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 stonée’s 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 “the flowers are planted that they ‘May be freely picked.” The schoolboys gather bouquets “for 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.”’ China’s Trade Statistics. China’s 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 government’s revenue from customs was 22,523,- 600 taels.—Philadelphia Record. The Mule’s 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.” ‘*Dat’s right, sah; dat mule habe no faults. Ifhe am biind in one eye, dat am his misfortune, not his fault.”—Harper’s Round Table Greenville Market. Corrected by S. M. Yehultz.

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,’”’ 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 “average! 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. ) adie The Jersey f Mosquito. In the town “of 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. J. F.
