On Wednesday evening Thomas
Mast, the great. caricaturist, will lec-
ture at the Pavilion. OF Mr.. Mast
the San Francisco Examiner speaks
as follows:
Thomas Mast entertained another
audience for nearly two hours last
night, at Metropolitan hall. with his
talk about caricature and his drawings
on the stage. His discourse was
light and pleasant, serving merely to
connect the sketches. He is humor-
some in speech, and self-possessed
enough to take advantage of unfor-
seen incidents. Last evening, while
portraying expression in animals, he
dashed off the outlines of what he
said would be dog.
cts cat!' involuntarily ex-
claimed lady in the audience, and
as everybody else had been silently
and intently watching Nast's opera
tions, the remark was heard through
out the hall. Mast joined heartily in
the laugh, and then with few
strokes of his brush pictured a cal
with arched back and raised tail on
the rear fence.
The hearers applauded vigorously
when he mentioned his cartoons oil
the civil war and those that aided tc
break up the Tweed ring.
The work OF the caricaturist, he
said, is opposed to that of the real
ist. The latter softens and beauties
a portrait as much as possible with
out losing the likeness, while the
other exaggerates peculiar features
He illustrated this point with heads
of himself.
He also displayed his talent fol
rapid work with oils, painting in two
minutes a canvas which looked gooC
deal like one of Keith's shown at re
cent exhibitions.

Frou Frou for that occasion. 1t was
Rhea who presented to the public of
this city the first play witnessed at
the Grand Opera House, and resi-
dents of this city at that time well
remember the occasion. Mr.. Conant
was at the Opera House at that time,
and his face was then almost as
strange to the public as the theater.
Now he is known to almost every
body, and his courteous treatment of
all has won him friends at every fire.
side. 1t is certain, therefore, that on
Friday night there will not be vacant
seat in the house, nor would there be
if the theater was double the size.

RAMONA.
A Colony of Journalists to be
Founded There.

founded There.
Los Angeles journalists have had in
mind for some weeks past a rather
novel enterprise. The newspapers OF
Los Angeles are happy in the posses
sion Of really superior class of men
in all their departments. There are
here much larger proportion of men
of mature years, of experience in the
affairs of life, married and otherwise
pledged to conservative course OF
life than could be found in most cities
in the land. These men want homes,
and their novel scheme is in the
direction of securing them.
The details of the plan have been
made public through the HERALD
from time to time, and readers OF
this journal are more or less familiar
with these.
A portion Of these newspaper people
has selected Ramona as the place.
Major w. R. Burke and Hon. j. De.
Barth Shorb are the persons mainly
interested in the townsite known as
Ramona, which is situated in the San
Gabriel valley west Of the Alhamb bra
and south of the San Gabriel winery,
1t is called by the railroad people
Shorb's switch. 1t is about three
miles east OF the eastern limits of the
city of Los Angeles.
The world knows the perfection OF
the climate of the San Gabriel Valley.
Even in Los Angeles county that sec
ton bears the palm. The view is un-
surpassed in all the elements of a
perfect landscape. In the foreground
lies the Alhambra, and in the
far distance the great range
of mountains rises on nearly
all sides. They are from 10 to 81
miles away from the Ramona town.
site. In the middle district lie Pasa.
dena, the Raymond hotel, the st.
Gabriel Mission Church, and further
off the town of Monrovia is distinctly
visible perched against the mountain
side. The broad expanse of the Azusa
valley is spread out in full view also
A block between the Mission road
and Ramona avenue has been selected
and divided into twelve half acre lots
around which trees are already being
planted. Upon this block a dozer
handsome villas will be erected within
the next sixty days, ranging in cost
from 81 800 to $1,000, a number O.
plans being already in the hands ot
architects. The following are the
names of those who will constitute the

The rapid transit railroad, from Los
Angeles to Monrovia, will be running
half-hourly trains from the city to
Monrovia within month, and the di-
rectors of the road have very literally
offered the colony the use of special
engine and car, to make trips after
the last regular train has left. A
large brick block is about to be COM
menced by San Francisco man, and
there is no doubt that within a few
months Ramona will be a scene OF
busy activity. Nature has done her
best to make this one of the most
attractive spots in the neighbor.

The water supply at Ramona is
ample and OF the purest quality.

at is not every owner of canary
birds who knows how to properly
feed and care for one,' said Sixth
avenue bird fancier to me yesterday.
Their singing qualities, and even
ther lives, depend to great extent
on healthy surrounding. The first
requisite is suitable cage. Many
will buy Il painted one, and after the
bird dies they will wonder at the
cause. II they would look at the
wires of the cage the paint would be
found to have been pecked off. The
white lead in it il sufficient to kill
any bird. Nothing but plain brass
or iron wire cages should be used,
and in no case should paint be en-
ployed. The brass cage is only dan
gerous when not kept clean, as ver-
digris will collect in the crevices. The
best article for cleaning this cage is
paste composed of ammonia and
whiting, which must, after applica-
ton, be thoroughly rubbed off with
a soft, dry cloth. The inside of any
bird cage should be kept as clean as
possible, in no case allowed to go
more than one day without being
thoroughly renovated. Fresh drink
ing water should be given every day,
taking care to keep the cup clean.
Some birds at first evince reluctance
te bathe. They must be trained to
do this by sprinkling water over them
until liking for it is acquired for
without daily bath cleanliness and
health cannot be had. In feeding II
bird nothing is better than plain
canary seed. Many people use mix
ed seed, but "A too liberal use of this
is likely to cause the bird to grow
fat, and onless the cage is large
enough to permit of free exercise
death will result. Sugar, cake or
other sweets are very injurious.
Neither conduces to health, while
everything of a saccharine character
tends to weaken the voice, Almost
anything green is excellent besides
delighting the bird. No cage is per-
fectfully equipped without II piece of
cuttlefsh Ifthese simple requisites
are faithfully obserbed and the cage
kept in n dry corner of the room
where no draft will:ever strike it, the
trouble will be amply repaid by hav-
ing n healty, songful bird-EI.
