The Local Paner.

What tells us so readily the STAN
dard of town or city, as the appear
ance Of its paper? And it's youth
or its age oan as we'll be determined
by the observing as by a personal
notice. The enterprise of its citizens
is depicted by Its advertisements,
their liberality by the looks OF the
paper. Some papers show a good.
solid, healthy foundation, plethoric
purses, and well-te-do appearance
generally; others show a striving to
contend with the grasping thousands
around them, trying hard to wrench
out an existence from the close fisted
community around them. An ecca-
sional meteoric display in its col
umns of telegraph, or local, or of ed
itorials, show what it can do if it had
the means, but it cannot continue in
the expensive work until support
comes, which ought to be readily
granted. A newspaper is like a
mencement, and for a few years |;
then, as a general thing, it can walk
alone, and reflect credit upon its To-
cation. Take your home paper it
gives you more news of immediate
interest than New York or other pa
pers it talks for you when other To-
calities belle you; it stands up for
your rights you always have a
champion in your home paper, and
those who stand up for you, should
certainly be we'll sustained. Your
interests are kindred and equal. and
you must rise or fall together. There
fore, it is to your interest to support
your home paper; not grudgingly,
but in liberal spirit as a pleasure,
not as a disagreeable duty; but as an
investigation that will amply pay the
expenditure.

Soft Beds.

There are differences in opinion in
regard to the best beds for refreshing
sleep, some persons advocating soft
and some hard beds. The difference
between them is that the weight of a
body on soft bed presses on larger
surface than upon hard bed, and
consequently more comfort is enjoy
ed. Hard teds should never be given
to little children, and parents whe
suppose that such beds contribute to
health by hardening and developing
the constitution are surely in error.
Eminent physicians-both here and
in England-concur in this opinion,
and state that hard beds have often
proved injurious to the shape of in.
fants. Birds and animals cover their
offspring with the softest materials
they can obtain, and also make soft
beds for them and the softness of a
bed is not evidence of its being un-
wholesome. But if il is not kept
sweet and clean by daily airings and
frequent beatings gs-whether it is hard
or sOft-it is surely injurious to
health.

newspaper is eagerly sought and it's
contents devoured then comes the
demand for national and foreign
news. Next TO the political come the
literary and scientific journals. All
these are demanded to satisfy the
cravings of the active mind. Family
newspapers are valuable to material
prosperity. They spread before the
reader map on which may be
traced character, design, and pro-
gress. If a stranger calls at hotel,
he first inquiries for the newspaper

Family NEWSPAPERS.

Their value is by no means appre-
ciated, but the rapidity with which
people are waking up to their neces-
sity and usefulness, is one of the
significant signs of the times. Few

placers or the discovery of fresh ones, and
fluctuations in stocks of goods drawn from
distant markets, with which communication
could only be had at intervals, gave even to
the ordinary branches of trade q speculative
character. and introduced large element of
risk into all calculations. The merchant
whose responsibility was undoubted to-day
might be bankrupt tomorrow. With the
development of our material interests, how
ever, all this has changed. We have now
substantial edi6ces in place of the light
structures of former times. Values of all
kinds are more stable, and our organizations
for the protection of property are as
COMPLETE AND EFFICIENT
As those in any part of the world. The tele-
graph and railroad and the growth of local
industries have insured to trade regularity of
supply and steadiness of price. The produc-
tion of silver has been added to that of gold,
and ample facilities exist for the conversion
of both into coin, which is still our circulating
medium. In short, the steady growth of all
stable interests has removed the difficulties
which beset business in the earlier times the
accumulation OF wealth has been very great,
and the credit OF our State, and of our bank
ers and merchants is in the very front rank.
The healthy material resources and the ex-
pansion of our commerce in all direction has
given wider range Of securities and broader
basis for banking operations. Situated upon
the highway to the Orient, the bullion mar
ket of the world, the advantages
of San Francisco as financial
center have attracted some of the most con-
sentative and substantial foreign institutions.
which in establishing branches have largely
supplemented local capital. Banking with
us still retains slight local peculiarities, due
to habits to which our business community
have become accustomed, and are 10th to
give up, such as the making of commercial
credits in the form of overdrafts rather than
of discounts; but in stability, in the eff
ficiency of their aid to business, in intelli.
gence and conservatism of management, our
banks have no superiors. With few excep-
tions they are joint stock associations, incor-
porated under State or Federal laws, and

larly realized; and quietly but steadily they
have bent their efforts to the enterprise of
uniting ocean to ocean by line of steel rails,
under but one management, which should
not only be much shorter. but should avoid
both the steep grades and the deep SHOWS
that render the more central line so ex.
pensive. This enterprise, which in the fore

