TOPICS OF THE TIME. The State Tax Levy Will Be Altitudinous. Dencon Burton Pays a Visit to Buena Park – Whistling Don't Go in the Chino Opera House. From the San Francisco Call. It is reported that the State Board of Equalization will find it necessary to fix the State tax levy at or about 66 cents on each $100 in order to meet the current expenses of the State Government for the present fiscal year. This figure is so far in advance of the expectations of the people, and so much in excess of the rate to which each of the political parties pledged itself to confine the limit of State taxation, as to warrant an inquiry into the reason for the increase. This reason it is not necessary to go far to find. When the Legislature was in session only a few months ago the constant and increasing scandal of its entire career was its reckless and wasteful expenditure of the public funds. Early in the session the Call directed attention to this waste and to the means by which it was accomplished and throughout its entire course continued to oppose its extravagance. This opposition, however, availed but little and down to the very last days of the session the Legislature continued to employ useless clerks, to pay high salaries to needless employees and to equip expensive junketing expeditions over the State which were as costly as they were useless and unnecessary, in spite of the fact that the members of both of the political parties were expressly pledged to keep the State tax levy within the limit of 50 cents on each $100. The members of the Legislature, without respect to party or party pledge, threw this limit to the winds. The consequence is to be seen and to be borne by the people of the State in and by the rate of taxation which the Board of Equalization finds it necessary to affix. There is a useful though expensive lesson to the people of California to be found in this experience. So long as the Senate and Assembly districts continue to send to the Legislature obscure and unworthy men; so long as the two political parties are dominated by elements which find such legislators useful for the accomplishment of their sordid purposes; so long as the State treasury is deemed to contain the proper funds upon which to draw for the necessary means to reward political heckmen and heelers, just so long will the people of the State of California be punished by excessive tax levies, and by the wanton and willful breach of party pledges to keep the rate of taxation within reasonable bounds. RICH FIELDS AND PASTURES AT BUENA PARK. From Dr. Burton's Los Angeles Bulletin. Last Tuesday was the first time in three years the writer made a journey from the city down the valley past Dewey to Buena Park. The plaintiffs appropriated the water of the creek by filing upon it according to law about fifteen years ago. A little later they put in a submerged dam of clay below the Barham house and diverted about 300 inches on either side by means of pipes and ditches, watering some 2,000 acres which support about 200 families. In the fall of 1892 the clay dam was displaced by a good concrete one at an expense of about $3,500. The next year the Irvine ditch was started, but no water to speak of was diverted until 1894. In that year considerable loss was occasioned to the settlers by the shortage of water and an injunction was filed to restrain its diversion. Then the title of the San Joaquin ranch was transferred to a stock company with headquarters in West Virginia for the purpose of carrying the litigation into the United States courts. Judge Ross threw the case out of court on the ground that all the real parties in interest were citizens of this State and the transfer of the title to a stock company was fraudulent. Finally the issue was joined in the Superior Court of Orange county last week by the suit to restrain the Irvines from diverting the water and to quiet title to the 600 inches appropriated by the plaintiffs. AN ENTERPRIISING RESIDENT OF TUSTIN. Los Angeles Times. An enterprising resident of Tustin, down in Orange county, put up several hundred dozen canes of deciduous fruit in tin cans with wax and string last year and shipped the same to his former Eastern home to be sold among his acquaintances. As a result he has already ordered orders for over six thousand cans this year and orders are still coming in. He will ship by the carload this year. The plan of this enterprising Orange county fruit grower could be successfully worked by thousands of California ranchers. WHISTLING "DON'T GO" IN THE CHINO OPERAHOUSE. From the Champion. During the entertainment at the Opera-house this evening it is expected that good order will be maintained. It should not be necessary to say more than this, but after some of the experiences of the past, it is deemed wise to give due notice that any whistling in the Opera-house or any other undue noise will be considered a disturbance of the peace, and punished accordingly. TABLE ETIQUETTE IN GENERAL. A host should not stand while carving. Gloves are not to be worn at the table under any circumstance. No argumentative or in any way unpleasant topic should be broached at the table. There should be no difference between "company manners" and those in daily use. The napkin is not folded, but is simply crushed and laid beside the plate on rising. ODD HAPPENINGS IN REAL LIFE. A WESTERN PASSenger TRAIN HEEDS UP BY A SWARM OF HORNETS. Ottumwa, Ia., Aug. 19.