''Bang" the Medicine and Walk Five
Miles a Day in the Open Air.
| well remember the advice received
by friend who consulted old DR.. n. Il
skilIful physician, but of rough exterior.
The complaint nv friend made was
"All run down and need some kind of a
tonic or spring medicine.
Bang the medicine :" exclaimed the
old doctor; You just get out of doors
in the fresh air and walk five miles
every day"
Ny friend said he would rather pay
the doctor than take his advice. He
did take the advice, however, and went
afshing for two weeks, keeping out in
the fresh air and sunshine all the time.
He walked to the office in the morning.
He caught the shooting fever and com
menCed target shooting, running 100
Yards down To the target several
times nearly every afternoon during the
spring, and when he met the old doctor
a few weeks later he acknowledged that
medicine was not needed. It is now
the time when many people, who have
been confined in the half baked, un-
healthy atmosphere of the office, store
or shop all winter, should take an air
ing, and the old doctors advice To
Bang the medicine and walk five miles

with both pleasure and profit. The

On skates in Holland.

The average Dutchman of the south,
though he can skate very well, looks rather
foolish on the ice. His short legs and wide
breeches are admirable adjuncts to his
nose, his thin cooked beard and the lump
ishness of his expression. To be sure, this
breadth makes him look Important, but if
he were less muscular it would be sad
hindrance to him in battling with the
wind, which ia winter is apt to make skat-
ing in one direction something of trial.
The Frieslander, however, is taller, bet
ter proportioned, and in all respects hand
some fellow The yellow beard he some
times wears seems to put him at once on a
footing of affinity with the other members
of that respectable Anglo Saxon family to
which we ourselves belong quite as much
as his provincial speech and his blue eyes.
He is most masterful creature when once
he has put on those quaint old fashioned
skates of his, and thinks nothing of max
ing /. score OF miles from one village TO an
other before you and | are out of bed AS
for the cold, what cares he for it? He
knows he must rely on that lusty circuiis
tion of his to keep him from being be-
numbed, though he clothe ever so lightly,
and seems more regardful of his head
which sealskn cap takes care of--than Of
bis well shaped body.-Chambers' Journal

Cupid and the Cat.

1t was in the spring Of the year 1889 when
met my h9sband. | held a position as
artist for Ole of the large firms in New
York city, and he held a position as book
keeper for the firm two floors below the
one we occupied, and became acquainted
with him, and soon our acquaintance
ripened into close friendship and many
were the notes he would send up stairs. AT
last he hit upon the novel idea of using the
large Office cat for messenger boy, and
the first thing in the morning | would see
Tommy at the door of my room crying to
be let in; as soon as the door would be
opened he would walk into the room and
wait patiently for me to take the note that
my friend had tied to his collar from him.
and after l would answer it he would stand
still until gave him little ptting, and
then'of he would go and deliver the note
to my friend.
Strange as it may seem, that cat would
not allow any one to touch him while he
was carrying the note. Through these
notes friendship ripened into love, and we
called Tommy our messenger boy.
Just before we were married Tommy
disappeared, and we could find no trace OF
him, but my husband declares he must be
still living and carrying love messages for
some other happy ones.-CoB. New York

THE EARLY OUTLOOK.
Everybody Getting Ready for Anoth,
Very Busy Year.

Everybody Getting Ready Tor Another
Very Busy Year.
A HERALD reporter took run down
to Redondo Beach yesterday on the
Santa Fe road and came back by the
narrow-gauge. 1t seemed to him that
the plowing was very forward, and that
an unusual amount of new acreage was
being plowed for this years crop. OF a
man who got on the train at Gardena
he asked:
"What do you consider your best crop
around in this neighborhood ?''
"Corn and pumpkins" replied the
man. "You get good prices for your
roasting ears, and then can feed the
stalks and pumpkins to your cows in
the fall. There are good many dairy
farms along this road, and that's why
you see so many pumpkins growing
hereabouts."
The same reporter, speaking about
orange orchards to Duarte man, re-
marked that he thought the soil and
climate of Duarte were better adapted
to orange culture than the surroundings
of Los Angeles.
"Better adapted be durned," said the
man. "That's got nothin' to do with
it. We raise good oranges up here jupt
because we have nothing else to think
about. Every man that's got an or
chard between Lamanda Park and
town thinks he'e got a chance to cell
his place fol $4,000 an acre for building
lots; and that's why he spends neither

THE GENTLE PESCADoRES.

How the Disciples of Izaak Walton De-
port Themselves at Redondo Wharf.
To the student OF nature there is no
more amusing spectacle than the thre e
or four dozen men who are to be seen
every Sunday fishing off the Redondo
pier. All the seven ages of hnan are
represented there, from the schoolboy
in knickerbockers to the aged tramp,
"bearded like the pard," who has re-
Gently arrived from Arizona or a Santa
Fe brake-beam. Every nationality ie
represented by turns; the first conver-
sation overheard is between two Scsndi-
navians:
"Say, Nils. where did We get dot pole.

sSohl" !"
eyes, dots right-upder your hat!"
The next couple are Hibernians that
have been fishing with very inferior
luck. Both have dozen or Is smelts
apiece, but Dan has no mackerel, while
Mike has four big ones.
"Say, Moike, give us them mackarel." !"
"Divil wan yez'll get of me-" retorts
Mike; "bad luck to ye for blaggard
that 'ud shtale butther off the pope's
salmon of Friday. But I'll make a
fair division with yez, DAN"
"Mo,e power to ye," says Dan;
"how,ll ye do that?"
'Here's yer brother Bryan a-comin'
here now, and l have four mackerel.
So here's two Tor you two and two for
me, too"
The next pair are decidedly Teutonic
and have had the smallest catch of any
two poles at the dock. The following
lugubrious conversation is overheard:
Steifelbacher-Say, Shake, nodings
pite you dere, aind it?
Steudenhals-Ya dots so. Nodings
pite me here neider!
But, all joking apart, the fishing has
been good both at Redondo and Santa
Monica for the past four or five days.

an average of rs cents per dozen man.
aged to dispose of So worth during the
day, and there were several others on
the dock that caught over 100 mackerel
during the day. The abundance of
these fish in Santa Monica bay would
soon build up rich and thrifty fishing
village in that vicinity if the country
could only gain small influx of New
England population.
