THE WINDS OF MARCH
Could not be more blustersome than are the
heavy signs of the short-liyed month of Feb
ruary. Tennyson speaks of March as 'The
roaring moon of daffodil and crocus;" by
which he hints at an English March. In our
parent State across the mountains some
future Laureate will sing of February as the
cooling month of asparagus and new potatoes.
They say these tender esculents, yea, and
green pease, too, have come upon the Califor-
ala palate The gods which erst did smile
upon those favored mortals who drank nectar
on high Olympus and mighty mead in Vslhalla,
never had green pease in February nor new
potatoes on St. Valentines day!
OIL LAMPS.
Great is the measure of the frugality of
City Dad Look at our new street lamps, how
they furnish forth cheap illuminstion-h

certain chickering's as came upon his vision
from swinging lanUhorns whose wicks were
fed with the oil of the Leviathan of the
Deep. A dismal thing was the be-cindered
sperm! Greasy, bad of smell, uncertain,
making darkness visible, were these mocker-
les of illumination. But "the earth hath
bubbles as the water has" and from out the
bowels of the material world is drawn the oil
wherewith the surface of that same world is
lighted up, withal Gas is progress, however;
aud to 60 back to wicks is to retrograde tho
it must be confessed that many oil lamps are
better than d few favored spots made bright
by gas Why not happy medium, benef-

gas house, ere yet the electrical light shall
come to supersede them bothl
LAKE LEMONADE.

The corner of Spear and Carson streets, near

lines, and here and there lemon, have been

old bottle cork and stumps of cigars until
they have grown into a mound of no small
