The Original State of Man.

In the cycle of phenomena presented
by the life of man, the animal, no
more moral end is discernable than
in that presented by the lives of the
wolf and of the deer. However i'm
perfect the relics of prehistoric men
NAV be, the evidence which they afford
clearly tends to the conclusion that,
for thousands of years. before the
origin of the oldest known civilizations,
men were savages of very low type.
They strove with their enemies and
their competitors; they prayed upon
things weaker or less cunning than
themselves; they were born, multiplied d
without stint, and died, for thousan S
of generations, alongside the MANI
moth, the urus, the lion, and the
hyena, whose lives were spent i'll the
same way; and they were no more to
be praised or blamed, on moral
grounds, than their less erect and more
hairy compatriots.
As among these, so among primitive
men, the weakest and stupidest went
to the walk while the toughest
and shrewdest, those who were best
fitted to cope with their circumstances,
but not the best in any other sense,
survived. Life was continual free
fight. and beyond the limited and tenn
porary relations of the family, the
Hobbesian war of each against all was
the normal state of existence. The
human species. like others, FLASHED
and floundered amid the general
stream of evolution, keeping its head
above water as it best might. thin king

was the constant companion of the
children in the summer during their
rambles over the hills. as well as at

ly wrote to the boys at the mill, ask
ing them to send the dog down as soon
as possible. Not wishing to wait Il
week or so for the stage, tie men built
a raft and on top of it made large
box and placed some hay in the bottom.
Nero was put in, and the raft started

A Winter Drought.

The writer spent three months OF the
winter of lSS6-'87 in and around the
cities of Los Angeles and Santa Bar
bara in Southern California. The
previous summer had been no excep-
ton to the rule, and the whole country
received no rain from the last of April
until the close of the year. In fact,
the long-expected rains did not come
until the middle of February, and we
left in the midst of the raging floods.
The wild plants, therefore, which were
in bloom from December until Feb
ruarv, had not felt the invigorating
influences of water from the clouds
for nearly ten months.
1t is the purpose of this paper to call
attention to the Understanding
plantsfound upon the highlands, OF
at least not growing along the streams
or within easy reach of water coming
from any natural springs or Other
perennial sources of moisture. The
roadways for example, during the
winter, were deep with dust. and every
passing breeze carried the impalpable
powder in a fine cloud over all sur
rounding objects.
The first plant bearing blossoms
| that attracted our attention was the
western bindweed (Con0otoul"s occt

twining herb seemed to flourish in thu

Winter blossoms in California.

The orange, lemon, and lime, in the
genus Citrus, are all examples of
plants that may have flowers and ripe
fruit at the same time. This is most
frequently true of the lime, next of
the lemon, and least of the orange.
However, it was not difficult to find
orange-trees as early as December
bearing a ripening crop of fruit in
termingled with sprays of the famous
fragrant flowers. The most impress
sive floral display was in the almond
orchards, where, rising from the dry,
cleanly-kept soil, there were thou
sands of peach-like trees in straight
rows, still without leaves, but in full
bloom. The whole area was one vast
sea of pink or peach-color, and the
January air was full of the humming
bees and lazy butterflies which were
here finding so much 10 eat that life
seemed almost burden to them. AS
with some other species then in bloom,
the almond-trees had been encour-
| aged by the dry. warm winter, and
had blossomed earlier than usual:
This is dangerous event, for, shoul q
the subsequent weather be cold and
wet, the fruits blight, and the crop1s
much injured.
The leading winter-fowering orna-
mental shrubs are the roses, OF Which
enough in praise can not be said. The
heliotropes have wealth of bloom,
and fragrance that scents the whole
air. Geraniums (Pelarqoniunls) cover
the sides of houses, and display blaze
of scarlet flowers. When water Is
supplied, the whole list of garden
flowers may be obtained in midwinter'

Two False starts.

Two millionaire Musicians.

