California for InyaiidS.

The coast of southern California is
said to be becoming a resort for IN
vahds suffering from pulmonary af-
fections, and with great benefit in many
cases. According to atourlst there are
three spots III southern California
which possess climate peculiarly
adapted for inclpient consumptives,
viz: San Bernardino, ut the foot of the
coast mountains and about sixty miles
from Los Angeles. and Santa Barbara,
and San Diego, on the sea coast. They
all three lie between latitude thirty two
degrees and thirty-fye degrees
north, and have very mild
and equable winter climate, not
liable to the trying vicissitudes of
weather which render some sea.coast
cities SO exhausting TO invalias. San
Bernardino is described as being far
superior in climate to Aiken. or to the
far-famed Mentone, the tayorite resort
of Europeen consumptiveS, and OF those
afflicted with throat disease case
is cited OF a gentleman who had been
consamptive for some years, ANA had
struggled for his life in winter resi-
dence, for two years, at Nice and Men
tone, aud II third year Mt Aiken, in
South Carolina. He was losing
strength fast, and last summer suffered
so severely from night sweats, sleep
lcssness, continual coughing and lack
of appetite, that it was doubtful whether
he would live through the winter
anywhere. He went 70 San Bernardo
no, and by the following January was
able to travel sixty miles over a rough
road, walk several miles the same even
ing, eat heartily and sleep well, with
scarcely any cough at all He attri-
butes this surprising change entirely to
the climate, and mentions many per-
ons of both sexes who had reareds
similar benefit from it. There is also
the testimony of physician who had
removed from New York, where he was
constantly Frustrated by throat disease,
to this new haven OF convalescence,
and there he soon recovered his health,
and has retained it in perfect order
ever since The Philadelphia Ledger,
in giving these facts, feels It its duty
to add that, while 1t has heard many
apparently authenticated state
meuts of consumption cured or
checked by residence III
southern California, it has sor-
rowlul knowledge of at least one in
stance of lady who, after trying Santa
Barbara for prolonged period, re-
turned to her home in Ohio, within n
few weeks, to die. Hers was probably
one of the cases ''too far gone to be
arrested by any human agencies or by
the most favorable climate. The most
careful intelligent advice of the physi-
clan skilled in the knowledge and treat
ment of pulmonary diseases, is of vital
importance before setting out on such II
journey. 1t Is difficult to prescribe any
special locality for those suffering from
such diseases, except by physicians well
acquainted with the constitution of
the patient. TO some Florida, to 9th
ers Minnesota, II taken III time, would
be more beneficial; TO ali, fresh air
and moderate exercise are the chief al
leviators.

where the trees were much exposed to

where the trees We're much exposed to
wind.
To BRING into bearing, trees which
have been neglected for n number of
years. and which are now tall and thin,
with long whip branches, some of these
slender shoots may be bent over and
fastened by the upper extremity TO the
base without breaking. 1t kept in this
position for two years the curved part
VIII by the end of that period have
formed an abundance of fruit spurs.
Once the change from wood to fruit
bearing there will be no difficulty III
the future. Another method occasion
ally practiced is to make hooples OF
some of the small, thin branches. This
can be done in the spring and summer
by taking a shoot foot or two in
length and then bending it around in
the form of a RUG, making it self-tast
eniDg. Such rings can be formed rap
idly, and III any part of the tree where
there are phable twigs. year later
there will be fruit spurs on these
shoots. and they will continue to
form from that time forward. This
years ago this plan was tested on a
Vicar of Wakefield tree 10 years old
that had never borne any fruit. This
year it has nice and promising crop.
The plan has been tested en- many 9TH
er trees, and in no case has it failed to
bring about the desired result within
three years When one has few trees
in the garden it is interesting to notice
the gradual transition.
Mr. CHARLES l.. FLINT, the well
known writer on grasses, advocates
their seeding alone, and generally late
in summer or fall, and asserts |.
That early fall seeding without grain
should be adopted in practice in pre-,
ference to seeding in spring. ,. That,
as a general rule it is poor economy to
take any grain crop either with or I'M
mediately preceding the seeding down
to grass. That the grass being the ulti-
mate and paying crop, it is bad prac.
tice to reduce the land by the draft
which grain crop makes upon it, g.
That wherever, from any local reason,
it becomes desirable to take IL crop of
spring grain, it is more economical to
SOW the grain alone in the spring, and
to pillow up the stubble and SOW the
grass seed alone i'll the early fall. 4.
That in cases where it seems desirable
to SOW grass seed in spring, it is bet
ter to SOW it alone, and let it take its
chance, without compelling it to strug-
gle for existence under the disadvan-
tages of grain or any other crop. D.
That in seeding down in August or ear
ly in September, we are following ma
ture as to time, and that, unless the
grounG is already rich and in high
condition, 1t is necessary to give the
seed the benefit of an application of
manure on or near the surface to which
the seed is applied. 6. That in the
selection Of seed for moving lots and
hay, we should choose varieties to mix
that blossom at or nearly ut the same
time, and not NIX very early and very
late varieties together,

A Wool Broker Embezzling $50, 600.

Of June. and found that Hine had de-
camped two days before his arrival,
taking the proceeds Of the sale of the
wool, amounting to more than $50, 900.
Mr. List, in addition to the reward
of $1,000 offers % per cent. Of the
amount Of the stolen money for It's re-
covery. There are several other con-
signees who have suffered In large
amounts by the populations OF Hlne..

TOMATO CUsTARD. This is said to be
beneficial diet for consumptlves. 1t

Queer Antiquities in Spain-..TWe,ye Fe-
male Figures.

Near the village of Yecla, in the prov
ince of Murcia, IN Spain, there is hill
called "El Cerro de los Angeles ow-
ing to the numerous fragments of sta
tues which have been discovered near
it. A little more than year ago, the
heavy rains, or some other clrcum-
stance, brought to the surface some
fragments of antique statues which at
tracted great attention, and caused ex
cavations 10 be made in the locality. =
Among the discoveries made were those
of curious female standing figures,
about twelve In number, tour of which
have large conical head dresses, and
the body covered with drapery in SYM
metrical folds; the remainder have
smaller head-dresses, although richer
in ornamentation, and necklaces IN the
form of cord or plat. All these stat
ues hold a vase III their hands, at the
heightof their waist. One OF these fig
ures nolds the vase with one hand, and
in the other has an object Which APP
pears to be the flower oflotus. An6th-
ar has her hand lifted to her shoulder,
in the same way rs the figures Of the
thirteenth century which hold the cords
of their mantles.
The most remarkable of all is a fig
ure which holds vase from which
flames issue on her breast is large
necklace, with representation OF the
sun and moon and a star, and on zone
Of the interior tunic, at the height of
the knees, several attributes are en-
graved. The execution of these sculp-
lures is CO arse, indicating that they
were made by unskilled hands rather
than at a period of complete decay.
The fact of their being made of the
same stone which is found III the local
ity, renders it probable that they are
the work of artists who worked apart
from the principal centres Of culture.
They are considered as of an epoch pos
terror to the birth Of Christ and earlier
than Constantine.
