SOCIETY IN ENGLAND POWER OF CASTE AND INFLUENCE OF THE LANDOWNING CLASS. The Number of Things That a "Gentleman" Cannot Do Without Losing Social Prestige Is Too Great by Far to Catalogue. An interesting book might be written on the influence of the English landowning class. Even in these days of ubiquitous manufactures, when to look at a map of England is to wonder how it is possible for a landowning class even to exist, the social and political influence of that class is something more than maintained. The ambition of every successful Englishman is to have "a place in the country," to get a foothold on the aspiring territorial ladder, and the ranks of the landed gentry are continually being re-enforced, more so perhaps today than ever before, by recruits from the industrial army. The immense utility of the English country gentleman will not be questioned by any one who really knows England. But at the same time it is equally indisputable that the sort of life he affects—the endless indulgence in sport, the salmon stream, the grouse moor, the hunting box, the pheasant preserve and so on—is on the whole one of more or less harmless and often irresponsible idleness and that the neighborhood in which he lives is rarely apt to regard him as an apostle of strenuousness. The "country" everywhere stands for leisure, and so long as the "country" continues to represent the supreme object of an Englishman's ambition and his social ideal so long will England be leisurely. Again, in an old and stable land, with social standards as fixed as the social foundations and governed by a monarchy, the conventions play an enormous part, and the conventions in England are all against hard work. It is the leisure class that rules, that makes up society, that holds all the positions men naturally covet. A sort of "Four Hundred" atmosphere permeates England. In America one gets a whiff of it on Fifth avenue and at Newport, but in England one is never away from it. The number of things, for instance, that a "gentleman" cannot do without losing social caste is, in England, so prodigious as to form almost a schedule of forbidden industries. There are some trades and professions that are "respectable," and Trip to Yellowstone and on one was Two-Ocean Lake—two small lakes close together, one a bright blue and the other a brilliant green. The waters from one flow toward the Pacific, and from the other they finally reach the Atlantic through the Gulf of Mexico. The hot springs of the park are scattered all over the tract, and number in all four thousand, but the visitor sees but a few hundred. These hot springs are among the most beautiful sights of the entire trip. They surpass the geyers in beauty if not in wonder. They vary in size from a small circular basin to a small lake, like the Prismatic Lake and Sunset Lake, and are from a few feet to two or three hundred feet in depth. Some are quiet, some tealing more or less violently or occasionally splashing up, but clouds of white steam rise from all. One can walk to the edge of nearly all of them and observe the wonderful and fantastic formations on the sides of the quiet ones. For the water is wonderfully clear; it is also of varying colors, as the names, Sapphire Pool, Turquoise Pool, Emerald Pool, etc., indicate. A hot-water plant, the only specimen in the world, I believe, is found in many of the hot-water pools. It grows in water almost, but not quite, at the boiling-point. It belongs to the sea-algae family, is a beautiful reddish-brown in color and clings to the formations on the inside of the pool. The paint-pots are small tracts of boiling hot springs, with boiling soft mud instead of water. The mud flops up and down, and in some of them this makes temporary flower-shaped in the mud. There are pink, terra cotta and light blue paint-pots right next to each other, close enough in some places to splash from one into the other; but we could see that they came from different strata, the boiling mud surfaces being of varying depths. Mud Volcano is like a very large paint-pot of whitish-gray mud, but we did not linger long there, as it is an extinct crater thirty feet deep, and the rumblings and odor, resembling hundreds of rotten eggs, made us hasten on. The Fishing-cone is an extinct geyser, now a boiling hot spring, situated in the edge of Yellowstone Lake, about fifteen feet from shore. A plank is laid out to it and one may stand on it, catch a fish from the lake, turn around. THE ALBATROSS. Its Wonderful Flights and Some Beliefs About the Bird. Of all the strange creatures seen travelers not least interesting the wandering albatross. This great feathered wanderer sometimes urges seventeen feet from tip to tip its wings, will follow a ship far at a time. Some travelers and say declare that they have seen a paralar bird fly for weeks at a time out ever being seen to alight upon waves. It not merely follows the ships wheels in great circles around it above it, high in the air, as if to that it is not tired. Sometimes bird will be seen to hang in thence with its wings apparently motionless and the sailors say that then asleep. Not only in pleasant weather will albatross follow a ship for days weeks, but through the most storms it will continue its uninterrupted far in the south Atlantic, or to equally remote place, and there one egg in the hollow of a rock. The albatross has always been no mystery, and in ancient times people believed that these unweary sea birds were the companions of Greek warrior Diomedes, who said to have been changed into birds by death of their chief. When America was discovered ships began to sail abroad to the cific ocean, to double Cape of Hope and to explore the "seven" generally, the old belief about the tross had been forgotten by the seas and explorers, but in their lonelysome voyages over waters were cut by no keel but their own upon whose vast expanse they saw other sail but theirs—the presence albatross following the ship day became a great source of coarse companionship. So it came that belief that ill luck would follow one who killed one of these birds that belief is common among singing men of this very day. Cole famous "Rhyme of the Ancient User" is based upon this belief. Though the superstition about killing of an albatross bringing luck is only afoolish one, it has a useful purpose for many years preventing the slaughter of these life-threatening birds. A sort of "Four Hundred" atmosphere permeates England. In