where Are the Most Beautiful Women.

The Americans write as if their women
were galaxy of loveliness; and then comes
n military critic (English) who only saw
three pretty women in the States, and one
of them was foreigner. There is no
knowing what to believe when patriotism
boasts of the local fair. Are the women of
Aries really more lovely than their neigh
bors? Is "Auld Ayr" peculiar beyond Cir
van and Maybole for the presence of bon
ME lasses! Were the women of Tanagra
prettier than those of Thebes? Or do they
owe their reputation to the local school Of
artists3 Are Irish compilations and Irish
eyes the pardonable inventions of Hiber-
MAN patriotism? Are all Lancashire
witches more bewitching than they of
Shropshire?
These questions can never be satisfac-
torily answered. Perhaps it might pay an
American journal to send commissioner
on beauty ali around the world, one who
should give Il comprehensive and unbiased
opinion. Blu, it would be difficult for the
world to believe in his judicial fairness,
and no really scientific result could be OBJ
tanned. AT home we may all look about
Us and ask where beauty dourishes most.
Now it may be heresy, but we think that
the scientific observer will find beauty
most common among the young workwom-
en- and shopgirls on the one hand, and
among 1.-The highest circles"-the Oldest
families-on the other.-London News

ENGLAND BEFORE THE STORM

ENGLAND BEFORE THE STORM.
The day that is the night of days
With cannon fire for sun ablaze.
We spy from any pillows lift:
And England still this tidal drift
Would she TO sairted forethought VOW
A space before the thunder's food,
That martyr of its hour mi.l,;t now
Spare her the tears of Beood?
Asleep upon her ancient deeds,
She hugs the vision pIethor Ssleeos
And counts her manifold increase
OF treasure In the fruits of peace.
What curse on earth's irnprovident
When the dread trumpet skaters rest,
Is wreaked, she knows, yet smiles content
As cradle rocked from breast
She. impious to the Lord Of Hosts,
The vaor of her offspring boasts,
Mindless that now on land and main
His needed prayer is active brain.
No more great heart may guard the home,
Save eyed and armed and skilled to cleaye
Yon swallower wave with shroud Of foam
We see not distant heave.
They stand to be her sacrifice.
The sons this mother filings like dice,
To face the odds and brave the Fates:
As in those days of starry dates,
When cannon cannon's counterblast
Awakened. nauzZle nluzzle bowiei,
And high in swathe Of smoke the mast
Its fighting rag outrolled.

The Morning Meal.

1t is generally allowed now that the most
important meal Of the day is breakfast;
that a wholesome breakfast taken regu-
LARRY is of more value than a dozen pre-
scriptions for keeping up the strength and
fortifying all the members of the family
against those abilities to contagious dis
ease from the horse cars and other kinds
of exposure attendant upon a days rou-
tine. And yet breakfast is apt to be the
meal which receives the least careful at
tention. Take the average home of mod
crate income, and this is certainly the case
Ii there is cook, matters are little better,
for then each day will have bill of fare
which is sure to grow tiresome. If one ia
absolutely sure of finding brown bread
every Sunday morning, then, no matter
how good it is, one soon gets tired of it.
The most delicate griddles or corn cakes
are fiavorless if served morning after
morning.
The most important point in regard to
breakfasts is to have them varied from
week to week, so that one may not know
what to expect. This makes it incumbent
upon mistress or housekeeper to pay some
attention to the morning meals. Break
fasts are the plague of my ife." said a
young Udfrleu houIdA, WHO hepI only one
servant, and who found it happened regu-
larry that she would get almost to sleep
after an evening spent at theater or dance,
when the dreadful question, What are we
going to have for breakfast? would inter-
fere with her peaceful slumber.
The result next morning would be any
thing but satisfactory and no one would
be to blame She found this must be regu-
lated some way, as both she and her hus-
band had been accustomed to linger over
delightful breakfasts in their own homes.
Her girl was just an ordinary cook, so af-
ter making out great variety of bills of
fare suitable for breakfast, including those
simple dishes which seem in the early day
to be the most relishing, she took pains to
see herself that each one was cooked as she
desired the first time each was tried

