In new country like California, where
the first great want is intelligence, mans
fitness to serve in the legislative capacity
should be partly judged by the amount of
his devotion to the cause of education. If
he has never done anything to increase the
popular facilities for acquiring knowledge, or
if he manifests no interest in the subject and
has no clear ideas about it, for the sake of
the commonwealth don't make a law-quack
Of him. We have had enough of legislators
who are Indifferent to, or at least neglectful
of, the primary interest ofpublic instruction.
1t is high time that the public schools re-
ceived as much attention as is paid to private
s'claims;" time we devoted more attention to
the prere,ltion of crime by efforts to lessen the
amount of general ignorance The State
owes every child an education, but has so
far practically ignored the obligation. For
the last five years she has paid but nine
dollars for the tuition of each child old en-
ough to attend school, while during the same
period the sum of 81 ,685 has been spent on
every criminal confined at San Quentin T.
The whole amount contributed for the sup
port ofschools last year was but So, ,404 95;
to be divided amongst more than 10000
children who are old enough to be instruct
ed, though onlya little more than one-fourth
were instructed. Yet in the face of these
facts, which were forcibly set forth by the
State Superintendent of Public Instruction,
the last Legislature did nothing for educa-
ton, except to defeat the only bill that was
calculated for its promotion. With juvenile
thieves running in the streets of our cities,
and thousands of little vagabonds growing
up in ignorance to graduate as useless if not
as vicious members of society, the last Leg
islature of the boastful, wealthy State of
California wasted days of precious time, and
thousands of dollars, in the discussion of
political resolutions; but devoted not one
day, nor one dollar, to the cause of public
instruction The admirable report of the
State Superintendent was treated with less
respect than one of Belongs ''cogent, ur-
gent and magnificent" speeches; and even
the meagre hints of the Governor were
heard, not needed


1t is time to change all this. 1t is time to
demand of every candidate for the Legisla-
ture that he pledge himself to aid in making
our public school system what it should be.
The people want Intervention in favor Of
intelligence against ignorance. Make the
school fund sufficient for the education Of
those who are not privately educated, and
then see to it that every child is sent to
school. Here's doctrine of intervention on
which all parties can agree. Let US put the
main question to every aspirant for legisla-
tive honors who addresses US from the stump.
Let us know whether he has thought at all
upon the subject which ought to occupy
legislators thoughts largely, aud if he has
not-vote him down.

What funny creatures these girls are,
The pretty Gashing girls,
Who fly around so merrIy,


Shaking their glossy curls.
They change with every wind that blows,
Changeful as the weather
Borne here and there by every breeze,
Lightly as a feather.
II they have any mind at ALL


They never make it known.
But wear mask of ignorance,


EacEPT-when there alone.
Then in seclusion deep and still,


They form some heinous plan,
And poor victim always proves


To be some foolish man.
They're pleased and angry all by turns,
AS they happen to feel,
Sometimes their hearts are warm and light
Again encased in sieel.
They smile WIENER they feel enclined,
And frown whener they please,
Finding vast amount of fun


In raising great breeze.
They're in their natural element


When they Can make fuss.
And breathe the air they like the best
When living in a mnss
They talk and laugh about themselves,
And about each other,
While anywhere, in any place,


They always are bother.
Vi love scrapes they have score on score,
Filtration is their life;
They never seem 10 care or think,


When shall be wife
They trust their beauty far TOO much,
Nor think of growing old,
Old maids they're sure they'll never be,
And thus they talk aud scold,
How tender, loving, kind thew are,


When they are in the mood;
The next day cold and insoent,


To the winds our hopes are slrewed.
They fatler us, caress and smile


One day and then the next
They curl their lips and turn away,


Pretending to be vexed.
Careless how many hearts they break,
They bring us to their feet;
We look up, and smile OF scorn


Our loving glances meet.
II seems impossible for them


To love more than day,
soon they grow tired of the restraint,
They only loved in play.

p@-Diarrhea is very common disease
in summer time. Cholera is nothing more
than exaggerated diarrhea. When q man
dies Of diarrhee, be has died Of cholera,
in reality. 1t may be well for traYellers'to
know that the first, tho most important,
and the most indispensable item in the ar
rest and cure Of looseness Of the bowels,
is absolute quietude, on a bed. Nature
herself always prompts this, by disnclining
us to locomotion. The next thing is to eat
nothing but Common rice parched like cof-
fee, and then boiled, and taken with little
salt and butter. Drink little or no liquid
of any kind. Bits Of ice may be eaten and
swallowed atwill. Every step in diarrb@s
every spoonful of liquid, only aggravates
the disease. If locomotion is compulsory,
the misfortune of the necessity may be les
sened by having stout piece of woolleD
flannel bound tightly around the abdomen,
so as to be doubled in front and kept well
in its place. In the practice of many
