Trusting that you will allow
me to extend the compass of the
argument outlined in my last letter, |
would call to the attention of the
civic authorities the new city charter
which has been framed and is pro-
posed to be adopted for the Govern
ment of Los Angeles. Oae Of the
chief objections brought against the
charter by its opponents is the dollar
limit clause. they alleging and with
reason that the amount that could be
raised by such an assessment is in-
adequate for the improvement and
ornamentation of a city so expensive
as Los Angeles is like to become. It
is the undeniable duty of our civic
fathers to convert the City of the
Angels into as desirable resort as
possible for Eastern tourists, in order
that the attractions offered by the
Metropolis of Southern California
may not pale before those put for
ward by her rivals more favorite in
their proximity to the New England
States. The more money spent in
Improvements and repairs, and the
latter is much needed on our main
thoroughfares-the more likely.is our
beautiful city to present an inviting
appearance to those who seek
winter homes. Why then should
these learned solons refuse to
accept into the CITY Treasury
an annual sum Of money which repre-
sents the interest on capitalized sum
of SIC, 900, 600? / say legitimate, ad-
visedly, for whilst l am willing to ad-
init that the State law of California is
in the letter antagonistic to this course
being pursued, most positively as
sert that there are dozen methods of
effecting it without in one iota violat-
ing the spirit Of the statutes. Think
you, most learned gentlemen, that
you can by merely exercising the au-
thority OF our police prevent the Mon
gOlian element from indulging in its
favorite passion? If, then, your ef-
forts in this direction only minim-
ise the occurrences Of the ofense
Eitaout fepressing the continu-
safrce OF II, is not better that
q contribution from the Golfers of
the gamblers Of Chinatown should as
sist In Identifying the city in which
they dwell, instead Of dribbling by
putting fees into the pockets OF indi-
Mduals? Morality calls upon you to
suppress gambling, and the captured
Mongolian tan-player scatters amongst
the legal fraternity money which,
spent upon our streets, would render
them passable to our afflicted citizens
Money is withdrawn from circulation,
trade languishes, the receipts Of half
the retail houses on Main and Spring
streets have fallen so per cent, and
all because false morality urges that
is better to discountenance gambling
as pastime than to utilize the bene-
fit to be derived from it. Monaco.

A Mexican Kitchen,

A typical Mexican kitchen has neither stove, table, chair nor cupboard, the clean swept clay floor, an adobe shelf against the wall and a few hooks and pegs answering every purpose. In the houses of the rich an adobe range is built into the wall, which is really long, nar- row box, made of sun baked clay and partitioned off into little compartments, within each of which handful of char coal may be consumed. The middle classes use big clay jar or pot, in lieu of a range, in which charcoal is also burned, while the poor have ''all outdoors for a kitchen, and build their tiny fire of sticks wherever it is most convenient.
 The cooking utensils are seldom of iron, because here that metal is very scarce and dear, but earthen pots are all most universally used, instead of the ket- ties and frying pans to which northern housekeepers are accustomed. It seems incredible that a dinner of several courses can be prepared over charcoal pot not much larger than peck measure, the various edibles all cooked in smaller pots set within it. it.-Philadelphia Record.

Illustrating a Sermon.

During Dr. Huntington's Christmas sermon in Grace church an incident oc- cured that was, to those who saw it, a striking illustration of the point made by him a few minutes before, that the difference with which woman is treated has greatly increased in Christian coun- tries during the Christian era. A lady who had evidently been late in starting to church, and who appeared to have gone to several churches in the vain hope of finding seat, entered at the north west door and looked wearily about her. Every pew and every chair in the aisles was filled, the seats against the wall in rear of the side pews were crowded, and several men were. standing. A young man occupying seat on the side bench caught the solitary lady's eye, motioned to her to take his seat, and arose. A fashionably dressed man who had been standing, and who had not noticed the lady's arrival, moved quickly toward the vacated place before the lady could get near it. The young man quickly touched his arm, and pausing to look around he saw the lady making for the seat. A profounder bow of apology than was made by the fashionably dressed man has seldom been seen within the walls of a church.-New York Sun.

