What is known as the West Side in
San Joaquin valley suffers more than
any other grain-raising section of the
state from lack of rains, and, as the
saying goes, only one year in three
produces a crop. Not long since a
celebrated case came up for trial in
Fresno, and the lawyers were exam
ining jurors. Onfe, whom we shall
call George Jones, was in the box
being question’ d before he would be
permitted to serve on the jury.
AmoDg other questions the lawyer
asked Mr. Jones where he lived.
“Over on the West Side, about six or
seven miles from Firebaugh,” was the
response. “Yes,” said the lawyer;
“farmer. I suppose?" “I dunno,” an
swered Jones, “X plow and sow.”
A Wooden* !.egged Pet.
A dog with a wooden leg is one oi
the curiosities of Waverl.v, Md. It is
a pug dog belonging to John Eccleson
of Brady avenue. The dog lost part
of his foreleg while investigating the
mysteries of an electric car. Mr. Eo
cleson, measured carefully the length
of the dog’s leg and made a stick to
fit the stump. The dog has become
accustomed to the strange appendage
and runs about as easily and as natur
ally as his more fortunate canine
friends.

A severe rheumatic pain in the left
shoulder had troubled Mr. J. H. Loper,
a well-known druggist of Dee Moines,
Iowa, for over b!x months. At times
the pain was so severe that he could not
lift anything. With all he could do he
could not get rid of it until he applied
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. “I only
made three applications of it,” he says,
"and have since been free from all
pain.” He now recommends it to per
sons similarly afflicted. For sale by
P. C. Cobbioan, Druggist.
"Perhaps you would not think so, but
a very large proportion of the diseases
in New York comes from carelessness
about catching cold,” says Dr. Cyrus
Edson. “It is such a simple thnig and
so common that very few people, unless
it was a case of pneumonia, pay any at
tention to a cold. There are a great
many cases of catarrh and consumption
which have their origin in this neglet of
the simplest precaution of every day
life. The most sensible advice is, when
you have one, get rid of it as soon as
possible. By all means do not neglect
it. ’ Dr. Edson does not tell you how to
cure a cold but we will. Take Chamber
lain’s Cough Remedy. It will relieve
the lungs, aid expectoration, open the
secretions and soon effect a permanent
cure. 35 and 50 cent bottles for sale by
P. C. Corbbigax, Druggist.
EMBARRASSING,
fMlnanl In Which the tharch-Qou
Found Himself.
Anybody teeing the major coming
down the middle niele of t Sunday
morning, with his erect form, his
semi-militsry frock coat tightly but
toned, his rubicund countenance
actually emitting rays of red light,
would never have imagined him to
have passed the meridian of life more
than twenty years ago, and people
said, "he is well preserved."
But the secret of the major's foun
tain of youth was his hair. It was
not his own, but it was so black and
glossy, so well curled, and looked so
virile, that the major thought nobody
ever imagined it was a wig.
So, as he sat in his pew on this par
ticular Sunday morning, the sun
lights turning his Bbining looks yel
low and green and purple as it struck
through the colored windows, he was
supreme in the tranquility of his
youthful appearance and his decep
tive hair. One by one the elders
filed down the aisle and took up the
little collection boxes with their
long handles. Of course everyone
has seen these little arrangements
and how they are lifted from pew to
pew over the heads of the occupants.
As the pass was made in the case
of the major, the manipulator miscal
culated his distance, and, catching it
in the major's hair, passed it on to the
next scat, with the major’s wig
hanging to it.
Consternation seized the major, and
his sang froid completely deserted
him, and a suppressed giggle only
made matters worse.
Hastily arising, he made a grab for
his vanishing tresses, and with a spas
modic jerk he clapped it on his bald
pate, but the wrong end Joremost.
This was the last straw, and catching
up his hat he left, with more haste
than grace.
GLASS DECORATION.
New Process Discovered In Swltser'and
Which Produces Beautiful Result*.
Some beautiful effects in the orna
mentation of glass are now produced
by Gorlitz of Zurich, his method in
this kind of work being, it is claimed,
a decided Improvement in the art.
The design is first engraved on a
nrinilriM nlntn L L _!il s_
that is. in the same way as that in
which it will be afterward seen, and
the plate is coated then with varnish
color and pressed upon a glass plate;
the latter is strewed with bronze
powder, sheet aluminum, or other
suitable material, the portions form
ing' the design remaining empty,
and being, therefore transpar
ent. At this stage the glass
plate is placed in a frame having a
backing of strong paper board, on
the front of which is mounted a bril
liant Bheet of tinfoil or tin plate,
provided with prominent squares in
suitable positions. The design is
thus shown by a brilliant reflected
light through the transparent part of
the glass, its other portion forming a
backing stamped in relief.
Heretofore, raised enameled writ
ing and designs in relief on glass have
been produced by means of a brush
and thin enamel paint, but Gorlitz
uses stencil plates of tinfoil or other
flexible material and a glass powder
composition made up to the con
sistency of molasses, with turpentine
and “glaze.”
He Sent n Cipher Message to the Derelict.
A man who looked like a Texas
rankhman came into the Astor house
in New York the other day and aus
terely demanded of the young woman
who presides over the telegraph desk:
“Any objection to this message?” “1
don’t know what it means,” said she
doubtfully. “You don’t need to know
what it means. You just send it
along. That's a cipher message, that
is, and the man who gets it can read
it. ” The message went on the wire
to the great satisfaction of the sender,
who turned away with a grin. He
repeated the message later to a group
of men with manifest delight. It
read as follows: “Blank yoilr blankety
blank blank. Why don’t you ship
those steers?”
What H as the “Vinegar” Bible?
Very trifling blunders have some
times been enough to make an issue
of the bible famous. The issue of the
“Vinegar” bible is a case in point In
171.7 a printer named J. Baskett
printed a large folio bible in two vol
umes. In the head line of the twen
ueiu cnapwr ui inu pgspei ancoramg
to Saint Luke the word “Vinsgar”
appeared in mistake for “Vineyard,"
and the phrase ran, “The Parable of
the Vinegar.” It is odd that the error
occurs in another edition also issued
by Baskett about the same date.
A Complimentary Inquiry.
In the free kindergarten school for
colored children in a city is a cute,
wee tot, who frequently surprises his
teachers by asking the oddest kind of
questions. One of the teachers is a
young, petite blonde, with a delicate,
pale face. Recently the little chap
stood before her wonderingly. After
studying her countenance, he sud
denly asked: “Miss-, did Ood mix
you with milk?”
From the Japanese Point of View.
Japanese unused to visitors from
the Western world speak of
their “angry faces” because they do
not smile. Japanese children have
been known to run shrieking from an
American or English lady, frightened
by what seems to them her huge size,
fierce face, staring blue eyes and
white, uncanny skin.
Why Ho Was Thorn,
There was a look of great wonder
on the face of the professional humor
ist as he gazed at his nnbidden guest.
“I have only dropped in," the income
tax inspector smiled, as he leaned
•lightly forward, “to ask for a light"
«>«»>■•• mth Mansi* t.
Literary studonts in Paris now weai
muzzles when perusing the old books
in the National library, not because
there is fear they will bite the rare
volumes, but merely to prevent the
inhalation of the book microbes into
their lungs, Tho germ scare has
made men do many funny things, but
terror of the dust of ages has reached
the comical point when muzzles are
deemed necessary by librarians. As
the old woman sold, when her chil
dren remonstrated with her for some
imprudence. "Tut, tut, I’ll die when
my tlmo comes!”
'i Mows That Will Happen.
“You’re not a cousin or anything
like that of our fair hostess, are youP”
“No; nothing of that sort.”
“Well, did you over attend suoh a
stupid affair in your lifoP”
“Yo-os, a good many. I—I’m her

