CALIFORNIA GOLD.

Tho Enormous Output of tho Precious
Metal.
The following article ia taken from the
Now York Herald. While the facts are
known in general way yet the enor-
mous output OF gold from this stata has
had such an effect on the worlds his
tory that this epitome will be Of in
tereet
Expert miners and prospectors pre-
dict that the new South African gold
fields, OF which the wonderful city OF
Johannisberg is the commercial center,
will, when fully developed, prove to be
the richest ever discovered. The char
acter and extent OF the deposits in that
territory certainly warrant the expec-
tation that further operations will place
it among the molt famous mining re-
gione in history, its output already ex-
ceeding that OF any other district of
similar geographical area with the sin
gle exception OF California.
It is to California, indeed, that his-
torisns must turn for the standard with
which to ASCERTAIN the comparative
richness OF all other gold fields. The
record of that state in the yield OF the
UTecloun DuClft
In the history of mankind. No other
territory ever developed gold deposits so
enduring, nor has any ever witnessed
profitable mining operations extending
over such long periods OF time.
The gold produced in California since
1850 exceeds sl,250, 900, 900, and the
yield at present amounts to about $13,-
0O0,O0 a year, or perhaps $1,000, 900
more than that of any other state.
The output has decreased somewhat
in recent years, but the decline is due
not to any general exhaustion OF the
territory, but to the suspension OF the
hydraulic mines, which OF themselves
turned out something like $4,000, 900
annually.
These figures set q high mark for the
boomers OF the South African gold fields.
They rspre1ent a contribution to the
wealth of the world never equaled by
any similar area OF territory on the face
OF the earth. And California, notwith.
standing tho diversion of vast sums oi
her energy and capital to profitable
mining operations for other minerals, il
still turning out more than one-third o.
oil the gold produced in the United
States.

MANUAL rnArNIEo,

The attention this subject is nov re-
ceiving throughput the United States 10
such az to demand its most careful con-
sideration by school authorities before
its extensive adoption.
During the past year Mrs. Charlotte
A. Wills and Mrs, 7. D. 6timson have
established cooking schools near the
Spring and Amelia street school build
ings, to which the children of these
schools have been admitted. Through
the efforts OF these game chari.ably in
clined ladies the board OF education
fitted up a room in the CASTELAR, street
school for the same purpose. The ladies
furnished the room and a teacher with
out cost 70 the board aud course of
most successful cooking lessone was car,
ried ON with girls mostly from the Or
phsns' home. 10 tho intention, nnd
certainly q desirable one, to continue
there cooking lessons during the cohning
year and to introduce sewing in con-
nection with them. When it is known
that this very useful work 10 to be con-
tinned by the above named ladies W.T. b.
out cost to the city, Ii becomes mat
ter on which the city should certainly
congratulate itself. 1t is all the more a
subject OF copgratulation because thsse
ladieH are conducting the experimental
and most expensive stage OF the work.
KrEDEReARrEN WORK.
Some interesting facts in connection
with this work Ia given in the report OF
the kindergarten principal, who in part
Gays:
In reviewing the work OF the kinder
gartens since their introduction into the
public schools oil cur city in October,
1890, 1t is very satisfactory to note the
RAPIDLY increasing enthusiasm mani
tested by the people, the interest in the
kindergarten growing with each addi-
tional school opened to the little once.
The fret year OF our work we had
eight schools, the second year IL and
the third year 18, and we look for sew
eral more in the coming school year.
The number of children enrolled DUR
the year just closing was large and the
average attendance greater than any
previous year.
am particularly impressed with the
epirit OF the teachers in interpreting the
principles OF Froebel's philosophy, and
my daily visits to the kindersartens
have been most pleasant and faiisfac-
tory. 1t would be desirable to have q
kindergarten in every school building
in the city, making it compulsory for
every child to have at feast one year of
Kindergarten training before entering
the first grade. II there is to he an
educational movement, it seems to me
it should be in the direction Of estsh-
fishing a closer connec ion between the
kindergartens and primary classess, or
rather IN continuance of the iunda-
mental principles npon which the kim
dergartsn ie based, Amy principle

HOW THE YOUNG ARE TAUGHT,
A Review of the Year in the
City Schools.
Difficulty in Meeting the Constantly
Increasing Requirements.
The Fine System Of Pablo Schools, with
Facts and Figures Showing Its
Growth and, Incidcat~iiy.
That of Los Angeles,

There can be no doubt that the Los
Angeles citizen can and does take legiti.
mate pride In the magnificent system OF
public schools which has been created
during the past few years to meet the
requirements of the times.
From year to year the advance in the
system 10 chronicled and comparisons
are enabled to be made, fixing more
definitely the growth as we'll as the
needs OF the schools.
Los Angeles public spirit a few years
ago took hold OF the school system and
cast bread upon the waters by formu-
lating bond plan, through which new
schoolhouses were built throughout the
city and the foundation laid upon which
the whole structure has been built and
extended.
Yet the rapid growth OF the city has
given an ever-present problem to the
city government in meeting the increRs-
Ing needs of the schools. This may be
seen by reference to the annual address
OF DIR. O. I. Pepper, president Of the
board OF education, at the conclusion OF
the school year.
The number of school children, ac-
cording to the census OF 1892, was
1880; according to that OF 1898, was
1909, q gain Of 1859 in one year, and
the gain OF 1894 is expected to be much
greater.
BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.
In 1889 bonds to the amount OF
100000 were voted, issued and sold for
the purpose OF building the high school
Al II IL
OF other school houses.
The bonds bear per cent interest
and are OF the 20-year series. There are
still $170, 600 of them outstanding; but
another 10000 will be paid in October.

homestead at Wichita, and if his report
is reliable, as it seems TO be, it clears
up a good deal Of the mystery that has
surrounded the home life Of Mrs. Lease.
He found that Charles L. Lease Mr..
Joan Of Arc, the flippant correspondent
calls him) had been discharged from the
drug store where he was formerly en-
ployed about six months ago ON account
of the hard times Then he went 10 the

it looks very much like him. He was
brought up on farm near Freeport,
Ills. and left home 10 become an apothe-
cary, finally moving to Kansas, where
he married Joan Of Arc. He failed in
business, and with the failure ambition
fed. He impressed me as n man who
had been crushed by adversity, and who
had not the slightest desire to ever make
another effort TO get on his feet. He Is
very proud Of his wife and children.

that he is studying law and has pub
