orange plantations and gardens that
surround Los Angeles but there is
a chill the instant you pass into the
shade; you still need your winter
clothing, and if you drive, or ride in
the grip-cars, over the steep hills,
you require winter overcoat. The
night temperature throughout Cali
fornia is invariably in great contrast
to that in the day time; nearly
everywhere fire is necessary at night
the year round, and agreeable nearly
all the year, even in Southern Cali
fornia. / doubt if it is ever pleasant
to sit out of doors, or on the piazzas
at night, though it may be in the
hotter months, in the southern por-
ton. But it is very confusing to
the mind of the newcomer to re-
concile his necessity for winter
clothing to what he sees and almost
feels; in short, to get used to the
climate. The invalid is thrown off
his guard by appearances, and [
should say that there is no country
in the world where person needs to.
use more care about taking cold.
Yet this must be said, the air is
bracing and life-giving. | did not
in any part of the State, in walking
or taking any sort of exercise feel
the least fatigue. A cold, therefore,
for person in ordinary health and
condition, is not the dragging, nearly
mortal experience that it is apt to be
in the East. Then the crowning adj
vantage of the country, even if the
climate is treacherous and needs
watching in its effects, is that one
can be out of doors all the time,
nearly every day in the year.
Meantime, he can eat oranges, if he
is not particular about the variety,
and get rich selling prospective or
or real orange groves TO Eastern
people. But he will never get over
the surprises and contrasts of the
country. We went down, by rail,
eighteen miles over the gentle hills
from Los Angeles to its lovely sea-
port of Santa Monica. Fine hotel,
charming beach and sand bluffs, il
limitable Pacific Ocean. 1t was not
q warm day nor cold day, just the
ordinary kind of day TO sell (I
suppose one could buy days eli
mate there, or half days, or swap
off morning for an afternoon with
the real estate brokers-and every
man and woman is a real estate
broker), but we wore thick winter
clothing and carried overcoats,
which occasionally were needed.
Yet as many as seventy-five sane
people were bathing in the Pacific
Ocean, as if it had been August!
Flowers, fruits, summer bathing and
winter overcoats-you have to get
used of it January Atlantic.

ERN CALIFORNIA.

But it is seldom cold in The
Needles and the Mohave Desert
shimmering alkaline waste-S5 .
in March aud say 1909 to 1909 in
July. 1t does not matter. The few
people in the far-apart stations live
in houses that have a second de-
tached roof, put on like the fly of a
tent; and the heated, desolate pas
sage is providential arrangement
to lower the spirits of the traveller
to the enjoyment of the irrigated
country recovered from the desert
in Southern California. 1t is
veritable paradise, as really such as
the oasis of Fayoum in Egypt.
Heavens how the human eye does
crave the green color; how grateful
it is for field of barley, a straight
ucal lyptus tree, vines and roses
clambering over the houses, the
lustrous foliage of the orange groves
starred with globes of gold! This is
Paradise. And the climate? Per-
petual summer (but daily rising in
price). There is no doubt of this
when you reach the San Gabriel
Valley, Pasadena and Los Angeles.
Avenues of eucalyptus, pepper and
orange trees, two, three, four rows
of them, seven and eight miles long;
vast plumed fields of oranges; the
vine stubs in the grape plantations

dant; palmettos and other semi
tropical plants, and all the flowers

vigorous, ever-blooming, in door
yards, gardens, oyerrunning trees
and houses-surely it is summer.
There is snow sprinkled on the bare,
ashy hills, but everywhere in the

JENNY LlND'S HOME LIFE,

The daily life of Jenny Lind in
London was extremely simple.
Every morning at 1880 o'clock,
there were family prayers. At
these, not only her husband, Mr..
Goldschmidt, and her three children,
but the servants assisted. When
breakfast was over, she habitually
retired to her room on the second
floor, and, seated at her writing
desk, opened and answered her
numerous letters. Her room, which
looked out on a beautiful garden,
was simply furnished. The most
notable piece of furniture in it was
large screen, which had pasted
over its entire surface, newspaper
clippings from all parts of the great
singer. Next to Jenny Lind's
room, connected by a door covered
with portieres, was the room of her
husband. In it stood a grand piano
and often Mr.. Goldschmidt played
on this instrument at night until his
wife, who was nervous at times,
was, by his performance, lulled to
sleep. The family sat down to
lunch at l o'clock. Jenny Lind
was moderate eater and fond of
simple cuisine. In the afternoon
she took walk when the weather
was fine, and, purse in hand, dis
tributed aims to the poor whom she
met. When she came home she
taught her select circle of pupils,
and at z O'Clock she sat down to
dinner. She never went to theatres,
balls or operas. She never went to
hear Patti sing once, but she left the
hall before the performance was
over, saying that Patti could act
but she couldn't sing. She was
rather sensitive on the subject of
her rivals. She attended not long
since a garden party, given by the
Lady Burdett-Coutts. In the course
of conversation, q gentleman speak
ing of Christine Nilsson, called her
the "Swedish Nightingale" In
stantly there sprang up from seat
close by, an aged, thin woman, who
pointed her finger at the speaker,
and exclaimed in a voice quivering
with rage: "You are wrong, sir,
you are grossly wrong; L am the
Swedish Nightingale l am Jenny
Lind !"
She read aloud in the evening, Oh
chatted about her triumphs tc
her favorite pupils. Though she
possessed magnificent jewels she
never wore them. She was exceed
ingly fond of her husband, though
they had disagreements at times
and she always said that it was ow
ing to Mr.. Goldschmidt's manage
ment that she was in such easy
financial circumstances. She brought
up her children well. Her sol

TRIAL OF THE new WATER
SYSTEM.