Andrew Carnegie, the millionaire
manufacturer and author, adds an en-
thusiastic love of music to his other
accomplishments. He is a connoiss-
eur in the matter of voice, and has a
fine taste as to the involved compo-
sitions of modern musical writer's.
Before his marriage there was no more
ardent patron of amateur talent than
Mr.. Carnegie. He never lost an op-
portunity of being present when invit-
ed to frequent the somewhat harrow
ing musicales which prevail in society.
Many an ambitious singer and pianist
of these exclusive circles have glowed
with pleasure when praised in the
energetic way of the author of ''Tri-
umphant Democracy.
One of the countrv's wealthy men
who may be said to have the musical
craze is Alfred Corning Clark,
only surviving son and heir of the late
Edward Clark of Singer Sewing Ma
chine Company fame. The elder
Clark died some eight years since,
leaving an estate, the present value of
which is at least $50,000,OO0. His son.
virtual master of all this great wealth,
is a most modest and transformations
man. He lives quietly. gives no ex-
expensive entertainments, aud his
philanthropies are rarely published.
There is, however, scarcely another
wealthy man in the city who does more
good with his money than Alfred
Corning Clark. One of his favoritc
schemes of charity is the helping along
of struggling musical geniuses who
lack the Withal TO pursue a course oi

city, studying at Leipzig. whose com

in the musical world, young mar

Marriage in India at the Present
Day.

The following is an abstract from a
letter received short time ago from
India:
LAS write, there is terrific din
going on next door, which is made by
natives that are celebrating the mar
riage of their children, who to Judge
by looking at them, are about y years
of age. The celebration was COM
menced last Tuesday (to-day is Sun
day), and it has been kept up day and
night ever since. The music is pro-
duced from an old keg, with one head
knocked out and covered with sheep
skin, upon which they beat with their
hands, which is called a tom-tom.
There is one other instrument in use
which sounds very much like a bag
pipe and q tambOurine. There is no
harmony IN the sound that they make,
and, in fact, all they seem to want to
do is make a noise. This is accom-
panied by chant by the females.
W ich is very much like the sound a
saw makes when it strikes a knot in a
log.
at is the custom of Indian parents
to make match for their children
when they are born, and then, be-
tween the age of II and u. they cele-
brate the wedding with feasting and
rejoicing according to their means.
Their parents will stint themselves for
years before and after the event, so as
to make a great show. After the cere-
mony the bride and bridegroom are
separated, and do not meet until the;'
are of age, when, if the man does not
like the woman, he is not compelled to
live with her, but he must support her,
But | am told that cases are rare of the
husbands refusing to live with a wife
of his parents choice.
''The first intimation | had of the
arrival of the bride and bridegroom
was hearing full brass band. where
upon left this letter and went out to
see the fun. First came $50 children,
each carrying lamp, and followed by
thirty or forty men, who amused
themselves by firing off fireworks.
They were succeeded by the band.
and directly behind this came what is
called here 'pilekene.' To get good
idea of what this latter article is, inn
agine small pagoda with no sides.
This was decorated with all kinds of
silks and gold and silver trimmings,
and with a lamp hung in every place
in which it was possible to put one.
This was borne upon the shoulders of
fourteen men, and inside sat the bride
groom, very richly dressed, with his
parents. At the door of the house the
procession stopped, where the rite of
sprinkling him with rice was gone
through. after which he entered the
house, where he remains for three
days, and then he returns home to
await his coming of age" ."-Bostos'

A wild duck with widespread wings
of enamel on silver is a unique idea in
brooches.
A pretty idea in scarf-pins is crab
in green enamel, with claws and an
edging of gold.
A Roman AK of gold, in the center
of which is set an ancient Roman coin,
is an odd brooch recently seen.
A pretty matchbox recently seen
represented a half-burnt cigar in gold.
The ashes were of oxidized silver.
A unique idea in scarf-pins is Il fish
ing-rod of gold with suspended line.
On the end of the line is a small dia-
mond.
In watches style recently seen was
/ silver case shaped as horseshoe
and topped with large bit of the
same material.
1--WE fishing-rods of gold, crossed
and supporting in tie center fish and
fish-bag of the same material, is an
attractive brooch.
An OWLS head of Roman gold, con-
necled bv means of two links to tree
bough of the same material, does ser
vice as cuff-button.
A large huntsman's horn of gold, in
the center of which is the head of n
fox held in place by a large hunting

gether at the center with a golden rid
ing-whip,- over which lies jockey
cap of opals and diamonds, is Il pref
ty brooch recently seen.
The figure of female of silver-gilt
bronze, dressed in the old German
style, with long, wide, bottomed skirts,

is being introduced as revival of a
medieval fashion.
An extravagant idea in drinking
horns OF wassail cups is Il fish OF
bronze, the whole body of which is
covered with series of enameled pic
lures representing various toasts. The
