MISSIONS OF CALIFORNIA. Some Noteworthy Examples of Architecture. The Site Chosen was Usually upon a Commanding Point in a Valley a few Miles Inland from the Sea. Where Water was at Hand to Irrigate Their Gardens and Orchards, and Where the Surrounding Country was in View to Guard Against Surprise by Indians. The founding and developing of the missions of California constitutes an episode unique in history. The story has been often related, but a brief account cannot be omitted in a sketch of Southern California. To understand the zeal of these men and the wonders which they performed, it is necessary to realize their point of view on the great questions of life, and this in an age of skepticism, is not easy. It is hard for us to understand that the mainspring of men's action could have been a belief, bitterly realistic, that the souls of all human beings not baptized into the Catholic church were certain to suffer the eternal torments of hell punishment. To men of gentle and refined natures, the pity aroused by this belief stimulated them to almost superhuman effort, and enabled them to consecrate their lives to endless toil and pain in behalf of the savages thus doomed by divine mandate. It was this conviction which enabled Father Junipero Serra, an old man with a painful sore of years' persistence upon his leg, to walk with trembling steps from San Diego to Monterey, and weep because he could do so little for his people. To illustrate the torments of hell he would, during his sermons, pound his breast with a stone until the blood would stream from the wounds. To his dying day he would relate, with tears in his eyes, the incident of the first Indian baby he attempted to baptize. The mother had consented to the ceremony and stood before him with her child. Suddenly, just as he was about to sprinkle water in the baby's face, she turned and fled, panic-stricken. He always felt that some unworthiness of his was responsible for the loss of this infant's soul. When the news of the founding of the Monterey Mission reached Mexico and Spain, the people were filled with joy and a festival was held in honor of the event, although all that had been accomplished was the erection of a rude hut of thatch, with a cross beside it and the mission bell suspended in a tree. But it meant to them the salvation of countless Indian souls during the years although barbaric in feeling, are often beautiful and soft in color. Father Serra did not live to see the full realization of his hopes and plans, but the seed had been sown ere his death. Fifty years from the date of the establishment of the first mission, a chain of twenty-one establishments dotted the coast valleys, each within an easy day's journey of the next. There were on an average about a thousand Indians living permanently at each mission, and many thousands of cattle, horses and sheep roamed over the intervening country. These Indians were devout Catholics, conversing in the Spanish tongue, living under a strict ecclesiastical regime and carrying on faithfully the manifold occupations imposed upon them. From the very inception of the mission movement, however, it was intended that the Indians should become self-sustaining, and when finally converted and civilized, left to their own devices. With the growth of power and temporal possessions, the Franciscans became more worldly as a class. They did not wish to relinquish the authority won at cost of so great labor, and subsequent events proved that it would have been far better for the Indians had they been left in power. But the politicians of Mexico finally succeeded in passing the order of secularization which placed the missions in the hands of administrators to become the prey alike of politicians and the people. What the hand of man finally spared has since been at the mercy of the elements and many of the beautiful structures have become mere crumbling heaps of ruin. The Landmarks Club, organized and carried on largely by the enthusiasm of Charles F. Lummis, has already done much toward preserving what is left of the missions. They have restored a large part of San Juan Capistrano, one of the most beautiful and extensive ruins in America. The work having been accomplished at surprisingly small cost under the careful direction ofudge Richard Egan, and have recently undertaken a similar labor upon San Fernando. Look of sufficient funds alone prevents them from protecting what is left of all the other missions, and it is hoped that this deficiency will be supplied ere long. San Luis Rey has been restored in part by the Franciscans under the direction of Father O'Keefe, and it is now used as a school for the education of priests who are to serve in Mexico, the government of our neighboring republic not tolerating such schools in its midst. When I first visited this mission the priests were holding an afternoon service. I stepped inside from the warm, sunny day into the chill, vault-like church, and in the dimly lighted place saw one Mexican woman with her black shawl drawn over her head, kneeling upon a mat before the altar, her little child beside her. They were the only worshipers in view but the voices of the priests has attracted to herself a larger collection of warm friends. The ceremonies performed at 8 o'clock by Reviam McCormack, in the present large number of invited guests, church was beautifully decorated with smillax, festoons of brides rose white carnations, supplemented masses of tropical plants and fruit. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, and at the altar by the groom and husband, A. M. Lindsay. She was beautiful gown of white bengal train, the high bodice being somewhat trimmed with Duchessa. The light folds of her tulle veil fastened with a spray of orange soils, and she carried a bouquet lilies of the valley. After thommy Mr. and Mrs. Lefflingwere parted on their wedding journey will make their home in Full where Mr. Lefflingwell has a hard home. Mr. and Mrs. Lefflingwere the recipients of an unusually number of beautiful wedding gifts. Musings of the Band St You know me. I am the band leader. To be sure I have not been here long.

