PREHISTORIC CALIFORNIA.
Some or the Evidences OF the Existence
Of Primitive Man ON This Coast.

ISan Francisco Bulletin.l
The regular monthly meeting Of the
Historical Society was held in Parlor A,
Palace Hotel, last evening. Theodore
II. Hittell read paper on prehistoric
California, written by DR.. D. L. Yates.
It was said that California possesses some
of the oldest known relics on the CONT.
nent. The first authenticated record of
the original occupants was found on the
Table Mountain region in Tuolumne
county, and is of an age prior to the great
volcanic outburst. Fossil remains of the
rhinoceros and of an extinct horse are
found under the lava layers forming the
Table Mountains, which are 400 feet
thick, LOO feet wide and many humid
reds of feet high, where the river beds
have been washed out and have been
covered again to the depth of from
three Thousand to four thousand feet
more since the flow Of the lava. This
lava rests on bed of detritus, which is
often entered by running tunnels. The
human relics and stone implements found
in these formations give evidence of hu-
man habitants differing from any known
since, There have been found spear.
heads, pipe of polished stone, two
scoops OF stealetic rock resembling the
grocers' SCOOP, an implement of aragonite,
resembling an unbent bow, but the use
of which is unknown and cannot be con-
jsctured, q stone needle, with notches at
the larger end, and the finest charm
stones that have ever been found.
There have been brought to light the
fossils OF nine mastodons, twenty ele
plants, various pachyderms Ill the Table |
Mountains, numerous evidences of animal
life in the calcarsous formations in the
Texas fats, obsidian spear-heads, fossils
of the elephant, horse and camel about
Hornitss, bones and evidences OF prehis.
toric human industry in Tulare, and in
Trinity and Siskiyou many proofs of the
csntemporaneous existence of man and
extinct mammals.
In the San Jose Valley are deep layers
OF coniferous trees in such a carbonizsd
state that they crumble into dust when
exposed to the air. They are of tn. pill
ocene period, and show that the entire
of the region has changed,
and that where now the valleys and
are destitute of timber, there
were once coniferous and deciduous trees,
Affording food and shelter to monster
mammals, in comparison to which man
was but an Insignificant mite. In the
layers of the miocene period are found
IN California the remains OF amphibous
animals not to BE- found elsewhere.
Taken all iu all, the prehistoric Califor-
nian was being who enjoyed careless,
azy life, accounting for the fact that
here have set been found any castles or
such as are in the Miami

REMARKABLE DECISION BY THE
UNITED STATES CIRCUIT COURT
After complaint by the Moxie
Nerve Food Company lately be-
fore Judge Colt of the United States
circuit court against some of the
principal nerve food bottlers of the
United States, the judge thus enjoins
them: "We enjoin and command you,
each and every one of you, that from
and Immediately after the receipt and
notice of this our writ by you, or any
of you, you shall not in any manner
simulate nor use the trademarks or
labels of complainants specified as ex-
hibits A and b in its bill of complaint,
nor either of them. You shall not use
the words Nerve Food either alone
or with other words, upon the outside
or upon the wrapper of any package
containing manufactured fluid re-
sembling in taste, flavor or appearance
the article manufactured by complain
ant as MoXie Nerve Food" Now
this is as it should be, and the public
will be free from imposition in the flu
ture. The company are putting out a
very rich MoXie now.

Hard Work.

There is no real success in any pur-
suit in life without hard work. "
find" said Livingstone, the great mis-
sionary explorer, when addressing the
spinners of Glasgow, "that all cmi-
nent men work hard. Eminent geolo-
gists, mineralogists, men of science
work hard and both early and late"
1t matters not what position man may
occupy, as general thing, his labor
will constitute the measure of his sue
cess. Eminence in any profession or
calling is only obtained by toll There
is hard, earnest, persistent work some
where before this end is reached. 1t
is not luck, but toll, not chance, but
well-directed labor that makes life a
success. -EGchdnge.

Home Life in the Country.

