TABLE OF THE RAINFALL. Mr. Darling's tabulated statement of the rainfall since the season of 1877-8 furnishes a volume of interesting information upon this topic. During the week .89 of an inch has fallen, bringing the total for the season up to 11,70 inches. Last year to date we had 4,76 inches. The year before 3,08, and in the season of 1897-98, 4.35. Thus the rainfall this year almost equals the precipitation of the three preceding years to date.

R.G.Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review of Trade Conditions for January in Southern California. Business the past month at trade centers throughout the country has compared favorably with January a year ago. All the great industries have large orders booked and business is done at prices showing tendency to rise except in textiles. In our immediate district, prospects for a prosperous year were never better. The rain has come often and in such generous quantities that the soil is in excellent condition. Grain is making rapid growth. More has been planted than at any other time within the past four years. It is estimated that 800,000 acres have been sown to wheat and barley in the seven southern counties. About one-half of this acreage will be cut to hay. The acreage put to beans is about the same as last year, and quite double the amount of sugar beets are being planted. The deciduous fruit growers are greatly encouraged over the outlook for coming season's crop. In many sections the rains have brought trees out of that doubtful state occasioned by drought of past few years and buds are swelling nicely for this time of year. The citrus crop has been going forward as rapidly as car service permits. The three months' shipments aggregate 5500 carloads, about 1500 more than last year. Nothing has occurred to change the estimate of the year's crop, which has been placed at 20,000 carloads. The dried fruit market is still very quiet, but spring demand should open up in the next few weeks. Local stocks are firm in all kinds. Hay is scarce, firmly held. Locally, jobbers report business satisfactory for this time of year. Retail trade good, stimulated by annual clearances preparatory to stock-taking. Real estate reported in good condition. Demand mostly for business property and improved income paying ranches. Building is active. Architects and builders say that they have more work on hand for 1901 than any year since '95. Reports from oil fields show interest is still keen in this industry. While there is no abatement in search for new territory, operations are mainly in established fields. Outside capital is shadows Play Queer Freak WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Seven times in the last three years there has been published descriptions of various shadings that have appeared from time to time on the north or porch of the White House. These shadings represented the prairie and bent form of an old woman, one hand resting on an indistinct object that resembled a spinning wheel. This shadow, cast by the sun's shining through the rolling which part of the colonial structure at the mansion, appeared daily certain hour for two or three wives and as it was about that time Press McKinley's mother died the physician made a deep impression on the superstitious persons. The latest manifestation of freeness on the White House portico peared today. The sun was brightly, and at 12:50 o'clock shadow of a nondescript form appeared on the great pillar at the extreme northwest corner of the portico soon took on definite shape, and o'clock represented the face shoulders of President McKinley profile. The silhouette was so strong in its accuracy that many persons saw it remarked that a more coarse profile drawing of Mr. McKinley not be made by any artist. Theness was not a correct one for less than two minutes. It changed with the altering position of the sun, and at 1:10 o'clock had summed a remarkably perfect likeness to the face of the late Queen Victoria even to an object on the head ribbing a crown. This likeness lasted for two or three minutes, then gradually disappeared. Two hours later the same success shadow portraits appeared on northeast pillar at the outside portico, forty feet away.

A young Pittsburg arose from his bed one morning and dressing, went down stairs to breakfast. As he sat at the table he carelessly put his right hand into his trousers pocket and was surprised to find $7.25. He knew that when he retired for the night he had just 25 cents and had fallen asleep while wondering where he could borrow money the next morning. He was highly elated over the discovery, for although he thought long and hard, he could not remember how he had come into the possession of the money. After work that day he took a friend to the opera and later to supper. When he returned home about midnight, a brother stepped into his room and said, "Harry, did you pay that bill for me today?" The young man was almost dumfounded. It all came to him at once. Shortly after he had retired the previous night his brother had entered the room and, placing the money in his trousers pocket, said: "Say, old man, when you go down town tomorrow, I wish you would pay Mr. — that bill I owe him. I promised to let him have it by tomorrow." The young man was dozing at the time, and that accounts for his failure to remember what his brother had said to him. He was kept busy borrowing from friends to make up the amount the next day, and he declares that hereafter his brother will have to pay his own bills—Pittsburgh Chronicle. As She Described It.

Advices from Arizona go to show that rainfall is this year abundant and general over whole territory, which is causing boom to mining industry, besides being of incalculable value to sheep and cattle raisers.