Suddenly, just as he was about to sprinkle water in the baby's face, she turned and fled, panic-striken. He always felt that some unworthiness of his was responsible for the loss of this infant's soul. When the news of the founding of the Monterey Mission reached Mexico and Spain, the people were filled with joy and a festival was held in honor of the event, although all that had been accomplished was the erection of a rude hut of thatch, with a cross beside it and the mission bell suspended in a tree. But it meant to them the salvation of countless Indian souls during the years to come, and a new land brought under the dominion of the King of Spain. Such was the temper and zeal of the people who accomplished these wonders in the wilderness, remarkable allike for their original singleness of purpose and lofty aim, and for the utter lack of result from their labor upon the ultimate destiny of the land in which they tolled. But their labors, although not productive of permanent result in the historical sequence of events, cannot fail to be significant in example and inspiration; for, however narrow and bigoted their view of life may have been, the unselfish devotion and purity of purpose, coupled with great personal suffering and sorrow, is a lesson which will ever be fraught with meaning as long as men suffer and yearn for better things. Father Serra and his three fellow-tollers in the work of establishing the missions, were life-long friends, and had been associated from youth in the order of Saint Francis. In middle life they were sent together to the college of San Fernando in the city of Mexico, and after much persuasion received permission from the home authorities to attempt the founding of a chain of missions in Alta California. The Jesuits of Lower California had just been replaced by Franciscans, and the time seemed ripe for an attempt at gaining a foothold to the north. The country was an unexplored wilderness, except that over a century before Vizcaino had discovered the bay of San Diego and Monterey, and had told of the hosts of savages living in the land. Accordingly, in 1769, an expedition left Mexico for the unknown land, divided into two detachments, one going by land and driving stock for the mission establishments, and the other embarking at sea in two vessels, one of which was lost before reaching San Diego. The plan called for the establishment of a mission at San Diego, another at Monterey, and a third at a point to be chosen midway between the two. I would that I could dwell upon the trials and disappointments of the first few years in this strange land—of the perils of unfriendly Indians, the danger of starvation, the wanderings without map or guide in search of Monterey, but for all this the reader must be referred to more detailed narratives. Then followed the labor of building churches and cloisters, with no materials at hand and with only the rudest of tools, with unskilled workmen and often surrounded by savages more or less hostile in their attitude. The site chosen was usually upon a commanding point in a valley a few miles inland from the sea, where water was at hand to irrigate their gardens and orchards, and where the surrounding country was in view to guard against surprise by the Indians. Timber for the missions had to be transported from the pine forests high up in the mountains, and at a distance of thirty to sixty miles from the building sites. It is related that when a tree was felled and dressed in the mountains it was put upon the shoulders of a line. San Luis Rey has been restored in part by the Franciscans under the direction of Father O'Keefe, and it is now used as a school for the education of priests who are to serve in Mexico, the government of our neighboring republic not tolerating such schools in its midst. When I first visited this mission the priests were holding an afternoon service. I stepped inside from the warm, sunny day into the chill, vault-like church, and in the dimly lighted place saw one Mexican woman with her black shawl drawn over her head, kneeling upon a mat before the altar, her little child beside her. They were the only worshipers in view, but the voices of the priests in monotonous refrain reverberated through the empty chamber. I seemed transported into another land and another century, and a feeling of awe and wonder took possession of me. It seemed unreal, uncanny, and I could almost fancy the kneeling mother and child were but ghosts, and the droning chant of the priests the voices of spirits. Pala, twenty miles inland from San Luis Rey, is another fascinating spot. The little church never attained the lignity of becoming a fully developed mission, but today, as in the old times, it is the place of worship for all the Indians in the country for miles around. Its quaint little belfry, overlooking the cemetery, is a unique feature, and the decorations in the church are singularly primitive in character, with saints carved and dressed by the Indians, and colored decorations of the crusdest character upon the walls. Pala is most beautifully situated at the foot of the Palomares Mountains, in a fertile valley where the San Luis Rey river winds through a tangle of verre. Between the mission and the Palma and Rincon Indian agencies is as lovely a country as any I encountered about the missions, and I was not a little surprised to find an excellent country inn at Pala, so removed from the centers of civilization. The power of the missions is gone, the people to whom they minister are largely gone and scattered, and the buildings are rapidly crumbling into dust, but about them still clinging at an atmosphere of romance and poetry, a melancholy peace which is sad, yet beautiful and fascinating. They hold the poet and painter in their spell, but for the pleasure-seeker there are brighter scenes and happier hours awaiting in modern centers of life, where the past is forgotten and where the days are too short to crowd in all the diversions which are at hand. Coronado and Pasadena, Catalina and Mount Lowe—on every hand are sightseers and pleasure-seekers, and the old life is but dimly remembered by the new. Charles A. Keeler, in "Southern California."

