THE RATTLE OF THE BONES.

How many bones in the human face?
Fourteen, when they are all in place.
How many bones in the human head?
Eight, my child. as I've often said.

Twenty-four ribs, and two OF the rest.
How many bones the shoulder bind?
Two in each, one before and one behind.
How many bones in the human arm
In each arm one, two in each forearm.
How many bones in the human wrist"
Eight in each, If none are missed.
How many bones in the palm OF the hand?
Five in each, with many band.
How many bones in the fingers ten?
Twenty-eight, and by joints they bend.
How many bones in the human hip?
one in each: like dish they dip.
How many bones in the human thigh?
One in each, and deep they lie.
How many bones in the human knees?
One In each, the knee-pan, please.
How many bones in the leg from the knee'
Two in each, we can plainly see.
How many bones in the ankle strong?
seven in each. but none are long.
How many bones in the ball of the foot?
Five in each, as in the palms were put.
How many bones in the toes, half score?
Twenty-eight, and there are no more.
And now, all together, these many bones fix
And they count two hundred and six.
And then we have in the human mouth,
Ofupper and under thirty-two teeth.
And we now and then have bone, l should
think,
That forms on joint, or to fill up chink.

When May berry got this letter he
ripped and swore until the atmos-
phere was sulphurous Then he sat
down and did some of the tallest think
ing of his life. There were few rail
roads in those days, and it was long

Mayberry read the letter again, fixed
the postmaster's name in his mind,
gritted his teeth. and then struck II

NUMBERS of substantial and expe.

Of the State are buying property in
Los Angeles county. 1t is but few
weeks since two gentlemen of San
Mateo came here and purchased about
fifty acres, the Holman ranch at Ana.
helm, for $500 per acre. Those people
are so well pleased with their new
home that they have purchased about
dozen lots near the center of the
town of Anaheim, and on this are
having cottages put up to rent to
the many newcomers seeking
such accommodations. Now comes
Mr.. Shinn, the well known fruit-grow
or of Haywards, Alameda county, and
buys slice of the Kraemer ranches
in North Anaheim, paying total OF
$45 900 for the land. These are straws
which indicate that the breeze which
makes the boom" still blows this
way. It will blow this way for many

to the Rocky Mountains has decreased
fifty per cent. To-day the farmers
Of the Mississippi Valley are
mortgaged up to their eyes.
Only yesterday, a farmer from Ne
braska said in our hearing, every
farm in the west is for sale, but no
one will buy them." Money is scarce,
and it is month by month getting
scsrcer. Population increases, enter
prise reaches out; but 5000, 900 oi
people have less money than 50,000,-
600 had eight years ago, and enter
prise is crippled in its onward march
for that which makes the industrial
mare go. Every product of the soil
has fallen in value; everything made
by labor is worth less money, The
millionaire's dollar brings more
bread, more clothing, more OF
the bone and sinew OF the
country, and all others linguish,
starve, shiver, perish, because
there is no money to buy the nee
essaries of life.
This is all the result of Mr. Sher
mans anti-silver policy, and until
silver is restored again to its full
equality with gold, this stagnation in
business must continue. Wheat will
be cheap, wool will not pay the
grower, laborers will go hungry to
work and cold to bed. But
the ever-lessening stream of yellow
gold will steadily rise in value, will
buy more and more of all the pro-
ducts of the land (; and for each dollar
lent the poor man the rich lender will
have to be paid back his dollar, his
interest and a large increment be-
sides-for it will take more wheat,
more hours labor, more Of the poor
mans muscle, to redeem his notes.

