Building, Center Street, Anselmi TRANSIENT ADVERTISING: The Climate and Temperature of California. The climate subdivisions of California may conveniently be considered under the following heads, transition zones of greater extent intervening between the areas here defined: 1. The coast climates, with cool summers and warm winters, the ground rarely freezing even superficially, except in the most northerly portion; westerly winds predominate. Subdivided into: A. Region near and north of Cape Mondego, with from 30 to 80 inches of rainfall annually, occasional summer showers and thunderstorms. Transition to the Oregon climate. Mean winter temperature of Eureka, 47° F., mean summer temperature, 58.2° F. B. Region of San Francisco bay, southward to Santa Cruz, with from 25 to 16 inches of rainfall, and heavy summer winds and fogs, practically no summer showers. Average winter temperature at San Francisco, 51° F., summer, 56° F. OLD-FASHIONED SIGNS. Emblems of the Colonial Times—Old Taverns—Tobaccoists' Wooden Figures. [Philadelphia Times.] Signs and emblems in all countries are curious study, and one who has traveled much can always recall curiosities in this line, found more especially in old country towns and out of the way places. Advertising is now so general and run to such an extent that few of the old fashioned signs remain in the large cities, except the tobaccoists' figures, the three bails of my uncle," the barbers' poles, and occasionally a postle and mortar at a druggist's, and a gilt hammer or some implement of trade. The large beer signs—king Gambrinus and others—are modern conceits. I am inclined to think this divinity is a sort of modification of Bacchus, a nineteenth century creation for presiding over malt and hops instead of the juice of the grape, and as is fit, more warmly clothed than his youthful originator. In the small towns at the south many of the inns and taverns have the old signs of the colonial times, such as "The White Swan," "The Golden Lamb," and other equally inapplicable emblems on battered boards in washed out colors. Not very long ago a sign painter was an important person and regarded as no mean artist, being hospitalized as he traveled through the country with his materials of trade. Many impecunious portrait-painters decorated signboards with heads of Washington, Franklin, and distinguished heroes. Much ingenuity was spent on emblematic signs, figureheads, and weathercocks almost equal to that now expended in painting rocks and covering walls and fences with puffs of trade and medicinal cure-alls. It is a wonder shopkeepers and tradesmen have not adopted armorial bearings. "Labor est Noblis." Each might have on his escutcheon some emblem or device signifying his trade or occupation. England was famous for her signs, some of which, the Boar's Head, the Star and Garter, have historical fame. In Nuremburg and old continental cities it is very interesting to decipher the weather-beaten signs and emblems still hanging in the narrow, crowded streets and alleys, and in our own country their history is quite well worth tracing. Many of the old Pennsylvania towns were noticeable for their sign boards in the days of turnpike roads, toll bridges, and lumbering stage coaches, and later the long wagon trains of western travelers. To these a "Jolling Sun" painted in lavish colors, a "Hen and Chickens," or the head of the "father of his country" were joyfully greeted as notices of refreshment for weary men and beasts. TIME.

Mean winter temperature of Eureka, 47° F., mean summer temperature, 58° F. B. Region of San Francisco bay, southward to Santa Cruz, with from 25 to 16 inches of rainfall, and heavy summer winds and fogs, practically no summer showers. Average winter temperature at San Francisco, 51° F., summer, 56° F. C. Southern coast region, from Monterey to San Diego, 12 to 8 inches of rainfall; fewer fogs than in San Francisco region; irrigation ordinarily needed for field crops. Mean winter temperature: Santa Barbara, 54° F.; San Diego, 54° F. Summer: Santa Barbara, 68° F.; San Diego, 69° F. Extreme temperatures: Santa Barbara, 35 and 98 between 1870 and 1880. Mean humidity, 69.5%; variation from 64° to 74°. 2. Climate of the great valley of California, with high summer temperature and intensely dry atmosphere; no summer fogs. Subdivided into: A. Climate of Sacramento valley, with 20 to 40 inches rainfall; little irrigation. Mean winter temperature of Sacramento, 47.9° F.; summer, 71.2° F. B. Climate of the San Joaquin valley, with 16 to 4 inches rainfall. Irrigation needed for safety of all field crops and more or less for all others. Winter temperature at Visalia, 45.4° F.; summer, 80.8° F. C. Climate of the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, up to 2,000 feet elevation. Rainfall greater than at corresponding points in the valley, increasing at the rate of about one inch for every 150 feet. Summer temperature about the same as in the valley. 3. Mountain climates of the Sierra Nevada and Northern California (Siskiyou and Shasta region). Summer and winter well defined, snow lying during several months; rainfall from 20 at the south to 100 inches at the north. Region of fir and pine forests and pasturage. 4. Semi-tropical region of South California: Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. Rainfall 8 to 10 inches; irrigation universal; frosts rare, permitting the culture of semi-tropical fruits in the open air, despite of an occasional cutting back in severe seasons. 5. Arid plateau climate of the Mojave and Colorado deserts. Rainfall from 8 to 3 inches and less, irregular; some seasons almost none, so that annual vegetation lies dormant; to southward, bordering the region of summer rains of Arizona and New Mexico. Good Results in Every Case. D. A.

