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, ostrich farm, bank several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. Santa Ana Cemetery Company to Dr. R A Cushman—Lot 4, block 20, section X, Santa Ana cemetery; $70.

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 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Acres. Los Angeles .....85,653 Orange .....2340 Riverside .....427,067 San Bernardino .....219,132 San Diego .....869,419 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055; 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. PATIENT SUSPENDED IN SLIP persons trained in the work, they is not so much to be dreaded, even there, as in the private he apparatus recently designed by man inventor and shown in traction would greatly lighten t as well as add to the patient’s. This device is nothing less windlass designed to raise from the bed and hold it in suction until the change has been cooled it consists of an arched steel stretching from the head to the bed and supporting between all members three rollers and drum. The latter is geared crank shaft and is provided ratchet, which prevents backwetion while the weight of the cables. When the bridge is arranged over the patient a nuisels are slipped beneath the b attached to the ends of the cable ing over the rollers and connect the winding drum; then by tun crank the slings are elevated same instant, and the body may level position while rising to the sary height. When it becomes sary to remove the patient from to another the same apparatus used, carrying the suspended means of the bridge. August Galser of Oberndorfny, is the inventor of the sick pliance.

The function of a negro's black skin is supposed to be the conversion of the sun's light into heat. The heat thus generated remains in the skin and does not penetrate to the deeper tissues. Being thus provided with a sun proof armor the negro can stand an amount of heat that would be fatal to a white man and run little or no risk of sunstroke. A Lengthy Sunrise. She—Sunrise of a beautiful morning is a sight of which I never weary. He—Oh, but you should see me! Why I pass whole days looking at it—Figure. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia as follows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fall to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at W. B. Hudson's drug store. INDIGESTION "I was troubled with stomach trouble. Theford's Black-Draught did me more good in one week than all the doctor's medicine I took in a year."—MRS. SARAH E. SHIRFIELD, Killettsville, Ind. Theford's Black-Draught quickly invigorates the action of the stomach and cures even chronic cases of indigestion. If you will take a small dose of Theford's Black-Draught occasionally you will keep your stomach and liver in perfect condition. THEDFORD'S BLACK-DRAUGHT More sickness is caused by constipation than by any other disease. Theford's Black-Draught not only relieves constipation but cures diarrhoea and dysentery and keeps the bowels regular. All druggists sell 25-cent packages. "Theford's Black-Draught is the best medicine to regulate the bowels I have ever used."—MRS. A. M. GRANT, Sneads Ferry, N.C.

