Wash Your Hands Frequently.

Cases of infection that could be ac- counted for in no other way have been explained by the fingers as vehicle. In handling money, especially of paper, door-knobs, banisters. car straps and hundred other things that every one must frequently touch, there are chances iunumerable of picking up germs of typhoid, scarlatina, diph- thcria, smallpox, etc. Yet some per sons actually put such things in their mouths, if not too large! Before eat ing, or touching that which is to bo eaten, the hands should b3 immediate ly and scrupulously washed. We hear much about general cleanliness as "next to godliness.n It may be added that here, in particular, it is also ahead Of health and safety The Jews made no mistake in that except they washed they ate not" It was sani- tary ordinance as well as an ordinance of decency.

AN HERCULEAN TASK.
4 Problem in Multiplication Which Is Not
 Easy as II seems.

as Easy as II seems.
 A problem that at a glance seems easy enough to tempt many a school boy to spend portion of his vacation in an endcavor to solve it, appeared recently in d Maine journal and is as follows: Take the number 15. Null tiply it by itself and you have 225. Now multiply 225 by itself then null tiply that product by itself, and so on until fifteen products have been mul- tiplicd by themselves In turn The question aroused considerable interest among lawyers in Portland, and their best mathematician. after struggling with the problem long enough to See how much labor was entailed in the solution made the following discOurag- ing report upon it: The final product called for contains 3S. 559 figures (the first of which are 1ll2) Allowing three figures to an inch, the answer would be over l070 feet long. To per- form the operation would require about 300, GOO, GOO figures. If they can be made at the rate of 100 q minute, a person working ten hours day for three hundred days in each year, would be twcnty-cight years about it. If, in multiplying, he should make a row of ciphers, as he does in other figures, tho number of figures used would bc more than 523. 939, 22S That would be the precise number of figures used if the product of the left-hand figure in each multiplicand, by each figure of the multiplier was always a single fig ure; but, as it is most frequently. and yet not always, two figures, the method employed to obtain the foregoing re- suit can not be accurately applied. Assuming that the cipher is used on an average once in ten times, 475, GOO, 00O approXimatcs the actual number. n- RpG4or, Ira ar Lnri pt

S d.. Chas. R. Patterson does bust
ness on the avenue, but lives at
Meadow Glen, pretty place of Griffin
avenue, back of Mrs. Halls residence,
which is r fine house on the hill side,
we'll up Griffin avenue. On Griffin ave.
nue., near Mrs. Hall's, lives A. B. Whit
ney, the Deputy County Clerk, who pre-
sides so gracefully over the marriage
bureau at the courthouse. On the cor
ner of Wells street and DAILY is the ele-
CANT residence and fine grounds of G.
w. Peachy. On South Truman street,
near the avenue, is the beautiful
home of J. A. Muir, chief of the big rail-
road colony of the East Side. It is one
OF the prettiest places in pretty East Los
Angeles. On Griffin avenue, south of
Downey, is the residence of John r.
Scott, one of the most promising young
lawyers in the city. Near by, on the
corner of Hawkins street, is the residence

Getting back once more to the avenue,
on the corner of Water street, near the
bridge, is the residence of Mrs. Crowley.
On South Hayes, just off the avenue, is
the home of A. II. Ssecatz, still another
member of the railroad colony. Next
off the avenue at 16 Hayes street is the
residence of John H. Simpson, the artis
tic tailor of Los Angeles. On the corner
of Hayes street is one of the prettiest
homes on the East Side. 1t is the resi-

shrubs. At 307 Downey avenue is the
pretty cottage of DR.. F. w. Sheldon
Near by is the Gable villa, owned by
Mrs. Bower and being greatly improved.
At 410 is pretty residence,
owned and occupied by Mr.. Robinson, a
mining man with large interests at Ac-
ton. General Chapman's place is Just
above on the avenue, at the corner of
Walnut. At the corner Of Hellman
street and the avenue is Campbell's Hall,
built when East Los Angeles began first
to grow, and still occupied by the society
lodges of the East Side. Here close to-
gether on the avenue are the pretty
homes of three doctors, Shoemaker,
Whitworth and Wagstaff. Opposite on
the avenue are the Offices of the
two East Side papers. They are the
Champion and the Exponent, two
sprightly weeklies. At the corner OF
South Daily street and Shieffslin avenue
is the handsome house of William
Vickrey, PRESIDENT of the East Side
Bank, and one of the most enterprisine Q

suffice as mere samples of hundreds oi
others like them.

