MANS NEED rs GODS OPPORTU
NIFTY.
BY REV. F. F. BUCKNER.

MANS need, it is said, is Gods OPP
portunity. 1t is so. But let us un
derstand what is meant by need.
AS soon as community has spiritual
needs church is the response. AS
soon as they desire knowledge the
school and the library are forthcom-
ing. Before the need is created
"Wisdom crieth without; he uttereth
her voice in the streets. How long,
ye simple ones, will ye love SIM
plicity, and the scorners delight in
their scorning, and the fools hate
knowledge| Our appeals to men to
love duty are often wasted. Only
when they come to see the beauty of
conduct and enjoy the satisfaction of
such feast, will they respond and
love duty; will every day make new
needs and find expressions in life
longing to be satisfied. Curiosity
will bring the man to church today,
but it will not attract him for the
fifty Sundays of the year. No;
nothing will bring him here and
make him faithful but the need of
that food which he receives here.
Nature shuns vacuum. Where
there is hungering and thirsting
there will be righteousness to fill the
vacuum of hunger and thirst. While
the life feels every desire completed
upon some low plane, it cannot arise
upon the higher plane. The demand
creates the supply. If there were a
church upon every block, built upon
every corner lot, there would be no
more religious aspiration in the
community. But put an aspiration
to live holy in every heart in the
community, and more churches will
be needed to minister to the aspira-
tions.
When the prodigal son sickens of
prodigality there grows in his life the
love and longing for home. Then he
feels sickness and dread in contem-
plating his past conduct. Then filial
duty grows to be a beautiful virtue
and all of his meditations hang upon
the past which he once knew. Then the
parental lessons, trimming over with
love, come marching before him.
Then the fatherlY admonitions once
painful to hear have a sweet sound
of melody. Then deliberation pro-
vokes action and he says, 81 will
arise and go to my father and con-
fess my faults"
We are prescriptions of this dark
hued son of the Orient. We commit
our sins and repeat our folIies and
grow deeper in our ways of neglect,
until the sorrow and shame weigh
like load on our conscience. First
comes hunger, then pain, then little
ray of light, and then a heart that
will deliberate over the past. Then

IN THE SECOND PLACE LET Us CONSIDER
THE WORDS OF JESUS CONCERNING MAN.
Here we pause in wonder and
amazement at the difference between
his teachings and thoseo of the current
creeds of Christendom. l recall a
certain confession that gives twenty
five or six scriptural references under
the doctrine of total depravity, and
of the twenty-six, but one is in the
words of Christ; and careful ex-
animation of that passage shows that
it has no more to do with the doctrine
of total depravity than with the moons
of Jupiter or the rings of Saturn.
Jesus never taught that wretched
SANDER upon the race to which he
himself belonged.
1. Jesus taught the essential
Righteousness of human nature. He
taught in the parable of the sower
that there was some good ground in
the human heart. In the young
man who came to him inquiring the

THAT FOUR-CoRNERED FIGHT.
Arrest OF the Missing Participants-Nc
Complaint Against Thye.

Charles Buckuais, who, together with
Louis Thye. was arrested Thursday
evening in a saloon at the corner of
Also and Garcia streets for engaging
in fight and disturbing the peace, was
mad man yesterday morning. He said
that officer johnson, who had arrested
him and his companion, had got the

filed against Thye in the police cour.

down his bail money and was released.
Buckuais was arraigned, pleaded noc
guilty and had trial set for the 23d inst.

ADAMS WANTS HIS WITNESSES,
And Files a List of $50 Whom He De-

Police Court Clerk Everett had new
experience yesterday in the line of his
official duty, and spent the better part
of the day bordering over plan where
by he could subpoena $50 witnesses, get
them all in the city by next Tuesday
morning ready to attend a trial and
the further problem of where bulldlng

During the sessions of the Republican
county convention a few days ago

trial is set for Tuesday. Yesterday
morning Adams made his appearance
at Clerk Everett's desk, and handing
him a roll of type written pages said
he wished the within named parties
subpoenaed as witnesses in the case.
Everett unfolded the package and
was confronted with the full list of
delegates to the convention. $40 in all.

THE ALLIGATOR PEAR.
(By I. H. CammaclS.)

Nby i. II. CammacK.)
Today, at least, would place second
in Importance to the Cherimoya, the
Avocado or Alligator pear (Persea graf
tssima). 1t Is not a pear at all except
in appearance. The fruit which some
times weighs two pounds, contains one
large seed, surrounded, when ripe, by a
fieshy part around the stone, of bright
yellow color, which, seasoned by pep
per and salt, is much relished by many.
1t certainly Is not so great a favorite
as the Cherimoya, though it is stated
that, SO long ago as ten years, single
firm in New York sold an average of
300 to 500 fruits per week. where they
retail at from 20 to 40 cents each from
June to November. The fruit is said to
ship well and to be steadily gaining in
popularity in that city.
The tree, which is a handsome one
and a vigorous grower, attaining the
size of rank apple tree, has large, OBJ
long, yellowish green leaves which are
very ornamental. The young growth is
a rich wine color. While it has usually
been classed as a purely tropical fruit
1t is claimed for it that it will bear some
frost without special detriment. Its
fruit ripens from August to October
One Florida writer claims it will easily
yield 1000 pounds annually. beginning
to bear at five years, and the fruit sells
the lowest at rs cents per dozen, hence
it is destined to become of commercial

