PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation Of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and .ich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are we'll
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blaeken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTEgs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

heavy, silver-mounted whip he had in
his hand upon the armed breast of the

The blow was scarcely struck when
the picture swayed, Henry having bare
" time to spring aside and drag Janet
with him as it fell, with frightful crash,
amid dence clouds of dust.

''0h, Henry Lookp' cried Janet, as
the cloud ofdust gradually cleared away.
There is door behind the picture!
What can it be-"
There was, indeed small door, with
an old fashioned handle, which had been
completely concealed by the fallen por-
trait. Henry sprang forward and en-
deayored to open it.
Janet, this Is the entrance to some
secret passage, no doubt. How the door
sticks? Halat last.n
With a vigorous tug he pulled it open,
and they both peered eagerly into low,
dark passage.

"Do not come, Janet, lest you--"
''Oh, l must come, too. Henry. Do
let me-"
Who could resist her pretty, pleading
face? Certainly not Henry; so the two
entered the passage, stopping lest they
should strike their heads, Henry going
first, with Janet holding his hand.
Suddenly he stumbled, and STOPPING
down, cried:
Here's box, or something, Janet;
let us so back to the light and see what
it is"
Back they went, and found that the
box was evidently an old desk or dress
case; it had been once very handsome,
and was locked.
BY Jovel" cried Henry, excitedIy,
this is an adventure. l must break the
lock, Janet"
He raised his heavy whip, and with
one blow scattered the lock. The lid
sprang open and Janet uttered a cry.

The glorious rain continued night before
last and yesterday at intervals, and in the
afternoon and evening assumed more the
character of "April showers" than of q
steady storm. There were several brief thun.
der showers during the afternoon and the
peals were louder than is often heard on the
Pacific Coast where the new conner fire..
quently hears from enthusiastic climatologists
that we never have any thunder nor light
ming. Il is, however, rarely that thunder is
heard as loud here as yesterday. In reference
to the storm Sergeant Barwfck states that at
noon yesterday the barometer was falling
steadily from Olympia to Red Bluff, and
slowly rising from the latter point to San
Diego. The portion of this storm giving the
greatest amount of precipitation seems TO
have been at and near Visalis, for in eight
hours 2.13 inches were plecipitated. There
were 2.46 inches fell at Visalia up to noon yes
terdsy, against Is at Sacramento.
The total rainfall at Sacramento for the
storm up to P. NJ. last night was 2 90 inches;
making the same amount for the month
GO inches for the year and Is is inches for
the season. The rainfall to an equal date for
the seasons Of 1878 was % So inches; for
1878 Q, 1850 inches; for 1879 so, 10 80
AhSHCb tuE 1OCO-is 4CC1
14.07 inches. The average rainfall for the
past sig years, to the 9th of March CT each
year, was 1868 inches. The present seasons
rainfall Gas compared with the average for the
past six seasons, is 3.44 inches deficient.
At s P. NJ. last night the weather report
showed the barometer to be falling from
Olympia to Red Bluff, and rising from the
latter point to San Diego, the wind being
southerly, with tendency to the westward,
and if SO the storm will have passed us on
its eastern journey but the extremely low
barometer from Olympia to Roseburg, and
still falling, may be the effects of
another storm wave at sea, approach
ing the northern coast. The weather is
light rain at P. NJ. last night at Olympia,
Portland, Sacramento and San Diego, with
heavy rain at Los Angeles, cloudy at Red
Bluff and Visalia, fair at San Francisco and
threatening at Roseburg. The storm reached
San Diego sometime yesterday between 12M.
and P. NJ, for it was only cloudy at II NJ,
while at s P. NJ. there had been .13 of an
inch, and it was still raining at that hour Is
P. NJ. The rainfall for the entire storm from
Olympia to San Diego is as follows: Olympia,
1.73 inches Portland, OF inches Rose

2.29 inches San Francisco 2.03
inches; Visalis, &c inches Los Angeles.

At o'clock this morning the clouds were
broken, but the wind was in the southeast
and gave appearance Of still further rainfall.