One OF the enthusiastic orators at the
Cooper Institute meeting in New York,
which seemed rather to be called to de-
nounce Hill than to advocate Cleveland,
said, in his ebullient enthusiasm, that
the Democratic state central committee
had called the convention to meet in
midwinter. AS a matter of fact, Wash
ington's birthday has not generally been
supposed to be in the middle of winter.
On the contrary, in ordinary years, the
22nd OF February is supposed to be
only six, and in leap year seven.
days from the opening Of spring. Little
slips like that, however, count for moth
ing with fervid orators. There has been
great deal of unnecessary vehemence
in this whole matter. 1t would be far
better to take things placidly, and not
to delight Republicans by the spectacle
of Democratic wranglings. The only
hope of Republican success is founded
on Democratic dissension, and to a gen
uine Democrat such spectacles are not
agreeable.

AN IDEAL DARK HORSE.
The London Spectator Thinks Lincoln Is
Prime Republican Favorite.

Prime Republican Favorite.
LONDON, Feb. 13.-In the course of
long article the Spectator says the re-
tirement OF Blaine from the position of
q candidate for the nomination for
president of the United States has
brought the presidency into special
prominence. The Spectator thinks
Blaine's friends in the Republican con-
vention will not allow Mr.. Harrison to
be renominated. The Republicans, the
Spectator says, have en- ideal clark
horse" in Robert Lincoln, the American
minister to Great Britain, who would
prove the most formidable candidate
they could choose. 1t adds, that this
fact is already widely recognized.
The Spectator deprecates the annoyance
the Americans often show because OF
England's interest in the presidency,
and says the English have no desire to
interfere; but in a case of so near re-
lation they cannot help taking interest.
The Spectator concludes: mo Euro
pean succession is of half such import
ance to US. The people of this country,
despite their shyness and consequent
appearance of churlishness, are sincere
ly proud of America, and they are anx-
ious she should choose we'll. They dc
not desire, as the Americans imagine, q

TENNESSEE MINERS.
The Situation Is Still Strained at Brice-

The Situation Is Still Strained at Brice-
Vile and Coal Creek.
KNOXVILLE. Tenn, Feb. 13.-The labor
people at Coal Greek were holding
numerous conferences yesterday and
today. One thing which caused some
conferences was the proposition of the
Tennessee Mining company yesterday
to conduct their mines on the cooper
ative plan. The miners have not fully
decided yet what to do, but the indica-
tions are that the offer will be accepted.
1t is said if the offer is not accepted the
company will sell the property to the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway COM
pany, penitentiary lessees, who will put
contracts to work.
There has been a good deal of confu-
sion in and around the military camp
during the week and hundreds of shots
have been fred. 1t is evident that the
parties doing this sought to scare the
militia out, but the troops put them to
flight with Gatling guns. The miners
deny that they had anything to do with
the disorder, but say that if any of their
number are hurt by shot from the camp
they will kill every soldier there. So
matters stand.

SAN DIEGANs INDIGNANT.
They Refute the Slander Lately Imputed
to Their HarbOr.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 13.-The pilots of
this port met today with the harbor
commissioners to discuss the statements
made by the Pacific Mail company re-
specting this harbor. Pilots Dill and
Dunnells fatty contradicted the state
ments OF the captain of the City of sgd
ney respecting the depth of water in the
harbor. Both declared that the vessel
was anchored in thirty-six feet of water,
and could have docked at either of the
three wharves where there is from
thirty to thirty-six feet of water at the
lowest tide. The conclusion was reached
that the steamer was detained here not
as the captain claimed because of the
shallowness of the water in the bay,
which the pilots declare was twenty-five
feet deep, but because the captain re-
fused to dock the steamer and anchored
in the stream, necessitating several
hours delay in lightering the freight on
board. The affidavits OF the pilots will
be sent to Washington, and if the Pacific
Mail attempts to violate its contract by
refusing to put in here, the annullment
of the contract and forfeiture of the
subsidy will be asked for.

THE STATUS OF THE CROPS.