[Atlanta Constitution] I note with surprise the heavy yields of corn made on Georgia lands under the gossypium phospho tests last season.

Trial Bottles free at Wm. M. Higgins' drug store. Great Britain keeps a wholesale account of the amount of money spent by her people for drink, and the statistics have recently been published. The expenditure in 1885 was about six hundred and sixteen million dollars, or fifteen millions less than in 1884. The returns for a number of years indicate a general increase in the consumption of liquor rather greater than the increase of population. It is estimated that the average expenditure for liquor per family in 1885 was $102.50, reckoning five persons to a family, $20.50 per head. The whole cost of liquor in the United Kingdom exceeds the entire expenditure for bread, butter and cheese. A Positive Fact The National Horse Liniment will remove all enlargements quicker than anything you have ever used. Try it once and you will never use anything else. W. M. Higgins agent for Anaheim and vicinity. Rabbits' eyes, natural in shape and color, but sightless, have been made to take the place of those of a little child in Chicago by surgeons in the eye and ear department of the county hospital. The child was suffering from malignant ophthalmia, and one of its eye balls was regarded as being in danger of bursting when the operation was determined upon. At first it was thought at least partial sight could be secured to the child, but, though the transplanted eyes are normal in every other respect, they are sightless.

Bathing in Lightning [New York M.I.] It is hard to conceive a more risky thing, for example, than some of the electric baths, where the visitor, being shut up in a pen, is entirely at the mercy of an attendant, who may turn on enough electricity to send him to death before he is aware of it. The more well-known establishments of the kind are of course, the best; they have run the gauntlet and won the confidence of the public. But even these should be visited with caution, and no one should enter upon a course of them without some advice from competent persons. Washington Medallion Heads. Mr. W. S. Baker, in his book, furnishes not less than 651 descriptions of medals, which commemorate the high respect in which the memory of the father of his country is held. On coins alone the head of Washington is presented forty-four times. On the occasion of the centennial thirty-three medals were produced, but the larger portion of them, with the exception of the one struck by the state of California, are quite insignificant as to merit. Silk-Spinning Spiders. [Demarest's Monthly] The spiders which produce silk live mostly in the hottest countries. Their webs are of extraordinary dimensions. An English merchant exhibited a specimen thread 20,000 feet long, and had been spun by twenty two spiders in less than two hours, and which was five times as fine as the thread of the silk worm.

