IT DOES NOT Pay TO WORRY.


A close observer cannot fail 10 notice the
look of care upon the faces of many OF the
women he meets. Though their years may
be few. they look old. and traces of mental
distress cannot be concealed by a gayety
of manner. one woman purses up her
lips. another screws her eyes into unnat-
uralness. while a third will wrinkle up
her forehead and eyebrows until she looks
absolutely ugly. TIE trick is an uncon-
scious one. but it is none the less a trick.
and bad one. 7 mere is no reason why
a woman should look forbidding and bad
tempered just because she is annoyed
about something. Deep-seated trouble mas
a way of writing itself upon the face
whether we will or not. Sickness. 100, has
its own handwriting. and will not be con-
cealed by art. But the frown caused by
superficial troubles should not be enter
tanned by the face for an instant. We
should strive 10 look as pleasant as posi-
bic for the sake Of others; corresponding
cheerfulness of temperament will inevita-
bly, result and always to the sweetness Of
our nature.
We can not afford to go about with
gloomy faces. To depress others is not
for Us: our work is to cheer. to raise up,
to comfort. bur we shall never do this UNI
lass we cultivate pleasant demeanor and
the cheerful temper inseparable from ii.
This brings us TO that question of worry.
We we put it more strongly than to say
that is is a duty to put care, worry, ret
fulness behind one? The habit must be
learned or we shall not grow straight
in the strength of our spirit and live our
life as the light" as Swinburne so well
puts il. III is difficult to do that" says
some one. We all know that it is very
hard. but women are not afraid OF diff
culties. The more difficult the right thing
is 10 do the greater reason for doing ii.
All We need is to make the first effort
strength will be born which will be in
creased at each subsequent attempt. and
we shall conquer in the end. Salvation for
women lies in this-not 10 be overcome by
troubles, but 10 overcome them.

evidently considering that he carried the
Alameda delegation in his vest pocket,
could act as treacherously toward them
as he desired with impunity, and that,
finding his strength waning, he desired
to throw down Waymire ana take up
Davis, for the purpose of patching his
fences in another quarter.
Many people of this county would not
be surprised if the action of Perkins, as
should cost him half of the delegation
from Alameda. North's popularity may
be jud ged from the fact that had he wanted
to have been the Senatorial candidate from
the Twenty-seventh District he could have
given Senator Stratton a lively tussle for
the nomination. He only withdrew be-
cause he thought at that time when can
didates were being talked of that he could
not spare the time from his growing San
Francisco law practice TO attend to Sena-
torial duties, or indeed legislative duties
of any kind. He was only persuaded to
succeed hims in the Assem bly, when he
became convinced by his many friends
that man with his knowledge of his dis
trict could do better at the coming session
of the Legislature than stranger. To
turn down a man OF such marked ability
and popularity was certainly far from a
wise act, and many of his supporters are
not slow TO declare that Perkins has more
than destroyed any claim he may have on

lar proposes to introduce bill to amend
the law, or, if necessary, TO repeal it.
There are many districts in MADEIRA and
Fresno counties that are under the opera
ton of the act, but the lands in and I'M
mediately contiguous to Fresno city are
independent of the act. The laxity with
which the bonds are issued and the pur-
poses for which they are used, the arbi-
trary manner in which lands but little or
not at all susceptible to the least beneht
are taken into the district and assessed
and made to bear the burden OF taxation
without receiving any benefit theretrom,
have long been mplained OF by the
farmer. The voting is done as by stock
holders in a joint stock corporation. The
balloting on the issuance OF bonds should
be left to those who absolutely have an in
terest in the property to be assessed.
Here is the place where women should
be allowed to vote who are owners OF
property. They should be allowed to have
voice in such matters" said the SEN
ator.
He added that he proposed TO Introduce
an estray law that will be of interest to
stock-owners throughout the State. u
propose to repeal everything that exists
on the subject, because the laws are so
jun bled that even a lawyer would find
them difficult to understand or to recon-
cile, and it will be difficult to amend
them. The easiest way to do it will be to
repeal them and make new ones

patronage of the State Library, and six
years of that under Republican admins
tration. The law has been interpreted to
mean that removals cannot be made un-
less the Trustees assent to a change The
Republicans now propose to take charge
of this State institution. The term of
office of the Board of Trustees now serving
will expire in April, 1898; hence Trustees
to succeed the incumbents may be elected
By the present Legislature.
The law authorizes the Senate and As
sembly in joint convention to elect the
Trustees. The Democrats have managed
with exceeding cleverness TO control the
appointment of Librarian and assistants,
and are sure to introduce some adroit
plan designed to perpetuate themselves in
power. The Republicans have gained
some knowledge by observation, and will
see TO it that only men of their own party
will be chosen to manage the affairs of the
institution. The Democrats insisted in
putting the library into politics. and hav-
ing placed it there cannot object to Re-
pubicans following the precedent.
There is some county-dlvision talk on
the quiet, and delegations of interested
divisionis.s may come in later on. An
effort may be made to annex slice of
Fresno County south of the river TO Kings
County. The main cause in this direction
is said to be the high taxes in Fresno
County. A proposition to carve a new
county out of the territory of Tulare may
be pressed.
Members of the Legislature are inclined
to go ahead as rapidly as consistent with
the work in hand so as to get all the i'm
portant bills of the session in the hands of
the Governor ten days before adjourn
ment. The members will then know be-
fore leaving Sacramento whether or not the
bills become laws. During the session of
the Legislature bill in the hands of the
Governor for ten days becomes a law I'M
less he vetoes it within that time. Should
he exercise the veto power the Legisla-
ture, being in session, would have the
opportunity of passing the measure over
the executives disapproval.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP.
Socialists and PopuIlsts VIII Be
Pleased With This Innovation
In Government

