The local signal service observer fur
nishes the following crop reports for the
week ending Friday:
Pomona college. Claremont, Prof.
Frederick Starr: The week has been
dull, clear and cloudy. Hay, both bar
ley and alfalfa, is doing we'll All kinds
OF fruits are promising. Highest tenn
perature OF week 76 degrees, lowest A
degrees.
Redlands, Scipio Craig: The week has
been generally cloudy. The fruit crop
is in good condition. though apricots
may be little late. Sunshine is need
ed from this on.
Anaheim, M. Nebelung: The bulk of
the hay has been cut and is on the
ground for curing. The fruit trees gen
orally show up better than two or three
weeks ago, especially apricots and
peaches, but the ripening of the fruit
has been much retarded by cloudy
weather. Walnuts have set and show
an average yield.
Tustin, +. ID. Buss: The weather for
the past week continued cool and cloudy.
The genial backwardness of the season
has been favorable to maturing heavy
grain crop, which is now being cut.
Escondido, Ed. A. Merriam Most OF
the hay that was cut was damaged or
spoiled by rain, and most all heavy grain
lodged. Corn aud other crops are doing
well. The peach crop will be immense.
Grapes are just beginning to bloom.

HE TOOK POISON
Because His Father Wouldn't Let Him
Drive with His Sweetheart.

A story comes floating up on the
breeze from the direction of Laguna
which concerns Edward Brooks, we'll
known young man of that place, says
the Santa Ana Press of Friday. He
took poison-an extremely large dose,
it is said-one day in the early part of
the week.
1t seems that his father had refused
to let him have the use of team with
which he desired to drive young lady
to neighborhood dance. So he de-
cided that the sunshine had all gone
out of his life forever, and he took an
extra large dose. That's where he saved
his skin. He took too much. He isn't
dead, but he came very near being, and
now his internal apparatus makes two
extra revolutions a minute with no
signs of hot box, because his nearly
distracted parents poured large guam
tity of sweet oil down his gullet. At
last accounts he was coming around all
right.

mother took it away from them and sent
them to bed for quarreling, and then
gave them whipping afterwards. And
then a giant picked up the bean and
planted it, but dug it up and studied
it," Master Locke is evidently destined
to become novel writer.
The gong having recalled the children
from their play, the studies were re-
sumed. This time it was a reading les
son, with which were combined lessons
in spelling. definition and grammar.
The children were allowed to pick out
their own lesson, and were taught ex-
preston by series of word pictures
drawn by the teacher, who thus made
the children feel themselves part OF the
scenes they were reading about. They
were also taught the meaning of these
hard words by being encouraged to tell
over the sentences in simpler language.
A droll incident was the illustration
furnished by couple of little lads of
what they considered would be dancing
for ioy. Their reading lesson having
alluded to such an action. The word
"wriggling' was also illustrated with
motions Of the hands.
The reading lesson over, the entire
room sang Sweet and Low as an inter-
lude, then tackled a geography lesson.
Little Delois Durfee, boy with fond
ness for geography, asked for, and OBJ
tained as a special favor, the privilege
OF reciting the entire lesson, and the
teacher tested him with the hardest
questions without eliciting an incorrect
answer. His replies all evidenced an
intelligent knowledge OF the subject
unusual in the old school days, however
common it may now be. After he had
been duly tested other children were
called up. One child drew an outline
map of California; another worked in
the mountain ranges; another placed
Mount Shasta; others placed the prin-
cipal rivers and large cities. Then a
child was told to take a trip to San
Francisco from Los Angeles, and out
| lined her trip, by steamer, from Redon-
| do; speaking of the various stoppages OF
the steamer, the cargoes likely to be
taken aboard and the points of interest
to be seen en- route. Arrived at San
Francisco, the entire class took hand
in describing the sights to be seen one
round-faced, bright-eyed little fellow en-
larging on the beauties of Golden Gate
park, the trip to the Cliff house and
Sutro Heights and other points. In the
midst of this interesting lesson the gong
sounded and the session was over.
This school has class of scholars,
many of them, whose parents have no
interest in keeping them off the streets
and in school, and the children have
been encouraged to themselves look al
ter the attendance as consequence OF
vigorous work by the little ones, there
fore, there were three classes yesterday
morning without scholar absent, and
/ in the afternoon five classes with every
pupil present. The class visited by the
reporter keeps the record of attendance
on the black board. Where none are alb
sent or tardy the record is in red chalk.
and where the record is incomplete the
record is in white. This tablet showed
very few white chalk days.

The Forster Horses and Prof. Tapp, the
Great Horse Breaker.

OF SO head sold by Auctioneer Noyes,
at Capistrano, Thursday, 2Sth, 81 head
came into the corral of t. G. Allen of
Los Angeles street. There were proba-
bly, two hundred interested spectators
witnessing the separation of the animals
to the different buyers. Mr.. Forster
was asked by Prof. Tapp to select one of
the most vicious, unbroken mares to give
a public exhibition. One was selected
and driven to the tent of Mr.. Tapp, and
everybody invited to see it. In less than
80 minutes the horse was haltcred and
handled like MARY had little lamb. E"
Blood will tell. The money expended
by Mr.. Forster for fashionably bred
stations and royalty trotting dams
is bringing its reward.
