what is Amiss with the Horses?

what Is Amiss With the Horses?
The climate or the groom? If even
the Oldest and the most hungry look
ing steeds who traverse the streets of
Los Angeles did not at times evince
disposition to be restive, one would
be inclined to believe that bad driving
occasioaed 30 many runaways.
Doubtless it has in many instances
much to do with it, but upon
general principles, it would seem that
the climate had even more, especially,
as that most domestic of all animals,
the cat, also to some extent partakes
of the prevailing nervousness of the
horse. California cats, unlike Eastern
cats, NEW as much when they are
well fed as when they are hungry,
while they also are much more given
to strolling about the house, the yard
and the neighbour ood. They are the
felines Of colder sections. So it is
with the horse, he is uniformly rest
less, and often mettlesome to a dan
gerous degree. In her Indian Jour-
nal, the date of which / cannot re-
call, but which was written in the
last days of some Of the native Prin-
cesses and Mognls, Lady Nugent
describes Indian horses as vicious and
unmanageable. She asserts, and
although her language is crude, her
facts are unalterable, that, unless
muzzled, they cannot be ap-
preached with safety. This,
I think, she ascribes to
some atmospheric influence, and
although Southern California, from a
climatic standpoint, is as different
from India as, politically, England is
different from the United States, it
does not seem improbable that its
perpetual sunshine and it's absence Of
cold in some way acts upon the
horses. Besides, the Mexican horses
which some Of the railroad COM
panies insist in using in manner as
alarming to passengers az it is to the
poor beasts thmselves. serve to show
that warm climates have tendency
to produce nervous horses, and that
in consequence they require moro
skillful handling than most of them
receive.

Yeuthful Prodlgies

Seldom if ever wear we'll. Like the
blossoms touched by the untimely frost
they droop before they expand. Eva
in Uncle Toms Cabin, the baby in
Hearts of OAK, the children who so
touchingly appear in The Silver King
and the innumerable other little ones
who beautify SO many other plays,
certainly lend purity and q pathos
to every dramatic performance at
which they are presented; yet l can
never look upon child artist with
out feeling that he or she is being
crushed to death beneath the
moral car Of Juggernaut. The little
mind like the little flower expands or
fades according to the atmosphere
with which it is surrounded, and
therefore the intoxication Of applause
and the glamour Of publicity cannot
fail TO undermine the innocence and
rob the child Of its childhood. Phys
fcally, too, no child il fitted for .
theafrical career; and Whoeoever sub
|Gcfs Il to It, ID taking the risk Of 9

intrusion Of too mature ideas.
Trouble and experience come soon
enough Of themselves, and therefore
should not be forced, like early salad
and strawberries, by the guardian or
the parent who is the gardener OF the
Juvenile mind. 1t has always seemed
to me that the Society for the Protec-
tion of Children should take it upon
themselves to abolish child artists !;
for, although the stage would miss
them as much as the spring time
would miss the violets, it is not right
that they should be sacrificed upon
the altar Of popular amusements.
But, in my opinion, church entertain
ments and charitable fairs, festivals
and carnivals are almost as
bad in their influence upon the
little ones as are the footlights,
keeping them up at night and expepd-
ing their nerve force when they ought
to be asleep, preparing physically for
the battle Of life. should never allow
child of mine to attend any enter
tainment or anniversary that did not
convene before sundown; while
should feel that I had done very
wrong if / had ever encouraged or
permitted any little one over whom
Ihad any authority to witness any dra-
matte performance that was not strict
ly gotten up for children. Love scenes
and duels, and the portrayal of any
of the passions are not spectacles
upon which the round eyes of inno-
cence should gaze. Many good people
who do not scruple to allow their chill
dren to go from door to door selling
tickets for this or that church enter
tainment, and who scorn the idea OF
singing or reciting in public making
their wee daughters pert, stoutly OBJ
ject to the circus as a means OF juve-
nile amusement, l do not, for al
though do not claim that it is ele
waiting, and while l am ready to ad-
NIT that in some instances it has
fostered in young Americas mind an
inordinate desire for change and ex-
element, am fully convinced that
if balanced by firm but gentle disci-
pline AMI surrounded by sweet home
influences, no boy, or girl either,
will ever be the worse for seeing q
horse leap through a hoop, an
elephant stand on barrel, or clown
fall off If an incorrigible donkey.
Certainly it is all nonsense or ex-
aggeration,. but SO is anything in
which children most delight. The
adventures of Robinson Crusoe can
not be measured by the severe rules
OF practicability; neither can many
of Oliver Optics stories. or the
wonderful tales of Jules Verne, and
nobody thinks OF objecting to them.
But genuine fiction, and the theater,
and all else which serves to promote
advanced thought and to put an end
to the unconsciousness of the child,
should be expelled from the rose
hued world wherein the baby ought
to dwell.

