The operations of the street railway
lines during the past year Indicate a
marked increase in the population of
Los Angeles. The percentage of gain in
the traffic OF the different lines has been
large as contrasted with previous years.
Receiver Crank, of the Los Angeles
Cable Railway company has been at
work on some statistical figures regard.
ing the operations of the company dur
ing the past year. After reviewing the
figures, Mr.. Crank makes the confident
statement that there are more people in
Los Angeles at the present time than at
any previous period in the history of the
municipality. The records of the COM
pany show that the business of 1890 was
20 per cent larger than in 1889, while
the traffic of the road for 1891 shows an
increase of 20 per cent as compared with
the previous year.
During the coming year it is the inten-
ton OF the Los Angeles Gable company
to place electric lines on the mileage of
the company operated by horse cars,
amounting to twenty-six miles. This.
it is figured, will result in a saving of
$4,000 per annum. The power for the
electric roads will be supplied by the
engines which draw the cables, thus
placing double duty on these steam
leviathans. The largest days receipts
in the history of the road is recorded
for the Fourth of July of the past year.
On that day $4,000 paying passengers
rode in the cars of the company. The
average daily passenger traffic for the
past year has been 10000 fares, while
the Sunday average has been $4,000.
The Sunday traffic has been largely to
Westlake park since the Inauguration
OF the Sunday afternoon band concerts.
The following table shows the number
of passengers carried per month, and
the monthly mileage made by the cars
of the company during the past twelve
months:

Thrilling Adventure Of a Miner.

John Clarkson tells an interesting
story of how he came near being de-
voured by large army of rats in the
Baker coal bank. It was his. custom to
cook his meal in the coal bank at din
ner time. One day as he was sitting be-
fore a fire boiling his meat he was star
tied to hear the noise made by running
rats The odor of the cooking meat per-
meated the bank, attracted the attention
of the rodents and they came tripping
along to the fire at a lively rate.
John says he thought the "old bob"
was after him. In little while there
mast have been fully 500 rats gathered
about him and his heart was in his
mouth. He threw them piece Of the
meat, and while they fought for it he
stole away.-New Lisbon Patriot.

equipped house on the Pacific coast.
The equipment consists of two
pair of engines OF 300 horse power
EACH. These engines are provided with
are triple expansion. The steam is fur
nished from three batteries Of Sterling
boilers of 800 horsepower each. The
electrical energy is derived from plant
of immense Westinghouse generators.
At the Maple-avenue power house
there is one 100 horsepower GUNNER
engine and three Edison dynamos of
City horsepower each. Ten OF the cars
are provided with Edison double reduc-
ton motors.
The time service ranges from to 15
minutes on the different lines of the
company. according to the percentage Of
traffic. 1t is proposed to materially re-
duce the time within the next thirty
days. giving three and five minute
service. The electric cars are run at the
rate of twenty-five miles an hour in the
suburbs. The present number of en-
ployees of the company is ITO men in
the direct traffic service and mechanical
departments.
The Temple-street Gable Railway COM
pany has trackage of three miles, and
the officials announce steady increase
in the traf11c of the line.
The Mainstree horse car line has six
miles of track, and a com parison of fig
ures with preceding years shows q
gratifying increase in the same.

Set Upon by the Gang.

One of the Italian exhibitors of per-
forming birds lost green parrakeet out
of his cage the other afternoon on Park
street. The bird few up into an elm
and chartered at the distracted Italian.
"Seenyore, seenyore, climba re tree," he
cried. But no one in the big crowd vol
unteered to "climba re tree" It was
the English sparrow that finally settled
the business both for the parrakeet and
the Italian. A solitary English sparrow
spied the green bird, and set up a loud
sscheep." In three minutes time fifty
sparrows were mobbing the parrakeet.
He took wing with the noisy pack in hot
pursuit. Boston News.

Beecher.s First Home.

