As the season advances, every cliff
gets noisy with birds--solemn rotjes,
lively doyekies and the garrulous
myrads of mollemoke gulls, which
swarm in the sea. The air is alive
with the flights of elder and specialized
ducks, and on the rocky islets their
nests swarm to such an extent as to
allow scarcely foot-room for the travel

unfrequented spots. Seals are arriving
on the coast in great abundance,
Whales arc "spouting' far out, or
leisurely slumbering on the surface of
the quiet bays. White whales and

with their gambols, and the Esquimau

Moral Courage in Everyday Life.

Have the courage to discharge a debt
while you have the money in your
pocket
Have the courage to do without that
which you do not need, however much
your eyes may covet it,
Have the courage to speak your
mind when it is necessary you should
do so, and to hold your tongue when it
is prudent you should do 50.
Have the courage to speak to a
friend in a "seedy" coat, even thO&Sh
you are in company with rich one,
and richly attred.
Have the courage to own that you
are poor and thus disarm poverty of
its sharpest sting.
Have the courage to tell man why
you will not lend him your money.
Have the courage to "cut' the most
agreeable acquaintance you have, when
you are convinced that he lacks princi-
pie. "a friend should bear with a
friends infrmitics," but not with his
rices
Have the courage to wear old clothes
until you can pay for the new ones.
Have the courage to prefer comfort
and propriety to fashion in all things
Have the courage to acknowledge
your ignorance, rather than seek credi
for knowledge under false pretenses.
Have the courage to provide an en-
tertainment for your friends within
your means-not beyond,
Have the courage to take goo

In discussing the question of irriga-
ton in California, the san Francisco
papers sound the alarm that the system
is being ovcrdone especially in grape
and fruit raising, Copious moisture in a
warm climate promotes rapid growth,
yet it does not permit trees and plants
to mature. The wood is consequently
soft and sappy, and the fruit watery and
insipid This accounts, in part at least,
for the tlayorless fruits and vegetables
often shipped from California. The
forcing process may seem to insure TEN.
porary profits, but may ultimately work
more harm than good in the fruit itself,