A Pressing Need


In Los Angeles is the establishment
of some sort of an institution for old
women. The Woman's Exchange is
an excellent establishment for young
women, providing them as it does
with comfortable, safe and inexpen-
sive quarters. The Sisters Hospital
is godsend to the sick and dying
who seek its protection, and Mrs.
Watson's Home is a haven to the
social cast-a-ways who drift into it f;
but alas for old and unprovided wom-
en-, and who, perchance, are more in
need than any other class, there is no
refuge at all. Yet hundreds
of these self-sacrificing women, well
on in years and broken down by toll
and care come here with consumptive
husbands and sons and brothers who
soon totter into graves from which
even Southern California cannot save
them, and their wives and mothers
and sisters are left behind them
poor and alone and unable to take care
Of themselves. There is not public
spirited woman in this city who does
not recognize and deplore this state ol
affairs, and who would not gladly
follow, if some one would only
lead, in the establishment
of 80 worthy a charity
Innumerable ladies have said to me
"Can't you do something toward
pushing such a movement? 1 dc
not feel competent to undertake it
myself, but should be only too glad
to help anyone else who would or
could" Therefore. as the harvest il
ripe and the field is open, will no
one or two, or more, of our grand
good women decide that what il
everybody's work is nobody's, and
that to care for her broken sisters il
an especial mission.

exceedingly gratifying. While the
number of building permits issued up
to the 1st day of August do not quite
equal the total number granted for the
year 1887, still the estimated cost of the
buildings included in this years record
exceeds the total for 1887 by nearly a
million and quarter dollars.
There are two peculiarly gratifying
features connected with this years
building record. One is that in the
year of national election, when,
whether for cause or without cause,
there is universal depression in all bus
mess, and, in some departments, a gen.
eral stagnation, the progressive contii-
lions of our city are SO great as to per-
NIT of no falling back, but, on the con-
tfary, pushing ahead of all other years
in our building record. The other is
that the class of buildings that are being
constructed this year is superior to
those erected in past years. In this we
have an evidence of a genuine metro
politan growth. And still another feat
ure of special qualification is that it
makes no difference whether it is a
presidential year or an off year in poll
ties, st. Paul keeps far ahead of all
other cities on the American continent
In presenting the most substantial evil
dences of healthy growth and a gen.
eral prosperous condition.