That dread disease—consumption, kills more men and women in a generation than the sea has swallowed up since the earliest history of navigation. There is a sure and safe life-boat ever ready to be launched for men and women who suffer from this merciless destroyer. It is Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures 80 per cent of all cases of consumption, bronchitis, asthma, laryngitis, weak lungs, spitting of blood and throat and nasal troubles. It acts directly on the lungs, driving out all impurities and disease germs. It soothes and heals the mucous membranes of the lungs, bronchial tubes, throat and nasal cavities. It restores the lost appetite, makes digestion and assimilation perfect, invigorates the liver, and purifies and enriches the blood. It fills the blood with the life-giving elements of the food that build new and healthy tissues. It tears down, carries off and excretes the diseased and half dead tissues upon which the germs of consumption thrive. It checks the rough and facilitates expectoration until the lungs are thoroughly cleared. It is the great blood-maker and flesh-builder. Unlike cod liver oil, it does not build flabby flesh, but the firm, muscular tissue of health. It does not make corpulent people more corpulent. Thousands have testified to their cure under this great medicine after they were given up by the doctors, and all hope was gone. An honest dealer will not suggest some inferior substitute for the sake of a little extra selfish profit. A man or woman who neglect constipation suffers from slow poisoning. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. One little "Pellet" is a gentle laxative, and two a mild cathartic. All medicine dealers sell them. No other pills are "just as good." The marriage of C. Waring Lefflingwell, Jr., of Fullerton and Miss Virginia Preston Rowland, eldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Frances F. Rowland of Pasadena, was solemnized on Wednesday evening of last week at All Saints' Episcopal church at Pasadena. The wedding was one of the most brilliant marriages which has occurred in that city for several years. The groom is the son of Dr. C. Waring Lefflingwell, the well-known Episcopalian divine of Knoxville, Ill., who is also the editor of The Living Church. The bride is one of the youngest of Pasadena's society girls, who by her charming personality and simple, unaffected manner had a Grand Jury in session here. members did some good honest work. They made some plain, manly stunts. They stated some things they are well-known facts: They made some wise recommendations. Now here another body of men who were elected by popular vote.

Be or neither? Both cannot be right; the matter to be decided? And if so whom? If a legally constituted citizen is not called on to decide it, who will do it? The talk of these citizens set me musing. Maybe there is a screw loose somewhere. It does seem as if we this country ought to be well governed. We want to be so. We pay so good price to be well governed, that numbers of men go about the country being ing office. They will often use anything to anybody who will want them; and when they have got a place they want, in many cases, stead of making their chief care for right performance of the duties of office, their chief work is laying wires to secure re-election. One of the great bights in our public life today is the large and ever-increasing number candidates for a place at the public counter. Men who cannot properly manage their own affairs can run their public affairs to perfection, so they say; and in consequence of great carelessness in putting such men into office and power, we suffer from so many social blunders, not to use a strong word. One thing is certain—no man can serve two masters, even though one may be a bank and the other a countryside. And it is not just the kind and time that report that he makes, but the active service that he gives that we want to be clean about. So muses the BAND STANDARD Anaheim, Jan. 28, 1898. How to Prevent Pneumonia. You are perhaps aware that pneumonia always results from a cold or frost an attack of la gripe. During the epidemic of la gripe a few years ago when so many cases resulted in pneumonia, it was observed that the attack was never followed by that disease when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was used. It counteracts any tendency of a cold or la gripe to result in that dangerous disease. It is the best remedy in this world for a bad cold and la gripe. Every bottle warranted. For sale by P.A.Dorge. Heroes of the War with Spain thousands of them, are suffering from lingering diseases induced by life in poisonous southern camps, the result of changes of climate, or of imperfect nutrition caused by improper and badly cooked food. Sleeping on the ground has doubtless developed rheumatism in hundreds who were predisposed to the disease. In such cases the Boys of '98 may take a lesson from the experience of the Heroes of the Civil War. Hundreds of the Boys of '63 have testified to the efficacy of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in driving out malaria, rheumatism and other diseases contracted during their days of hardship and privation in the army. These pills are the best tonic in the world. As Robinson, of Mt. Sterling, Ill., is a veteran of the Civil war, having served in the 83rd Pennsylvania Volunteers. He went to the war a vigorous farmer's boy and came back broken in health, a victim of acclatic rheumatism. Most of the time he was unfit for manual labor of any kind and his sufferings were all times intense. He says: "Nothing seemed to give me permanent relief until three years ago when my astonishment called to some of the wonderful curse effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had not taken more than half a box when I noticed an improvement in my condition, and I keep on improving steadily. To them Iowe my restoration to health. They are a grand remedy."—Mt.