—A swarm of hornet nets held up a passenger train on the Chicago Fort Madison and Des Moines Railroad, gave the trainmen and passengers a ball that will be remembered longer by far than if it had been against bandits. The train was running slowly up a state grade just outside the city, where the side is covered with trees. Suddenly Enner Cunningham noticed a black mass moving through the air ahead of the train. He known what was coming he would stop his engine and backed to the station. The small cloud soon developed into a swarm of hornets. The hornets noticed the slowly puffing engine and made for them. They attacked the engineer and fireman who were forced to stop the train. It was a sultry day, and all the cars were open. This gave the hornet opportunity to enter the cars and peeter passengers. It was an hour before the passengers and trainmen succeeded in driving away the hornets. A number of persons severely stung. The train stopped at farmhouse until the injuries could be attended to, and then proceeded to this city. ASTOUNDED BY MATHEMATICS. BROWNSVILLE, Ky., Aug. 20.—A color dealer approached Sam Ferguson, a color man of this county, and proposed buying yoke of oxen which Ferguson owned. Of all the steers was poor and thin and no dealer made him an offer of two cent pounds for the best one, or would take them both for one cent a pound. Ferguson accepted the latter proposition. When the ox were weighed, the best one tipped the best at 1,000 pounds, the other one at 800 pounds making 1,800 pounds, which at a certain pound amounted to $18. The better oxen two cents a pound would have amounted to $20. Thus Ferguson is out $2 and his horse ox in the transaction. Ferguson is a school teacher, and is astounded at the mysteries mathematics, and will begin anew a study of the subject. SAYS HE IS WOOED WITH HYPNOTISM. ATCHISON, Kan., Aug. 19.—A color man here believes that he has been conjured by a colored woman who wants him to marry her, and believes that it is no use to resist any longer. He says she throw guber-door on him, and he has since found it impossible to resist going to see her. He feels that next time he calls he will have to propose, and although he loves another girl, he have to marry her. GOOD FOR THE ROUND TRIP, DEAD OR ALive? MUNCIE, Aug. 17.—Three weeks ago James McGriff, aged 30 years, purchased a round trip ticket from Munoei to Boulder, Col.,the time asking if the return part would good to return on dead or alive. He went there to be treated for consumption and turned last evening in a coffin. FOR LITTLE FOLKS. Assembly districts continue to send to the Legislature obscure and unworthy men; so long as the two political parties are dominated by elements which find such legislators useful for the accomplishment of their sordid purposes; so long as the State treasury is deemed to contain the proper funds upon which to draw for the necessary means to reward political benchmen and hecklers, just so long will the people' of the State of California be punished by excessive tax levies, and by the wanton and wilful breach of party plodges to keep the rate of taxation within reasonable bounds. RICH FIELDS AND PASTURES AT BUENA PARK. From DE Burton's Los Angeles Bulletin. Last Tuesday was the first time in three years the writer made a journey from the city down the valley, past Downey to Buena Park. One who has seen that stretch of country daily, or even frequently, during this period would hardly be able to conceive the astonishment created in the mind of a person who had not done so for many months. If one goes back even ten years and compares the conditions of 1885 with those of to-day, the present will seem like the effects of magic. For a decade ago the Rancho Los Coyotes, from Norwalk to the western limits of Anabeheim, and from La Habra valley to the Rancho Los Alamitos and on over that rauch to the ocean at Anaheim Landing and Alamitos Bay, was all a sheep pasture where a few camps, a sheepherder, a pack of dogs and the flocks were the only signs of life. But to-day the whole valley as bounded above is cut into small farms of 10 to 100 acres each, with its cottages, orchard patches, groves of "blue gums," and broad alfalfa meadows, as far as the eye can see. The change from the old to the new looks like a transformation scene. The writer's destination on Tuesday was Buena Park, and here he found a long line of teams, two horse, four-horse and six-horse, dumping beets into the cars to be conveyed to Chino. It is quite evident that the farmers en Los Coyotes are sharing with those at Anaheim proper in the profits of best-growing. Buena Park is not a large place, but it seems to be a substantially prosperous place. It has one general store, managed by the Whitaker Bros., and it does a very considerable