Ready Made walking skirts.

Several leading dry goods houses in
the city make speciality of the sale of
simple and stylish ready made walking
skirts, the bodices of which can be
quickly made of like fabrics of a plain
contrasting material, or be worn with
one of the new prettily shaped and
trimmed French jerseys. These skirts
are really great convenience, as most
women are in haste some time or other
for quiet utility dress suitable for walk
ing or shopping uses. Plenty of time is
given to gowns for great occasions, but
every day, ordinary dressing is too often
done without time or forethought.
This is the reason why we SO frequent
ly see such lamentable figures on the
street, particularly in the morning
hours, the same people turning out per-
fectly appointed and beautifully gowned
later on in the day, in the park, at the
art galleries or for afternoon calling.
This is not desirable.
The sight is species of disillusion-
ment unfavorable to women in general,
and prejudicial to individual members
of such hasty class. There is some
thing of the old curl paper idea about it
which is not pleasing. Ergo, blessings
on the originator of the ever ready dress
skirts that are now exhibited. They are
simple, stylish, neat and Inexpensive

TriviaIities.

1t is not always easy in any sphere to
discriminate between the trifing and the
momentous. 1t is often matter of COM
parison, and judgment and experience
are needed in the selection. Trifes are
not to be confounded with details, which
are often most important. Neither are
things necessarily trifing because they
are small. A kind look, a gentle warn
ing, cordial greeting, slight service
are sometimes despised as trihes, when
in truth they are signs of a generous and
kindly nature, and carry untold blessings
to their recipients.
Many little things are far more i'm
portant than what we misscall great
ones; they may indeed be the true reali-
ties, while the others may be insignif-
cant. If each one will faithfully examine
the meanings and purposes of the various
spheres in which he moves, and endeavor
conscientiously to make them first in his
heart and life, the trifles will sink into
their proper and subordinate place.

THE town of Whittier is forging
ahead handsomely. The Quaker ele-
ment predominates in the community,
and we all know what resourceful,
thrifty, industrious people they are.
Without other encouragement than the
fact that they had fine tract of land
upon which to found a town, they went
energetically at work, and in short
time handsome dwellings, brick stores,
fine hotel and nicely laid out streets
greeted the eye of the visitor, where
few months before was nothing but
sheepwalks. Then came the State Re-
form school, which has given immense
Importance to the place; and now comes
a canal from the New river that will
carry 1900 inches of water to irrigate
their lands and to enable them to raise
all sorts of crops. That the Whittier
ties are sensible of the great advantage
this water supply will give them, will
be realized from the fact that they
have planted out 34.861 trees already
this spring. These are divided into
OiC lOllOWlllS Fdi1CblCS VI lIulbs OOOo
fig trees, 1893 walnut, 1857 peach,
4407 orange, 3045 prune, 1156 guava, 1858
plum, 748 apricot, 73O apple, 677 olive,
61S lemon, 224 nectarine, 208 pear, 152
almond, 36 loquat japonica, % ounce,
II chestnut and II cherry trees, and 238
red grape vines. When small COM
munity like Whittier can point to this
kind of enterprise, no one need fear for
its prosperity. 1t would achieve success
even in a country where the natural
conditions were against it; but with the
advantages it has, we can confidently
look for it to grow in size and greatly in
crease in prosperity from year to year.

THERE is one feature of the orange
business of the future which it were
just as we'll to have feature of the
present-and that is that this delicious
fruit ought to be sold at prices very
much less than those which prevail
now. 1t is positively ridiculous the
price one has to pay for good orange in
Los Angeles. The market for the citrus
fruits will never, in our opinion, be
overdone, but they will be expanded by
the moderate prices which increased
production will make inevitable. 1t is
laughable circumstance that ii man
buys two fine, large navel oranges in
Los Angeles today he will be
obliged to pay two bits for them.
In st. Louis last winter the writer saw
specially fine navel oranges labeled 81. so
a dozen, while the best Florida oranges
were sold at sixty cents dozen. The
growing of the citrus fruits will always
be highly remunerative. but it is not
necessary that the orange growers should
make $1,000 an acre and upwards an
nually. One-fourth of that sum will do
pretty well, and when the orchardist is
content with $3.50 an acre fine oranges
will sell for cent apiece, and fifty will be
eaten where one is eaten now. This is
the certain evolution of the next decade.

The Duty Of tho Church to the Poor.


do not hesitate to say that the de-
velopment OF the power of self help, self
respect and self dependence can, be and
should be the work of the Christian
church in all her branches. If Chris
tianity cannot, to this extent, leaven the
masses of the wage workers, it has failed,
and, at least temporarily, must continue
to fail The wild ruin resulting from
that failure may recall the church of
Christ to field that her faithless dis
obedience has led her for time to aban
don.
She believes in the value of man, for
. in him, be he never SO fallen, she sees a
spark of everlastingness. She processes
to accept her Masters commands as di-
vine laws binding on herself. His words
and acts are perfectly plain; he never
contemplated the abolition of all power
ty, but he did distinctly command that
men should, vs they valued his gospel or
professed obedience to himself, draw
near to each other, forgetting and ignor-
ing those things that for short time
made them to differ.
He declared that the innermost and
eternal verities of our nature all men
have in common, and that his followers
were to make much of these, while they
were to make less of their differences of
possession and attainment. Weakness,
failure, poverty were to draw us to our
brother, not drive us from him, for in
the prevalence of these drawing, uniting,
loving forces over the sundering and
disuniting forces lay the hope Of our
race-he called it the coming of the
kingdom of the Son of Man.--Rev. DR..
w. S. Rainsford in Forum.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-03

THE fact that her royal and imperial
majesty the queen of England, God bless
her, celebrated the anniversary of her
birth the other day, gave the pictorial
papers an excuse for printing her photo.
Even the most enamored subjects of
Victoria Alexandra can scarcely call her
pretty. On the other hand the Reverend
Newman, in a fine burst of gush, the
other day, pronounced her the noblest
woman that had lived since the Virgin
Mary. What a pity there is not va
cancy in the Office of court chaplain at
Windsor or Balmoral.
