They Wash Once q Year.

The facility with which washing lis
done by the use Of borax accounts for
it's popularitysin the low countries and
in Germany, where to many families
washday comes but once year. The
notion of cleanliness which prevails
among the better class of Germans for
bids the storing or accumulation of soiled
linen in the dwelling house, hence the
necessity of the schwartzwaschkom-
mer," built near by, where the soiled or
unwashed clothes are hung up, exposed
to the air, on poles or lines. We cannot
but commend them for this custom, and
it would be well for those housekeepers
to take a hint who store soiled garments
in the closets Of sleeping rooms and un-
der the beds
The humblest German hausfrau does
not feel her poverty if she has an abun-
dance of linen, and this she will have il
possible, to the exclusion of other things
which we might regard almost as need
full. She is rich indeed if at the end of
six months or year she can display
long lines hung with immaculate linen,
We can thus understand how even at
this day chest Of linen is regarded
among the peasantry as part of their
dover or marriage portion of the bride.
For these washings week is usually
taken and the event is regarded as no
ordinary one. 1t is something of a jubi-
lee in which the entire family takes
part. An American lady travelling in
Germany witnessed one of these 'sfrol-
ics," where four or five women were
washing from one capacious tub. When
asked why they did not adopt the easier
plan of washing weekly, one of them re-
piled that "they feared the people might
think they had but two garments
apiece. ."--Pittsburg Dispatch.

No SOUTHERN Californian should fail
to labor in season and out for the estab-
lishment OF works designed for the con-
struction of modern ordnance on this
coast and for the erection OF adequate
Notifications at all eligible points in
this section. San Francisco, San Diego,
San Pedro and other exposed places
should at once be made scenes of real
activity in all lines relating to the ma
tional dignity. The work has been neg
lected entirely too long. A thing that
has been overlooked is that the
United States are under almost in.
commensurate obligations to this state.
From the time OF its discovery to the
present day the mines OF California
have poured into the channels of COM
merce probably thousand, two hun
dred and fifty millions of minted dol
lars. That is larger sum OF gold than
there is today in the whole United
States, and 30 per cent may justly be
added to it. Tit had not been for this
prodigious contribution in gold CONNER
cial life would have been indeed slug
gish in this country. We are entitled to
zee large sums OF this money returned to
California in the form of liberal appro-
priations, and there ought to be gen.
eral feeling of the justice of this demand.
Energy on the part of the representa-
tives of California in the senate and
house would do wonders in securing us

THE Hon. JOSEPH BENSON FORAKER
must be thorn in the sides of both
Harrison and Sherman. He has an I'M
commonly frank way of speaking his
mind. He has notion that the presi-
dent should not NEEDLE in Ohio politics,
and there are great many people who
will think precisely as Mr.. Foraker does
on this head. 1t is hard to makes Re-
publican president understand that the
masses resent federal interference in the
affairs of the states. The experiences OF
Judge Folger, under President Arthur,
and OF Jacob Sloat Fassett,. under Gen.
Harrison, ought to have given the Wash
ington authorities very impressive OBJ
ject lesson. but they have failed of their
efficacy. John Sherman, in his politi-
cal operations, has always largely relied
upon the cooperation of the federal
Office holders, but this year he may slip
up on that resource. There was once
an old Democratic cry OF rotation in
Office which fits the case of Sherman
exceedingly well. He has held public
station long beyond the lifetime OF an
ordinary man, and many even of his
fellow Republican believe that it is high
time that he should be made to let 20
and give somebody else show.

Life in Central New York.

One night about three weeks ago
George Ceon, Frederick Shepp and Fred
erick Gott, farmers residing near North
Manlius, had their harnesses and robes
stolen. OF course they were annoyed,
and anxious to catch the thief, and,
somewhat inclined to believe in the mys-
terious, Shepp and Gott went to Syra-
cuse fortune teller for information. She
took their money and informed them
that they would find the harnesses on the
premises of some one whose first name
was James, secreted in barrel. They
thought of the Jameses in their vicinity.
There was neighbor James Rich and
neighbor James Wright, the latter a
well to do farmer, and they got q war
rant from Collamer justice to search
the house of the first James and one of
the barns of the second James.
The officer who had the warrant did
so, accompanied by Mr.. Gott and Mr..
Shepp. But the harnesses were not found,
and now James Rich promises to make
it interesting for Gott and Shepp. He
claims they dug up his cellar, scattered
his potatoes around and did other mis-
chief of this character, and made no
effort to put things in as good shape as
they found them. He wants damages
from the two gentlemen, and says he
will ask the court to grant his request
unless Gott and Shepp walk up and pay.

A Question for English Lawyers.

