THE Il" CENT. F"

"What California needs''-said that
very wise and good man, DIR. Stebbins,
at the Unitarian dinner last week
"aDIat California needs is plain NOR
dLity, industry, .frugdLity and the cop
per cent"
The mission of the cent, in COM
merce, is far reaching and whole
some. 1t is a mile post, on the
highway of civilization. We re-
member when the "rial" twelve
and a half cents, Spanish coin) was
the smallest coin in use here. Our
rulers, who introduced the large
copper cents into this country,m many
years ago, failed to see the economic
condition. The cent wouldn't be
sent, and the natives resented its
introduction, and it had to go. The
people had not reached the mile
stone of the copper cent. Nations
that manufacture, like fine ships,
must be copper bottomed. Only
when there is close competition,
and thorough commercial organiza-
ton, and great skill, has the cent
any place. We used to see an old
millionaire, the president of a bank,
walk by the Wall street ferry, in
Brooklyn, n. Y, over which the
fare was two cents, and take the
Fulton ferry, half mile beyond,
where the fare was one cent. He
said that he had great respect for a
"copper"" and in keeping his eyes
on that, he had gotten far ahead
of the men, who looked only
at the dollars. The argument,
from small coin, may, however,
be carried too far. The fact
that a cheap dinner may cost
10000 "millereis," in Portugal,
does not prove that the Portuguese
are exceptionally prosperous.
The people of California have
not yet reached the penny mile
stone. They have not reached that
point in public or domestic econo-
my, which calls for the cent. They
can compete with no manufactur-
ing nation, because their ways are
too extravagant. The trail of the
golden serpent is over them yet.
The Examiner IS. F.) said re-
Gently:
California does not today supply
her own fruit market. We import
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth from the East and Europe. We |
raise the best cherries in the world,
and our brandies are first-class. but |
the branded cherries in our best no.
tells and restaurants come from |
France. We ship oranges all over the |
world and import thousands of cases |
of orange marmalade from Scotland
a country that raises neither oranges
nor sugar, and imports all its mater
ials for this industry. We raise to-
matoes in profusion and send them
out fresh and in cans at ridiculously |
small prices; and we import carloads
Of tomato catsup from Cincinnati.
We grow walnuts at a few cents
pound, and have vinegar at rates that
cannot be matched, and we import
our picked walnuts from London.
Preserves, marmalades and jellies in
glass are imported in quantities TO
San Francisco"
This language expresses a condi-
lion of things which shows that the
cent is not wanted. When the peo-
pie Of that State begin to do fine
work, they Will have the penny,
out not till then.

Investigation as to the general
practice of total abstinence among
the ministers of England shows that
the Primitive Methodist ministers
are, without exception, total abstain
ers. Among the Baptists, eighty
seven per cent, are abstainers, and
among the Wesleyans a slightly
lower per cent. In Wales, all the
ministers and preachers of the
Calvinistic Methodists and Congre-
gationalists are abstainers, and over
ninety per cent, OF the Wesleyans,
Baptists. and other Nonconformists.
In the Church of England the num-
bsr of abstainers, it is said, is grow
ing annually, bnt is still considera-
bly, below the average.

Unless independent candi-
dates bob up before elections
the men nominated Saturday
night will be elected on a
"heads | win tails you
lose" principle. The fact that
there is no opposition, no
second or third party in the
field for political honors takes
away from the election any of
the deep interest shown by the
people of San Francisco
whose municipal and even
state politics are in the hands
of Burns and Buckley.
In Honolulu as in every
other locality there is more or
less desire for having ice in a

rangement suitable for hold

mented so as to make a handy
piece of furniture for a room.
Any one familiar with night
thirsts will appreciate the value
of a thing like this. The

will appreciate it because it
obviates the necessity of go

IF you WANT A GOOD
CHE WING GUM.