business. It is kept in a neat and orderly manner, the postoffice is an adjunct of it, and with the trade of all the newly settled country to depend on seems to be well placed. But the purpose of the editor's visit was to look ever the condensed milk plant of the Pacific Condensed Milk, Coffee and Canning Company, the makers of the Lily brands of sweetened and unsweetened cream and condensed coffee. About five years ago this factory was built, operated for a time and then closed for a couple of years. Last May the present operators gained control, put in a great deal of new machinery, and are now doing a very satisfactory business. They are young men of industry, means and capacity, and seem determined to achieve a great success in their undertaking. The milk comes from those rich alfalfa fields stretching for miles on all sides of the factory. The farmers cut the grass and feed it in a cured state to the cows. They are provided with cooling apparatus to keep the evening's milk over night, and each morning the two milkings are brought to the factory together. The total deliveries aggregate about 2,000 pounds a day. BROTHERLY LOVE AND CONCORD AT ORANGE. From the Santa Ana Blade. Brotherly love and concord have long since fled the journalistic fields of fair Orange town. But affairs seem to be nearing a focus, pretty rapidly. Each succeeding issue of the News and Post grows "richer." How long they (the editors) will stand each other's slack is questioned. The Orangeeditors are having lots of fun though. The News is published Thursdays. Each week it has something choice to say of the Post. Then on its publication day the Post reiterates some of the experiences of the past, it is deemed wise to give due notice that any whistling in the Opera-house or any other undue noise will be considered a disturbance of the peace, and punished accordingly. TABLE ETIQUETTE IN GENERAL. A host should not stand while carving. Gloves are not to be worn at the table under any circumstances. No argumentative or in any way unpleasant topic should be broached at the table. There should be no difference between "company manners" and those in daily use. The napkin is not folded, but is simply crushed and laid beside the plate on rising. Coffee may be served at any time during breakfast, but should come at the end of dinner. Do not overload the plate of a guest, or press upon any one that which they have once declined. Remember the maxim of Confucius: "Eat at your own table as you would eat at the table of the king." Never say or do or countenance in others saying or doing anything rude or impolite at the table. Never notice or comment upon any accident, but render unobtrusively any assistance which may be necessary and possible. The side of the spoon is to be placed to the mouth, except in the case of a man wearing a moustache, when the point of the spoon leads the way. Where wine is served at dinner, it may be declined without breach of courtsey, and should no more than any other article be pressed upon the guest. Teach the children to eat at the table with their elders, and to do it in a dignified manner. It is impossible to foretell what moment may require them to exemplify their home training. Letters, newspapers or books should never be brought to the table, though a very important message may be received and attended to, permission being asked of the hostess. It has been definitely decided by the Indian Bureau at Washington that no attention will be paid to the game laws of Wyoming where they come into conflict with the treaty of United States with the Banook and Shoshone Indians. The Attorney General, considering the matter, has informed the Secretary of the Interior and Commissioner of Indian Affairs that the rights of the Indians to hunt unoccupied lands, in his opinion, is unquestionable, and the State of Wyoming has no power to limit or abridge this right. No definite steps to enforce this determination has been decided upon further than that instructions to the United States District Attorney secured the release of Indians now in custody on writes of habeas corpus will probably be supplemented by an order to do the same thing in case any arrest is made in the future. The Bureau will discourage hunting by Indians as far as possible, and at present no passae will be issued permitting braces to leave the reservation. It is probable a small number of soldiers will be kept in the Jackson Hole country during the remainder of the hunting season, and if it be deemed advisable at any time to permit Indians to leave the reservation to hunt, the whites possibly will not be permitted to molest them. It is hoped, however, work on an irrigation ditch soon to be contracted for, will furnish occupation and money for the Indians, making hunting unnecessary for their maintenance during the wmter. No immediate trouble is anticipated, as the Indians are now on the reservation and likely to remain there for the present. The editor of "Notes For The Curious" recently read a wonderful (7) account of a bunch of roses kept in a New York harbarium, which still retain their original