Advice for Boys and Girls.

This is the time Of year when
young boys and girls leave school
public, normal, academic, college and
university. / would give them all
this advice: Don't try so hard to
earn money, as try to live happily
within the means of your income.
Many parents make the mistake Of
trying to educate their children and
to qualify them to earn large salaries.
1t Is better to teach them to live
economically, AMI to teach to alb
stract from moderate income the
largest amount of comfort and hap
piness. This is not original. 1t is
stolen from the Quaker woman's SER
mon. who said. at is not what you
get, but what you save that makes
you rich" and from Plato, who said
"After man has attained to fortune,
he should rather study to curtail his
desires than to increase it," or words
to the same effect.-Alf Doten in
Genoa Courier.

he swoRE AT THE MULES.
And the Bishop Forthwith Disnissea
T. the Driver.

And the Bishop Forthwith Dismissed
the Driver.
A bishops coachman must not swear,
especially when he is on the box and
the bishop inside, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. There il certain place in
Spain called Corrales and it is in the
province and diocese of Zamora, and
the bishop of Zamora recently went in
his coach and four (but they were
nlutes) to hold a confirmation at Cor
rales. When the children of the diocese
were duly confirmed the mules, being
confirmed already in stubbornDess and
original Sin, refused to start and backed
the carriage. with the bishop inside it,
against the churchyard gate, thereby
making a breach in the sanctuary of
the churchyard wall. At this point the
coachman is reported to have uttered
one of those thunderous Spanish curses
in which the language of Spain is SO
infinitely superior to the language of
France, and which even q bishop must
feel has the dignity of power. Unfor-
tunately for himself the mayor Of Cor
rales, Sig. Tome, had just taken leave
oil the bishop and was standing by the
carriage when the word reached him.
lie sprang forward and fined the coach
man four pesetas on the spot for BIAS
phemy and proclamation, for in Spain
the mayor carries the court with him
wherever he goes. The bishop also got
out and dismissed the blasphemer on
the spot; then the mayor got on the
box and himself drove monsiegneur
back to his episcopal residence. The
confirmation has ever since been known
by title which may be freely trans
lated the blue blazes confirmation of
Gonzales. .'. ........

THE ISSUE OF FREE SILVER

What do the republicans mean
when they talk about ssoun cd mon
ey?' They mean gold. and nothing
but gold. How do they propose to
get what they want? BY retiring the
green bucks, which bear no interest,
and substituting for them a currency
founded on Understanding bonds.
What object has the republican
party in view in retiring the green
backs? They desire to reward the
plutocrats and bondholders for their
services in the last presidential cam
paign. BY issuing bonds bearing in
terest they give the spectators a
chance to make money at the ex-
pense Of the people.
The plain people of the United
States, who pay their taxes and work
for living, when they get chance
to do 80, are not geing to be satisfied
with Sound money" policy of the ad-
ministration. They do not believe in
tie issuing of Understanding bonds
in time of peace; they do not believe
IN striking out Of use one-half of the
hard money in this county; they do
not believe in destroying the value of
silver and in making all debts pay
able in gold.
On the other hand, the honest IN
dustrious and suffering people of this
country have with them all object les
son which teaches more eloquently
than words the truth that a monomet-
allie gold currency is curse to the
nation. They have Sc. their prop
erty so reduced in value that those
who were once well to do are now
poor, aLd those who WEI once COM
Portable are now in actual distress.
They insist tnat this government
shall cease to legislate in the interest
of money sharks and bondluolders
and shall turn its attention to the
betterment of the condition Of those
who are the bone and sinew of the
nation.
If the present administration de.
cline to do what the people demand,
it's lease Of life will be no longer than
the Time required to make a legal
change. There ID no hope that the
people will receive any consideration
from republicans; therefore demo
Gratis must organize for success in
1893 and sweeping national victory
on the silver issue in 1890.-Chicago

'"Talk about the drummer having

for our honeymoon, and on O train
about 100 miles from Tacoma I found
this country boy in the car sitting be-
side big, stout, coarse man. Bill, the
boy, had the other fellow shackled to
him. He recognized me, and began in
qrhring after the folks at his home.
After awhile he said: s<as
"I'm getting along all right. Folks
up here, where am, think so well of
me they made me sheriff. I'm just taxi

I've reformed, and you can tell the folks

when my wife went ahead into the

turned to me, asked IL I knew Bills
folks, and when I said I did, he rep1iGd:
Wall, tell them what you please, but
I'm the sheriff."

