A WONDERFUL QUERN HOW THE NORWEGIANS EXPLAIN WHY THE SEA IS SALT. Magic Mill That Ground Out Riches Has the Poor Brother While It Brightened the Rich One—The Sailor Who Made It Grind Salt. There is an old fashioned Norwegian folk talk that accounts in a very curious way for the salt in the sea. According to the story, the waters of the ocean were not always salt. But long ago there were two brothers living away up in the northland. One was very rich, and the other was very poor. One brother had herds of cattle and flocks of fat mountain sheep, while the poor one had just about nothing at all except a wife and ever so many children. One Christmas eve there was nothing in the house for them to eat, and the poor man's wife said to her husband: "If I had a rich brother, as you have, I would go and ask him for something for these poor children to eat. Tomorrow will be Christmas day, and there is not a crust of bread in the house." So he went to his brother and told him how much they needed his help. The rich man gave him a nice flitch of bacon and told him to go to an old magician who lived somewhere in the mountains. I do not know why he sent the poor man to the magician, for the latter did not bear a very good name in the neighborhood. However, when he came to the magician's stronghold everybody about the place wanted to buy his flitch of bacon. He could not understand why it was, but he thought if there was so much demand for the bacon he would at least make the best bargain he could for it. "Well," he said, "I ought by rights to take this bacon home to my good dame for our dinner tomorrow, but since you all seem to have set your hearts on it I suppose you must have it. If I sell it, however, I want a good price for it." They offered him a good round sum, but that would not do. "I will let you have it," he said, "if you will give me that quern yonder behind the door." A quern is one of the things that it would be very hard to find nowadays, because they have gone out of fashion. A quern is a mill for grinding corn by hand, and it consists of two large stones an upper and a lower one, the FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources of the 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 148¼ 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 for 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. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, otter farm bank several adequate "Well," he said, "I ought by rights to take this bacon home to my good dame for our dinner tomorrow, but since you all seem to have set your hearts on it I suppose you must have it. If I sell it, however, I want a good price for it." They offered him a good round sum, but that would not do. "I will let you have it," he said, "if you will give me that quern yonder behind the door." A quern is one of the things that it would be very hard to find nowadays, because they have gone out of fashion. A quern is a mill for grinding corn by hand, and it consists of two large stones, an upper and a lower one, the upper one having a handle by which it may be turned around on the lower stone, grinding the corn or grain between them. The old magician at first laughed outright at the idea of any one thinking that he would part with his quern, but the owner of the bacon insisted that he would be willing with nothing less than that so he finally got it. When no reason had his own door the clock was striking 12, and his wife was waiting for him to scold him for staying so long. "What in the world kept you so long?" she asked. "And what are we going to do with that old quern when we have no corn to grind?" Then he told her of his trading the bacon for the quern. She was dreadfully put out about it and especially at the loss of the bacon. "Just wait a minute," said her husband, "before you begin to complain, and see if I did not do right this time." And, putting the quern on the table, he told it to grind enough good things to make a first rate dinner for twelve hungry mouths. His wife could hardly believe her eyes as she stood there and watched the quern grinding out dainties enough to last a week. The rich brother chanced to hear how well his poor brother's family was living, and when he came and saw what an elegant table they kept he was envious and wanted to know where they got the money to buy the things. For a long time they kept the secret of the old quern, but somehow it got out at last. They were so proud of it that they could not help telling all about it, and the rich brother insisted on buying the quern. Finally they let him rent it for $800. It kept on grinding for its new owner, but he was afraid of it, never feeling sure of what it would do next, so he made his brother take it back at the same price. The poor man was glad to get it back again, and it ground out untold riches for himself and his family. They had everything they desired, among other things a golden house to live in, and the people came from every land to see the magnificence of the family that owned the wonderful quern. One day a stranger, an old seaman who had been all around the then known world, came to see the quern and wanted it to grind salt. It is supposed that the owner of the quern was rich enough by this time, for he let it go for a moderate sum, and fearing that he might repent of having sold it, the old sailor put to sea at once with his prize, anxious to know how it would work. When he had sailed so far out that no one could reach him, he said to the quern: 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 895,633 Orange 2698 589,108 Riverside 2340 427,097 San Bernardino 2250 219,182 San Diego 2098 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 32,947 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 to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded 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 Riverside 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. Was it an elaborate wedding? "Elaborate!" exclaimed the fervorce.

