one of the episodes that still fingers in
the minds of all who saw it.
The following letter, sent to David A.
Bell, editor of the International Ticket
Agent, at Philadelphia, explains itself:
The people of Los Angeles remember
with exceeding pleasure the visit of the
international Association OF Ticket Agents
and their very interesting convention in
our CITY, Many pleasant friendships were
made with our citizens, and not the least
gratifying recollections of the event was
the hearty appreciation of Southern Cali
fornia by the wde-awake delegates and
their glowing praise of its climate, varied
attractions and resources. season OF
carnival is approaching when, from April
18th to Goth, will occur the second season
of La Fiesta de Los Angeles; the
Queen of the Angels will assume author
ity, and the city be given over to her
merry and magnificent reign. 1t Will be
a notable event, with varied and vivid
programme The carnival has outgrown
its swaddling clothes and has become
celebration of broad scope and original
design, participated in by the entire sec
ton, and portraying most artistically the
romantic history and civilization of the
great Pacific west of North and South
America. Occurring as it does in the
glorious springtime of Southern Califor-
MIA, when the spirit of carnival is in the
air and the land is clothed in its most
enchanting raiment, our thoughts go
back to our friends in the Association OF
Ticket Agents.
We wish to extend to yourself and its
members, through your valuable journal,
on behalf of the Merchants Association
of Los Angeles, most cordial and hearty
invitation to attend La Fiesta, to be with
us and enjoy the splendid spectacles,
pageants, and jolly rule of Her Majesty,
promising a royal welcome and much
pleasure to all who will turn towards the
Land of Sunshine in April. Very sim

FARM ANIMALS
The Agricultural Departments Report as to
Their Number and Value


The report of the bureau of statistics of
the Agricultural Department on the
number and value of farm animals in the
United States on January 1st, shows de-
cline in 1893 in the number and value of
farm animals as compared with the pre-
vious year. On January 1, 1891, the total
value of farm animals was 50, 800, 7S7, 77O.
On January l, 1893, the total valuation
was $2, 4S3, 5O6, ,6S1. But on January |, 1894,
the total had declined under nine months
of Dem ocracy to $2 10, S16, 754, showing
loss of $312, 266, 495 in the value of farm
animals in the short time. On Janu-
ary L. 1895, the returns show a loss for the
year 1894 of $351, $40, 44S, or larger loss
than in the year preceding.
The estimates for farm animals for
January 1895, showed a decrease in the
number of horses as compared with Janu-
ary, 1894, of 1877, S2l, or LII per cent; de-
crease in mules of 10, 123 or 81 per cent;
an increase in mich cows of II, 129, or
10 per cent; a decrease in oxen and
other cattle of 2,243, 952, or 6.13 per cent;
a decrease in number of sheep of 2, 1853,
953, or Gil per cent a decrease in num-
Der of hogs of 1,040, 1872 or 2.30 per cent.
In value horses have declined 241: mules
23.5 milch cows have increased about 1
per cent; oxen and other cattle have lost
IN value Al per cent, while sheep have
declined 20.2 per cent and swine 1863 per
cent.
The decline in the farm prices of horses
is general throughout the country. The

tain and Pacific states and Massachusetts.

Los Angeles county took place yesterday
at the pretty East Side Baptist Church.
There was a fair audience, which was

81 members, an increase of II during the
year. The active membership OF the or
ganization is 2076, associate 1896, honorary
1858; an increase of All active, 1873 asso-
ciate, and rs honorary members. To in
stance the activity OF the societies, the
secretary said that 259 of the members had
been received INTO the church during the
year. As rule the pledge is well kept.
Mrs. Charles e. Miles of Pasadena read
an excellent paper on The Fruits of the
True Christian, followed by Mr.. Fulton of
Pasadena, who spoke ON the same topic
Under the leadership. of |. q. Guy, the

he laid at the door of public sentiment
The proposition to bring the Interna-
tional Christian Endeavor Convention