SUCH WAS THE SAN DIEGO OF 1874.
Then irrigation was an unknown
quantity, except as a few wells and
windmills furnished a very limited and
very unsatisfactory supply of water
to few orchard trees struggling for eX-
istence.
Some of the leading citizens of the
San Diego of today were then declar-
ing that there was no back country for
that city that was suited to agricultural
and horticultural pursuits, but that 1t
was strictly a grazing country, depend
ent on more favored sections for the
bread and vegetables and fruit con-
sumed by her people.
Gradually the people there began to
learn something, just as they do every
where. They soon reached point
where they declared that San Diego
county was suited to the production OF
fruits and vegetables without irrigation,
and that fruits and vegetables so grown
were superior in flavor to the
fruits and vegetables of countries
where they were grown by ir-
rigation. They then reached a
point where they declared that little
Irrigation was desirable. but that enough

The Woman's Press Club

The nine members of the Woman'S
Press club, who visited the Rand min
ing district last week, returned on Fri
day. They were the guests OF the Jo-
hannesburg Water and Milling company
and visited the mining camps at Rands-
burg and johannesburg, its lively little
competitor. The ladies' were agreeably
surprised at the development of the
country, the beauty of the scenery, the
extent of the mining interests in prog
ress at both places. They were royalty
entertained, and are enthusiastic in their
praises of the people who are pioneers
in the new district. A more extended
account of the trip will appear in The
Herald of next Sunday. The ladies' ac-
companying the party were: Mrs
Mary M. Bowman, Mrs. Clara s. Brown,
Miss Hattie ]. Elliott, Mrs. J. Torrery
Conner, Mrs. L. o. Torrey. Mrs. Susie
Sweet of Pomona, Mrs. S. A. Bowman
and Miss Margaret M. Fette.

losses and a stagnation of business. This
condition of affairs did exist to a great
extent and still the city and county
continued to grow. Fortunes had been
made suddenly and fortunes had been
lost suddenly, but the people Of the
county as whoie were neltner pank-
rupt nor discouraged. They had valua-
BILE permanent improvements that
would assist in producing wealth, and
the people proceeded at once to clear
away the wreckage, adjust prices and
business to the new order of things,
liouidate their Indebtedness and utilize
the water systems that had been built,
in order that they might patronize with
fares and freights the trans-continental
railroad which had its terminus on the
shores of their bay.
WATER DEVELOPMENTS
Realizing that water was king, they
not only went to work TO utilze tne
water already developed, but they also
laid the ropes for developing more
water.
Up to date only one other large water
enterprise has materialized. This is the
Escondido Irrigation district system,
including a storage reservoir with
capacity to hold at the present time
about 400 acre feet of water, which ca
pacity will be increased by raising the
Qafn as OcCdSlOil may iSquiAS ~ s~~~
II 500 acre feet.
A distributing system of cement
bitches and pipes is carrying this water
to all parts of the district, composed Oh
about 10000 acres of very choice land.
THE LEMON AND THE ORANGE.
Thus three storage reservoirs have
been constructed and the stored waters
are being used to develop the horticul-
tural products of the county. This water
is being used to good effect. The or
chards thus far planted under these sys-
TENS are as yet young and are only IN
partial bearing. The lemon takes the
lead for San Diego county is recognized
as the great lemon section of California
There are from 5000 to 1000 acres now
planted to this fruit. The lemon crop o.
1866 was 219 carloads, with an esti-
mate of about 450 carloads this year
Prices have been varying-sometimes

Eyanescent Oil

There should be no dallying on the
part of the city authorities with the
matter of confining the oil district to
it's present bounds. The supply is peter
ing and the demand for the fuel is to
be at once curtailed by its abandonment
by the Santa Fe Railroad company and
many other consumers. which are about
to return to the use of coal. If any
more oil territory is to be developed, it
should be outside of the city. The in
dutry Is an ephemeral one at best and

It threatens the permanent attractions

6omnambulisn Extraordinary.
There has been much excitement and
much discussion in FELTON,, Del, over
story Of the remarkable somnambulism
Of Miss Chella Connor, the 19-year-old
daughter Of A. b. Connor, tho station
agent at FELTON,.
On q recent night Miss Connor re-
tired, but fell asleep before she dis
robed. She had been in the room but a
short time when she walked out Of the
house and up the railroad track. None
Of the family saw her leave the house
and did not discover that she had gone
until some time after. They were great
ly alarmed and at once made search
for her. John Lynch, who knew the
girl we'll, said that he saw her walking
up the railroad track, but said nothing
to her. The friends Of the family at
once started in pursuit Of her, but were
compelled to return without her. Near
" all night they secured the country
with bicycles and carriages, but none
Of them thought to keep directly on the
railroad track. Miss Connor walked
straight up the track, and when she
awoke in the early morning she found
that she was near Cheswold, which is
II miles from where she started. She
at once took a train and went home
