Sleep for school Children.

We all know how much greater is the
need of children for sleep than of grown
persons, and how necessary for their
good it is to be able fully to satisfy this
need, but how great it is generally at
any particular age of the child is very
hard to define exactly. The amount
varies under different climatic condi-
tions. In Sweden we consider sleep of
eleven or twelve hours necessary for the
younger school children and of at least
eight or nine hours for the older ones.
Yet the Investigations have shown that
this requirement lacks much of being
met in all the classes through the whole
school. Boys in the higher classes get
but little more than seven hours in bed,
and as that is the average it is easy to
perceive that many of them must con-
tent themselves with still less sleep. ~
1t is also evident from the investiga-
tions that the sleeping time is diminished
with the increase of the working hours
from class to class, so that pupils of the
same age enjoy less according as they
are higher in their classes. 1t thus ap-
pears constantly that in schools of rela-
lively longer hours of work the sleeping
time of the pupils is correspondingly
shorter. In short, the prolongation OF
the working hours takes place for the
most part at the cost of the time for
sleep.-Professor Axel Key in Popular
Science.

THE Canadian Pacific railway is walk
ing all round the American roads, and,
as consequence, it is doing a rushing
transcontinental business. The rates to
the Pacific coast for passenger travel
are really only half those by the Ameri-
can roads. A gentleman who had oc-
casion to come to Los Angeles lately
from Nicaragua found it cheaper to take
steamer to Philadelphia and avail him
self of the cheap rates of the Canadian
Pacific than to take passage to New Or
leans, and avail himself of the Sunset
route. In fact, he found that he saved
pile of money on his family and himself
by so doing. This was pecuniarily an
exemplication of the old adage that the
longest way around is frequently the
shortest way home. As a result of the
low rates of the Canadian Pacific, Van
couver is already a city of twenty thou
sand inhabitants, although it is only
some three years old. We are not with
out hopes that the railways of the
United States will some day see this lit
tie Can adian game and 60 it one better.

SCALE BUGS AND THEIR PARASITES.

None of US know very much about
fruit culture. The industry is in its
infancy and we all have much to learn.
1t is long time since Noah planted a
vineyard, and got mellow on it's products.
1t was not yesterday that Athens forbade
the expectation OF figs and thus gave
rise to the term sycophant. Many CEN
turies have passed since Luculus i'm
ported cherry trees from Cupadocia to
Italy. But while fruit culture is AS old
as the world, the best informed OF us
are still noyiees in the business.
This is topic the HERALD has been
harping on somewhat, urging closer
study of the industry, and conservative
methods of dealing with affairs until we
know what we are doing. In this line,
some two or three years ago, we began
teaching our readers that there were
always parasites that feed on parasites.
The horticultural commissioners often
questioned this, and some times fought
us in the position. When it was an
nounced in the HERALD that the lace
winged fly and the chalcid fly were
making inroads on the scale in the
San Gabriel valley, very many we'll
meaning people laughed at the notion.
The nearer one got to the horticultural
commission the louder was the laugh.
But this merriment on the part of the
commission did not interfere with the
work of the little enemies of the scale
h,,o All oil ~ oh .,a1
these flies have gone on doing their
work, until now the valley is pretty clear
of all sorts of pests. The red scale has
disappeared from many orchards, and
the black one is going as fast as can be
expected. Mr.. John Scott, of the
Duarte, has just discovered a new para
site feeding on the scales of various
sorts. A member of the state board
of horticulture has been in this section
for week past, and on his way to San
Francisco day or two ago told repre-
sentative of the HERALD of these facts.
He thinks these parasites came from the
willows and weeds along the river
courses and marshes, where there have
always been scale bugs and where there
have always been parasites that feed on
them. There is not scale pest known
in this section that there is not para
site known for now, except the Orange
red scale. This pest is very different
from the red scale OF the San Gabriel
valley. 1t is about the same size and
the same in general appearance, but
it is an iron-clad fellow whose
crust is difficult to penetrate. But in
the San Gabriel valley one of the para
sites recently discovered works ON the
young scale, while it let's the old ones
alone. 1t finds the tender shell of the
young more easily perforated.
1t may be found after while that
some parasite will appear which will
work on the young, or on the eyes OF
the Orange red scale. At any rate the
appearance of SO many enemies of the
several sorts of scale pests is an encour-
aging feature. Our obvious business is
to 60 along with our fruit industry,
fighting the pests with gas, with sprays
and with their parasites. Let us care
fully study this last matter, and watch
for the appearance of every parasite that
preys on any pest, and carefully culti-
vate his acquaintance.

An Equivalent for Suicide.

If we allow our bodily inflrmties to make
away with us through neglect have we such
ate suicide? Scarcely. For example, the deadly
progress of Bright's d sease, diabetes, acute
nephitis and gravel is sure-often terribly swift
in the catastrophe. Most people of average in
formation know that this is the simple unvar
nished truth in regard to those widely prevalent
maladies. To delay judicious medication is
special suicidal in such cases. The means of
restraint is to be found i'll Hostetter's Stoma ch
Bitters Give an impetus to the action of the
Kidneys with this safe and reliable diuretic, and
the infant complaint is shorn at its birth of the
power for evil. Allow it to grow, and antici-
pate the worst. The Bitters which annihilates
these growing troubles also eradicates dyspep-
sa, rheumatism, malarial and liver complaints.

