jed them a check for even thirty

every day in the week except Sat-
urday, the wa:ehouses should be
as crowded as they were Friday
with tobacco that he could con-
tinue to buy just as much as he
did on that day, that his orders
~for tobacco are unlimited and

much to buy every day. If the

Her Achievement in California as

The River of Helioctrope in the Town of
San Buenaventura " Mrs. Theo-
dosia Shepherd"A Petunia
Expert.
Upon the old mission town of San
Buenaventura there has dropped
down a charming little bit of Al-
truria, says the San Francisco Ex-
aminer. |
On the main business street"in-
deed, but a stonéeTs throw from the
bustle of the shops"a river of helio-
' trope, in effect, breaks at your feet.
- For the width of @ block the lux-
uriant mass of.greenery and flowers
climbs a low stone wall and tumbles
to the pavement several feet below.
All the air is full of fragrance, and
the prodigality of blossoms tempts
many trespassing fingers; and if the
passersby looks longingly and hesi-
tates, he is sure to be informed that
othe flowers are planted that they
~May be freely picked.�
The schoolboys gather bouquets
ofor teacher,� and, returning,
gather flowers again ~~for mother.�
Fragrance for all the river of
heliotrope furnishes, and grows only
richer by its generosity, so that it
is haunted by humming birds, be-
loved of bees.
Beyond the heliotrope and behind
the ranks of tall white lilies that
flank it lives Mrs. Theodosia Shep-
herd, the guardian of the flowers.
She is a most unpretentious and in-
dustrious little lady, tending her
flowers, first of all, for love of them.
Coming to California an invalid,
upward of twenty years ago, Mrs.
Shepherd played with her flowers
at first for health and pleasure. The
delight of watching flowers grow
and multiply in a half-tropical land
grew. Mrs. Shepherd had been able
to beat 8 path for women. In her
busy life, devoted first of all to pro-
viding love and sympathy for hus-
band and children, there has been
room for much besides the cultiva-
tion of her flowers and the sending
of bulbs and seeds to lands near at
hand and beyond seas. She has
taken an active part in slubs and so-
eieties of all sorts for culture and
progress.
Mrs. Shepherd goes on earnestly | Lard
_ preaching that there is a field and a
» livelihood in the culture of flowers
for many women, if they will but
~engage in it with earnestness and
patience. A neighbor in Ventura-
- By-the-Sea who was, like Mrs. Shep-
Maule Stal
berd bdfself. a@ from derot-
ing herself to fidoor pufsiits from
ill health, took up the hybridizing of
some of the common garden flowers,
under the instruction of the more ex-
perienced work woman, and has made
so thorough a success of it that she
has acquired gn almost world wide
reputation as a ~~petunia expert.�
This enterprising iittle worker sold
}all her seed the second year to a
prominent eastern seedsman, who
gave the flowers the name of the
~Giants of Califorpia.�T
ChinaTs Trade Statistics.
ChinaTs foreign trade in 1894
amounted to 290,207,433 taels, as
compared with 267,995,180 taels in
1893, and 257,687,723 in 1892, ac-
cording to the recently published
report of the Chinese maritime cus-
toms, theexchange value of a tael
varying from 76% cents to 64% cents
during the year. The imports were
162,102,911 taels, and the exports
128,104,522. A smaller quantity of
opium was imported than in any of
the 20 last years, but its value
was higher. Thechief causes of dix-
turbance, apart from the change in
the value of silver, were the serious
drought in the south during the
spring and the plaguein Hong Kong,
the war with Japan having had no
effect till this year. One hundred
and thirty-three million taels of the
trade was with Hong Kong, 44 with
Great Britain direct, 26 with the
United States, 25 with the rest of
Europe, except Russia, 22 with
India and 18 with Japan. Woo! is
becoming an important staple of ex-
port, while gold in bars ranked vext
to tea and silk. The governmentTs
revenue from customs was 22,523,-
600 taels."Philadelphia Record.
The MuleTs Misfortune.
An old darky lived in the south
who was a great barterer, and it
was very hard to beat him on a
trade. It seems he had sold a mule,
guaranteeing him faultiess. The
purchaser shortly after came back in
@ great rage, and said:
~*Look here, you rascal, that mule
you sold me is blind in one eye; you
assured me he had no faults.�
~*DatTs right, sah; dat mule habe
no faults. Ifhe am biind in one eye,
dat am his misfortune, not his
fault.�"HarperTs Round Table

