cleanliness must be reekoned rs the
deadliest of our present removable
causes of disease Filth is destruct-
i've to life in two days. First, by di-
rect poisoning action, as by the fumes
of organic decomposition from unven-
tilated cesspool or choked sewer by
continued breathing of the noxious
gases. Second, by the contagious dis
ease which it breeds in the system.
The causes Of pestilential disease are
we'll known, and the remedy may be
pointed out by every one, of average
intelligence; but the great difficulty
encountered is TO apply the remedy.
Los Angeles has too many of these
life-destroying cesspools and decayed
sewers, and their existence is well
known to the officers, butsthe means
of abatement are not at hand. The
law by which publication ought TO be
secured readswell enough and seems
to cover the ground, but the power of
enforcement is wanting. The ordi-
nance under which the Health Officer
should cleanse the foul places is dead
letter. Citizens refuse to obey the
law, and there does not appear to ex-
ist the power to enforce obedience.
There is no cause for wonder that de-
<Nr
breeze which daily sweeps tNs city,
We have occasional cases of typhoid
and other feyers that are caused by the
poisons engendered from the plague
spots that are found in too many To-
caIities within the city limits. Some
day the people will learn that the cost
of cleanliness is less than that of doc
tors bills and funeral expenses.

Filth and Disease.

A late number of the Scientific Amer
icdn containsan exhaustive article on
"Fiith as the Source of Preventable
Disease,u which. should be read by all
and copies of it ought to be framed and
hung up in the council room of every
city and town in the nation. The
Musselman theory that death from
poison engendered by cesspool is the
will of God is hardly endorsed by the
American people, yet in too many
places death arises from these fetid
holes and stalks through a town while
the people exclaim, Gods will be
done. The death rate of city is in
creased by the neglect to remove re-
fuse matter from inhabited places and
the license which is permitted to cases
of infectious diseases to scatter far
and wide the seeds of their infection.
The first originates i'm local uncleanli-
ness and the second from local neglect
and Indifference. Dr. SIMoNs, on
summing up the results Of extensive
and able Investigations of sanitary
conditions says: "In total power, un-

IT is stated that there is now more
idle money in San Francisco than ev-
er before. People are Withholding
their funds from the banks, and the
banks are retaining their coin. Loans
are refused on the most uneXception-
able security. 1t is not probable that
the disposition to held on to money
will disappear until the annual settle
ments are made. Exorbitant rates
are demanded and acceded to where
accommodations are given. In some
instances, on aside loansn interest as
high as five per centpe month ispaid.
This shows degree of closeness In the
money market of San Francisco, not
felt in this city: Money is compara-
lively plenty here and on satisfactory
security may be had on much easier
terms. Our people are not disposed to
hide away their coin. This is appar-
ent by the large number of deposits
made daily in the Farmers aud Mer-
chants Bank. The utmost confidence
in this bank prevails throughout the
entire community and it is expected
that in short time all traces of the
late stringency will have entirely dis
appeared.

SECRETARY of State DRURY MALONE
in his late report alludes to the orders
made upon him by members of the
Legislat ature for stationery in a man
ner which implies that more is called
for than absolutely required. And
DRURY is correct. Thousands of dol
lars are wasted in stationery at every
session. If members were required to
purchase their own postage stamps,
envelopes and letter sheets there
would be a wonderful falling off in the
quantity used. In the good old days
Of nuggets and eXtravagance some
members used to send home boxes of
stationery and stamps, besides vast
ing hundreds of dollars worth during
the session. We hope the Legislature
soon to convene will pass a resolu-
ton that each member shall purchase
his own stationery.

THE San Francisco Ne,Us Letter be-
lieves there are too many banks in
that city and.that the aggregate capi-
tol is divided into too many sums.
There is q great deal of truth in this.
1t is more than probable that if all
the banking institutions of San Fran
cisco were merged into five or six
well managed banks the interests of
the entire community would be bet
ter served. We have not only in San
Francisco but throughout the State
too many banks that are wanting in
both the management and the securi-
ty necessary to inspire n feeling of
safety among those who are seeking a
place to deposit their money. A bank
ought to be based on principles that
admit of no possible loss to those
whose funds are entrusted to its keep.
ing and such banks the people of CAL
ifornia must have before a feeling of
perfect confidence is restored. If the
stockholders Of II bank are worth in
individual property three orfour times
the amount of money entrusted to
their keeping and they hold this prop
erty unincumbered and as collateral
security for the money of their de-
positors, loss is impossible. Fewer
banks and better ones is the great e.
sideratum. We have few of this
class of banks, and we need more of
them. 4.-.-sF .-...r -. 8

Infrangible Glass.

Those who live in glass house, says
the London Observer, may, in future,
throw stones. M. de la Bastie, a French
SaUa1et, has succeeded in discovering a
process by which glass is rendered alb
solutely infrangible, the first practical
results, indeed, of the invention of the
pretty and scientific toys known as
"Batavian tears" These drops, formed
ofmelting glass, projected into cold water,
present, as is well known, singular
phenomenon. A stone-breaker's ham
mer will make no impression on the
swollen parts of the glass tear, but the
slightest fracture of its long, slender
tail will cause the whole thing to explode
and vanish in impalpable dust. From
these facts NJ. de Ia Bastie drew con-
clusions which have enabled him to de-
prive glass of all its fragihty while re-
tanning its transparency and apparent
delicacy of texture. He will, it may be
hoped, be better rewarded for his sue
cessful invention than the unlucky
Roman Dion Cassius. Having succeeded
in producing elastic glass, this slave
brought q vase of the material to the
Emperor Biberius, threw it on the
ground, from which he lifted it unin-
iured, and stood expecting freedom or a
large reward. The emperor, however,
ascertained that the ingenious inventor
was tho sole depository of the secret,
spoke word to one of his guards a
chill sensation stole round the slaves
neck, and his head fell at the feet OF
Tiberius, who feared the invention would
depreciate the value OF his own gold and
silver vases.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.

Wisely and slow; they stumble that
run fast.
He that lives to no purpose lives to a
bad purpose.
Uttered out of time, or concealed in
its season, good savoreth of evil.
No man can answer for his own valor
or courage till he has been in danger.
Perfect valor is to do unwitnessed
what we should be capable of doing be-
fore all the world.
Every one must fiud out for himself
the key to the riddle of life. 1t is of
no use to have it told. Some DO not
hear, others misunderstood it.
This is a comfort, that nothing but
fidelity is required of stewards, not
talents, nor inventive powers, nor mani
fold activity, nor success.
Goodness and truth are of more
weight than brilliant talents, and good
temper goes further than great gift.
We cannot expect people to believe
either in our principles or our sincerity,
when they see them failing to amend
our faults and strengthen our virtues.
What we habituate ourselves to ad-
mire, we love to associate with, and
what we associate with we gradually
initiate and adopt its features into our
lives. Those who associate with the
good are much stronger than they who
alone go out to fight the evil.
