Baldwin & Howell announce that the name of Parnassus Heights has been se- lected for the property heretofore known s the Byfleld Tract, lving between the Affiljated Colleges and Golden Gate Park, east of Seventh avenue. For nearly twelve months past a large force has | been at work under the supervision of the San Francisco Construction Company, grading the property and constructing sewers. The work has now reached a point which justifics the agents. Bald- in & Howell. in announcing that in the early part of May the first offering of lots will be made. One hundred lots will be offered at public auction. The remain- der, consisting of about six hundred lots, will be disposed of at private sale. The rndicate which acquired the land through aldwin & Howell from the Sutro estate for $361.000 about one year ago bought with the intention of disposing of it in small subdivisions, but the announcement was made at the time of the purchase that no lots would be offered for sale un- til they were placed upon the official grade of the surrounding streets and until after all the street work had been’com- pleted. This promise is being more than fulfilled, although the cost is greater than was anticipated and the time within which the work will be finished be longer than was expectéd. The work includes a main sewer for house drainage, another one for surface water, and a con- nection at each lot under the sidewalk ready to tap. Every street will be paved with bitumen except where the grades are too steep, In which cases basalt blocks will be used. The curbs will be of granite. Artificlal stone sidewalks will be lald six feet in width, leaving a space for grass or shrubs on each side. The pres- ent owners will plant palms along the sldewalks as late as this season will per- mit and will agree to continue the plant- ing next season. Gas and water mains are being lald and a separate pipe will be extended to the property line in front of every lot. Baldwin & Howell will be the exclusive agents for the property. The office buflding, which they are now con- structing at the southeast corner of H street and Seventh avenue, will be one of the most unique and artistic structures in | the State. The office will be completed about May 1, when there will be a house warming and a reception to the residents of the Sunset District. Property in the Richmond District has been much sought after of late. As an instance of this, within the Bay District Tract over ninety lots have been sold by Lyon & Hoag recently. A still more re- markable showing has been made by the same firm in the block offered by them less than sixty days ago on Lake, Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh ave- nues. This property included forty-three bullding lots, ranging in prices from $450 to $500 u lot. Out of the forty-three lots thirty-five have been sold within less than sixty days. AUCTION OFFERINGS.

They correspond somewhat to the pet “‘potato patch” hobby of the lat Governor Pingree of Michigan and to the futile efforts made by the Salvation Army to introduce truck farms for the poor of great citles on public or private vacant lots of unsubdivided lands. Attempts of this kind have been made in Detroit, Chi- cago and other large American Eut the idea ‘has been nowhere so su cessfully and happlily developed as in the suburbs of Berlin. Originally the “laubenkolonien” was an ldea launched by the charity assoclation of Berlin, which is an auxiliary of the municipal government and supported by a special fund reserved from the tax rev- enues. But the enterprise soon outgrew the bounds contemplated by the charita. | ble association. All the public or city lands were devoted to these ‘‘potato | pateh” settiements, and still there was clamor for more. Consequently private companies were formed with promoters to stake out vacant unsubdivided land near Beriin, and which was leased to families wishing to join the “laubenkolonien.” For each family a certain number of acres were staked off, and a board fence pre- vented disputes about usurpation of prop- erty. A well was sunk In each plat, and that formed the tucleus of a family set- tiement. Upon this plat of ground the family constructed a summer mansion according to their own ability and tastes, They dubbed these mansions with charm- ing titles, as the wealthy Counts, Barons, gehelmraths and financlers who occupled the costly villas in Grunswald and Potsdam styled their homes. They painted across the tops of the entrances the gnames, ‘“Zillerthal,” “Emma’'s De- light,” “Willlams Heights,” *“Rocen Villa' and other similar nam: Flower beds were planted. trained so as to cover completely the small huts, the fences and pavilions. To show their gratitude and loyalty to fath- erland flagpoles were erected in the front yards, with the black and white emblem fluttering high up in the air.—Brookiyn Eagle. sold by Baldwin & Howell, were as fol- | lows: Northwest corner of Bryant and | Langton streets, 30 by 80 feet, $6600; lot 2 by 80 feet on the west line of Langton street, 105 feet north from Bryant, $1300; lot in the Gaskill Tract, Oakland, $550. THE STORY OF POPULAR EAU DE COLOGNE Invented 200 Years Ago by Giovan Maria Farina, an Italian Priest. { How many of those who use eau de cologne dafly, one might almost say hour- | Iy, are aware of the fact that it was invented by an Italian, and not by a son of the fatherland which gives it name? Almost 200 years ago an Itallan priest, Glovan Maria Farina, whose name is seen on every authentic bottle, eked out his modest fortune by selling perfumery, lit- tle art obj and so op at Domodes- sola. In 1702, happening to be in Cologne and making use of some of the finest vegetable productions of the country, he discovered the secret of the miraculous perfume, which has never been revealed to this day, except to his descendants. He soon devoted himself to the sale of his invention, which was so satisfactory that, needing help in its manufacture he had his brother and nephew to join him from Italy. s The increasing fame of the water| brought Increasing difficulties of rivalry. New firms, who stole his name, his trade- marks, stamps and so on, sprang up Iike mushrooms, but they could not steal his | secret. The difficulty of the name they overcame by importing a peasant from Italy, who declared his name was Farina, The Pure Food Bill. The House of Representatives has pass- ! ed the pure food bill introduced by Hep- burn. It provides for preventing the adul- teration, misbranding and imitation of foods, beverages. candles, drugs and con- diments in the District of Columbia and the Territories and for regulating inter- state traffic therein. It directs the Sec- retary. of Agriculture to organize chemical division of his department into a bureau of chemistry to be charged with the inspection of food and drug products and directs, further, that the bureau shall from time to lime analyze samples of food and drugs offered for sale. Traf- | prohibited under penalty of a fine not ex- | ceeding $500 for the first offense and for | each subsequent offense not exceeding $300 or imprisonment not exceeding w: year, or both. il @ and made him head of the firm. One of the distinctive marks of the true Farina cologne are the words, “‘Opposite Julich Platz.” The spurious manufactories come as near as possible and put “near,” “next,” “behind.,” ‘“before’” Julich Platz, or “opposite” a platz with a somewhat similar name. These maneuvers, of course, in the lapse of vears have had their effect, so that half the cologne bought in the city of its birth is not made according to Glovan Marla’s recipes. In buying your cologne always look for “Opposite Julich Platz.” Those are the magic words which will enable you to breathe your cologne as the old priest intended, to the glory of his own fatherland and the enrichment of his adopted country.—Pall Mall Gazette.

The types he has portrayed are essentially the same as are found in any port visited by ocean going vessels in the civilized world. They are the types of old sailors on whose features and in whose manners there is the same impress of the dangers and hardships encountered in a seafaring life, whatever their nationality may be. The effect of hazy sunlight on the scene with the figures silhouetted against it is most admirably rendered. The picture which is the subject of this notice is exhibited at the Metropolitan Mu- seum in New York. Verdaguer Dionisio Baixeras was born at Barcelona. He received a medal of the third class at Madrid, 1884, an honorable mention for this picture at the Paris salon of 1886 and ¢ a gold medal at Barcelona, 1888. coes. . . . s + . + + ’ . *s ‘. . .