NOTHING can be more delightful
than the face of the country between
this city and the ocean at the present
time. The party which visited Re-
dondo Beach yesterday included in its
numbers some very distinguished
people from the East. They had
never seen our locality in its
best season, if at all and they
were enthusiastic in their expressions
OF admiration. Inglewood, embow-
cred in wealth of bosky foliage, and
environed by stretch of rolling
country clothed in verdure, was to
them revelation. In every direction
the eye rested upon lush vegetation.
The beautiful slope upon which Re-
dondo is laid cut, rose from the
beach in vernal terraces. Wild flow
ers, with their gay and various
colors, emphasized the emerald soft
ness of the rich grasses that spread
luxuriance everywhere. Indeed, Ma
ture seemed at her best, and the con-
junction of our fecund soil and quick
ening climate produced q pano-
rama Of amazing beauty. Redondo
possesses attractions which will
make her most charming resort.
She is SO situated that street will rise
above street, so that every window,
every door, will afford an unobstruct-
ed view of the majestic sweep of the
ocean. The plan of the seaside city
is artistically adapted to the topogra-
ply Of the commanding site, and
when it is carried out, the terraced
parterres will be intersected with
winding avenues and sinuating
bQulevards, The Grand Hotel, upon
which work has been commenced,
will be a central object of SURPRISING
stateliness. It's Morcsque domes and
delicate minarets, pointing to cloud
less skies, will stand out conspicu-
ously against background of
imposing loveliness. From the
ocean the whole scene is now
one of rare and picturesque beauty;
but when the site is studded with
charming villas, surrounded by lawns
and gardens and all the floral wealth
of our section, we can imagine what
lovely picture will be presented to the
eye of future tourist who approaches
Redondo from the sea.

IT appears that an Italian named
Spira invented spectacles in the four
teenth century, and he found them so
useful to persons Of weak sight that he
made his secret public, so that mar.
kind might have the benefit of his
invention. If Spira had lived
in our time, instead of giving the
public the benefit of his invention
he would have get out a patent,
founded Trust company with several
millions of capital, aud rented his
spectacles to the weak-eyed and near
sighted at so much a month.

GEN. BEALE is reported as having
arrived at Bakersfield from the East.
lie is credited with having made this
visit to California for the purpose of
subdividing his large ranches in Kern
county and putting these lands on the
m arket in small farms. The South
ern Pacific Company is at present
engaged in the construction of line
of rail road from Traver, in the central
part Of the San Joaquin Val
ley, along the Western part OF
that valley to Bakersfield, whence
a junction with the present
line will be effected at Sumner.
General Beale's lands embrace
100000 acres. He will make
roads, bitches, reservoirs and other
necessary improvements to open up
his lands to settlement. At present
these SOC, 900 acres are devoted solely
to grazing purposes, aud like all
South California was a few years ago,
this great stretch of territory, as at
present managed, does not support
on an average, one animal tc
the acre. The entire population
of this rancho numbers less
than one hundred souls. Cu'
into ten-acre farms the district is
capable OF supporting 1000 people.
The products of these small farms
will be worth millions upon millions
annually. In another decade, wher
this great change has been brought
about, if there should be Republican
statesman in the land he would poin
to these Ian Is, lament the destruction
Of the sheep business which once -four
ished there at the rate OF head pel

rule, that the Mills tariff bill was tn.

course, would go for nothing to pleae

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Quidnuncs Say That Califoru,.
Will Name the Vice.pres,a.,,.

A gentleman just from the East sta, a. a., /.
in Democratic political circles II 10 cnn'
oeded that something must be done to aeon re
California for the party. Among the Mans
proposed is to allow the State to name FL q
Vice Presidential candidate. Ex-State Sen
ator l.. J Roses name was mentioned in
connection with the mat er, and Judee /
W. Armstrong, of Sacramento, at the snS.
gestion OF several prominent Eastern DemS.
Gratis interviewed him on the subject with
the view o. obtaining the Senator's consent
10 use his name. Mr.. Rose, however. callt d
attention to the fact that he was German by
birth, and. therefore. ineligible, aud the
gentlemen who had be n considering him
were Obliged, much to their regret, to aban-
don their idea. They assert, however, that
Cali1ornia or the coast, will have the nam
ticxet.
The above is from the San Fran
cisco Chronicle of recent date. 1t
certainly would be a graceful act of
recognition to accord the naming of
the second man on the ticket to this
State. With the names of William
I. Coleman and Senator Rose to the
fore, the East will be put to her Ps.
and Us. to name better men.