On Thursday morning, Jan. 18th,
water was turned off from the
lower reservoir, to replace fracture
on the line between the lower re-
servoir and the gate house. This
house is situated on the junction of
the two pipe lines, the one from the
upper, the other from the lower re-
servoir, at the foot of Judd Hill
and little mauka of the One Mile
Bridge. In this house are placed
two Independent twelve inch gates,
one placed on the old pipe line be-
tween the lower reservoir and the
city, the other placed on the new
pipe line between the upper reser-
voir at Queen Emma's and the city,
and running directly down Judd
Hill. These two gates are operated
by hand wheels. Immediately in
front of the operator are two pres
sure gauges marked 'Valley &
. City" The one marked valley is
attached to the pipe on the mauka
side of the valley gate, and indicates
at that point the pressure of the
water from the upper reservoir.
The one marked city indicates the
pressure of water in the city main.
The water was advertised to be shut
off between the hours of A. NJ. and
d p. NJ. but to the surprise of great
many the pressure was greater in
town than it had seen before. Mr..
c. B. Wilson, Superintendent of
Water Works, having this opportu-
nifty, determined to make test of
the upper water system. Accord
ingly at $3.50 the gate towards the
lower reservoir being shut down, he
turned on the water from the upper
reservoir. The city gauge, being at
Zero, began to move and soon indi-
Gated twenty-five lbs. (25), while a
gauge applied to tap at the Pacific
Navigation Co.'s building indicated
So lbs. The 18th gate at this time
was only inch open. He then
gradually opened the gate till the
city gauge indicated 40 lbs, which
showed pressure of " lbs. at the
same tap. The gate at this stage
was about of an inch open. AT
this time a fracture occurred in a
length of pipe on the Nuuanu main,
opposite the residence of p. G.
Jones, Esq, and at 10:45 O'Clock,
the water was shut off to put in a
new length, (the difference of pres
sure at that place being 30 to 10,
but the pipe was very thin and very
much honey-combed). In shutting
off the water again slowly, the wave
force was distinctly registered on
the gauge, running up as high as
l65 lbs. on the gauge as the wave
advanced towards the gate, and
diminishing as the wave receded
towards the city, fluctuating back
and forth and growing less and less
as the wave motion became weaker
When this system is in full opera
tion the city gauge will be kept
steady at from 27 to 80 lbs, giving
a pressure OF about GO lbs. at the
foot of Nuuanu street. In time OF
fire this system will show to great
advantage. The gate operator on
receiving an alarm of fire, will turn

then replied In substance that II the outside
creditors would let him alone he might make
some money. He had not, he said, made
much money lately, because he did not have

Study of tho Irish Language.

In these days when society is always ready
TO follow new craze, 1t is passing strange
that no ono has thought of taking up tho
study Of tho Irish language. Our ears have
been greeted by raspy Italian, catarrhal
French and even Russian, Arabic and
Chinese. All these tongues have been studied
by the enthusiastic young folks, who always
attack a new thing as II they would tear the
soul out Of 1t by main strength. But tho
soft, liquid tones that are nearer than any
other language extant to the original Celtic,
which you may hear rolling so richly from
the lips OF hundreds Of Irish girls in Pittsburg,
is utterly neglected.
Here Is an opportunity. Let Bridget bs
brought into the parlor during the winter
afternoons and evenings. Let her teach hc.'
languageto her employers IN her own way.
She win probably be unable to give gram
NAUTICAL rules or to explain from a scientific
standpoint why she makes certain sounds to
express certain ideas, but she will give you
the exact intonation Of the soft gutturals,
rendering them with those peculiar infec-
lions which are never perfect save from Irish
lips. 1t may perhaps be difficult to see any
commercial use from the study Of this lam
guage, but It would surely open up a vast
library VI ancient lore that has hitherto re-
manned locked In the bosoms Of those who,
from lack Of educational advantages, have
been unable to give it to the world.-Pitts-

Wolves and Deer In Maine.

Maine historians say that over 100 years
ago wolves came down from the north and
devoured most all the deer In the colony.
Some of the deer swan to tho islands along
the coast and remnant was saved. The
wolves, having no deer to eat, turned to the
domestic animals Of the country, and gave
the settlers great trouble. The Indians, too,
robbed of their meat supply by the wolves,
were for long time in q starving condition,
and often those in the interior went miles to
the seashore for food The wolves at length
went northward, and little by little the deer
increased until 1910, when there was another
wolf raid, and for two years they played
havoc with deer and cattle. Then they dis.
appeared and have not since been seen much
in tho state. Deer are again increasing, both
because Of the absence Of wolves and because

rho triumph Of vassar collere.

Collegiate instruction for women in Amer
lea encountered the usual reception given to
all innovations. Vassar college and its stu
dents became the objects of many weak
jokes. The students were jibed at as women
who wanted to be men," as college women
have been jibed at elsewhere. The name
Vassar was carried everywhere. 1t became
typical, and still is. Other colleges have
risen, but vassar remains the womans col
lege at which the small wit hurls his puny
darts. The "Vassar girln still stands for
the girl who goes to college, and about her
we hear all sorts OF stories, more or less apoc-
ryphal The new college encountered oppo-
sition from even good people; many had
grave doubts; but the select few welcomed
It, and 1t went steadily ON its way 1t was
