A GLIMPSE OF TOKYO FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. SCENES IN THE SCARRED CAPITAL OF EASTERN JAPAN. A widespread medley of unpleasant sights, odors and sounds—some of the inconveniences That Deset the Foreigner In Shopping. Tokyo, the vast sprawling capital of eastern Japan, a comparatively young city, is aged with the scars of fire, of earthquake and of war. This great city, once of 1,000,000 inhabitants, spread over what is popularly estimated as a hundred square miles, seems still to cower in the shadow of the fortress of the great Iyeyama. For the American tourist unprepared for the real orient and knowing Japan only through her art products and the few pen pictures of the artist shapo-dists who have embarrassed her with their praises Tokyo is a rare purgative. Except for the stately and dignified tombs of the shoguns and the fine official grounds and buildings of the capital he finds his senses assaulted on every side by unpleasant sights, odors and sounds. Approaching Tokyo by train Yo-kohama, he sees the green hills placarded with enormous advertisements. Arrived in the city, he finds the poster and billboard everywhere monstrous and flagrant. Stagnant sewers lie along the roadside, and foul odors arise from the pavements, constantly wet down by the householders. Porters and store-keepers with a rag of a breochclout or a scent skirt jostle, shout and stare, and perhaps a whole family may be seen in a doorway ready for the tub from which you see the steam arising. A street called the Ginga is the state street of Tokyo, and here in the evening you may find an infinity of wares spread out upon the walk, which is one of the few real sidewalks in Japan. Most of these wares, however, are a vast inconsequential array of cheap trifles, such as the enterprising manager of an American "five cent store" might gather together. There are however, a number of somewhat pretentious stores to be seen by the persistent shopper. Shopping in Tokyo is not attended by many tourists; begin with your rich taste for English and notices that there are known only in the West. Where a street is so crowded it runs around all but two houses, two hotels. The City of Anaheim with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 44 miles from the foot-hills, and 1484 feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles—the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for outdoor life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely sunny, seldom rising above 30 degrees in summer, or falling below 22 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of harsh frosts and cold winds make it place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just efficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is rich sandy loam which never bakes it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, orange, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracies of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for logging on a small scale. The food are a few of the products: lemons, walnuts, grapes, apricots, sugar beets, bordeaux of all kinds. They are a Mind-reader "It is doubtful if such kind and courtesy can be met unless read employees on the thorough trains west of Chicago. They are all mind-readers." All you do to look a little more somebody will immediately unearth the exact information need. You are looked after welcome guest." This letter was written by a lady who rushed across the Rock Island tour car. All that it is leave Los Angeles via the Rock Island System. Yeast—Have you got another throat? Crimsonbeak—No. It's throat — Yankara Statesman Most of these wares, however, are a vast inconsequential array of cheap trifles, such as the enterprising manager of an American "five sent store" might gather together. There are however, a number of somewhat prestigious stores to be seen by the persistent shopper. Shopping in Tokyo is attended by many amateurs, beginning with your rickshaw and wandering about on foot you will soon attract a curious crowd, the clatter of whose wooden gets upon the flags will well nigh defen you. It is a good natured, well meaning crowd, however, and will soon be scattered by a policeman. If there are any clerks going your way they will address you in the hope of learning a few words of English or inviting you to their stores. There is no hostility or insult, only curiosity and good natured, childish amusement. Modesty is an unknown quantity in Japan, as one soon learns. If your rickshaw man's two garments become damp he is likely to change them before you and fellow travelers in the cars are sure to change their clothes without deference to place or surroundings. Men and women use the same tank at the same time in the public baths without a thought of impropriety. The streets of a Japanese city are full of interesting sights and seem never twice the same. Every store and every passerby is a novelty that chains the attention for a moment. In a land where nearly all wares are hand made every particle has some individuality, and one is led on with the hope of finding something better than the rest. Heavy loads are carried through the streets on the backs of men and women, on horses and on two wheeled carts. The carts are drawn by bulls or shaggy northern stallions and are guided by the driver, who walks with the pole. The burdens carried by women and children are remarkable. All over Japan the heaviest work is