One room served for entrance into the
house, for parlor, study and bedroom; the
other to the dining and wOrkroom, writes
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher in describing
the fixst home which she and Mr.. Beecher
had years ago in the west. The bed
room was so small that was obliged to
make the bed on one side first, then go
out on the veranda, raise a window,
reach in and make the bed on the other
side. Not such very troublesome work
after all, when one gets accustomed to
it. The little kitchen. partitioned off
from the veranda, was just large enough
to allow a passage between the cooking
table and the stove into the dining room
without burning my dress, and my
table was only divided from Mr.. Beech
er's study table by tho partition.
For nearly seven years this was our
home-a home full of cares and no lux
uries, but a very happy home-for many
reasons the happiest we ever knew, for
we were less separated there. In Brook
lyn, in later years, Mr.. Beecher's public
duties naturally drew him more away
from the family circle, but in those days
in the west / had him almost entirely tc

About the wave-beat cliffs.

TO heart and mind new vigor on its wings,
Until the soul in grateful rapture sings,

An impress ne'er effaced. Thy beauty cleaves

And solemn grandeur, where thy Wavelets lap
An endless tide; where great cliffs yawn and
gap,
And f1eecy mists their giant forms enwrap,
AS there they stand and wait
Wait through all time until eternity
Until the end for this our world shall be.
And we shall anchor in that other sea,
Whose time shall know no end;
Where pine and cypress sweeter perfumes
breathe;
Where trailing bloom about their nights en-

And DER tired souls their gentle fragrance

Where all things lovely blend;
Where song of bird a sweeter note shall trill !;
Where bud and bloom new fragrance shall in

And angel choirs heavens vaulted arches fill
With grandest melody.

With His dear presence highest joy imparts,
And at Whose word the fount of gladness
starts

noise and avoids the snrlI upper notes.
Each nation has its own kind of voice,
doubtless owing to the climatic condi-
tions which have affected the whole
growth and development of the race.
a point not enough noticed is that, as in
each civilized nat on soma persons will
be- found who outwardly resemble the
average members of another nation
these individuals will show a remark
able affection to the language of the
nation they reese mble, and will have the
very tone and accent by nature that in
required, besides being generally gifted
with good mental powers.
How this variation in race may come
about must be left for ethnolo0ists to
decide. Perhaps these. members are the
unconscious peacemakers between the
Babel-sundered nations From this fact
the following curious result is seen:
Whatever nation man most strongly
resembles it is that nations language
he will speak the best, whether il be
his native tongue or not. In the case
of mixed descent real aptitude for the
languages of the different ancestral
races will be found among such of the
oS CAduCc 10 DC INTEL
iigent, and the resemblance to one of
his progenitors will show at once which
is the best-known language.
A further strange instance IF the
power of the human voice in affecting
the face can be noticed here A man of
unmiXed descent, who is clever and has
talent for languages, will not fail to
learn whatever language he chooses, al
though he will find those most difficult
which are most illogical in construction,
whether they resemble his native tongue
or not. He will in the process insensi-
bly, acquire a thoughtful expression of
/. face, blending the characteristics of
other nations with his own, entirely by
the unconscious harmony OF the facial
muscles with the languages used by
turns
Another effect of the requirement of
foreign languages, roth for speaking
and reading, is new fullness OF voice
richer and clearer tone, unless they
have been attained in a merely superb
ciai manner in which case there will
be instead a hardening of the vocal
powers and sort of blur in the voice

One of Slivers' characteristics is the
jog which he strikes upon starting on a
trip and out of which he will allow no
one to change him He takes it and
keeps it during the entire trip, never
increasing or Stacking save to make a
delivery. However. there are circum-

his own accord. He seems to know
when the time in which to make a fast
mail is short. He seems to get the tip
from the agility with which packages
are thrown on the wagon, and the
racket he makes over the cobble-stones
in his race for the depot is indescrib-

the bang bang of the gong indicate

his nose out ahead of him as he gallops
