are such easy A WORD WITH HUSBANDS. Give Your Wife a Little Praise Once In Awhile and See How It Works. “If husbands only knew, or if knowing, only cared, how very much their words and manners affect the temperature of the home world, they would never by word or deed leave it shrouded in gloom,” argues Mrs. A. M. Marriott in an article entitled “Praise Your Wife” in Woman’s Home Companion. “To most wives the husband is the sun around which every thought revolves. There is scarcely an instant in which his presence is not felt as she goes about her work or even when at rest. If she is preparing the meals, the way John likes this or that or some remark he has made about some article of food is recalled to mind. If she looks about her, she sees his hats and coats hanging on the hooks, and the hats invariably wear the same expression John’s face wore when he left in the morning—a jolly, good humored look if he went away pleasant; if angry, a gruff, defiant, attend to your own business air takes the place of the so lately gentle pliable shapes in felt and fairly bristle with wrath over some trifle, but still enough to obscure the sun in the little world for many a weary day, perchance, ore it is seemingly forgotten. “There is no true woman but will repay her husband over and over again for kind, thoughtful treatment. He is ready to call her childish, and she may seem so to him; but one thing is sure—a woman never forgets. “All little deeds of love or thoughtfulness sown by his hand yield a certain and abundant harvest. She may love her home botter than any other spot on earth, yet she sometimes gets so weary of the daily routine of never ending duties that fall to her lot that she cannot help an occasional feeling of envy for those who have more time for recreation, for going abroad, for all the little things dear to the heart of every woman, but which the stern hand of duty most effectually debars her from enjoying. Still, for all that, she would not for the whole world exchange places, even if she could, with any other woman, leaving home and John—dear old John—as the price of her freedom from care. “If your wife has been a faithful and true wife to you, tell her so. Do not think it lowers your manliness any to let her know that she still has a place in PEOPLE WHO GAMBLED. Chinese and Italianans Especially dieted to Games of Chance.

"I thought you told me, Witson, that you intended to do business just the same after you had moved into the suburbs. I know you have plenty, but I always thought you one of those men who insist upon dying in the harness." "You were right about it, my old friend. I believe that it would be impossible for me to avoid spending at least two or three hours a day on 'change, but my time is completely taken up, and I haven't looked at a market report for a month.'" "Wouldn't believe it if any one else told me. How do you exist?" "I'm having young trees set out, getting a garden ready, superintending the building of a barn, watching them pave the street and having a continued kick with the assessors, who seem to think that my property is worth all I paid for it." "You'll soon have all that off your hands. I was afraid might have left us permanently." "Oh, I've only commenced. I have a Jersey cow, a pointer pup, a tandem, two Berkshire pigs and a kodak, besides'" "Never mind. The cow, the pup and the kodak are enough. I'll just tell the boys that it's all off, so far as trade with you is concerned. You have three fads that will keep you busier than a coon in a bee tree."—Detroit Free Press. The Undertaker's Chairs. "I see in the windows of undertaking shops," said Mr. Staybolt, "a placard which says that campstools and folding chairs are to hire there, delivered by express wagon. I infer from this that chairs must be hired out for other than funeral purposes, for festive occasions, in fact, as indeed I know of no reason why they should not be. But they must lead a varied life, the chairs—funeral one day and wedding, it may be, the next. They know when they start where they're going—that is, they know the nature of the occasion. They can tell that by the wagon they go in. If when they are carried out they find themselves put into the black wagon of the undertaker, they know it's a funeral they're going to. If they are put into just a plain, ordinary delivery wagon, they know that they are going to a wedding or a party or some gathering of more or less gayety, but they cannot tell what will happen next. Well, I don't know that there's anything so very remarkable about this after all. The experience of the chairs is like that of the people who sit on them. They have their days of smiles and their days of tears."—New York Nearly Forfeited His Life. A runaway almost ending fatally started a horrible ulcer on the leg of J. B. Orner, Franklin Grove, Ill.

