again, what would be the result?"
"Hash," quickly replied a little

Dramatic.

Most persons who have the inter

that dramatic entertainments are not
healthful to them. Sometimes, how
ever, lenient elder needs lesson to

confusing and too exciting effect on
Youthful ideas.
An indulgent French gentleman
who had allowed himself to be per-
sUadcd by his nephew TO take him to
see a holiday drama, received this
letter from the boy few days later:
MONSIEUR AND DEAR UNCLE
Recent circumstances have reduced
me to eXtremities. A holiday, the
purchase of 4 desk, the necessity Of
buying my flrewood for the winter,
have reduced me to such a state that
if you do not take pity on my pow
erty. for which l implore your sucCor,
| shall be found in situation which
already makes me shudder with
hororI Alas, l calculate-I calcu-
late, gracious heavens, bear me wit
ness! l calculate that to settle my
account 1 need no less than twenty
five francs. Oh, heayenl can
hardly breathel Yours, with deep
'espect, JACQUES.
The uncle replied: "a dark pre-
sentiment, my dear nephew, made me
tremble when received your letter.
l opened 1t with agitation. Every
line seemed to my shocked eyes to
plunge a dagger in my breast. The
awful picture Of your situation made
me shiver. A cold sweat burst from
me, my face grew pallid, my hair
stood on end, the words died on my
lips, my heart almost ceased to beat,
my blood ran cold, my limbs stiffened,
[ stretched my hand toward my purse.
After calculating-after calculating
all that, in this fearful crisis, l could
do for you, l took out five louis, aud
l send them to you herewith. Your
1ie tionate uncle, GEORGE"

 and Reservoirs.

The above cut illustrates an AUTOMATIC
 WATER GATE, to regulate and keep in subjecton
 the rise of water in canal, due to an over-abund
 ant flow, or to sudden rises in the canal owing to
 severe rains or storms.
 It is particularly valuable to have such a Water Gate placed in lower bank of canal at such points ] along it's line Where there are Ravines Gullies, Arroyos, Foot Hills Buttes, or Tableland as any
 rains or storms bring down at such points surplus | of water that is very dangerous to the banks of canal. Tie Waste Gate, however, will prevent | such damage, as it is
 SELF-ACTING AND A PERFECT SAFETY VALVE
 Relieving the canal at short intervals of it's sur plus water, thus preventing the washing away of banks, and causing great damage generally, not alone to canal, but property owners all along the line, who may suffer more or less damages there after for the want of water owing to the damaged condition of canal and while such repair are being made. Not only is it valuable to relieve canal of its surplus water, to prevent damage and ex- pense, but by its use the first cost of canal con- strucion will be materially lessened as the banks need not be made so high or wide.
 The device is extremely simple, and compara- lively inexpensive Its plan of operation is this:
 There is a pipe fastened to an opening in the vertical gate, 1. When the body of water rises to the level of the upper end of pipe, 2, water runs freely into the tank, 8 which is immediately filed thus overbalancng the weight, 1. which is on the other end of lever, 5, thus forcing open the gate which suddenly relieves the canal of a large sur plus of water When body of water recedes below certain level, no more water is admitted to the tank it therefore empties itself by small faucet opening, 6, at the bottom; this being done the { weight overbalances tank, and brings down the | lever, which, being rigid to the swinging gate, closes it. This operation continues at short in tervals, so long the body of water keeps rising over certain level. The lever, gate, pipe and tank are all rigid and hinge, or pivot, on hori zontal shaft. The gate, Hume or box can be made any height, width, or length desired The gate can be hinged between any bulkhead without box.
 The Water Gate is Perfect Safety Valve, and is to body of water what safety valve is to steam. They can be made any size, corresponding with body of water and size of canal. It is secured by letters patent, and for sale only by

THE RESOLUTION PASSED.

The Legislature Approves the San Pedro
Harbor Improvement.
General Mathews telegraphed to Sec
retary Willard OF the chamber of COM
merce, last Friday, that the concurrent
resolution urging upon congress the
necessity of making an early appropria-
ton for the deep sea harbor at San
Pedro had been introduced into the
legislature and had passed. MIR. Will
lard Immediately wired this welcome
piece of news to Mr.. Allan Forman, now
at Washington in the interests of the
chamber of commerce assisting in the
promotion of the interests of San Pedro
harbor.
"While this action of the legislature
will of coarse not directly affect con-
gress," remarked Mr.. Willard yesterday,
'still by the passage OF the resolution
the whole state of California is placed
on record as being in favor of the harbor
at San Pedro.
"The only direct influence it has lies
in the fact that the senators are in
structed to favor the appropriation and
TO work for it.'
