In previous communications I have re- ferred to the marvellous, genial, salubrious and health -restoring character of the climate ; to the richness and unparalleled productiveness of the soil ; to the varied, exuberant and bounteous yield of grain and vegetables, fruits and flowers ; to the unique, picturesque, grand and. sublime 8 enery ; and to the diversified, intelligez t, gressive and rapidly -increasing popula- tif this fascinatingly attractive region, o the coast of the Pacific. I will stow advert to the provisions made for the scholastic and religious , culture of the people. ' All over the State, and. especially in the southern counties, numerous spacious, com- modious and well -furnished school -houses have been erected: The architecture o many of thein would do credit to any East- ern town or city. The funds required were raised by local asse>3ament. Even in small villages, and in rural sections, oft, seemingly in sparsely -settled districts, the school- house is the most striking feature in the landscape. Teachers are generally well qualified, and, in most cases, fairly re- munerated. Nearly . all the children of school age attend regularly. Many of them r cue or drive to school, and around the E eo1-house during school hours may be seen buggies, carts and saddles, from which small horses,mules or burros have for the timebeen relieved. In no State of the Union is more ample provision made for common schools than in California. In addition to the common schools numerous high schools, with properly -graded classes, are found in the cities, towns and villages. Grammar schools, where pupils of both sexes are pre- pared for . college or seminary (which are generally well attended, and in which effective work is being done), are also pro- vided. In the county of Los Angeles alone (to which I chiefly refer in these articles) there are not less than ten or twelve, situated in Los Angeles City, Pasadena, Monrovia, Gladstone, Lordsburgh, Ontario, San Bernardino, Riverside and other locali- ties.- The ocali- ties.The Presbyterians, Methodists and Bap- tists have each a denominational college, struggling, it is true, with financial diffi- culties, but prospering and hopeful. Seminaries for Young Ladies, Schools of Art and Design, and Conservatories of Music have also been opened. Thus a varied and liberal education is within the reach of all who desire it. In the northern part of the State, . near San Francisco, is situatedthe University of California, which is well equipped. And at Palo Alto, south of San Francisco, has recently been erected and established the Leland Stanford Junior University, which, in the extent and massiveness of its build- ings, the elegance of its accommodations, the attract veness of its surroundings, its varied and well selected' apparatus, and facilities for imparting instruction in every. department of learning, -classical, scientific,- philosophical cientificphilosophical and literary, . in the number and efficiency of its staff of professors, and in the amount of its endowrie eats, is not sur- passed, if equalled, in any of the older States of the Union—all the liberal and patriotic gift of the Hon. Senator Stanford, as a memorial of his only son, who was sud- denly removed in the spring -time of his years. Mrs. Stanford not only cordially co• operates with her generous husband in this great work, requiring the investment of mil- lions of dollars, but also gives. largely to other benevolent and philanthropic institu- tions. With regard to the religious, condition, • aspect and prospect of this . section of country they are similar to those of other newly -settled territories. Owing to the fact that people came with their predilec- tions in favor of the denomination to which they have belonged, or in which they have been reared, the church organizations are too numerous. Frequently in small villages and thinly -populated districts, four or five different sects seek to organize congrega- tions. Of course many of them are too small for .self-support, and they depend 1 rgely for aid on the Home Mission Board he East. Presbyterians, Congregation- ali As, Baptists, Methodists and Episcopa- lians often havechurches standing side by side, when one, or two at most, wouldac- commodate all the worshippers. In the Presbytery of Los Angeles there are seventy congregations. A few of them in the city and larger towns are strong, and not only self-supporting, but contribute freely to aid the weaker ones around them. Nearly all the congregations are supplied with pas- tors from the East or South, who come to California for their own health or that of their families. A very large proportion of the population attend upon public worship at least once a day, and a goodly number unite with the churches as c i n n uti ts. At present a good deal of religious interest has been awakened in Los Angeles through the labors of Rev. B. F. Mills, with whom nearly all the pastors of the city have unitedly and harmoniously co-operated. Crowded meetings have been held, and any have professed a desire for salvation. is too soon yet to form any just opinion to the extent and permanency of the re-• alts, though doubtless much good has been accomplished, and all the churdhes aroused to ' increased liberality and activity. Whether a general awakening and revival of religious life and service will take place. and spread over the entire country, cannot be forshadowed, though " 'Tis a consume, tion devoutly to be wished." A few Unitarian and Universalist churches have been planted in our midst, as also some who term themselves " Holi- ness People," but their influence is not extensive. - A number of people who pro- fess to hold the principles of ." Christian Science," so called, are very active, but produce small results. Christian Conferences and Chatauqua Assemblies are hold in various quarters. Young Men's Christian Associations, and Young People's Societies of Christian Endeavor,. are popular, and active in different spheres of work. , Sound temperance prinoiples control the conduct of many, but salooiig in the bity and villages are far too numerous, and an earnest effort is being pet forth to restrict their' number, and as far as practicable improve their character. In a few ) localities no saloons are licensed. Sabbath desecration is unhappily too common. Many people labor openly and avowedly on Sunday. On the whole, however, in my judgment, our people, morally and religiously, will compare favorably with other portions of the country similarly situ- ated; end -under-like- •conditions, -of-recent settlement and of a mixed population. Re- ligious privileges and the means of grace are brought within the reach of all our people. As I have said, I have in these articles had special, reference to Los Angeles County—the largest, most populous and most attractive of the southern counties of the State, in which the city of Los Angeles, the metropolis of Southern California, is situated. The entire country lying south of the Sierra Madre range of mountains, extending westward to the Pacific Ocean, and eastward to San Bernardino is as near perfection, all things, considered, for the enjoyment of life as can be found in any locality on either continent. The balmy air is perennial in its freshness. Hence the continual growth of trees and plants and the ceaseless bloom of flowers. The winters are as mild as the spring months of the Eastern States, and the summers, ofving teethe rarification and dry- ness of the air, and the cool breezes daily from the ocean, are, notwithstanding the high tempbrature, peculiarly salubrious and even highly enjoyable. The temperature gradually varies from mountain to sea. The sun -scorched slope of the mountain, the upland mesas, the warm, dry valleys, the shaded canyon with its crystal stream of - water, the headlands on the sea, and the broad sand -heath on which the waves of the Pacific quietly break, furnish such a variety of climatic conditions as are adapted to the needs of every class of invalids, and afford most at- tractive homes for families making a tem- porary sojourn, or seeking a permanent residence. People who desire a delightful home, with charming surroundings, with easy labor and pleasurable pursuits, 'can live here less ex- pensively than almost anywhere else. No man willing to labor need be idle. Employ- ment and fair wages await the willing worker. All who come 'hither with the honest purpose to obtain a livelihood, or to spend a few months of leisure in pleasant pastime, will find a hearty welcome, and will not be disappointed. H. M. S. GIBRALTAR. The Latest Addition to the Nmy .of Great Britain. Tho first-class protected cruiser Gibraltar, one of nine very similar vessels, the build- ing of which was authorized by the Naval Defence Act of 1889, was launched yester- day from the yard of Messrs. R. Napier & Sons, at Govan, near Glasgow. The Gib- raltar differs from some of her eight sisters in the fact that, .being wood -sheathed and coppered, she has a slightly larger displace- ment. The other sheathed and coppered ships of the class are the Royal Arthur, late Centaur, Crescent and SLe eorge, and the displacement of each 'w'T l be 7,700 tone. The unsheathed ships, the Edgar, Hawke, Endymion, Grafton and Theseus, displace but 7,350 tons apiece. The name Gibraltar is a very old end hon- orable one in the Royal Navy, and the new -ship is the eighth that has.. borne. it. _ The Ship, which was launched yesterday, is a steel twin-screw cruiser of 7,700 tons dis- placement, and 12,000 indicated -horse power, with triple expansion engines by Messrs. Napier, the builders of the hull. She is 360 feet in length and 60 feet in breadth, and she will, when ready for sea, draw rather over 24 feet of water. There are 6 boilers, with 48 furnaces. The cylinders are of 45 in., 59 in., and 88 in. in diameter respectively, with a 51 -inch stroke. It is calculated that developing 5,500. horse power the ship will have a speed of 16 knots ; developing 10,000 horsepower, aspeed of 18:!; knots ; and developing 12,000 horse power with a forced draught, a speed of 19!, knots. The coal capacity is 850 tons; and- the radius of action at economical speed is 10,000 miles. The armament will consist of one 9.2 in. 22 -ton gun, mounted on the poop, two 6 in. 5:} -ton quick -firing guns, mounted on the fore?astle ; ten 6 in. 54 -ton quick -firing guns, mounted five on each broadside, six being on the upper, and four, in sponsons, on the main deck ; twelve 6 -pounder quick -firing ; three 3 -pounder quick -firing ; eight machine guns ; two field or boat guns, and four 14 in. torpedo ejectors. The protective deck has a maxi- mum thickness of 5 in., and a minimum thickness of 2 in., and is of steel. Above and below the slopes of it there are coal bunkers. As the engines rise somewhat above the steel deck, the upper parts of them are protected by 5 in. inclined plates backed with :teak. The conning tower is of 12, in. plates ; the larger guns are pro- tected by steel shields, and, in addition to very numerous watertight compartments, there is a double bottom amidships. ' The total estimated cost of the vessel is just over £340,000, of which about ,£188,000 is for hull, masts and rigging, and £100,000 fiir machinery. The Gibraltar will have two funnels and two light masts, and will, like the others of her class, be fitted as a flagship.—London Time.,. • WALES' CHAMPION. A. Baltimore Celebrity Describes the Charm of the Heir Apparent. Ex Mayor Hodges, of Baltimore, has travelled extensively, both in America and abroad, has entertained liberally and has -met-•many-noted men. He says : " On, of the most popular and agreeable young men in Europe fourteen years ago was Albert Edward, Prince of Wales. I met him at a magnificent ball given under his auspices in Paris in 1878. I had heard and read much about the controlling influences, of his fascinating manners, and that they were simply irresistible when exer- cised for the capture of the female heart. I had always desired to meet this scion of royalty in social life, that I might have an opportunity to determine whether his successes were founded on per- sonal charms, or by reason of the bewilder- ing glitter of his royal position and supreme social influence. The ball furnished the oc- casion,and I made the bestpossibleuse of it. A part of the programme of theball was that the Prince should dance five quadrilles of honor•with that number of women of rank and title, who were present, all of whom I noticed were older than himself. After this heavy artillery practice, as I called it, had been completed, hp seemed, like a boy who hadjnished a laborious task and had gone. out t play. I saw very soon after the special quadrilles were over that he had no more use for the fat -fair -and -forty variety whom he had honored in the dances, and he skipped off to appropriate the most attractive damsel at the ball. She was beautiful enough for this world or the world to tome, and he seemed to know it. He took her to a corner of the ball -room, and after seating her, placed his chair in such a position as to shut off all intruders. Cunning fellow, I thought. He did not leave her, nor did he permit any other fellow to approach her until supper was announced, when he was compelled to escort the Duchess of Magenta, who was the wife of the President, to the table. " After closely observing the manners and movements of the Prince of. Wales dur- ing an occasion which extended into the early hours of the morning,1 concluded that hie .extraordinary popularity among women was chiefly due to his many personal charms. He had the kindest eyes, the most winning smile, the softest voice and the most ardent heart imaginable. I stated to some friends in Paris after I had met the Prince at the ball, that if I w . l.• a woman, there is but one man in the. that I knew of that I would be willing to marry for love, and that man is the Prince of. Wales. So you may readily imagine that I was ready to excuse the crowds of women who fall in love with him. " Since then, I presume, some of his per- sonal attractions have departed. I am speaking of a.period'fourteen years ago." A Dead Secret. Lucy.—I'll tell you some news ! Wetherby Witherspoon is secretly engaged to Nina Nimbly ! Mamie—How do you know ?

Dr. Atkinson Tells Mow Lives Go Calmly Out. ' Euthanasia is a medical word which stands for the feeling of happiness imme- diately preceding death ; for it is known now that death is really a pleasureable sen- sation.- `Eveh-t enemeeting eviole,nt-death- in the jaws of wild beasts have a few moments of calm preparation before dying, which bring relief and a certain degree of satisfaction. The pleasures of dying ,can only be likened to those of the dreamy morphine -eater, who gradually passes off into a semi-conscious state, where every- thing seems like floating visions of bliss. The body and nerves are numb, and the ex- cited, overwrought brain becomes quiet and unexcited. The imagination plays fancifully with blissful pictures, arid the whole con - di on of the nervous system is of pleasur- able exaltation. The drowning man experiences the same relief and pleasure when the struggles are over and the cold limbs grow stiff and numb, writes Dr. Atkinson in the Yankee Blgzle. Persons frozen in blinding snowstorms have reported their sensations accurately, and they all agree that after a certain amount of suffer- ing they enter intoa blissful state from which they do not wish to be roused. Morphine, cocaine, ether and laudanum bring to the patient this same mental and nervous con- dition, and patients resent any, attempt to rouse them from their dreamy state. Nature provides her own anesthetic before the important moment has arrived. Before the death rattle is heard the convulsed frame relaxes, the . signs of pain and suffering on the face disappear, and often a smile partly opens the lips. The. whole body shows signs of a painless momenta and if the mind wanders and the tongue utters words they are all of pleasure and joy. Those who have watched ati hundreds of deathbeds have noted that death was easy, and officers in battles have testified that the last moments of dying soldiers were pain- less oiies. People who have been in the jaws of wild beasts in India, and have been rescued at the last moment, testify that a numbing calmness was experienced after the sharp, painful snap of the teeth upon them. In fact the approach of every creature's fate brings with it a kindly preparation when life is blissful and full of pleasure. The last sensation in this world is, then, one of joy and not excruciating pain. ' Ingalls on Christ. " Do yofie know that of all the things that ere written in the New Testament all that Christ himself said would make a very few pages of ordinary-print,"said ex -Senator Ingalls. " I have often thought His sayings ought to be printed by themselves. Christ was the greatest man that hat ever lived. Although all this time has elapsed since his crucifixion liis followers now number millions, and men would sacrifice their lives for their faith in Him. Christ had. also to dear with political questions. • I think his reply to the Pharisees when they sought to trap him was very adroit. "They asked him if it was lawful to give tribute unto Cesar. He told them to bring him a penny. ' Whose image and . super- scription is this ?' he said. ` C esar's,' they answered. ' Then,' said he, `render unto Cwusar the things which are Cresar's, and unto God the things that are God's." " No more diplomatic answer could have been made," continued Ingalls. " Christ was really crucified on political grounds.. The Jews were afraid that he wouldbecome their temporal king."—Kansas City Star.. —" Jane is married, then ! " " Yes."

Felons and Their Faces. Some surprise is expressed that the pub- lished portraits of the murderer Deeming show him to be a man of honest and even benevolent appearance. There seems to be no good reason, however, why an expert criminal should have the hang -dog look of a thief or the hardened face of a petty male- factor. Detectives nowadays place less re- liance than ever before on the convicting testimony of a suspected crirpinal's physi- ognomy. The " blush of guilt," the " thief's eye," and other signs once ,regarded as in- criminating, have gone the way of other myths. It is the mild-mannered man who scuttles ships, and it is the smiling rogue who does the great deeds of villainy—a fact which Shakespeare knew as well as the modern detectives. A glairce at the faces of America's great bank burglars, confi- dence men and counterfeiters, as shown in Inspector Byrne's book, easily proves that Deeming's face is no exception to the rule Qf noted criminals possessing the features of innocence and respectability.—N.

" They pay $3,000 a year to the soprano of the choir." People Should Not Sleep Together. Persons often ask : " Is it healthful for two persons to sleep in the same bed ?" This same question is varied thus : "Is it healthful, for an aged and a very young per- son to sleep together ? If not, which suffers more, the aged or the young person ? We have often answered these questions by say- ing no to the first question. It is always un- healthful for two persons to sleep together in the same bed and under the same covers. The air under the bed covers immediately surrounding the body of the sleeper is ex- ceedingly impure, becoming more and more impregnated with poisonous substances' escaping through the excretory glands of the skin from the moment the person retires until he arises. The odor df the bedclothing, after having been occupied for a night is often positively offensive to the nostrils of a person with an unimpaired sense of smell= especially one who has just come in from outdoors,• where the fresh, pure air has been breathed. The poisonous charactor of this under -the -bedclothes air would be somewhat more likely to affect the susceptible constitution of a child than that of an adult. In elderly persons the amount of the impurities in the air sur- rounding the sleeper must be greater than in younger persons ;, consequently, wnile both persons would be more or less injured, the proportion of harm would doubtless be greater to the young person than to the person of more advanced years. Mr. Treves, of the London Hospital, has called attention to the fact that wounds, especially of the lower limbs, heal much sooner when exposed to the open air, instead of being covered by bedclothing. He. remarks that the air under the beeiclothing is foul and almost hot, and hence likely to be very harmful to wounds with which it may come in contact.—Good Health. —In a Massachusetts court the rule'. has been established that any woman divorced there must keep her husband's harne.

Henrion; the French savant, got his data for the curi- ous speculations he gives as to the height and other proportions of Adam and Eve. In his remarkable work, " The Degeneration of the Human Race," published in 1718, the learned academician gravely informs his readers that "Adam was 123 feet and 9 inches in height, 'while his disobedient con- sort was bet a paltry 118 feet from the sole of the foot to the crown of the head." Of course all who have read very extensively of Talmudic literature, or even Baring- Gould's "Legends of the Patriarchs andPro- phets," remember the wonderful stories told of how Adam was made ; of his gigantic size, and how, after the fall, his°stature was reduced by 'several miles by the offiended God himself. The Talmud has this to say oi Adam's height : " He was so tall that he stood, with his feet on earth • and head in heaven until after God pressed him down at the time of the fall." Rabbi Jhuda says that when he lay on the earth " his body completely covered it." . Another Talmudic story says : " To judge how long he was, understand that his body stretched from cue end of the earth to the other, and it takes a man 500 years to walk that dis- tance. * * " The angels . were awed with wonder when they saw that gigantic human being, and bowed Before him crying, Holy, holy, holy.' Then God reduced his size by cutting off great chunks of flesh." These are all absurd legendary stories, of course ; but ,where did Henrion get his figures for the 123 -foot calculation mon- tioned in the opening ?—St. Louis Republic.