There are three varleties-the red, pur-
pie and green, the latter most highly
esteemed. A correspondent in Mexico
writes me he feels well assured it can
be grown profitably in Southern Cal

out are growing very thriftily and give
excellent promise of success With slight
protection they have survived as low

Berkeley.
This tree is rather more difficult of
propagation than the Cherimoya, from
the fact that the fruit contains but one
large seed and is rather difficult to trans
port in perfect condition. II we mad

trees it would in both cases much facil-

DETERMINATION OF SCALE IN.
SECTS BY STEAM
( BY the Editor.)

by tHe EuitOT.)
Nothing could be simpler than the pro-
cess of killing scale insects by steam and
nothing has been more effectual in the
determination of the red scale (aspidio-
tus aurantii,) the black scale Qecanium
oleae) and the brown scale at Lena
puente rancho, South Pasadena.
The trees are tented the same as for
the cyanide gassing process. After the
tent Is adjusted three-quarter inch
steam hose, which Is attached to steam
boiler, carrying eighty pounds of steam,
is put under the tent and the steam is
turned on. The attendant takes the end
of this hose In his hand and directs the
steam. for an instant, against the trunk
branches within his reach, that are not
covered with leaves. This takes less than
one minute and completely cleans those
parts of the tree, as the hose is held
within one foot of them.
The end of the hose Is then inserted in
hole in box which is fifteen inches
square and perforated with many one
inch augur holes, except in the end OPP
poste where the hose enters The OBJ
ject in putting the end of the hose in the
box is to break the force of the steam
and give 1t chance to expand and dis
seminate throughout the tent at an even
temperature, without going forcibly in
and any portion of the tree the steam
might continue to strike during the pro-
cess.
The steam is left on until the mercury
registers 100 degrees F., although two
degrees higher will not injure the tend
crest blossoms, buds or new growth,
whereas 1876 degrees F. will wilt every
blossom. bud and new leaf
The time required to raise the temper
azure within the tent varies somewhat
with the temperature Of the day and the
amount and character of the wind that
Is blowing. A tent that is twelve feet
nigh and ten feet in diameter can be
heated up In from five to twelve minutes
When the required temperature is
reached, the steam is partially shut off,

TWO COLONIES IN A MIX.UP
Republican heavyweights Collide With
an Electric Car
Times thrown From a Buggy.
"Polititions" Dumped.

Col. Bob" Northam and Col. H. G.
Otis, while out driving last evening on
Broadway, had narrow escape from
serious accident and possibly death.
Fortunately for themselves, neither sus-
tanned damage beyond bruises and
bumps, but their vehicle was smashed
in collision with an electric car ana
the two Republican heavy-weights were
thrown out on their respective heads
and tangled up among the wheels of their
overturned vehicle in anything but dig
nified position.
Since his residence at La Mirada was
burned to the ground, about a month
ago, Col. Northam has resided at $3.50
South Figueroa street. Last evening,
just before o'clock, his coachman drove
downtown with canopy-top buggy to
take Col. Northam home. The latter
invited Col. Otis to share his vehicle
and ride out with him, which invitation
was accepted. Col. Northam had pref
ty speedy animal in the shafts and was
bowling along at a good gait.
In front of the fruit store of G. l.. Myer,
at No CPS Broadway, horse attached to
| light delivery wagon was hitched.
Driving southwark in the same direction
| as Col. Northam, and little ahead of
| him. was buggy containing lady and
gentleman. Just back of the two
| huggieS came a heavily loaded electric
! car, also bound south, and it was this
combination of teams and car that
| caused the disturbance.
Just as the colonel attempted to pass
| the rig ahead and swung in toward the
| car track to do So the first buggy was
pulled in the same direction to pass the
delivery rig standing by the curb. At
| this opportune moment the car cana
along and caught the Northam vehicle
| in the rear. A general ripping and tear
! ing Followed for moment or two, and
when, the atmosphere cleared the colo
| nels, rig was upside down in the street,
! with, Otis underneath and the driver
| spraWling elsewhere. The other buggy
pulled ahead and got out safely, but the
| delivery wagon was dragged backward
| some twenty feet.
Bystanders and the passengers on the
| car, which had stopped, ran to the res
cue, and the buggy was lifted off the
ponderous paunch of Col. Otis, who was
| lying flat on his back. He was assisted
| to rise and his rumpled clothing and feel
| ings smoothed No one had been much
hurt, although Col. Otis seemed dazed
and complained of severe pain in his
shoulder. He boarded passing car and
went out to his residence on Grand ave-
nue.: Col. Northam had large bump
| on his forehead where he had hit the
pavement, but otherwise felt all right.
The buggy had wheel dished and was
| scratched considerably. The other We.
hicle and the delivery wagon suffered no
damage save to paint. After sending
the horse and coachman home, Col.
Northam sauntered off, the most uncon-
cerned parsonage of those present.

AN ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
The Thief Is Frightened Away, But HI
Leaves His Jimmy Behind Him.


Some time during Thursday night or
Friday morning an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to burglarize the cloth
ing store of Harris & Frank, at the COR
ner of Spring and Franklin streets. The
thief climbed over a board fence on the
Franklin street side and gained access
to a small court at the rear of the store.
One of the heavy wooden shutters over
the glass paneling of the rear door was
pried off. but the burglar must have
been frightened off as he stopped and
fed, leaving behind q jimmy, which had
