Mission San Diego.

We clip the subjoiued desorip.
ton of the manner In which the
roof timbers for the old Mission of
San Diego were obtained, from the
San Diego Union:
The priests who built the old
San Diego Mission in 1869 and
thereabouts, had to 60 long dis
tance inland for the roof timbers to
support the heavy tiles made of
adobe. From the old woman now
living at Jossfa Peters, near San
Luis Rey, and whom we believe to
be at least 124 years Of age, Mr.. W..
B. Couts learned that the tinbers
for the Mission came from Smiths
Mountain, at least sixty miles in
land from this city. The old lady
says that after the timbers had all
been nicely hewed and prepared,
and blessed by the priesta on the
mountain, on u certain day vast
number Of the stoutest Indians
were collected and stationed in re-
lays Of about a nile apart, all the
way from the summit Of the noun
tain to the foundations Of the
Mission buildings in the valley
near this city. At given signal
the timbsrs were sprinkled by the
assembled priests on the mountain,
and were then hoisted on the
shoulders of the Indians, and were
thus carried to the first relays and
changed to their shoulders, and 90
on, all the way to San Diego, with.
out touching the ground, as 1t was
considered sacrilege to have one OF
them touch the ground from the
time of starting till it arrived at
its final destination in the Church.
As there are an immense number
of theee timbers, 1t shows the zeal
and devotion of the Indians at that
date, and their obedience to the
reverend Fathers.

Put His Foot i'm 1t.

Railway, stepped off train in Austin
one day, to look about during the halt
Observing that the workman engaged in
testing the car wheels was more in a
hurry to finish his job than to do it we'll,
the manager seized the hammer and un-
dertook to show the man how testing
should be done. No sooner had the
workman recovered from his amaze
ment, than he rudely snatched the ham
mer back, and resumed his occupation,
not without sundry scowls and faces at
the individual who had pretended to
teach him his own business. Suisse
quently bystander told him who the
individual was, and, to remove his ap-
prehension of coming evil, advised him
to apologize. So, when the conductor
had shouted "All aboard" the son of

fractory lock of reddish hair, delivere d

Disraeli's Great Stroke.
[L. ]. Jennings,. London Letter. ]

l.. y. Jenn1ngss LONDON Letter.
Lord Beaconsfeld, with his usual bold
ness and originality, has taken a step
which any other Minister would have
pondered over for years, but at last
would not have dared to attempt. He
has made visible to the world what we
propose to fight for; he has brought In
dia to Europe. 1t has a sort of stage eff
feet about it, but in my humble opinion
it is great and mastery move. The
native Indian army wants nothing but
more active employment to keep it
loyal. To hold out the prospects OF
such employment, with its accompani-
ments of speedy promotion and advance
ment running through all ranks, and
moreover to place the native troops in
the same encampments and barracks as
the English soldiers, and let them live,
and if necessary. fight, side by side
all this will arouse more enthusiasm in
India than any event which has hap
pened in my time. 1t puts an obscure
regiment of native infantry at the foot
of the Himalayas on level with the
Coldstream Guards in St. Jamess Park.
A great 5troke, | say again, and writing
as | do before its effects can be known
one worthy of the strange, magma
tive, daring genius which has suggested
it. Russian intrigues will henceforth
make no way in India. The Sepoy is
the comrade of the Queens white soldier,
and he will be eager for an opportunity
to fight with him on the same field. The
government will be bitterly attacked for
this measure-to my mind it marks n
new era in British history.

The pure fruit syrups of some of the
soda water vendors are made from fac
titious oils that chemists have learned
how to produce. Singularly enough,
700, the latter are generally derived
from substances of disgusting odor.
The oil of pine-apples is obtained from
a product of the action of putrid cheese
on sugar, or by making soap with but
ter and distilling it with alcohol and
sulphuric acid. The peculiarly fetid
substance called fusel oil, serves as a
basis for several artificial fayors; thus
distilled with sulphuric acid and acetate
of potash it gives oil of pears; with sui
phuric acid and bichromate of potash
the product is oil of apples. And 50,
too, by other means known to the chem
list, refuse corks are made to yield essence
of mulberries, tallow to put forth essence
of melons, and the wood of the willow
tree to part with the oil of wintergreen,
indistiDguishable from the genuine ar
article.

ITE'HS FOR FIELD AND HO USE.

