OLD SPANISH FAMILIES.
The Social Life of the Pioneers of thG

The Social Life of the Pioneers of ths
Pacific Coast.
A multitude of stories of the social
life of the Spanish period might be told.
Each town on the coast was the center
of the hide and tallow trade for a hum
dred miles or more. The low adobe
stores there held piles of costly and
beautiful goods in the days of which
Farnham and Dana wrote-the days
when the great cattle princes came
from their ranches to hold festival
The young cavaliers rode in on fiery
but well-trained and gaily caparisoned
horses, and all the wonderful feats OF
horsema4ship of as fine race of riders
as the world has ever seen, were per
formed daily on mesa and sea-beach
and plaza.
But the home life OF these great fami-
lies was simplicity itself. In many
Spanish house there was no fireplace.
window, or chimney. TIE fire for cook
ing was built on clay floor, partly
rooted, outside of the main building.
The household utensils were few--a
copper or iron kettle, T. slab of rock on
which to pound corn or wheat, soap
stone griddle for the tortillas. Dishes.
tableware, and furniture came slowly,
and were of the most simple descrip-
ton. For years a raw hide stretched
on the floor with blanket spread over
If formed the usual bed in early Cali
fornia.
Everything was kept exquisltely
clean, and though the Spanish families
learned to spend more on their houses
and belongings, they seemed to look
upon such things as only affording op-
portunities for more generous hospA'

STRENGTH I'M SWIMMING.
The Difficulties of Trying to Save n Drowse
ing Person.

The Difficulties of Trying to Save Drowsr
ing Person.
There are two periods in the year
when deaths by drowning are frequently
recorded: December, when skating
begins, and June, when swimming
has come. Last winter was remarkable
for the number Of instances in which
boys had the good fortune to save the
lives of their comrades who had broken
through the ice.
The Royal Humane Society of London
awarded their bronze medal to Cecil
Stanley Manning, boy of fourteen
years, for saving another boy aged
twelve years, who broke through the
ice in deep water seventy-five feet from
the shore
They gave another bronze medal to
a boy named Murray, who saved little
fellow one year younger than himself
from drowning in the Thames at Hamp-
! ton Court
Then there were two brothers. Anthony
and Charles Ellwood, who saved Two Of
their younger brothers, and to each of
them the society awarded honorable
recognition. There were several other
boys, from fourteen to twelve years old.
who saved or assisted to save children
only year or two younger than them
selves
1t is we'll for boys to become acquaint-
ed with such facts as these. At the same
time they should bear in mind that q
human being'in deep water has no great
!. amount of strength over and above what
is necessary to keep his own head above
the surface, and that it may mean two
victims instead of one if he tries to save
from drowning person heavier than
himself, or one who will cling to him
and impede his action.
! The strongest swimmer can not carry
| in the water more than a very few
! pounds, and that weight but a short
! distance. When he has plunged into
the water with all his clothes on, with
! perhaps a pair of high boots on his feet,
and dozen pieces of metal in his pocket,
he must be strong man to- render
much help to another
We advise healthy boys and girls to
! improve all good opportunities, not
inerely to learn to swim, but to acquire
strength and confidence in the water.
Our swimming-teachers very sensibly
require their pupils to battle now and
then in complete suit of old clothes,
including pair of high boots, that they
may know how it feels to be in the
water thus equipped, and how to get rid
of some of their garments. A person
who has bathed encumbered thus will
get an idea how much aid he could
render to drowning person.
It is a mistake to over bathe; and in
this particular there is curious differ
ence between one person and another.
Of two brothers, both in apparently
equal health, one can battle every day
with advantage, while the other will
discover that it is best for him to keep
out of the water except on hot days, and
then not to stay in more than fifteen
minutes. In this, as in all other athletic
exercises, zeal should be tempered
with prudence. Youths Companion,
