UNTIL within a very recent period
civilization has never been studied at
all. There has been some theorizing
about it by poets, historians and meta
physicians but no study. no slow and
laborious putting together of the facts
of one century to the facts OF
another to reach the truth OF the
whole. In this study the nineteenth
century has been pre-eminent; and
from whatever standpoint the subject
has been approached, the conclusion
has been reached that there is a pur-
pose in civilization above the con-
seious purposes of any or all who have
worked from century to century to
bring it about The materialists
among evolutionists who deduce civ
ilIzation from brutes with the highest
possibilities of humanity in them, agree
in this witt the sternest theologians,
who deduce it from "a fallen man.

A GENERATION or so ago children
were sent to school almost as soon as
they could walk and talk Then came
period during which they were kept
at home until well along in their
digits. and taught if at all at home.
The kindergarten avoids the objection
to the old way without entailing the
serious loss OF time incident to the
new way. The child can have great
deal of valuable information impart-
ed to it without being subjected to the
drudgery of ordinary study. There is
no ultimate escape from hard work
and lots of it in the acquisition OF
knowledge The path of intelligence
is steep narrow and long. To reach
the temple OF good education one
must do great deal of toiling and
make a business OF it but before
reaching the age at which one may
properly enter upon that hard task
much information may be CLEANED in
half play through the kindergarten.

WH1rE unfair or hostile criticism is
to be deprecated it must not be for
gotten that the author expressly in
vites public judgment and that he has
no claim to favor except as he merits
it He puts his wares on the market
with the unspoken declaration that
they are worth the price asked and
the time necessary to read them; and
anyone who finds them worth neither
time nor money has express license to
say So The majority OF authors
understand this and accept criticism.
even when hostile with as good a
grace as possible, well knowing that
If the criticism is deserved it is idle to
resent it and that if undeserved it
will do neither author nor book any
injury. There are some however,
who resent any unfavorable criticism
as an uniustifable outrage and insist
that those who cannot speak well OF
their books shall hold their peace.

A GREAT FIRE IN NASHVILLE.
Four Colored Firemen Lose Their

A dispatch from Nashville, Tenues-

evening fire was discovered in the house
furnishing establishmeut Of Webb, Steven
son & Co, College street, between Church
and Union. An alarm was turned in which
was quickly responded TO and streams Of
water were turned on. Il did not seem 20
threaten TO be very serious Ere, but
there was strong southerly wind and the
fire quickly gained considerable headway
and adjoining buildings were seen to be
imperiled. general alarm was then
turned in and in very short time Nash.
ville's entire fire department was on the
scene and desperate efforts were being
made 10 check what now threatened TO be
couhagration Of huge proportions.
The fire was quickly communicated 70
the adjoining building occupied By the
Phillips aud Buttorf Manufacturing Com
pany, stoves and furnishings; Al. Warren,
furniture, seven stories; A. G. Rhodes,
furniture, and the Noel block, where the
Western Union telegraph ofice is located.
The wind was now blowing a gale and
clouds OF sparks were falling like an April
shower, while the' fork tongued flames
seemed TO lick the very clouds 1t was G
grand sight interspersed ct intervals by
loud reports OF falling walls.
II was feared that the fire would get be-
yond the control Of the city fire department
and Louisville was telegraphed to for aid.
The FIRE at II 80 p. N. was under control
and the prospects are that it will be con
fined to the buildings mentioned. Though
1t is still raging sulleuly its fury seems
somewhat subdued. a very sad incident
Of the fire was the killing OF four colored
fremen, who were struck down while
bravely contributing their quota Of effort

An important argument in favor OF
good roads and against poor ones Is
that the 40. 900. 600 tons of hay grown
here last year were moved at an ex-
pense of twice as much power as would
have been the case had good roads
prevailed. France spends SIS, 900, 600
a year to keep her roads in repair.
and her territory is only four times as
large as New York state. The roads
have vital effect upon developing
and increasing agriculture and so long
as the improvement of them is not a
national affair, run by the federal gov
ernmenL it lies with the farmers to
make them better. 1t is for their
benefit and not for pleasure seekers
who wish to ride over them.

LETTER BAG.
Yanadium and Its uaes.