One of the greatest trials in caring for a sick person who is utterly helpful is the changing of the bed linen when help is necessary in lifting thefferer while the clothing is removed from the bed and replaced with fresh sheets. The duty is so tedious and so often accompanied by increased offering on the part of the patient that is apt to be postponed as long as possible and only undertaken when it can no longer put off. In the hospitals, there everything is provided to lighten the burden of caring for the sick and there plenty of aid can be had from NEW TELEPHONE TESTS. Conversation With London May Be Made Possible by Pupin Method. With a view to making improvements in the present telephone system and to test the invention of Professor Michael L. Pupin of Columbia the telephone companies with headquarters in New York city have established lines in accordance with Professor Pupin's system, and already many satisfactory results have been determined. By placing coils wound on wire at regular intervals on a circuit Professor Pupin found that the current was transmitted without interference of waves or loss of current. To apply this discovery practically the New York Telephone company has installed an underground cable to Kings Bridge, the New York and New Jersey company is experimenting with an underground line between New York and Elizabeth and two lines on Long Island, and the American Telephone and Telegraph company is testing overhead Pupin lines to Omaha, St. Paul and Boston. The first practical application was the laying of the cable to Kings Bridge, which the New York Telephone company has just completed at an expense of $200,000. Some of the wires are in use now and have satisfactorily accomplished the results expected. The American Telephone and Telegraph company has applied Professor Pupin's ideas to its long distance overhead lines and now has been experimenting with them for more than a year. The results have been generally satisfactory, but some minor difficulties—for example, the effect of lightning on the Pupin wires—have been encountered. Professor Pupin expects that his new system will revolutionize the construction of telegraph cables and make possible telephone communication between New York and London. Heretofore what is known as the "resistance" of the cable has made telephoning across the ocean an impossibility. Even in ocean telegraphy if the speed of transmission is accelerated beyond a certain point the sounds are confused at the other end of the wire on account of this resistance. It is toward the overcoming of this resistance that Professor Pupin has spent several years of study, research and experiment. A MICROBE CATCHER. Promises Protection For Users of the Telephone. An ingenious young fellow in St. PATIENT SUSPENDED IN SLING. Persons trained in the work, this duty not so much to be dreaded, and yet there, as in the private house, the apparatus recently designed by a German inventor and shown in the illustration would greatly lighten the labor well as add to the patient's comfort. This device is nothing less than a kindness designed to raise the body on the bed and hold it in suspension until the change has been completed. Consists of an arched steel frame stretching from the head to the foot of the bed and supporting between its parallel members three rollers and a wind-wing drum. The latter is geared to a bank shaft and is provided with a catheter, which prevents backward rotation while the weight of the body is on the cables. When the bridge has been arranged over the patient a number of rings are slipped beneath the body and attached to the ends of the cables passing over the rollers and connecting with the winding drum; then by turning the bank the slings are elevated at the same instant, and the body maintains a level position while rising to the necessary height. When it becomes necessary to remove the patient from one bed another the same apparatus can be used, carrying the suspended body by means of the bridge. August Galser of Oberndorf, Germany, is the inventor of the sickroom appliance. LEPROSY CURABLE. Rush Medical School Professor Doubts the Disease's Terrors. "Leprosy is curable and cannot be transmitted from one individual to another," declared Dr. James Nevrye, professor of dermatology in Rush Medical school, before an audience of University of Chicago medical students in a recent lecture. "People believe that leprosy is continuous from the fact that they read in the Bible of lepers who ran through the streets of Jerusalem crying, 'Unclean, uncleak!' said Dr. Hyde. In reality these lepers were forced to urinate this warning because of a law which compelled any one who touched IT WAS NOT SCIENTIFIC AND Few RULES WERE OBSERVED. The Batter Was Known as the Paddleman, and the Pitcher's Object Was to Throw a Ball That Could Be Hit—"Bringing In the Side." Time will not turn back in its flight, but the mind can travel back to the days before baseball or at least to the days before baseball was so well known and before it had become so scientific. There were ball games in those days in town and country, and the country ball game was an event. There were no clubs. The country boy of those days was not gregarious. He preferred flocking by himself and remaining independent. On Sunday afternoons the neighborhood boys met on some well crossed pasture, and, whether ten or forty, every one was to take part in the game. Self appointed leaders divided the boys into two companies by alternately picking one until the supply was exhausted. The bat, which was no round stick, such as is now used, but a stout paddle with a blade two inches thick and four inches wide with a convenient handle dressed on to it, was the chosen arbiter. One of the leaders spat on the side of this bat, which was honestly called "the paddle," and asked the leader of the opposition forces, "Wet or dry?" The paddle was then sent whirling up in the air, and when it came down whichever side won went to the bat, while the others scattered over the field. The ball was not what would be called a "National league ball" nowadays, but it served every purpose. It was usually made on the spot by some boy offering up his woolen socks as an oblation, and these were raveled and wound round a bullet, a handful of strips cut from a rubber overshoe, a piece of cork or almost anything or nothing, when anything was not available. The winding of this ball was an art, and whoever could excel in this art was looked upon as a superior being. The ball must be a perfect sphere and the threads as regularly laid as the wire on the helix of a magnetic armature. When the winding was complete the surface of the ball was thoroughly sewed with a large needle and thread to prevent it from unwinding when a thread was cut. The diamond was not arbitrarily marked off as now. Sometimes there were four bases and sometimes six or seven. They were not equidistant, but were marked by any fortuitous rock or shrub or depression in the ground where the steers were wont to bellow and paw up the earth. One of these tellurial cavities was almost sure to be selected as "the den," now called the home plate. There were no masks or mitts or protectors. There was no science or chicanery, now called "headwork." The strapping young oafs, embryonic teachers, presidents and premiers were too honest for this. The pitcher was the one who could throw a ball over the "den," and few could do this. His object was to throw a ball that could be hit. The paddlerman's object was to hit the ball, and if he struck at it—which he need not do unless he chose—and missed it the catcher, standing well back, tried to catch it after it had lost its momentum by striking the earth once and bounding in the air—"on the is known as the "resistance" of the cable has made telephoning across the ocean an impossibility. Even in ocean telegraphy if the speed of transmission is accelerated beyond a certain point the sounds are confused at the other end of the wire on account of this resistance. It is toward the overcoming of this resistance that Professor Pupin has spent several years of study, research and experiment. A MICROBE CATCHER. Promises Protection For Users of Telephone. An ingenious young fellow in St. Louis has contrived what he believes will be adopted as the solution to the problem of microbe dissemination by means of telephone receiver.

