Custom of Dining at a Late Hour.


M Franklin explains in one of his curions
essays on the private life of the forefathers
of the present generation of Parisians that
the custom of dining at a late hour is moth
ing but return to the habit of the Seven
teenth century. and that the Eighteenth
century alone is responsible for all the
shifting and changing that has confused
and worried the would-be cheerful diner.
The only difference between the present
day and the Seventeenth century is that
what was then called supper is now known
by the grandiloquent name of dinner.
Charles V had his breakfast at 10 O'Clock,
and only after having attended mass, and
his chroniclers report that he supped ''in a
very good time" The oldest French cook
cry book, dating from the Seventeenth cent
ury, fixes the breakfast hour at the same
time at which it is now fixed among the
upper classes. Nobody" says this old ora
Gle, SHOULD eat before the hour of 8, unless
he be i'll or feeble" 1t then goes on to put
down law the application of which at the
present time would put most people into
rather an awkward position.
To eat once a day, says The Menagier in
quaint old French, is to lead an angelic life.
To eat twice is to be human.
But to eat three or four times is ''vie de
beste."

Sporting Paragraphs.

E. K. Benchley has entered Kioto for
the Derby to be run at Bakersfield at
the field-trial meeting in 1892. This is
the first entry ever made from this
county.
Young is pitching good ball for the
San Francisco club. In the Sunday
morning game only five hits we're regis
tered against his delivery.
Ed Tufts has named his 3-months-old
setter puppy by Gladstone, Dixie t. He
is little beauty, having an especially
fine head. Dixie T. is very valuable,
owing to the death OF his sire, who was
imported here by Harry Payne from
Tennessee.
The lacrosse boys have started in for
systematic practice. The return match
with Riverside will be played in this
CITY about the middle of next month.
The great American Derby is to be
run Saturday at Chicago. Several Los
Angeles horses will be started.
o. S. Campbell, the tennis champion,
was recently beaten at Tuxedo Park by
A. E. Wright The principal feature of
the game was the persistent lobbying by
the winner which, by forcing Campbell
back from the net and to one side, pre-
vented him from playing his usual game.

considerable rigidity of backbone on the
part of the members to 90 .inexorably
through with the task before them. The
fact that there will be many cases of in
dividual hardship in carrying out the
programme will prove one of the most
insuperable obstacles in the way of lop-
ping off city employees that can be dis
pensed with. 1t is far easier to stand up
against indignant clamor than to resist
the fearful appeals of suffering merit.
But this is a case OF stern necessity. Our
high rates of taxation have become too
onerous to bear. We must cut our coat
according to our size. The expenses of
local government are too great for our
means. Individual citizens are scrifhp-
ing all round to make ends meet, and
they cannot be blamed if they insist that
there should be reduction and retrench-
ment all along the line in public ex
penses. The city of Los Angeles should
be able to carry on its local government
for much less than nearly half a million
of dollars wruug out of the property
holders, many OF whom have to borrow
money at tremendous rates of interest to
pay their taxes. If the council shall
succeed in lowering our public expenses
100000 they will endear themselves to
the hearts of an overburdened COM
munity.

Effects of Music on Animals.

The keeper of menagerie was once
asked whether the band had any effect on
the animals:
ITO be sure it does" said he; 'they like
it, and therefore it does them good. If you
were to come in and look at them in a
morning when the band is perambulating
the town, you would see many of them,
the more savage beasts in particular, dull
and moping. and either sitting or lying in
their dens. We who travel with wild
beasts cannot, of course, give them the
room they ought to have, and being
cribbed up in show boxes they degenerate
for want of exercise, do what we will with
them. But it would be very much worse,
reckon, if it were not for the music.
When they hear the band strike up they
rouse themselves, and begin taking what
exercise they can, the beasts of prey by
walking backward and forward, and the
others by repeating the movements nat
ural to them when at liberty. The birds
will begin to chatter and plume themselves
at the sound, and even the snakes at times
will uncoil and rear up, and convince the
people, who sometimes seem to doubt the
fact, that they are living creatures"

To Wash Lace or White Madras Curtains.

To Wash Lace White Madras Curtains.
After taking the draperies down shake
and brush the dust from them, then soak
for half an hour in warm suds. Heat half
boilerful of water, shave into it half bar
of good white soap, and add three table
spoonfuls of clear kerosene oil When the
soap has dissolved put in the curtains
Occasionally turn them over carefully with
a clothes stick. When they seem clean re-
move to a rinsing water. After rinsing
thoroughly dip them in another water, to
which has been added little boiled starch
This will not stiffen them much, but will
give them just little body, such as new
curtains possess. In case a creamy tint is
desired strain little coffee into this last
water. If one is so fortunate as to possess
curtain frames the remainder of the work
is simple enough. In lieu of these
however, sheets may be fastened to the car
pet, and the curtains carefully pinned to
these. A writer in Good Housekeeping
recommends the foregoing process, and says
that Madras curtains do very well if ironed
upon the wrong side while damp. They
must first be stretched, however, and are
much more liable to tear than when pinned
to a sheet and allowed to dry without iron
ing. Madras curtains containing colored
figures frequently launder quite as well as
plain ones. 1t will be well to test small
piece when possible beforehand, so that in
case the colors run you can take them to a
professional cleaner who understands the
dry cleaning process.