AFTER awhile we shall settle down
not to think so much of size in potatoes
as we are wont to do. We should bear
in mind that perfection of form, smooth
ness and color of skin depend upon the
soil. A sandy loan, we'll cultivated and
manfred with phosphates and potash,
are what the people need.
ONE of the objects of pruning is to
induce trees to take on unnatural forms.
Those who consider that certain
amount OF pruning must be done and
who go forth in ard out of season with
pruningknife in hand, are invited to
study the above definition before thew
begin their ofttimes needless and de-
structive work.
A VEAL oMELET is prepared by chop
ping little cold veal and adding to it
the beaten egg. G Id boiled ham NAV
be CHI pped and added in the same way ;
also veal and ham together, which is
very nice. Three or four tablespoonfuls
of meat are enough. A little chopped
parsley is sometimes added, but herbs
are not now so much used in cooking as
formerly.
THE soil of the onion beds cannot be
stirred too often. There is no success
without wedding thoroughly. No crop
Is surer to the experienced, careful
propagation; none more uncertain to the
beginner, than this. Better for the
latter to gain his first practical knowl-
edge by small ventures, or to place him
self under the direction of those COM
petenu to instruct.
SECRETARY Garfield answers the
question, "Why should we beautify the
home grounds?' thus: First, for the
beauty itself. Second, for what beauty
will effect in man. AS results flowing
therefrom he notes: l, an added refine
ment; 2, satisfaction of posse sion; 3,
development of new set of faculties |;
4, an exhibition of benevolent spirit: s,
higher appreciation of the created
things of God.
INVESTIGATIONS by Prof. Marklyn
and Mr.. Cooper, would seem to place rye
before wheat in The sale of nutrition.
They pronounce it one third richer than
wheat. Rye is especially richer in
gluten. This corresponds with the gem
orally received idea Of farmers. In
Pennsylvania rye has long been consid-
cred one of the best and most valuable
cereals for horses, and in Europe it is
held in high estimation for bread. 1t
winters easily and thrives on compare
lively poor soil.
The time is coming when all food will
have to be thoroughly cooked before it
can be safely eaten. Each year brings
to light some new parasite. Trichina
in pork is horrible pest, but it is now
reported that similar pest has been
discovered in shad A mysterious dis
ease broke out in New York which on
examination was found to be due to
trichina in that favoiite fish. 1t is quite
probable that in the changing of para
site life, trichina will infest the muscu-
lar system of other animals as they now
do the hog, and that all animal food,
whether fish flesh or fowl will have TO
be thoroughly cooked before it can be
safely eaten.

Intemperance Genius.

We read every few days in our ex-
changes that some man has died from in
temperance who was universally ca pable
in his particular line, and would have
done something remarkable but for his
unfortunate habit. This sort of state
ment is so common that one might be-
lieve that clever men have a natural
tendency to dissipation, Such an opin-
ion, in fact, has been prevalent, and is
still prevalent, to moderate extent;
but it is apt t, be erroneous. 1t is no
longer the fashion for genius to be profit
gate, wildly eccentric, lawless. Genius
nowadays is regulated by common sense
-indeed, common sense is the founda-
ton of real genius) J. understands cause
and effect; is apprehensive and takes
note Of all facts adapts means to ends;
is, in word, clear headed, any-sided,
practical. The old notions of genius
largely date from the Byron mania. Be-
cause Byron wrote strong, beautiful,
often licentious poetry, and got very
drunk from time to time, he had many
imitators so far as drunkenness was con-
cerned, and the crop has not yet been
quite gait cred. The imitatorsdid moth
ing like Childe Harold Or Manfred or
the Giaour, to be sure, but they drank
more gin than their author; therefore,
in their view, they were more than half
as gifted as he. They forgot that when
he wrote his best things he was entirely
sober, and when they aid their worst
things they were no doubt, entirely
tipsy. 1t is all mistake. Really clever
men seldom drink to excess. If not re
strained by moral, they are by pruden-
tal considerations. They know that they
can't afford it: that drunkenness is in no
sense indemnifying. When you see a
man habitually intoxicated, be he me-
chanic, accountant, artist, journalist, or
author, you can sa ely conclude that, so
far from being mas,er of his calling
he is tyro, if not bungler Dissi-
pated fellows very frequently get name
for proficiency and skill from the mere
fact of their dissipation. 1t is the worlds
way of distributing justice. 1t is will
ing to. admit that man is intellectually
capable, when it is palpable that he is
morally disqualified. Any one may ac-
quire reputation for capacity by showing
that he is chemically in a condition lot
to exercise his capacity. Whether
reputation is worth having at that price
may be question; but all sensible per-
sons will decide it in the negative.

CONNIE Sense.

dard scales are extensively advertised, Does
it necessarily follow that they are inferior

with thirty-three thousand thistles and
thorns for thievishly thinking to thrive

pose. But the English people are just
as unable to pronounce tue French

nounce the English tn. But it is still

a Spaniard to pronounce Madrid in

The Western Aduocate takes the ground
that the collection of tax on liquors
made or sold does not give legal status
to the business. 1t might be called
either tax or fine" and is different
from license, which is an approval or
permission for continuance of the traffic.
This seems to US pretty sensible tenn
perance view.
