It wasthe broader conception of religious and civil liberty which gave the Seer of Florence his vision; it was the vision of a free faith which cheered Luther. Holland was per- secuted—that was what made William the Silent. America inherited the rich resnits of great thiuking and great conflict. With our inheritance came hither, driven from Europe, God’s people, bringing God’s day, God's church and God's book, ‘the three pillars on which,’ as Professor Schaff said, ‘our Republic.is built.’ “Oh, when I reflect on the evils of the old order I ery out with Dayid, ‘I have a goodly heritage.” We ought to be thank- ful for golden harvests, for siowly return- ing commercial prosperity, for peace throughout our borders.

All Go to Show the Wouderful Recuper- ative Power of This Most Justly Cele- brated Medicine, ‘*Cupidene.”” It is known throughout the medical profes- sion that, as a'rule, medical men are like “fishermen’s wives,” they fall out “scientiti- cally.” They will get angry at each other and cut up one another in & mostscientific manner. Itis known to the entire medical fraternity that the physician who indorsed the use of qui- nine for ai’aying fevers was deemed “a mad- man.” So strocious wes he considered that the wives of some of the leading physicians of Paris would not speak to members of this phy- | sician’s family, who claimed that quinine was the best thing for the allaying of fevers. In 1830 France was at war, and her best sons | were dying in the hospitals at Algiers at the rate of 5000 per month, for the reason that the surgeons who treated these persons, suffer- ing from the fever which they contracted in Aigiers, “bied them.” Incisions were made in white. These fever-stricken people were at last treated by the other physicians, who, in- stead of bleeding them, gave them quinine, and the result was that instead of dying { in Algiers out of the same number of people in | the hospitals only one in & hundred aied. By 1860 the world began to tse quinine, and now, botanist, homeopathist, allopathist or electri- cian, each and every one in the different lines of school must use quinine, and the blood- suckers u1e out. In almost every instance where something new has been discovered by a leading physi- cian it takes a long time to_get the others 10 | believe it, and some of the leading physicians | of the world are now indorsing the celebrated | medicine, Cupidene, Dr. George Jerome Lathrop, one of the fore- most physicians of Los Angeles, writes tersely: “From & careful analysis made of the ingredi- ents which go to make up your wonderiul remedy, Cupidene, and from the constant use of this remedy in my private practice, I have no hesitation in saying it is the most remark- able remedy I know for the cure of nervous ox- haustion, prostatis and those uliarly deli- cate forms of d thet usually bafile the skill of the best physicians. Time and time again T have gone intomy laboratory disgusted with the remedies I have prepared for my pa tients; night after might haye 1 scarched through th= medical stores for the remedy that would do the work which Cupidene is now do- ing, and it is with pleasure that I indorse the remedy, Cupldene, for all nervous troubies.” il per bottle, 6 for $5.

Mr. Young's attorneys—M. M, Estee, ! C. W. Cross and James Alva Watt—have been working on his case for the last | shape to proceed against the incum- bent of the office, Madison Babeock, who was appointed by the Board of Edu- cation.

Young bas filed a bond in the sum of §10.000, which bas been approved by all the Judgzes of the Superior Court of San Francisco. James Alva Watt, one of Mr. Young’s attorneys, who has taken an active partin the proceedings, was seen last night in re- ard to the suit and said: ‘“There is no co, is very plain upon tke subject, “The question to be decided is whether the county government act supersedes the cons tion act, which regulates our City government and defines the rights and powers of the Superior Court and oth- er County offices. “The question has never been decided by the Supreme Court, and the determina- tion of it will affect many of the offic: other tiran that of the Superintendent of Schools, for if the county government act is held to be applicable to the City and County of San Francisco, the powers of the Board of Supervisors will be largely ! increased and that of other offices, par- ticularly the Board of Education, consider ably curtailed. “If the courts decide that the county government act is applicable to S8an Fran- | cisce then the oftice of Mayor in this City {and County will have to be abolished, as | there is no provision for it madein the | county government act, except by special | elections.” | Mr. Watt quoted a number_ of | graphs from section 4, article X1, o | county government act to sustain view ara- the his the attorneys for both parties are anxious to dispose of the matter at once, the- will endeavor to obtain a hearing as soon as possibl Mr. Babcock was appointed to the office | of Superintendent of Public Schools b; | Board of Education to fill the position left vacant by the death of A.