French Pancakes.

Make very smooth batter with half a
pound of fine -four, six eggs beaten till
light, two teaspoonfuls of brandy, one of
good salad oil, pinch of salt, CRATE of
lemon rind Tor few drops of vanilla, if
preferred), and pint and half of milk,
mixing it till of the consistency of good
cream. Melt tiny piece Of butter in the
frying pan, then pour in the batter till it
covers the bottom of the pan thinly. The
under side will be done in minute or SO;
then shake the pan to loosen the pancake,
and toss it lightly over on to the other side.
The batter should stand for couple of
hours before it is used. This is a French
recipe, and, though little troublesome, is
pronounced by an experienced cook to be
very good.

Kansas, Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota,
j. b. Weaver of Iowa, III. K. Taubeneck
of Illinois and Jerry Simpson Of Kansas.
The platform demands, among other
things, the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver, the passage of laws prohibiting the
alien ownership of lands, limitation of
revenue to the necessities of the govern
ment, an equitable system of graduated
income tax, and the election of president,
vice president and United States senator
by direct vote of the people. A national
conference is to be held in February, 1892,
to unite, If possible, with all other reform
organizations. If this conference does not
make nominations for president and VIC,
president, a national convention has to be
called for that purpose not later than june
ii, 1899.
Some of the speeches were notable. "We
are here" said Senator PETER, who was
chairman, "to undermine and dispose of a
power that is crushing the necks of the
people of America and the world" Gen
eral Weaver declared that the new party
would make the fur fly from one end of the
country to the other, and that the battle
for free institutions and the liberties of the
people would be waged between their can
didates and those "whom the cohorts Of
Wall street nominated"
Ignatius Donnelly, who was chairman
of the committee on platform, is already
spoken of as the candidate for the presi-
dency

summarized in this way Until July l.
1893. tin on free list; from July 1, 1893,
dutiable at cents pound, but unless
there be an annual domestic product of
5000 tons between July i, 1898, and July
1. 1895, tin goes back to the free list on
and after July1, 1895.
Now, if the block tin which may be
produced in the United States in 1898 is
entitled to protection on the ground that
it is an infant industry, why is it not
more urgently in need Of protection in
this current year of grace, when it is
still more infantile? That four cents
pound, or $50 ton, which may or may
not be levied in 1898, would be a most
sensible help to the tin producer OF the
Temescal and of the Black Hills today,
when he is in struggling and tentative
state. Why has it not been accorded?
1t looks very much as if the Republican
leaders aim to mock the people, by as
suming that they can't see through the
tin plate rings already accomplished
steal, and the tin miner by proffering
him help when he will either not need
it or have been obliged to forego his eff
forts through lack OF encouragement.
Verify, the Mckinley bill is wonderfully
and fearfully made, and its claims to
merit are based upon the assumption
that the Americans are very sapheaded
people. AS to this last we shall see.
The uncomplimentary theory was not
supported by the elections last fall, nor
will it be, we opine, by those of the
coming fall
Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-18

The Ohio boy, Mckinley, has been
fairly started out on his career as the
Republican nominee for governor of
Ohio. Ordinarily few Democrats would
care much about Ohio, conceding the
buckeye state to the Republicans as a
matter of course, on the principle that
if the party of great moral ideas and all
the decency could not carry that state,
what could it carry? Mckinley has
been conceded the position of standard
bearer of his party with great unanimity
and a great stimulation of enthusiasm.
Some times candidates mount the
breach, and other times they are thrust
into it. There is distinction
with a difference in these prop
ositions. Which is the case with
Mckinley? He may be rushing popu-
lar favorite, and he may be scape goat.
Under all the circumstances, we are in
clined to think that the Ohio "Sweet
William" will come out the worst shorn
man that ever essayed politi cal dis
tinction. The state that rejected
Foraker may not find it hard to beat the
already beaten Mckinley. The man
who failed to carry his own congress
sional district, and whose friends
vapor about him as possible
candidate for president, may fail mis-
erably in his aspiration to reach the
gubernatorial chair of his own state. And
should such prove to be the case the
last state OF that man politically would
be much worse than the first. The Re-
publican convention which has just ad-
journed in Ohio has been guilty of an
unprecedented thing. 1t dissolved with
out endorsing John Sherman for re-
election to the United States senate.
This is something out of the common.
The icicle has been engaged in building
$50, 900 residence in Washington. 1t
is said that when old men start
in to build new houses their
death is near. However this may
be, Sherman's political knell has
sounded when Republican convention
in Ohio has adjourned without endorsing
him for something or other. The tall
and gaunt millionaire, on salary of
$4,000 to $4,000 year, explains the laches
of his party and state by the statement
that his friends did not wish to intro
duce discord into the convention. Now
let the Democrats take the boards and
introduce the winner in the person of
the present governor, Campbell. By
this simple means a terrible lot of Re
publican bathos will escape harmlessly,
like steam from an exhausted receiver.

