ST. ANDREWS DAY.

Lessons Drawn by Rev. DIR. SpaIdinp
From the Life of the Saint.
Yesterday being st. Andrews day the
Rev. DR.. Spalding of st. Johns Episcopal
Church took for his text the words of the
Lord, What seek ve?" spoken to that
apostle when, with a fellow-disciple, be
first sought him.
He hrst gave an outline of st. Andre WIS
life, of how he was converted by the
teaching of st. John the Baptist and i'm
mediately sought the Lord and, having
found him, was not satisfied until he
brought his brother to him also.
From this life DR.. Spalding drew several
beautiful lessons, first that OF repent
ance-how every one must seek the
Savior through the experience OF repent-
ance, which does not mean simply being
sorry for wrongs done, but also thorough
giving-up OF sell and living lives Tor
Christ. The next lesson was that of the
utter unselfishness OF ST. Andrew life.
He did not ask for position or wealth.
He simply wanted Jesus, and when he
found him he wanted TO work for him and
wanted others to share in the happiness
which he found in that work. His death.
as his life, teaches the beautiful lesson OF
unselhshness.

CALIFORNIA MINES.

The Redding Free Press gives a carefully
considered review of the mining outlook
Tor Shasta County, which in its main lines
will apply equally well to almost all the
mining districts of the State. 1t not only
shows the Frightening prospects of the
miners, but gives the reasons why the
new prosperity is coming.
After referring to some mines in Shasta,
which heretofore have been considered of
small value, it goes on to say:
These same properties are now being worked
to profit, simply because the work is being
done on business lines and 6 legitimate bust
ness enterprises. New and improved ma
chinery aud methods are being employed,
and success is, now the rule where formerly
failure and financial disaster were the COM
mon results of mismanagement and wildcat
speculation. The sensible business methods
adopted and the solid work done in explora-
ton have fully demonstrated the permanency
and great extent of our mineral deposits.
The same reasons which are bringing
the mines of Shasta to the favorab BILE con-
sideration OF capitalists are operating
throughout all the mining counties of
| California. The new era in mining is to
be an era of legitimate business aided and
augmented byimproved processes better
machinery and larger capital. These
forces working together cannot fail to
produce great results, and not in Shasta
only, but throughout the State, can there
be found many mines which were form
erly considered of small value, but are
now either yielding good profits to the
workers or else revealing evidences of ore
which will largely repay the capitalists
who furnish the machinery and the skill

THE DAIRY. INDUSTRY.

During the coming week there is to be
held in San Luis Obispo an institute for
the consideration of the industries of
farming and dairying which has attracted
considerable attention from the people of
that section and promises 10 be of no little
benefit to them.
From the programme arranged for the
meeting, as published by the San Luis
Obispo Breeze, it seems the principal in
terest in the institute will be that OF dairy
ing. The chief papers to be read at the
meeting will deal with some phase of that
industry and are to be read by men who
are thoroughly com petent to deal with it,
There can be no question of the impor-
lance of developing this industry to a
much greater extent than it has at present
in California. The report of the State
Dairy Bureau, just issued, says there has
been imported into our market from the
East for the year ending October 1, 1896,
COS, 200 pounds of butter. and during the
same time 639. $40 pounds OF cheese. 1t is
certainly strange that in a State so we'll
adapted to the dairy industry as ours,
such large importation of dairy products
should be needed to supply the demands
of the people.
Even in its present condition, however,
California dairying is a considerable
source of wealth, and occupies an i'm
portant position among the industries OF
the State. The Dairy Bureau reports that
the value of the products of our diaries for
the year ending October was in the ag-
gregate So, 331 900. The industry is car
ried on mainly in the counties of Marin,
Humboldt, San Luis Obispo, Sonoma,
Monterey, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, San
Mateo and Los Angeles, the three last
named counties being the largest manu-
facturers OF cheese.
1t is noted In the report OF the State
Bureau that the operation of the law
against the sale of oleomargariEe and
butterine as butter has proven very eff
fective in promoting the welfare of the
industry. In period OF fourteen months

THE HOLIDAY TRADE.