AUTOMOBILE TECHNOLOGY Colonel Renard's New Road Successfully Tried Richard Guenther, United Sul general at Frankfort sends to the state department count of a very practical train, an invention of Colonel Renard of Paris, ready won fame on account problems with reference to balloons. The characteristic feeble train is the principle that it pelts itself. The propelling is furnished by the locomotive therefore, as it has performed, but only to suit can be built proportionately. Experiments have demonstrated a light car with a fifty ounces power engine, weighing only 8,300 pounds, can move twenty tons weight over roads at a speed of about miles an hour. The inventor Renard excels also on being easily steered and, as fact that the separates turns "correctly," as Colonels it—i.e., they closely follow actions by the locomotive how sharp their curve. Such a train can be opened narrowest and crookedest out danger. It deserves "tram road," with fictitious useful for military as we dustrial purposes and for traction of passengers and freight. A Strange Case In the latter part of 1812 lady died near Cleveland that had greatly puzzled physicians,lar to rheumatism of thie pastimentary disease "Leprosy is incurable and cannot be transmitted from one individual to another," declared Dr. James Nervins Hyde, professor of dermatology in Rush Medical school, before an audience of University of Chicago medical students in a recent lecture. "People believe that leprosy is contagious from the fact that they read in the Bible of lepers who ran through the streets of Jerusalem crying, 'Unclean, unclean!' said Dr. Hyde. In reality these lepers were forced to urinate this warning because of a law which compelled any one who touched leper to pay a heavy fine before enclosing the temple. To touch a leper was considered merely defiling, not as source of contagion." Dr. Hyde is one of the few medical men who hold the theory of the non-contagious nature of leprosy. He exhibited a young New Zealander who has been under his treatment for two years and who is now almost recovered from the hitherto "incurable" disease. For Tender Feet.

There was no science or chanical, now called "headwork." The strapping young oafs, embryonic teachers, presidents and premiers were too honest for this. The pitcher was the one who could throw a ball over the "den," and few could do this. His object was to throw a ball that could be hit. The paddleman's object was to hit the ball, and if he struck at it—which he need not do unless he chose—and missed it the catcher, standing well back, tried to catch it after it had lost its momentum by striking the earth once and bounding in the air—"on the first bounce" it was called—and if he succeeded the paddleman was "dead," and another took his place. If he struck it and it was not caught in the field or elsewhere in the air or "on the bounce," he could strike twice more, but the third time he was compelled to run. There was no umpire and very little wrangling. There was no effort to pounce upon a base runner and touch him with the ball. Any one having it could throw it at him, and if it hit him he was "dead"—almost literally sometimes. If he dodged the ball, he kept on running until the "den" was reached. Some of the players became proficient in "ducking, dodging and side stepping, and others learned to throw the ball with the accuracy of a rifle bullet. No matter how many players were on a side, each and every one had to be put out, and if the last one made three successive home runs he "brought in the side," and the outfielders, pitchers and catcher had to do all their work over again. The boy who could "bring in his side" was a hero. No victorious general was ever proud or more lauded. Horatius at the bridge was small potatoes in comparison. He was the uncrowned king. There were no foul hits. If a ball touched the paddle ever so lightly, it was a tick, and three ticks made a compulsory run. The score was kept by some one cutting notches in a stick, and the runs during an afternoon ran into the hundreds. If the ball was lost in the grass or rolled under a Scotch thistle, the cry "Lost ball!" was raised and the game stopped until it was found—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. power of cane sugar.

