in time the nervous system in England and
Russia should by over excitement grow cal
lous and unresponsive, the series would then
be complete in those countries also; the final
stage of the nervous malady would be its
own defeasance through excess of irritation,
the final development of the inconsiderate
selfishness of la femme nerveuse would be the

An Incorporate Conclusion.

Two ladies' met in a street car the other
day, when one remarked to the other that
she had bad cold, and asked her if she was
doing anything for it.
'Oh, yes" she said, II have been advised
to take good hot dose of gin"-
WHY, Mrs. -" said her friend, lit can't
be possible that you would set such an ex-
ample as that in your responsible situation
1t would be moral suicide"
You interrupted me-" said the other
cooly, Il was going to say good hot dose
of ginger tea taken every night was a sure
cure for a cold"

Tea Drinking.

The nervous woman is a product of the
Nineteenth century, and, inferentially, of
tea. She takes tea to soOthe her nerves, and
it rather eXciteS them; or else she takes it be
cause she has acquired tie habit and the
result is the same. Russian women are even
more afflicted with NERVES" than their Eng
lish sisters. They are more inclined to fitful
and violent eXCitementS, moro skilled in
intrigue, more pesSimistic, more selfish, as a
rule. Now, it is WORTH noticing that they
have known the use of tea much longer; that
they drink a pUrCr and stronger beverage,
ana that they indulge in it Oftencr than
English women. The children take after the
mothers, and in the men the characteristics
become more pronounced and more brutal
Scratch Russian nervousness" and you will
find good deal of Tartar brutality under
meath it,
Here, then, are four well marked stages
First, the healthy stage-the condition OF
England before the introduction of tea, when
nervous diseases were unknown, nervous at
tacks very rare, and the possession of NERVES"
ground for practical joking, rather than a
claim for sympathy. Secondly, there is the
period of the gradual growth of the consump-
ton of tea, and the simultaneous development
of nervous disorders and diseases, accompanied
by certain pronounced mental and psyche
logical characteristics. Thirdly, the state of
society existing at present III Russia, which is
practically period of further development
Here we find that an historically longer ac-
quaintance with tea as beverage is accom-
panied by greater subsection to nerves and
more marked development of the mental
characteristics noted above.
The final stage is the present condition of
China, where the consumption of tea dates
back to time immemorial, where the people
appear to be free from nervous systems en-
tirely, and where the characteristics super

The way for it. Along the road to gain
Day after day, year after year, with pain
We set our marks, and think some time TO fare
To some sweet realm beyond the pale of care
These goals we reach, set them ahead, and feigs
Unrest anew, thus never peace attain;
Miss all its paths nor any pleasure share.

Footsore and weary, burdened, bent and old,
Right on we plod and drag our hopes elate
Through all the mire of earth, TO find at last,
Instead of any happiness we hold,
We are but hollow mockeries of fate
How frequent those that sit In places high
Are counted great ami noble; deeper glance
Oft brands them lordlings Of some circum

That wear but gowns Of greatness walk and lie
But in the haunts of greatness, whence they cry

Along the road Of glory swift advance,
Until they think their shoulders gouge the sky
The world hath many such; mere puppets they

The while their large concerns require them not;
Gay peacocks Of their time that strut their day:
Smooth bubbles, such as childhood's small con

AT SEA.
r the world.

The morn is over the world,
And the sunlight floods the sea;
sit and dream, as the waters CLEAN.
OF the dear, dead past and thee
OF the fair dead past, too fair to last
And the heart that lived for me,
o heart that loved me so
Still in your dreamless rest
You are not dead, and lay my head
Once more on the tender breast;
hide my face in its olden place,
In the place it loved the best.
Dear lips, pressed close to mine!
You are not cold in death,
For close in my ear sweet words hear.
And feel on my hair your breath,
And a voice says low, Il love you so!
With a love that knows no death"
open my eyes and look
Far out on the sunlit sea,
And the waters CLEAN, but my tender dream
Has passed from my heart and me,
And the grasses wave on a lonely grave
That holdeth thy heart and thee.
But the love that blessed us so
In the beautiful years gone by
Is more than a flower, to bloom an hour,
To droop at the noon and die;
Twill brighten the years in far off spheres
Under a strange, bright sky
pray God hold thee fast,
Close in his strong embrace,
And some fair day will come and say,
Viewing thy radiant face,
Dear one. stoop low, for love thee sol
With love that time nor space
Nor all the tears of desolate years
Could rob of its heavenly grace"