done by women, the bricks and masonry for the new museum and government buildings being so transported in the heat of midsummer. Children carry their brothers and sisters strapped to their backs and haul great loads on heavy carts. The life of the laboring classes seems very arduous, and they are remarkably patient and industrious. Throughout city and country every one seems to be hard at work. The death rate of Tokyo is very high. The custom of carrying very young children strapped on the back with their heads unprotected from the sun forms our section of county very attractive and geous for truck raising, or for lying on a small scale. The four are a few of the products: lemons, walnuts, grapes, apricots, sugar beets, borage vegetables of all kinds. A possession is the possessor and Loan company; two more are money and order; large farm, bank, several commercial houses; two hundred newspapers. The city is its veew and lighting plant. FACEBOOK The census bureau has issued bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensive mother part of this issue. On the interesting features of the population is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties No. farms Los Angeles Angels Riverside San Bernardino San Diego But it is in the average of irrigated lands that Orange county takes its precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties Los Angeles Angels Riverside San Bernardino San Diego Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 percent is the farmer's irrigated area compared with that of the latter almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have told many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsome and most productive county that outsides and is settling up faster than any other in the State. children are remarkable. All over Japan the heaviest work is done by women, the bricks and masonry for the new museum and government buildings being so transported in the heat of mid-summer. Children carry their brothers and sisters strapped to their backs and haul great loads on heavy carts. The life of the laboring classes seems very arduous, and they are remarkably patient and industrious. Throughout city and country every one seems to be hard at work. The death rate of Tokyo is very high. The custom of carrying very young children strapped on the back with their heads unprotected from the sun leads to thousands of cases of brain fever and blindness. A majority of the children bear the marks of skin diseases, and their heads are often nauseating to behold. The water used in the city is suspicious, and travelers drink spring water or tea. The general practice of rubbing certain wooden images on the temples to secure freedom from various forms of disease undoubtedly assists the spread of various disorders.—Chicago, Chronicle. Making Without Words. Spanish young ladies hold animated conversations with their lovers by means of a fan, which they always carry. Italians use a flower for similar purposes, and a young girl who may be apparently idly pulling the petals from a rose is in reality making arrangements for perhaps a secret visit to the opera house with her lover. In Malta comparatively few people can read, yet nearly every one holds a prayer book when at church. The reason for this is that a prayer book language is in existence, and by carefully watching each other's movements two persons can readily and secretly communicate with each other through the various positions in which the books are held being recognized as code words. Marital Its. Most homes would be far happier if men were as considerate of their wives as they were of their sweethearts. If each remembered that the other was a human being, If they endeavored to be as agreeable as they were in their coorridion days. If domestic trials and tribulations were not told to neighbors. If household expenses were in proportion to the husband's salary. If privileges taken were given—American Queen. San Diego is eleven times its size, but it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have sold many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsome and most productive county that does outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. TURF TALKS. The Fort Wayne purses will aggregate $35,000. Over 87,000 horses were sold at auction in East Buffalo during 1897. Royal Victor, pacer, 2:08½, will be in the stable of Hiram Fox this year. It is said that Newcastle, 2:11½, will attempt to beat the two mile record in the fall. Mocking Bird, pacer, 2:08½, by Manbrine King, will be in the stud this season. The pacer Neil Aleyoner, 2:10½, is said to be going very fast in the stable of W. L. Rhodes. At Oakland, Cal., about the middle of June, 12 days' rotting and pacing will be given with $200 and $300 purses. George Y. Bollinger, ex-sheriff of Santa Clara county, has a colt by Boo-dle, 2:11½, out of the dam of Our Boy, that is threatened with speed. It is said that Mr. Monroe Salisbury is buying up Montana horses of the pack grain variety and will take them to Alaska and go into the freighting business. Willing to Waive That. "Miss Angeline," began the poor but proud young man, "if I were in a position to ask you to be my wife"— "Good gracious, Mr. Throon!" she exclaimed. "In a position? The idea! Do you think I would want you to get down on your knees?"—Exchange. When a man is determined to rise in the world, it is better not to interfere with him too much.