color, notwithstanding the fact that they were out from the parent stalk three years and one month before the signing our Declaration of Indemnity. FOR LITTLE FOLKS. BOYS ANTICIGARETTTE LEAGUE. Its Members Pledge Themselves Against Tobacco Until Twenty-one Years Old. Cigarette smoking seems to be a growing evil among boys of the United States. This has been recognized for some years, but it is only recently that any organized efforts have been made to put a stop to it. It is true that The Connecticut state legislature enacted a law in regard to it; but, like many other laws, it seems to be dead letter. On Thursday afternoon Mr. John S Camp addressed a special meeting of the High Street school branch of the Anticigarette league on "The Evils of Cigarette Habit." The High Street school is only one in the city where a branch of the league, which is really a national organization, has been established. The matter was first brought to Professor Wilbur F. Gordy's attention by Mr. Henry T. Sperry. The league had its origin in Troy, N.Y., but a number of branches have been established in Albany, New York and Boston. Professor Gordy said, "I was interested in it at once because it seemed to be such a practical thing for the boys." The high school branch was formed last spring and has been doing its work quietly and has been gradually growing in numbers until it now has about 150 members. It holds its meetings on the first Friday of each month during the school year, and the session which is usually brief, is held at the noon hour. Each boy signifies the following pledge and is entitled to wear the button: "We, we undersigned, pupils of the Second North school, do hereby pledge ourselves upon honor, first, to abstain from this date from smoking cigarettes or use of tobacco in any form until we shall reach the age of 21 years; second, to use all influence that we possess to induce all public school boys and others of our acquaintance to give up and abstain from smoking cigarettes until such boys shall be 21 years old; third, by giving this pledge we become members of the Anticigarette league." "The constitution sets forth the name in the first section; the objects already embodied in the pledge, in the second section; the usual officers in the third section; The constitution provides for a council'of ten members from the different grades of the school,and also lays downthe rule thatno meetings shallbe heldinschoolhours,andthattheprincipaloftheschoolshallbepresentatetheachmeeting." Professor Gordy states that in his opinionthe leagueis doinga gooddealofgood.Neverisnourgingonhispart BROTHERLY LOVE AND CONCORD AT ORANGE. From the Santa Ana Blade. Brotherly love and concord have long since fled the journalistic fields of fair Orange town. But affairs seem to be nearing a focus, pretty rapidly. Each succeeding issue of the News and Post grows "richer." How long they (the editors) will stand each other's slack is questioned. The Orangeseditors are having lots of fun though. The News is published Thurdays. Each week it has something choice to say of the Post. Then on its publication day the Post retaliates in kind and goes its contemporary one better. The News returns the compliments and so on, ad infinitum, till at this distance it is difficult to say who did "the high priced printing"—the one with the "coast" or the party who published the delinquent list of the S.A. V.I.Co. As a sample of the ammunition used in this wordy war the following extract is made: "As scandal muggers and cheats they are entitled to rank as A1. Their 'facts' are the growth of a diseased imagination and hearts corrupted by envy and hate." THE SANTA FE FLYER SKIPS AZUSA. James J. Ayers in the Pomotropic. A citizen of Azusa last week interviewed Mr. K.H. Wade, general manager of the Santa Fe rail road, and asked him why the "flyer" train passed through our town without making a stop. Mr. Wade replied that he would be very glad to stop the "flyer" at Azusa if we could assure him water for the engine. But his experience the past few months showed him that the water supply in the tank was very unreliable and that the engines had to go to Glendors, where the tank was always kept full. The Azusan was immeasurably astonished at this statement, and on his return home he made inquiry and found that it was even worse than Mr. Wade had stated. For days in succession the tank here is absolutely empty. As the Santa Fe officials are about to revise their time schedule for the Southern California branch of their road, Azusa will be skipped as much as possible on account of this shameful and unpardonable neglect of the managers of our local water system. There is but one remedy for this kind of outrageous treatment to which Azusa is subjected. If we incorporate we shall control the distribution of the water; otherwise we shall remain under the power of a water management which is so conducted as to do all it can to injure the community and to obstruct the progress of the town. THE SANTIAGO WATER CASE. From the Orange Post. The Superior Court of Orange county is now occupied in determining the