America one gets a whiff of it on Fifth avenue and at Newport, but in England one is never away from it. The number of things, for instance, that a "gentleman" cannot do without losing social caste is, in England, so prodigious as to form almost a schedule of forbidden industries. There are some trades and professions that are "respectable," and those that are not. Only an Englishman knows which is which, why a doctor ranks socially above a dentist, why a man who sells should be irretriably below the man who manufactures, and he, the Englishman, knows it by an instinct which is born in him and which he never examines and so cannot define. Any one who can tell why the merchant should consider himself and be considered by others the social superior of the biggest storekeeper in the kingdom will be well on the way toward understanding England. The daughter of a wealthy manufacturer of kettles marries the owner of the largest dry goods store in London. Why should she be thought and spoken of as having married a little, though only a little, beneath her? Personally, I do not know. I merely observe, without attempting an explanation, that the man in the wholesale business is more looked up to than the man in the retail business, that while the former is not averse to talking about his affairs, the latter is only too anxious to "sink the shop," and that social position in England is regulated by a host of perfectly facitious and conventional considerations more readily felt than expressed. Such graduations exist of course to some extent everywhere, but nowhere are they so stereotyped, nowhere do they strike so deeply, as in England. I have never yet been able to discover an Englishman who had not the social privilege of despising some other Englishman, and the lower one penetrates in the social scale the more complex and mysterious and the more rigidly defined do these lines of denarction become. The point is that throughout England the sense of the nobility of work for its own sake, if not actually lost, has become so confused by the intrusion of quite alien factors that the sphere of action open to a young man of whatever rank is sensibly circumscribed. The country, while democratic in form, is not democratic in spirit. It has not accepted and does not subscribe to that gospel of work which lies at the root of American strength, American success, American democracy. Any one who has looked into English trade unionism must have realized how largely it is mixed up with class spirit. The workingman who knows that his employer drives down to the office at half past 10, takes a couple of hours for lunch, is home again shortly after 5 and thinks himself somewhat of a "hustler" if he is content with three months' holiday in a year is not likely to have a keen appreciation of the dignity of labor. His ideal insensibly be can The Fishing-cone is an extinct geyser, now a boiling hot spring, situated in the edge of Yellowstone Lake, about fifteen feet from shore. A plank is laid out to it and one may stand on it, catch a fish from the lake, turn around and drop it in the goyser-cone and cook it. We tasted fish that we saw cooked this way, though not so caught, as it had to be cleaned for the purpose, but we saw plenty of fine trout swimming about, and later on, when we had time to stop, caught some. We sailed on a steamer as large as those that go to Catalina Island, across the lake a distance of twenty-five miles. The lake was covered with white-caps the day we crossed. We stopped a short time at an island, and got out to see some buffalo and elk corralled there. This lake is the largest body of water at this altitude (8000 feet) in the world, with the exception of one in the Andes Mountains in South America. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountains of transcendent beauty, and our steam trip was one of the most enjoyable features. When we arrived at our destination on the other side of the lake we had still time to take a row-boat and row around from the lake up into the Yellowstone River, where we were soon so excited in catching many large game trout that everything else, even supper (and we were very hungry), faded temporarily from view. The next morning we got an extra early start for the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. We crossed Alum Creek en route, a creek which the drivers always recommend Chicago people to get out and wade. I thought of trying it, but it looked too deep. The Grand Canyon, while one of the truly grandest sights in the park, is one of the hardest to do justice to by description. The gorge is a quarter of a mile deep and averages a half mile in width at the top, and narrows to a deep channel but 200 feet wide for the dashing Yellowstone River at the bottom—a river which, though of no mean size, appears like a winding silver ribbon from the canyon's brink. This river leaps over steep precipices in two places, at Upper and Lower Falls, churning the water in the descent into snowy whitesness. The Lower Falls are 360 feet high, and as far as their setting in the surrounding scenery goes, far surpass Niagara, and the volume of water within similar limits of width, is as great. We climbed down, an almost perpendicular climb of a quarter of a mile, to the foot of Lower Falls. Half way down we found a huge snow-drift with a cave thawed out in one place, so that our guide told us when we went in that we were standing under eight feet of snow on the 8th of July. This is the only possible place to descend into the canyon and it is a very hard climb. We cut by no keel but then upon whose vast expanse they sit other sail but theirs the presence albatross following the ship day became a great source of coarse and companionship. So it came to belief that ill luck would follow one who killed one of these birds that belief is common among men of this very day. Colle famous Rhyme of the Ancient user is based upon this belief. Though the superstition about killing of an albatross bringing luck is only affoolish one, it has a useful purpose for many years preventing the slaughter of these tiful and gallant birds—the friends and the landsmen's work. Up in dreary Kamchatka, that ing part of Siberia which cuts in north Pacific, the natives, never heard of the superstition about albatross, catch him and eat him his flesh makes such poor food after all, the legend may be so hold good, for one is indeed in bad who has to make a meal of Washington Post.