THE BIRTH CF THE STAG. When All the World Was Young and Happy. X Who shall presume, unless by rare chance he may bave assisted at the cere- mony, to-name the day and place of birth cfa wild red deer? asks Macmillan’s Mag- azine. Yet, if the knowledge of the ways of deer be not vain, and all experience of teeth and head and slot be notat fault, our conjecture will not tead us very far from the truth. So nhe came into the world, a downy-haired, white-spotted lit- tle red deer calf, with four rather long legs and two rather large ears, and looked around him with two great beautiful eyes, and saw his heritage of Exmoor before him, fold upon fotd of crass and heather, | with the shadows of the clouds coursing; | over it, bounded on the onc hand by the | | blue sky and on the other by the blue sea. A peaceful, happy world it must have seemed to him 1n those early months, | singularly full for the moment of heedless | { voung creatures like himself. Now he | would see an old vixea with her cubs (cubs can play, and hunting distracted beetles among the stones; now a sober old | gray hen, much cumbered with the cares | of maternity, watching anxiously over her brood of little pouits; now a bloodthirsty old weasel, with two couple of youns | weasels behind her, all hurrying forwar with little, short legs and long, lithe | bodies, on the line of ‘some hapless rabbit, | and speaking joyfully to the scent as they ran. Sometimes, when walking leisurely | among the purning stones on the sunny | combe side, his dam would back her ears and look fierce, and he would see the old mother viper open her hideous, wicked | jaws, and the little vipers rush down her | throat to their haven of refuge. Nay,even | when she took him with her to the brown peat stream the trout fry dashed away from the shadows before him, aad he could | watch them scurrying from stone to stone, half in fright and half in play. Forall the world was young in those days, and | all the young, except the trout, seemed to have a kind mother to look after them. OBEYED ORDER | Willing That His Eyes Should Be Ex- amined for Color Blindness. It is reported thata short time ago an | order was issued on one of the lines of the Pennsylvania Company for all section men to come to the office on & certain_day and | | have tneir eyes examined. The followin, | day a number of men appeared and passe ! the examination. Just before the man | | who had charge of the tests left the office | | & messenger-boy came hurrying in witha | small package neatly tied up and ad- dressed to the eye inspector. The latter | opened it and was surprised to find a glass | eye wrapped up in tissue paper and also an | old-fashioned silver watch. | The contents of the package proved a | puzzle to the inspector until he unfolded a | hastily scribbled note, which, on being de- | eiphered, was found to read as follows: “Oye Inspector—Dear Sir: Ti.e day before yesterday at nune I got word to cum down |and have me ise looked after for culur blindness as ye caH it.