PUBLIC WOMEN And public Speakers everywhere are very often troubled with a cough or some throat irritation which may lead to graver complications later on. A cough neglected may pave the way for the germs of consumption to enter the weakened system. There is no better preventive against this dread disease nor more certain medicine to cure a cough and at the same time to act as a sustaining tonic to build up the entire system than Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, which purifies and enriches the blood. It increases the activity of the blood-making process, so that the body is abundantly supplied with the red corpuscles of health. A prominent woman, who is very favorably known as an elocutionist, gives the following testimony: Dr. R. V. PIERCE, Buffalo, N. Y.: Dear Sir—I had a swollen gland in my neck which the doctor called Goitre. I had an operation performed which destroyed the goitre but left me with a cough and throat trouble. I have taken several bottles of your "Golden Medical Discovery," and find that it has helped me wonderfully. Doctors told me that I had consumption, but I have no trace of that horrible disease to-day, and owe my present health to your valuable medicine. MRS.

There was a big sensation in Leesville, Ind., when W. H. Brown of that place, who was expected to die, had his life saved by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption. He writes: "I endured insufferable agonies from Asthma, but your New Discovery gave me immediate relief and soon thereafter effected a complete cure." Similar cures of Consumption, Pneumonia, Bronchitis and Grip are numerous. It's the peerless remedy for all throat and lung troubles. Guaranteed by W. B. Hutchinson, Druggist Trial bottles free. AUTOMOBILE TRAIN. Colonel Renard's New Railless Railroad Successfully Tested. Richard Guenther, United States consul general at Frankfort, Germany, sends to the state department an account of a very practical automobile train, an invention of the well known Colonel Renard of Paris, who has already won fame on account of solving problems with reference to dirigible balloons. The characteristic feature of this train is the principle that each car propels itself. The propelling force only is furnished by the locomotive. The latter, therefore, as it has no pulling to perform, but only to supply power, can be built proportionately very light. Experiments have demonstrated that a light car with a fifty or sixty horsepower engine, weighing at the most only 8,300 pounds, can move a train of twenty tons weight over ordinary country roads at a speed of about sixteen miles an hour. The invention of Colonel Renard excels also on account of its being easily steered and, above all, by the fact that the separate cars take all turns "correctly," as Colonel Renard calls it—i.e., they closely follow the direction taken by the locomotive, no matter how sharp the curves may be. Such a train can be operated in the narrowest and crookedest streets without danger. It deserves the name "tram road, with fictitious rails." This new train is liable to be very useful for military as well as for industrial purposes and for transportation of passengers and freight. A Strange Case. In the latter part of 1878 a young lady died near Cleveland of a disease that had greatly puzzled the attending physicians, the symptoms being similar to rheumatism of the heart. The postmortem revealed one of the most WHY KINLOCH PASTE IS THE IDEAL HOUSE PAINT The purpose of House Paint is to Protect and Beautify. "Linseed oil is the life of paint" because it is the binder, the mucilage, that holds the pigments (the dry paint) to the surface; and only when the oil loses this binding quality through its disintegration by atmospheric influences should the loosened dry particles of pigment come off. The office of the pigment is decorative and also preservative in prolonging the life of the oil by protecting it from the elements. Absolute certainty of the purity of the linseed oil constitutes the chief concern in paint buying, for to exactly the extent that the binding quality of the oil is weakened by the use of adulterants or cheap "thinners," the durability of the whole paint is diminished. You have this absolute certainty of the quality of the oil in the Paint put on your house when you buy Kinloch Paint, because you buy the oil separately and give your paint this absolutely certain durability by mixing this oil gallon for gallon with the thick "Kinloch" paste in which, for your convenience and the certainty of proper proportions, all the pigments, tinting colors, "turps" and dryers are ground together and sold you, ready for the admixture of the pure raw oil by yourself. These facts alone make "Kinloch" the ideal paints but besides this guarantee of durability through your personal knowledge of the purity of the oil, is the fact that when you buy two gallons of the ordinary ready-mixed paint—the "ready for the brush" sorry you pay the ready-mixed paint price for the one gallon of oil therein, regardless of its purity, or 2 1/2 to 9 times more than for the fresh pure oil in your local dealer's barrel.

