Many theories have been advanced regard

made pertaining to what has been accom-

successes attained by those who merit the re-
ward of their efforts, through energy. per
severance, and an entire knowledge of the
lines which they carry. This can be truthful "

Vincing evidence OF what MessrS Christian

BRIGHT AND PLEASANT.
0ne of Sacramento's Charming Mid
Winter Days.
The Barometer. However, Indicates
Unsettled Weather-The River
Rapidly Becoming Swollen.

The storm cleared away about O'Clock
yesterday morning, under the influence
of breeze from the north. The sun was
shining most of the day, and the weather
was so warm and pleasant that the chill
dren were out in force indulging in all
sorts of play.
A different condition OF things pre-
vailed on the Sierra Nevada, along the
line of the Central Pacific Railroad. At
the Summit the barometer fell to 22.35,
the lowest figure it has ever been known
to reach at that place. The mark would
indicate the approach of storm of extra
ordinary fierceness, but those acquainted
with the workings of weather instru-
ments say that sudden fluctuations of the
barometer rather indicate that the instru-
ment has taken a sort OF crazy notion.
Snow fell during the entire night Tues
day, and yesterday morning it was
cloudy on THE hill.'

Sacramento division of the railroad was

Individuality in Ia bles.

II have always thought very young
babies looked exactly alike" said a
young woman who makes big fuss
over babies in public, but in private
confesses that she would rather have a
Scotch collie than any baby she ever
saw. Il went into the maternity ward
of a city hospital for the first time, and
l saw eight babies whose ages ranged
from five to fourteen days. I was sur
prised to see the difference between
them. There was little colored baby
that looked as grave and wise as if he
knew all his race had endured before
him, and another that looked exactly
like a Bowery rowdy, and the prize
baby of the ward, underground
bundle of pink flesh, was diminutive
fac-simile of an Irish alderman. IN.

and then the two of them stood before
the minister, and she put one hand be-
hind her and into the hand of her
mother, who sat just there on the sofa.
And when the minister began: will
you,' she said: 4 Will before he got half
through.
''After that she put on a white apron
and saw that we all had cake and ice
cream. Then when it was time for her
to go away she changed her dress
again and we all walked to the railway

not work. Finally on the recon-

A FLOURY CLOUD.

on u Hot Day.
A flour-besprinkled battalion of small
boys moved along the Western boule.
ward, near Ninety-second street, yester-
day afternoon. Every face was study;
sadness, anxiety and flour contributed
to the expressions. They moved slow
~ because in advance of them was a
forerunner He was diminutive speci-
men of humanity, and he was spotless-
ly white from his little hat crown to
the toes OF his sturdy shoes. The tears
were flowing over his cheeks, and from
his lips poured volume of sound.
The unfortunate 5-year-old had been
sent to the corner grocery for -four and
had dropped the parcel. He had tried
to pick it up and it had emptied itself
over him. His vociferous demonstra-
tons of grief brought flock of diminu-
tive friends. They appreciated the
gravity of the situation.
They scooped up as much as their
grimy little hands would hold. The
5-year-old looked on for minute hope
fully. Flour never looked so white to
him before and he had no idea there
was so much -four in the world The
four pounds spread about good bit.
There were six friends, and they
couldn't begin to lift it all with their
twelve small, black paws The baby
brain grasped the truth. The 5-year-old
renewed his walls and directed his
erring and flour-tipped toes toward
home.
AS he announced his distress he drew
interested spectators all along the line.
But the 5-year-old was philosophic. 1t
was not alone or chiefly the loss of the
flour that troubled him; it was his own
undignified situation.
