Why He Never Licks Stamina.

One day after coming from the post
office put dozen stamps in my desl
and closed the lid. Then | went ava,
and returned again an hour or SO after
ward Upon opening my desk | saw
upon these stamps at least a dozen big
nasty looking reaches, or "water bugs,
as they are sometimes called. They
seemed to be so intent upon some occu
patton that they did not run away with
the almost hghtninglike rapidity with
which they usually disappeared when.
ever the desk was opened.
At first | thought that they were stuck
to the stamps, but upon observing a lit.
tie closer l saw that they moved about,
and 1 was finally convinced that they
were eating the gum from the backs Of
the stamps. By placing large reading
glass SO as to magnify the reaches, OBJ
served that they secreted a saliva on the
gum and then when it became soft they
seemed to suck it off. Little bare spots
appeared on the stamps, and these spots
gradually grew larger until the stamps
had the appearance of stamps from
which / had imagined the gum had
evaporated.
Since that time you may be sure
never touch my tongue to a postage
stamp. and Ii almost nauSeates me to see
any one else do it.-Interview In New

The "Oyster', of the Turkev.

Many viii recall the oft repeated story
of the young epicure, Brillat Savarin's
son, who ordered thirty turkeys for his
dinner When his father reprimanded
him for such extravaganza on an occa-
sion when he dined alone, the youth re-
called the fact that there was one portion
of the turkey which the father had al
ways reserved for himself-the very It'd
bit Of the bird-and as there were but
two small portions of II IN each bird the
order could in no way be called extrava-
giant This tidbit is known as the ''oyster'
of the turkey, and probably not one car
ver il twenty can tell you exactly where
1T lies. 1t is not, as many suppose, a
piece of the white meat of the breast
The breast is composed OF only two dis
tinct layers on each side, the upper and
lower tillets. The ''oyster," In fact, Il a
portion of exceedingly tender dark meat,
which lies in the hollow on each SIDE Of
the backbone near and Just above the
second joint.
By examining the bare carcass Of a
carved turkey the two hollows where the
''oysters" he will be easily perceived, and
one will note that their shape is q long
oval similar 10 that Of q Rockawsy oyster.
Unhappily this tidbit Is often ignored
by the carver or is sliced with the second
joint. It should be served i.Itact 70 any
one at table who can appreciate the best
bit of the bird.-Sew York Tribune.

it year in and year out. If the mill.
ions that have been thus deported to
Sacramento during the past decade had
been kept in Southern California, and
allowed to fructify, what innumerable
enterprises would have been vitalized
to the point of success? The time can
not be long distant when such consider
ations will have an irresistible force.
They cannot be smothered much longer.
The HERALD has contained series OF
articles which have shown how feasible
the project of creating q new state is,
and which have furnished precedents
which show that the only obstacles to its
creation are those which may be en-
countered from the people of California.
A little energy and spirit of union
amongst ourselves will result in giving
to the Union one of the brightest gems
in the galaxy of states. In his speech
before the chamber of commerce ex-
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, said Cali
fornia was entirely too large, and ought
to be divided. There cannot be two
opinions as to this fact, which an intel
ligent visitor appreciated at once. While
this is perhaps not the time to agitate
the matter, all the same it is we'll to
keep weather eye on the proposition.

MEN and brethren, would it not be q
positively delightful thing if we had a
state of South California? 1t would be
the making Of this section, no matter
where it should be located. We pre-
sumo that geographically the center of
this ideal commonwealth would be Los
Angeles, which is, and probably always
will remain, the metropolis of Southern
California. What an absurd thing IL is
for the southern counties to be packing
such an immense surplus distance of
five hundred miles, more or less, to
Sacramento? When the school fund is
returned to US that is the last dollar we
ever see of all the large remittances
which we send up to the state capital.
Taking the counties generally grouped
in what would be the commonwealth of
South California, this surplus would
probably foot up three.quarters of a
million dollars yearly. That is large
sum to be annually withdrawn from a
section, and it is high tribute to our
recuperatiye abilities to be able to spare

CONSIDERABLE excitement was caused

CONSIDERABLE excitement was caused
among the German residents yesterday
evening by the circulation of rumor
that the imperial palace in Berlin had
been blown up. Several members OF
the German colony called at the HERALD
office for confirmation of the report, but
as the wires were down east of Chicago,
the Associated Press's foreign budget
was delayed until after midnight. Full
reports received before going to press,
however, chow that May day was
observed in very quiet manner in all
the European centers. Outside of a
few comparatively harmless bomb
explosions in France, there were no
serious disturbances. The precautions
taken by the authorities evidently had
a wholesome effect. In this country
there we're eight-hour demonstrations in
the large cities, but no disorder oc-
Cured. A few Anarchists were arrested
in Chicago for carrying red flags in a
procession, but this action of the police
created no excitement.

OCCASIONALLY one hears the remark
that our schedule of real estate sales
shows lamentable falling off. 1t is
true that they are not what they were
in the boom days, but they are quite
considerable all the same. They far ex.
ceed those of any other city ON the Pa
cific coast, unless San Francisco is the
exception, and we doubt if it is neces-
sary to make this exception. 1t can no
longer be said that they are largely in
settlement of transactions during the
boom. 1t is over four years since the
collapse of the real estate excitement OF
1857. The fact is that there is very
heavy demand for eligible real estate for
investment purposes, both in the city
and country. The Improvements which
are being made in Los Angeles of late
are of notably fine order, both for
business and residence purposes. At
present prices investments in real prop
erty are sure to prove remunerative.

