A Days Drive by Three Small Boys Ends
in Tears and SORROW.
A small boy in q cart. horse and dog
all became bewildered last evening and
came to full stop at corner of Suffer and
Kearny streets. An officer asked the boy
the cause of the trouble and he replied only
with sobs. His clothing was saturated with
the driving rain and he was shiyering with
the cold. The outfit was taken to the Gen.
trail Police Station, where the little fellow
had his clutning dried.
He said that his name was Peter Gleason,
and that he lived on a corner of Hyde and
Union streets. He, together with his
brother Joe and Gil Floyd. hired the horse
and cart from tho stables of Connors &
Calvin. They drove out to the Seventeen
mile House, and on returning to the city it
began to rain, and his companions left him
and the dog to return the rig to the stables.
He lost his way and was In utter despair.
The little fellow was only 10 years OF age,
his brother 10 and Floyd was about IL.
He was sent home rejoicing, and the horse
and cart were returned to the stables.

The Storm Interferes With an Interest
ing Discourse.
Owing to the rain-storm last night, the at
tendance at the Metropolitan Temple, where
the services of the Church of the Advent are
now being held, was so small that the rec
tor, Rev. John Gray, deferred the delivery
of his announced address on 1.-THE moral
danger of the street" In its stead he
appealed briefly to those present to begin
the new year as new men, ard live closer up
to the teachings and examples of the Savior.
He further said: Il have been called insane
and reyiled for preaching what scofferS
term garbage sermons, but | consider it the
duty of all honest preachers to expose the
temptations by which we are surrounded
and warn the innocent of The. snares spread
for them. l also consider it duty to do all
in my power to save even the lowest of the
low and rescue those untortunates who
have fallen into the deepest abysses of sin.
1t is hard for a man or woman who has
gone astray te return, but it is possible for
them to do so if helping hand is stretched
out to them. If there are any such here to-
night bid them welcome and will do all in
my power to aid them"
The song service by the surpliced choir of
men and boys was well rendered.

william Doyie's Failure to Capture the
Parental Mansion.
William Doyle, a young man, went home
TO the parental mansion on Battery street,
near Union, last night under the controlling
influence of drink. He met his father who
was in similar condition. and was trying
to impress upon the other members of the
family that he was boss of the house, by
welding razor. William disputed the
right of his father to the supremacy of the
household until he came into contact with
the keen edge of the razor, which came very
near taking off his left thumb. Thereupon
he fled to the street bowling and did not
stop until he arrived at the Receiving Hos
pitai, where DR.. 0Brien dressed his wound
Doyle in the meantime swore at his father,
the doctor and all the attendants present
When the job of dressing the injury was
over he staggered into the street, declaring
that he was going back to give the old man
another rattle

POISONOUS SPIDERS.
A Tropical Species That Catches and Eats
Small Birds.

A Tropical Species That Catches and Eats
Small Birds.
Spiders kill their prey by the agency of a
poisonous fluid. which is secreted in a gland.
and which flows at will to the extremity of
one OF the fauces or jaws. Some writers
have denied the existence of this poisonous
substance; but the effects which SPIDERS
bite have been known to have upon hu-
man being prove undoubtedly that it is
present. Persons who have been bitten
by very large South American spi-
der, known as Mygale fusca. have
felt the effects in the recurrence
attacked for as long as twelve, or even
twenty years after the nfiiction of the
wound. The stories told of the disastrous
effects OF the bites of the tarantula are, how
ever, quite fabulous. Everybody has heard
of the belief held by the inhabitants round
Tarantum, that if one CHANGED to be bitten
by tarantula he became subject to dire
disease, which could only be cured by mu-
steal strains. The disease no doubt existed.
and was probably a form of hysteria. in the
cure OF winch music may have proved ben
eicial, but to saddle an innocent spider
with the odum of producing it was dis
tinctly unfair
The destructive powers of spiders do not
stop short at killing insects, for some tropi-
cal speclrs habitually catch and eat small
birds. The accounts first gwen of these
formidable creatures were for long time
looked upon as mere travellers tales. but
more recent observations have fully con-
tirmed the statements made by those who
originally described them. The birds are
not caught in snares, for these spiders spin
no webs. They conceal themselves in
crevices or under leaves and from some such
retreat pounce upon the birds they have sue
ceeded in approaching. A great deal of
their hunting Is done during the dark hours
of night, when they are able to steal upon
their prey without being perceived. They
often rifle the nests of hummiEg birds.

GATHERING DOWN DOORS.