This letter was written by a lady who made the trip across the continent in a Rock Island tourist sleeping car. All that it is necessary to add is that these cars leave Los Angeles daily via the El Paso-Rock Island Route; Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays via the "Scenic" line.

The City Calaboose and the Yellow Dog (Continued from 1st Page) Orange county park to the men that are building a ditch for the San Joaquin ranch having torn down the wire fence around the park at that point. We also draw the attention of the board of supervisors to the San Juan Capistrano jail. The steel cage in this jail is all right, but it is impossible to get into it without passing through the butcher shop in which the jail is located. This makes it impossible for the constable to put a prisoner in jail when the butcher shop is closed, and we would recommend that either the cage be put in a separate building or that a new door be cut through the adobe wall so that the constable could have the keys and be independent of the owners of the butcher shop. And further we would draw the attention of the school trustees to the bad sanitary conditions of the school houses at Westminster. Newhope, the eastside Garden Grove school and the Diamond district school. We have made a careful and thorough examination of the Los Busa Cnica Gun Club's property, and found that the Freeman river, which is navigable for small boats, is obstructed by having a fence and bridge across it. We also found a dam across the Bolsa bay which prevents boats from entering the bay. We would recommend that the proper authorities be requested to compel the Bolsa Gun Club to tear out all dams and fences and bridges which now obstruct the said Freeman river and Bolsa bay. In conclusion we want to give thanks of this jury to the honorable judge of Orange county, the very efficient district attorney and all other public officials in the county, for the hearty co-operation and help they have given us in making our examination of the different books and papers.

Both husband and wife welcome him with the sweetest of smiles and courtesy. When the visitor departs, he is bowed out with the most charming grace and in silver tones invited to call again. This is ominently right and proper, but why should not the same consideration prevail among those who are bound to each other by ties of family relationship—"our own, whom we love best?" Why should not the wife, the child, the servant, whom you meet every day in the most intimate relations—why should they not, I ask, be vouchesafed some courtesy as well as the guest who calls for a brief hour? "Charity begins at home," we are told, and I think courtesy should too. No one, be he man or woman, can stand weeks and years of continual fault finding or habitual discourtesy. You bow to your next door neighbor when you meet her in the street and give her a kind or cordial word. Why not be respectful to members of your own family? Try it. You will find you will be happier for it. Your home will become an ideal one, and every one will be influenced to good by the light which will radiate from it—Pittsburgh Press. The Green Field. While a number of workmen were sitting in a wine shop in the Bus de Charenton in Paris one day one of them, a man of forty, named Negocier, made a wager that he would drink a dozen glasses of absinth while 11 o'clock was striking. The wager was taken and the twelve glasses placed on the table. On the first stroke Negocier swallowed his first glass, and the clock had just finished striking when he drank the twelfth and last. While his companions were applauding the feat Negocier staggered and fell heavily to the floor. He was picked up dead. And Then Not Do It. Many people are entirely too hasty. A man ought to think two or three minutes before he opens his mouth to sing."—Philadelphia Ledger. Dragging Pains 2825 Keeley St., Chicago, Ill., Oct., 9, 1903. I suffered with falling and congestion of the mouth, with severe pains through the groins. I suffered terribly at the time of mannuration, had blinding headaches and rushing of blood to the brain. What to try I knew not, for it seemed that I had tried all and failed, but I had never tried Wine of Cardui, that blessed remedy for sick women. I found it pleasant to take and soon knew that I had the right medicine. New blood gained in courses through my veins and after using cloven bottles I was a well woman. Mrs. Bush is now in perfect health because she took Wine of Cardui for menstrual disorders, bearing down pains and blinding headaches when all other remedies failed to bring her relief. Any sufferer may secure health by taking Wine of Cardui. The first bottle convinced the patient she is on the road to health.

The Successful Man In Business "That man is a great thinker," was the admirable comment. "Yes," answered Senator Sorghur despairingly.

Morocco at little of its close proximity to Europe is the most fanatical of the Arabian countries. Christians are fated by the natives throughout the country, and it is often very dangerous to go outside the town of Tanger. The business of Morocco is entirely in the hands of the Moorish Jews, who annex considerable wealth in the open ports. It is not prudent for a Christian to stay anywhere but in the Jewish quarter. At the capital, Morocco City, and Pez the natives expectate and burl stones at the "foreign lodgels," as they call them, and no Christian is safe in the streets unless escorted by soldiers.
