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. Drew the Line.

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.

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 by ear; an' shure ye don’t, but wid yer mouth, loilte any other dacint Christian, ___________ 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 days’* Dr. Price’sCroam Baking Powder World’s Fair Highest Award.