right to the ownership of the water of the Santiago creek. The trial began Monday, August 12. The The editor of "Notes For the Curious" recently read a wonderful (?) account of a bunch of roses kept in a New York herbarium, which still retain their original color, notwithstanding the fact that they were out from the parent stalk three years and one month before the signing of our Declaration of Independence. The editor of the paper in which the notice appeared, he no doubt considering it the "eighth wonder of the world," asked if any reader could give information concerning a case in which roses or other flowers had retained their natural colors for so long a time. We would state that we have seen well preserved wreaths and garlands of lotus, red and yellow poppies, and other unclassified flowers which were found on Egyptian mummies known to have been dead over 6,000 years. The red poppies were but a shade lighter than those dried and pressed but a month or a year before, and in the case of the yellow variety there was no distinguishable difference between those from the ancient tombs and specimens which had been dried but a week. If the editor who refers to the colonial roses as wonders will visit the Egyptian museum at Cairo, he will find dried colored flowers of sufficient antiquity to excite his wonder.—St. Louis Republic. The New Tiar. The return of the tiara seems to denote that the style of hairdressing is again in the ascendant. This ought to be good news to all except the divinely tall woman, to whom the loss of an inch or two by a coiffure dressed low in the neck was immaterial. To the average woman the Madonna style of head dress was certainly a handicap. It suggested a revival of the archaic scarcey more in keeping with the ordinary British profile than the professed appreciation of Botticelli is with the ordinary British character.—Pall Mall Budget. Thoughtlessly Frank. "I suppose you will be out again tonight," remarked Sportington's wife severely. "I will," he replied with feeling, "unless I manage to hold better hands than I got last night."—Washington Star. "The constitution sets forth the name in the first section; the objects, already embodied in the pledge, in the second section; the usual officers in the third section. The constitution provides for a council of ten members from different grades of the school, and also lays down the rule that no meetings shall be held in school hours, and that the principal of the school shall be present at each meeting." Professor Gordy states that in his opinion the league is doing a good deal of good. There is no urging on his part or on the part of his teachers. The boys who become members do so of their own free will. The lowest grades are not taken in because the boys in these rooms are not considered old enough, as a rule, to understand fully the nature and obligations of the pledge. In Professor Gordy's opinion, the fact that the pledge of the league only requires a promise of abstinence from smoking until the member shall be 21 years old is a great point in its favor. Many, if they go without smoking until that time, will never smoke, while those who do acquire the habit after that time will do so at little or no danger to themselves.—Hartford Times. A Witty Reply. The crown prince of Germany, though only about 12 years old, has a very ready wit and a queer way of saying things. He sees the funny side of a situation at once. One day, while visiting Potsdam, the little prince was amusing himself by trying to make a donkey draw a cart. But the donkey was stubborn and would not "go." "Your donkey has a great deal of will power," called out the emperor, who had been watching the struggle between his little son and the stubborn beast. "Oh, no, papa," replied the little prince quickly, "it isn't his will power that troubles me. It is his won't power. He won't go."—Amusing Journal. He Felt Sick. A small up town boy, who accompanied his mother to church on a recent Sunday, grew pretty restless before the sermon was over. He finally crept up close to her and whispered, "Mamma, mamma, I feel sick." "Do you?" asked his mother rather anxiously. "Why, where or how do you feel sick?" "Well," replied the youngster, "I feel homesick."—New York Times. HAPPENINGS IN REAL LIFE ERN PASSENGER TRAIN HELD BY A SWARM OF HORNETS. WA, Ia., Aug. 19.—A swarm of horrors up a passenger train on the Chicago, Milton and Des Moines Railroad, and trainmen and passengers a battle be remembered longer by far than been against bandits. The train was running slowly up a steep hill outside the city, where the hill-covered with trees. Suddenly Engineer Ingham noticed a black mass moving the air ahead of the train. Had what was coming he would have his engine and backed to the next. The small cloud soon developed a warm of hornets. The hornets noticed only puffing engine and made for it. attacked the engineer and fireman, he forced to stop the train. A sultry day, and all the car windows are open. This gave the horrors an ability to enter the cars and pecker the drivers. It was an hour before the passenger train succeeded in driving the hornets. A number of persons merely stung. The train stopped at a time until the injuries could be attained, and then proceeded to this city. STOUNDED BY MATHEMATICS. ESVILLE, Ky., Aug. 20.