The eniightment of the Los Angeles
medical fraternity can be no better illus-
trsted than by an incident that took
place yesterday in the Offices of our lead
ing specialists for diseases of men, DIR.
Taicott & Co., corner Main and Third
streets. A leading family physician,
recognizing the fact that he was not
competent to treat certain complicated
case of a private nature of a patient and
friend, brought him to the offices of
these well-known specialists, saying
Doctor, must confess that have
treated this gentleman for over one year
and unHuccessfully. Now, in duty to
him, lay aside all thoughts of ethics
and prejudice and bring him to you.
Having b ard from so many of your
wonderful success in this line OF practice,
and knowing that you have all the facil-
tiles aud experience to mplish this
end, gladly place him in your hands"
After thanking the doctor kindly, DIR.
Talcott said: "You have done just what
l should, had case of measles or fever
come to our Office. It is the age OF
specialists. and we must be proficient.
as We treat nothing but private and
chronic diseases OF men,"
Thus we see that the profession recog-
nize the merit OF these well-known New
York specialists.

THE LUCKY BLOCKS.


Curious superstttion Extant Among
the Chinese Residents.
One OF the most curious superstitions
among the Chinese is their unfaltering
belief in the virtues of the "lucky
blocks" which are to be found on the
affairs in nearly every "Joss house."
They are two blocks OF sandslwood,
about eight inches long aud crescent
shaped. The blocks ft together exactly
on the fat sides and they are daily
called into use by John Chinaman to
determine whether or not success or
failure will attend any undertaking in
which they propose to engage, and so
firm lie their belief in the potency of the
blocks that many merchants are FREE
quently known to either postpone or
abandon some enterprise in which they
intended to engage, by reason OF an UNI
lucky augury as indicated by the blocks.
The half dozen joss houses" in China
town, this city, are each equipped with
these blocks. They are frequently re-
sorted to by lottery ticket buyers. The
mode of testing one luck is very simple.
A few junk sticks or candles are burned
in front of the altar. and then the
student of the occult takes his stand In
front OF the niche containing the gods
and drops the two blocks on the floor.
III they fall, one with the fiat side up
and the other with the round side up,
the inquirer will be gifted with great
luck in anything he may venture to do.
Owing to the shape of the blocks they
rarely fall in this wise, and hence the
Mongols make frequent investments in
candles for the privilege OF trying their
luck. Only one trial a day, however,
counts In influencing the destiny OF any
particular individual.

Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas.

Died, in this city on Wednesday,
Feb. %, 1894, after brief illness, in
her eighty-third year, Mrs. Elizabeth
Thomas, relict of Mr.. William Thomas.
Deceased enjoyed remarkably good
health for one of her age until a few
weeks ago, when she was taken sick,
but was seemingly in a fair way of re-
covery until Tuesday evening of this
week when she had a sudden relapse
which resulted in her death on We'd
nesday night. She was esteemed by
all the community, of which she has
been so long a member, as a good
christian woman and a kind neighbor.
She leaves one son and four daughters,
Mr.. Stephen c. Thomas, Mrs. Mary
Andrews, Mrs. Lizzie Prentice, Mrs.
Sue Lawrence and Miss Fannie
Thomas-who will fondly cherish the
memory of q good and loving mother.
The funeral viii be held on Friday
afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from the resi-
dence of Mr.. S. G. Thomas.

hall, on Saturday evening, March 3.
Mr.. French is director of the Art in

Saturday evening will be "The Wit
and Wisdom of the Crayon." in which
he treats of the analogies between
literature and art, giving drawings of
thirty or forty pictures. including
faces, animals, landscapes, figures, or
namental designs, etc. It is a crayon
lecture, or chalk talk, and as one well
says, pictures grow under the artists
hand as book under the pen of an
author. The press speaks in high
praise of his efforts. The Chicago
Tribune says: "The lecture was illus
trated throughout by the most master
ly inpromptu sketches in chalk
flashes of artistic genius which will
never be forgotten by those who were
fortunate enough to be present"

Salvation Army Meetings.

Where can a crowd of the best peo-

week end? Why, at the very center
or attraction in the city; that is, in the
old Presbyterian church, now occupied
by the Salvation army. The spiritual
magnetism of the meetings being held
there is wonderful, simply irresistible.
Some of the Oldest settlers say that it
reminds them of the manifestations Cf
power they witnessed in days of yore.
What happy combination-the most
modern choruses and modus operandi,
accompanied with real Holy Ghost in
fluence. The subjects of the addresses
and the character of the meetings are
original as the following will show:
Saturday evening will be musical
festival. On Sunday afternoon Capt.
Blackhurst will speak on "Buleah
Land" At $50 p. m. "Afro-Ameri-

A Little DeceiVer.

It can not be called little fraud, as
it is of too great value and is not to
blame for being misused.
Vick's New Branching Aster when
cut resembles the chrysanthemum so
closely that only experts can tell the
difference, and as it comes into flower
six weeks before the "mums," and at
a time when flowers are scarce, it is a
great temptation to the florists to sell
these asters for the "mums." The
Branching Aster can be easily grown
out of doors, and the seeds only cost
25 cents per packet, SO that every
person who has foot of ground can
enjoy grand treat for almost
nothing.
If you want honest goods send 10
cents to James Vick's Sons, Rochester,
n. Y. for Floral Guide, it costs you
nothing, as the ten cents may be de-

able establishment anywhere at which
seeds and plants may be purchased.
They have an established reputation
to maintain which will not permit
them to take advantage of a customer
in any way. Visitors at the recent
Columbian Exposition will recall the
handsome exhibit they made in many
departments. They received twenty
eight awards, the largest number, we
believe, received by any firm in horti-
