Old Home Week i'm St. Johnsbury.

The Legislature, in setting aside week
to be celebrated as "Old Home Week" in
Vermont, took the first step in the direc-
tion of a festival week which is likely to
be the leading feature Of next summer in
the Green Mountain state. In New
Hampshire, where the idea originated,
and in Maine, which followed the Granite
States example, Old Home week has been
celebrated in such a magnificent way, and
has proven to be so popular that it was
only natural for Vermont to get into
line and inaugurate like 'estival. Yer
monters are every where and if even com.
paratively small part of them visit the
state next August it will be an occasion
long to beremembered. St. Johnsbury has
contributed its share to these many sons
and daughters OF Vermont who have
wandered hevond the Dor ers OF their
naive sta'e and would it not be wise to
ex end to II csc former res dents an invit-
alton to spend lew DAYS at the "Old
Home" next August. The CALIFORNIAN
hopes to announce in the near future
that plans have been arranged tor max
ing this occasion the event of the year in
St. Johnsbury.

Chinese Monuments in rlexico.

The report that American officers have

showing that the Chinese discovered
America 1900 years ago and erected
temples in Mexico has arouS ID the great
est interest among the scientific men of
Monterey aud throughout the country.
TIE Chinese temples alluded to are in
the state OF Sonora, on the Pacific coast.
The ruin OF one OF the temples was dis
covered near the town of Ures, in that
state, about two years ago. One of the
large stone tablets found in the ruins
was covered with carved Chinese char
acters, which were partly deciphered by
learned Chinaman who visited the
ruins at the request of the Mexican Gov
eminent. This Chnaman made the as.
sertion at the time that the ruins were
those OF temple which had been erected
many centuries ago by Chinese, but his
statement was not received with Gre
dence.
1t has long been claimed that the. In