OUR WATER SUPPLY,

Is there water enough in the business
districts of the city to be a sufficient
protection against fire? is a question
still being agitated in the public mind,
Notwithstanding the tests made by an
expert and his affirmative report. The
underwriters association are not salts
fled with the tests that have been made,
and their arguments against the report
have succeeded. to some extent. in dis
turbing the feeling of security which
existed Immediately after the tests were
made. To those of us who are not ex-
perts, the discussion between those who
should understand all the principles of
water supply is somewhat confusing;
and especially when, in an examination
of Consulting Engineer Hills report,
we find such an apparent discrepancy
as exists in the statement made
by him in the closing paragraph
of his report and the table of fig
ures published Oh page 25 of the report.
Mr.. HILL says that 1.-The capacity of
the water mains in the business district
described is ample for the most eXacting
demands of the fire department as now
ferred to above, it is shown that in the
test of discharge of MOBILES Steamer
No. 1, which has rated capacity of
LOCO per minute, only recorded 564.SS.
Steamer No. 2. with rated capacity of
$50. only shows register of 1881. and
so on through the list of nine steamers,
with an aggregate rated capacity of
5000, showing an aggregate register of
1888. Thus we see, according to the
test recorded in this table, the capacity
of the water mains is less than one-half
of the demands of the fire department
as now equipped.
1t occurs to us that, while there is no
immediate cause for apprehension, or
really a serious reason to question the
capacity of our water supply, still there
is just enough doubt ana uncertainty to
justify the water board in a further ex-
animation of the matter and to get the
water supply down to basis that will
leave no room for apprehension. Prov
idence has favored this region with an
abundance of water, and there is no
reason why the supply should not be
utilized. There is no excuse for eeono-
mixing it. 1t is penny-wise and pound
foolish policy for the water departments of
a city situated as st. Paul is to be figur-
ing on how little water we can get along
with. We can't have too much, but
there is danger of having too little. The
good God has given us water in abun-
dance.an now,for Heavens sake, let us
be wise enough to make way for it to
flow into the city, and enough of it for
all the uses that it may be needed.

SOME RELIGION.

A clergyman, who had great spiritual
development and small financial ability.
was bemoaning one day the poverty of
his church and microscopic size of his
salary. The church edifice was old and
implanted, the pews were cushionles
and the hair sofa, that was the pastors
resting place on the pulpit, had become
so shiny and slippery that he could no
longer sit with grace.
Cobwebs hung on the cei ings, the
organ was asthmatic, and the hymnals
and prayerboOks, sans covers and in
deXes were dirty and scrubbed through
with those enhancing words of youth:
'May see you home tonight"
The pastor wore old clothes, so did
his children and, as for his wife, she
was fain to accept cast-off dresses from
the deacon's wife without conjunction
or loss of pride. Like Col. Sellers, they
subsisted largely upon their magma
lions. But whatever they sacrificed for
poverty was made up by an Astounding
faith. This they had at every meal and,
while it added no flesh to their bones
nor silk to their backs, they still bore
up bravely.
1t was while complaining bitterly of
his woes to one lady of fashion, who at
tended his church, that this pastor was
shown the way TO worldly prosperity.
The proposition as it came to him was
perplexing, for it involved on his part
sacracrifice of some religious tenets to
which he had been tenderly attached
from the days of his youth. He had be-
lieved that to teach Christ, pure and
simple, and to make the church house
of refuge for the lame, the halt, the
sick and the blind lin spiritual as well
as physical sense was the mission of
the clergy. He had carefully avoided
the ''Isms'' of theology and taught the
''lore' of religion.
He had rebuked the evil of life with a
strong voice, and preached morality,
honesty, purity to his people without
ceasing.
He had not spared the rich mans
shortcomings, nor ignored those grace
less errors of the poor that will stick
out.
The under classes of life had found
him tender, mercfful, thoughtful man,

Our farmers raise corn, cattle and
hogs, and when one of these products
fail the others are left to fall back upon.
Naturally, then, they are wealthy.
Their personal preferences for trade
lie with ST Paul, and st. Paul can not
afford to ignore the invitation held out
to her to come in.
Yankton is growing. point that by
rights should draw on st. Paul for sup
plies. We are making $500, 900 worth of
improvements this year.
AS one instance of what our farmers
could do in the way of shipments to st.
Paul, L can cite that of PEARSON IL
HOOKEM, near Yankton, who raise 60 to
20 bushels of corn to the acre, send out
SO carloads of cattle and 10 to 20 of hogs
every year.
This should find a natural outlet in
st. Paul. If Mr.. HILL will push his
road into Yankton he can haul US coal,
and take back stock and corn in such
quantities as to make the investment
profitable to all concerned.