Biggest Show 'cept One." A circus was coming to town and every barn and every force within a radius of 60 miles or so had been billed with the usual lurid circus announcements. An old time darky and a young yellow dude" were gazing at the bills and wondering. "Barnum and Bailey's circus. The biggest show on earth," read theongster. What—what's dat?" asked the old time darky, pricking up his ears. The other read again the legend of the show bills. "You don' know what you is talking about, nigger. Dat show kain' touch John Robinson's. He useter cum' frore and dat was a show with seenDat was the biggest' show on dis ear', tho nuff." The old man had evidently not been a circus for many years. The darkies wear by John Robinson throughout the south, anyway. "Read it for yourself, then," said the indee. "I tell you that thing says this is the biggest show on earth." The old man proceeded to spell out he big letters. He waded through 'Barnum and Bailey,' and after a rest began on the remainder of the sentence: "B-i-g-g-o-s-t s-h-o-w o-n e-a-r-t-h-b,s-e-p-t-1."

If your wife has been a faithful and true wife to you, tell her so. Do not think it lowers your manliness any to let her know that she still has a place in your affections. She has toiled early and late for you and your children, through sickness and health, and self denial has grown to be her motto. It takes but little from her loved ones to make her happy, so do not begrudge her a word of praise now and then as her just reward, and of far more value to her starving heart than gold. There are some things which money can never buy, and wounds which it cannot heal, but love levels all obstacles, overcomes all difficulties and immeasurably sweetens life."

This term, time honored and once commonly employed, is now no longer heard. Two other terms, once as familiar and almost as commonly used, but now put away on the same shelf with the goose egg, are the 'redhot grounder' and the 'daisy cutter.'" "The daisies grow now just as they did then, for which let us be duly grateful, but the baseball is a daisy cutter no longer. The balls are heated now as redhot as ever—if anything, a little hotter—but such a ball is no longer described by the phrase, once familiar, a 'redhot grounder.' The extreme warmth of the sphere is now referred to in some other manner. "The fact is that in baseball, as in all things else, fashions change, and phrases that today seem to glow with descriptive fervor may tomorrow seem dull and spiritless indeed."—New York Sun. Get the Most Out of Your Food You don't and can't if your stomach is weak. A weak stomach does not digest all that is ordinarily taken into it. It gets tired easily, and what it fails to digest is wasted. Among the signs of a weak stomach are uneasiness after eating, fits of nervous headache, and disagreeable belching. "I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla at different times for stomach troubles, and a run down condition of the system, and have been greatly benefited by its use. I would not be without it in my family. I am troubled especially in summer with weak stomach and nausea and find Hood's Sarsaparilla invaluable." E.B.Hickman, W.Chester, Pa.

And made the proper speeches about the guilt of the beautiful creatures the darky trainer trotted up and down; he had not lost his look of grave acquiescence when he heard things about the horse who trots. But a chance word touched his true thought, and he spoke the faith of Kentuckians and westerners, Texans and Californians, in something this wise: "That's right. It ain't really riding to jolt up and down and look stylish on a trotting horse. You can't say much about it in Boston, or anywhere in cities where people don't care about the easy steps. They don't know what you're talking about. It's a queer notion and one my folks in Kentucky can't get used to—that a trotting horse can be a saddle horse. Women want to be stylish, though everywhere, and they would learn how to rise up like the Boston women. But they didn't keep it up. A steal away and the gallop's the thing for country American riding."—Boston Transcript. Wisdom Beyond His Years. His mother found him in the jam and reprimanded him.

Let it freet us not in dread Of the weary way ahead. While we yet look down—not up—To seek out the buttercup And the daisy where they wave O'er the green home of the grave.

Sketch of the industries and Resources of this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148½ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds.

The others stared at him agastah, but before they could reply the landlord himself came in and proceeded to serve out quarts of ale in dignified fashion. He went round the room systematically until he came to the smart young man, who held out his hand for the pitcher. "Nay, lad, tha'll get no ale from me," said the landlord.

