Flower Festival Ladies ana Ex.
cursiOn Agents.

The managers of the Flower Festival
will hold their annual meeting next
Tuesday morning at IL A. NJ, in the
office OF Judge Widney, over the Farm
ers & Merchats' Bank. All the ladies'
interested in the Flower Festival are
invited to be present on that occasion.
Also all excursion agents in the city, or
their repr esentatives, are requested 10
meet the managers at that time and
place. The intention is to begin at an
early day preparations for the Great
Spring Flower Festival of Los Angeles.
The object in view in having the excur-
sion people at the meeting is in order to
make arrangements for the arrival OF
parties from the East during the time in
which the festival is open. The month
of April will be devoted to the fete. 1t
is perhaps the best month in The year,
all things considered. If the matter is
advertised early and properly in the
Eastern States there will be thousands
of visitors who will come at that season
SO as to see the great display. The great
pavilion will be begun at an early day.
1t is one of the most public spirited en-
terprises in the city yet. Great credit Is
due Mr.. Hazard and his associates who
are engaged in the providing OF this
great convenience. The floral festival
will find it the very place for their great
fete which is to be, this year, one OF un'
excelled greatness and beauty.

Anew Dodge 60 Rsb Barksspers'
TfIlo.


A little after midnight yesterday a
man went into saloon kept by col
ored man named Brown, on Los Ange'
les street, near the hay market, and IN
payment for drink threw down $40
piece. The barkeeper tried to make
change hut there was not enough money
in the till. At that, another man who
was hugging the counter offered to get
the S20.piece "broke," and picking up
the coin, left. As he did not return in
n reasonable time the man who had put
up the money commenced raising big
row. The barkeeper, getting rather
scared, went up stairs to wake up
Brown, and whilst he was gone the man
who was making all the fuss quietly
pulled out the till, removed the change,
amounting to about Sl4, and disap'
peared before the astonished barkeeper
and his employer came into the bar
room. 1t is believed that the two fel-
lows were partners in the business and
had concocted this new dodge in order
to get away with the contents OF the
drawer. They have not been caught.

Robinson Crusoe's Island.

The island of Juan Fernandez, upon
which Alexander Sekirk. the prototype Of
Robinson Crusoe, spent his four solitary
years, has never since been inhabited
until twelve years ago, when the present
Governor Rodt settled upon it with a
small colony. Rodt is Switzer. In
1866 he fought for Austria against the
Prussians, aud in 1870 for France. After
the defeat of the French he emigrated to
Chilli and made himself useful to the gov
ernment, at whose invitation he under
took the colonization of Robinson Cru
soe's lonely island. Here he has resided
for the last twelve years as governor and
Judge. Most of the settlements over whom
he presides are German and Swiss. Near
ly all the vegetation of the temperate zone
thriyes upon Juan Fernandez.

1t was once popular opinion tina

Hence in cases of sickness many pretended
that they could foretell the hour of the

The word grenade means pomegranate,
and is so called from its resemblance in
shape to that fruit. In military circles
a grenade is an iron bar filed with
powder, which causes great injury when
it bursts.
The curious and remarkable discovery
is reported that South American shrub,
called 'aliza," exudes juice which acts
so powerful in stopping flows of blood
that when a knife is smeared with it and
used for surgical operations, the largest
vessels may be severed without any hem
orrhage.
Forks were used by the ancients for
the same purpose as they now are. A
two-p -pronged silver fork has been found
in ruin on the Via Appia at Rome, and
one of five prongs, one of which is broken
off, resembling our silver forks, has been
found in a tomb at Pestun, and is now
preserved in the museum at Naples.
A popular term formerly in use for the
nails on the ten fingers was the ten com
mandments," which, says Mares, doubt
less led to the swearing by them, as by
AlO 4
way the fingers were also called the ten
bones, and it was common thing to use
the exclamation, "By these ten bones"
Probably the first American establish
! ment fir the exclusive manufacture of
edged tools was founded by Mr.. Samuel
Collins, at Collinsville, Conn, which is
now one of the largest establishments of
the kind in the world. 1t was begun
about 1926, when the product of a days
labor was the forging and tempering of
eight brOadaxes.
The minute hand of the clock on West

the hour hand nine feet. They weigh

In a recent snow storm in London this
clock was stopped, the hands being i'm
peded by the snow.
In Lisbon able bodied beggors increase
their claims to public charity by turning

Special experts teach the art of develop

be borrowed at so much night with or
without the privilege of stimulating their
howls by additional articles.

WASHED AWAY.

All unobse1ved it started, drop by drop;
The stream grew larger and larger every
day;
And lol its flooding waters did not stop
Till it had washed the bridge of love
away.
The whole foundation, founded on the rock
OF faith, fell swiftly downward, stone by
stone;
Fell swiftly down beneath the awful shock
OF waves which beat so cruelty upon.
IT'S hydra-headi it lifted ever higher;
1t coiled its sinewy length all through the
day,
Flooding the pleasant paths where had de
sire
Walked undisturbed upon her way.
And when the nighttime came, an awesome
Showed where the hurtful food-tide had
been sent,
For desolation reigned where erst had beer
A sunlight path, and flowers of sweet con.
tent
All mel the saddest of sad sights it is,
To see the wrecks of joy strewn thick
ahead;
The sweet, sweet flowers of happiness to
miss,
To miss, and feel they are for ever dead.
To know no more upon joys pleasant truck,
Our longing feet in all the years may
stray;
Saddest of all-there is no going back,
Because the bridge of love is washed
away.

1t is reported that the car intends, in
1887, to assume title equivalent to that
of emperor over the whole of Central
Asia. 1t is said that his imperial majes.
ty will make state entry into Sammer-
cand, and there formally assume the SOW
creignty over Central Asia in the pres
cncc of all the ameers and khans who
are under the sway of imperial Russia.
This is no new design on the part of
Russia, for this scheme was for long
time under consideration by the late
Alexander H., and has only come to
light now through the indiscretion of a
high official.
