RecOIlections Of Dentists Shop.

Mark Twain, in his new book about
England, tells how he had the toothache
one night in London, and gives some
pleasing recollections of the dentists
shop which he was wont to patronize
when he lived in Elmira. He says {:
g One night that tooth did Jump, and
every time it jumped it raised my head
off the pillow. How I did lie awake and
think about that dentists shop IN Elmi-
re-, where I had been under torture so
many times of those pretty dental in
struments, so polished and so cold
How did long to lay my cheek against
one-one of those short, thick, heavy,
twisted chaps, with the bOw-legged,
futed, and curved handles and short
hawksbil Jaws How revelled IN de-
light at the thought of having such a
thing clutch my ref aotory tooth, and
syank it = With what pleasnrable emo
tions came crowding into my mind the
reeoilections OF that dentist and his
room and its fixtures-his big easy
chair, with the pretty, white-eurtained
window before it, and the nice, big, red
glass spittoon to the left, with the hole
in the bottom, and the bits of vet cot
ton and the bright pieces OF gold and
streams of blood stained saliva on the
sides. And then the pretty little
bureau with the bottles on the top, and
the little yellow drawers which he jerks
out so gently when seeking for some
new and more delicate instrument of
torture. And then the beautiful little
round, velvet-covered stand on the gas
fixture, covered with the nice drills and
pretty files, and the lovely little crow
bars with the stained ivory handles, and
the long steel crochet needle with which
he hunts for new cavities, and the little
round pastebOard box full Of gold
plugs and the dirty little napkin and
the rubber ball syringe, and the slngu-
lar smell of his thumb, and all that

MAP OF OUR BACK COUNTRY.

Map showing the geographical
and commercial position of Los
Angeles; the system of Trans
Continental Railroads on the Pa
cific Coast tn e mpass q bic
ranges of mountains parallel to
the coast north and south of San
Gorgonio Pass-the only natural
pass in the tains from
Lower California to Oregon
showing also the largest and
richest mining region in the
world tributary to Los Angeles;
showing the proposed railroads
to the rich mines of Cerro Gordo
and to Salt Lake; also the thirty
fifth and thirty-second parallel
routes and their junction at AL
buquerque, as proposed by Col.
Scott. The names of the follow
ing important places in the coun-
ty are omitted from the map for
want of space: Anaheim, popu-
lation, 1,500; San Gabriel, 200;
El Monte, 100; Spadra, so; Gal
latin, 100; Santa Ana, so; West
minister, so; Compton, so; San
Fernando, so; Florence, so; Tus-
tin City, 80. These are each the
nucleus of a rich farming section.
1t is plain to be seen that Los
Angeles county is the represent
ative county of Southern Calfor-
MIA, and the emporium of Los
Angeles county and Southern
California is Los Angeles City,
centrally located therein also

Rodentine, gnawing animals, squir-
rels, ETC.; tenth, edentatOr, animals
of no teeth; eleventh, marsupulia,
pouched animals. He then spoke of
the difference of families, genii and
species in treating of mammals, and
dwelt upon them at length. He
pointed out the tertiary formations
in various parts of the earth. We find
these fossil animals in this formation.
The serpent appears for the first time
here. Scientists knew but little until
recently of this period. Comparative
anatomy has come to the aid of the
scientist to bring into form and re-
store to their original shape the mill
lions of bones found belonging to this
period, although differing so materi-
ally from those of their age. The Pa
cific coast was all under water then;
first the Sierras rose and the eastern
part of this State, while the western
part of California was still under
water. Four hundred species of fossil
remains have been found in one bed
in Alabama. Tropical fruits have
been found in New England showing
that this locality must have been as
warm then as in Southern Florida
at that time. Only six per cent. of
modern shells are found in the first
tertiary formation, forty per cent. in
the middle and from seventy to ninety
per cent. in the last or highest. He
dwelt upon the interesting country we
inhabit, and dwelt upon the impor-
tance of a knowledge of geology to us
and our children. Some of the South
ern States, Colorado, Nebraska, and
other portions of our country contain
s.N,.N 81 H.,
The number and forms, too, very
great. Seventeen species of fossil
horses have been found on this conti-
horse existed in America when the
Spanish came here. One of the most
remarkable spots on earth is in Utah
Territory. He there found sixty or
seventy fossil insects new to the geol-
Ogist. Wheat and the rose is found
in this highest tertiary forma-
ton for the first time. The earth
is evidently being prepared for man.
Eight hundred species of insects are
found in Germany. Ninety-eight dis
tinct species of plants in northern
Europe, which only now grow in trop-
ical cline. The mastodon, the largest
animal known, lived in this age. He
had tusks fourteen feet long, feet a yard
long. His tail must have been two
feet in diameter at the body, and his
thigh bone three times the size of the
largest elephant. The Professor here
painted in fancy some of the terrible
scenes that must have transpired on
land and in the water by these terrible
monsters, just as the Professor can in
his glowing manner.
His next lecture tonight is, "Thc
Age of Man, or the Advent of HUI
manity." We hope the people of Los
Angeles will give him large audience
on this, the last occasion which the
learned gentleman will give us to lis
ten to him on this interesting subject.