With the City Center.
The People Jubilant and they City
Gay with Flags and Decera-

East Los Angeles was made happy
yesterday by the opening of the branch
OF the great cable system of street rail-
roads that reaches that quarter of the
city. Before referring to that notable
event, it will be in order to develop in
brief the history of that part Of the city,
and the present status of it in population,
wealth and other elements of municipal
existence. In separate article in the
HERALD of today may be found sketch
of DR.. John s. Griffin and Of his con-
nection with the city on the East Side.
Passing this by then, few grouped facts
will explain how East Los Angeles has
grown. Yesterday, when the HERALD
reporter was looking at the procession of
East Side children, he saw a familiar
face. 1t was that of O. M. Hayden, an
old-timer. "Charlie," said he, "when did
you come here?" "Why," replied the
veteran, 81 pastured sheep here as
late as 1870. I came here long before
that time. 1t was in 1858 that DIR.
Griffin came in here. But in 1870 there
was very little here"
1t was probably about 1873 that H. M.
Johnston, Esq, built his house in East
Les Angeles. That was the year the
town was laid out. General r. II.
Chapman must have Quilt about the
same time. Soon after III. NJ. Johnston
planted an orange grove of twelve acres.
He sold this about 1876 to A. B. Chap
man, Esq., for $4,000. In 1881 Mr.
Chapman sold the place to Ed. Schief-
felin for $21, 900, and the purchaser, who
had just sold the Tombstone mine il
Arizona for about 50 900, 900, which wa
divided between the two, Shiefelins an
Richard Gird, now on the Chino, pre-
sented the place to his father, who VIZ
then living near Jacksonville, in Rogu
River valley, Oregon. 1t was the gel
eral opinion that Mr.. Chapman ha
received very large price
the place, $21 200. Mr.. Shieffelin

ner of this is occupied by the fine house

ner of this is occupied by the fine house
OF Edwin Kempton, an attorney who has
recently come to the city. Nearly OPP
posite is the residence of Mr.. Ailsworth.
On another corner of Griffin avenue and
Downey is the Griffin business block, the
ground floor Of which is occupied by the
East Los Angeles branch postoffice, and
q fire grocery store kept by F. L. Floyd.
North Griffin avenue is one of the very
tony residence sections of the city of Los
Angeles. The houses of Mrs Speedy
and of the Messrs. F. Bacon, j. D.
Hooker, G. Gilbert Dexter, Police Com
missioner, NJ. D. johnson, the City Treas
urer, and great host Of others are here.
From the Mission road to the hills Griffin
avenue is aligned nearly all the way with
charming houses. The corners of Schel
street and Downey avenue are all
marked by nobby, handsome residences.
The first built, and one not to be
eclipsed at any stage OF progress, is that
of William Lacy, Esq. House, grounds
aud ornaments are all artistic yet home
like to the highest degree of perfection.
Opposite is the house of Robert A. @.
Wilson, Esq. Mr.. Lacy built his hand
some residence at an early period in the
history of East Los Angeles, and MIR.
Wilson erected his at time sufficiently
early to show that he had lively faith
in the future of this quarter
of the city. A third corner of
these avenues is occupied by
the new and very handsome residence OF
MRS. Schisffelin. 1t is an excellent COM
panion picture to the fine houses on the
other corners. On North Sichel, directly
adjoining the Schieffelin grounds is the
pretty cottage home of Mr.. E. B. Gran.
din. For half mile along Sichel street
to the Arroyo Seco, there is a notable
collection of fine residences. Next to
the Grandin home is that of FL. s. Knapp,
one of the deputies of the County Clerk.
Opposite is the fine residence of s. B.
Mckee. Further north is beautiful
home owned and occupied by w. G.
Fillmore. Mr.. Fillmore is another oil

