from drunkenness that seems to prevail
here. 1 can truly say that in all the six
months that have been here have not
seen a single case OF intoxlcation, al
though 1 have been around the city more
or less every day. OF course l may not
have seen the very worst part Of the
city, but not in a single case have
heard the drunken yells here all night
such as we often hear In our eastern
cities The papers there are fond of
speaking Of the wild west" In the light
Of my experience 1 should say the wild
east and the order-loving west"
There are many beautiful homes in
Los Angeles, and the architects here
have In many cases risen into the very
poetry of architecture. The courthouse,
designed, as learn, by home talent. is
magnificent; in fact, the finest court
house, externally considered, in the
United States, so far as / have seen
them. Several of the business blocks.
with their towers, bay windows and di-
verslfied fronts, are fine, but the one
story buildings by their side destroyed
the unity of street magnlficence. In ten
years from now Los Angeles will be one
of the very most beautiful cities In the
world, for the gorgeous palm trees and
flowers and other semi-tropical vegeta-
ton render 1t a hopeless task for New
York or London or Paris to equal what
can be done here. Its diversity of hill,
valley and mountain lend a charm and
satisfy every taste. An ocean view
would be fine of course, but Los Angeles
is quite near enough to the sea, as many
cannot stand the strong air Of chlorine
and sodium.
There is one thing in which feel like
criticising Los Angeles, and that Is the
great number of low. one-story, squatty-
looking homes, although they have done
their best in many cases to make them
look attractive. Loftiness gives dignity
OF appearance and affords a great deal
more of house room for the same price
than a low house. as there is far less
roofing and foundation required. There
are hundreds Of houses In this city
which IL made two feet higher would
give fine upstairs rooms for sleeping in,
and upstairs bedchambers are better
than those down stairs, being more pri-
vate when curtains are raised and being
farther from the dampness of the
ground, for even California has certain
amount of dampness in the rainy sea-
son. The large number of two-story and
two-and-a-half story homes here show
that the architects know just how to do
things when they wish to, or when their
patrons will let them.
I would like to speak Of the delicacy
stores here in which so many of the
necessary foods, sauces, puddings, pies
etc., are cooked in such attractive home
style, all of which are boon to light
housekeepers. In this respect the east
ern cities are far behind and should has

A WOMAN'S FLOWER GARDEN
How the First Bed Should Be Made.
Some Handy Tools

While thinking of the children's happi-
ness it has occurred to me that perhaps
to some of their mothers or elder sis
ters the bliss of gardening may be an
unknown possibility. I do not mean the
possession of a garden in which to walk
about and admire what your gardeners s
taste and skill have produced, but the
ownership of however small a bit of
land from which by care and watchful-
seen the growth and enjoyed the blos-
soming of flowers that you love.
There is no way Of putting into words
the sort of joy this gives, or of describ-
ing the healthful delight it insures' 10
body and mind. A really ridiculous COM
placence takes possession of you, and
you almost count yourself the author of
these wonders of growth and expansion
into perfect bloom.
And there is really sense in which
one has a right to be proud, for the price
of perfect flowers is eternal vigilance, j"
Intelligent watchfulness and not un-
commonly a tired body.
Some of the things easiest of cultivation
and most delightful in possession can
not we'll be planted now. Hardy roses
are far stronger and more prolific If
planted in the early autumn, and almost
all the lilies and irises come under the
same law. The sweet peas ought to be
in the ground as soon as frost relents
enough to till it, but there are so many
charming things which can neither be
sown nor planted yet, that there Is wide
field Of choice.
IN you are making a claim in an al
ready established garden and this is
your first attempt, a narrow bit of bor-
DER is wise choice; or If you are only
cutting into small lawn to have a new
be6 made, keep in mind that it is best
to make modest start, and never have
bed cut which 10 too wide for you to
reach to its center.
Mark out square. From the center
take q circle from which to form a
mounduke bed elevated In the middle.

A Much-Kissed Testament

Mr.. Richardson, consulting chemist to
the Bradford corporation, has just COM
pleted an analysis of a testament used
in Ripon court house for\ sixty years,
and said to have been kissed by 40, 900
people. The analysis was with a view of
establishing the danger or otherwise of
kissing the book. There were no germs
of typhoid, tuberculosis, or diphtheria,
The only germ Of dubious characte was
the "pus cocci," usually found on
wounded or sore skin. Although these
germs were not necessarily harmful,
there were conditions in which they
might produce complications. He would
not kiss any surface on which they were
spread. Westminster Gazette.

