Few Rich Men in California.

The majority of the people in this
State are not rich. There was q time
when the glamor of wealth seemed to
be over all the State. There are not SC
many rich people in California to-day
in proportion to the population as there
are in each one of the older States of
the Union. There is less warrant for
costly living or for domestic ex-
penditures on the scale of prospective
fortunes Looking to the future one
might inquire what are the prospective
sources Of wealth. There are no more
great fortunes to be made in railway
construction. few or no great fortunes
to be made in mining. ventures. the
stock boards are no longer prominent.
Only the slow processes of wealth are
left-agricultures, manufactures and in
dustrial pursuits generally. which are
most fitting for q people who are not
wealthy, but who have not yet quite
forgotten the lives of their fathers and
domestic economy by
means of which large families were
well brought up, educated and sent out
into the world to make their own way
successfully San FyGncisco Batletin.

Old Maids.

Isn't it blessed good thing that the
Millennium has come, or is about to
dawn, rather, for old maids? But,
thank heaven, good, charitable Josiah
Aliens wife tells us it's no disgrace to
be an old maid, but only little un-
fortunate and unhandy, giving an un-
equal and one-sided appearance in
funeral professions; that there are
worse things than being an old maid.
and that it's possible for q true, good
woman to make for herself a pleasant
home. One room and tiny kitchen,
a window made bright with baskets of
ivy and bright -hued. fragrant flowers;
a small but seIect library, and a plain

Watch the Little Things.

There is barn upon the Allegheny
Mountains SO built that the rain which
falls upon it separates in such man
ner that that which falls on one side OF
the roof runs into little stream which
flows into the Susquehanna, and thence
into the Chesapeake Bay, and on into
the Atlantic Ocean; that which falls on
the ether side is carried into the Ohio.
and onward to the Gulf of Mexico.
The point where the water divides is
very small. But how different the course
of these waters!
So it happens with people. A very
little thing changes the channel of
their lives. Much depends upon the
kind of tempers we have. If we are
sour and il-tempered no one win love
us. If we are kind and cheerful we
shall have friends wherever we go.
Much depends upon the way in which
we improve our schooldays. Much
depends upon the kind of comrades we
have; much upon the kind of habits we
form. If we would have the right kind
OF life we must watch the little
things. We must see how one little
thing affects another thing. how one
little act takes in many others. Golden

Poisonous Plants and Flowers.

There are many plants whose leaves,
flowers and seeds contain virulent
poisons, which every one should know,
SO as to avoid them and keep children
from them. Buttercups possess a

they will sometimes lnfiame the skin of
tender fingers. Every child should be
cautioned against eating them; indeed,
it is desirable to caution children about
tasting the petals of any flowers, or put

known to be harmless. The oleander

and flowers, and is said to be a danger

The flower and berries OF the wild
bryony possess a powerful purgasive;
and the red berries, which attract chill

the laburnum and catalpa tree should
be kept from children; and there is .
poisonous property in their bark. The
seeds of the yellow and of the rough
podded vetches will produce
nausea and severe headache.

henlock is said to to be the hemlock
which Socrates drank; it kills by itsin-
tense action on the nerves, producing
complete insensibility and palsy of the
arms and legs. and is a most dangerous

gust it is found in every field. by the
seashore, and near the mountainous,
in full bloom, and ladies and children
gather its large clusters Of tiny white
flowers in quantities, without the least

wort resembles celery when not in flower,
and its roots are also similar to those of
the parsnip, but they contain virulent
poison, producing commissions, which
end in death in a short time. The fine
leaved water dropwort and the coIu
mon dropwort are also dangerous