It is supposed that the owner of the quern was rich enough by this time, for he let it go for a moderate sum, and, fearing that he might repent of having sold it, the old sailor put to sea at once with his prize, anxious to know how it would work. When he had sailed so far out that no one could reach him, he said to the quern: "Grind salt and grind both fast and good." No sooner had he given the order than the quern began to grind heaps and treaps of salt all over the deck until the ship was ready to sink to the bottom of the sea. Scared half to death, the old sailor begged the quern to stop grinding salt. He got down on his knees to it. But there was no use talking to it. It went on grinding, grinding, and soon the vessel went down with its weight of salt. And the quern still keeps on grinding in the depths of the ocean, and that is why the sea is salt.—Virginia McSherry. ODD NOTIONS OF WOMEN. Rosa Bonheur treasured a small lead image of St. Anthony of Padua as a lucky charm. Caroline Herschel firmly believed that if she met a crosseyed beggar in the morning it presaged the discovery of a new star that night. George Elliot was a slave to the influence of the hunchback and clubfooted man and did no literary work upon the day when she saw one. Lady Millais, the wife of the great painter, was convinced that the crack of doom would sound for any one who stepped on a crack in the sidewalk. Harriet Beecher Stowe believed that it was bad luck to throw away a toothbrush which had outlived its usefulness, and to the anguish of her household every one that she had ever used. Queen Victoria cherished a number of superstitions, and among them she beheld that the removal of her wedding dress bring calamity and that a pet Manx cat would bring good luck to the royal household. 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 Riverside combined.

THRO' THE HEART OF THE ROCKIES. THE Rock Island System forms a part of the Scenic Line across the continent, by way of Ogden, Salt Lake City, Colorado Springs or Denver, thence to Omaha, Kansas City, Peoria and Chicago. Through car service is as follows: Standard sleeper daily San Francisco to Chicago. Stops five hours at Salt Lake. Through tourist sleepers three times a week from Los Angeles, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Regular daily train service via El Paso. The trans-continental traveler who has never seen Utah and Colorado from a car window, does not know how wonderfully beautiful the best scenery in the United States is. For hundreds of miles the line runs in full view of snow-capped peaks, rushing rivers and through frowning caverns. Take it for that reason alone, if you wish, but also because no other line crossing the continent surpasses it in excellence of service.

LIGHTNING IN THE ROCKIES It Is One Continuous, Dazzling, Awe Inspiring Performance. If the reader of this has never been in a mountain thunderstorm at an elevation of 7,000 feet or more he has missed an experience that will doubtless should he ever pass through it add several gray hairs to his head. To me a thunderstorm back east held no special terrors, and frequently I have been out in such a demonstration without feeling any especial nervousness. Up here on the Rocky mountains things are different, and I confess now to live in awful, abject terror of a thunderstorm, especially at night, in my tent. I suffer this terror notwithstanding the fact that so far the storm have in every instance except one gone around or beneath us without even raining enough to wet the ground. But it is the "going around and beneath" that gets on to my nerves. In the first place imagine what it is to be one and one-half miles nearer a rip roaring thunderstorm than one is at Pittsburg. There you have occasional flashes of lightning; here it is one continuous, dazzling, awe inspiring performance. The lightning strikes, too, for it is no uncommon thing during a storm to hear the rocks splintering and cracking where one especially vigorous bolt has landed. Add to this nerve racking exhibit the most awful detonations of thunder that you can imagine and a "straight blowing" wind that sometimes makes the flaps of your tent play a ragtime melody, and you have some idea of a mountain thunderstorm. The thunder is worse than the sound of a mighty battle. It bangs up against the mountain side and reverberates and rolls off into one ear splitting concussion after another until you, lying quaking in your tent, fully believe that the next "boom" will split the mountain and valley in twain and land you in China or some other seaport town. I lay one night and with chattering teeth counted five distinct thunderstorms come up to the edge of the plateau on which my tent stands and each time go through with an electrical performance that would give a stone man a dumb ague, and through it all not a cupful of water fell on my tent. Later on in the night, when I had about regained something like my usual majestic calm of mind, it began to rain steadily, and the thunder and lightning didn't even whisper. They had doubtless gone off down the canyon, scarring some other poor tenderfoot. Was it an elaborate wedding?" elaborate!" exclaimed the fair diiee. "I should think it was.

But she is not all ready for baby’s coming, unless she has done something more for the baby than merely to prepare his clothes. Many a young mother who goes through hours of pain and suffering wonders why it was not possible to prepare in some way for the baby’s advent, and to avoid the agony that seemed almost unendurable. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the one medicine for women which prepares them perfectly, both for the burdens and pleasures of maternity. It prevents the morning sickness from which so many women suffer. It strengthens the whole body, so that there is no nervousness nor anxiety. It promotes a healthy appetite and causes refreshing sleep. It gives the mother strength for her trial and makes the baby’s advent practically painless. Healthy mothers have healthy children, and it is the general testimony of those who have used Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription as a preparative for motherhood, that the children were healthier and happier than those born after months of mental misery and physical anguish on the part of the prospective mother.