Working with Knives, Spoons and a Spittoon—Laboring Patiently for Months—Hope Deferred—One at a Time—Outside. [Newton (Mass.) Graphic.] Hon. John C. Iark contributes the following sketch. Mr. Iark wrote it twenty years ago, and the occasion which led him to do so is thus stated. Col. Harris Cooper, of Roxbury, now Boston, was an officer in one of the regiments of volunteers raised in Massachusetts early during the rebellion. He was taken prisoner and confined in Libby prison, in Richmond, which prison had been a tobacco factory. He escaped, and having obtained a furlougna returned to a short visit to his father's house. While there an opportunity was given him, before he returned to duty, to meet his friends and, as he was highly esteemed and loved by a large circle of them, the house was filled on the evening selected for the assemblage. I had the good fortune to be present. He premised by saying that all escaped men were under a solemn mutual promise to divulge nothing which might implicate anyone who had added them, and therefore much which would be interesting must be suppressed. But he could say that in September seven determined men began, keeping all a secret from all of the other 1,200 prisoners who were there confined until the last night. These seven succeeded in getting into a pitch dark cellar, with cobblestone floor, infested with enormous rats. With great care and trouble they selected the spot on which to commence work and the line of direction. Then, with nothing to work with but knives and spoons, and a spittoon in which to bring out the detached earth, they worked, each a few moments in rotation, for the hole they were making was only twenty-two inches in diameter, and of course almost sunscoring. Thus they worked for months, when suddenly the prisoners were removed one story higher. Of course they supposed that the hole, partially made with so much labor, was discovered, and must be abandoned. After some weeks one suggested that they should take out the bricks with which the fireplace in this room was walled up; they having no fire and then taking up the hearth bricks lower them caves by means of a knotted rope. This they accomplished, and to their great joy found their UNE TIGRESSE. [B. L. R. Dane.] In the great fervent heart of noon she lies, Her languid limbs at supple, splendid sack, In the wan grass, and subtle memories Maks wide the circles of her amber eyes; Of how she sprung and slew, and expressive Drank bright, sweet blood, her fierce thirst to appease, And gat from stifling jungle's fervencies The tawny gleam and splenlor of the dyes In her deep hair. Her curled red lips are wet, And all her great white body passing fair; Ten thousand sons have risen and have set Between the tigre s and the woman, yet— Doubtless my soul, thou shall not escape her not; Man's blood she drinks, and thee she will not spare. A Lonely Man at the Great Show. [New Orteans Co., New York Sun.] Among the saddest looking men in New Orleans is one who wears a blonde beard and an air of rebellious dejection as he goes scooping with interminable rattle and roar over the track of his own roller coaster. The enterprise at this writing is not a popular success. The track pursues its devious way on a circular series of stilts set in a marshy bit of ground near one of the entrances to the exposition. It is precisely similar to the coasters at Coney Island, but it is regarded here by visitors as something coarse, improper and uninteresting. Although huge placards inform the public that two rides can be enjoyed for the small sum of 5 cents, it would appear that the solitary man with the blonde beard is doomed to go tearing around on the track with never a soul for company for the rest of his stay. Atty visitors from the north pass the familiar structure without a glance; loudly dressed men and women from the upper inland cities look at it uninterestedly, and southern observers see nothing in its din and u roar to attract. At two-minute intervals during the day the solemn man steps upon the car and pushes her off. He has traveled the route so much that the steed scents and sudden swerves have no effect whatever on his equilibrium; and he goes banging, bouncing, and rattling along with unrugged mien. If he happens to be paring his nails or reading a newspaper he goes right on with the occupation while the car is careening wildly about. He never smiles, but all day long through weather that is dama or damp, as the case may be, he goes on his lonely way. KING'S EVIL Was the name formerly given to Scroffila because of a superstition that it could be cured by a king's touch. The world wiser now, and knows that. SCROFULA can only be cured by a thorough purification of the blood. If this is neglected the disease perpetuates its taint throughout generation after generation. Among it earlier symptomatic developments are Eczema, Cutaneous Eruptions, Tumors, Bolls, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Physical Collapse, etc. If allowed to continue Rheumatism, Scrofulous Catarrh, Kidney and Liver Diseases Tubercular Consumption, and various other dangerous or fatal maladies are produced by it. Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is the only powerful and always reliable blood-purifying medicine. It is so effectual an alterative that it eradicates from the system Hereditary Scrofula, and the kindred poisons of contagious diseases and mercury. At the same time it enriches and vitalizes the blood, restoring healthful action to the vital organs and rejuvenating the entire system. This great Regenerative Medicine Is composed of the genuine Honduras Sarsaparilla, with Yellow Dock, Stillgia, the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and other ingredients of great potency, carefully and scientifically compounded. Its formula is generally known to the medical profession, and the best physicians constantly prescribe AYER'S SARSAPARILLA as an Absolute Cure For all diseases caused by the vitiation of the blood. It is concentrated to the highest practicable degree, far beyond any other preparation for which like effects are claimed, and is therefore the cheapest, as well as the best blood purifying medicine, in the world. Ayer's Sarsaparilla PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. [Analytical Chemists.] Sold by all Drugists; price $1; six bottles for $5. knives and spoons, and a spittoon in which to bring out the detached earth, they worked, each a few moments in rotation, for the hole they were making was only twenty two inches in diameter, and of course almost succinct. Thus they worked for months, when suddenly the prisoners were removed one story higher. Of course they supposed that the nose, partially made with so much labor, was discovered, and must be abandoned. After some weeks one suggested that they should take out the bricks with which the fireplace in this room was walled up, they having no fire, and then taking up the hearth bricks lower them caves by means of a knotted rope. This they accomplished and to their great joy found their uncompiled work undisturbed. They renewed their labors. The trend of their excavation led them beneath a yard, and they could hear the sentry's footfall as he passed them directly over the toter's head. At length at the distance of forty feet they came to the surface, and found themselves beneath an old tobacco shed which had been used as a storehouse for empty boxes. All now being ready, and those fully prepared who had all the time knowledge of the secret, others were informed, and the process of escape was commenced. Of course only one could pass at a time and but slowly, or it could not be done on hands and knees, but at full length, snake-like, gaining advance but a few inches at a time and dragging one's knapsack after him fastened to his feet. The next one to go could only know that his predecessor was entirely through by feel the cold air rushes up through the office, each as he emerged waited at the external aperture until his successor emerged, so that there might always be two in the shed; for a sentinel tramped back and forth in the street, just outside of the shed gateway, which stood open. Two of the party placed themselves at this gateway, one on inside of each door post and when one could see that the entry was far enough off he would signal the other to steal out. As many of the "rebs" wore Yankee uniforms, disguises were unnecessary. As they passed out they dispersed separately or in prearranged parties of two or three. One hundred and nine passed out in this way, not 100 as erroneously printed. The last one, a German, as he stood in the shed, waiting for the sentry's back to be turned, it being now nearly daybreak, was taken all aback by hearing him call, "Corporal of the guard!" He came. "Corporal, there's been a stream of men going by in this street all night. What does it mean?" "Do you cross your beat?" "No." "Then it is none of your business. What did you disturb me for?" When the pace was again still the German gilded out, and when far enough from the building not to appear to be coming from it turned toward the sentinel, and walking by him whistling "Dixie," stopped to turn off a street gas light, as though that were his avocation, and sauntered "round the corner." What Certain Gestures Mean. [Eugene Mouton] To put one's thumb to one's nose while the other fingers are vertically extended and agitated, is a gesture of mockery among nearly all civilized people. Why? I think it is because the principal effect of this gesture is to render the nose temporarily snubbed—which is done by the pressure of the thumb, while the other fingers are pointed at the person ridiculed. "Snubnose—snubnose"—that is the interpretation of this finger-telegram, which is equivalent to saying: Beer and Wine. [National Review] Beer suits the sluggish laborer or the energetic navy when his work is done, and his system, like that of a Scandinavian Viking or Seythan warrior in his hours of repose, craves first exhilaration and then stupid thoughtless contentment. Wine suits less active and more passionate races, to whom excitement is an unmixed pleasure brand, those who crave for stronger excitement to stimulate less susceptible nerves. But physical stimulants of our fathers and grandfathers, as the moral excitements of remiter times, are far too slight for our generation. Champagne has succeeded port and sherry as the favorite wine of those who can afford it, being the lightest of all and time was, not so long when medial men were accused of seeing mendling champagne with somewhat careless facility to those whose noses worn out by unhealthy suit of pleasure by unnatural hours and unwholesome excitement, might have been actually though more gradually restored by a change which to most of them at least was possible by life in the country rather than in London. By the fresh air of the early morning instead of that of midnight in over heated gas lithed rooms and a poisoned atmosphere. Patrick and Scotch Hall. [Charles "Underwood"] Patrick is not aptly a great artist. She has a wonderful head. She possesses a rare accomplishment. She can talk French, English and Italian like a native. That is not what I admire to. She can speak Scottish. Ternia you don't see the advantage of being able to sing a Scottish ballad—and Ternia can sing one better than anybody I ever heard. There is simply enormous advantage. She might find herself anywhere in the world—in Thibet, or Tartary, or India, or the Cannibal islands. There is a fair chance that she might not find if caribers" or "Semira