Wild Game In California.

As sporting ground California is
bound to become widely known in the
future. There are primeval forests in
our Sierra, and mountain lakes and
streams that dwarf into insignifcance
the woods and lakes of the Adirondack,
which for years have been one of the
great sporting districts of the East. As
overland railway facilities improve, these
mountain attractions should draw many
sportsmen every summer from the great
cities of the East. Hundreds go every
year to Florida to shoot alligators. That
would prove sluggish sport after they
had once cornered u grizzly or chased a
California lion to his canon home. Up
around Mount Whitney, in Inyo County,
is vast hunting ground, yet compare
lively unknown. Those who have tished
in the lakes there tell wonderful stories,
which have more fact about them than is
often found at such times. During the
past few years different clubs, formed
chiefly for duck shooting, have leased
thousands of acres of available marsh
lands near the city. These lands they
have set apart for the use of their mem
bers, and trusted guardians threaten
charges of buckshot at the outside sports
man who may unwittingly trespass on
the leased property. Not long ago one
club secured over 1000 acres of tide land
in lower Sonoma County, land now notices
of exclusion scare the unwary amateur
who may not belong to the club. The re-
suit of this practice is that the free-lance
hunter, who cannot afford club member
ship, has to travel far to find good and
free sport. On the other hand, these
clubs do much to encourage what may be
called fair sport, and to preserve the game
at the proper season.-San Francisco

A Louisville (Ky.) judge has got the
relation of crime to the height of the
mercury down fine. "Why," said he, to
the Louisville Times man, ''if the mer-
curry had gone any higher Sunday, and
if it had not been for that thunder
shower, my docket would have gone to
over eighty.
"Another thing curious about the
criminal courts is that women rarely
plead guilty think there have been
but two cases in the Circuit Court here
where women pleaded guilty, and in
both of these cases doubts of the women's
sanity were raised One of those cases
was when Lulie Howard was given ten
years for arson. Another occurred about
three years ago, woman pleading guilty
to grand larceny. She was given four
years, as her crime was a peculiarly
aggravated one.
II don't attempt to explain what it is
that makes woman refuse to confess
her guilt, however clear the proof may
be. But so it is, and have seen one
when the proof was clear as day get on
the stand and swear black was white
when every man in the jury box knew
she was perjuring herself. have often
heard Judge Thompson remark the same
thing, and he is inclined to believe that
a female criminal elaborates her story
until she actually deceives herself into
the belief that the story is true and she
is innocent"

Mexican Onyx,

Mexican onyx is form of stalagmite
and its colors are formed by oxides OF
metals in the earth over the caves through
which calcareous water passes. Gold is
represented by purple, silver by yellow,
iron by red, copper by green and arsenic
and zinc by white.
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
have almost destroyed the caves in which
onyx exists, and the native Indians who
mine it have to cut through masses Of
ruins. Blocks of the material are quar-
ried in primitive way in order not to
shatter the substance. Deepround holes
arc drilled by hand on line. In each
hole is inserted a snug-fitting piece of
wood, which has been grooved from end
to end. Hot water is poured into the
grooves at night
This swells the wood, and the block is
split along the line without damage The
natives then saw the block into slabs nsd
polish the surface by hand Each piece
is semi-transparent, and when placed be-
tween the eye and strong light presents
a remarkably beautiful effect in form ard
color.-IJeweller's Weekly.

Portugal has . most interesting mys-
terry in the submerged city of CetobrigA
In the beginning of the present century
fisherman, while rowing along the
coast, was astonished at sight of houses
and well-paved streets under the water
of the Bay of Setubal. He communi-
Gated the news to the inhabitants of the
neighboring town of the same name,
and excavations were at once begun
under the patronage of government. 1t
was soon determined that the ruined
city must be Cetobriga. which is some
times mentioned by old writers, though
literature contains little information
regarding its fate or history.
interesting coins, bracelets and pot
terry were dug ont, aud in 1914 q num-
Der of metal tablets we're found bearing
curious and ancient inscriptions. These
were evidently of PheuI AN origin.
There is no doubt thas the Romans
possessed the city long before its de-
struction. as their remains are en-
countered on every hand. Medals,
grand statues, symmetrical columns of
temples, emo various other evidences
prove high state Of civilization in the
people who built the city. There eau
be no doubt that many wealthy Romans
| settled here to enjoy the delightful
climate, and perhaps also to escare from
the turbulence of Rome.
The remains of this once populous
and ancient city," says Portuguese
writer, stand as an eternal monument
Of people of whom we know nothing.
A traveller who has recently visited it
sends the Scientific american an &c
count of what he saw.
His first task was to explore what had
already been excavated. The floors of
the houses were exquisitely laid in
mosaic, and the colors were as fresh
and br ght as when they we're put on,
long ages ago. Nearly every house had
its bathroom, and q ingenious mode
of heating and conveying water to the
pipes. At the back of the house was
large fire-proof tank. made of broken
shells and pottery cemented together.
The fire was built under this tank, aud
the water conveyed to the bath through
fiat earthen pipes.
A block of granite that had formed
part of the corner wall of house had
been broken, and then mended by in
sorting piece of store, and making it
last by cement. This cement was of
the same color as the stone, and the
break could be distinguished only by
close observation. When some one at
tempted to remove the piece, the stone
itself gave way before the cement
Such compound would be invaluable
-
where throughout the submerged city
are similar traces of high civilization.
Some strange and terrible fate must
have overtaken Cetobriga. The sea had
evidently combined with some fearful
earthquake, far worse than the one of
1855, aud overwhelmed it in ruin. 1t
is difficult to realize that the waters of
the calm, bright bay could have reared
their waves so high as to engulf those
grand temples and monuments.

