Lis land was deep alIuvial soil, moist all the

Some years since, by the union of capital
and enterprise, several islands of the Sacra-
mento were leveed and great quantities of
products raised thereon and shipped there
from to the San Francisco market RecIama-
tion schemes were the order OF the day. and
plans were being devised for a general system
whereby the whole area OF our extensive tuIe
lands might be reclaimed. But the overtop-
ping of levees has relegated this kind of de-
velopment to the past. Reclamation of these
islands was dificult at best, but the rise of the
river beds, and in the wet seasons of the
waters, due to debris deposited, were doubtless
the things that caused ii to be aband doned.

Dr. NJ. NJ. Chipman, in his report to the
California State Medical Society in 1881, on
Medical Topography, Endemics. p" ETC., says:
The enlarged area Of submerged lands and
the obstruction to drainage greatly tend to
increase the extent and frequency of maIariaI
disorders. Physicians Of experience in the
affected districts state that the fresh deposit
contains principle which engenders disease
that partakes OF a typhoid character. and is
much more difficult to manage, and m re
liable TO fatal termination, than the simple
malarial feyers which prevailed previous to
the advent OF debris. Drainage and the dis
charge of sewage obstructed are among the
effects OF the debris flood.

The Coming Woman

Is not as she is painted by unfriendly
critics. She is refined, educated, with
enlarged Industrial possibilities
which transcends the dreams of her
most devoted admirers. Her advance
ment in study of the abstract scien-
ces places her en- an equal footing
with her brother in schools and COL
leges, and in many of the professions
among them medicine and book keep
ing. The coming woman will be en-.
enabled to live withou making an un-
happy matrimonial alliance for bread
and home. She will not be the
bloomered purveyor OF the slang of
the street, or q renegade from the
duties of family and home, but with
enlarged ideas, and with full knowl-
edge of her attachments and of their
Importance, will improve the world
by imparting that knowledge to her
offspring, or to mankind. In business
matters the proportion of those who
are successful are as many as of their
brothers in trade. In the fine arts
and in music they excel. AS cashiers
and keepers of trust funds the coming
woman, the new woman, is found to
be reliable and entirely trustworthy.
Who says, endowed with these quail
ties, she is unfit to be entrusted with
the ballot. She may drive IL horse,
ride a bicycle or wear bloomers, not
for notoriety, but to suit her occupa-
tion and convenience with the same
unquestioned right AS her brother.

Many of Thorn First begin to Dance While
Playing In tho Street.
In this age of burlesqucs and ballet
girls, when farce comedies are plenti-
fully supplied with high kicllcrs and
dancers, and when even the chorus girls
arc expected to trip the light fantastic
toe, one often wonders where all the
dancing girls come from. The natural
inference is that they secure their first
knowledge of the graceful art in the
dancing schools, after which they are
prepared for the stage by persons who
make q business of that sort of thing.
But many dancing girl will tell you
that her first school was the sidewalk,
and her first inspiration the strains OF
a pcrambulating street piano, presided
over by an Italian grinder. Indeed, it
is no uncommon sight to sec crowd of
interested spectators gathered about
one of these street musicians, the at
traction being not in the music, but in
the graceful movements of the little
girls. Some of these children execute
some very pretty steps, and occasion
ally their performances are us clever as

Tho Useless self-Sacrinco of Gallant
AN American lady, promenading in
Florence, suddenly missed her purse.
The suspicious movements Of a man in
front made her boldly demand the
stolen property, and the man actually
handed over her purse. Indignant at
such daylight robbery, the lady stopped
an elegantly dressed man, and, in ex-
cited tones, began to pour out her griev-
once. Merely waiting to hear: "That
man stole my purse!" the gallant
Italian rushed after the thief, who
promptly took to his heels. But the
thief was the more nimble of the two,
and finally lodged his pursuer. Red
faced, perspiring and out of breath, the
gentleman turned back to meet the
lady with profound apologies Mad

but your purse is gone" "Oh, no." she

with vexation, he gasped: Justice!

Mrs. Burton Harrison tells of an Amer

finding her seated in q big chair by the

same needlework, or some very like it,
In her hand, and, more remarkable
still, the same young man called and

BICYCLES INSTEAD OF wArcHE!
Boys of To-Day Want Wheels Instead Of
Timcplcccs.


Timcpicccs.
Bicycles and watches are not much
alike, and it is difficult to see how the
sale of one can affect the sale of the
other. 1t is fact, nevertheless, that
since the bicycle fever took hold in its
present intense form the sale of high
grade watches has greatly reduced.
Parents who buy bicycles for their
children do not buy watches unless,
perhaps, they get cheap ones, 80 tho
young ones may know when it is time
to come home to dinner.
"Thc decrease in the sale of watches
has been very noticeable" said Chi
cago jewcler the other day, "and
trace it to no other cause than the
bicycle. For instance, when boy be-
came fifteen or sixteen years old in for
mer days it was the custom for his
parents to present him with witch
generally a costly affair-which usually
lasted him the better part of his life.
But it is different now. The boy
clamors for q bicycle, and he generally
gets it, although it does not last us long
and usually costs more than watch.
This same trait have noticed in peo-
pie of older years. When they get
enough money on hand to buy watch
the bicycle fever strikes them, and then
they go out and invest In wheel"