a writer in The Contemporary Review
mentions an incident bearing on this subject
which, amusing in itself, may perhaps sug-
gest to others remedial measures in certain
strange cases. He tells how an IrisL servant
girl saved her mistress from brain fever
after a week of insomnia by grinding her to
sleep with the coffee mill Irish instructive
ness had revealed to her that her mistress
was suffering from the deprivation of a GUS
tomary harsh sound at sleeping time, through
the absence from home for the first time in
thirty years of a snoring husband. She pro-
cured artifcially the familiar nasal rasping,
and her homely remedy was successful.

Our Public Schools.

a bill has been reported favorably
by the house committee on education
to prohibit the teaching OF any other
language than English in the public
schools of the state. 1t was only re-
Gently that the people of the state be-
came aroused TO the subject of abust s
which have crept into the public
schools, but now public opinion is de-
eidedly averse to spending public mon
ey in the name of education for every
fraud which presents Itself.
The school fund of this state is large,
to be sure, but this is no reason for
wasting any part of it. There is not
too much money, and yet there is
enough If it is economically and judi
ciously expended. II is we'll enough
to teach the languages in the high
schools, but there are two good reasons
why they should not be taught in the
common schools proper: First, they
are rarely taught profitably, and the
little acquired is imperfect and unsatis-

inefficiency of the masters or the indif-
ferences OF tie pupil, we do not say;
but the fact remains incontrOverttble
that it is waste of time and money.
And next, it is far more important that
an American child should learn Eng
lish than any other language.
If the common schools are so con-
Quoted that every child is afforded an
Opportunity to receive what is known
as common-school English education,
the public should not be asked to go
any further in that direction. 1t is
right and proper that the boys and
girls of America should acquire the
languages, but the public funds should
not he drawn on for that purpose. This
is not government WI ich assumes to

A Letter From California.

SAN JACINTO. Cal, Feb. 4th, 1889.
Ed. Register-There has teen so
much written about California, that /
do not suppose it will be possible for
me IN add anything new. [ have emily
been i'm three counties, San Diego, San
Bernardina and Los Angeles, which
have an area of at least half the sZt of
Missouri; / will try to give true ac-
count, notwithstanding lying is cpl
d.mic here, but | think inconsistencies
ady. / shall begin with the foun,ia-
ton, the soil, which is sandy, alcali
and adobe clay, which, with irriga tiOL
and cultivation, produces as fine grain,
ducsd anywhere. This San Jacinto
valley has been in possession OF the
white man only a few years; so that
orchards are young, but doing well.
One small orange orchard, which is
six years Old is now full ofripe oranges.
Two yOung men from New York put
out forty acres in oranges last spring,
and they have been growing all this
winter. 1t is believed 10y experienced
men that oranges will do as we'll in this
valley as in River Side, where they
are q decided success. In some lCcrl-
tiles fruit trees will grow and bear
without irrigation. The best peaches
| ate last year were grown without any
water. There are some surface wells
and some artesian wells. And an
abundance Of water piped down from
the mountains, which is very good.
AS to climate l think that 1t is as
near perfect as climate can be peri, CT.
The heat in summer rises to a greater
degree iheD it does back east,n as
every person here calls it. but it is not
so sultry, and If we had the same con-
venience and comforts as there we
should not feel it nearly so much
Nights most always cool. Our winter
so far has been delightful, Just rain
enough TO suit the seeder, plenty of
sunshine, no mud and no fog. But |
near SOlhe One say "uat ABOUT the
healthfulness of the place. Well the
doctors are So exorbitant in their
charges that one can't afford to he sick
if they can help it. They charge from
81 to SO a visit to this place-five miles
from San Jacinto. In my stay of eight
months / have only known of one case
of chllls and fever. There are some
chronic ailments. which neither climate
nor medicine can relieve. There are
some living testimonials here who give
climate the praise of their cures. espec-
tally in throat and lung troubles. If
the disease is far advanced it will only
develop it the more rapidly. candid
ly believe that this climate will do
more for such troubles in its incipient
stage than anything else. I have met
some who bad entirely lost their voices
and have regained them by coming
here. Respectfully,

accomplished nothing outside OF spend
ing money and wasting time that the
public in general seems TO accept the