In the quiet of country and even
of suburban life men ought to get more
time for communion with God. Things
are around which ought naturally to
lead the heart upwards to him. Alas!
however, there are many who have no
longing for the quiet in order that they
may have fellowship with God. To
such it might be unpleasant Con-
science might take occasion to speak
too loudly. Others only find in quiet
the opportunity of dreamy contempla-
tions of their importance. Secluding
themselves in a selfish isolation, they
shut themselves off from active service
such as they might render An Elijah
fled for selfish quiet to Horeb, Jonah
for the same reason took voy-
age to Tarshish. This spirit benefits
neither self nor others. The quiet
should be used not for self but for God.
When Moses assembled Sinai, or when
John went into the wilderness, or Paul
went for three years into the desert of
Arabia it was to serve others. So
when our great Master went into the
desert to be tempted or up Tabor's to
be TRANSPORTED or out of Jerusalem to
Bethany it was that he might come
back to be OF more service unto man.
Is there not in this hint to suburban
idlers who escape from the conflict of
sin in the city? All quiet at some
Bethany should be preparation for
the rougher work of life and for active
effort for God. Now it was not be-
cause Bethany was quiet village that
Jesus loved it, but there was one true
ha
proach to home that Jesus had on
earth. He set high value on domes-
tic life. Life in towns is less domestic
and more public. Many have only
rooms, not homes. There is so little in
them to hold men to them. Hence ex-
element in public is sought to supply
the place of home joys. When this is
the case the attachment to home as
home is essened. The house becomes
a place where we board, not where we
are at home. This is an evil. We
might lay it down as rule that in pro-
portion to the attachment of men and
women to their homes so is the strength
of nations life. There was real home
life at Bethany. In it there was true
element of Joy. All loved Christ and
each loved the other. Many were the
happy hours spent by Lazarus, Mary
and Martha when alone. But how
their pulses must have quickened in an
ticipation of happier hours as they heard
that well-known and anxiously- listened
for footstep of Jesus approaching their
lowly door! How happy they were
when they could sit round and listen to
his teachings concerning the resurrec-
ton or the Church, or concerning life
in heaven, or of the meeting of friends
there, of the occupation of the saved,
and of the last great day.-The Quiuer.

Life's Year.

In the widening circles from the distant skies
Beyond the frozen hills and prsoned zones,
Fragrance and melodies Of spring arise
Sweet breath, that breathes on air its sweeter
toaes),
Like some slow, Weakening dawn.
so comes the life which lights the infants eye;
Mysterious, gentle, gmmerng from afar;
Warmth, light-which all the forces of the sky
Have made, and not the strength of earths poor
star,
Need to depend upon
The infant prattle in each sprng-tme stream
To summer daughters frolic shouts will swell.
The pale tints of the bud expand and beam,
No longer tints, but colors, burning well;
And sensuous nature sings,
And loves and dreams and reves out her days,
As II her pleasures to make them less;
Such are of youth the gay, exquisite ways
season of luXurant wantonness
Which gives but takes wings
But summers rich exuberance must fall;
Her vocal meadows, glades and groves grow still
And nature hears complacent autumn call,
In sobered accents from each vale and hill,
For ripe perfection round.
What weak regret has manhood in its heart
For passive infancy, prodigious youth,
II in their sweet profusion grew apart
For staid maturity. the harvest truth,
And wisdom doth abound?
Nutritious satisfaction, pure and good;
The souls serenty-and ife's whole lore
Product of sweeter seasons is our food
When age drifts down and frutage smiles no
On all the dreary earth
Until the frost creeps DER the numbing frame
And snowy phantoms fit before the eye.
And DER the darkening hills. whence strange they
came,
The warmth and light fade glimmering in the sky
Which gently gave them birth.

Do not think for a moment that ca
tarrh will in time wear out. The theory
is false. Men try to believe it, because
it would be pleasant if true, but it is
not, as all know. Do not let an acute
attack of cold in the head remain I'M
subdued. 1t is liable to develop into
catarrh. You can rid yourself of the
cold and avoid all chance of catarrh by
using DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. If
already afflicted, rid yourself of this
troublesome disease speedily by the
same means. AT all druggists.
