THE REASON WHY.

s j
1t is always desirable that facts should be
supported by o reason. The editor of Av-
thurs Home Magazine gives the following
questions and answers, which are pertinent to
this season of the year -
Why is fruit most wholesome when eaten on
an empty stomacnq
Because 1t contains large amount of fixed
air whiclfaequires great power to disengage
and expel it before it begins to digest.
Why is boiled or roasted fruit more wholc-
some than raw
Because, in the process of boiling or roast
ing, fruit parts with its fixed air, and is tl,ss
rendered easier of digestion.
Why are cherries recommended in cases Of
scurvy, putrfd fever, and similar diseases2
On account of their cooling and antiseptic
properties, and because they correct tho con-
dition Of the blood and other fluids Of the
body when there is any tendency to putres-
ccnce at the same time, like all fresh fruits,
they possess a mild aperient property, very
beneficial to persons Of bilious habit.
What eject have vegetable acids upon the
bfoour
They cool and dilute the blood, and gener-
ally refresh the system All fruits contains
acids and salts, which exercise cooling aud
invigofating influence. Apricots, peaches,
apples, pears, gooseberries and currants con-
tain malc acid. Lemons raspberries grapes
and pine apples contain ctrc acid. The skins
of grapes, plums, aloes, etc, contain fannie
acid, which has bitter taste.
Why should salt be applied to vegetables
intended for picking, previously to putting
them in the vinegarp
Because all vegetables abound in watery
juices, which, If mixed with the vinegar,
would dilute it so much as to destroy its pre-
sentative property. Salt absorbs portion OF !
this water, and Indirectly contributes to the
strength of the vinegar.
Why is bread made from wheat flour more
strengthening than that made from barley or
oats?
Because, AZ gluten, a1bumcn and caseine are
the only substances in the bread capable OF
forming blood, and consequently Of sustain-
ing the strength and vigor of the body, they
have been appropriately called the food of nu-
triton, as distinction from those which
merely support respiration. Wheat contains
eight hundred aud twenty-five parts of starch,
three hundred and fifteen Of gluten, albunfeii
and casene, and sixty of sugar and gum
while barley contains twelve hundred OF
starch, one hundred and twenty of gluten, al
bupien and caseine, and one hundred and six
ty of sugar and gum hence wheats is much
richer than barley in the food of nutrition.

LIFE.

BARRY CORNWALL.
We are born we laugh We weep;
Welove we droop; we die
All wherefore do we laugh or weeps
Why do we live or die?
Who knows that secret deep?
Alas; not
Why doth the violet spring
Unseen by human eye?
Why do the radiant seasons bring
Sweet thoughts that quickly ht7
Why do our fond hearts cling
To things that die?
We toil-through patti and wrong
We fght--and fly
We love we lose and then, ere long,
Stone dead we lie /;
o life is all thy song
Endure and-die "

b. f. NAPTHALY, who published the
article in his paper, the Sua, denounc-
ing the whole DEYoUNG family, male
and female, as the kind of folks honest
and decent people do not care to asso-
ciate with, prints card in the NeaOS
Letter, in which he indicates his
ability to prove every charge made,
and expresses the belief that CHARLES
DEYoUNG induced the Grand Jury to
ignore the charge of libel against him,
NAPTHALY, because he did not dare
give him chance to prove that what
he charged was true. This leaves the
Sun editor and publishers in more
enviable position than the coterie has
occupied for some time. The Chronicle
killed the Sun at single blow, but in
doing so received the point of pois-
oned foil, which makes its life misera-
BILE and its death but question of

IN many counties of this State,
where fees form part of the officers
compensation, it has been found i'm
possible to determine what the receipts
of certain county officers were. After
many unsuccessful efforts to fix the
pay of such officers at the proper
figures, the Legislature at its last ses-
sion passed an Act requiring all Off
GERS in certain counties, among them
Los Angeles county, to keep fee book,
in which all sums received as fees shall
be entered, together with the inform
alton of from whom and for what they
were collected. This book is to be
open for the inspection of all who may
so desire, and shall be examined each
quarter by the Board of Supervisors
and the District Attorney. We are
informed that the law took effect i'm
mediataly on it's passage, though we
presume its provisions will not be en-
forced until copies are placed in the
hands Of the officers.

Irritation in the Santa Ana Valley.

A single illustration Of what the IT.
rigation law passed at the last session
of the Legislature will do for this
valley, is seen in the work now pro-
crossing on the Santa Ana River, near
Anaheim. The bitches will take the
water from the river at point twelve
miles above Anaheim and convey it
over the land lying on each side of the
channel. There is an abundance Of
water to irrigate fifty thousand acres
on the west side and thirty thousand
acres on the east side, making total
of eighty thousand acres brought into
cultivation and insured to raise crop,
such as can only be grown in Los An
geles Valley, every season. This asst
area of land, before the passage of the
Irrigation law, was worth but from
eight to ten dollars per acre. 1t has
already increased in value, and when
the bitches are completed it will be
worth from fifty to sixty dollars per
acre-a five-fold increase within less
than twelve months. The bitches will
be ready for use in time for next sea-
son. At the point where the water
will be diverted from the main chan
mel a natural rock dam extends across
the Santa Ana River, which forces all
the water of the stream to the surface,
thus turning the entire volume out
upon the level land. 4 valuable water
power is also secured, sufficient to run
a dozen large factories. We have OBJ
tanned these facts from Mr. VIM. r.
OLDEN, gentleman who possesses a
vast fund of information relative to
the wealth and resources of our valley.
He assures us that the water of the
Santa Ana River, about to be util-
lied, will do all that is claimed above,
and make large tract of now unpro-
ductive land one of the most product
i've and valuable in the State.