EDITORS HERALD: In your Sunday
edition Of the 18th ult., l noticed an
item under the heading of Mines and
Mining, taken from the Yuma Sentinel.
/ also noticed short time ago in the
Los Angeles Times report of the
fabulous price Of vanadium. 1t seems
to me both the Times and the Yuma
Sentinel, so far as the remarks made by
them, that they know very little about
either the use or value of vanadium.
Vanadium was discovered in 1880 by
Sefstrom in Swedish iron, and was ex-
tracted from the iron from the Iaburg
mines, not far from Ionkoping. Its
name is derived from Vanadia, Scan
dinavian idol. This metal was also
found over forty years ago in Mexico, at
O place called Zimapan, in combination
with lead. The fnery cinders of Iaburg
contain more vanadium than the iron
itself, and today it is supplying all the
demands for its use.
In 1870, Lightfoot, Of tn Broad Oak
Print Works, OF Accrington, England,
gave it all OF its present use in dyeing.
and it is only used in one color and that
is aniline black upon cotton. Its price
in 1877 was $27 per ounce; that is the
highest price have known it to be,
and have used good deal of it in my
time. In the shape of salt, by which
it is known today as vanadite of am
monia, and which is white powder
very much like cream of tartar. have
bottle of it at present. 1t sells now at
$1.75 per ounce. 1t is controlled by
patents by an English firm which have
their works at Patricroft near Manches-
ter, England. 1t takes the place of cop
per salts in dyeing and printing on cot
ton goods only, and only for black, and
that is coal tar or aniline black; 100
grains OF vandium does the work OF 10
to 20 pounds of suphate of copper, and
does it better and don't affect the fabric.
As far as its use in silk, it is mistake,
for we cannot dye silk black with
either an aniline salt or an aniline oil,
and it is also the case with wool,
80 far. But we cannot tell how long it
will be 80, for there is no end in sight
to chemical research, but so far as
fancy colors on silk are concerned vana-
dunn is not used and cannot be. Tin
plays bigger part in these colors than
vanadium. s,a
and shame to put such things in print
as was put in the Times, for it has a
tendency to tempt men to 60 in search
of vanadium and suffer all the hard
ships which an old prospector has to do
in such cases, and after all his labor he
finds there is enough and to spare in the
market. There are plenty of other
metals besides vanadium used in dyeing
and printing of fabrics which think
could be found and mixed here in
Southern California, and if capital could
be put into it it would pay much larger
dividends than most of our gold and
silver mines Of the present day.
might say in regard to the amount
of vaDadium used / must differ with
the Yuma Sentinel. Instead of two
pounds only being used it should be two
thousand pounds of it are used annually
1T the most, and all of it is got from the
Hamerstag from Swedish iron.

S. B. HUNTS FINANCES.
He Managed to Get Ahead of Two
Banks.

He Managed to Get Ahead of Two
Banks.
The Savings Bank of Southern Cali
fornia has commenced suit against the
estate OF the late S. B. Hunt, who at one
time was a banker and prominent
church member in this city. The suit
is for $44 ,974.39, which, it is claimed
was embezzled by Hunt while he was
secretary Of the Savings bank of South
ern California, between the years 1887
and 1889.
1t appears from statements of those
interested that Mr.. Hunt virtu-
ally loaned the banks money to
himself, placing in return securities on
deposit. These securities deprecated
in value with the fall of the boom, and
the stockholders were assessed $4,000
to protect the bank. The statement is
also made that the suit is not brought
because the bank has lost the amount
mentioned in the complaint, but simply
to provide for the collection of any de-
ticiency that may arise between the
proceeds resulting from the sale of Sc
curities and the amount due the bank
from the state.
Hunt was also secretary of the State
Loan and Trust company. of which John
Bryson, ST.. is vice-president, and it is
said that his peculiar methods of finance
will result in small loss to the institu-
ton, though it is said also that the
trust company holds enough securities
to make its loss nominal amount.
The dead man is charged with max
ing way with his wife's fortune and that
of his stepson, but as he left life in
surance policy of $25, 900, Mrs. Hunt is
provided for.

THE FINEST LEMON.
What a Florida Paper Says of the
Maiori.

Majori.
Doubtless the readers of our market
reports, says Florida exchange, have
often noticed the phenomenal prices
paid for MAORI pronounced Mah-yo-ree)
lemons running up to $3.50 per box,
while the very finest from Florida fetch
only So at their best. Majori lemons
govern the price of lemons the world
over, just as American cotton governs
the price of cotton, and Strausburg
goose-liver pie governs that article.
These lemons are grown on the coast of
Italy, about fifty miles south of Naples,
and the mode of their cultivation is
very peculiar.
The method of cultivation at Amalf,
M jori and Minori is different from that
in Sicily, Sorrento and elsewhere. There
are no plains except one little level piece
of ground between the first bill of Majori
and the seashore (and there, 100, the
trees are trained to trellises as on the
mountainside.) Therefore, on account
OF the want of level ground all the lesser
mountain sides are notched out into
terraces, a supporting wall is built from
the rock blasted out, and the level space
filled in from the s'pocket" where the
earth, the debris OF these calcareous
mountains is exceedingly rich. The
lemon trees are planted about thirty
feet apart in this earth on the level part
of the artificial terrace. Next, trellises
are erected by upright chestnut poles
which come down horizontally from the
wall above. The chestnut poles (from
to inches in diameter) are grown on
purpose for these trellises. When the
tree is large enough and begins to bear,
generally in the second and third year,
the various branches are attached to and
spread out on the trellis roof, so to speak,
above. In the fourth and fifth years
the trees are bearing profitably. In
the months of January and February
the lemon growers take evergreen
bushes OF small lick evergreen oak, the
arbute and other shrubs, and throw
them lightly on to the top of the above
mentioned trellises, thus lightly cover
ing the fruit. The result is twofold,
viz: First--Tbe lemons are kept from
ripening too fast; in fact, are kept back
until warm weather, so they are shipped
by steamers in May, June and July
(just when we want lemons the most),
to England and America; the fruit (by
this covering of bushes on the trelises)
all colors exactly the same, and they
have that most beautiful color which
artists call ''lemon yellow"
The growers of Majori lemons would
no more think of picking their lemons
prematurely and coloring them arti-
ficially than the Florida grower would
think of curing his choice oranges that
way. Thew color naturally on the tree
and are shipped at once, as soon as
they can be wrapped and boxed.-[E