distinguished family of the name in the
Southern Pacific corps. This enc is 8

fine homes abound. On the next block
is the fine house of Frank E. Prior, also
a member of the railroad colony domi-
ciied in East Los Angeles. But
one might 60 on for columns
merely rscounting the pretty homes
on Sichel street, in pretty East Los An.
geles. At 913 Downey avenue lives DR..
Z. w, Clark in very pretty cottage. In
the pretty residences near by reside D.
Carr and Mrs. Potts. At 90S Downey
avenue, on the opposite side of the
street, is the handsome home OF another
Mrs. Potts, the widow of the late Peter
Potts, one OF the pioneers of Tustin City
and one of the most respected men il
the county, who died few months ago
On one corner of Downey avenue ant
Workman street is the home Of Daniel J
Carr. The power house Of the cabl,
company is on another corner, while stil

a distance eastward of one and quarter
miles. Along this avenue nearly all the
business of the quarter is done, and
nearly all the best residences are there
too. 1t is notably fine street. From
the moment one crosses the river
he notices all the way along
cosy cottages, fine residences and
homes that look like the abodes of de-
cidedly prosperous people. One feature
Of East Los Angeles whether on this
street or the others, is the amplitude of
the residence lots. All the gardens are
glowing with bright flowers or laid down
in velvety grass; the shrubs of this
quarter vie with and eclipse in their
luxuriance those of every other part of
the Angelica ity. Floral bowers and
nmbrageous shades surround and beau
tify to an ideal degree nearly ali the
houess of the East Side.
The fact that East Los Angeles has at
tractions as place Of residence is fully
evidenced by the great number Of people
OF taste who have selected it as home
Beginning At the head of the avenue, the
hill to the left or north is crowned by the
magnificent home of Baron Rogniat
House, grounds, and all the surround
iDgs are on large scale, and all is laid
out and finished in style OF elegance
rarely attained in a semi-suburban villa,
as this is. 1t is noted as one of the
finest places in or about Los Angeles on
any side. To the south of the avenue,
crowning another hill, is the residence OF
William Holgate. II is beautiful spot
on commanding eminence, surrounded
with fine trees and shrubs. Near by, at
the south end OF Alta street, the first
street at that end crossing Downey ave.
nue., is the residence of Mr.. Louis
Vignes. Here is absolutely one of the
| finest sites in the wide world for resi-.
dence. It commands view of the whole
city of Los Angeles, of the mountains to
the north and east, and of the broad
plains to the south and west. This is
adorned with a fine residence in the
most modern style, and the grounds are
laid out wish much taste. This trio of
residences would be difficult to match in
all respects in any city. At the corner OF
Alta street ia the old home of W. B.
Pritchsrd, so long known in Los Angeles.
The family is now in San Luis Obispo
county, and the homestead is now the
home OF Colonel A. j. King. The fine

site on the north side of Downey
avenue is the home Of III. M. Johnston,
ESQ. This Is one of the oldest places IL
East Los Angeles, and the fine palms
and other trees testify to the thrift with
which all vegetation grows in this sunny
spot. The ample verandas are all aglow
these November days with thousands o.
morning. glories, that remind one Of az
eastern June day. AT the corner o.
Thomas street on the avenue are two very
pretty houses, one with an ornate stonf
foundation. They are the homes of f
B. Sturges and A. Sturges. These gen
tlemen came here five years ago, and
were so impressed with the beauty o
East Los Angeles that they preferred tt
buy at that point than on Figueros
street. Opposite is the pleassn
home Of James Dennieon. II