MANY LAWSUITS.
Citizens of the United States Are
Great Litigante.
More Civil Cases Are Brought Before the
Courts Here Than in Any Other
Country in the World"Rea-
eens for This.
A man of ingenious mind and ap-
parently ample leisure has gone to
the trouble of figuring out the num-
ber of lawsuits brought in each coun-
try in a year and he has reached the
conclusion that the United States is
a better country for attorneys and
counselors than any other civilized
land under the sun, says the New
York Sun. He figures as lawsuits
eivil actions only, taking into no ac-
count proceedings of a criminal char-
acter brought by the public author-
ities against individuals. He has
ascertained that, taking the figures
tur the last ten years as a fair aver-
iyre, there are 1,250,000 lawsuits
Lrought in England every year, 750,-
0)0 in France, 1,400,000 in Ltaly,
3.300,000 in Germany and 5,500,000
in the United States.
Itis not to beinferred from this
that the people of one country are
much more prone to litigation than
are the people of another, but the
explanation is to be found in the fact
that the conditions of litigation vary
exceedingly. Going to law in Eug-
land is very expensive business, for
it entails outlays in the form of costs
and expenses so large that many of
the courts are practically closed to
persons of modest means and a long
litigation unsuccessfully pursued
ends often in bankruptcy. In France
the number of lawsuits is kept down!
through the general practice of ~~ar-|
bitration,T�T as many as -100,000 cases |
in a year, especially those arising:
from disputes over wages, being set-|
tled by this agency without onerous)
cost to either party. In Germany a
great majority of cases are petty:
ones, involving a small amount of)
money and due, many of them, to.
customs or usages which are not.
sufficiently defined to be, in all!
cases, similarly understood by both!
parties to an agreement. This is.
especially the case in the farming
districts of Germany «nd there are
many legal disputes in the manufac-
turing districts, too.
The number of cases credited to the
United States seems enormous, but
it is probably accurate. There are,
for example, eleven district courts
)) for the disposal of civil cases in New
York city. In oneof these courts,
by recent report, the number of ac-
tions brought in @ year was shown
to be 9,100. These courts have be-
fore them each yearon the average
75,000 cases. The cases brought in
the state courts of New York amount
in a@ year to_ about 150,000, and of
those brought in the federal courts
New York furnishes a very large
Class Work. 3) sane Taking the whole country
tnrougn it 18 seéh that the oaverage!
number of cases per thousand of
population is in the neighborhood of
74 to 85. The number of lawyers in
the United States is materially
larger than in other country in the
world, and the amounts in dispute
here are much greater than else
where. )

The Jersey f Mosquito.
In the town oof f Quantuck, N. J.,
which lies in aiow, hot nook, sur-
rounded by swampy land, the mos-
quitoes have been so thick this
Season that, when the breeze is
gentle, they form a thick black cloud
over the town. On several occasions
of late this has been so noticeable
that the hens have gone to roost at
noon, under the impression that it
was already nightfall, and without
performing their daily task of egg-
laying. As the poultry business isa
leading one in the town, fanciers
suffered for a time considerable
financial loss, until the device was
hit upon of sending up small dyna-
mite cartridges among tbe thickest
swarms of mosquitoes, by means of
a kite flown bya wire, which, at the
right moment, conveys a current of
electricity to discharge the dyna-
mite. After a few discharges the
air is socleared that the hens can
resume operations, and the gary
remains of the dead mosquitess,
falling to the ground, are plowed as
fertilizers "N. Y: Recorder.
