go back to her work with new courage.
Indeed, the mountain air has proved to be
such benefit to girls coming from a city
by the sea that they have learned to love
the place and its surroundings, and look
forward to another summer outing at
Onota farm.
Country pleasures have been INDUCED
in. Rowing on TIE lake, long walks and
rambles in the woods in search of Wild
flowers and berries, drives, picnics and ex-
curslons weres among the days amuse-
ments, while the evenings were often de-
voted to tahleauX, reading Or music, one
OF the young hostesses beng an amateur
of rare musical skill. With a household
to look after, and workmen on the farm to
oversee, the days have been full of interest
TO the practical young woman IN charge Of
the enterprise; and it would be difficult to
say who have been the happiest among all
the household during the season-the tired
working girls, who have benefited by the
country life, or the warm hearted young
hoste-ses, who have devoted time and
energy to making the hol day house
place of rest and enjoyment to all about
them.
One girl said at the close of her visit, II
shall never forget the lessons ! have learn
ed In cheerfulness, good temper and per
severance. | shall go back to my work
with more reSolute purpose, and try al
ways to be amiable in the future"
So great has been the enthusiasm Of
those occupied in this work during the
summer, that already plan is in opera
ton for opening a similar vacation house
at Greenwich, CT, next season: and this
brings about the Sug restion that other
women might well find this a means
whereby farming and d summer. house for
working girls might be combined. A
thorough love for country life. and with it
a knowledge of farm management are the
essentials, and, in undertaking such a
scheme, love for the work among the
working girls grows until ohe is carried
completely into the spirit Of it, and to give
1t up would be to part with a pleasure as
well as a serious interest in life.
And so the summer at Onota farm is ut
an end. The working girls unite in say
ing that it is the happiest vacation they
have ever spent, and that they will carry
the memory of it with them to their field
of labor, and, in very truth, each one
might add in leaving the lovely region, II
will lift mine eyes unto the hills from
whence cometh my help" for health,
strength, and new energies Of body and
mind have been gained by many tired
worker, in the pure, invigora.ng air
which blows over these Everlasting hills"

SIGHTS ON The SUN.
Marvellous Movements Now in Operation
on the Surface.


The ancients, who believed that the sun
was as smooth and spotless as a golden
mirror, would be unspeakably astonished
If they could see it rs it appeared when
viewed with telescopes recently, says the
New York Sun. Two large groups, or
rather rows, or spots, which are yet visible
near the centre of the disk have exhibited
to a wonderful degree the terrible effects of
the explosive and cyconic forces that are
now, month by month. gathering greater
energy upon the sun. Holes large enough
to swallow up the earth, with plenty of
room to spare, have been formed there in
the sight OF the astronomer; shining bars
have been shot a ross the dark chasms
like bridges of fire; the twisted forms of
the great hlme-like phenomena, which
project hundreds of miles over the edges
Of the seemingly black and bottomless pits,
have given evidence Of the operation of
mighty whlrling power and the punctur
ing of the white disk with crowds of COM
parativeIy small, black holes in the neigh
bOrhO0d of greater spots, has shown that
over hundreds Of thousands of square miles
OF the solar surface a tremendous rain OF
elected matter is falling back upon the
biazng philosophers.
Yet the changes that these OnJUulsJS
are able to effect IN the solar light and
heat bear so small q proportion to the
whole radiative energy of the sun that 1t
is still an open question whether the earth
feels them TO a perCeptlble degree or not.
1t is only when a sun bursts out with such
overwhelming might as was exhibited by
the famous star in Cas'iopea in 1872, or
by star in Cygnus in 1876, or by star
in Andromeda in 1876, that the planets
circllng around it were swept with fire.
There Is no known reason to believe that
our sun will behave in that manner, at
least in our time, and so everybody can en-
JOY the marvellous spectacle of the sun
without apprehension Tor the conse-
quences.

