ana wIunln dozen years the opanlarus
were building ships at Acapulco. Between
1886 and 1850 they explored the entire coast
as far as Cape Mendocino, and in 1912 or
'43 Don Juan CabriIlo entered the Bay OF
San Francisco. Drake was there in 1873,
Cali in 1884, Cermenon in 1895 and Vizcaino
in 1602-3. Then the wonderful Spaniards
of the Sixteenth century died and left no
worthy successors. There was paralysis
of two centuries, and, save few missions
near the coast, the beginning of this cent
ury found California just as Vizcaino left
it. This is all the more remarkable since
Sir Francis Drake had published his rea-
sons for believing there was gold in the
mountains, and the Spaniards had explored
all their more eastern territory for that
metal
Soldiers, Franciscan missionaries and
cattle growers contributed a slowly in
creasing population till 1912 The Rus
slams left small colony, and perhaps 5000
Americans located there in four years.
Then came the Mexican war, and Cali
fornia was formally seized" in January,
1S47. Gold was discovered in 1848, and civil
organization became a necessity. Military
Governor Gen. Riley issued a proclama-
ton for the election of delegates. They

ing US with furtively coaxing smile
With flirt like that, whether maid OF
matron, there is no occasion for cere-
mony. You snatch her up and on your
knee; she pretends to be offended and to
struggle to escape. But she curls her
self up with a sensuous purr when you
begin tickling the fur that lies just be-
hind the ear, and thenceforth it is all
plain sailing. 1t is very different with a
corpulent and sturdy Tom, who, though
he may have luxuriated in comfortable
quarters all his HE, has, nevertheless,
had his sad experiences, and seen some
thing of the worst side Of human nature.
Mischievous boys have heaved halt
bricks at him, Ill bred and unsympa-
thetic servants have resented his patri.
clan manners, expelling him with igno-
miny from the lower regions, and some
times punching his head. Even his
master, who is the reverse Of pusSo-
maniac, may never have appreciated him
according to his merits. No wonder that
a cat of that stamp should be slightly
misanthropic and suspicious. Naturally
he mistrusts strangers advances, but,
nevertheless, there is something in your
voice which sends culver through his
ears and makes him visibly relax the
rigidity of his tail.-Saturday Review.

Something About Mrs. Maggie Van Cott
and Her Work.
Although for twenty years Mrs. Maggie
Van Colt has been q successful revivalist
she has never sought ordination nor any re-
cognition whatever, save such as came to
her naturally as the result of her work. The
beginning of her labors was in 1857, when a
series of meetings was being held at the
Duane Street Methodist church in New
York city.
Mrs. Van Colt was invited to this meet
ing to sing She had never, up to that
time, heard a woman speak in public, save
on the stage of a theatre. and believed that
no woman OF refinement would do So.
However, inspired as she believes by the
divine spirit, she spoke at this meeting in
a most imprisoned manner.
Mrs. Van Colt says of this beginning OF
her work: at certainly was the inspiration
of the holy spirit, for l had no gift of utter
ance, was full of timidity and fear, and
had not been fitted in any way for such
effort"
For nearly two years after this she con-
Quoted nightly meetings while devotlnS

The Sense of Smell.

Smell is the most acute by far of the
five human senses. Take an ounce Of
musk-most powerful of scents-and
leave it where the atmosphere is still,
open on table, for year. At the end
of that time, having for full twelve
months rendered odorous the whole air
in its neighborhood, the most delicate
scales cannot detect that it has lost a
particle in weight. Yet the smell has
been infinitely distributed, microscopic
portions of the musk floating off and ex-
citing impressions upon the nerve pa
pillB under the delicate lining of the
nasal passages; for this is what smell
means. The sense has grown almost ru-
dimentary in human beings through
want of necessity for its use under civil
lied conditions, but it is highly probable
that the cave men had it quite as well
developed as the sharpest nosed beasts.

A FUNNY FISH.