There can be no doubt that the spirit oil
confidence in returning prosperity which
followed the election oof Mckinley VIII
show itself to marked degree in the holt
day trade of all parts OF the United
States. We may look forward, therefore,
to livelier and better business this season
than we have known for several years
past.
When workingmen are employed they
make good trade for merchants OF all de-
scripiions. In the aggregate the trade OF
what is known as the working class Is
worth more to every community than the
trade of millionaires. When labor is fully
employed and well paid general pros
perity infuses Itself into every line OF
business, and there are profits tor all.
1T is true that We cannot expect a res
toration to degree of prosperity equal to
that of 1892 all at once. Nevertheless we
have made q good beginning. Mills aad
factories have opened up in all parts OF
the country, and hundreds of thousands
of men are now receiving good wages and
have the prospect before them of steady
employment who at this time last year
were either out of work or were living in
fear OF losing their jobs.
In California we have additional rea-
sons for expecting lively holiday trade.
Not only has the election assured us OF a
speedy return to a system OF protection,
but all our rural industries have had a
season of more than ordinary prosperity.
Crops have been fairly large, prices have
an upward tendency, and while it is true
the greater portion of the grain crop was
- . H. Laf- l.,
rise came, even in this case there has been
considerable gain to the producer over
the conditions of last year.
The growers of fruits, nuts, grapes,
reisins and the producers of wine are CON-
siderably better off than in late years.
While in several of these industries the
output was not so large as it would have
been had the spring season been more IA
vorable, the loss in quantity was largely
made up by the increased price, and, as a
whole, the income to the State from these
industries will be satisfactory. The out
look for the orange crop is exceptionally
good, both as regards the quantity of the
crop and the price, SO that in the orange
growing districts the era of prosperity
may be said to have begun.
All of these things will tend to increase
the trade of the holidays and to put
money into circulation. With improved
trade there will come more cheerful and
sanguine feeling among merchants. and
this, in turn, will lead to enlarged orders
from manufacturers. The trade of the
coming month, therefore, is likely to
prove beneficial in more ways than one.
L; will give stimulus to industry and en-
terprise, and help on the coming of better
times for ALL

REVIVAL OF BUSINESS.
Dnn,s RelIaw-

Dun's Review.
The gain in volume of business continues
entirely without precedent. More than 800
establishments have started work since the
election which were idle, and at least 300
have increased working force, making $50
concerns which are known to have added
largely TO the number of hands at work, and
these are only part OF the whole number.
Every day thus adds thousands to the numb
OF those who are able 10 luy weeks supplies
ano 10 make up gradually for many months OF
enforced economy. Already this brings great
increase in the volume of business, and the
Clearing house exchanges, for the first time in
seVerai years, not only exceed those of last
year by 10 per cent. but also exceed those Of
the same week in 1892 by 9 per cent. Bust
ness men are all anxious to prevent anythin g
like the fictitious excl iement of last summer,
and in nearly all branches an excessive rise in
prices is prevented But with more hands al
work there is inevitably greater demand for
supplies, materials and products.

Well slip our cable, mount, and feel

While deep in night this planet gropes

Of swelling blue we'll join the march
The stately consultations dance
Down through the heavens wide expanse.
Come fly with me, sweet to our ears
Will come the music of the spheres
When youder solar system Jars

Where wheels the whir ing zodiac.
Come fly with me, we'll chase the Bear
And Ursa Minor to his lar;
Well drag bull Taurus from his pen
And beard Old Leo in his den.
Come fly with me DER starry seas,
Wen sail among the Pleiades,
Well tempt the astral gales that blow
Loud in old Saturn's beard OF snow.
Come fly with me- We'll soar and sail
Up where the comet whisks his tail;
Wen take in Venus as we move
Along, and meet the Queen of Love.
Come fly with me, away we'll bound
Where distant Neptune goes his round,
Where Jupiter IN glory turns,
Where Mars, the rudy war-star, burns.
Come fly with me. out in the voids
Wen chase the fleets of asteroids;
In airy race away We'll skip
With Argo Navis-skyey ship.