Blackheads are often largely due to poorness of blood. For this reason anemic people are generally troubled with them, and in their case the general health must be improved before a cure can be effected. Constipation also tends to produce pimples and blackheads. People who suffer from these should eat largely of fruit, both ripe and stewed, and avoid starchy food, such as potatoes and bread. This simple emollient will soften the skin without making it greasy and is excellent for wiping over one's face after a bicycle ride or, if used warm, after being out in a keen wind! Take three parts milk and one part cucumber juice, heat almost to boiling and skim before using. This does not keep long, so it is useless to make a large quantity at a time. FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties: No. farms. Acres. Los Angeles: 6577. 895,663 Orange: 2888. 569,436 Riverside: 2340. 471,907 San Bernardino: 2550. 219,132 San Diego: 2088. 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties: Acres. Los Angeles: 85,644 Orange: 41,549 Riverside: 27,147 San Bernardino: 37,877 San Diego: 16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riversides embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belaunded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riversides combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State.

He Won't Die Of consumption" is a remark often made of a fleshy man. The remark expresses the popular recognition of the fact that the sign of consumption is emaciation, loss of flesh. On the other hand, a gain in flesh is a sure sign that wasting diseases are being cured. Emaciated people with obstructive coughs, bleeding lungs, night-sweats and weakness have been perfectly cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. One several steps on the cure were recorded in ounces and pounds of increasing weight. When there is gain in flesh the wasting disease is being surely cured. Mr. Will H. Whitmire, of Arkton, Rockingham Co., Va., writes: "Our son contracted a deep cold about the first of July, 1859, and had a terrible cough. We called a doctor and he pronounced it irritation of the bronchial tubes with asthmatic trouble, and he informed me that my son was liable to die at any time. He told me that if we could keep the bronchial tubes open, he might cure him but after treating him several weeks and my son growing worse all the time I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and Pleasant Pellets." I had seen several almost miraculous cures brought about by the use of these medicines, and of course I had wonderful faith in them. He used three bottles of 'Golden Medical Discovery' at home and one vial of the 'Pellets,' and was then well enough to go to West Virginia, taking a supply with him. I am just in receipt of a letter from him from which I quote: "I am well and hardy and getting very fleshy."

Keep begonias where the air is not too dry, and they will not drop their leaves. In watering house plants sufficient should be given to soak the soil thoroughly. A tree is nearly dormant in winter, especially one that has been lately transplanted. Plants in a dormant state require very little water during the winter, and an excess will cause decay. Drenching rosebushes with strong quassia tea is a good curative of bugs and other destructive insects and pests. To root cuttings quickly fill a saucer full of sand, into which the slips may be set. Keep the sand the consistency of mud. Never give up a decaying rosebush until you have tried watering it two or three times a week with soot tea for a short time. Repotting of plants becomes necessary for two reasons—the plant uses up the available fertility in the soil and fills the pots with roots. To prevent crotched trees from splitting after they come into bearing twist and fasten two small limbs together, and as the stem grows it will prevent splitting. Cuttings of quick growing herbaceous plants, like heliotrope, verbena, phlox, geraniums, root quickly, chrysanthemums quickest of all. Choose cuttings when the plants are most vigorous. Modesty.

The indoor sports and amusements or evenings at home are mainly card games and story telling. The father cells his sons the tales of the mighty heroes of past ages, relates Japanese history and teaches reverence and obeience to the mikado, the "heaven appointed ruler," or the grandmother, gathering the little ones in a circle around the brazier filled with hot coals, tells them wonderful fox stories, stories of demons and gnomes and clever fables about animals. Their game of goman is like our checkers, but it requires 360 pieces instead of 24. It is played on a raised stand. In the game of chess they have 40 pieces. There are several ways of playing backgammon, and it is very popular. Private theatricals are a very common form of amusement among both boys and girls, and, like most of their sports, are frequently shared by their elders. As the children are often taken to the theater they readily imitate what they have seen there.—Ida Tigner Hodnett in St. Nicholas. Objected to the Motion. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn was extremely fond of going down to the sea in ships, and it was his custom to spend from Saturday to Monday on board his yacht. On one occasion he invited one of the puisne judges of the queen's bench to accompany him on a cruise. At the start the sea was as smooth as glass, but during the night the wind freshened up and caused the little craft to toss and roll in a manner which affected the puisne judge most unpleasantly. Lord Cockburn, hearing of his sickness, went into the cabin and, laying a soothing hand on his shoulder, said: "My dear C., can I do anything for you?" "Yes, your lordship," he replied, in a pained voice. "You will greatly oblige me by overruling this motion."—Law Notes.