Material for Successful Engineers.

A number of our leading railway shops are taking in ''engineering students" bright young men who come from the technical schools to learn the practical side of railway mechanics, and who en- ter as apprentices. They receive slightly more pay than the ordinary apprentices, but their wages are still merely nominal. The experience has been that when en- gineering students have been thus re- ceived, the benefit is mutual These young men come into the shops fresh from their mathematics and their draw ing tables, and while they absorb all that they can of the practicalities of their chosen work, they are found to be very useful by their employing officers, be- cause of their familiarity with mechani- cal theory and drawing. There are not a few master mechanics in the country who are invaluable in their places-frst class men in every respect-but who, in early life, had not the advantages of education which this younger generation of students has had, and they find many directions in which these educated young fellows are made useful. Especially useful are these students as detail for special work of investigation. They are well equipped for such work, and they know how to make good report on the Same.-Railway Review.

The Chinese Six Companies.

''The Chinese empire,'' said my in- formant, ''is divided into numerous provinces, over which the central gov ernment at Pekin exercises but little direct authority outside of the collection of the revenues. These subdivisions of the empire are under the despotic con- trol of magistrates, or mandarins. The people of the different provinces speak peculiar dialects and are exceedingly clannish. Upon the opening of emigra- ton to this country the representatives of different sections of the Chinese empire formed six companies, known as the Keong Chow, Sam Yup, Keong Wo, Ming Yeong, Hop Wo and Yen Wo.
 ''These six companies were first organ ized for benevolent purposes, and did worthy work in the early days of Chinese immigration by providing their people with the necessities of life until employ ment could be obtained for them. During latter days hovVavo,-s=a+lno5- laro ols,acot ceased their benevolent work, and their function now is the adjudication of the personal differences of the members of the companies. They act in place of the courts of the state. When a Chinaman has grievance he reports it to his com- pany, who in turn reports the case to the officials of the six companies. A com mittee of residents of Chinatown is selected, to whom the matter is left for arbitration. Chicago Herald.

Meat for Poor People.

q am told,'' said Boston butcher, "that the people in the poorer parts of New York city buy the highest priced groceries, and that the meat men say they can sell the coarser cuts of meat to the rich, but that people of moderate means refuse them. I hear the same thing from Washington and other cities. A friend of mine, man of wealth, who, like his father before him, had long been noted as one of the most generous bene- factors of the poor in the city where he lives, and with whom I happened to be talking about these matters, remarked: For my family get the cheaper cuts of meat because they are cheaper. My chil- dren are satisfied with round steak and shoulder, even if they are not quite as tender and toothsome as sirloin. They are strong and healthy and understand that such food is good enough for their parents and Is good enough for them.
 q question whether his gardener or his coachman would be so entirely ready to accept such doctrine; and if the poor people to whom in times of stress his money is given without stint are like many others of their class, not few of them would be ill content with some of the food materials that appear regularly on his table.

An Interesting Exh,b,tiou.

Parisians will soon have an exhibition of rather novel and highly interesting kind. This will be what is called an Exposition de Charges" or a collection of all the best caricatures which have been produced in France since the begin ming of the present century. All the celebrities from Bonaparte to Boulanger will, it is expected, figure therein. Fore most among the caricaturists will be Philipon, who founded the Charivari, and when tried for having disseminated the traits of his majesty the ''citizen king" under the appearance of Ca pear," asked his accusers how he could help the re- semblance between the royal face and the horticultural object in question. Neither will the committee forget those pictorial Pasquins of Paris-Robert Ma caire and Bertrand, who were also ere ated by the lively pencils of M. Philipon and his joyous companions. More mod ern caricaturists will be represented in the forthcoming exhibition by Dau1nier, Gavarni, "Chan," Gill, Nadar and Caran d'Ache, who is fast becoming famous Home Journal.