A careful inspection of the crops in
portions of four counties of Southern
California by the HERALD staff leads us
to believe that the prospects for the
best and largest yield Of the cereals
ever gathered in this section are spe-
cially bright. The outlook is good all
along the line. This is a matter of
special interest in view of the strained
attention which was directed to the
subject before the late rains, which
were not only gracious as to the time of
their advent, but most gratifying in
quantity.
The region from which we have au-
thentic returns embraces the San Fer
nando and Newhall valleys, in the north
ern portion of Los Angeles county, the
intervening territory, the country
stretching between Los Angeles and
Santa Monica and Los Angeles and San
Pedro, great sweep of the San Gabriel
valley, the Puente and San Jose valleys
and the whole region to the southwark
of the city, with the single exceptions of
the Laguna rancho to the south, which
is being depastured by extensive herds
of cattle, and the Cienega ranch
towards the west, which is devoted to
the same purpose. All this in
Los Angeles county. The area sowed in
grain is unusually large. 1t is looking
much better than at this date last year,
and this is not only the result of the OBJ
Eervation of the HERALD staff, but the
universal admission. OF all the farmers
and property owners. Unless some
thing specially untoward should occur,
we may confidently look for the largest
yield OF wheat and barley ever garnered
in Los Angeles county. This is great
advance on the evil provisions of the
other day. 1t sets the local croaker
back peg or two.
The same assuring outlook that char
acterizes Los Angeles county is also
noted in our charming neighbor Of
Orange. Not only are the fields in at
tractive shape, with abundant promise
of crops of barley and wheat, but there
is most delightful guarantee of a
good yield OF oranges and lemons. One
of the prettiest sights the HERALD rep.
resentative has seen in an age was a
lemon orchard within the very limits o.
the town OF Orange. 1t was prolific oi
promise of yield to its owner
and few acres of such gen.
erous fruitage would make a
modest man content. All through
Orange county the indications of good
return for all crops are excellent.
The irrigating resources of San Ber-
nardino county are go ample that that
region is comparatively independent OF
the rainfall. There are sections of San
Bernardino which are little known that
will surprise the world with their out
put of grain this year. The north
eastern portion of San Diego county will
help to swell this plethoric yield OF
wheat and barley.
To summarize the situation in nut
shell, we are entering upon the best
season Los Angeles and the adjoining
counties have ever known. This arises
from the great saturation of the earth
from previous redundant rainfalls and
from the intelligent and painstaking
cultivation Of the soil. To whatsoever
cause we may ascribe il, the fact exists
that this section never stood so solidly,
from a purely agricultural standpoint,
as it does today.

By THE false system of treasury bal
ances adopted by the treasury officials
since Mr.. Harrison came into power the
present balance in the treasury of the
United States is $28, 400, ,947. But to get
this wretched showing it is necessary to
include the national bank deposits OF
$13, 1874, ,2l1, the subsidiary coins,
amounting to $14,673, ,673, and the minor
coins, which foot up $402,442. Deduct.

r..
Use of Butterine.
Dr. Howard E. Ames of the United Statee
navy, who has taken so prominent part in tn
various discussions during the convention of
the American Public Health association, is
probably one of the most thoroughly informed
men on the question of proper aud nutritious
food in the United States. One OF the articles
of food to which he has paid particular atten-
ton is butterine, which he considers a far su-
perior article of diet to butter.

as a matter OF fact, there isn't one in 10000
who can tell the difference between the two
The nutritious value is fully equal to that OF
butter; it is much cheaper, and when properly
made will remain sweet and fit for consump-
tion much longer.
sThere might be some argument against but
terine made in small establishments where the
material from which it is made is allowed to
accumulate Tor several days, but in the large
establishments like those in this city, where
the material is taken from animals killed the
same day, the butterine is more free from i'm
purities than butter. There is more fermenta-
ton or putrefactive change ia milk than the
other materials, and the best butterine is that
made with the least milk.
"The manufacture of butterine in properly
constructed factories is much more clean too,
than the manufacture of batter, and the fac
tories here, notice, are nearly perfect in that
respect. The matter used for coloring is In no
way injurious, and the high temperature E,
which the materials are subjected perfectly
sterilizes them. L have seen butterine and but

regular rations in the army and navy, and am
satisfied that it will prove better article of