Mr. Albert Mead, whose return from
several years residence in Guaymas, Mex
leo, we not ed the other day, brought his
father, Mr. w. B. Mead. couple of sea
porcupines, or rather mounted specimens
of these fish. One of these was presented
by the latter gentleman to the editor of
the EAGLE. 1t is a queer or odd fish about
the size and shape of a small pumpkin,
and thickly covered all over, or studded,
back, belly, sides, in front and behind,
with horns or spines, from an inch and a
half to two inches long and as sharp as
needles. Mr.. Albert Mead lately saw a
big dead shark with one of these porcu-
pines imbedded in its jaws which it could
not extricate or rid itself of, and which
killed Mr. Shark in the end without dam
age to the pOrcupine. The curiosity will
find a conspicuous place i'll the sanctum.

nronriate scriptnre lesson and offered an

propriate Scripture lesson and offered an
eloquent and ferveut prayer.
The choir rendered beautiful anthem.
Very excellent papers on the missionary
cause and work were read by Mrs. ID.
Smyuh and Mrs. Lizzie Burke.
Mrs. J. w. Horner rendered one of her
very beautiful solos.
But the most interesting part of this in
teresting program was the address of Miss
Patton, the deaconess of the First NJ. E.
church, of this city, on the work of dea-
cones. Miss Patton is young lady who,
on the first meeting, or at the first sight
on the rostrum, at once commands the re-
spect and attention of all. She is a lady of
prepossessing presence, possessing a bril-
liant mind and intellect, is a ready, forci-
BILE speaker, and is well trained and fitted
for her high calling. She gave plain and
interesting account of the origin and ma
ture of the Office of a deaconess, and the
progress of her work from anti-ApOstOlic
times down TO the present day.
The origin Of the order of the deaconess
is not of modern date, neither did it origi-
nate with the Methodist church, as some
may suppose. This office was introduced
lnIO JnlS CuuTCu Dy Tue B6ueTdl COhASAShOO
which was held in New York City in May,
1888. AS yet, the deaconess is not ordained
by the church, but it is set apart for her
work by special conservation.
The work of a deaconess is closely akin
to that of missionary, though the work
is divided into that of a missionary and
an assistant pastor, and from house to
house visiting. Miss Patton gave very
interesting description of the Deaconess'
training school in Chicago, and of her
work and experience in that great city and
Wichita. She closed her address with
very eloquent and fervent prayer.
At the close of her address Rev. J. w.
Horner, the pastor, made stirring appeal
for a liberal collection for the missionary
cause. which was followed by recitation,
"Only a Penny" by Miss Jessie Short,
when the collection was taken up and the
meeting closed with the doxology and

MISSION OF SAN FRANCISCO BAY, 1887.
arabian Nights" The state is indeed an
exception among commonwealth. While
| its growth in population has not on the
whole been so rapid as that of some other
states, its history since 1845 presents gen.
eral development without parallel After
being for three centuries an unexplored
and almost unregarded and waste province
of Spain and Mexico, it suddenly became
the land of golden promise to millions,
and with a scarcely perceptible interval,
without the slow process of a territorial
childhood, it sprang at once to prominence
among the states, like Minerva, full orbed
and armOr clad from the brain of Jupiter.
The admission Of the state, by act Of con-
gress signed Sept. 9, 1850, ended the longest
session of congress held before the war, and
with the other compromise measures"
adopted at the same date put an end to
long and furious sectional controversy, and
gave final form to the territorial system of
the United States-a form which continued,
with changes of boundary only, till most of
the territories became states, and still con-
tinues with three of them. The region
which in 1912 contained a semi-nOmadic
population of some 900 Hispano-Mexi-
CdHS anu perhaps %o,OVO VIII AH'tldHs' was
in 1850 state with nearly 100000 white
citizens; ten years later the number was
379, 1894, ten years after that 100000, and at
present the total falls but little, if any,
below million and quarter.
It's material growth has been still more
rapid. In 1898 it was noted as a remark
able fact If three American vessels arrived
in year to bring Yankee notions" and
a few manufactures from New York and
Boston and carry away hides, and the
chance arrival of British vessel was an
event of supreme Importance. In the four
years ending with iS47 about 5000 Ameri-
cans CROSSED the plains" to the new coun-
try; in the latter year the country became
