He thought Of it still more when. aft

Il should think that question might

The two positions are much alike il

no society in the fashionable sense of

MAY WEATHER

1t is common but mistaken conclu-
sion that the month now closing has
been especially remarkable for rainy or
cloudy weather. May is normally a
cool month in Southern California. AS
a rule the real summer season here
begins but little If any before the
astronomical summer, the sOlstice this
year occurring June %. But the late
ness in the summer start is equalzed
by the lingering of warm weather in
early autumn. September is a warm
month in this section, more discom-
forting, perhaps, than July or August.
Not until the middle of October is there
any assurance of the end of warm
weather, and summer raiment is not
apt to be cast aside entirely until a
still later period.
For proof that there is nothing ex-
traordinary i'm the recent rains, in the
closing days of May, it is only neces-
sary to glance at the rainfall record.
in 1901, for instance, we had 1.5O inches
Of rain i'm May. In 1900 the figure was
1,3l; in 1898 it was It's; in 1892 it was
2O6, During the last few years, prior
to 1905, the May rainfall was exception
ally scant.
The weather in Southern California
is not governed by arbitrary llmita-
tions, as is supposed by many new
comers. There is no definite dividing
line between what is commonly called
the rainy season and the dry season.
Summer rains I'm Los Angeles are by no
means rare, and the sight of heavy
storms in the nearby mountains is
quite common in the summer months.
But there is one weather rule that
can be relied upon for accuracy. That
is the rule of general average extend
ing over a period Of several years. A
glance at the rain chart covering the
period OF the last twenty-five years
shows remarkable variations in rain
fall but there is no mistake in the
equilibrium of the average.

PAPER HANpkERcHIEFs

"The paper handkerchief, unlike the
paper collar, is here to stay" said a
physician. TT has good reason for
remaining, and that is what the paper
collar never had.
"The paper handkerchief comes to us
from Japan, where for centuries it has
been i'm use. 1t is soft and thick and
strong, and it looks like silk. 1t costs a
cent-less than the cost of laundering
linen handkerchief.
The linen handkerchief. physicians
agree, is the most dangerous article in
the human wardrobe. 1t swarms with
billions of germs OF consumption and
grip and pneumonia. Hence, instead
of being laundered it should be de-
stroyed. But 1t can't be destroyed, II is
too expensive.
The paper handkerchief is destroyed.
1t is thrown into the fire.
"1'he rarity of consumption in Japan
is attributed with some show of JUS
tice to the exclusive use of paper
handkerchiefs by the Japanese"

MILLIoNAIREs OF LONG AGO

While It is not very tangible conso-
lation to those of us who belong to the
less favored class commercially, there Is
at least a sort of historic comfort in
knowing that the phenomenon of NAM
moth fortunes is not a new thing. A
magazine writer goes back to ancient
Rome when there were no railroads or
trusts or corporations, and gives some
figures on the individual fortunes of
that day which might look attractive
even to some of our modern plutocrats.

who formed with Caesar and Pompey
the first triumvirate, had a landed es-
tate of more than $8,000000: the En-
peror Tiberias left a fortune of $11S,OOO,-
900, which the depraved Caligula got rid
of in less than year. A dozen others
had possessions that ran into the mil
lions.
1t is true that these Romans did not
make these fortunes in what we
would call regular commercial opera
tions. But they got the money, and
they held on to it, which is about all
that can safely be said of possessions
that run into seven figures in any age
or country.
And speaking of campaign contribu-
tions and so forth, Julius Caesar once
presented the Consul PauluS with $780,
900 merely as a token of esteem and
coupled with the hope that Paulus
would do the right thing in a certain
political matter that was pending The
argument was effective with Paplus,
and neither he nor Caesar suffered any
in popularity.-Om World-Herald.