Revs. Howard and George e. Dye and
Willard Ball. 1t is confidently expected
that, if the views expressed by them can
be brought to successful issue, it will
bring here from all parts of the United
States thousa DIS of young Christian
people.
After another lunch at the same place

Rev. Warren F. Day spoke on the Reason

SHAVING LAWS UNNECESSARY.
How the Stole Indian Rids Himself of

How the Stole Indian Rids Himself of
His Objectionable Beard.
They are talking about the new law
which compels man to get shaved Sat-
urday night or not at all. One of the
men was from the west and he said the
men in Chicago might do as some of the
Indians do. Then he told this story,
says the Chicago Tribune.
'Some of the Indians do not shave.
They pull their boards out by the
roots"
OF course somebody laughed.
well" he said, I'm tell you fellows
how it is. When an Indian thinks it is
time to shave he doesn't go to barber
shop and let a man with razor torture
him. He tortures himself. He reaches
down somewhere and pulls out short,
sharp piece of steel. 1t is about three
inches long and looks like the end Of
the blade of a steel table knife, very
thin and very sha rp and square at both
ends. Then he sits down. Then his
face takes on much the same express
when he thinks the razor is going to
pull. Then Mr.. Indian commences OPP
erations. He takes hair of his face
between the steel and his thumb nail,
and with a short, sharp twitch jerks it
out. And he keeps up this operation
until his face is clear of hairy stubble.
The job takes some time, but then time
to an Indian is something like it is to

THE FWE-fINoEREo ORANGE.
Fruit That Is Shaped Exactly Like the
Human Hand.

The ive-fngered orange is a queer
thing, says Pearson's Weekly. Itgrows
in exactly the shape of human hand,
with thumb and four fingers. 1t is a
half-open hand, that of this curious
fruit, and the close resemblance to the
lean, long-nailed hand is startling.
Even the nails are identical, hard
pointed and clawlike, tipping the orange
fingers with a length equal in some
cases to three inches.
1t is no interloper in a well-regulated
family of oranges, but regular men,
Der, belonging to the Usage variety. 1t
has family name and a Christian
name of it's own, but its pet name is
"fve-fngered orange" and nobody but
the botanist cares to call it by the one
which means the same thing.
The tree, itself, is ragged little
shrub that does not average more than
five or six feet in height in its native
Japan. 1t does not grow straight, as a
properly behaved tree is supposed to
do, but is curved everywhere. Itwould
be very difficult to find two consecutive
inches in the entire tree whose lines OF
directions are the same.
Even the branches grow in spiral
forms, so that the width of the tree is
often as great as the height, The fruit
itself is of light yellow color, a pure
semon hue, growing greenish toward
the stem. The size is immense, consid-
cred relatively to other oranges or to
the size of the tree, the largest ones
measuring, when mature, fully ten
inches from the wrist to the point of the
middle finger, including the nail.
The fruit is not edible-none of the
Usage variety is-but what it lacks in
being unable to tickle the palate IT
morethan makes up in good perfume.
The strangest thing connected with
the perfume is that it is the fruit and
not the flower that is most odorous.
The fruit, when ripe, is so redolent that
its scent can be recognized full mile
from where the orange is growing.

stroll along the Paseo, accompanied by
my wife and daughter. A vender hap
pened along with four very pretty little
birds perched on his finger. They looked
very tame, and, of course, my daughter
wanted at least two of them.
"'How mueh?' asked, pointing to
the birds.
"'Dos pesos para todos, replied the
vender, meaning two dollars for the
whole outfit.
Finally bought two of the birds
for twenty-five cents, and, putting them
into little cage supplied by the Next
can, we carried them to our apart
ments. My little daughter immediate
ly proceeded to get one of the pets out
of the cage, so that she could hold it
upon her finger.
THE little bird made brave effort
to maintain its equilibrium, but sud-
denly toppled off and fell to the floor.
The vender had filed the poor things
with shot. Thus was their apparent
tameness explained. They could not
fly had they so desired. Within few
hours both birds were dead"

The design for the monument is by
