CALIFORNIA; CLIMATE.
Proposition to Advertise 1t During the
Worlds Fair.
Director Barwick of the State Weather
Service Calls Attention to His
Monthly Bulletins.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN Referring to re-
marks in your paper of the last day or
two in regard TO printing matter for dis
tribution at the Worlds Fair, l would
most respectfully suggest to the parties
interesting themselves in the matter that
1t would be good thing to have 5000 or
4,000copies of the Monthly Weather Bull
letin'' Of the California Weather Service,
under the management of the State Ag-
ricultural Society, published each month,
beginning with the February number,
which will go To press about the Goth of
March, and from then on to say October.
In my Judgment this would be most
excellent thing for the State, because the
director of that service is exchanging
with l20 papers in this State, representing
every county except Lassen and Tuo-
lumne. These papers could be drawn
upon for special but brief articles on the
resources of their vicinity. This monthly
issue, being fresh and just from the peo-
PIE, would be change; for when a lot of
literature is placed all at one time at the
fair for distribution there would occur
more or less carelessness and waste il
distributing the documents.
The bulletin spoken of would contain
10.
and not say that a certain place is FROST
less, when, if their temperature tables
were consulted, nine times out Of ten
they would show temperature record OF
at or very near the freezing point some
time during December or January.
The Monthly Weather Bulletin" has
grown in popularity in the Eastern States
very much. The Issuing OF this bulletin
was begun in September, 1891, with 400
copies, and rose up to 700 last fall, and
now 500 are required to I'LL the mailing
list, and the greater portion of them go
East. To supply this State requires
about 80.
Scarcely week passes but what in
quiries are received asking for certain
copies. l received letter yesterday ask
ing for several copies OF the December
bulletin" bat the answer was, "None on
hand-all distributed" Our.bulletin COM
pares tayorably with the best that are is
sued by any State in the Union.

Dinner a la Russo.

To serve la Russo, which is at once The
simplest and most elegant manner when
guests are present, it is only necessary to
pass the dishes of each course in rotation
beginning alternately at the right and left
OF The guest, writes Mrs. Van kuert in Il @
LuGiea' Home JOUIHuL Some think il
more courteous to serve all the ladies
first, but 1t is notnOW considered u breach
of strict etiquette to serve in regular or
der.
The old French custom required that
the dishes, elaborately gdrnished, and the
meats, sometimes stabbed with silver
skewers, like crossed swords, should be
placed upon the table before the host and
hostess alternately, Tor moment, to give
the guests an opportunity Of admiring
them previous to their being carved, but
this iOrmality has gone out OF fashion
even among the French themselves.
oysters are usually at each place when
the company assemblies, having been
kept very cold, on ice and salt, up 10 the
moment OF serving. y quarter OF a lemon
and very thin slices OF brown bread, but
tered, are the usual cOncomitantS
No person should ever be left without a
plate before hun, except at the time OF the
clearing OF The table preparatory to the in
production OF the sweet course. This is one
OF the primary rules OF serving.
Under each oyster plate ii is customary
to have dinner plate, upon which also
the one containing the soup is placed. a
dinner can hardly be served with ele-
gance by less than TWO persons, although
attention to the prescribed rules greatly
simplitieS the matter.
The soup should be served from a side
table, ladleful TO each plate. Plates are
then carried one by one 10 their destina-
ton.

Tho Sort of Risks People Run Every Day

Why don't more people die Of pneumo-
mia, quick consumption and other lung
troubles?
That IS what think every night in
upper Broadway. There you'll see a
score or two of men coming out of SUI
perheated theaters between the acts to
stand in unprotected full dress around
the cold and drafty lobbies or out on
the sidewalk for chat or a smoke
You'll see them at the Madison Square
garden-square acres of white shirt
front-sitting for hours in an atmos-
phere suggestive of overcoats. They
pour out of clubhouses and hot restau-
rants at all times of the night, often in
| dripping perspiration from exercise
and with careless or no provision against
| the evils of a sudden change of tempera-

know of a man who was out around

There are more than thousand men

If YOU were to tell one of these that
he was running greater risk of sudden
death than 10 he were going into the
heat of an ordinary battle, he would
probably laugh at you. Yet 1T would
be the solemn truth.
If he were a soldier going into action
it would be with blanched face and
trembling knees and silent prayer
| whereas it is now with careless mier
and fiippant tongue and spirited devil
try that he dares the awful specter OF
death.
If he were confined to his room with /

Danger In Furnace Registers.

Il can tell you of one danger that is
generally overlooked said friend.
'and that is in letting inflammatory sub
stances fall through the register. The
other day had a case of china unpacked
in the dining room. The box was filled
with excelsior packing, and after the
dishes had been taken out l told the
maid to clear up the litter ON the floor.
A little later came into the room and
smelled strong odor of burning. 1t was
a very cold day, and there was a hot fire
in the furnece, and as the smell seemed
to come from the register lifted it en-
tirely out and stuck bent poker as far
down the pipe as 1 could reach. With
lot of dust and rubbish brought up a
quantity of excelsior shavings which
were distinctly scorched by the heat. II
was the first time that 1 had ever thought
of the danger of 'sweepings' connected
with the open registers. New York
