SOME I CA VES

The Pacific coast lacks the grand
eur which the plutonic rocks OF the
| New England shores give to the At
lantic, yet there are many picturesque
sections where the waves nave cut
the rocks into strange anc plctur-
esuue shapes. At Santa Monica there
is a fine natural bridge, which, If t
ter known, would attract wide atten-
ton. 1t is a lofty arch, forming part
of an adjacent mountain, and at 10"
tide can be entered, constituting the
shore passage at this point of the
coast.
The islands off the coast of Los
ANGELES and Santa Barbara Countles,
Southern California abound in some
remarkable caves An interesting
one is situated on the island of Santa
Catalina, which is a trip OF o
thre hours and a half from Los Ange-
les. The cave lies on the eastern side
near what is known as the 1sthmus,
and from the sea presents the appear
ance of a large, shallow room, the
entrance being, at low tide, thirty or
forty feet in height. The writer's at
tention was attracted to it by the
strange play of light on the front
walls and roof, giving the impression
that it was covered with the webs OF
spiders. moving in a tremulous man
ner. At the entrance the water IS SO
deep hat the largest ship could
thrust the tip of her bowsprit in
to the avern, and of a rich blue,
telling OF great depth. The blue tint
directly in the entrance of the cave
has given the name of Blue Cavern TO
the great opening in the rock.
Pushing boat in, one is surprised t
find a small tunnel branching OF to
the right-the real cave. The writer
entered this in a small boat one day
when the sea and tide were low, and
penetrated it without difficulty. The
water was about six feet deep, over a
perfectly level floor covered with
PEBBLES and seaweeds, while here and
there could be seen the sparkle OF
pearl and abalone. The sides were
too narrow to use oars, aud the wall
SO low that every wave that came
rolling in through the tunnel lifted
the boat ~unpleasantly near h roof,
showing that at very high tide, when
the wind was fresh, the attempt to
enter the cave might be accompan-
led with some danger. By standing

up and pushing the boat by hand, us
ing the sides and roof, the passage
was easily made for about one hun
dred and fifty feet, the boat suddenly
coming out around a point some dis
lance from the main entrance. Fol
unknown centuries the waves have
been working at this cave, gradually
eating out, with the result given. Al
night, when the waves roll in, the
spectacle here is a grand one. The
seas passing through the long tun-
mel burst into the larger cave, sweep
ing up against the sides and bathing
them in a rich phosphorescent light
that falls in cleaning rivulets down
the black walls, producing a weird
and spectral effect. Not far from
here are several smaller caves below
b water, which emit strange noises
as the ave are forced in, while one
sends n apparently from the very
rock itself, a mass of spray, appear
ing like a geyser.
The most imposing cave Of all in
this region is found upon the island of
Santa Cruz, off Santa Barbara, about
forty or fifty feet at an estimate, no
measurements having been made, and
from it one can look directly into a
series of chambers for an estimated
depth of an eighth Of a mile, nearly
all of which can be traversed in a
small boat.
1t is to be regretted thai it is SO iso-
lated and beyond the reach of the
travelling public no regular passenger
boat running to the island, rs in the
case of Santa Catalina.

There is an ancient saying that the
sins of the father are visited upon the
children; of course, in the way OF
natural law only. Science lends its
support to this declaration and pre-
sents many sad facts in confederation
of it. Thus DR.. Paul GARNER of Paris,
who has been making a special study
of the children of habitual drunkards,
comes to this conclusions: "There is a
flaw in the very nature of these
young wretches that the psychologist
sees clearly and notes with app rehen
sion-the absence of affectionate
emotion >, and when they do not be-
come lunatics, he says, they show
"insensibility and pitilessness." Here
is a temperance lesson of startling

The very simplicity OF some new
method often makes one feel a sense
of stupidity at not having been the
fortunate originator of the improve
ment.
Here is a suggestion that may be
new to some housekeepers, and sew
ing societies which make kitchen
aprons for sale, will do we'll to follow
it.
Make your kitchen aprons with a
ruff1e on the bottom. This will stand
put a little fuller than your dress
skirt, and will catch whatever you
may drop or spill, thus protecting the
dress skirt. The front hem of a dress
is often soiled because the apron does
not quite cover it; but this ruffle will
remedy the matter SO effectualIy that
you will wonder you d id not think o
it before.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN COLORADO.


In trying TO determine the effect of
equal suffrage, would it not be we'll to
consider a few of the objections most
frequently urged against it, and de-
termine whether or not these objec-
tons have been sustained by the facts
of the case?
Take, for instance, as objection No.
1. "Men would lose their respect for
women. A woman running for office
would be liable to assaults upon her
character, and a campaign would
necessitate her coming into contact
with disagreeable and degrading con-
ditions." My own observation and
experience do not in the least sustain
this objection. The men with whom
we came in contact treated us in pre-
cisely the same name which pre-
walls when men and women meet in
society, in church, or elsewhere.
There were the names of thirty three
women candidates on the ballot at
our last election, but Notwithstanding
the fact that this has been the most
exciting campaign in the history of
our state, not one word derogatory to
the dignity of any n of these women
appeared, so far as I know, in any
newspaper in the state.
Objection No. 2. "Woman would
lose her love for domestic avocations,
her children would be neglected and
home would be no longer attractive
to parents or children" Answer: A
true woman's home is to her the first
consideration on earth. Very little
else should be required of the mother
of young children than their proper
care and training. But the mother of
young children IS by no means b
only None of the women
elected in Colorado this year have
young children, and they will prob
ably enjoy as much of the society of
their families as is usual in the aver
age home where the avocations of
the different members separate them
through the day.
Objection No. 3. women of m
moral character would be particular
ly active in politics, and m who
are now elf-respecting would. be con-
by politics, and become as
corrupt as the gang element among
the men is now known to be-" Ans:
The women of the demi monde in
Denver declined to register, but were
compelled to do SO, also to vote, by
the ssgang." Their action shows that
L left to themselves they would take
part in the election. The most
cultured, most intelligent women in
the state, are the ones most deeply
sand most active in poll

The women, realizing their igno-
-ance of political subjects, went to
at once to inform themselves,
and in their endeavor to grasp the
subject, aroused new interest in the
minds of their men friends, and 1 am
positive that there is a better under

desirable reforms among the men of

BOILED RICE.-To know the value
of a staple article, one must have
ived where it is produced, and OBJ
served its preparation under a great
variety of conditions. AS used in the
South, the rice is washed and thrown
into sailed water, for whose quantity
and temperature there is no uniform
standard. 1t is thought that the Q
suit is the same, whether the water is
hot or cold; but the quantity is usual
ly abundant, and the grain must be
stirred from the bottom when it be-
gins to boil, otherwise it will stick.
AS soon as the water is in active
ebullition, che grains are too lively to
stick. just al soon as the rice is ten
der, in fact, when it is a trif1e under
done, the water is poured off and the
saucepan is placed on the back of the
range to dry out until every grain is
distinct.
