A man standing at the intersection Of
Vermont avenue and T street might hit

himself. The pastor of that church is a
good deal Of a vocalist, and nothing
pleases his congregation more than his
excellent renditions of gospel hymns.
There was meeting in that church one
evening, and everything was moving
along very pleasantly when the pastor
said: 'sNow, we are going to take up a
collection, and if the amount donated is
satisfactorily large will sing for you
sing anything you ask for"
The congregation then shelled out its
contribution. It must have been .ssatis-
factorily large" for the pastor stepped
to the front and said: "Ill sing now.
What shall it be? Express your prefer

THE owner Of one of the largest or
chards in Southern California told the
writer yesterday that he was in favor of
an organization of the orange growers,
and went to the meeting with the in
tention of joining the combination now
being formed; but that when he saw
that the object that some of the pro-
motors had in view was to throw the
entire business into the hands OF one
firm in Chicago, he withdrew. He said
that it looked to him like combination
for the benefit of this particular firm,
and not for the benefit Of the growers.
"There are now, . said he, ''five or six
responsible housesin Chicago who handle
our oranges. They are in the orange
business to stay, and if we ship all our
fruit to one house, the other firms will
be compelled to bring in Florida and
foreign fruit to supply their customers;
and the result will be to lower prices for
California oranges. Those men have
large capital invested in their business.
They make advances to growers early in
the season. which IS a great boon to
many a producer. They have dozens Of
agencies in as many different towns.
All of the men at the meeting talked
about shipping to Chicago, as if that
was the only point. They, apparently.
did not know that the bulk of the or
anges are sold at points this side OF
Chicago" M

SENATOR STEWART, in his sledge-ham-
mer enunciation of common sense on
all the peculiar methods of his party,
must be a thorn in the sides of the
other Republican senators. In his
great speech against introducing czar
Reeds tactics into the senate yesterday
the stalwart senator from Ne
yada told his confreres some
very home truths. He says the closure
amendment is opposed to the presidents
of America for 100 years, and of England
for 500 years, and then such tactics have
never in all that time been resorted to
in the English parliament excepting to
thwart the people OF Ireland in their as
pirations for self-government. Senator
Morgan followed with scathing ar
raignment of the hypocricy of the Re-
publican deacons, who levy involuntary
contributions and gather millions of dol
lars to buy votes. Well may Stewart
say in view of the present attitude Of
mis- party: "Stop before you step over
the precipice in your mad career and de-
stroy the partyl"

THE most serious danger that the
Columbian exhibition has thus far en-
countered is the movement in the south
ern states to withhold appropriations for
representation there untilit is found out
whether or no the force bill is about to
be passed. In the event of the passage
OF this harsh, un-republican, un-demo-
cratic measure, the southern states de-
sire to take neither art nor part in the
celebration OF the discovery OF America.
In this they are perfectly right. If a
despotism like that of the car Of Russia
is to be established over the south-or
attempted to be established-that sec
tion is perfectly justified in looking at
the whole quatro-centennia as mock
cry. To the south this attempt to place
tbe white population under the heels OF
the negro is matter OF vital concern.

Jar GouLD appears to have told the
truth, OF pretty near it, ones ID his life.
In the blacklist days Of the late panic he
predicted that by the middle Of January
there would appear plenty of money.
And now. in these closing days Of Janu-
ary, the wires bring the news that the
banks Of New York close the business
OF the week with accretions 81 81 600 900
to VI, ,00O, 900 since the last report, and
that these banks now hold $24. .00o. .0uo
in excess of the state laws provisions,
which call for reserves equal to % per
cent. of the deposits. This is alone 4 pretty
snug sum, and with the legal reserves
is an enormous amount OF money. The
question is, how are things managed like
the thimble-rigger's table to make
money appear and disappear in. this re-
markable manner at the will OF some
secret manipulators? 1t is q strange
process.

susceptibility to Disease.

