With fortitude and calmness
that BELTS them the people of
California have borne up bravely
under one of the most trying
ordeals thru which it is possible
for human beings to pass.
The people of Washington,
and indeed of the whole United
States, have responded literally
and promptly with money and
supplies for the benefit of the
stricken Californians. There is
no longer any suffering for want
of food or clothing. The work
of clearing the streets has begun.
Rebuilding will also commence
Immediately.
By measurements taken 1t is
shown that it is twenty-six miles
around the burned district. In
this district many houses and
some business houses escaped
serious damage.
The breaking out of an cpl
demic of sickness has happily
been averted. AT least there
is ground for the hope that there
will be no outbreak.
The greatest loss of life was
in cheap lodging houses and in
the chinese quarters The cheap
class of buildings collapsed first
and many of them took fire.
Property owners have had an
opportunity to inspect their
holdings and in a measure to
ascertain what damage has been

buildings were found to be al
most intact. In every instance
it seemed that the earthquake
had not damaged them. The
steel frames were in perfect

Even when the fire burned thru
them only the woodwork was
damaged. The Paramount hotel

the Union trust building on

has only lost the interior wood
work and as soon as men can put
in the lumber it will be ready
for occupancy. The st. Francis
hotel is in the same category
and the work of renovating the
interior will soon be commenced.
Aninspection of the Call build
ing at Third and Market streets
discloses the fact that several OF
the floors of the building we're
in good condition and could,
after slight repairs, be used as
formerly.

ARROWHEAD ORNAMENTS.

Men and boys who have lived in the country have
almost all picked Up an Indian arrowhead now and
again in tranping over pioughed fields. Many bcys
have large collections Of these relics Of the past
which they have faithfully gathered during sum
vacations and Saturday holidays. But when
the pure joy Of the collection for its own sake IS
abated it is found that the arrowheads are little
adaptable 10 any excepting that Of filing I'D

Heary Punishments Inflicted for

Profanity among sailors seems 70 be about as old
as the art or navigation Sailors swore' so Justify
in the Middle Ages says Thomas c. Ford, in the
Proceedings of the United States Naval Institute,
that the laws of Aencon prescribed the punishment
OF cutting out the tongue OF him who offended for
the second time. The Norman code directed the
head Of a blasphemous sailor TO be shaved and
earlier laws required him TO the gantlet or
have his ears cut off.

offenders. Jal tells us that AIoncenigo punished
with hogging every man guilty of blasphemy. and
