NOT COLD, BUT COOLER.
Barwick Says We Have No Cold
Waves Here.
The Temperature Moderating A
Sprinkle of Rain, With q Pros
pect of More.

The Weather Bureau reports show the
day to have been 4S0 and $50, with light
to gentle southerly winds and cloudy
weather prevailing, with light sprinkle le
OF rain between and s O'Clock in the
morning and and o'clock in the even
ing.
The barometrical readings at A. NJ.
and P. NJ. were 30.4l and 30.33 inches,
respectively.
The highest and lowest tenn peratures
and one year ago to-day 4l0 and $50.
January so far. according to the
Weather Bureau reports, has given as
many days with minimum tempera-
ture OF $40 and below as were recorded
during the entire year of l893-(fou days
The lowest temperatures ever recorded in
this city in fortyhve years were in jan
uary, 1904, and January, 1855. The lowest
was l9' on each occasion. The lowest on
Saturday morning was 260.
The lowest temperature recorded each
year since the United States official re-
cords have been kept was as follows: 1878,
30; 1879, 20; 1880, 250: 1881, 320; 1882, %;
1888, 22'; 1881, 2l0; 1886, 34o; 1886. 2So; 1887,
IS; 1855, 1872; 1889, 3l0; 1890, 29o; 1891, 260;
1892, 260, 1893. 2S0; 1894, 26o.
1t will be seen that such low tempera-
lures as at present recorded are not an un-
usual occurrence, but they are of short
duration, never lasting longer than from
two to four days at a time, and never Sc
we're enough to damage fruits. Even the
extraordinary cold wave of January,
1888, when minimum of 1872, or 13o be-
low freezing, was reached, did no injury
to the citrus fruits in the Sacramento Val
10y. Therefore such spells as these are to
be looked for every winter, especially in
the latter part of December and first part
of January, and need create no great
alarm to those engaged in the horticult-
ure or viticulture pursuits.
These waves of changeable tempera-
lures should not be called cold, but cool
waves, for cold wave-as understood
back East-is where the temperature
drops from 200 to 400 in less than twenty
four hours, and to temperature un-
known in California outside of the ele-
waited regions of the mountain counties.
Therefore cold wave for California is
a misnomer. The words "very much
cooler than usual" would convey the idea
better than ''cold wave," which means
frigidity of the polar region kind, as used
by the press east OF the Rocky Mountain
ran

Discourse Thereon Last sEvening by
an Oakland Lady.

Discourse Thereon Last sEvening by
an Oakland Lady.
Mrs. w. V. Shoultes of Oakland spoke
at the theosophical headquarters last
evening, on the subject "Inspiration in
Theosophy." Her lecture was directed
to the charge that theosophy is lacking
heart warmth, and was an able reply to
the objection.
The speaker said: ''A complaint has
been made at different times that theoso-
ply is cold. This is the effect which the
main ideas embraced in the theosophical
movement have upon some people before
they have entered upon the investiga-
tion of the details and ramifications of
those teachings.
From definition of theosophy it will
be seen at once how illogical such charges
are. TheOsoDhy means divine wisdom
God wisdom, or the wisdom of the gods.
If we come within its radiance, it is but
the chill of approaching death TO our self
lsh, worldly wisdom that we feel; divine
wisdom comes as the fruit of the contin-
ued effort to be perfect, as the Father in
heaven is perfect If we may quote the
command OF the great Teacher of Naza-
reth, who not only imposed the law of
love, but told us what our aim should be.
This is repetition of Buddha's teaching
as we'll.
'Theosophy insists upon the fulfill
ment OF every command of Jesus of Naz-
areth and provides way for the accom-
piishment of the same. Does such teach
ing seem cold? Ii so, why? Let US see
If its cause is not to be found in the self
ishness Of our nature.
Goodness and warmth are relative
terms. The coldness of Theosophy may
be a state of feeling in us produced by
thespresentation OF system OF thought
Which is less agreeable to us.''
The lecturer here gave instances of diff
ferent classes OF minds differently affected
upon meeting with the teachings of The
osophy, which seem to be adverse to pre-
viously held opinions and doctrines. She
then continued:
This divine wisdom, which underlieS
and is the basis of all religion, declares
for universal brotherhood in the father
hood of God. l fear these words have
been sounding brass and tinkling GYM
balls in our ears, when we can look abroad
and recognize in every degraded and
misery-laden life part of our own weak
ness; when we feel the tie that binds us
to be SO real that we know the criminal
belongs to our family, is manifesting a
part OF our common weakness-'that he
does but stumble in the path we have in
weakness trOd,' we shall not be con-
sclouS OF any coldneSs, tor the warm glow
of sympathy shall fill our lives. Only
those who separate themselves from the
great heart of humanity. in the seclusion
OF pride and egoism, are sensible of
coldness, consequent upon their self
exercised alienation. Whoever will make
himself consciously one-the sympathiz-
ing point in the great organism, human
ity-will be warmed with the whole cur
rent of universal love and life that pulses
like mighty ocean through soul and
soul.
"Theosophy is not lacking in warmth,
in inspiration; but the ideals are so lofty,
the voice ts so imperative so unyielding,
which proclaiins the law of growth, that
it necessarily seems cold and awful, as
the law is awful in its majesty and i'm

But the Thief May Not Get a Chance
To W ear Them This Winter.
Saturday afternoon man went to the
Luil House and asked for something to
eat. The lady to whom the request was
made left him standing in the hall while
she got him something.
The cold weather, however, had put
him in mind of the fact there were other
comforts beside eating, which he lacked,
and as he found that Two of the boarders
had left their overcoats hanging in the
hall he added them to his wardrobe and
walked off with them.
They were missed when their owners
were ready 10 take a walk, anu the police
were notified and man was arrested on
suspicion, but not proving to be the one
wanted he was discharged. Yesterday
morning, however. Officers Burke and
Goods arrested man who gave his
name as James Lont, who, when con-
tronted with the proprietor of the I.uu
House, was declared to be the right man.
The oyercoats have not been recovered.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

If hay is stacked outdoors, the stacks
should be built On good rail founda-
tiOnS.
We are gradually tending in the di-
rection of intensive rather than extern
sive agriculture.
Keep the wagons, buggies, cultiva-
tors, mowers, ETC., we'll oiled, and see
that they are under shelter when not
in use.
A successful farmer J thinks. the
proper time to commence cutting hay
is as nearly as possible at the period
of Towering. All ruminating animals
do better on hay cut at that time, but
horses seem to prefer it made from
grass more advanced. Make the hay
for horses last.
Have you an old rail fence occupying
ground which has not produced you
anything for years but briars and hcr-
nets nests? What loads Of potatoes
you might raise from it if you would
but turn it under. You have been
paying taxes on it all the while. Stop
the leaks; stop the leaks.
The Indiana Farmer says: Stable
manures covered with loan or plaster
will retain their nitrogen and keep in
better condition for spreading on the
field than in any other way. Much is
lost by exposure in all kinds of wealth
er. Both the ammonia and nitrogen CT
manure may be easily lost by such eX-
poSure.

driven. The broad pavements were
tempting. and he strode on and on,
soathward, until he came to the rail-
lead tracks at Sixteenth street.
There was a cry of alarm from the
gatenan. A woman in a pony-chaise
was about to drive upon the tracks
in front of train. Lars saw her face
md knew her. Pushing past half a
dozen men who were dazed by the
danger, he sprang at the borse's head,
stopped him, swung him about, and
fell against the engine as it passed.
When he Was picked up, blood was
trickling from a cash in his forehead
md staining his white hair crimson,
and his arm bent under him as he
was rolled to one side by the crushing
thrust Of the locomotive. The woman
whom he had rescued pushed her way
through the crowd that was gathering
quickly The policeman who did duty
.tear the crossing was taking the
lanes of the witnesses to the accident.
The woman tore open the coat of the
unfortunate man who had saved her
life and was fa nning him with his
hat when she saw the toe of rubber
shoe protruding from mis- pocket. She
,irew the rubber forth, recognized it,
tken wiped the blood from the still
face before her. 1t was her Sunday
school scholar She felt for his pulse.
It was still.

1t is claimed that when cows calve
in the fall there is less danger of
milk fever.
Make a superior quality Of butter
and put Your brand on it. Keep UP
your quality and customers will null
tiply.
1t is very hard to overdo the making
Of first-class butter. The demand for
such goods is generally greater than
the supply.
A writer expires ses the opinion that
It is often the case that the flavor in
the milk which is attributed to the
eating Of some kind of weed in the
pastures is really due to unclea nliness
in some particular.
The most successful dairymen are
most careful as to the condition in
which the young animals are to be
kept which are to be used in the
dairy when they become old enough
for being thus used, says a Canadian
dairyman.
One who realizes the Importance of
cleanliness in handlig milk says that
milk should always be strained through
a fine wire strainer and then through
a cloth. A single trial Of the cloth
strainer will convince anyone that IT'S
use is imperatively necessary in order
to have all impurities removed. -Four
thicknesses of butter cloth fastened to
the under side of the wire straine1
by in ring which slips over it, hold
ing it in place, is a very satisfactory
strainer.
The Jersey Bulletin believes that fat
can be fed into milk, but does not be-
lieve that it can be done suddenly, ol
to the same degree in all breeds, or tt
the same degree in all cows of the same
breed. 1t is of necessity very slow
process. In some COWS it is scarcely
percept.ble during one period of lac.
tation. But it believes also that the
fat making capacity can be developed
to small extent in the very poorest
cows, giving time. patience, skill and
plenty of rich food.

civil war commanded New York reg
iment Soon after the war he was
sent to Annoy, as consul general, and
there distinguished himself as diplo-
matist. In 1867 he went to Japan,
where he arrived just at the beginning
Of the great civil war, in which he
took part, and it is believed his inffu-

the general began to take great inter-