His ideal insensibly becomes that of doing as little as he can, of striving to reproduce on his own plane his employer's mode of life and of regarding work as an unpalatable interruption of the real business of existence.

At a depth of nine feet underground at the old Roman fort of Alliso, near Haltern, the surface of which was proved to have remained undisturbed since the Roman occupation, fifty-four fragments of various clay pipes were found. Their shape was almost uniform, and they could be divided into three groups, one of which was characterized by clumsy and very rough workmanship. The other groups were of much finer make and decorated with figures and Roman characters. From marks found on all of them it was evident that they had been used for smoking.—London Standard.

Hutchinson's drug store FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Wonderful Flights and Some Odd Beliefs About the Bird. All the strange creatures seen by birds not the least interesting is wandering albatross. This great wanderer sometimes measures seventeen feet from tip to tip of wings, will follow a ship for days at time. Some travelers and sailors are that they have seen a particular bird fly for weeks at a time with ever being seen to alight upon the sea. Not merely follows the ship, but birds in great circles around it and it, high in the air, as if to show it is not tired. Sometimes they will be seen to hang in the air its wings apparently motionless. The sailors say that then it is up. Only in pleasant weather will the cross follow a ship for days and nights, but through the most terrific winds it will continue its untiring flight. In fact, to find an albatrosswise than on the wing is like digging a weasel's sleep. Once a year the female albatross files a few thousand miles to the lonely island rock of Tristan da Cunha, which lifts its desolate head on the south Atlantic, or to some remote place, and there lays egg in the hollow of a rock. The albatross has always been a bird mystery, and in ancient times the believed that these unwearying birds were the companions of the black warrior Diomedes, who were to have been changed into birds at death of their chief. When America was discovered and began to sail abroad to the Pacific, to double the Cape of Good Hope and to explore the "seven seas" originally, the old belief about the albatross had been forgotten by the sailors and explorers, but in their long and some voyages over waters which cut by no keel but their own and whose vast expanse they saw no sail but theirs the presence of the cross following the ship day after became a great source of comfort companionship. So it came to be a fact that ill luck would follow any who killed one of these birds, and the belief is common among seafarers of this very day. Coleridge's famous Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner is based upon this belief. Though the superstition about the king of an albatross bringing bad luck is only all foolish one, it has served useful purpose for many years in inventing the slaughter of these beautiful birds, the sailors. IRVING NO POLITICIAN. Surprise of the Author at Receiving a Public Position. President Andrew Jackson in 1829 appointed Washington Irving secretary of the American legation at London. This yielded a salary of $2,500. Irving was at the Alhambra in Spain when Colonel Thomas Aspinwall, United States consul at London, sent him official advice of his appointment. Irving replied in the following letter: Alhambra, July 22, 1829. My Dear Colonel-I have just been surprised by tidings of my appointment as secretary of legation at London, an office as unexpected as unasked for by me as that of pope at Rome. It has been equally unsolicited by my friends. I confess I have felt great repugnance to enter into the business and bustle of the world and to lay myself under any restraint or responsibility. An offer like this breaks in upon the quiet, retired literary life in which I have so long indulged. My brothers and my intimate friends, however, are unanimous in urging me to accept, and I have complied with their wishes. I shall disengage myself, therefore, as soon as possible from my occupations and engagements in Spain and push for London as rapidly as the hot weather will permit. I hope to eat an English beefsteak with you toward the end of August. You need not address any more letters to me to Spain after the receipt of this.