An Atlanta woman who is deeply interested in psychological research relates the following story about an experience her husband had in the realms of the occult: "We were having a new home built, and my husband went to it every day, to see what progress was being made. One day as he stood in the front room up stairs his attention was attracted to the street. Looking out of the window, he saw a funeral procession passing from the door and out through the gate. The casket was small, white and covered with flowers. He recognised friends and neighbors in the crowd, and through some indemnifiable impression he understood that the corpse was that of his son, though he had no son at that time. Surprised and startled at the thought, he saw the procession vanish, and he was entirely at a loss how to account for the experience. The tour was noon, and there was nothing in his mood or environment apparently that induced the subconscious. "Within a few months a little son was born to us, and at the age of 8 years it was carried out of the gate in a flower covered, white casket and followed by the same friends my husband and seen that noontime long before. What explanation can be given of this circumstance and experiences like it that are constantly being related in societies of psychical culture?"—Atlanta Constitution. A Funny Surprise. This story is told by a man who dislikes nothing so much as to be asked questions: "My little girl is very fond of seashells," he said, "and having seen called to Atlantic City on business one day, I took advantage of the opportunity to run down to the beach to see if I could pick up a few.

"I hobbled into Mr. Black drug store one evening," says W Nelson of Hamilton, Ga., "and B meed me to try Chamberlain's Pain for rheumatism with which I had fered for a long time. I told him no faith in any medicine as she failed. He said: 'Well if Champa Pain Balm does not help you, you not pay for it.'

A peculiar religious sect, the sect of whose belief is based upon their principle of food, is thriving in Vancoura and throughout British Colony There are 200 members in the church at Vancouver, and their members are growing.

The last summer, when I was on my way back to Vienna from the appetite cure in the mountains, I fell over a cliff in the twilight and broke some arms and legs and one thing or another and by good luck was found by some peasants who had lost an ass, and they carried me to the nearest habitation, which was one of those large, low, thatch roofed farmhouses, with apartments in the garret for the family and a cunning little porch under the deep gable decorated with boxes of bright colored flowers and cats; on the ground door a large and light sitting room separated from the milk cattle apartment by a partition, and in the front yard rose, stately and fine, the wealth and pride of the house, the manure pile. That sentence is Germanic and shows that I am acquiring that sort of mastery of the art and spirit of the language which enables a man to travel all day in one sentence without changing care. A Funny Surprise. This story is told by a man who dislikes nothing so much as to be asked questions: "My little girl is very fond of seashells," he said, "and, having been called to Atlantic City on business one day, I took advantage of the opportunity to run down to the beach to see if I could pick up a few. I was strolling along the sand, gathering a few shells and pellets, which I placed in my handkerchief, when along came one off those old illicit who ask questions with their mouths which their eyes could answer. "He unfall upon me and sniff: 'Time ling,' isn't it? Are you gathering shells?'" "No," I snapped back, saying the first thing that popped into my mind: I'm looking for a set of false teeth I cast while in battling. "He expressed his agony, and then his face lit up as his eye caught sight of a pink and white object on the sand. 'Well, I declared! Here they are now!' he exclaimed, and sure enough he picked up a set of false teeth lying at his feet. I was too surprised to do anything but grab them and put them in my pocket. The funny part of it is that I never had a tooth pulled in my life. I wonder who that false set belongs to."—Philadelphia Record. The Diseased Rich at Baden-Baden.

Everybody was strange, foreign languages were pelting me from the rear, noiseless flunkies were carrying pampered lap dogs with crests on their nasty little embroidered blankets, fat old women with epilepsy and gouty old men with scrofula, representing the aristocracy at its best, were being half carried to and from tables, and the degeneracy of noble Europe was being borne in upon my soul with a sickening force.

Widows Play Queer Freaks. WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—Several in the last three years there have published descriptions of various scar shadows that have appeared time to time on the north or main street of the White House. One of scarshadows represented the profile of an old woman, with band resting on an indistinct oblique resembled a spinning wheel. Scarshadow, cast by the sun's rays through the rolling which is a part of the colonial structure at the top of the mansion, appeared daily at an hour for two or three weeks. It was about that time President McKinley's mother died the phenomenon made a deep impression on many constitutive persons. The latest manifestation of freakishness on the White House portico appeared today. The sun was shining brightly, and at 12:50 o'clock the sun of a nondescript form appeared in the great pillar at the extreme west corner of the portico. It took on definite shape, and at 1 o'clock represented the face and shoulders of President McKinley in place. The silhouette was so striking that accuracy that many persons who remarked that a more correct drawing of Mr. McKinley could be made by any artist. The likeness was not a correct one for more than two minutes. It gradually aged with the altering position of sun, and at 1:10 o'clock had ascribed a remarkably perfect likeness to the face of the late Queen Victoria, to an object on the head resembling a crown. His likeness lasted for two or three states, then gradually disappeared. Hours later the same succession of low portraits appeared on the east pillar at the outside of the coo, forty feet away. To Be Prepared war is the surest way for this nation to maintain peace. That is the reason of the wisest statesmen.