Sergeant Price and Posse Raid Chinese
Lottery Games.
Sergeant Price and posse raided a Chinese
lottery game on Stockton street last evening,
but by the time they had chopped down the
heavy iron-wood door all the inmates except
one had escaped. Later, they battered down
similar door at 913 Jackson street, where
they arrested the keeper and Chinese
visitor. Quickly following this, the strong
door at 753 Clay street yielded to the axes of
the squad, and four captures were made.
One of them was the keeper, another a ne

Presents at Easter.

The custom of giving Easter presents
grows every year, and now this festival
is second only to the supreme one Of
Christmas in this regard. A few years
ago an Easter card, or at most an egg
shaped bonbonniere filled with sweet
meats, was the height of a giver's ambi-
ton. Now the limit is difficult to set.
A palm in hundred dollar jar, price
less Vatican fan or an old miniature,
rare and costly, may do duty an an
Easter offering if the shrine is especially
worshiped and your purse is in keeping
with your desire.
The egg element has been considerably
eliminated in the modern Easter, bonbon
boxes having suddenly taken on an al
most indefinite variety. Those in Dres-
den china are undoubtedly the most to
be priced. Certainly porcelain candy
boxes are the most sensible, as they out
live the confections and the day. One
hears, however, of $3.50 paid for a hand
painted bonbonniere exquisitely deco
rated with ribbons, feathers and real lace
all of which, ba14ng the lace, is wick
edly perishable, considering the price.
Beautiful gifts are the small portrait
screens which are copies in miniature of
Louis Seize designs and the Sedan chairs
in Dresden.-New York Times.

THE Los ANGELES nERA1D FRIDAY MORNING NAY . 1891.

ment formally communicating the pious
resolution made a curious mistake. By
q slip of the pen he wrote architectural
instead of .archipastoral,' and the reso-
luton was forwarded without the error
being detected.
sWhen the czar received it he laughed
heartily and wrote on the margin, 4
have no need of such a blessing He
then dismissed the matter from hismind.
The document, however, with theimpe-
rial annexation, found its way back to
the holy synod, and produced among the
members of that body the greatest sur
prise and CONSERVATION. Without stop
ping to investigate the matter the eccle-
siastics who were responsible for the res
olution jumped to the conclusion that
they had in some way or other incurred
the czar's dspleasure, and that his maj
estys comment was an intimation to
them that they were expected immedi-
ately to resign.
"They accordingly went in a body to
the imperial palace and humbly rendered
their joint and several designations. 1t
was now the turn of the czar to be over
whelmed with amazement, and it was
only after a good deal of embarrassment
and reciprocal explanations that the
matter was set right. The interview
terminated with mild hint on the part
of his majesty that, even in the records
of religious bodies, verbal accuracy is a
very desirable quality"

The Time for Pansy Beds.

There is nothing more attractive in the
early spring than a pansy bed. In order
to secure blossoms early the plants must
have attained proper size under glass.
1t is necessary, therefore, to SOW pansy
seed early. Any long wooden box fitted
into sunny window in a moderately
cold room, but where it does not freeze,
will do for a seedbox. Be sure the
earth is rich, well fertilized with thor
oughly rotted compost and woodmold,
and that it is fine and friable, so the
tiny seed can easily thrust down their
slender roots in it. Keep the earth mod
erately moist after sowing the seed, and
in short time the little plants will be
up and growing.
1t requires some resolution to thin out
the greater portion of them in order to
give those that are left sufficient room
to grow, but this must be done without
sparing or all the plants will be weak
hngs. Very pretty effects can be pro-
duced by raising box of white or near
ly white pansies for border, and box
of mixed, dark, velvety ones for the cen
ter of the bed. These quaint, blotched,
lovely flowers seem more like living
things than any other blossom. "Old
ladies" is the German name for them,
but the English name of pansy from
''our thoughts has a touch of finer
fancy.-New York Tribune.

Giving New York Children a Vacation

Those who apply for chance to send
their children to the country are in
structed that they must be poor and
needy, without any infectious disease,
clean and free from vermin. A physi-
cian then mspects each child. DR.. &C.
Vinton was the examining physician
last year, and he examined nearly $4,000
children, of whom about 5000 were sent
into the country. Each day the board
of health furnished list of the houses
where there was any contagious disease,
which was of immense help. With that
list before him it was easy for the ex-
aminer to stop any child who came from
an infected house. The majority were
refused on account of their hopeless con-
dition as to vermin. 1t is herculean
task to get the average tenement house
child in suitable condition to be re-
ceived into country families.-Rev. Will
