Climate of Southern California.

Winter as we understand it east of the
Rockies does not exist. I scarcely know
how to divide the seasons. There are
at most but three. Spring may be said
to begin with December and end in
April; summer, with May (whose days.
however, are often cooler than those Of
january and end with September; while
October and November are a mild au-
tumn, when nature takes partial rest,
and the leaves of the deciduous trees
are gone. But how shall we classify
climate in which the strawberry hone
yet in my experience equal to the east
ern berry, may be eaten in every month
Of the year, and ripe figs may be picked
from July to March?
Whist shall I say of frost IAN affair

Changes of Climate

Kill more people than is generally known. Par
ticuarly is this the case in instances where the
constitution is delicate, and among our immi
grant population seeking new homes in those
portions of the West, and where malarial and
typhoid fevers prevail at certain seasons of the
year. The best preparative for change of
climate, or OF diet and water which that change
which not only fortifies the system against
malaria, a variable temperature, damp and de-
biitatng effects of tropical heat but is also the
leading remedy for constipation, dyspepsia,
liver complaint. bodily troubles specially apt
to attack emigrants and visitors to regions near
the equator, mariners and tourists. Whether
used as safeguard by sea yoyagers, travellers
by land, miners, or of agriculturists in newly
populated districts, this fine specific has ELECTED
the most favorable testimony.

ASTHMA

1t is a common error to suppose every dis
ease which is attended by. oppressed breath
ing to be Asthma or Phthisic. We have short
ness of breath in Consumption and Pneumonia
just as we do in Asthma, only that in these
diseases it is always present, whereas in Asthma
it occurs in parOxysms
Asthma is spasmodic disease of the lungs
which manifests itself in periodic attacks or
fits" 1t comes on suddenly and Is attended
with great difficulty Of breathing while it lasts;
but when the attack is over the patient breathes
almost as well as IN health.
Nervous, Humid and Dry Asthma arc naIaes
given to different forms of this disease. En-
physema Is another and more inveterate kind
of Asthma, while Hay Fever or Rose Cold is a
peculiar variety of Asthma which occurs at a
forms OF disease differs somewhat from the
Others In symptoms, but practically these dis
tinctions are of very little value. 1t does not
matter to the patient which form of Asthma
he has since his sufferings are the same in
all. In one case the expectoration becomes
yellow, and we call it bronchial. In another
up clear water. with white froth on the sur
face, we say he has Humoral Asthma. In
Nervous. Asthma there is very little expecter-
as a crying cold in the head or influenza. and
a clear water runs from the nose and the eyes
before the Asthma fit comes on In Emphysema
the expectoration is generally thick, and con-
tinues so in the interval between the fits
while the shortness of breath is increased on
the slightest exertion.
1t is foolish cOnceit OF many people to be-
lieve that if they have Asthma they cannot get
Consumption. The truth is the very opposite.
They are more liable to fall into Consumption
because they have the Asthma. Another idea
is that the Asthma itself is not dangerous dis.
ease, and yet the published bills of mortality
for this city prove to all who read them that
great numbers lose their lives every year by
this foul destroyer of our homes.
without courage and perseverance nothing
is durable. But with these, aided by proper
and skillful treatment, Asthma can be cured
even after the lungs are extensively diseased.
Persons desiring treatment by this system of
practice can use the remedies at home as well as
at our Office, and which will cause no incon-
venience or hindrance from businefs whatever
Every case, of Asthma is durable. Eastern
visitors and invalids will be wise in being
cured before they return home.
Those who desire to consult me in regard
to their cases had better call at the office for an
examination, but If impossible to visit the Office
personally, can write for list of questions and
circular, both of which will be sent free OF
charge. Address

Food-Aided Education.

To drive children into school in order to fill
their heads when they have nothing III their
stOmacbs Is like pouring water into sieve;
unless YOU stay the vacuum IN the stomach
the knowledge will not remain in the head.
There is nothing on which there is more uni
versal agreement III Europe than that starving
children cannot learn. and that immediate I'M
proyement follows III any school upon the in
stltution of free breakfast or free dinners.
But it is only in the last half-dozen years that
the necessity of feeding the children who are
driven to school by the terrOrs of tho law has
received practical recognition in England. EI-
perience III British towns now proves that
you can breakfast your starving scholar. giving
him q substantial hunk OF bread and cup of
warm milk, for something under three tarth-
ings. You can give him substantial and
filling meal at midday at something under q
penny. \ on can breakfast and dine him for
three halfpence or say ninepenCe week, six
days Of the week, with the result that you not
only prevent him from wasting away, or
growing up into n more or less dllapldated
and worthless member Of the community, but
you Immediately increase his capacity to
learn. Last winter $4,000 breakfasts were
provided for tho starving scholars in the
poorer districts of Portsmouth, at q cost of
less than ESQ. The cost of a single
London city dinner. one OF those ban
quets in which the city companies

men-every one of whom would have been
probably better able TO do his work in life if,
instead Of going to city dinner. he confined
himself tor that time to a frugal chop and u
cup of tea-waste upon this and other Occa-
sions money that would provide a million free
breakfasts for the children whom the Educa-
ton Act drives into the public schools. There
are hundreds of thousands of English children
who tramp YEARLY TO school without having
breakfasted and with no prospect of a din
ner except casual crust and perhaps bit of
cheese School fund societies in Paris were
established on voluntary basis as far
back as 1867, although the municipal
council was permitted, subject TO
the approval of the Project. TO es-
tablish such Caisse des Ecoles to en-
courage and facilitate attendance by rewards
to persevering pupils and help TO the poor
ones. These school fund societies did good
work, though in the customary haphaZard
way of voluntary associations, down TO 1880.
In that year the Paris municipal council laid
down the principle that meals were to be
quite free TO all scholars who were known to
be poor. and to insure its execution they
voted a sum of 10000 francs. Two years
later the new educational law provided for
the compulsory establishment of a school
fund society in every reimbursement or
ward. These school fund societies are admi-
rebe institutions. whose introduction into the
English speaking world is one Of the definite
objects that must hencefOrth be sOught.--ke-

A Small Boy, a Dignified Merchant and Their
Repartee.


There il A small boy working in q mercan-
tile establishment in this town who is not
likely TO be hanged while be stays IN New
York State and the present laws stand as they
do. More than this concerning this young
man it would be- rash to prophesy.
Now. the merchant who employs him TO DO
a great many things very badly IS large, red Of
face, pompous and dignifed says the Record
er. lilo was once in the Senate gallery at
Washington when Roscoe Conkling sat down,
metaphorically speaking, on statesman from
JimtOwn or some other place. Since that tune
this merchant has been Concklingesque, par
ticularly when rebdking an employee.
Now the small boy. who may be called
James. succeeded the other day in performing
some especially villainous actions that drew
down upon him the wrath of his employer
SO he was called into his presence. The dig;
nifed merchant expanded his chest. frowned
and proceeded to annihilate the small boy
with a look. The small boy would not ami
hilate. 800
James" said the merchant haughtily:
"Yas. sir -" said James not at all haughtily,
II wish you to listen 10 me-
"YaS. sir. " said James.
This sort of thing won't do at all, sir"
"ias, sir. said James.
There can be no apology for such proceed
ings Do YOU hear sir" said the merchant.
IL will not hear OF an apology, sir"
"Yas. sir" said james, but haven't made
none"
Then the seance closed. and James is not
yet discharged. The naughty merchant Is
still thinking the matter over, and does not
see his way clear james does.