The villagers who entertain the stranger in their houses naturally enough expect him to talk to them, for thus only can he give them the return they anticipate for their hospitality. As a general rule they will accept no renumeration for the food and shelter they give, but they do expect payment for the feed of the animals. The conversation one has to carry on with the host and the other villagers who drop in to see and pay their respects to the stranger is entertaining and even amusing as long as one is a novice in the country, because it is nonsophisticated prattle, such as one must have heard in Europe in the middle ages. One unfailing topic is the rotationality of the world, the negative side of the question being always defended. They cannot believe that the sun remains stationary, for why should they disregard the evidence of their own eyes, which shows them that it does move across the vault of heaven?

He it is who orders the supplies for the voyage, has a minute knowledge of what the storerooms and refrigerators contain and soes that the menu for each meal is ample, well cooked and daintily served. He makes arrangements in port for the entire trip, plans each day's meals at sea and with the assistance of the chief cook gets up the menu card. You will find him mornings in his office, just off the grand staircase, making up his books and records, but during the rest of the day he is all over the ship, now taking a look at the storerooms far below to see that groceries and provisions are rightly served out to the cooks, now inspecting the refrigerators to note the temperature and again watching the butchers with precise knowledge of how meats shall be cut and seeing that they are delivered to the cooks on time and in the right quantities. All these things he is responsible for. But that is by no means all.

Healthy digestion means pure blood for the body, but stomach troubles arise from carelessness in eating and stomach disorders upset the entire system.

It frees the stomach and bowels of congested matter and gives the stomach new life.

Blamed It on the Mountain Air. A new guest arrived at a New Hampshire farmhouse where a Boston gentleman happened to be holding forth on the plaza. The newcomer was much impressed by the speaker's fluency. "I declare," he remarked to the landlord, "that man has an extensive vocabulary, hasn't he?" The landlord was mightily pleased. "That's so," he said. "That's what mountain air will do for a man. He ain't been boardin' with pie but two weeks, and I know he must have let his waistband out much as four times."—Rochester Herald.

The Only Celery Food The only food in which celery forms an important part—its nourishing qualities of a marked character. It acts admirably upon the nervous system—recommended for wakefulness, rheumatism and neuralgia. DR. PRICE'S WHEAT FLAKE CELERY FOOD Celery one of its principal ingredients, it helps to regulate the bowels; a restorative in debility of the digestive organs and has a direct effect upon the kidneys. It's a food—not a medicine. Palatable—Nutritious—Easy of Digestion and Ready to Eat 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. 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 .2388 599,436 Riverside .2340 427,097 San Bernardino .2350 219,132 San Diego .2398 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 .88,644 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, 388; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055; and that of San Diego, 840 square miles. AN OFFER DECLINED. Attempt of the Tweed Ring to Bribe Nast, the Cartoonist. A lawyer friend one day intimated to Nast that in appreciation of his great work a party of rich men wished to send him abroad and give him a chance to study art under the world's masters. The friend was probably innocent enough, an unconscious tool of the ring. Nast said very little except that he appreciated the offer and would be delighted to go but for the fact that he had important business just then in New York. He fancied that he detected the far, faint odor of a mouse under the idea, but he did not mention this to his friend. On the following Sunday an officer of the Broadway bank where the ring kept its accounts came out to Morristown to see Nast. He talked of a number of things. Then he said: "I hear you have been made an offer to go abroad for art study." "Yes," nodded Nast, "but I can't go. I haven't time." "But they will pay you for your time. I have reason to believe you could get $100,000 for the trip." Nast pondered a moment, then: "Don't you think I can get $200,000?" "I do. I believe from what I have heard in the bank that you could get it. You have a great talent, but you need study and you need rest. Besides, this ring business will get you into trouble. They own all the judges and jurors and can get you locked up for libel. My advice is to take the money and get away." Nast looked out into the street and perhaps wondered what $200,000 would do for him. It would pay the mortgage on the house in the city. It would give him years of study abroad. It would make him comfortable for life. Presently he said: "Don't you think I could get $500,000 to make that trip?" The bank official scarcely hesitated. "You can. You can get $500,000 in gold to drop this ring business and get out of the country." Nast laughed a little. He had played the game far enough. "Well, I don't think I'll do it," he said. "I made up my mind a long time ago to put some of those fellows behind the bars, and I'm going to put..." 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 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, 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 belaued 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. A Night of Terror "Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burnham of Machias. Me., when the doctors said she would die from pneumonia, before morning," writes Mrs. S. H. Lincoln, who attended her that fearful night, "that she begged for Dr. King's New Discovery, which had more than once saved her life and cured her of consumption. After taking, she slept all night. Further use entirely cured her." This marvelous medicine is guaranteed to cure all throat, chest and lung diseases. Only 50c and $1. Trial bottles free at Hutchinson's.