DEDHAM, Me., Jan. 9.—Since the wardens began to enforce the game laws prohibiting the shooting of deer after Dec. 31, fresh meat has been a rarity in Frank Brown's lumber camp on the shores of Big Pond. This week, however, Brown has struck a streak of good luck which promises to keep his crew in fresh and tender raccoon meat for a month to come. Good, plump raccoons have always been hard to kill. The autumn hunters, who go out by moonlight and skulk about cornfields and orchards where sweet corn and sweet apples abound, never capture coons of any size, seldom getting anything larger than yearlings, with an occasional tough and toothless old setter that had grown desperate from hunger. As soon as the dogs were put on the trail of a fat coon the wily animal led them through the woods to some boggy marshlands that were inundated, and swimming out for half a mile or so among the ooze and lily roads, climbed the stub of some old pine that had been drowned out by the water, and hid itself away in the hollow cavity at the heart of the tree. As the water could not hold the scent for the dogs to follow, the coon coiled up and went to sleep until the barking subsided, when it stole out after nightfall to visit new fields. Every year dry wood grows more scarce in the Maine forests, the hunters and woodsmen using it up for kindling faster than it is produced from natural causes. Two days ago as Brown was cruising in the woods in quest of dry fuel, he saw a giant pine stub on a knoll in the middle of an ice marsh and cut it down, intending to load it on his sled and carry it to camp. As Brown was splitting the butt cuts so he could load them on his sled, his axe broke through the shell and entered something that felt like clay or putty, and on removing the axe he saw the blade was smeared with fresh blood. Thinking he had found a bear he proceeded cautiously, sling wooden wedges instead of his axe, and when the trunk fell apart he looked in the cavity and saw eight fat coons housed away for the winter. The cut above contained two more coons, while the stump held a fifty-pounder, the biggest one of the lot. He secured two cords of nice, dry wood and more than 200 pounds of fat coon meat from the tree, since which time he has neglected the wood chopping and turned coon hunter. He walks through the woods a few days after a camp snowstorm, and if he sees thawed roots along the trunk of a hollow tree, he knows that they are the telltale signs which indicate that an animal is inside and has melted the snow with...

ARGEST EXPORTS EVER RECORDED. Importations Into the United States from all Parts of the Globe Extremely Light. The import record of the calendar year 1898 is as remarkable as that reeling to its exports, but for opposite seasons. The total imports of the year are less than those of any calendar year in more than a decade, while the exports of the year are the largest on cord. The imports fall more than $100,000,000 below those of 1897, and nearly 100,000,000 below those of the years of heat depression, 1896 and 1894, on which occasions the imports were enormously light. That the importations in the early part of the year 1898 should have been not was surprising because of the heavy imports in certain lines prior to the enactment of the tariff law of 1897; that they should continue light bring the entire year in the face of a large home demand which prosper-business conditions would naturallyate has proved surprising to those slowing closely the commercial developments of the year. The importation of a full year's supply of wool, sugar and other articles of at least just prior to the enactment of the Dingley law naturally had a marked effect in reducing the imports the closing months of the calendar year 1897; but that the imports of the slings months of 1898 should remain low as those of 1897 is a matter of very considerable surprise. The No-Number imports in 1898 are no greater than those of November, 1897, and the even months of 1898, when compared with the corresponding months of 1897, 1896, show a remarkable reduction certain classes of imports.

The No-Number imports in 1898 are no greater than those of November, 1897, and the seven months of 1898 when compared with the corresponding months of 1897, 1896, show a remarkable reduction certain classes of imports.
