THE CHRMsTs.-The Spanish Cafiiats
have become aggressive again Oh the
frontier. They have just attacked a
military station, released number Of
their friends from prison and burned the
barracks. There is agitation, of course,
and marching and countermarchng OF
troops in consequence. a very un-
healthy condition of affairs.

ARTIFIcIAL IcE MAKING A rapid anr
economical method for the artificial pro
duction Of ice has been brought TO the
attention Of the Paris Accademy Of sci
ence. The process consists in the eYap-
Grafton of ether in a current of air.
which passes on through layer Of coke
or pumice stone, constantly saturated
with sulphuric acid. The yapoTs are
condensed by the action of the machine
itself, and the ether is afterward regained
by distillation. The cost of running is
chiefly for coal in the distilling process,
and it is stated that one pound Of coal Is
sufficient TO produce from twenty-five to
thirty pounds of ice.

THOSE FOOTSTEPS.

In the quiet hush of the tender night,
When nv eyes I'LL up with tears,
Comes my darling to me, all golden
bright
With The sunshine of three sweet
years. . ...-.
And he smiles as he climbs to his seat
on my knee,
To whisper his Childish mirth;
Then clasps my Mccullough you may
not see,
For my darling is not of earth.
aOnly within the twilight gloom,
When the hours are long and sweet,
7 hear all about in the lonely room
The patter of little feet
'Patter of feet that come and go
With q sweet yet restless will,
Just as they did a month ago,
Ere they grew for ever still.
And my heart, at those spirit-sounds
that seem
So near yet SO far away,
Glides into the faith of sweet love
dream,
That follow me night and day.
And this love dream, tender and ever
sweet,
Still whispers soft and low.
''Keep thou in thy heart these tiny feet,
And follow the way they CO."
Then my sorrow sinks down as leafet
will
When the winds are into their rest;
And bow with clasped hands. and still
The footsteps are in my breast.

SATURDAY MIG HIT.

Placing tho little hats all in a row,
Ready for church ON the morrow, you know
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and tit to be kissed;
Putting them into clean garments and white /;
That is what mothers are doing tonight
Spying out holes in the little worn hose,
Laying by shoes that are wore through tho
toes,
Looking DER garments SO faded and thin
Who but a mother knows where to bcgine
Changing button to make it look right
That is what mothers are doing to- night.
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their soft evening
prayer,
Telling them stories Of Jesus Of old,
Who loves to gather the lambs to His fold;
Watching, they listen with childish delight
That is what mothers are doing to- might.
Creeping so softly to take last peep,
After the little ones are all asleep;
Anxious to know if the children are warm,
Tucking the blankets round each little form {;
Kissing each Ii tie face, rosy and bright
That is what mothers are doing to night
Knceling down gently beside the white bed,
Lowly and meekly she bows down her head,
Praying as only a mother can pray,
"God guide and keep them from going astray."

HOW MOUNT DIABLO GOT ITS
NAME.

The aborigines, We are told by CroniSe,
called this great land mark OF California
Kah Moo kum-the mighty mountain.
The Spanial d. called it Sierra de 10, Cor
cones, either of which is preferable to its
present name which really does not be
long to it, but to Il small hill seven miles
to the north, to which the name WAS
applied from the following incident:
About the year lSl4 party OF Spanish
soldiers were sent from the presidio OF
San Francisco to chastise the Tribe OF
Indians who roamed through this palt OF
the Coast Range. In fight that took
place three OF the Spanial ds were killed,
and the others "retiied in good order ="
to the little hill as u place where they
could defend themselves against the
swarm OF Indians. At night the sentry,
half asleep ut his post, tancied he saw Il
spectral figure dying through the air
whore his companions lay sleeping. Ter
rited by the appalition he eiivd out, I'll
Dmblo! Fl DMblo!" twice. The Span
iard>, being more anaid OF the dcvi, than
they were OF the Indians, hcd nom the
spot; wi ich was thereafter kLown ~
Mount Diablo. As there was II good
spring OF water in the vicinity it was often
resorted to by hunters, who, in describing
it to their friends, called it the Mount
Diablo Spring. In after years settlers
commenced to make their homes near
Mount Diablo, and when the great rush
came in 1918 and 1919, the name was
transferred to the great mountain, and 1t
has since been applied to the whole range.
The Mount Diuhio range covers u terri
tory about one hundred and fifty miles
long, and from twenty to thirty miles
wide. 1t is hidden from our view here
in Brooklyn by the Contra Costa range
of hills which intercept our vision. The
hight of Mount DNbo' at it, greatest
elevation is 1851 feet. 1t contains the
only coal mine in the State prohtably
worked. Home Jot1Rdt.

THINNING FRUIT.-There is very
general tendency of fruit trees in Califor-
to set more fruit than they can bring
to good size and full maturity. 1t is
the large peach, plum or pear of the
same variety upon the same tree, that is
better than the half-grown one. In order
to remedy the evil, incident to this pro-
pensity to over-bear, recourse must be
had to thinning. And the only way the
cultivator can effect his object properly is
by hand picking the small and imperfect
fruit, leaving only the best to be carried
forward to maturity.
1t is worse than useless to attempt the
thinning process by shaking the limbs,
for the effect is to cause the largest and
heaviest fruit to fall rather than the small
and lightest, and it should be remembere
that three bushels of fine large fruit will
bring more money than four of inferior,
though from the same tree while the
handling and freight are as three to four
in favor of the best.-Rurdt Press.

Toe PARTICULAR. - The other day
Mrs. Bart Morgan, of Georgetown, FL
Dorado county, fell head foremost down
the well, which is said to be thirty feet
deep with ten feet of water in it. The
mud in Mrs. Morgans hair indicated that
she went clear to the bottom. When
discovered, some half an hour afterward,
she was bracing herself across the well,
patiently awaiting assistance. The Plac-
erville Republican says that when tho
alarm was given, the men who first ar
rived decided that it would be "improper
for any other gentleman than the lady's
husband 20 60 down after her !" and he
was sent for making considerable delay.
The lady was rescued upon his arrival on
the scene, having been considerably bruis-
ed, and nearly benumbed by her long
bath in the cold water.

IMPORTANT SUIT.-A gentleman by
the name OF j. G. w. Wilcox, who re-
sides at Union Hill, near Grass Valley,
called on us yesterday to ascertain if we
had seen mention of a suit having been
brought for the recovery of the land upon
which the city Of Richmond, Virginia, is
built. He informs us that the suit was
to have been commenced on the first OF
this month, and he has been informed
that notice of the fact has been publish
ed in the Sacramento Union or San
Francisco Chronicle. He says the land
was left to him by his father, who pur-
chased it from the Government, and he
had never been able to get control of it,
not having money enough 10 bring suit
for its recovery. Before the rebellion
broke out, he had made Arrangements
with some parties to commence an action,
but when the war commenced the whole
matter was dropped for the time being.
About three months ago Mr.. Wilcox
came to this city and presented the mat
ter to Judge T. II. Caswell, who forth
with opened correspondence with Hon
orables Albert Pike and Robert johnson,
and special arrangements were made with
Caswell left this city about six weeks ago,
and is expected back in few days.
