Explaining the Difference.

An Eastern paper gives the following which
is good and well deserved hit at senseless
practice among some singers
An estimable Christian lady sends us the fol-
lowing truthful hit on choir singing, which we
commend for general practice:
speaking of anthems reminds me of the
story of two old British sailors who were talk
ing over shore experience. One had been to q
cathedral and had heard some very fine music,
and was descanting particularly upon an an
them which gave him much pleasure His
shipmate listened for while and then said: Il
say, Bill, what's an anthem?' 'What!' replied
Bill, do you mean to say you don't know what
hanthem is" Not me- We'll, then, I'll
tell yer. If was to say to yer. ERE, Bill,
give me that 'and-spike, that would not be
hanthem. But was to say: 'Bill-Bill-Bill
-giy-giv-giv me, Civ me that-Bill, give
me, Civ mo that ndspke-spika--
spike-Bill, giv-give me that-that hand
haudspike, hand-handspike spike, spike,
spike, ah-men, ah-men; Bill, givemethat
handspike, spike, ah-menl' That would be
handthem.'
This reminds us of an incident once reported
colored people were the actors. The female
singers Were in the gallery, the males below.
All ready, they begin: Females: 81 want a
mani want a mani want mansion in the
skies" Responses by males: ooh Lord send
sal-send sal-send salvation down." Yet
such twaddle is in many places passed off for
worship and divine service! Strange is it not?
EVERY MAN who takes an interest in house
keeping economy will be delighted with the
results of a fair trial of PEARLISE WASHING
COMPOUND. 1t is economical time and labor
saving, reduces wear and tear, and relieyse
many woman's tasks of drudgery.

CORN DROPPING.
1t Must DO Done barefoot and With Ex.
treme Care,

Dropping corn is an art, says a contributor
TO the June number of the American Magazine
First, you must pull off your boots, or you will miss
the delicious feeling of the warm moist earth, as
the tender sole sinks TO the instep, burrowng like
some wild thing but lately returned to its native
element Next you get one of your mothers old
faded calico aprons to tie around your waist Nellie
will tie 1t for YOU; then tie huge knot in the slack
of it and YOU have pouch resembling that in
which the carpenter carries his nails fill this with
couple Of quarts OF corn-take your place--gol
Now you must drop three aud four" kenels-no
and no ess-in each intersection ofthe grooyes
Tic sharp eyes Of those who are following will de-
tect every mistake Enough If you are girl "Len"
will say nothing, but the one poor little kerr
mel as quickly as possible before the vigiant eyes
of the boss see it, But if you skilled you get the
swing oft, and every time you plant your left foot
in groove you drop three grains, fearing not tho
swift steady stroke Of the hoe behind but the soil
is 80 mellow and the hoe light and keen that one
clip Is all that the Skful coyercr gives to each hill
and he presses you hard The gait Is a rapid walk
and the dull ring Of the hoe at your naked heels Is
like the tick Of u clock for speed and regularity.
But being skilled and generous, you walk between
the girls and help them along by dropping an coca
gOnal hill on their rows

IT TOOK DETECTIVES TO FIND HER,
Yet Mrs. Pearce and Young Mr.. Whent We're
Hunting for Her Husband.

CHICAGO, June 6.-Mrs. Elizabeth Ann
Pearce, a matron of probably sixty years, and
VIM. r. WEent, a stripping of twenty or
thereabouts, were arrested today on the charge
of clipping and held in $500 bail EACH The
complainant in the case is Andrew Pearce, the
husband of the woman. Mr.. Pearce was
ship builder in London, England, prior to 1880,
when he came to America and took position
with the Hickey locomotive works at Boston,
Mass. He left his wife in London to supervise
his business there, which was in charge of
Whent, a former clerk. Pearce kept up a cor
respondence with his wife, which, however,
became very disultory On her part, and finally
ceased altogether.
Pearce engaged English detectives, who
learned that Mrs. Pearce had sold out the
business and eloped with Whent. The couple
was traced to Boston, and there lost until
Grand Trunk detective saw Whent's name
on trunk which was being shipped to Chi
cago. The trunk was traced to Peoria
street boarding house, and last night. Pearce,
accompanied by q Scotland Yard man,
and two Chicago officers, walked in upon the
couple. They denied the charge, and Justice
Woodman granted them continuance to
bring witnesses, who will swear that Whent
was merely aiding Mrs. Pearce in her search
for her husband, and who, it is claimed, she
had long tried in vain to find.

Medical Alumni Association.

The medical graduates of the Uni
versity OF Southern California held a
meeting yesterday afternoon, the
object being the organization Of an
Alumni Association. The meeting
was very interesting one from the
fact that it is the first alumni
that has been organized in this
portion of the State, and the
officers elected should feel proud
tnat sucn exalted positions were
conferred upon them. The fact,
also, that this institution of medicine
is gradually gaining ground, and is in
future years bound to become re-
nowned all over the world. not only
on account of its medical teaching,
but also on account of the many ad-
vaniages afforded it by its unsur-
passed climate, which necessarily
makes it q resort for the invalid,
should also increase their pride and
should make them feel that they are
the ones to be looked upon by that
rising medical institution as the hon
ored of the first graduating class OF
Southern California The following
were the officers elected: DR.. Chas.
P. Bragg, President; DR.. VIM. G. A.
Thiele, Vice-President; D.. A. q.
Valla, Corresponding Secretary; DR..
Ed. R. Bradley, Recording Secretary 4;

A New Coal Field.

The Southern Pacific Company will
soon commence work on the Huron
extension. This road, which leaves
the main line at Goshen, runs through
the thriving town OF Hanford to Le-
moore, and so on to Huron. Fifteen
miles from the last mentioned place
the proposed road will strike the coast
range and run six miles through the
Alcalde:canyon toward its objective
ont, which is the large coal mine Of
Messrs. Robinson q Rawlins, OF Han
ford. The output from this mine has
been tested by the railroad people at
the Sacramento shops and has been
found to be of admirable quality. The
bed is very large, one of the veins be-
| ing about 5 feet thick and another
about 21a or feet. Judging by the
indications the supply will be equal to
all the demands for a long tims
to come, and will be valuable acqui
sition to the coal territory OF the west
being hailed with especial delight by
the Southern Pacific, with whom the
fuel question has of late become {
knotty problem. Superintendent o.
Construction j. H. Strobridge was en-
gagged yesterday in inspecting the
surveyed route, and as fourteen miles
of it run across prairie country, an(
the mountain work is not very diff
cult, the line will not be an expensiv,
one to construct.
