just as there are always men who are not sound upon certain secular theories But they are generally old fogies who have long since lost all desire except to pray and praise, who look upon heaven as place where the redeemed shall spend their sole time in playing on golden harps and shouting 'shallelujah , who have long since forgotten that they were once young, or that 'sall work and no play makes Jack . dull boy" But the majority of Christians are against them, and public sentiment and truth are against them. Their arguments are too hollow to need answering, and can deceive none but children and fools. May the day come at last when they shall see the errors of their ways and learn true wisdom.

Some of the practical results of M. Pas teur's protective system of inoculation of an imals have been made public. Last year 80,000 sheep were vaccinated in the Depart ment Eure- et-Loire, and only SIS have died of the disease known as ''charbon," or O.o5 per cent, whereas the mean annual loss from the disease for the ten preceding years was 9.O1 per cent. Of bovine animals 4, 500 were vaccinated, and the mortality has fallen from 7.O3 to O.24 per cent. A special experiment. made with sheep gave the following result : 2,3os were vaccinated and 1859 were not all were cared for in the same manner and mixed freely with each other. Of the vacci- mated sheep only8 died, while of the unvac- cinated ones 83 died.

The bill concerning railroads which has been passed by the Legislature of California will make the railroads much trouble if it is enforced. It provides that the railroad com panies shall carry freight and passengers without discriminating in favor of one per son and against others, and shall adopt the rates of freight and fare fixed by the railroad commissioners. If these and other less ina portant provisions are violated, the offending read must forfeit it's charter.

Little Orange Street.

Little Orange Street.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL. AND COURIER:
 Allow me the space for suggestion which seems to commend itself to those who have given it some thought, viz.-in view of the early completion of the new armory on Mea- dow street, which is to have an entrance also on George street, it would be quite desirable that Little Orange street should be widened, say twelve feet, so that the military could form thereon or use it for quick communica- tion with Chapel street.
 Those accustomed to travel through Little Orange know that even now it is used much more than formerly for driving to the Passen- ger and freight depots and thereby avoiding the car track nuisance of State and Church streets. If. therefore. @ wider street is need ed now on this account, how much greater will be the necessity for it when the armory is completed? I would suggest that the houses on the west side of the street have their entrances recessed in, and it would be unnecessary on the east side as the houses set low. Six feet on each side thrown into the street would be 8 very great public im- provement. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT.

It is astonishing, or would be if it were not so common, to see how easily people can be swindled. They actually seem to like it. The revelations concerning the business done by the Chicago swindlers who professed to be commission merchants operating in grain on s'co-operative'' principles are instructive. The receipts of one of the firms were simply enormous, and those of the four concerns engaged in the business were for sixty days not less than ten thousand dollars 8 day. From January l to January 20 one of the firms received through the Chicago postofice 775 registered letters, none of them probably containing less than $1O, the price of one share, and many of them containing hum dreds of dollars. Beside these, the concern received and had cashed s2e postal money orders for an aggregate sum of $2o,416. while their receipts by express for the twenty days were not less than 1000. Altogether about $2o0,ooo is supposed to have been taken in during the month of January.
