County, California,
Recently owned by Don Juan Murrietts, con-
tanning fourteen thousand acres of land having
an altitude Of about one thousand feet above the
sea level This tract q land lies about 45 miles
southerly from Cotton. The California Southern
Railroad runs through the entire length Of the
tract. The soil in the valley is formed Of sedi-
mentary deposits. 1t Is rich. dark loam with
out gravel or bouIders. and can be easily titled
as no clay or adobe soil appears, but Is full Of
rich sediment, which holds the rainfall and pre-
vents leaking or drying, 90 that when you come
TO cultivate you turn up moist earth. The SUI
perior value Of this soil Is its closely underlying
supply OF water, and when cultivated the moist
ure rises to the surface, doing away with the
necessity OF irrigation almost entirely, but in
case Of dry season, irrigation be thought nee
essary, an
Inexhaustible Supply Of Water
Can be had by sinking from to 10 feet. Iii
also 10 the artesisn belt and artesian water can
be easily obtained. The mesa Is formed Of un-
duiating lands OF reddish -colored soil mixed with
decomposed granite on the surface, with enough
mixture Of clay ia the subsoil 70 hold the moist

Fine Running Stream of Water
With several branches running through the
rancho. Also several hot and warm springs
noted for their cure OF pulmonary diseases.
These springs will be improved Immediately. and
the Company design building hotel and Rail-
road depot on the town site. Both buildings
will be handsomely ornamented The hotel will
be built two stories high and contain thirty
rooms
The Directors Of the Presbyterian College Of
Chicago design putting college building on the
ground as soon as practical. There is piepsy Of

rancho at from - to si.5n per cord and common
lumber can be delivered .. s25 per tbonsand.
The climate is healthy, The rancho Is not
more than is miles from tho sea coast and the
tcean breeze fans the valley, purifying the at
mosphere WITH invigorating effect. In the day
time the air is soft and dry and always mild. a
little cooler at night, but never more than being
comfortable.
As health resort. none in Southern California
can surpass in natural advantages this beautiful

Our Young Folks.
EARLY IND LITE.

When Tom was a boy it was often said
mat ne never wanted to go to bed;
Ana ne really appeared to take delight
IN running about the streets at night.
An. much too long would have been the day,
Anu weary enough he'd ave been of play,
II this very wide-awake little chap
HAD not extended his morning nap.
He'd sit sit up with the owls, and with eyes as
AS theirs, oh, ever so late at lights;
But no one had a chance to remark
mat IhOmaS ever arose with the lark.
Fairly to bed and early to rise
VIII make u man healthy, wealthy and WISE
Was an old-fashioned notion. Thomas said,
And well enough for a sleepy-head.
But as Tom grew older he left the owls,
AND initiated domestic fowls
by going to bed, oh. not az he used,
But as soon as the chickens began to roost.
And he bad no patience. I've heard them say,
Witt, those who wanted to sleep all day,
For he was around and out.of-doors
IN the early morning doing his chores.
And that is the way we turn about
From youth to age. there isn't Il doubt;
AND the very things that we once despised
Become the things that are highly priced.
ana II when YOU young you take delight
In being up with the owls all night,
When you are old you'll think it absurd
10 copy the ways of 80 dull q bird.

A Wise Man, Indeed.

He must be a wise man indeed, who>
being an habitual whist-player,' is aware
that he is a bad one. In games OF pure.
skill, such as chess, and in a less de-
gree billiards, q man must be q foo4
who deceives himself on such a points.
but in whist there is a sufficient amount
of chance to enable him to preserve hiss
self-complacency for some time-let us
say his lifetime. If he loses he as
cribes it to his '.infernal luck" which
always fills his hands with twos and
threes; and if he wins, though it is by
a succession of four by honors as long
as the string of fo~ur-in-hands when the
Coaching Club meets in Hyde Park, he
ascribes it to his skill. eff i hadn't
played trumps just when I did," he
modestly observed to his partner, ..all
would have been over with u.s. though
the result would have been exactly the,
same had he played blindfold. To an
observer of human nature, who is not
himself a loser ION the day. there
are few things more charming than
the genial, gentle self-approval of two
players of this class who have just de-
feated two experts, and proved to their
own satisfaction that if fortune gives,
them ga fair chance" Or something
like equal cards. as they term the con-
ditions of their late performance, they
car play as well as other people. OF
course, the term ''good play is a rela-
tive one; the player who wins applause
in the d"rawing-room is often thought
but little of in places where the rigor
of the game is observed; and the 'sgood,
steady player" of the University
Club is not d star of the first magnitude
at the Portland. The best players used
to be men Of mature wears; they are
now the middle aged, WHO, with sufi-
cient practical experience, have derived
their skill in early life from the best
books. "It is difficult to teach an old
dog new tricks and for the most part
the old dogs despise them. When T
hear my partner boast that he is "nona
OF your book players" I smile court
eously and tremble. I know what wilt
become of him and me if fortune does
not give him his ''fair chance and I
seek comfort from the doctrine Of
chances which tell me it is two to one
against my cutting with him again.
How marvellous it is, when one comes to
consider the matter, that a man should
decline to receive instruction on a tech
meal subject from those who have emf
nently distinguished themselves in it,
and have systematized for the benefit Of
others the results of the experience of q
lifetime! With books or no books, tits
quite true, however, that some men.
otherwise of great intelligence, IAN
never be taught whist; they have had:
every opportunity of learning it-have'
been born, as it were, with the ace Of
spades in their mouth instead of a silver
spoon-but the gift of understanding is
denied them: and though it is ungallant
to say SO, l have never known a lady to
play whist well.-London Times.