Professor Denton's Fifth Lecture.

The attendance last night at Prof.
Denton's lecture was considerably bet
ter than that of the previous evening,
there being more ladies present, we
think, than at any former lecture.
The Professor began by saying that al
though the granite formation is the
oldest, we have granite of recent form
atiOn--it is forming now. The meta
morphic formations 90 back long be-
fore the period of animal life, yet there
were metamorphic rocks formed long
after animals existed. No place on
earth contains all the formations
shown on the chart. Neither are they
found now lying in the order named.
The chart represents them in the order
in which they were formed. In the
changes that have taken place it is
proven that eleven thousand feet of
rocks have been worn off in places
the highest mountains have been worn
down to plains. These remarks are
necessary and Introductory to my lee
ture tonight, which is the tertiary
period, or the age of mammals. There
are eleven orders of these. First, two
handed mamma man the repre-
sentative; second, four-hand mann
mals-monkeys the representatives;
third, insect devourers-the hedgehog;
fifth, the carniveran-the cat and dog;
sixth, the cretacea, the whale, por-
poise, etc; seventh, the pachyder-
matas, elephants, ETC.; eighth, the
buminanchi, OK, sheep, etc.; ninth,

The Grange Store.

We clip the following from tho
Mutual Aid for July, just issued. The
statement comes from an official
source, and may be relied upon as cor
rect. 1t gives a more comprehensive
idea of the status of the enterprise and
its objects than we have yet presented
to our readers:
The Grange Cooperative Company
has established its main store in Los
Angeles, on Main street, between Sec
ond and Third streets, and have COM
menced strictly cash business. The
trade starts out under favorable aus
pices and averages at the rate of about
$4,000 Il month. fla credit system were
adopted this trade would be more than
doubled, but goods could not be sold
as low as they are at present. The
capital of the Company at present is
very limited and tits absolutely neces-
sary to adhere strictly to cash trade.
Experience will show the Company
what it is best to do in the future.
The General Manager now has on
hand full stock of groceries which
are being sold to stockholders at from
10 to 40 per cent. below the ordinary
retail prices heretofore prevalent in
this country. TO persons who are not
stockholders, goods are being sold at
prices much lower than those in vogue
elsewhere. Thus far about one-half
of the trade is to persons who are not
stockholders and both goods and pri-
ces give general satisfaction to all.
The company regrets that it was
unable to get in operation in time to
furnish grain sacks for the grain crop
in the south end of the county, but
the officers have done their best to
meet the wants and have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that they will be pre-
pared to meet any emergency another
season. Notwithstanding this delay
large quantities of sacks are being sold.
Arrangements have been made by
the General Manager for the shipment
of grain and farm produce. Stock
holders and others should consult
Mr. Seymour before disposing of
their produce elsewhere. All kinds
of farm implements will be pur-
chased by the company for those
giving it their orders, stockhold-
ers receiving their implements at as
near as possible to wholesale prices.
More capital is needed. There are
hundreds of Changers yet in Los An
geles and San Bernardino counties
who have not yet subscribed to the
stock of the company, and they
should do so at once so as to give the
General Manager more funds with
which to operate. There are also few
who have subscribed to the stock OF

Business still continues lively at the

Esperanza Store, and what is the reason ? 1t
is because they sell goods there cheaper than
ever before. Please note the prices of few
things of their large stock of goods and you

Joe Murphy Last Night.

The first of Murphy's series of en-
a rousing response from our citizens
last night. The audience was the
largest which we have ever seen
in Turner'S Hall, every available
space being occupied. The proceeds
from the house doubtless reached
thousand dollars. The entertainment
was what Murphy's playing always
prOves--immense. The minor char
acters were all well sustained and cap
ital hits were made throughout. IF
you want to laugh and laugh again
and keep it up for two hours or more
go and hear Murphy tonight.

the company who have not as yet
made their first payment of five dol
lars per share and taken their stock.
Such persons should respond at once
and thus help the movement.
A large amount of the trade at the
store is now with those who are not
stockholders. A large city trade will
soon be built up which will furnish a
good market for the farm products.
The surplus products will be shipped
to San Francisco so as not to allow the
market here to become glutted if pos

PIPIFAN.

This remarkable curative herbal
preparation is entirely unlike and greatly
superior to any other recuperant ever dis
covered.
1t strengthens the living vital nervaurlc
principle, and gives energy to the muscles,
nerves, fllaments, membranes, and all tissues
of the internal organs.
PIPIFAX-Keeps the skin in a supple
condition; the cuticle plant; the pores open;
and brings the blood to the surface; thereby
enabling the system to counteract these bane
full atmospheric influences.
PIPETAX--Passes through the blood, car
res off by prespiration and other excretions
the ef1ete and injurious materials of the body.
1t Is soothing Alternative and deferative. Used
methodically and nationally, aided by suita-
BILE diet, 1t produces most important changes
in the system, contributing t. the reconstruc-
ton of tissues, and removes vitiated matter
which has become not only useless but inju-
rious. No other article has ever been intro
duced which combines in such an extraordi-
nary degree the principles of an efficient anti
bilious agent and tonic. Try it and be con-
vinced. may29 3m-2O