Attention cannot be too frequently
drawn to the importance of good roads.
In cities, even, the pavements of the
streets are better index to the popular
taste and to public spirit than are the
walls of public buildings. In the
country, roads are the measure of pub
lie and private enterprise They favor
or hinder intercourse according as they
nre good or bad, and upon intercourse
depends to large extent the intelli-
eence and refinement of a people.
The Romans knew well not only how
to conquer, but how to civitize and to
govern. They were the road builders
Of their time. There are miles and
miles of road-bed still in use in Eng
land that was laid down seventeen or
eighteen hundred years ago. In France
they are older and more extended.
Along these lines have grown up some
of the largest aud most prosperous
cities of the world. Through many
centuries, the thoroughfares furnished
all the advantages of navigable waters.
But the argument drawn from the
profit and loss account is the one most
effective in these days, and that is the
one which readers are most likely to
meet with pretty often in our public
prints. Several estimates made by
experts upon economic questions have
been recently published.
Professor Ely, of Johns Hopkins
University, reckons that poor roads
cost the farmer, on an average, fifteen
dollars per horse.
Professor jerks, of Knox College,
Illinois, argues that with good perma-
nent roads freight could often be hauled
ten miles on wagons cheaper than it
could be taken one mile on dirt road
TO railroad station. unIoaded, put on
the ears. and carried to its destination"
These are the opinions of specialists
who have no doubt gone over a great
many columns of statistics in making
up their estimates. There is no prac-
teal teamster who will not admit the
reasonableness of their conclusions.
The greatest obstacle, perhaps, to the
improvement desired arises from the
circumstance that there are as yet no
really good roads in this country, and
from the other fact that the science OF
building roads has never been studied
by our people. Youths Companion.

The Land of thu Fr.a-

A lady correspondent of the English
illustrated Magazine, writing from
America, relates the following incidents
illustrative of American manners. She
went into New York restaurant for o
lunch:
1t was not an aristocratic restaurant
by any means; merely one of the bour-
geois order, where food and cooking are
strictly indigenous to the country, and
French cooking and viands despised as
''kickshaws" and stuff The patrons
were well-to-do. business men Of the
neighborhood, mingled with clerks,
book-keepers, and preponderance of
ladies from out of town, on shopping ex-
than had feeling that this is indeed
q republic, where there is no servile
class, and where even the restaurant
garcons carry themselves jauntilY, as
ii consciously in possession of a vote.
A little child with us knew no En-
glish, aud chatted to us in her native
French. The gdrco7a who served us
looked at her with smiling interest
Presently, he deliberately laid down
his napkin, and with deliberation
chucked her under the chin.
That's funny way to talk" be said
'better learn the American language
it's lots easierw
'"The land of the free" / murmured.
One day was reading in public
library. Near me sat young woman,
neatly, even elegantly, dressed, and
attentively reading a file of periodicals
devoted to hous excepting. I wished to
see one of them, and asked her for it.
She gave it to me with easy good man
ners, and We entered into conversation.
She told me, with pretty foreign ac-
cent. how she cooked certain things, OF
which things her family were most fond,
and of her intention, some time, to send
some of her own receipts TO this house
keeping journal. We parted with
mutual politeness, and / did not see
her again for some time. One week
discrepancies arose between our linen
list and articles returned from the
laundress. insisted to the youth who
brought them that the laundress should
come herself. She came. 1t was my
friend of the public library.
We have an excellent table-girl, neat,
light-handed, but not ''light-fngered,
and the color of gingerbread. Serving
breakfast and lunch, she waits upon us
in gay foulayd over her woolly
tresses, thus immensely adding to the
picturesqueness of our somewhat for
eign menage. At dinner she appears
in the bonnet blanc of French bonnie,
and no persuasion can persuade her to
leave it off As is the habit in
America, our servants eat exactly what
we do, serving the kitchen table by de-
serving the dining room. One day our
matron was about to send away the
fried oysters. You may have 'em all, "
said our black-and-tan Phyllis, replac-
ting the dish; Eve Jest dispise 'em in
the kitchen"