If there is any such boy who may
read this, let him consider a moment
My cheerful young man, are you surS
you know what you are talking about?
What do clerks earnp How much does
a young doctor receive? Oh! but you
don't mean to be q poor clerk. You in
tend to be a great lawyer with ten
thousand a year, or a doctor with a car
riage. Charmed TO hear it. 1t is .
noble resolve, but are you sure you will
get there? Really, now, how can q
young man tell, how can he be sure he
will succeed? In this way: A man
succeeds who falls in love with his
work. He thinks about it day aud
night, he studies IL; he reads all he can
find on the subject. He tries and tries
till he can do it well. Then it is he
succeeds. You do not care much about
medicine; you have no burning desire
to study this magnificent machine, the
human body. You don't care very
much for dreadful work in hospitals,
and yet you to be a doctor. You
would secretly much prefer to have q
kit of carver's tools, but of course YOU
could never be q carver by trade.
Let us stop here. This is the sum-
ming up of a vast deal of homcly wis
dom. DO you love any work?s Is there
anything that, if you were independent,
you would do before anything else? IL
there is-do that. There is your sue
cess; that way lies all the money, the
rewards, the respect Of others, and all
the real honest happiness you will ever
lind. Boys make a mistake in thinking
that only the lawyers and doctors and
merchants succeed. 1t is a terrible
blunder to leave a trade in which YOU
make a first-rate workman, and have 8
chance to win a home, comfort and in-
dependence, to go into a profession
you do not love. There is only n end
to that road-a life of ill-paid drudgery,
and failure after all.
Look at yourself; you are to yourself.
the most important person in the world
Find out what sort of a man you have
in the little. What is your body good
for? What sort of a mind have you re-
ceived? Look to your tools, your hands,
your senses, your brain. What with
they do best-make shoes or preach q
sermon? Choose now according to your,
tools, according to your love Of work,
onoe-maklng may lead to q great fort
une, while preaching may bring you to
the "Home for Decayed Parsons" On
the other hand preaching may be the
thing. There is only one fellow can
decide this for you, and he lives in your,
house.
Let no boy imagine that the trades do
not lead to fortune. Let n % boy think
because he sees some workmen are al
ways poor, that all are poor, or all stay
at the bench all their lives. There e
really to-day no surer road to success;
and fame, and all good things, than byi
the way of the bench and the anvil. Lett
the weak and the feeble-minded selE
ribbons and keep day-books. That road
is not for the brave, the strong, the lov-
ers of good work. What can you do?,
DO what you a best.-CAarles Barr

Cough.

The question is frequently asked
''What is good for a cough?" In the
absence of any information concerning
the nature of the cause of the same, we
must reply that cough is not q disease.

of many diseases; it varies in character
according to the nature of the particu
lar disease with which it is connected,
and, in any instance, it can be safely
lnterfered with or healthily removed.
only by attacking or curing the disease
or diseases which occasion it. Coughs
of different kinds attend almost all dis
eases Of the respiratory organs, from
the slightest to the most deadly-catarrh
pneumonia, pleurisy, consumption,
asthma, or thick wind and broken wind;
and they do not only indicate the exist
ence of these diseases, but, by their
different kinds of sounds, actions, and
sympathies, materially assist us to dis
tinguish each of the diseases from the
rest. Other coughs, especially such as
are chronic or of long continuance are
occasioned by. diseases which might
seem to have little OF no special connec-
ton with the air passages-particularly
by diseases of the liver. diseases of the
stomach, irritations Of the intestinal
canal, and a great variety OF nervous
disorders. Nervous or spasmodic
coughs are. of course, far more numer-
Gus and diversified in the human sub
ject than in horses and cattle; but
coughs are perhaps quite as many and
troublesome. A cough, ever before
affecting the horses 'wind," though
usually spoken of as a disease, under
the name of chronic cough may he a
symptomatic disorder of very diversified
cause and nature, which ought to be at
tackled only through the disease which
occasions it. When developing itself
into severe or permanent injury OF the
respiration, it becomes identified witn
what is commonly called thick wind
and broken wind.-Prairlc Farmer.
