Ever since the establishment of the first paper on
the bay of San Francisco, which we believe was
the "Alta," removed from Monterey in 1S49; the
inhabitants ofthe Coast generally have been inter
ested in the news from San Francisco. The Alta"
like many other pioneers of as, has succumbed to
the inevitable and gone to the great majority,
and, like other pioneers, has been succeeded by
younger generations. The Examiner has
taken perhaps the most prominent place in the
newspaper field of late years, and its Weekly
edition is very generally taken by those who
want an interesting and reliable paper published

A recent mfcroscopical study, by Herr

results. There are two kinds of glands,

are humorous over tho whole body. while
the latter are on the body and limbs,