IN BAD COMPANY.
Little Matte Lawson's Escort Charged
With Attempted Abduction.

Matte Lawson is pretty fourteen
year-old girl who was down at the Com
mercial- street depot at about 10
O'Clock last evening, in company with
young man named Harry James. Officer
Todd thought he saw soul that needed
saving, or crime that could be pre-
vented, SO he placed the couple under
arrest and rang up the patrol wagon, and
instructed Officer Mcguire to book the
man for attempted abduction, and the
girl was locked up without any charge.
She had ticket for San Fernando,
where she said she was going to work for
a Mrs. Glenn. The man had no ticket.
Officer Todd did well to have the girl
taken care of, though there does not
seem to be much evidence pointing to
contemplated abduction.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 23.-About one
hundred laborers called at the police
station today and stated that they were
ex-employees on the Union Pacific
sound extension, and that on account of
failure to get their money, which will
not be paid for some time, they are alb
solutely destitute. Nearly all of them
came from the east to work on the road,
and claim that they were assured that
their work would be permanent. The
spokesman said they had been at
Contractor J. H. Smiths Office and de-
manded their pay. Their money for the
last month will not be allowed them till
the Goth of this month, and this months
will not be allowed till January Goth.
They say Smith told them he would give
them his notes for their respective
amounts, less 15 per cent, and they
could get the notes discounted by a
broker, but they refused the terms.
At the present time not less than 500
idle men, just discharged from the Sound
extension, are in this city. Nearly all
OF them are destitute.
OF the 1000 who have been employed
on this work there are probably some
800 or 400 who have not yet received
their pay. J. II. Smith had about
$4,000 worth OF hay and oats on hand
when work was ordered stopped, and as
he had no use for this feed, he sold it
and paid off many of his men. He is
now in Omaha, and telegraphed today
that he hoped to have matters arranged
to pay off all his men. The company
owes him S3S6,771, and he has been
promised 100000 of this at once.
Smith and others connected with the
work claim that they have not been
able to obtain the money that is now
due them for labor and material from
the Union Pacific.

THE PEOPLE MUST BAvE FREE COINAGE
OF SILVER.

The great benefits which would result
to the people OF the United States from
a bill embodying the free coinage OF sill
yer are beginning to be generally recog-
nized 1t must not be forgotten that
the most enlightened fnanciers OF Eu-
rope have never lost their belief in a
bi-metallic currency, in which silver
should be honestly treated as on parity
with gold. The report of the senate
com mittee Of which Senator John ?.
Jones was the chairman, accumulated
an immense amount of statistics on this
head. Baron Rothschild, the head OF
the Parisian house OF that great firm.
had no hesitation in saying that the
maintenance of silver on an equality
with gold was necessary to the prosper
lty of the world, and that its demone-
tization meant suffering and possible
bankruptcy to all who had not fixed
incomes derived from securities OF gov
ernments and corporations. The whole
Latin union hung infexibly to the
same opinion, with the Bank of
France at it's head. One of
the most distinguished governors of
the Bank OF England has recently said
that the reconciliation of silver was
called for if there was to be any geneRl
prosperity in the world. The consensus
of commercial opinion has been rapidly
gathering to the same purport.
What effect would the reconciliation
of silver have on the general business of
the world?
1t would mean, in the first place,
doubling of the metallic currency. 1t is
a we'll ascertained fact that the amounts
of the two metals are in value about
equal The impetus given to enterprise
by such legislation by the United States
and the principal European countries
would be incalculable. 1t is only neces-
sary that Great Britain and Germany
should adopt the idea OF remonetizing
silver to see this great benefit to man
kind accomplished. That the United
States is going to have free coinage of
the white metal is as certain as that
night shall follow the day.
Dismissing the outside world, and
coming down to the United States,
the rehabilitation of silver would mean
largely enhanced circulating medium,
the greatly increased ability of debtors
to clear off their mortgages and other
obligations; and it would mean, be-
sides, that enterprises of great moment
in the development of the country
would be fearlessly undertaken. The
silver mining interests of the United
States would be enormously stimulated,
and hundred camps would come into
productive energy that have been hith-
erto difficult or impossible to work.
California and Arizona are full of such
regions, which would be prolific of
wealth under proper conditions. They
are nearly all tributary to Los Angeles.
Their development would create an un-
precedented prosperity all over this
country.
Then let every Angelefo, without re-
gard to party, howl for free coinage of
the white metal. Every little helps,
and we can do our share in the great
work. That congress is right on the
issue seems to be assumed. The thing is
to let Harrison know that veto of
free coinage act would be resented to
the last extremity.

FIVE POINTS.

ED. JOURNAL Il thought you had
not heard from Five Points for some
time supposing the reason was because
the road has been somewhat blockaded.
The cause being by protecting y the
sideroad, by the fence setting in the
road from eight to ten feet, and then
not being satisfied they have tried to
protect as much more by throwing in
logs, rails, trees, chuncks, brush, etc,
although we expect to have an outlet
sooner or later. The Supervisor has
power to clean it out, brought the
Trustees on. They have viewed it,
measured the road, and set the stakes
and hence the parties have been noti-
fed to remove distractions. Whether
the officers, after all this cost, have
sand enough to enforce it or not is to
be seen yet.
