Ewing & Heath’s Comedy Enterprise Company geve an acceptable performance Thursday evening to a good-sized audience. Miss Suits as ‘‘Cad the Tomboy’’ was of course the leading attraction, and she made a most favorable impression. She is good-looking, vivacious and a rather good singer and dancer. The company is made up of San Francisco people, among the more capable of whom are Miss Amy Roberts, Miss Eberle, Wilson Deal and A. H. Hallett. The play has a variety of good features both amusing and sensational, and could with adequate scenic effects be made really strong. For Friday evening :‘‘Widow Bedott’ with Horace Ewing (who did mot appear in ‘‘Cad’’) as hero was underscored. . The ‘‘ Widow” has been presented here but once and that was several years ago when Neil Burgess played: the. titulary role to the great satisfaction of everybody. Teachers’? Examination. The semi-annual examination of applicants for certificates to teach in the public schools of the county wil] begin at this city next Monday morning, as announced by the advertisement in another column.

Rolfe—The first storm of a winter cuts out the pace for that whole season. Ifit isa desultory,spasmodie storm that goes by fity and leis up by starts, an open winter will follow.

The Sotid Value For Frutt Raise ing Purposes. . Itis a common belief inthis State, that the immense area of timber land is good for nothing except for the lumber that may be produced therefrom. This is especially true of that portion which lies at an elevation where snow falls forsome portion of the winter seagon. It is true that a great deal of the timber region is too rugged, steep and rocky ever to amount to anything in an agricultural sense, But there are thousands of acres now §covered with standing timber, the soil of which is deep-and mellsw; and made up as it is of the decaying vegetation of ages, it is of a highly fertile character. In some of these localities where the timber has been removed, energetic men have demonstrated that for the production of apples, cherries, pears, potatoes, etc., the mountain soil is unrivalled. The mountain apples of California have a high reputation wherever they are known and seldom are allowed to reach the city market, so great is the local demand for tham. They are large and firm of flesh, jaicy, finely flavored—in a word, the. very perfection of what apples should be. The potatoes, too, which are grown in the mountains, areas goodas any that can be produced, and always command goo! prices. Thousands of acres of timber land in this State today, can be bought cheap and will amply repay in lumber for being cleared; while, when. the trees are removed the soil will be found valuable in the highest degreé for the produc: tion‘of crops. There are large areas, also, which have been denuded of their growth, and which are, consequently, regarded by their owners as practically worthless, These can be made as productive as the high-priced and much vaunted lands of the -valleys. The Biggést Christmas Tree. Signor Sonbogno, the enterprising and philanthropic editor of the Secola daily newspaper in Milan, got up two years ago a Christinas tree for the poor children-in that city, His success was go great that he was enabled to give a treat to 14,000 of them. Last year he undertook the same work, intimating that he wished 80,000, objects, in order to give 20,000 children under ten years of age four articles each—namely, an article of dress, a toy, a piece of sweetmeut and a piece of fruit, From the first day this intimation appeared inthe pages of his journal until the day before Christmas gifts for the tree” inmoney and kind poured in the wealthier families and shops in Milan, but from all parts of Italy, and even from Tripoliand far-off Massana. The Theatre Canobbiana was granted for the distribution of the gifts on Christmas day. A tree, a veritable giant mountain pine, fitted ‘‘to the mast of some great ammiral,’’ was set up on the stage, its top lost in the blue gauze sky. A family of smaller trees stood round and round .the theatre, which, with flowers, statues and fountains, was transported into a veritable paradise. Twenty-two thousand tickets, the gift of a Milanese printer, had been distributed among the poorest children in the town. At o'clock on Christmas morning the doors of the theatre were thrown open, and from that hour till 6 o’clock in the evening a continuous stream of children poured into the building.

The following will show why the year 1900 will not be counted among leap years: The year is 365 days, 5 hours and 49 minutes long; 11 minutes are taken every year tomake the year 86514 days long, and every fourth year we havean-extraday. This waa Julias® Cwsar’s arrangement. These 11 minutes come from the féture, and are paid by omitting a leap year every 100 years. But if a leap yeat is omitted regularly every 100 years, in the vourse of 400 years it ts found that the 11 miuotes taken each year will not only have béen paid back, but that’a whole day will have been given up, So Pope Gregory XII, who improved on Cresar’s calendar in 1582, decreed that every centurial year divisible by four should be a leap year after all. So we borrow 11 minutes each year, nore than paying our borrowings back by omitting three leap years in three centorial. years, anid square matters by having a leap year in the fourth .centurial year, Pope Gregory’s arrangement is s0 exact anc the borrowing and paying back balanced 80 nicely, that we borrow more than we pay back to the extent o only one day in 3866 yeara, Saas Sureriecss nbghtey made miserable by that-tertible cough.