Now Brench of Promise Cases Are Averted in Hungary. There are many curious and interesting facts regarding the marriage and divorce laws of foreign countries," said R. J. Brown, who recently returned from a trip abroad, where he made study of the question. "Breaches of promise are averted in Hungary by an express declaration of the civil marriage act that the relationsented by a betrothal do not give right to command the conclusion of a marriage, but if either party withdraws from an engagement without just reasons be or she is bound to grant compensation to the extent of the outlay incurred. Divorce in the English sense does not exist, but the courts can decree the personal separation of a married couple without disclosing the bonds of matrimony." "A curious law prevailing in France provides that before being married children of a family, although over time, shall seek in respectful and form-terms the advice of their father and mother. It makes no difference, however, whether the consent of parents is given, for the couple can be married a month after under any circumstances. This is also the case in the Netherlands. A divorce further entitles the innocent party to recover all the presents he or she may have made." According to the constitution of the Netherlands, the civil marriage must always precede the religious ceremony. The latter, indeed, is left entirely to the conscience of the parties concerned. There is also a law providing that a man or woman under thirty can marry without the consent of parents; the consent be refused, the couple have to appear before a judge, who advises them as he thinks best. "Many countries have now abolished marriage fees. This is the case in Norway, while in the Netherlands certain days in the week are set apart when persons may be married without payment."—Indianapolis News. Hoped for Death.

The next year, however, the same mistake was made; so the old judge wrote back to the aid-de-camp in waiting: "Sir Antoine Dorion accepts, etc., but her ladyship being still in St. Anne's cemetery Sir Antoline is compelled again to decline the invitation for her."

Will be cheerfully paid, in lawful money of the United States, by the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N.Y., proprietors of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, if they cannot show the original statement and signature of every testimonial among the thousands which they are constantly publishing attesting the superior curative properties of their several medicines, and thus proving the genuineness and reliability of all the multitude of testimonials volunteered by grateful people, in their behalf. "I feel it my duty to write you as I have received so much benefit from the use of your medicines," says Mrs. E. Sando, of Elon, Iowa. "I was troubled with torpid liver, indigestion, and nervous prostration, for about eighteen months and lost strength so that I was unable to do any work. Consulted several doctors but without receiving help. They advised me to have an operation for gall stone, which I thought would be the very last step I would take. I then sat down and wrote to you for advice, some five or six months ago, and have since been taking your 'Golden Medical Discovery.' Can now say that I am well and able to do all my work, besides doing lots of weaving. In the last two months I have woven about four hundred yards of carpet and feel now that I will keep on with it as I like the weaving business so well. I took only eight bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and some of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. "I will be glad if I can say anything to those who are suffering as I did." "I was taken sick nine years ago with fever," writes Mr. M. M. Wardwell, of Linwood, Leavenworth Co., Kans. "Had the doctor and he broke up the fever all right, but I took diarrhea right away; he couldn't cure it and it became chronic, and then he gave up the case. I got so weak with it and had piles so badly I couldn't lie down, nor hardly sit up. Was that way two or three months? thought I would 'never be well again,' but picked up one of Dr. Pierce's Memorandum Books one day and saw your description of catarrh of the stomach. I thought it hit my case. We had a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in the house that was got for mother. You recommend it for catarrh of the stomach, so I began taking it. The one bottle nearly cured me. I got two bottles next time and took one and one-half and was well. I haven't been bothered with diarrhea since." The "Golden Medical Discovery" restores the long lost appetite; it strengthens the weak stomach and corrects the impaired digestion; it promotes the flow of digestive juices and facilitates the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food into the blood. When the blood is pure and rich old insert tissues are inflammation of the mucous membranes, soothes the cough, facilitates expectoration, and deepens the breathing, supplying the system with a much needed stock of oxygen.

It is with pleasure that I give my hearty endorsement to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is the most successful remedy that I know of for the weakened condition of the digestive organs which excessive heat or overwork sometimes brings, causing indigestion, sick headache, a disagreeable or bitter taste in the mouth, sleepless nights and a complication of unnatural conditions, making one feel sick all over. Your remedy is scientifically prepared and well calculated to renovate the entire system, cleansing and vitalizing the blood and assisting the stomach to perfect assimilation of the food, which will soon restore health and harmony. Sincerely yours, E.E.Willard Judge of 11th District, Duval County, Florida. Mother—"Willie, come here!" Willie—"No, I won't." Mother—"Come, darling. I'll give you a doughnut if you'll let mother whip you. Children's Coughs and Colds.

Tragedy Averted "Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved" writes Mrs. W.Watkins of Pleasant City, Ohio. "Pneumonia had played sad havoc with him and a terrible cough set in besides.

It was long and complicated, but she assured me she had told it to my father, the late W.M. Thackeray, just before he wrote "Pendennis," and that it had partly suggested the opening chapters. It concerned a family living in Brighton, somewhere near 1902 Improvements. THE SANDERS-ARNOTT DISC PLOW.
