Freckles, says the Herald Of Health,
are moi easily washed out OF those who
have a ford complexion and are much
in the sunshine, but the following washes
are moi only harmless but very much the
best Of anything we know: Crate horse
radish fine; let it stand a few hours in
buttermilk, then strain and use the wash
night and morning, Or squeeze the
Juice of a lemon into half a goblet Of
water and use the same way. Most OF
the remedies for freckles are poisonous
and cannot be used with safety. Freckles
indicate a defect in digestion, and con-
sist in deposits of some carbonaceous or
fatty matter beneath the scarf skin. The
diet should be attended to, and should be
of a nature that the bowels and kidneys
will do their duty. Daily bathing, with
much friction, should not be neglected,
and the Turkish bath taken occasionally
if convenient.

was away for the moment. Our Adonis
was peering with his one.eyed glass at
an angel at his right; with his left hand
he drew out a chair and sat down into
those peachesl The dish snapped, the
peaches sized and spurted to every
point Of the compass, and the youth
spraug up with such force that he nearly
upset the table. The din was as loud as
Gabriel's horn and turned the walters
pale and others black in the face. Our

The City Of Paris.

Among the dry goods stores of Los
Angeles, the City of Paris has always
taken high place. In extent of stock
and quality Of goods, 1t has been in
the lead, and its customers are legion.
Low prices and fair dealing are the
principles that have given it this
prominence, and these will still con-
troll the business. Mr.. Eugene Meyer,
the we'll known merchant who has
built up the business reputation
of the City Of Paris, has just returned
from Europe with an immense stock
Of goods, bought at the very lowest
prices. He visited the principal facto-
ries on the Continent and in the East
ern States and has greater facilities
than ever before for selling goods at
low figures. His stock is complete in
every department, and he is acting ON
the principle of small profits and
quick sales. He has one of the best
assortments In Southern California
and will try to undersell all competit-
ors. Purchasers should examine his
stock Immediately for great bargains.

To the Afflicted.

From the Wilmington Enterprise.l
DR.. Aborn, who has acquired great
celebrity as an oculist, aurist, catarrh,
throat and lung physician, is at the
Backman house, Los Angeles, where
he will remain about two weeks The
Doctor has for several years devoted
special attention to the treatment of
chronic nasal catarrh, deafness, all
diseases Of the eye, ear, head, throat,
organs of the chest, and affections OF
the nervous system. We have read
many of his testimonials, which are
from the first men of the nation, all of
whom clearly testify to his superior
knowledge and medical skill in the
treatment of his specialties., Those of
our community who are suffering
from any Of the above-named diseases
should consult DR.. Aborn. Many of
his cures have been wonderful, and
some of them have been effected in a
space of time that is almost incredi-
BILE. Consult him by all means. He
will do you good. 48tTff f3g y

Where are tho Police?

On Friday Dight the grocery store of
Mr.. J. Cochrane, on Commercial street
near Alameda, was entered by thieves
and cigars and package tea to the val
ue of $3.50 taken therefrom. An en-
trance was effected from the yard in
the rear by rying off the planks form
ing the back end of the house. Mr..
Cochrane leaves his gas burning all
night, and the whole inside of the
store is visible from the sidewalk. 1t
is strange, therefore, that the burglars
were not discovered, particularly as
the s. P. r. r. has two private watch
men in their depot just across the
street. This theft was undoubtedly
committed by the same parties who u
short time since entered the Also
street store. They are not profession
ais, and ought to be an easy prey to
the police. 1t is about time their deps
relations were stopped.