Ewing & Heath’s Comedy Enterprise Company geve an acceptable performance Thursday evening to a good-sized audience. Miss Suits as ‘‘Cad the Tomboy’’ was of course the leading attraction, and she made a most favorable impression. She is good-looking, vivacious and a rather good singer and dancer. The company is made up of San Francisco people, among the more capable of whom are Miss Amy Roberts, Miss Eberle, Wilson Deal and A. H. Hallett. The play has a variety of good features both amusing and sensational, and could with adequate scenic effects be made really strong. For Friday evening :‘‘Widow Bedott’ with Horace Ewing (who did mot appear in ‘‘Cad’’) as hero was underscored. . The ‘‘ Widow” has been presented here but once and that was several years ago when Neil Burgess played: the. titulary role to the great satisfaction of everybody. Teachers’? Examination.

The Sotid Value For Frutt Raise ing Purposes. . Itis a common belief inthis State, that the immense area of timber land is good for nothing except for the lumber that may be produced therefrom. This is especially true of that portion which lies at an elevation where snow falls forsome portion of the winter seagon. It is true that a great deal of the timber region is too rugged, steep and rocky ever to amount to anything in an agricultural sense, But there are thousands of acres now §covered with standing timber, the soil of which is deep-and mellsw; and made up as it is of the decaying vegetation of ages, it is of a highly fertile character. In some of these localities where the timber has been removed, energetic men have demonstrated that for the production of apples, cherries, pears, potatoes, etc., the mountain soil is unrivalled. The mountain apples of California have a high reputation wherever they are known and seldom are allowed to reach the city market, so great is the local demand for tham. They are large and firm of flesh, jaicy, finely flavored—in a word, the. very perfection of what apples should be. The potatoes, too, which are grown in the mountains, areas goodas any that can be produced, and always command goo! prices. Thousands of acres of timber land in this State today, can be bought cheap and will amply repay in lumber for being cleared; while, when. the trees are removed the soil will be found valuable in the highest degreé for the produc: tion‘of crops. There are large areas, also, which have been denuded of their growth, and which are, consequently, regarded by their owners as practically worthless, These can be made as productive as the high-priced and much vaunted lands of the -valleys. The Biggést Christmas Tree. Signor Sonbogno, the enterprising and philanthropic editor of the Secola daily newspaper in Milan, got up two years ago a Christinas tree for the poor children-in that city, His success was go great that he was enabled to give a treat to 14,000 of them. Last year he undertook the same work, intimating that he wished 80,000, objects, in order to give 20,000 children under ten years of age four articles each—namely, an article of dress, a toy, a piece of sweetmeut and a piece of fruit, From the first day this intimation appeared inthe pages of his journal until the day before Christmas gifts for the tree” inmoney and kind poured in the wealthier families and shops in Milan, but from all parts of Italy, and even from Tripoliand far-off Massana. The Theatre Canobbiana was granted for the distribution of the gifts on Christmas day. A tree, a veritable giant mountain pine, fitted ‘‘to the mast of some great ammiral,’’ was set up on the stage, its top lost in the blue gauze sky. A family of smaller trees stood round and round .the theatre, which, with flowers, statues and fountains, was transported into a veritable paradise. Twenty-two thousand tickets, the gift of a Milanese printer, had been distributed among the poorest children in the town. At o'clock on Christmas morning the doors of the theatre were thrown open, and from that hour till 6 o’clock in the evening a continuous stream of children poured into the building.

The following will show why the year 1900 will not be counted among leap years: The year is 365 days, 5 hours and 49 minutes long; 11 minutes are taken every year tomake the year 86514 days long, and every fourth year we havean-extraday. This waa Julias® Cwsar’s arrangement. These 11 minutes come from the féture, and are paid by omitting a leap year every 100 years. But if a leap yeat is omitted regularly every 100 years, in the vourse of 400 years it ts found that the 11 miuotes taken each year will not only have béen paid back, but that’a whole day will have been given up, So Pope Gregory XII, who improved on Cresar’s calendar in 1582, decreed that every centurial year divisible by four should be a leap year after all. So we borrow 11 minutes each year, nore than paying our borrowings back by omitting three leap years in three centorial. years, anid square matters by having a leap year in the fourth .centurial year, Pope Gregory’s arrangement is s0 exact anc the borrowing and paying back balanced 80 nicely, that we borrow more than we pay back to the extent o only one day in 3866 yeara, Saas Sureriecss nbghtey made miserable by that-tertible cough.