ABLE TO PAY DEBTS.
The Treasury Improving Under Re-
publican Rule.

The national deficit" for February,
the last month of free trade rule, was
S4,395,0 The surplus for March was
$9,004,665, and the April surplus was
$5,750,000 1t is thus seen that the first
two months of the new republican rule
have resulted in a total surplus of Sl4,-
754, Cos over the expenditures for the two
months. During March and April, 1896,
the GLOVER" administration had de
felt" of S9,145,059. The figures are in
teresting, for they make a change of
nearly S24,o00,000 in favor of the pres
ent government. OF course republican
government is not entitled to all the
credit of the great increase in the gov
ernments revenues, and the always
truthful paper will not SO claim. The
government is still weighed down with
the labor and MISUNDERSTANDING Will
son-Gorman tariff, but foreign goods
are being rushed in, hoping TO be able to
escape the increased duties of the new
tariff bill, and are thus aiding in in
creasing the monthly receipts. But the
internal revenue receipts are also in
creasing rapidly. The collectors real
ize that the internal revenue must now
be collected on an honest basis, which
will speedily restore the larger volume
of monthly internal revenue receipts of
the Harrison administration. The in
ternal revenue receipts were largely de-
creased during 1.-THE clover" admins
tration, and there is only one way to
account for that decrcase-failure to
collect the revenues and turn them into
the national treasury. The Mckinley
administration has so far had a month
ly surplus of over $1,000. 900 per month,
against free trade deficit" of S4,50O,-
GOO for the same months last wear. and
against an average monthly deficit" of
nearly $i,000,000 during the "cloycr"
administration. These facts should be-
gin to strengthen the confidence and
energy of the people, for it is probable
that there will not be deficit" during
any month of the republican govern
ment. We arc on debt-paying and la
Dor and business creating basis again,
and if the senate will pass the new
tariff law and adjourn general pros
perity will promptly obtain from COM
plete republican rule. The republicans
VIII cheerfully accept responsibility
for the rule of republican principles.
and the democratic and populist sena-
tors should see the good policy of maxi
ing republicanism completely response

THE pINGLEY BILL AS AMENDED.
Changes That Were Expected by the
Trainers.

Although the Dingley bill as reported
from the senate finance committee is
hardly recognizable by the trainers OF
the original measure, it cannot be rea-
sonably contended that the changes
in the schedules were unexpected or
that they come in the nature of sur
prise to the country.
Indeed there is scarcely a modifica-
ton in the bill that was not antici-
pated by those who know the drift OF
tariff sentiment in the senate. The
house merely followed its usual custom
of responding promptly and adequately
to the popular will, while the senate
has adhered to it's time-honored pre-
negative of putting on the brakes.
That the senate would deny itself the
pleasure of curbing the zeal of the pro-
tectionlsts in the house was not eX-
pccted for moment. Even though the
administration had pronounced ma
jority in the senate, the latter body
would have felt constrained to do the
usual pairing and trimming. to the end
THAT more conservative ideas might
prevail in the schedules.
The threat of "bitter tariff war" is
premature and ill-advised. If sober
and patriotic counsel prevails the house
will discern the necessity of acceding
to the most of the changes as grace
fully as possible, to the end that the
restoration of business confidence and
industrial activity may not be delayed
because of controversies over details.
The peculiar political comnlexion
makes certain concessions advisable
and necessary. 1t must be borne in
mind that the report represents the
mature Judgment of such stanch pro-
tectionists as Senator'S Allison and
Aldrich. who stand very close to the
administration and who understand
fully the needs of the treasury and the
just claims of the Industrial interests
affected.
The platform upon which Mr.. Nc
Kinley was elected pledged the admin
istra;ion to no particular schedules.
1t is impossible that the ways and
means committee of the house should
contain all the wisdom and all the
on this question. 1t is adj
mitted that the measure as amended
will yield S7O,OOO,ooO additional reye-
nue. annually. and it is admitted that
it is conscrvatively protective. More
than this the house cannot ask at
this time.
The tariff law of 1897 will be the
agreed upon between the COM
mittees of the two houses after the de-
bate is over. 1t is important, there
fore, that the debate be as brief as pos
sible. so that the committees may come
tc an agreement speedily and ami
ca bly.-Chicago Times-Herald.