To which it looks, and the quiet energy with
which it has been pushed forward, stands
foremost in the achievements of railroad
building, is now almost completed, and be.
fore twelve months have passed, trains Of
the Southern Pacific RAILROAD Of California
will run over their own track from San Fran
cisco to Galveston and New Orleans. The
fresh stimulus which the completion of this
road must give to the development Of Cali
fornia and the whole Pacific coast, the new
life which it must irfuse into business, is at
once apparent. With line of steamers at
the eastern terminus of the read, such as the
Railroad Company now run to Japan and
China from the western terminus, through

the Orient to Europe, and commerce which
now takes the way of the Suez Canal, or the
circuitous route around the Cape of Good
Hope. must find its path through San Fran
cisco Bay.
IT WILL BECOME POSSIBLE
To land in San Francisco immigrants from
Southampton or Liverpool, or Havre, or
Bremen, at rates which it now costs them to
reach Denver or st. Paul, and to the wheat
and other bulky articles that constitute the
true staples of California, new route will
be opened, which relieves the growers from
the disadvantages now imposed upon them by
the changes in the course of trade and the
scarcity of tonnage To move to its markets
the surplus crops of California, freights have
to be offered sufficient to attract ships from
distances of eight and ten thousand miles, and
even with these high freights, no less than
700, 600 tons of last years crop was left over
in growers hands and warehouse. But this
is not all. The long voyage around
the tempestuous Horn makes it i'm
possible to ship in bulk, and all the grain of
California has to be sacked and handled.
The opening of the Southern Pacific Railroad

make the use of the elevator system possible.

and handling, and will moreover lead to a
better cleaning and classification, from the
neglect of which the reputation and price of

in Biedermdnn's Central Blatt NO. 81, that
glycerine is substance possessing little or
no nutritive properties.
NJ. H. Pellet has tested plants, muscular
juice and yeast for ammonia. In plants he
finds it to be widely distributed. In 100
grammes of beef he detected is of ammo

Pepsine is proving itself to be of extraor-
binary efficacy in destroying worms in the
stomach and bowels without causing any
injury to the highly organized tissues, even
when it is deemed necessary to use very
large doses.
Drs. Wagner and Prinz recommend that
instead of applying farm yard manure to
vineyards, and chemical manure to arabic
land, exactly the opposite course should be
adopted to secure the best productive re.
suits.
The composition of oats, as ascertained
from 100 analyses by NM. l.. Grandeur

Alcoholic fermentation generated in the
roots of apple trees has been found by DIR.

sease in such trees. As the roots do net
sometimes receive enough OF oxygen in wet

mended.
At last there is an effort making to lay

suffering character of the American people
could not be better illustrated than by
pointing to the hideous poles and wires
of our great cities.
1t is probable that very soon the southern
part of the Territory of Utah will supply
enough of anthony for this country and
render unnecessary any importations of
that substance. The ore mined about l40
miles from Salt Lake City yields from 60
to 65 per cent. of antimony.
With regard to diastase-that peculiar
ferment developed during the process of
germination-M. J. Kjelahl maintains that
small quantity of acid increases, but that
large portion diminishes, its action. A
very little amount of alcohol checks the
efficacy of the diastase altogether, and is
therefore, in his opinion, injurious.
The proportions of carbonic acid, says
Dr. NJ. Pepper, vary at different depths of
one and the same well, decreasing upward.
There is no relation between the amount
of carbonic acid in the water and its level,
but its percentage increases with fall of
the barometer. The variations in the pro-
portions of chlorine and carbonic acid do

The county of the largest wheat area in
tho United States is CoIusa, in Northern
California, with 26l 1891 acres and 4,537, 5O4
bushels. San joaquin, in the same State,

Thirteen counties in Illinois, bordering on

els While the report of the Department of
Agriculture places the shortage of the wheat
crop at 125, 100000 bushels, il is believed an
accurate revision will reduce the deficiency
and as an offset to whatever the shortage
may prove to be, ii is to be taken into ac-
count that we have a surplus of 5000, 600 of
last years crop, and that the demands for
expectation will be less.
There has been q marked improvement
during the past week in the shipments of
grain from st. Louis, both by rail and river,
but the movement was not one that either
the barge lines or the railroads had much
occasion to rejoice over. The shipments
were; by rail 6237 bushels; by river 49, 600
bushels. The rate to New York by rail is
now 10 cents per hundred pounds, or cents