The practice of chewing gum
is old. Our great grandfathers
used to be gum chewers. They
gathered the gum themselves
in the woods. But perhaps
you've tried chewing spruce
gum" That was the olden
time gum. There wasn't any
better gum then. Life is too
short to chew any other sort
but BEEMAN's. It's up-to-date.
It's ready and chewable from
the start.
Mr.. Beeman says there is a
small amount of pepsin in each
tablet. You know that pep
sin aids digestion. We have
customers who affirm that
their digestion has improved
since they have chewed BEE
MANS Gum.
Have you ever tried it? It's
a fve-cent experiment.
Give the children BEEMAN's
Gum. It's better for them
than candy; it's cheaper; it
won't upset their stomachs.

A Locomotive Race with n Moose.

The morning express from Houlton
had queer experience Tuesday fore
noon. Between Island Falls and Crys-
tai, about thirty miles out of Houlton,
the engineer saw huge moose on the
track, watching the approaching train
and evidently undetermined whether
to derail it or jump off and let it go
about its business The engineer
blew succession of sharp blasts with
the whistle. Mr.. Moose evidently
took this for the word "Go" for a race
between himself and the huge monster
which he saw approaching. At any
rate, he turned, and, with the train
not more than dozen rods from him,
he set sail down the track. The train
was moving at the rate of forty miles
an hour, but the moose flew like the
wind, and kept his distance. The pas
sengers heard the warning blast of the
whistle, and knew that something was
on the track, but not until the train
reached Crystal Station did they learn
that they had been racing with
moose. For quarter of mile the
big animal kept up the almost incred-
ible pace necessary to keep ahead of
the train, and then, as if satisfied that
he had convinced his competitor that
there wasn't anything in the steam
line that was coming up into Aroos-
took and do him in sprinting match,
he left the track and plunged into the
woods.-Lewiston Me- Journal.

Deepest Hole In the World.

Shaft No. 3 in the Tamarack copper
mine at Opeechee, Mich, has now
reached depth of over 4,200 feet,
nearly a mile, which is the greatest
depth man has ever attained into the
earth.
A trip threo-quarters of mile into
the bowels of the earth is a decided
novelty, says the Chicago Record. En-
tering the cage, which is an iron ele-
vator, fitted with all modern safety APP
pliances and hoisted or lowered by an
inch and half wire cable passing over
n great drum in the engine house near
the shaft, the signal is given to lower
A seperate cage is always used for
carrying men and the rate of speed is
less than where rock is hosted or tim
ber lowered in the other compart-
ments. The trip requires five min
utes, and, as the cage sinks at the rate
of speed equal to that of the swiftest
elevator in a modern sky-scraper, the
dark walls of rock, on which a faint
light is thrown by the candles and oil
lamps of the party, seem to be swiftly
shooting upward, while the cage is
standing still. At last the bottom is
reached. A dozen miners, covered
with CRIME and dust, are busy at work.
Powder drills. fed by compressed air
coming almost mile through iron
pipes, are tapping the rock petulantly.
Men are shoveling the rock blasted
from the lode into the cars, which are
trundled into cages and hoisted to the
surface. The candles throw weird
shadows, and as the reflection comes
to the mind of the mortal from earth's
surface that he is deeper down under
the earth's crust than man has ever
penetrated before, the desire to ascend
to fresh air and sunshine is apt to
come uppermost.

SOME IDEAS IN SLEEVES.

1t is now announced that the single
mutton leg sleeve is not enough, so a
double one is shown. The outer part
OF it appears to have come loose from
the arm hole, except under the arm,
and all its fullness falls in close folds
down over the top of the arm to about
the elbow, disclosing not the bare arm
but an undersleeve of contrasting color.
This makes the girl with the ugly elbow
stop and think, aud her party gown
will show an adaptation of this notion.
She will have shoulder strap and to
this will be attached on the under side
an open gigot, which will fall loose
from the top of the arm, but which
will come into band at the elbow and
80 cover the elbow in bag fashion.
1T the top of the arm above the elbow
is good, as is often the case when the
rest of the arm is ugly, she will let it
show; if not she will fill in with tulle
where the gigot falls away. She can
meet the elbow band with long gloves.
This sort of sleeve is more effective
and newer than the usual trick of the
gigot split, like ripe chestnut, on the
top Of the arm. The latter. making a