In Government.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, Jan. 6.-That for
which Socialists in their way and Popu-
lists in their way have been striving for
years to accomplish will be, likely to be
effected through the instrumentality of
the Republican party, which has always
been the first to inaugurate reforms, no
the banner county of Repubiicanism in
this State the county which saved the
State to Mckinley, demands the fullest
and most unrestricted municipal owner
ship OF those great public utilities, gas
and electric lights.
The city of Alameda already owns her
lighting plant, and has saved many thou
sands of dollars annually to the taxpayers
on the cost oi lighting streets and public
buildings. Recently, desiring to give the
city the advantage OF unrestricted owner
ship and control of those public utilities,
an attempt was made to sell light to the
citizens, but an injunction was ordered on
the application of persons interested in
the sale of gas and electricity.
In order 10 remedy any shortcomings in
the law and to allow cities and towns to
own their own water works and lighting
plants and to sell their products to the
public Senator Beard of Alameda has in
preparation bill which, if enacted into a
law, will remove all legal obstacles. There
is no doubt that the bill will be bitterly
opposed by private corporations supply
ing gas and electricity to the citizens, in

Notwithstanding the Proposed
Economy, Expenses Of Legisla-
ture VIII Eat Up the Taxes.
SACRAMENTO. CAL, Jan. 6.-To-day
the general fund of the treasury of the
State of California contains more than
three million dollars. The general fund
is the barrel which members OF the Legis-.
lature are authorized to tap with appro-
priation bills. Yesterday San Francisco,
through Treasurer Widber, paid into the
State Treasury $4,000 The sum of
5000, 900 was at once apportioned to the
general fund. The school fund secured
$500 600 and the rest was apportioned to
various other funds.
II has been suggested that the members
of the Legislature from the interior cities
and rural districts should constantly bear
in mind that this sum of 81, 200 coo has
been wrung by the tax-gatherer from the
toiiers and home-owners in San Francisco
who have saved and punched to get to-
gether the money to pay their taxes. In
many instances families have had to sur
render objects of comfort desired in order
to ontribute to the support of the State
government. The fruits of their industry
are represented in this sum of 81, 200, 600,
which Treasurer Widber paid over yester-
day. 1t is therefore suggested that the
utmost care should be paid to all appro-
priated measures, so that the money
taken by law from the industrial classes
should not be squandered or given out n
salaries to maintain class of gllt-edged
loafers.
In many places talk is cheap, but in the
Legislature talk costs something. While
the orator is soaring into lofty realms of
eloquence In the cause of retrenchment
and reform, the taxpayers are paying 1or
| the light, fuel and attendance of the whole
Legislature. Talk prolongs the session
and ultimately costs more than small
army of attaches.
| One hundred and three bills have been
| introduced in the Assembly. Appropria-
| tIons of every kind and description are
| included. While the Assem- oily is talking
economy preparations are in progress for
great assault on the treasury. Never

AMENDING ROAD LAWS.
A Movement for Better Highways
and Better Methods of Re-
pairinp Them.

SACRAMENTO, CAL. Jan. 6.-Alameda
County wants better highways. She does
not. however. desire to monopolize all the
good things and is willing that the whole
State should share them with her. Sena-
tor Beard of that county will at an carry
date introduce bill to make change IN
the road laws, so as to allow the road
m aster to be elected by the people and,to
allow road districts to issue bonds for the
purpose of obtaining funds with which to
construct substantial and permanent
roads. Many if not all the country road
districts are too poor to do anything in
the way of permanent Improvements, and
the cost of repairing the unscientitlc road
ways they now have would build high
WAYS of solid cement and concrete in
twenty years.
People have been awakened to the fact
by the researches of civil engineers that
substantial and permanent roads are much
cheaper to build and keep in repair than
the so-called cheap dirt and gravel roads,
which in the winter are no better than no
roads at all.
The difficulty has always been that the
districts were too poor to build decent
thoroughfares, but If they are allowed to
issue bonds to do first-class work with the
best material, the saving in horsefesh,
wagon repairs. time in transporting prod
uce from the farm to the shipping point
and in road repairs, will be sufficient to
pay off the principal and interest within
the span of generation and at the end OF
that period the road will be as good as
new.
In Europe there have been exhumed old
Roman roads OF concrete as solid to-day as
they were when first laid down thousand
| years ago.
Another feature of the Beard bill viii
allow work to be done by contract in
stead of by day labor. Under the pres
emit system day labor is done by farmers
who have no practical or scientific
knowledge of BODYBUILDING and who are
not properly equipped in the line o.
wagons and other tools. The result is
that under such drawbacks but half q
days work is done for the cost of one
| Under the contract system the work will
be done by persons regularly in the bust
ness and will be done in the best and mos
workmanlike manner.
Senator Beard proposes also to intro
| duce a law allowing unincorporated towns
and villages of 500 population and over t.
provide for laying down sidewalks by TIT
same legal methods as are employed By
incorporated cities.