CLAD IN SHELLS OF STEEL.
Manner in Which the Finest Armor
 Were Made bv Skilled Artisans

Manner in Which the Finest Armors
 Were Made by Skilled Artisans.
 The finest arInors were made rom 1440 to 1460. They were marvels of suppleness, Gghtness and elegance. The iron shell was modelled on the body be- heath it and followed every movement of the torso and limbs, protecting with out confining them; the steel envelope had become individual and was, like hose and jerkin, made for its wearer, instead of the clumsy greaves of the Fourteenth century, made to fit any man.
 In these leg pieces, carefully articu- lated at the thigh and above the knee, personal peculiarities appear-legs slightly bowed and more or less heavily muscled at the calf; in the flexible corselet the body enjoyed comparative freedom; under the armet or round helmet the head turned easily; the pointed toes of the sollerets could be unfastened in a moment if the knight was obliged 10 dismount; the gauntlets were as supple as silk gloves, and the weight of the whole armor, composed of very thin plates of well tempered street., was so carefully distributed that 1t appeared comparatively light. This armor, nodded on the forms of the body beneath it, con- posed of polished steel, was the 'swhite harness so often mentioned by the chroniclers. In France it was worn with out ornament, but the Italians decorated it with lions heads and antique masks; a little later the armorers of Nuremberg, then very popular in France, introduced futed steel-it was stronger, not heavier, and offered more resistance to lance thrusts than the smooth metal Many beautiful specimens remain of this Maxi milan arnor, as it was called.
 No further progress was possible; con- parative lghtness, resistance, conven- fence and elegance of form had been at tained. After this time the shape of helmet and corselet was varied according to individual caprice or the latest fashion, and the steel was gilded and ornamented; but armor, having attained it's complete development, steadily declined. .-Scrib- ner's Magazine.

Among gloucester Fishermen.

Thriftlessness is uncommon among Gloucester fishermen; drunkenness is almost unknown; harmless banter and believing boasting are the nearest ap- proach to brawls. There Is a tender heartedness among them that is remark able and almost pathetic. Many go away that never come back. Stand here, if you will, at these crowded wharves and watch the arrival and departure of fishing fleets, and if you have heart you will feel something heavy in your throat. The old mothers and fathers, the younger brothers and sisters, the wives and wee fishers children, are all here, score on score. They are try ing to look brave as the vessels sail out. There is pride and loyal valor in their faces all. They shout and shout to the departing ones, who send it all back in good measure, every manner of good cheer and sea lore for luck. As the schooners clear the harbor, out past Ten Pound island, some will run away around the harbor edge, as if to keep company to the last. But those who stay, leaning far out over the dark bulkheads, look fixedly on and on until the white sails disappear behind cruel Norman's Woe, or sink behind the horizon; and if you can see in their eyes as they at last turn to the little home spot for the weeks or months of dreary waiting, there is unutterable sadness behind the quivering ids.-Ed. gar L. Wakeman in New York Mail and Express.

Battle with a Whale,

The whaling steamer Lizzie N., Of Provincetown, Mass, Capt. West, which has been engaged in the finback whale fishery on the eastern coast, when about fifteen miles east southeast from Seguin island, off the coast of Maine, saw large lone whale of that species, and at tempted it's capture. A boat was low cred and manned by Capt. West, his mate and four seamen. Capt. West, with large, heavy whale gun, in which was an explosive bomb lance, took the breach of the boat, while the mate steered When the boat was near enough to warrant a shot Capt. West fired the gun, but, as the sea was rough, the mo- tion of the boat destroyed the accuracy of the aim. The whale was badly wounded, but not in any vital part The whale then made for the boat, and in passing under it struck it with his fukes, throwing it some thirty feet into the air, with its crew.
 A5ti1e boat descended the whale again struck it with his tail and completely de- molished the boat and killed one of the crew, cutting him completely in two. The whale then commenced to bite and strike with his tail at the pieces of the boat, killing two more men, Neal Olsen and Chris Johnson, who were supporting themselves on pieces of the wreck. Capt. West, the mate and the other men were safely taken aboard the steamer and an- other boat was lowered to capture the monster. Then the whale attacked the steamer. By quick turn of the rudder the steamer cleared him by few feet. This occurred second time. By throw ing over large cask, at which the whale, thinking it was the ship, kept bucking away, the captain was enabled to get a shot with the bomb lance, and finally the | whale was killed.-Boston Transcript.