—A cattle proclaimed Sam Ferguson, a colored county, and proposed buying a ten which Ferguson owned. One keeper was poor and thin and the demeal him an offer of two cents a rurthest one, or would take them one cent a pound. Ferguson accept latter proposition. When the oxen inghed, the best one tipped the beam pounds, the other one at 800 pounds, 4,800 pounds, which at a cent amounted to $18. The better oxen at a pound would have amounted to usus Ferguson is out $2 and his thin transaction. Ferguson is a school and is astounded at the mysteries ofotics, and will begin anew a study of object. HE IS WOOED WITH HYPNOTISM. ON, Kan., Aug. 19.—A colored believes that he has been conjured red woman who wants him to marry believes that it is no use to resist her. He says she throw guber-dust and he has since found it impossible going to see her. He feels that the calls he will have to propose, though he loves another girl, will carry her. THE ROUND TRIP, DEAD OR ALIVE. Aug. 17.—Three weeks ago James aged 30 years, purchased a round-farm from Munoe to Boulder, Col., at asking if the return part would be return on dead or alive. He went he treated for consumption and re-treat evening in a coffin. A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. SURROUNDED BY FOREST FIRES JAMES M'COMB TAKES REFUGE UNDER A WATERFALL AND SAVES HIS LIFE. UKIAH, August 24.—James McComb of Little River has just arrived in this city from the coast. He had an exceedingly narrow escape from death in the forest fires which are now raging in that section of the county. Shortly after his descent from the divide he entered a narrow canyon. When he started east the fire was on the northern side of the canyon, so he rode leisurely along. He finally reached an abrupt turn in the trail, when his view toward the east was unobstructed for at least half a mile. He then discovered that the fire had crossed the canyon on the east, and effectually blockaded egress in that direction. There remained then the alternative of returning or perishing him in a circle of flames. His horse at this time began also to realize the danger of the position and soon became unmanageable. Seeing the impossibility of escaping on horseback he left his horse and attempted to scale the lofty mountain wall to the south. This he found to be impossible, so he again took the trail and proceeded west, directly in the face of the flames, hoping apparently against hope, to discover some method of escape further down. McComb soon saw that it would be impossible to escape by going further west, so he plunged down into the bottom of the canyon, along which flowed a stream of water of considerable volume. Bathing his face in the cooling stream McComb determined to make a last attempt to escape up the mountain. As he was about to start he glanced up the canyon and discovered a small cascade, the stream having a descent of about twelve feet. He quickly sprang up the bank and made his way to the cascade. There he saw behind the curve of the water a depression in the rock sufficiently large to afford a place of safety from the flames. Into this he sprang. The walls were damp and cool, and McComb was satisfied that for the time being he was safe. In the meantime the fire had spread rapidly, and before long the brush and trees directly over the place of refuge were afire. The depression grew warm, but not sufficiently so to cause any particular uneasiness. McComb remained behind the cascade from about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon until 9 o'clock this morning. When he emerged the entire face of the canyon had changed, the fire having cleared it of all vegetation. He made his way through fallen branches and burning limbs with considerable difficulty, but reached this city little the worse for his exciting adventure.

It smokes the boys of the United This has been recognized for them, but it is only recently that efforts have been made to up to it. It is true that the Constitute legislature enacted a law to it; but, like many other seems to be dead letter. Saturday afternoon Mr. John S. addressed a special meeting of Street school branch of theette league on "The Evils ofette Habit." The High Street the only one in the city where of the league, which is really organization, has been established. The matter was first brought by Wilbur F. Gordy's attendant Mr. Henry T. Sperry. The origin in Troy, N.Y., number of branches have been established in Albany, New York and Gordy said, "I was interested once, because it seemed to practical thing for the boys." School branch was formed last and has been doing its work and has gradually growing until it now has about 150. It holds its meetings on the day of each month during the year, and the session, which is held, is at the noon hour. Signs the following pledge and also becomes a member and is wear the button: The undersigned, pupils of the north