Nature in a Forest When you wander through a forest you feel what the scientists called "the sacred horror of the woods," you understand that mystery surrounds you, and in the undefined shades spectres float whose outlines you dare not fix. It seems as if you were intruding upon and disturbing the solitude, and that at your approach some one had retired. The trees, plants and flowers appear to change the subject of their conversation, as it is done in a drawing-room when an intimate chit-chat is interrupted by some unwelcome visitor. Perhaps you were on the point of detecting nature's secret, which man seeks to unravel; but were you to tread as light as that of a red Indian in his moccasins, your foot has moved a stone, made some grass rustle and dewdrops fall from a wild flower. All at once a little bird darts away and goes to inform the old oaks of the approach of an enemy. The forest is circumspect, and says only insignificant things; the flowers fold up their corolas and the singers are hushed. For a while life seems to be arrested; after a little time, when you are found to be a harmless dreamer, a poet incapable of those useless murders so remorselessly committed by sportsmen, all that timid world is reassured. The trees talk with the wind; the birds, resuming their prattlings, hop from branch to branch; the guats recommence their waltzes in the luminous streaks of light wherein their balls are given, and nature attends to the nature avalanche carries away a few grains of sand; a quivering of the wings of an or of a bird rapidly lashes to an acorn breaks from its bounds from leaf to leaf, and upon the earth with a dull something goes by, producing noise among the bird jabbers, a squirrel squeak climbing a tree, and the wood with a beat regular as a pen strikes the bark of the elms to out the little beetles on we feeds. The wind sweeps over the forests, producing undue which roll like waves on the give out low moanings which be taken for the distant roar ocean. In all these inarticulate it seems as though were heard to breathe. How ant it is to abide there for hours, forgetting all the little bles of civilization, allowing self to be penetrated by the of things and impregnated with life that is around us, in the world of nature like repose in the sea. — A Farmer. State School Census Riverside Press. The Press is indebted to Superintendent Hyatt for a complete school census from all the counties of the total number of children in the entire state, between 5 and 435,405. This is an apparent 5512, but as Mr. Hyatt explains letter to the Press, this is no harmless dreamer, a poet incapable of those useless murders so remorselessly committed by sportsmen, all that timid world is reassured. The trees talk with the wind; the birds, resuming their prattlings, hop from branch to branch; the guats recommence their waltzes in the luminous streaks of light wherein their balls are given, and nature attends to the little affairs exactly as if you were not there. Sit down, like Tityrus, the Virgilian shepherd, under the canopy of a spreading beech tree, and look at that delightful chaos of vegetation, the thousand details of which are brought out by the sun. Here the holly exhibits its indented prickly leaves; there, in the bright sunbeams the fern spreads its flexible stalk, furnished with little leaves dotted with stigmas which in the spring become the flowers; you might think they were palms; indeed, in the tropics the fern has the appearance and size of the palm tree—they rise to a height of more than forty feet. Between the ferns and hollies, berbs and grasses and little flowers are crowded together, and at their feet the mosses spread softly in green or brown patches. From all these plants, warmed by the sun, perfumes arise and spread in the air—as from a sachet. Intoxicated with these odors the insects hum and fly about with unusual activity. The tipula, or daddy-long-legs, flutters round the oaks; the cantharis, a brilliant emerald, glitters like a point of green gold on the silvery bark of the birch; the ant, nimbly plying his delicate feelers, makes its way through the grass; the cicindela that messenger with the green livery, hovers in front of the lounger, while the stag-beetle—the rhinoceros of insects—caparisoned with its heavy black armor, runs over the warm sand in quest of its prey. To him who comes from a noisy town, where human clamor never ceases, Riverside Press. The Press is indebted to Superintendent Hyatt for a complete school census from all the counties of the total number of children the entire state, between 5 and 435,405. This is an apparent 5512, but as Mr. Hyatt explains letter to the Press, this is no loss. Last year no census was in San Francisco. An estimate made based upon the census previous year and it was reckoned at the time that it was probably high, San Francisco's loss of 25,000 children therefore represents the loss of population to the earthquake and first year the state reported a 21,571 children over the year, without doubt too hideure. Deducting the loss we have a total gain of 16,052 two years, an average of one year. This represents a population of from 30,000 per year, which is very tory. The counties showing a as follows: County Census 1998 Alameda 48,689 Butte 5,488 Calaveras 2,611 Contra Costa 5,996 Fresno 13,763 Inyo 978 Kern 4,370 Los Angeles 82,222 Marin 4,400 Merced 3,000 Modoc 1,355 Monterey 5,044 Napa 3,494 Orange 7,110 Plumas 900 Riverside 5,799 Sacramento 10,260 San Berdnardino 9,689 San Diego 10,222 San Joaquin 8,511 San Mateo 4,344 Santa Clara 17,433 Santa Cruz 5,833 Shasta 3,866 plying his delicate feelers, makes its way through the grass; the cicindela that messenger with the green livery, hovers in front of the lounger, while the stag-beetle—the rhinoceros of insects—caparisoned with its heavy black armor, runs over the warm sand in quest of its prey. To him who comes from a noisy town, where human clamor never ceases, the silence at first seems deep. Little by little the ear becomes accustomed to it and discerns a thousand little noises which at first were unnoticed, and these are the voices of solitude. The restless leaf is always shivering and rustling, like a silk dress; invisible water isrippling over the grass; a branch, tired of being so long in the same attitude, rises abruptly and makes its joints crack, as if stretching itself; a stone, losing its equilibrium or moved by an insect, rolls down a slope, and this minia- That hacking cough continues Because your system is exhausted and your powers of resistance weakened.

The Wizard of Plant Life Luther Burbank has attracted a vast amount of attention because he has attempted and to a considerable extent succeeded in doing something quite novel, at least in this country, says the Technical World Magazine.

"He is breeding up plant, fruit and vegetable life. He is the god-father of the sugar prune, a giant in comparison to its ancestors, the French prune, of which California produced 150,000,000 pounds of the dried product in a year. The sugar prune ripens earlier and is of immense commercial value. Burbank is also the maker of the seedless plum, which he accomplished by crossing two varieties of the pruns trifora. The white blackberry is another of the wizard of horticulture's triumphs. Sixty-five thousand bushes were used in the tests before he developed this phenomena. He has given to the arid deserts a new species of grass which will grow on the plains without water. He converted the cactus into an edible plant. The wild potato of South America also received his attention. From a single eye of this potato he developed one hundred and twenty hybridizations and grew a large tuber of good quality. Mr. Burbank has made endless experiments with the potato. He keeps on his farm at Santa Rosa no less than 10,000 varieties for experimental purposes. He has grown potatoes of every shape and color, round, long, square, pure white, pink, crimson, purple, and shipped all over the world. The late Cecil Rhodes planted 10,000 of his seedless plum trees in South Africa, until now they have multiplied into the millions." Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
