ish occupation, but the remains of it
make the romance of the country, and
appeal to our sense Of fitness and beauty.
1t is to be hoped that all such historical
associations will be preserved, for they
give to the traveller that which our coun-
try generally lacks, and Which is largely
the attraction OF Italy and Spain. In
stead of adapting and modifying the
houses and homes that the climate sug-
gests, the new American corners have
brought here from the east the smart
ness and prettiness OF our modern nom
descript architecture. The low house,
with its recesses and galleries, built
round an inner court, or patio, which,
however small, would fill the whole
interior with sunshine and the scent of
flowers, is the sort of dwelling that
would suit the climate and the habits OF
life here. But the present occupiers
have taken no hints from the natives.
In village and country they have done
all they can, in spite of the maguey and
the cactus and the palm and the um-
brella tree and the live oak and the
riotous flowers and the thousand novel
forms of vegetation, to give everything
a prosaic look. But why should the
tourist find fault with this? The Amer
ican likes it, and he would not like the
picturesqueness of the Spanish or Latin
races.

petual bloom, the annual crops
are most lusty. fancy that the soil is
always warm. The temperature is truly
moderate. The records for number of
years show that the midday tempera-
ture of clear days in winter is from 60 to
20 degrees on the coast, from 65 to 6S
degrees in the interior, while that of
rainy days is about go degrees by the
sea and inland. Mr.. Van Dyke says
that the lowest midday temperature le-
corded at the United States signal sta
ton at San Diego during eight years is
81 degrees. This occurred but once. In
those eight years there we're but twenty
one days when the midday temperature
was not above 55 degrees. In all that
time there but six days when the mer-
curry fell below SO degrees at any time
in the night, and but two when it fell to
32 degrees, the lowest point ever reach
ed there. On one of these two last
named days it went to 81 degrees at
noon, and on the other to Sc degrees.
This was the great '''cold snap" OF De-
cember, 1879.
1t goes without saying that this sort
of climate would suit anyone in ordinary
health, inviting and stimulating to con-
slant out-of-door exercise, and that it
would be equally favorable to that gen
eral break down of the system which
has the name of nervous prostration.
The effect upon diseases of the respira-
tory organs can only be determined by
personal experience.

brown and red and yellow hills and the
purple mountains are waiting for the rain

watch the procession of nature here
from late November or December to
April. 1t is land OF delicate and bril-

strange in form and wonderful in color.
Before the annual rains the land lies in
sort of swoon in golden haze; the
slopes and plains are bare, the hills
yellow with ripe wild oats or ashy gray

the air grows drier, the sun
hot, the shade cool. Then one day
light clouds stream up from the south
west, and there is gentle rain. When
the sun comes out again its rays are
milder, the land is refreshed and bright

The Finest Pullman Car.

Hot Springs thoreughbreds are ag-
grieved because Cornelius Vanderbilt has
not taken his annual bath here this sea-
son. But the assemblage of millionaires
has been tolerably representative of the
country's plutocratic crop. The sidings:
at the Hot Springs railway terminus
have been filed with private cars of rail
way and other potentates who can afford
such luxuries for weeks. Just now the
finest private car here is Mr. Pullman's,
of course. The car is painted a quiet
color, and there is nothing gaudy about
its appointments, but the big arched.
plate glass windows, the massive steel
frame and many other details bespeak
the superior quality of this comfortable
home on wheels.
1t is like Mr.. Pullman that the Pull
man monogram, P. P. G. in gold, is the
only distinguishing mark upon the side
of the car. So many men would have
put their own initials there. Mr.. Pull
man once told me himself that he hadn't
much use for private car, and most of
his travelling is done in ordinary Pull
man coaches.-Hot Springs Cor. Pitts

A Rich Paris Beggar.


Pucciarelli, a Paris beggar, committed
suicide by throwing himself from the
window of the apartment which he occu-
pied in the Rue Princesse. The streets
of Paris, if they are not exactly paved
with gold for the benefit of the beg
gar, are at any rate macadamized with
bronze. The commissary of police for
the quarter in which the Rue Prin-
cesse is situated was called upon to make
the usual examination as to the death of
Pucciarelli. In performing his task in
the dead mans room-which was not GER
tainly furnished with sufficient luxury
to render the same lengthy operation
he nevertheless made the interesting dis
covery that the old man possessed in Sc
curities and money no less a sum than.
$4,000 francs ($16,000.)
Like most beggars, Pucciarelli lived
frugally; little bread and cheese and a
demi-settier of wine were sufficient for
his needs. One luxury he allowed him
self, and that was cigarettes. All the
afternoon and evening he lay ON his bed
and smoked cigarettes. Lately he had
met with reverses in his profession. 9th
er beggars stronger than himself had
driven him away from where he had been
wont to make SO much, and he had been
forced to seek fresh fields for his indus

