RAIN ALONG The COAST,
Farmers and 0rchardiStS of the
State Are Benefited by a
Downpour.
Moisture and Warm Weather Give
an Impetus to Growing Fruit
and Grain.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. ia steady,
light, warm rain of so of an inch fell to-
day, making a total of about four inches
for the season, which should have been
four times that quantity to meet the
average. The weather for several
weeks past has been warm and
bright, and farmers have complained
for nearly a month. They welcome
to-day's rainfall as the salvation of crops,
though it was not so badly needed as in
the Salinas Valley, where only slight rain
had fallen up to 7 O'Clock this evening.
Reports from jacksonville say rain began
at o'clock this afternoon and is general

BIG SPRINGS.
Pennsylvania Has One Whose Flow Ii
100000 Gallons n Minute.

Pennsyivania Has One Whose Flow Ii
100000 Gallons Minute.
Pennsylvania possesses number OF
remarkable springs. The big springs
of Bellefonte, the Beautiful Fouut,"
from which the town derives it's name,
and which pours forth 100000 gallons
per minute, has had it's story repeatedly
told. But almost within the limits of
Bellefonte is another spring, never
mentioned, almost unknown, because
of it's rival in the borough, which for
purity and outpour is as large as the
one in the town. A pure crystal stream
of water two feet deep and ten feet
wide gushes forth the year round, and
the temperature varies but two de-
grees, being that much warmer in the
winter than in the summer. Then there
is the spring at Axe Mann, another very
large one: but among the marvellous
springs in this section is the famous
rock spring. There the water gushes
feet high and feet wide, with clear
ness that rivals even the crystal. No
rain has ever been severe enough to
even make the water of n murky color.
From out of the depths of the cavern
Gus rock come various specimens Of
the finest fish, among them being the
delicious mountain trout, and, though
they can be seen coming out, no one has
ever been able to sec a single fish swim
into the cave. Whether they are bred
underground, or where they come
from, is a mystery that has never been
fathomed.
Another remarkable spring is in
Huntington county, near the old fur
mace by that name. There the cavern
which is the outlet Of the spring is of
such dimensions that a team of horses
can be driven into it for a considerable
distance. Ten rods from its source the
spring gives a stream of sufficient
power to run large grist mill, and it
was never known to be too low for this
use. Then there is the "Blue Spring"
in Bald Eagle valley, named so because
when looked into the water seems as
blue as indigo. This is because of it's
great depth, a matter which to this day
is an unsettled question. This spring,
which in appearance is like well about
four feet in diameter, has been sounded
to a depth of several hundred feet with
out finding any bottom. The water is
near enough to the top so that man
can lie down and drink from the spring.

remain in that gloomy Old house alone.
So, one sad day, overpowered by the
sons and daughters who meant to be
kind, mother went softly to and fro
over the old house, taking leave of it all,
and the last farewell was the visit to
the mounds under the dropping elms
where John slept and the first born lit
tie son lay. Then, with feeling that
the world can never quite understand,
she was driven away to the fine city res
idence-they don't call them homes
nowhere Alfred and his wife, who,
for all her kindness, rather overpow-
cred mother with her fine ways, had
given her a stately room, and, what
was the most dreadful, she was sup
posed to keep it there alone by herself.
Yes, they meant to be kind to her, but
the city ways and style gave the old
lady the feeling that she was in an asy-
lum, and, in spite of all the grandeur,
mothers wrinllled cheeks lost their
soft pink like that Of half wilted rose,
and she began to grow feeble and worn,
though everyone was so busy that 1t
was passed unnoticed. She was pining
for the old home, though she felt that it
would seem ungrateful to say so, and
then, somehow, to pray in the mag
nificent church, where she sat in a vel
vet-cushioned pew, did not seem to give
her the help she prayed for, for God, az
il seemed to her, was not as close as
when she used to pray at home kneeling
by that old table. If she could only go
back and tell her friend all about It;
just once kneeling where John used to
come and Join her. This feeling grew
and grew, though, as there was no one
to tell it to, she shut it up in her own
lonely old heart.
One summer morning she was miss
ing, and she could not be found, though
they searched everywhere they could
think she would be likely to wander,
but in vain, she was gone. Then AL
fred recollected all at once that he had
rather neglected his mother of late.
His wife forgot her cultured calmness
and joined in the search, weeping bit
terly. Henry left his desk for once
and set the telegraph wires to work,
and confusion and grief reigned SUI
preme, while the sons and daughters
found their thoughts running back
again to childhood and mother as they
had not done for years. Hours passed.
and no news came from the missing,
then their fears and grief grew create,
and stronger. Mother was gone.
Perhaps she had gone home. The
thought was sudden, and, too impatient
to wait for trains not due for hours yet,
they set off across the country in their
carriages. AS they drew near the old
home they found news of the lost one,
| She had passed only about an hour be-
