THE H0RsELEss VEHICLE.

Reports OF experiments made with
horseless vehicles in France have been so
favorable to the invention as TO lead to
the conclusion that such machines are
practicable for common use wherever the
roads and highways are sufficiently
smooth and firm for their wheels. 1t is
therefore matter of some surprise to
learn that in England no good results
have been obtained from them, aud that
competent experts declare that useful
machine OF the kind has not yet been in
vented.
The English experiments were made
under the direction of a technical maga-
zine, the Engineer, which offered large
prizes, one of them amounting to thou
sand guineas, for competitive test Of

HUcKINS AT THE HELM.

Our boat by boisterous hreezss borne
hooked on life's ocean wave;
The sails were gone rent and torn
And no one near 10 save.
The Captain and The Crew on deck
4 o led manfully and swors
To patch the riffs and save the wreck
Before IL washed ashore.
The rigging creaKed with doieful sound,
Tossed on the brIny deep,
1t seemed that We must run aground,
For Huckins was asleep.
Our Sunday clothes were drenched with spray.
Our hopes were beaten fiat;
We couldn't do a thing but pray,
Nor make much doing that.
We strove to face the awful doom
That stared us into grief
OF going to wat'ry toElb
Or straDding on a reef.
But suddenly the ship arose
AS II our fears to whelm,
And there. in trusty pilot pose.
stood Buckins at the helm.
He ierked the rudder galley west
And made the mainmast groan;
He sent he sailors down to rest
And ran the ship a.one.
The sturdy Captain wept for Joy
Of briny tears lot;
BE said Huck was a "bully boy"
And Johnny on the spot"
He also mentioned that the boat
Was safe for any realm,
Where anything on earth can float
Win Huckins at the helm.
SO happiness is ours to-day
Amidst the toll and strife;
The old boat bounds along the way
AS natural life.
The crew is still alive, on deck,
Each fellow feeling fine
And what was once a total wreck
The swiftest of the line.
Though angry tempests may appear,
That twist the sturdy elm,
We haven't one darned thing to fear
Win Huckins al the helm.

OBSERVATIONS OF A PEssIMlsE.
Cleveland Leader.

They say that crying is necessary to the de.
velopment of baby's lungs. The parents of
some modern politicians must have been
sorely tried.
Actions may speak louder than words, but
the person who neglects an opportunity to
say good thing for himself usually gets lost
in the dust cloud at the rear of the procession
There is just one kind of people that ca MT
be softened by fattery-dead people.
One peculiarly about most people is that
the difficulty they have in remem berfnr
names and faces increases with their pros,
perity.
There may be men who never lose THAR
tempers, but living with them must be yerv
monotonous.

The New York Times is authority for
this peculiar story. A new species of
plant lice made its appearance among the
gardens along the Hudson this spring and
destroyed most of the flowers. Spraying
with Paris green. hellebore and other
pojsons was tried in vain nothing would
kill the lice or cheek their voracity. Sud-
denly when hope was lost and people had
given up their gardens in despair there
came strange. new bird, never seen be-
fore. which preyed upon the pests and ex-
terminated them. The lice 1t seems have
now disappeared. but it is to be hoped the
bird remains. There ought to be some
thing in the neighborhood to verify the
tale.

SUPPLY COMMITTEE.

The supply committee of the council

adopted the following recommenda ito rs
for submission to the council Monday:
In the matter of the contract for pub

recommend that the city clerk be in
structed to advertise for proposals for
said printing for the term of one year
Your committee also recommend that
as the city has no contract for drugs at
the present time that the city clerk be
instructed to advertise for proposals fog
drugs for the term of one year.
Recommend that the city clerk be in
structed to advertise for proposals to
furnish the city of Los Angeles with
lumber for one year, as the present con-
tract expires on January 22d.
Recommend that the bond of Harper
Reynolds company to furnish 1000 zee |
of fire hose be approved.
Your committee would respectfully
recommend that the heads of each de-
partmept make careful inventory of ali
property coming into their possession
upon assuming control of their depart
ments and to report the same.to the sup
ply committee, reserving a copy there
of in their own possession, ana aOdin 8
thereto such purchases-as may be made
for additional supplies throughout their
term of Office, the desire being to have
a complete record of all the city prop
erty which each department has in trust
in order that it may be properly turned
over to their successors in office, and We
are actuated in making this request
from the fact that much of the city
property formerly used in the offices
seems to have disappeared, and no
doubt this condition exists at each
change of administra tion.