wish there might be something solid
in this expectation; that this may be a
region where the restless American will
lose something of his hurry and petty,
feverish ambition. Partially it may be
so. He will take, he is already taking,
something of the tone of the climate and
Of the old Spanish occupation. But the
race instinct of thrift and of "getting
on" will not wear out in many genera
tions. Besides, the conditions of living
at all in Southern California in comfort,
and with the social life indispensable to
our people, demands labor, not exhaust
ing and killing, but still incessant-de-
mand industry. A land that will not
yield satisfactorily. without irrigation,
and whose best paying produce requires
intelligent as we'll as careful husbandry,
will never be an idle land. Egypt, with
all its dolce far niente, was never an
idle land for the laborer.
1t may be expected, however, that no
more energy will be developed or en-
couraged than is needed for the daily
tasks, and these tasks being lighter than
elsewhere, and capable OF being post
poned, that there will be less stress and
strain in the daily life. Although the
climate OF Southern California is not en-
ervating, in fact is stimulating to the
newcomer, it is doubtless true that the
monotony of good weather, of the sight
of perpetual bloom and color in or
chards and gardens, will take away
nervousness and produce a certain
placidity, which might be taken for lazi-
ness by northern observer. 1t kept
with desired punctuality, under the
impression that the enjoyment OF life
does not depend upon exact response to
the second hand of watch and it is
not unpleasant to think that there is
corner of the union where there will be
little more leisure, a little more of
serene waiting on Providence, an abate-
ment of the restless rush and haste of
our usual life. The waves Of population
have been rolling westward for long
time, and now, breaking over the

Newspaper statistics.

The statistics which have been gath
cred for the 1891 edition of the American
Newspaper Directory show remarkable
increase in the number of newspapers
published. According to this standard
authority there are now 1888 publica-
tions of different classes in the United
States and Canada-a net gain of 1913
over last years record. Atno time since
the publication of the book was begun
has the increase been so large. Last year
it was only 653, and the figures for the.
present year even exceed those of 1884,
when the net increase was 1,500
AS regards geographical distribution,
New York state still holds the lead, now
having 1858 papers as against 1,778 for
last year. Illinois, Pennsylvania and
Ohio follow in the order named. The
fifth and sixth places are now. held by
Iowa and Missouri, whose gain in new
newspapers has been large enough to put
them ahead of the Dominion of Canada,
and Kansas, which held these positions
last year. The end of the list is brought

landscape is greener in in finite variety
of shades, which seem to sweep over the
hills in waves of color. Upon this car
pet of green by February nature begins
to weave an embroidery of wild flowers,
scarlet, changing day by day, and every
patches into great fields, until dale and
hill and table-land are overspread with a
refinement and glory of color that would
be the despair of the carpet weavers of
Daghestan.
This, with the scent OF orange groves
and tea roses, with cool nights, snow in
sight on the high mountains, an occa-
sional day of rain, days of bright sun
shine, when an overcoat is needed in
driving, must suffice the sojouIner for
winter. He will be humiliated that he
is more sensitive to cold than the
heliotrope or violet, but he must
bear it. If he is looking for
malaria, he must go to some other win
ter resort. If he wants "norther"
continuing for days, he must move on.
If he is accustomed to various insect
pests, he will miss them here. If there
comes a day warmer than usual, it will
not be damp or soggy. 80 lar as nature
is concerned, there is very little to grum-
BILE at, and one resource of the traveller
is therefore taken away.
But is it interesting? What is there
to do? 1t must be confessed that there
is sort of monotony in the scenery as
there is in the climate. There is, to be
sure, great variety In way between
coast and mountain, as, for instance,
between Santa Barbara and Pasadena,
and if the tourist will make busi-
ness of exploring the valleys and
uplands and caflons little visited,
he will not complain of monotony;
but the artist and the photographer find
the same elements repeated in little
varying combinations. There is unde.
niable repetition in the succession of
flower gardens, fruit orchards, alleys OF
palms and peppers, vineyards, and the
