The Celebration of Fast Day.
Editor CALIFORNIAN

While reading the bill sent out for the
"Fast Day Party" was r, minded Of DR..
Lamsons words upon the subject. "The
day has come to be observed only by the
fast ones as holiday for fast driving
and fast amusements." A New England
people should have respect for an old
custom and when as is now the case the
day appointed is Cod Friday, fast
amusements seem especially out OF place.
The day means so much to many people
and is entitled to respect, at least, from
all who know it's significance and nomi-
nally accept the sacrifice which it COM
memorates. r.

A Healthy Locality.

II tell YOU" said the st. Johnsbury
Center man as he sat in the CALIFORNIAN
office on Saturday, I'VE have healthy
locality up our way. Not great many
persons there die young, even if they are
all good, and have the figures to prove
my claim. Here they are:
"At the Center we have persons over
ninety years old; who will be ninety at
their next birthday; 10 who are over
eighty; 81 who are over seventy; 70
who are over sixty; and any amount OF
'em who, like myself, are robust and
promising at middle age"
Then he left, alter making us promise
to say something about these figures by
way of booming the Center.

Capt. GriswoId Heard From.


A letter to H. A. Stanley from Capt. E.
F. Griswold, who recently went to Ha-
vana, contains some things Of interest to
our readers, and we are allowed to make
extract therefrom.
The Captain reached Havana after a
four days sail. and Immediately found
himself in the clutches of sanitary pro.
vision which required vaccination and a
six days stay on the island before he
could feel free to roam at will beyond
that limit.
Yesterday March 29) several Of us
Americans left the city on a relief train
carrying 60 tons of meal and bran out
into the country for the reconcentrados.
At the first station out they took on a
car of soldiers. Before we got three
miles further the fourth car from the pas
senger jumped the rail. and finally landed
bottom side up, badly smashed. The
two next cars htsyte. the dump as wei
as the supply next to us. Alter five
hours all the cars save the first were back
on he rail"