WONG ARK'S ARK OF SAFETY.

The failure of the jury to agree upon a
verdict in the Wong Ark case illustrates
for the thousandth time in California
that it is impossible to convict China
man of crime if he have sufficient inter
est amongst his countrymen to secure
witnesses to swear in his behalf. Wong
Ark's counsel placed their main depend
ence upon proving an alibi. This was
accomplished entirely through Chinese
testimony. That there was false swear
ing was shown from the fact that some
of the witnesses, who testified strongly
against Wong Ark at the preliminary
examination, reversed their testimony at
the trial. The friends of Wong Ark had
had time to get their work in upon these
witnesses. One Chinaman who told his
employer, Judge Hatch, the morning
after the murder that he knew Wong
Ark had killed his female slave, veered
completely round when he came to tes-
tify at the trial. Bypiling up testimony
to show that the accused was elsewhere
at the time of the murder, the counsel
for Wong Ark succeeded in raising a
doubt in the minds of some of
the Jurors, and thus mistrial was
secured. The people OF California are
so used To these mistrials where Chinese
testimony figures that they have come
to look upon them as a commonplace
abuse of the machinery of the law. 1t
was in testimony in this case that one
Chinaman told white witness it was
useless to try to convict Wong Ark be-
cause the Chinese testimony would be
too strong for the testimony OF the
white men. "For, you see," said this
acute celestial observer, "you got God !;
Cinnamon got no God" That sums it
up in word. The Chinese have no
God, and therefore perjury cuts no fig
ure with them in a moral sense. A
people who have no hereafter can easily
Jump the life to come" when they find
it to their interest to swear falsely. The
Chinese, as far as the enforcement of the
law by our courts is concerned, present
as serious problem to the people OF
this state as the Malta of New Orleans
did to the people of Louisiana before
the 18th of last March.

BILL was before the last legislature
that should have been passed. Its OBJ
ject was to change the name of the state
school at Whittier from the Reform
School for Juvenile Offenders" to the
"Whittier School of Trades and Agricul-
ture." The official name of the school
is one that should not have been given
it. 1t carries with it badge of dis
grace to all those who graduate from it,
and will have a tendency to defeat the
chief end of the school, the reformation
of its pupils. There was really no ex-
cuse for designating the school in this
Objectionable way, and indeed it is the
worst policy imaginable to place an Of
fensive label upon the inmates of any
reformatory institution by giving it a
name tinctured with criminal signifi-
canoe. The name cannot be changed
until the next session of the legislature,
but in the meantime we might soften its
effects by only alluding to it as the
Whittier state school.

SMUGGLERS' COVE NEAR RED0NDO.

'Tis lonely spot, just under the lee,
OF a romantic, precipitous shore,
Where the smuggler bold-but he
Shall smuggle his wares no more.
In those days of yore, no town
Was here, no grand hotels. galore.
No railroads then, TO ing renown,
Only wild, though beautiful shore.
Twas then, that men, in rough gafb arrayed
Came to plunge and revel in the surf,
And bring their goods-no duty paid,
If landed slyly on the velvet turf.
Those good (?) old days, forever gone,
Those sly old smugglers in their graves.
While wealth, fashion, and beauty come,
To revel in those same blue waves.
Still smugglers cove remains the same,
The purpling ocean, breaks and roars
AS when those rovers brought their game,
Thro' surf and swell with splashing oars.
Now, on a wild and stormy night,
Is seen, on the breakers whitening edge,
A phantom ship in woeful plight,
Wrecked on the oceans rocky ledge.
The wraiths of dead men-so tis said,
In growing gale, midst roar of waves,
Arise from the oceans stormy bed
With dreadful oaths to rave.
Be that as 1t may-I know it not;
OF another story am quite sure,
That lovers true have not forgot
Its wondrous charms to allure.
For troths are plighted, vows are made,
And hearts made happy with love,
While the sun rides high above the wave
With bright smiles for Smuggler's Cove
-JNO.

modified outrage is the instance of the old
story of the cobbler who, on being remon-

occupation at the time fixed for his wife's