A correspondent raises the question
whether retired judge can practice at
the bar, and goes on to say: ''The point
is an interesting one, and if report
speaks truly it is not unlikely to be
raised by the action of Mr.. Justice
Hawkins, who, on his retirement next
month, it is said, will resume his old
role of advocate. There is no precedent
for an English judge appearing again
at the bar after retirement, but it is noB
an uncommon thing for an Indian or
colonial judge to resume practice when
he has left the bench. These officials,
however, are in an entirely different
position to their English brethren, and
their example counts for very little.
'sThe absence of an English precedent
is much more to the purpose, and it
would probably be considered conclusive
, by the bar committee if not by the
judges before whom the question might
be raised. Anyway, it would be decid-
edly unfair for a judge who had received
handsome pension to enter into compe-
tition with his struggling professional
brethren who had yet career to make,
to say nothing of the awkwardness Of
the situation which would be created. p

DESPERATE GARzA.

Caterina Cara, the present Mexican
bandit, but possible dictator, is making
wonderful progress in his forays along
the border, and promises soon to become
a full-fedged, well-backed revolution
ist. Though facing a largely superior
force of Mexican troops and harassed in
his returns to this side of the line by
United States soldiers, he has made de-
cided headway lately, and has managed
to lead the gallant Captain Bourke OF
ours wild goose chase.
The dispatches state that the Diaz
government has offered rewards aggre-
eating $500, 900 for Garza's head, a price
large enough, it would seem, to accom-
plish its object.
Time brings about topsy-turvey
changes in Mexico. 1t isnot SO many
years age that price, and a large one,
was offered for the head of Diaz, and he
had to nimbly skip back and forth over
the border to keep his cabeza.
CARA is described as young, hand
some and brave; he has shown himself
master of desultory warfare, so that
altogether, he appears to be well quail
fed for the desperate role he is playing.
What the cause is for discomfort with
the present government of Mexico is not
clear to an outsider. That country un-
der the guidance OF Diaz has made
greater progress than ever before; its
credit has been re-established, it's nat
ural resources have been developed, and
an enlightened, progressive policy has
been pursued. There have been rumors,
it is true. of an iron hand inside the
silken glove, of resort to means and
measures not exactly in accordance with
the present ideas about personal rights
but these reports have never taken con.
crete form. Altogether, President Diaz
appears to have produced the very best
possible results. But--turn a gallant
handsome, brainy desperate loose
among our -blooded, impulsive,
impatient neighbors, and he is likely
to cause serious trouble, to effect the
tdmale caliente, so to speak.

THERE will be good sport for those
who admire contests OF speed between
fine horses, at Agricultural park begin
ming on Tuesday next. The breeding of
race horses and trotters is fast becoming
as important as any other feature of
our resources, and promises to outstrip
most of them. This being the case, it is
certainly good thing for the public to
encourage such events, particularly as
they are characterized by perfect hon.
esty in their management, and are de-
void Of many features which have else
where served to create an adverse opin-
ion to racing.

THAT grip has prevailed in Los Ange-
les and the surrounding country for
some time past is patent to any one who
goes around to any extent. Singularly
enough it seems to select the most
robust persons as it's victims. In most
cases, however, it has none of the ma
lignant features that characterize it in
the eastern states. We have had some
pneumonia, also, but that has been OF a
singularly mild type. The physician
who attends the Sisters infirmary in
formed the writer that, during four or
five years of his administration he had
only had one fatal case. This certainly
speaks well for the mild effects OF our
climate.

A sewed Fish.

A peculiar fish was brought into this
port Monday by the schooner Mildred
V. Lee. The fish is nearly oval in shape,
with very short tail; is 81 feet in
length, 2a feet in width and weighed
112 pounds. When taken from the water
it was of a brightred color, and the meat
Is about the color of salmon. The body
except the head is covered by small
scales, and the back is covered with light
spots. On either side of his back is a
peculiar line, resembling q scar. as if he
had been cut and stitches taken in the
wound. The fish was taken on La Have
bank in trawl in 300 fathoms of water,
but nothing like it has ever been landed
here before, neither can. a fish answering

tions Of the fish commission Il 7loncester

was certainly a battling one. With
such men on the stage as Prof.
Scott, Harry Won Holt, Theo, f.

possibility of collision between the
performers and them. One espe-

stage with the avowed intention of
puzzling Mrs. Steen if possible.
But he could not do it, nor could
any of the others. Mrs. Steen

scientist or not, to tell how she
performs her marvellous act. Her

While the ADVERTISER is always
anxious to expose the shortcomings
and abuse of Office by the police or
any other department, it is just as
ready to say a good word for the
same men when occasion offers.
On the last trip of the Alameda
there arrived two white men, who
came to this city in search Of work,
but not finding employment their
stock of money gave out, and one
night about two weeks ago they
were forced, IN the absence of better
accommodation, to seek shelter in
an old steamship boiler that rested
on a street in the vicinity of the
stables of Hustace Il Co., where
they were found by a policeman.
The men were taken to the Sta
ton, and in response to questions
told their story. Their listeners
were satisfied that the strangers
were deserving, and a place down
stairs was furnished for them to
sleep. They passed seven nights
at the station, in the meantime re-
ceiving money enough every morn
ing to provide for their food during
the day Finally they received
employment and are now on their
feet again.
