NATURE KIND TO CALIFORNIA.
Climates of All Kinds Produced While
You Wait.

The Californian claims the greatest
tiful, in the Yosemite; the finest trout
streams, the deepest and highest
lakes the most picturesque parks, and
last, and by no means least, the finest
climate, of all kinds and variety.
If you say the climate is too "sun.
shiny" that there is too much pleas
ant weather, he will quote the fog rec,
ords for 80 years. If you sigh for
sleighing, says Outing, he has the rec
ord of Quincy, Plumas county, at his
tongues end, where the snow has been
40 feet on the level.
Then the desert palm forests, the
Muir woods of giant redwoods, the ma
rine forests of kelp, the lake of tar
100000 years old, where you can fish
for saber tooth tigers with pick, and
get them, too; the glaciers, the mis-
sions-America's old ruins-the eli.
mates, suited to Ubanga or Eskimo
climates of all kinds continually on
hand and produced while you wait.
Where you can battle in the ocean
pick strawberries and oranges, and &c
seighing and snowballing all in one
day? In California, of course. Where
are the biggest fruits, the greatest
stretches of flowers, the most stu
pendous gold producing mines? In
California, beyond question. And
there is 50 much of this true that one
may well surrender at once

The examination ended, two sisters
came forward and took Queen Vic
toria into the anteroom. When the

The motion was put and carried.
Queen Victoria was brought in once
more. The pastor informed her of
the unanimous vote of the church, and
instructed her to be ready for bap-
tism the following Sunday night. Then
the meeting adjourned, the members
singing as they dispersed:
