OUR CLIMATIC CONDITIONS As has been repeatedly stated, Anaheim is most favorably situated midway between the mountains and the sea. In round numbers, it may be described as lying twelve miles from the ocean and four and one-half miles from the nearer foothills, being about 150 feet above sea level. Just far enough from the sea to avoid the cold winds of winter, it is yet near enough to enjoy the cool breezes of summer. Far enough from the mountains to escape any excessive heat of summer, it is yet near enough to benefit by the clear mountain air as it descends toward the sea. As a natural consequence the climate is at all times devoid of extremes. The winters are warm and the summers cool when compared with the same seasons elsewhere. The nights are at all times cool, yet even in winter, frosts are of rare occurrence. The seasons are frequently designated as a dry and a wet season; yet the latter term does not convey an at all definite idea of the winter season. It need not be supposed that it indicates a steady downpour of rain or even persistent clouds and rain. There may possibly be fewer rainy days in one year in Southern California than in a single month of inclement weather in an eastern state. To be exact, there are, on an average, about three hundred days in the year during which the sun shines and a much greater number than that are free from rain. Seldom is there even a slight shower during the summer months, rarely any rainfall from May to October. The first showers may possibly occur in October; the heavier rains may appear in December, or the greatest rainfall may be deferred until January or even as late as March. The earlier rains as an instance of its ability upon civilization, in spite of the gun and the poisoned of the counties of the state some years paid bounties and there has been no dec total amount paid year by season nearly 20,000 scalp sented for bounty at $1 for killed.

Examination of the stomc coyotes by the Department ture experts show that wha a wide range of food, inclables and fruits, meat is th are, on an average, about three hundred days in the year during which the sun shines and a much greater number than that are free from rain. Seldom is there even a slight shower during the summer months, rarely any rainfall from May to October. The first showers may possibly occur in October; the heavier rains may appear in December, or the greatest rainfall may be deferred until January or even as late as March. The earlier rains are necessary to start the grain, the later ones to mature it. You will never hear the California farmer growling in regard to rainy weather. He knows there will be no more than the needed supply of water. During the season there are heavy showers, seldom a steady downpour. The rain has a convenient way of descending by night, leaving the days, very often, clear and beautiful, or with intermittent showers. Yet when it rains, it rains; the elements know how to conduct themselves; without thunder and lightning they attend strictly to business. They give ample warning; and when they subside they do so with no threatening, no grumbling; and the merchant and the fruit grower smile with the sun, for they know what irrigation means to the sun-kissed land. To prove to the gentle reader the facts related above in regard to the evenness of temperature throughout the year, the official average temperature is 64.3 deg. The average precipitation, 12.04 inches. Even though the temperature may rise on a few particular days far above the average, as was the case a few days last week, the oppressive, sultry humidity of the eastern "hot spell" is entirely absent, and it must be remembered that the nights are always cool. HEALTH-GIVING PROPERTIES The sanitary conditions of the city of Anaheim are excellent, as shown by the low death rate. Epidemics are comparatively unknown and cases of diphtheria and scarlet fever, quite uncommon, are always of a very mild type. The balmy air, devoid as it is of extremes, makes it an ideal climate for all suffering from catarrhil diseases of the respiratory organs. The citizens of this town have reason to feel proud of its supply of good meat, as clear as crystal and as pure as ice.

COYOTES ARE INCREASING The Cunning Wolf Matches his Wits Against Human Foes and Thrives In Spite of Constant Warfare The prairie wolves or coyotes of the West are holding their own against all efforts at extermination, if they are not actually increasing under the advance of settlement and civilization. The establishment of pioneer homes throughout the country has always resulted in thinning out the big wolves—the gray or dusky wolves and timber wolves—until they have gradually become extinct where they were formerly abundant. But not so with the coyote. A short account of the coyote in the West has just been published by the Department of Agriculture, in which the warfare which is carried on in Kansas against the little wolf is cited Howard & Spake Real Estate List your property with us.

Gates, committee. Napoleon and Mothers. A charming story is told of Napoleon which illustrates well his reverence for mothers, whom he rightly regarded as the "makers of men." When his army lay at Boulogne an English sailor who had been taken prisoner tried to escape on a rude sort of skiff which he had contrived with bits of wood and the bark of trees. Hearing of the poor fellow's unsuccessful attempt, Napoleon had him brought into his presence, and he then inquired whether the man had really intended to try to cross the channel in such a frail little boat. The sailor replied that he had meant to try in order to see his mother, who was old and infirm. "You shall see her," said Napoleon, "and take her this money from me, for she must be a good mother to have such an affectionate son." The Hedgehog's Frown. A hedgehog curls itself up by a frown—that is, by muscles like those which produce a frown—and it frowns severely or gently, according to circumstances. If it is poked hard it "sighs" itself tighter. If really hurt it frowns into a tight ball. The prickles can be erected in a measure, though as they point all ways this is not needed. They are as sharp as needles. We have only known one dog, a large black and white setter, which would deliberately bite a hedgehog till it killed it. But this dog was quite mad and shared some of the anaesthesia common to certain lunatics.—London Spectator. Books In the Home. Some curious remarks are sometimes overheard at the counters of public libraries. At Hull a young girl was heard agricultural department publishes various means of detection, but it seems that the coyote of the shrewdest of the animal and that he understands poison the trap almost as well as the bear, and can outrun and outwit the question which the department is considering is whether fencing must coyotes would be practicable. $100 Reward $100 Readers of this paper will be pleased to know there is at least one dreaded disease science has been able to cure in all cases and that is catarrh.

Some curious remarks are sometimes overheard at the counters of public libraries. At Hull a young girl was heard to whisper to her sister: "Don't get one of Miss Braddon's books. Ma will want to read it, and we shall have to wash up the supper things." In another case a boy went boldly up to the counter and said: "A book, please. Anything will do; it's for father."—Westminster Gazette. He Was Home Early. Mr. Newed (two weeks after marriage)—Don't sit up for me tonight, dear, as I may be detained downtown until midnight.