OF several persons who have been
equally exposed to chilly weather one
takes fatal cold, while the others are
wholly unaffected. When scarlet fever
or diphtheria enters a family it is rare
thing for all the members to be attacked.
The great majority escaped la grippe
during its late prevalence. And the
same is true of epidemics Of every kind
and degree.
This difference is mainly due to differ
ence in personal susceptibility, inherited
or acquired. Disease invades the body
at points where its life forces are weak
ened. Such lowering of the vital re-
sistance may date back for generations.
This is one reason for the astounding
mortality of infants, so immensely be-
yond that in the young of some of the
lower animals Many persons who start
with small power Of resistance carry it
through life. Their only hope is con-
stant care and freedom from exposure.
But of those who reach adult age the
greater part may be supposed to have
inherited an average measure Of physi-
cal sounlness. Whence their susnepti-
bility to disease? It comes from physi-
cal transgression. either positive or mega
tive.
Sleep, for instance, is fundamental
condition Of high health. Nothing can
make up for deficiency Of it. Lack of
food does not begin to equal lack of
sleep in its power to depress vitality, and
80 to render tho system liable to any
prevailing disease. Still insufficiency Of
food is great depressant, and may ex-
ist where it is least expected. for the
food must be such as to supply the daily
waste of all the tissues brain, nerve,
bone, muscle and fat-besides furnish
ing heat forming fuel. Many person
who sits at a luxurious table is not half
fed. Youths Companion.

OF sOUTHHRn CALIFORNIA.

The last rain registered in Los Angeles
county was recorded on the eth Of Janu-
ary. 1t was small one. Up to date
the total precipitation this year hns been
2.02 inches. This is small, and all the
precedents establish the fact that we
can scarcely hope for more than six
inches from this time on. This, how
ever, if it comes opportunely, will be
enough, and there is little doubt that
we shall get it.
It is useless to deny the fact that, just
now, we are lettering between the sea-
son of 1S74-75, which was splendid
one, and 1S76-77, which was the season
of smallest rainfall known since the
American occupation.

eighteen years with the weather vaga-

which he has been q close observer OF
the rainfall and OF the state of the crops.

A Good Many of II Kind.

"Behold mew laughed recent bride
returned from her wedding trip and
busy establishing herself in her new
home, as an intimate friend came IN
upon her, among my tea balls" The
friend echoed the laugh when she looked
about. From chandelier, candelabra
and cornice, ON cabinet, easel and lamp,
hung by their slender chains these per-
forated globes of silver; they swung
from picture frames, glistened in cur
tain folds, twinkled among the brasses
of the hearth, occupied on all sides un-
usual inches, where in spirit of jest
their embarrassed owner had placed
them.

have developed this remarkable unan-
unity of purpose on the part of my
friends, but when the wedding gifts be-
gan to arrive, it simply rained tea balls.
Twas delighted with the first, contented
with the second, not so well pleased with
the third, sorry at the fourth, angry at

are only the beginning of the list of
things which arc priced by the maker of
a home and of which too many can
hardly be possessed. There is an aroma
of taste, too, about wedding gifts that
is too often offended. The more formal

ment and decoration rather than of pro-
nounced utility. Relatives and init

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA has of late gone
on alta rapid pace, but great many
people seem to be unconscious of her
splendid gait. Those who complain OF
our lack OF progress and enterprise
really know nothing OF the headlone
strides we have lately made in the line
of development. By the census of 1880
the City of the Angels had a population
of only II, 300. By the census Of 1890
we only lacked an infnitessimal fraction
of five times that number. That is to
say, in ten years we had advanced five-
fold, and that on considerable popula-
ton, in which such ratios are difficult
under any circumstances. The only ap-
proach to our growth since the early
days of Chicago was in the case OF
Kansas City, between 1850 and 1870.
But even that sprightly city began with
5000 inhabitants, and rose to $4,000 dur
ing the decade. 1t is far easier to. make
phenomenal advances on a population of
5000 than of 10000. When the latter
figure is reached the ratios diminish. This
city has not only increased in population,
but her growth in various and attractive
forms has been much more rapid in
wealth and magnifcence than in num-
bers. Ten years ago we were provin-
cial town. Today Los Angeles is posi-
lively the handsomest city on the
American continent. We have no
houses that compare in expense or
splendor with the Hopkins, Stanford or
Crocker mansions on Noble hill, in San
Francisco, but we have actually more
handsome residences scattered over our
six square miles OF municipal territory
than can be found in the Bay City. And
this, Notwithstanding the fact that. ten
years ago, there were not hundred
modern American residences on the
whole pueblo. Now our public build
ings excite the admiration of all tourists
and our fashionable residence quarters,
in both style OF architecture, appoint
ments and grounds, are not surpassed
anywhere on the American continent.
Another decade of such growth, and t
would puzzle the Imagination OF poet
to set bounds to our establishment and
expansion.