mide" intelligible in these lands. She might not appeal to the audience with so much effect. But if she sings a Scotch ballad, it is betting five to one that in Mongolia, or Tartary, or anywhere else—a man will jump out of the orchestra seats and dance a highlanding in the center aisle and raise the rafters with applause. He'll be a Scotchman. You can't go anywhere where you won't find one. Navajo Naturalists. [New Orleans Times-Democrat] Dr. Washington Matthews has been shown that the American Indians, and especially the Navas os, are in many respects superior in their knowledge of natural history to the white men who have not made the subject a special study. They are keen observers not only of the animals and plants which contribute to their sustenance and other needs, but also of those which are unused, rare and inconspicuous. The Navas os have a name for every mammal, bird and reptile in their country, and for nearly every plant, and all the larger insects and their knowledge of the several species is usually minute. They have made many divisions into groups which are identical with th What Certain Gestures Mean. To put one's thumb to one's nose while the other fingers are vertically extended and agitated, is a gesture of mockery among nearly all civilized people. Why? I think it is because the principal effect of this gesture is to render the nose temporarily snubbed—which is done by the pressure of the thumb, while the other fingers are pointed at the person ridiculed, "Snubnose—snubnose"—that is the interpretation of this finger-telegram, which is equivalent to saying "You are a fool." It is also interesting to note—as a vestige of antique beliefs that have long ago disappeared in France—the gesture, which consists in retaining the two middle fingers with the thumb, and holding up the index and little fingers. The children who use the gesture for pure mischief or derision doubtless never suspect that they are repeating an ancient sign of adjuration to drive away evil spirits, or to conjure the evil eye. This gesture is still very popular in Italy, especially at Naples, where many folks believe themselves hopelessly lost if they had not about them a little amulet of horn, or a little carved hand with two fingers open, to preserve them from the jettatura. The Wax Plant. [San Francisco Chronicle.] The wax plant of Carolina and Pennsylvania is now grown on an industrial scale in Algeria. The fruit incised in a bag of coarse cloth, is plunged into boiling water, on the surface of which the ill uid wax oats after a few seconds and is skimmed off and dried. This wax, of the same chemical composition as beeswax, makes an excellent substitute for it for laundry and similar purposes. The Melancholic Humorist. [Cincinnati News.] The humorist is naturally of a sociable or convivial turn. He remains of sociable and convivial turn until he has ruined his stomach by his conviviality. Perch a melancholic humorist and you will find a man who is or has been intemperate. Doomed. All competing Liniments are giving away to the pressure of the National Horse Limiment. Horsesmen and Stockraisers are getting excited over it. Be on the safe side and get a bottle. This Liniment is the only remedy known that will cure Lockjaw. W.M.Higgins agent for Anaheim and vicinity. Dr. Washington Matthews has been shown that the American Indians, and especially the Sava os, are in many respects superior in their knowledge of natural history to the white men who have not made the subject a special study. They are keen observers not only of the animals and plants which contribute to their sustenance and other needs, but also of those which are unused, rare and inconspicuous. The Nava os have a name for every mammal, bird and reptile in their country, and for nearly every plant, and all the larger insects, and their knowledge of the several species is usually minute. They have made many divisions into groups which are identical with those recognised by the Caucasian naturalists; and this sometimes occurs when it seems incredible that the Indians could have discovered the characters on which the white naturalist bases his classification. Chemistry of Tea Making. [New York Times.] After tea has been steeped in boiling water for three minutes over five-sixths of the valuable constituents are extracted. At the end of ten minutes the leaves are almost entirely exhausted. I prolonged infusion gives no additional strength to the liquid, but it does cause the loss by volatilization, of the flavoring principles. Hard waters are to be preferred to soft waters in the teapot as the hard waters dissolve less of the tannin out of the leaves. The bearing of these laboratory results on the art of making a good cup of tea is obvious. Innocent Childhood. [New York Times.] Fond mother—What a dear, sweet little fellow hobby is! He asked me last night if he were to die and go to Heaven if I thought that God would let him play with the stars. Father curing his boots upside down and shaking it violently—Now, who put that toothbrush and powder in there? Fond mother (resignedly)—Oh, I suppose it was a hobby. An Electrical Target. An electrical target, on which a hand indicates the exact point where the bullet strikes it, is one of the latest inventions. The Chief Forester of Prussia says that in Europe the trees to which an age of 700 or 800 years is assigned are "more hollows surrounded by bark, vegetating only as ruins." No tree keeps health in Central Europe for so long a time. The pine reaches the greatest age, the maximum, judging by rings, being 570 years. A linden tree at Wurtemburg, said to be over 700 years, is scarceily alive, and is held up by supports. STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE Bank of Anaheim. At the opening of Business July 1st, 1896.