A BUDDING GROVE OF GIANTS. Growing Hundreds of Sequoias to Rival Those of the Cala- veras Grove. There seems to be an impression that in Golden Gate Park but little attention is paid to the cultivation of those forest won- ders that have attracted the attention of travelers from all parts of the world, who have visited California. A visit to that unfrequented part of the park called the nursery, which is at the southeastern end of the main park and witnin sight of all around her playing merrily, as only fox | who take the broad-gauge to the CIiff, will | dispel that imprassion. This is a spot of several acres, where are propagated the various trees, shrubs and flowering plants that in time are trans- ferred to the park to delight the senses of sight and smell. There are bui few of the many thousands who visit the people’s pleasure ground and admire the many va- rieties of varihued flowers and the many them as they are, and they are few, in- deed, who give a thought-to the master mind that directs the preparation, growth and arrangement of that which is a thing of beauty and a joy while it lasts, for plants bloom to-day and die to-morrow | and have to be replaced by others of other if not of the same variety. The one who is entitled to the credit of having converted thousands of acres of sand dunes on which grew the wild lupin, the California boxwood, the fascinating but poisanous shrub called poison ook and the stunted scrub oak into a veritable aradise for the benefit of the massesis ohn McLaren, the superintendent, who besides being possessed of extraordinary executive ability, which enables him to direct the many matters that demand his attention, is an enthusiast as to arbor- culture and floriculture. “It has been my purpose,” said the superintendent a few days since, when seen in the nursery where he was giving | oraers as to the disposition of a number of | young trees that had just been received, “to have growing within the limits of the | park every kind of tree and flowering shrub that grows in the State, and with that idea in view 1 bave set out arboriums or places in which a collection of trees one of each kind is cultivated. This collection of trees that you see piled up here is one that has j been received from the high Sierras. They come from a point about 4000 feet above the level of the sea.” Turning to the foreman in charge of the nursery he gave directions as to the kind of soil in which these trees should be placed, and also as to protection from wind and sun. “They are hardy fellows,” said the superintendent, “‘but they require some attention in order to put them in condition for transplanting to points where they will grow to the height of for- est trees. in the open in which were vigorously growing hundreds of little trees, that, to ore uncultured in the art of tree growing, look like a mass of very small pines, “are a number of Sequoia gigantea, or the Cal- | ifornia big trees.”” The plants are but a few inches high, | but if, when they are transplanted and laid out as a forest, they snall grow up to California | Here,” and he pointed to a bed | will rival those of Calaveras, Mariposa and Felton. A number of individual speci- mens have been planted in different parts ot the park, nnd‘: as they have already at- tained a height of many feet, the adapta- bility of ihe growths to the San Francisco climate is no longer a problem, but an as- sured fact. ~ Inside of one of the-large hothouses the superintendent pointed to a fine collec- tion of young trees that are being prop gated forthe open air. This includes di ferent varieties of California oaks, many varieties of pine, specimens of the Calilo nia tree poppy, which produces an 1m mense white tiower with a yellow center. This blossom measures nearly a foot in diameter. There are specimens of the ta Californica or leather piant, a eriul native product named for the | hfinder, John C. Fremont, who first i brought it into notice; many varieties of | bardy and delicate ferns from Mound | Shasta and Sisson,in far North Siskiyou County; dozwood from the Sierrus that { produces a magnificent red flower that is i exceedingly attractive. “In time,” said Mr. McLaren, ‘‘there wili be found here every tree and foliage | that erows in the State of California; that is, such as will thrive in this climate.’” The nursery contans a grear variety of | strange growths that must prove very in- | tevesting to those who are admirers of the products of nature. There is to be seen | there a piant that comes from Kaffirland, and which has but one name, and thst is | mesembryanthemum, and it thrives with the silver tzee from Central Africa, that is also known as the satin tree. It basa | very fine fur-like coating that is as soft | and glossy as the finest satin, and in the sunlight shines like frosted silver. There | are beautiiul new palms from Australia, a ] dragon blood-tree from Teneriife, a Japa- | nese dwarf that is 400 vears old, night- | blooming * primroses, English holly, so | much prized on account of its symmetri- | cal dark-hued leaves and bright red berries | shaded foliages who ever give a moment’s | at Cliristmas time; tea plants from New | thought to the labor required to produce | Zealand, and other specimens that it would | take columns to name and describe. There is one plant that Mr. MecLaren is | cultivating with a view to producing a | pretty effect—thst is the Virginia creeper, | which in the fall assumes so many differ- | ent shades of red. It is his intention to | plant these uround some of the trees in | different parts of the park where they will attract most attention. ! Within the limits of the large arboriums | which are located, one north of the water | works and the other east of the cascade, | on Strawberry hill, there are specimens of | nearly every pine that is to found in | this State and all in bealthy growth. In | these are to be found trees of hke variety “ from the Alps, from Mexico, from adjoin- | ing States, and other specimens are bein, added to the number already under culti- vation. The cultivation of trees will not | be limited to these arboriums, but trees | will be set out for the purpose of enriching | the scenery of whatsome of the most noted | travelers have declared is the most beauti- | ful park site in the world, so by natureand | improved by art. Proper Bait and Its Good Effect. Colonel Falgerly is a good man, but he 1sn’t particnlarly fond of the church and | has a deep-seated distrust of men who run much in that direction. That was why he | conceived 2 prejudice against a young man | who began to cail at the house last spring | and why he told Maria that her mother | would never have had anything to do witn such a blamed milksop. A couple of weeks ago the colonel got back from the Northern lakes. After he bad told of the great fish he caught and | the advantages of the trip, he said: | “Mana, you remember that young chap rrfo?cnme here in the summer that I didn’t | like?" | Marie blushed and said, *“Yes, papa.” “Well, he ain’t such a chump as I | thought he was. I shall be glad to see him | any time he wants to come and I guess you'd better invite him to dinner to-mor- row night.” “Thank you, papa, but what made you change —?"’ “Never mind that, Maria; he was up | North, too, and we got acquainted.” And Maria forzot to mention tbat she Youres Truely, | the size of those that have excited somuch | had told George all abott the colonel's | comment, they will produce a grove that | tavorite brand oi bait.—Detroit News.