A building up

a 0uatdt7ag up
of the entire system follows the use
of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. It's an invigorating, restorar
tive tonic, soothing cordial and
bracing nervine - and a certain
remedy for all the functional de-
rangements, painful disorders or
chronic weaknesses peculiar to wo-
men. 1t improves digestion, en-
riches the blood, dispels aches and
pains, melancholy and nervousness,
brings refreshing sleep, and restores
flesh and strength. For periodical
pains, internal inflammation and Ill
ceration, leucorrhea and kindred all
ments, it is a positive specifics
guaranteed one. If it fails to give
satisfaction, in any case, the money
paid for it is refunded. No other
medicine for women is sold on these
terms. With an ordinary medicine,
it can't be done.
That's the way its makers prove
their faith in it. Contains no alco-
hol to lnebrlate; no syrup or sugar
to derange digestion legitimate
medicine, not a beverage Purely
vegetable and perfectly harmless in
any condition of the system.

At last that supposed-to-be extinct
Bret Harte sang-the great Gyasticutus
Californicus-has been found. The
HERALD received it yesterday from San
Juan Capistrano by a gentleman who
exhumed its remains from pliocene bed
near the San Juan hot springs, at
place appropriately named Saints
Rest"
1t is one of the most extraordinary
bird-animals ever seen. 1t has head
like wild cat, with two tusks protrud-
ing from its lower jaw Its body is
shaped like that of wild cat but it has
only two legs, tremendous ones, about
twenty inches long each, and supplied
with four distinct joints. The legs ter
inmate in large t1appers, showing that
the animal was amphibious and made
use OF its enormous webbed feet to pad
die its own canoe. When standing on
its two feet erect, it could not have been
less than twenty-eight inches in height.
The face of its head gives evidence of it's
ferocious character. IT was made to
fight with its well-armed Jaws.
The gentleman who sends this Won
derful specimen gives it the scientific
name of 'Cadorus :" but the HERALD is
sure it is the long-lost gyasticutus, the
companion of the whangdoodle that for
unnumbered eons ranged in the valleys
and swamps of the Pacific coast. Its
habitat reaches as far north as Oregon,
but there is no instance on record OF it
having been found beyond that latitude.
The California academy of sciences
has been searching for one of these bird
animals and at one time very large re-
ward was offered for it. At the time
when Truthful Jeemes" discovered the
prehistoric Calaveras skull and the
plethio-saurus, it was believed that the
searchers were getting very near to either
the whangdoodle or the gvasticutus
But the branch scientific academy of
Murphy and camp ran out of funds, and
the explorations had to be given up.
1t was reserved for the glorious section
of the state, which always must have
grown anything that was grown any
where else, to carry off the great honor
of first presenting to the world COM
plete specimen ofthe famed gyasticutus.
1t isl needless to say that this "fnd"
will shake the scientific world from
center to circumference. Never since
Mr.. Pickwick discovered the great
archaic stone has there been so valuable

policy that will tend to the highest
development of our material resources.
When the writer was in business here
twenty-five or more years ago, before
we had any banks, merchants were
compelled to do both mercantile and
banking business. That is, to the ex-
tent they did credit business whether
by book accounts or by notes, they prac
tically became loaners of money, which
is not the business of merchants, i. e.,
unless there is no help for il. Now we
have plenty of banks, let them, as they
must, ii they possess the true, englight-
ened bankers instinct, seek to have as
much as possible OF the credit
business OF Los Angeles and the
vast district tributary to it,
done through them, on the theory
that they thereby relieve merchants of
side business, to-wit, money loaning,
which does not properly belong to them,
and which Ito the extent they may
sometimes be compelled to engage in it)
is really drag to them. Let the mer-
chants turn over this whole business Of
carrying commercial credits to the
banks, and then each class can mutually
benefit the other; and the merchants
having their resources well in hand, and
available to their fullest extent, can
reach out for trade, thereby rendering a
vast region tributary to the commercial
prosperity of Los Angeles. Let us hear