school, do hereby pledge upon honor, first, to abstain date from smoking cigarettes of tobacco in any form until reach the age of 21 years; second all the influence that we induce all public school boys of our acquaintance to give strain from smoking cigarettes boys shall be 21 years old; third driving this pledge we become of the Anticigarette league." Institution sets forth the name section; the objects, already in the pledge, in the second usual officers in the third constitution provides for a ten members from the differ- the school, and also lays that no meetings shall be cool hours, and that the prin- school shall be present atimg." Gordy states that in his league is doing a good deal there is no urging on his part water in the depression in the rock sufficiently large to afford a place of safety from the flames. Into this he sprang. The walls were damp and cool, and McComb was satisfied for the time being he was safe. In the meantime the fire had spread raidly, and before long the brush and trees directly over the place of refuge were alire. The depression grew warm, but not sufficiently so to cause any particular uneasiness. McComb remained behind the cascade from about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon until 9 o'clock this morning. When he emerged the entire face of the canyon had changed, the fire having cleared it of all vegetation. He made his way through fallen branches and burning limbs with considerable difficulty, but reached this city little the worse for his exciting adventure. Fashion Hints From Newport. Crepon, ribbons, lace and fine, dainty, fuzzy lingerie are the fancies for spring and summer gowns. Chiffon holds its own well in spite of its long popularity. The mixture of thin and thick goods in one costume continues. A pretty gown was of a green and black wool of a wiry quality. This material made the full plain skirt and the large sleeves. The waist was of green silk covered with black accordion plaited chiffon. Down the edge of every plait were fine steel beads. The collar was of green chiffon. The effect of the waist covered lengthwise, with strings of the steel beads, was bewildering, as the plaits fell together and apart with every movement of the wearer. The chiffon had the fashionable blouse length and hung over the skirt at the waist line. Accordion plaited chiffon, used for vests sometimes, has on every fifth plait an edge of narrow valenciennes lace. This is the favorite lace of the season. The box plait is to be a decided feature of summer fashions as it was of the winter, and the same sagging effect is seen on the front of waists, but the backs are made flat and trig, except for very slender women. The box plait in the middle of the bodice in front is often edged with a graduated ruffle of the waist material.

The Cellar In Springtime. Be lavish in the use of lime. Charcoal also is an excellent disinfectant and purifies an open box of it makes a good cellar ornament. Admit a draft of fresh air daily, however cold the weather. Do not let rubbish accumulate. If your desire for boarding old things is irresistible gratify it anywhere but in the colliery, and upon a failure so do to sald certified check shall be forfeited to said City, and said Board of Trustees may thereupon sell the same damp and cool, and McComb was satisfied for that time being he was safe. In the meantime the fire had spread raidly, and before long the brush and trees directly over the place of refuge were alire. The depression grew warm, but not sufficiently so to cause any particular uneasiness. McComb remained behind the cascade from about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon until 9 o'clock this morning. When he emerged the entire face of the canyon had changed, the fire having cleared it of all vegetation. He made his way through fallen branches and burning limbs with considerable difficulty, but reached this city little the worse for his exciting adventure. Fashion Hints From Newport. Crepon, ribbons, lace and fine, dainty, fuzzy lingerie are the fancies for spring and summer gowns. Chiffon holds its own well in spite of its long popularity. The mixture of thin and thick goods in one costume continues. A pretty gown was of a green and black wool of a wiry quality. This material made the full plain skirt and the large sleeves. The waist was of green silk covered with black accordion plaited chiffon. Down the edge of every plait were fine steel beads. The collar was of green chiffon. The effect of the waist covered lengthwise, with strings of the steel beads, was bewildering, as the plaits fell together and apart with every movement of the wearer. The chiffon had the fashionable blouse length and hung over the skirt at the waist line. Accordion plaited chiffon, used for vests sometimes, has on every fifth plait an edge of narrow valenciennes lace. This is the favorite lace of the season. The box plait is to be a decided feature of summer fashions as it was of the winter, and the same sagging effect is seen on the front of waists, but the backs are made flat and trig, except for very slender women.