The Errors of Society. The dark blots that divorce makes in society are too easily seen and too sad to write much about, so I will give only a few incidents of the absurd and humiliating positions in which people may be placed: I once occupied a seat on the grand stand at the Newport Casino during a tennis match. After I had been in my seat a short time, a man I knew, once divorced, but remarried, came in with his new wife and occupied the two seats on my left, and a few moments later the woman from whom he had been divorced and who had also remarried came in with her husband and sat directly on my right. Whether the ticket agent arranged this for a joke I am not prepared to say, but all went well until I grew tired of the game and got up, leaving the four in a straight row, which made an interesting picture for a few moments. The four soon realized, however, what people were staring and smiling at, and looking daggers at one another, immediately rose and disappeared in the crowd. The incident amused the lads and misses very much. A lady I know very well in New York, who was giving a dinner party, told me she always dreaded the arranging of her guests at her tables, lest she put people together whom the "law had set apart," as she put it. "It would be perfectly dreadful to sent a gentleman beside a lady to whom he is paying alimony."—Smart Set. The Court Needed Posting. A trial was progressing at the City Hall police court when the judge esploded in a group of young girls mingling in the large audience a delinquent witness whom it was urgent he interview. "Mr. Marshall," his honor exclaimed, "have that young lady step here." "Which young lady, your honor?" "I don't know her name—the one with the light straw hat and dark skirt," the court added. The clew was insufficient. "What kind of waist?" inquired the marshal. "Ruffle on the sleeves and trimmed with—er—the usual sort of what d'you call em," said the court. "I understand. You mean leg of mutton sleeves; with—er—what's his name attachments," replied the marshal in faint bope of striking the technical term. "No; not exactly," said the judge. "Would you recognize an empire gown if you saw one. Mr. Marshal?" "Upon oath, no; I wouldn't swear to it." "Well, I know it wasn't an empire." "Hit the Nail On the Head." If you have eruptions, pains in the head or kidneys, stomach trouble and feelings of weariness, "Hit the nail on the head." Hood's Sarsaparilla is the hammer to use. It will purify your blood. The masses praise it for doing this and making the whole body healthy. Hood's Sarsaparilla Never Disappoints THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON. (Benson's Plaster is Pain's Master.) From the natural impulse to "put something on" a painful spot all applications for the relief of pain have arisen. The most successful have ever been polities or plasters, and the best of these is Benson's Porous Plaster.

Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds, chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia, kidney trouble, lame back, and other ailments that make Winter a season of suffering and danger. It relieves and cures quicker than any other remedy. Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's, as they possess none of its curative power. Insist on having the genuine. The people of every civilized land have testified for years to the superlative merit of Benson's Plasters; and 5,000 physicians and druggists of this country have declared them worthy of public confidence. In official comparisons with others, Benson's Plasters have been honored with fifty-five highest awards.

Six months ago the broth was first formed as a branch of the Seventh Day Adventists and now it has so far as to erect mills equipped with machinery for the grinding and manufacture of various kinds of food in peanuts. An abstract belief, one of the principios held by the new organization is that Christ will appear on earth within a few months and perhaps only a few weeks.

Painful Results of Stoutness. A stout man lifted himself into a Heights car the other morning and took the only vacant seat. Pretty soon a lady came aboard, and the stout man quickly arose to tender her his place. As he reached a standing position the car suddenly started, and he sat down with a sound like a broken slat. Blushing deeply, he once more struggled to his feet and was about to step out into the alley when the motorman saw a wagon on the track and fiercely applied the brakes. The car stopped so suddenly that the stout man doubled over on a thin young man in the front seat and almost cracked his slender neck. The young man pushed the dents out of his derby hat and muttered some remarks that were not complimentary to fat people in general. Then the fat man braced himself for the third time, and the lady sympathetically remarked, "Please don't trouble yourself." But the fat man's spirit was up. He crowded out into the alley and filled it so full that the lady could not get by him; then, with a polite wave of his hand, he indicated the seat and backed out of the way. Thank you!" said the lady very sweetly. "But I get off at the next stop." Then the fat man went out and filled up the back platform. Unmarried. DENVER (Col. February 6.-William J.
