ON the 2d instant the Alta Califor- mia commenced its 2Sth year and volume. The first number of that paper appeared On the Sd of January, 1S49, when San Francisco was town of tents and pine shanties, scattered over the bleak sand hills of "Yerba Buena." The Alta has grown with the growth and strengthened with the strength of California, and it is truly said that its character and labors are part of the history of the State. It has a record to which it can well point with pride. Some of the brightest intellects of this glorious young commonwealth have been con- nected with its editorial corps and their writings in its columns have con- tributed much to the shaping of the upward growth of the new Pacific Empire. Our recollection of the Alta extends back to the days of boy hood, and we give to it, on its 2Sth anniversary, the greeting that is due an old, familiar friend. May its years be long in the land.
 The above from the San Diego Union, will meet with hearty indorse- ment from the Atlas friends in Ari- zona. It has long been a staunch friend of Arizona, and to please us its future success cannot be too great nor last too long.

These useful birds increase in value

fulnoss. The latest application of the
"homing" faculty, as it is called, of this
bird, is the establishment of communica,
tion between lightships and the shore, at
times when it is impossible to convey in.
tell;gence by any other method. The
maritime code of signals is taken advan-
tage of, and two or three lettors are
stamped on the wing, intimating the ma.
ture of the assistance required. The bird
is then let loose, and makes its way to its
haunts on shore. By this means many
shipwrecked mariner may be saved from
death. In great many ,ascs "pigeon
service" might be made to supersede the
electric telegraph. This would but be
reviving the practice Of the great stock.
brokers at the beginning of the century.
During the war, relays Of pigeons we're
kept all along the road from Paris to
London, so that these speculative gentle.
men obtained the earliest news Of the
course of events. The carrier.pieeon
came into special prominence during the
late siege of Paris; letters, photographed
on the minutest scale. were carried to and
fro BY its means. The Prussians could
not intercept the birds, and ended by
adopting the system themselves. At the
present time every fortress and fortified
town 10 Germany is provided with fooks
OF trained pigeons, by which means com.
municatioDs could be sent into town. if
invaded by hostile force.

Sending Letters by Mail.

"a new way to pay old debts" is to
claim that the money was sen. in letter
and John Reeves stole it. The crop of
idiots is very large this year, if all the
men who sent large sums Of money 10 un.
registered letters really did send them,
1t is Incredible that men will continue to
risk money in letters which cannot be
tracked" any more than you can track
fish in the water, while the government
offers perfectly safe means of transmittal
by money order to all important Offices,
and a comparatively safe means by regis
ter to all Offices. Twenty five osnts 10
tho largest fee for money order You
may send $50 for fifteen cents, and it is
practically impossible for the money to
miscarry. You may register letter to
any office in the United States or Can ada,
and in nearly all foreign countries, for
fee Of ten cents in addition to the regular
postage. Registered letters are not ent
in tho regular mails, but pass from hand
to hand of postal clerks or route agents.
The person taking your registered letter
gives you receipt for it, and the law
requires every person into whose hands
it passes to produce either the letter itself
or a receipt for it. 1t is not absolutely
safe, like money order, but safe beyond
any other contingency than accident or
crime. In the case Of the money order,
safety goes beyond this. If money
order is even stolen the thief cannot col.
lect the money because he cannot identify
himself as the drawer, and must tell who
drew the order-information which ;s
sent oon6dentially to the postmaster iu q
separate letter from that inclosing tho
order.

ARTIFICIAL PEARLS. Ls.-The manufacture
OF artificial pearls ia now said to be ex.
tepsively carried on in France, tho ma.
terial used for this purpose being per.
iectlY white solution of the scales Of the
bleak, well-known fish of that country,
The solution-genuinc-is mucus which
lubricates the scales of the Gsh; it coag.
ulates by heat to thick, white deposit,
and is obtained by carefully scraping the
fish over shallow tub containing fresh
water, pains being taken not to se4le the
back or dorsal part, as these Scales are
yellow, while the whito scales possess the
value. The material is received en- a
horsehair sieve, and the first water, mixed
with little blood, is thrown away. The
scales are then washed and pressed ,Iwben
the mucus or essence sinks to the bottom
of the tub, and appears as very brilliant
blue.white oily mass 1t takes forty
thousand fish to furnish two pounds OF
the substance; it is sealed in tin boxes
with ammonia, and in this condition ia
sent to Paris. If a drop of the essence
is taken up By a straw, it floats. giving
forth the most brilliant colofs. Mere
glass bulbs, in shape of pearls, lined with
this substance, initiate the real gems with
remarkable ol, seness.

The word constantly is advisedly used, no

warmth and beauty, as one of these
troublesome, monotone shaded red in

the advantage decidedly. Take green,
for instance, green rep, which was so
popular and pretty not long since, soon
fades, turns rusty, dingy, gray. 1t is, if
anything, worse than crimson but green
carpet, particularly the olive and sage
shades, wears admirably, though chang.
log slightly If in too strong sunlight, as
all colors do more or less. With brown
and gray the case seems reversed, since
a brown carpet gets dingy, and brown
and gray combined needs a good deal OF
bright color to give an air Of comfort or
cheer to room in which it is. This is
not true Of brown carpets whose tone
inclines to butternut or maroon, but of
the cool, pure browns and grays. On
the contrary, chairs and sofas upholstered
in brown prove the most satisfactory,
perhaps, of all, since they keep warm,
rich tints and mellow shades in spite of
sun and time. Gray is very lovely for
furniture, but rather delicate. It is
especially handsome when relieved by
pufiings of scarlet, crimson or blue.

How to Stop Coughing.

the following directions, which may prove
serviceable to persons troubled with a
nervous cough:
Coughing can bc stopped by pressing
on the nerves Of the lips in the neighbor.
hood Of the nose. A pressure there may
prevent q cough when it is beginning. !.
Sneezing may be stopped by the same
mechanism. Pressing, also, in the neigh.
6orhood OF the ear may stop coughing.
Pressing very hard on the top Of the
mouth inside is also means of stopping
coughing. And l may say the will has
immense power, too. There was French
surgeon who used to say whenever. he
entered the wards of the hospital, The
first patient who coughs will be deprived
OF food to-day 1t was exceedingly rare
that patient coughed then"