Beet Sugar Factory.

Beet sugar men have discovered that
the beet best ada pied for their purpose
should only bepermitted to grow until
it weighs about five pounds. They also
say that locality which will produce
two crops per year is the most desira-
ble-the second crop possessing equal
saccharine qualities with the first. The
qualities of Los Angeles Valley soil in
this respect having reached Mr.. W.
WApswoRTH, the builder and princl-
pal owner of the Sacramento Beet
Sugar Factory, he placed himself IN
communication with Mr.. w. II.
OLpEN, of this county, and on the in
formation furnished by him, Mr..
WADswoRTH is moving in the bust
ness of incorporating company IN
San Francisco, for the purpose OF pur-
chasing beet farm and establishing
beet sugar manufacture at or near An
aheim. He writes that he enter
tains no doubt about disposlng
of the requisite amount OF
stock, almost without an effort,
among the capitalists of San Fran
cisco. 1t is to be hoped this enterprise
will be speedily carried out. One OF
these factories in operation in our val
ley will cause the building OF several
Others in short time. Probably no
other section of the State will success
fully grow two crops of beets each
season, and certainly no other valley
on the Pacific Coast contains such n
large area adapted to the cultivation
of the sugar beet. We have no means
of estimating the annual sum paid for
sugar by the people of San Bernardino,
San Diego and Los Angeles counties,
but it no doubt exceeds half mil
lion dollars. Now every dollar ofthis
money goes away-is paid out for a
foreign production. If we go into the
beet sugar business as extensively as
our facilities will admit, we shall not
only pay this large sum for home
production, but manufacture great
deal of sugar for export, thus selling
to those of whom we are now COM
pciieu 10 buy.

THE Chronicle is eternally getting
itself or some one else into trouble. A
few weeks ago it told how popular a
barber-shop would be if run by lady
artists. A man up on Market street
was silly enough to swallow the bait.
He hired dozen of the best looking
girls, and arming each of them with a
clean towel and bran new razor, in
formed the uncropped chins that his
shop was run by lady artists of great
experience and unsurpassed personal
attractions. For few minutes the
rush for that shop created the impress
sion that it was free Bible house or
the scene of wife murder. The first
man reaching female chair seated
himself with the calm conviction that
his Sunday School teacher had spoken
falsely when he said he would never
reach Heaven. A round arm fell
about his neck, and he saw the gleam-
ing steel flash about his face. A mo-
ment later, and he felt tingling sem
sation on the side of his neck, followed
by cOpious stream of blood. 1t never
rains but it pours. During a frantic
effort to staunch the flow of blood, the
razor caught the rim of his left ear,
and a piece of that organ about the
size of two-bit piece rested on the
towel. The man had enough of that
heaven. He fled to the door and down
the street to the nearest drug store.
The female barber shop is closed, and
people are cursing the Chronicle.

ANOTHER ghost has turned out a
fraud. The city of Oakland had, or
thought it had, genuine, Simon-pure,
warranted to wash, ghost. Every
body went to see it, and everybody
heard it. Things,went on in spirited
manner, after which some one sug-
gested a Committee Iof Investigation,
and Committee of Investigation was
appointed. The Committee investi-
gated whole week, and then rested
with the unsatisfactory announcement
that, with the consent of the inmates
of the house, they would tale unfold
that would prove the ghost fraud
and the ghostly manifestations the
result of natural causes. The family
withholds its consent, and thus estab-
fishes the fact that the whole thing is
trick. A lecture will be given, dur
ing which every seemingly mysterious
act of the ghost will be re-enacted and
its modus operandi exposed. Did any
one ever see or hear real ghost?

"A SAN FRANCISCO jury has mulcted
the Central Pacific Railroad Company
in the sum of four hundred dollars for
ejecting a man from one of theii cars
who was travelling on a hold-over
ticket, the limit of which had expired.
Although the company have tumbled
many passenger overheard for like
cause, this is, We believe, the first in
stance where suit for damages has
reached a verdict. The policy of refus-
ing to issue stop-over tickets, or of re-
fusing to take up tickets good for one
day after that day has passed, is in
furious to the Railroad Company and
great inconvenience to the travelling
public. In equity, if not in law, rail-
road ticket is good until it is used. 1t
is, in fact, the company's agreement
to perform a stipulated service for a
specified sum of money, and it seems
but reasonable that the contract should
be binding until the service is per-
formed. The higher courts of the East
have held to this opinion, and it APP
pears to be founded on principle OF
right and justice to all concerned.