* olor of Ocean Union
The colors of pure ocean water are
diversified by the coloring effects of
the enormous multitudes of various
forms of organized life, which some
times mask the natural color of the
surface of the soa and tinge extensive
areas with remarkable colors.
Elmlori on Ooann Ston mors.
A new luxury is, it is said, to be ad
ded to ocean lines. In futpre they
will be fitted with “lifts.” Lifts are
used on board men-of-war fer the
conveyance of powder and shot from
the magazines to the guns, and why
not for the raising or lowering of
passengers between tho different
decks of a steam-ship? There is much
need of this innovation on ocean ships,
where a certain proportion of the
passengers are always more or less
weak and languid, either from sea or
land sickness.
Hid In • Chut.
Charley Leannarda, aged 0, of Hy
attsvllle, Md., hid in a chest at play
and the lid fastened with a Bpring
lock. Other children yelled. A serv
ant came, and thinking from their
gestures that the chest was on fire,
was just throwing it out of a third
story window when the boy’s father
interfered. The boy was nearly suffo
cated. _
A Genuine Glad'tone Kuthuftlait.
Once Mr. Gladstone had been oub
ting down a tree in the presence of a
large concourse of people, including
a number of "cheap trippers." When
the tree had fallen and the prime
minister and some of his family who
were with him were moving away,
there was a rush for the chips. One
of the trippers secured a big piece and
exclnimed: “Hey, lads, when I dee
this shall go in my coffin!” Then
cried his wife, a shrewd, motherly
old woman, with a merry twinkle in
her eye, “Sam, my lad, if thou'd wor
ship God as thou worships Gladstone
thou’d stand a better chance of going
vhere thy chip wouldna burn!"
How He 1'lnyed It.
A Verdant maid-of-all-work at “our
boarding house” observing a fellow
boarder (a musician) playing his cor
net, gazed at him with much interest.
He finally asked her pleasantly why
she stared at him so. “Axing yer
pardon, sir,” she answered, “the
missis tould me ye played the coornet

Advice to Sly Boy.
What’s that you say, my boy?
'The teacher says you are as sharp
as a needle?
Well, probably she meant to com
pliment you, my boy—I have no doubt
she did—but remember that, needles
always go into things with their eyes
closed. You don’t want to be like
that.
Now there’s the pin. The pin has a
head, you will notice, which prevents
U going in too far.
Be like the pin, my boy.
All Fours,
A well-known horseman has dis
covered a fact in natural history
which may not be generally known.
It is that all four- footed beasts, in
making the first movement in walk
ing, running, or any sort of forward
motion, always employ the left hind
leg as a starter. Even a child if put
down on all fours and bidden to ad
vance in that position, will make the
first move with his left leg, his hands
at the time occupying the place of an
animal’s forelegs
The clerk in the dry-goods store
was going along the street when he
encountered a mob of rushing, howl
ing men and boys. They passed over
him and some time after he dragged
what was left of himself and his
clothes out onto the curb. “Gracious
me!" he exclaimed, wiping the dirt
out of his eyes, “that reminds me oi
the rush during Christmas shopping