On THE first of July the postoffice
will be moved into the federal building
on Main street. A mention of this fact
will remind our prople of what mean
and measly affair the edifice is. 1t
would disgrace city of twenty thousand
people, and is utterly inadequate for the
purposes for which it was constructed.
1t will certainly not afford facilities for
the transaction of our postal affairs.
Why cannot a movement be at once
made to turn it over to the other federal
officials, with view to putting up a
postoffice worthy of Los Angeles? When
ever an Angelef1o takes look at this

gret that we cannot always have such

THEOSOPHISTS MEET.
FHATUREs OF THEIR GATHERING
LAST EVENING.
Christ Claimed as an Adept-Other
Points of the Discourse-A Theo-
sophist on Adonis.

A Theosophical Conception Of Jesus
was the subject of the discussion at the
meeting Of the Theosophical societies at
st. Vincent's hall last evening. Thes-
oophical students have claimed adent.
ship for the man Jesus, and believe the
Theosophical conception of Christ
to be a broader one than
that usually taught by the
Christian theologians. This claim
if established, would explain the mar,
velous works of Christ on the basis of
mahatmaship on an expanded a
broadened plane of CONSEQUENCES. Thau
teach that the divine element in Jesns
or the Christ element, was a develon.
ment of the divine that ia latent n
every mortal and is broucht ont
through the spiritual evolution
of many reincarnations. There
is much documentary evidence in
support of this position. G. r. Tnctar
read several extracts from the Anocrv. .
phal New Testament from early Chriat.

council of Nice, that seemed to snnnor+

discussed the subject at length
Miss Marie Walsh gave an interesting
disquisition on the astralcorrespondence
of the Christ life, of the symbolism of
it. Theosophy teaches that everything
that exists on a material plane, has its
true analogy on the astral plane or
Akasa. The lessons to be drawn from
this idea of Christ were transcendental
in the extreme. AJapanese Theoeophist
and Buddhist, Hirai, who arrived in
Los Angeles on Friday spoke briefly.
Next Sunday evening he will speak on
Buddhism, its purity and its supersti-
tiOns.

More About AdOnfs.

In an interview with Mr.. Abbott
Clark, a member of local Theosophical
society, last night, he first laughed at
the Examiners account of Byron
Adonis San Francisco career and then
said with Indignation that the reporter
had gone daft in his endeavor to concoct
sensation.
He said that the article descriptive of
the cremation and the ceremonies in
Los Angeles, however, was eminently
correct and dignifed.
There is no such order" Mr.. Clark
says. Sin Buddhism as The Noble Order
OF Chiefs into which they admit chief
esses' and have not any order which
sensuality or corruption enter in
! any fashion.
lG f'Buddhism is system of pure ethics
| 4nd high philosophy and any such thing
as immortality as such is entirely incon-
| sistent and impossible to the severe
practical morality practiced by it's fol-
lowers. A few OF the early Christians
| lived high, pure and aecetic life,
while every Buddhist is supposed TO be
to a large extent an ADcetic.
AS to Byron Adonis, the Theosophists OF
this coast know but little about HIM,
but from all that had been heard from
those who were personally acquainted
with him, he lived a very high, pure
and moral life.
"It was said that he spoke nearly
every modern language, as we'll as
Latin, Greek and Sanscrit, and, while
Theosophists do not believe in the super.
stitions that have overlaid the pure
teachings of Buddha, they do believe in
and regard with great respect the
straightforward common sense and the
high morality of the esoteric Buddhists.
IAN order founded upon principles ol
sensuality, as that depicted in the Ex.
aminer article, is utterly subversive oi
all teachings of Gautama Buddha, which
promulgated all ideas tending to higher
spiritual lives, and to the practicing o1
denials of all earthly desires. The alb
eurdity of accusing Byron Adonis ol
proselyting for an order of sensualism
and at the same time saying that he
was student of esoteric Buddhism anG

were brought into communion with the
churches there by his evangeliz-
ing efforts. There has been q
general union of the ministers of
this city to aid Mr.. Fay in his work.
Some thirteen local churches have joined
heartily in the movement, and great
deal of very effective preparatory work
has been done by them to pave the way
to this revival, which he will inaugurate
next Thursday. 1t is said that Mr.. Fay's
methods are different from those gem
orally adopted by revivalists. He is
not an emotional exhorter, but works
entirely on lines that appeal directly to
the strongest and deepest sentime nts of
the heart. The reports we have had Of
his work in eastern cities show that
he has a gift to draw into the fold great
masses of men that had never been
reached by the ordinary methods of
evangelization.

Frank Littlefeld Does Not Know How
He Was Hurt.
At an early hour yesterday morning a
telephone message summoned the patrol
wagon to the Terminal depot to bring to
the receiving hospital man whose
hand was crushed and who had received
other injuries.
When brought to the station the in
jured man was in semi-unconscious
condition. Drs. Ainsworth and Bryant
found it necessary to amputate the little
finger of the right hand. There were
slight bruises upon his left temple.
After he had sufficiently recovered he
gave his name as Frank Littleield. He
has worked in the Fashion livery
stables on First street. He can give no
account as to how hs received his iniu-
rieH.