In the latter part of 1878 a young lady died near Cleveland of a disease that had greatly puzzled the attending physicians, the symptoms being similar to rheumatism of the heart. The postmortem revealed one of the most remarkable facts to the medical profession. A large burdock bur was found securely imbedded in the heart directly against the posterior surface of the aorta. It was completely enveloped with cystic tissue, which had also covered all the large blood vessels leading to and from the heart. There is only one way of accounting for the presence of the bur. It had been breathed into the air passages when the woman was a child. Beecher and Emerson. One day Mr. Beecher was dining beside Emerson and said, "Mr. Emerson, when you are eating this fine beef, can you tell by the flavor what kind of grass the ox ate?" "Why, no, of course not!" "I am right glad to hear it," replied Beecher, "for I have been feeding my congregation on Emerson for many a year, and I have been afraid they would find it out."—Boston Christian Register.

The oyster is most interesting during babyhood, says Charles Frederick Stansbury in Outling. Its manner of making a set suggests the sublime confidence of childhood. It prefers to adhere to odd objects, and its childish taste in this direction often encompasses its destruction. If an old boot, a waterlogged box, a brick, a lump of coal or piece of discarded and fractured crockery lies upon the bed of the ocean where a set is in progress, the young oysters or eggs will cluster thick and fast upon it, showing a very decided preference as against the surrounding natural anchorage. I have even seen a pair of corsets that could never again hope to imprison the waist of lovely woman entirely covered with a set of young oysters. Thus does Nature pay her tribute to Art. A favorite foundation for life adopted by sensible young oysters is upon the shells of their ancestors long since defunct, and for this reason many planters strew the bottom of their holdings with such "clutch" in the hope that the wandering ova will stop and there adopt a local habitation. Lying thus upon the floor of the deep, the young oyster begins to grow and in doing so invariably points his little "bill" helventwitted attitude that he maintains throughout life. undisturbed. As he grows over his shell is often used by the flora of the sea as an anchorage, and thus he is apt to be found enveloped in the foliage of the curious oyster sponge, coralline, red and green sea lettuce and other quaint species of algae and sea grasses. The dogwinkle, too, and his cousin, the periwinkle, are very fond of attaching their eggs to the shell of the oyster, each one by a delicate stem, causing it to appear like some curious sea flower. An Unselfish Husband. Consider (pointing to his cabinet)—ladies and gentlemen, I now call your attention to the great illusion of the evening. I will ask any lady in the audience to step on the stage and enter the cabinet. I will then close the door. When I open it again, the lady will have disappeared, leaving no trace. Husband (to his wife)—Matilda, my love, do oblige the gentleman and walk up.—London Telegraph. Always Had It. "Has your husband a birthmark or anything of that kind by which he may be identified?" asked the detective. The deserted wife reflected a moment. "Yes, sir," she said. "He has a sort of hangdog look on his face, and it was born with him, I guess."—Chicago Tribune.
