(or th. Tooriat But Be Moat Par Wall to Ms Tbcm Wh.ro tho Zones Are 'mry Cloao Tofothev. Take your average Californian and you will find him to be au amiable creature. Distance lends no enchant ment in his case. You have got to meet the fellow on his own soil to get thoroughly acquainted with him and learn to admire all the good traits he has stored away in his well-nourished frame. There is nothing mean or small about the average Californian, says the Chicago Herald. He lives well, sleeps well and dresses in good taste. He likes legitimate sport and is a keen critic at the theater. He doesn't nourish a throbbing love for China men, and he looks wth suspicion on bank notes and gold and silver certifi cates. He prefers to collect and pay his debts in coin, and considers a penny as a sort of tramp in our monetary sys tem. It rains in San Francisco during the winter months not every day, per haps, but possibly nine or ten times a week. Hut the average Californian doesn't appear to notice the precipita tion until he meets a friend from the east. Then he begins to apologize something after this fashion: "How do you like this country? Ever in California before? This rain is something unusual. Thursday was as clear as a bell. Sorry it is so disa greeable. Spring is quite as backward this year as some merchants I know are in their payments." Then you laugh and stoop to let the water run off your hat. "But," the average Californian will continue, "this fog in the morning means a clear afternoon. Never knew it to fail. Will you bury your beak in a glass of wine?" There is the apologetic humanitarian for you. You can find him almost anywhere in San Francisco. He knows that fogs and rainstorms are as preva lent in his town during the months Of November, December, January and February as they are in the web-footed state of Oregon. Yet when approached by the tourist he manifests the most acute astonishment at such climatic eccentricities. So thoroughly addicted is the average Californian to this harm loss and amusing form of tergiversa tion that he at once impresses you with the belief that he actually thinks he is telling the truth, and that the doleful surprise he manifests is thor oughly conscientious. Things grow very large the moment you leave the Mojave. desert, with its bristling, stunled palms and miles and miles of sage brush. Just take a ride with a Los Angeles man through the San Gabriel valley, if you doubt this assertion. Let him do the talking. He is sure to keep you thinking. This is about the way he rattles along: "Peach trees? No: that's a Drune orchard. Why, last year Mr. So-and-So gathered six thousand tons of prunes off these treeB. Why, sir, the crop was so heavy that he had to hire men to saw off the branches to pre serve the trunks of the trees. Oh, but this country is a-coming. You can't stop her. Just look at these moun tains. Tbey are fifteen miles from town and you can't touch the land for less than five hundred dollars an acre. Look at that dirt. Raise anything here. This soil is blacker than Puget sound and richer than Baldwin. It's a great country. Why, it's different from anything on earth. Here the squirrels build their nests in the ground and r&ls live in trees that shed their bark instead of their leaves. See that orchard over there? Fifteen years ago it was covered with sage brush. Now there are eighteen thou sand orange trees in that tract of land, and the fruit the wind alone blows off would pave every road and path in Golden Gate park. What do you think of our women? Not so pretty as they are in 'Frisco, eh? I will tell you why. It's the climate. Up there they have more moisture in the air and that softens the complexion. Here it's dry the year round and that is why the faces of our women look harsher. But it's a good country, isn't it? What do you think of it anyhow?" And so this man of Los Angeles will talk and talk until the sun goes down in the ocean with a sizzle. But Cali fornia has everything to brag about, and the visitor can afford to stand this good-natured hyperbole. The state is bigger than the combined area of the commonwealths of New York, Penn sylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire and Delaware. It is a thousand miles long. From the Mexican line to the boundary of Oregon the distance is as great as that which separates New York city from Chicago. It is a state where the zones are so closely wedded that the visitor may pick straw berries one moment and half an hour later enjoy a sleigh ride on the flat top of a mountain. It is a land filled with flowers, fruits and birds, and just enough snow and ice to drape in glit tering passementerie the purple peaks and savage cataracts to the north. "Discover what will destroy life," says Bulwer Lytton, "and you are s great man what will prolong it, and you are an impostor! Discover some invention in machinery that will make the rich more rich, and the poor more poor, and they will build you a statue. Discover some mystery in art that will equalize physical disparities, and they will pull down their own houses to :.tone you. Rscklra'l aralna Salle.

The Breakfast of a Rounder After a Night Out Aa Inatltatloa of Uncertain Origin Tot Familiar to AU Walter. Opinions of Physicians on the Try Ins; Mlxturo. Take six men of the world gentle men, I mean, of an all round social ex perience, who have been unfortunate enough to stay too long with their liquor once in awhile and probably five of them will tell you what is meant by the term "drunkard's breakfast," says the New York Herald. For the enlightenment of the sixth member it may be explained that a "drunkard's breakfast," so called in many swell clubs and restaurants, con sists of a salt mackerel, boiled, not broiled; a dish of milk toast, and a pot of strong, hot tea. This is a repast which is supposed to be peculiarly adapted to the stomach of a man who permitted himself to be tempted to look too promiscuously upon the wine the night before. My wife's absence from home com pelled me to take my meals at the restaurants recently. For my first breakfast I went to one of the fine hotels in the immediate neighborhood. The restaurant was chilly, and that, added to a severe cold in my head, must have given a watery appearance to my eyes and a nervous tremor to my hand as I took a seat and picked up a bill of fare. An obsequious waiter stood at hand to receive my order. I ran over the list of meats a second time, pausing, mentally, midway 'twix a steak and a chop. The waiter, noting my indecision, but utterly mis taking the spirit behind it all, stepped to my side and with perfect politeness said: "Eef I may be permit, I recom men' ze salt mackerel, wis ze meelk toast and ze tea ver' nice. It eez ze breakfast populair wis gentlemen after ze excitement of ze long night." The fellow had actuully recommend ed a drunkard's breakfast for my con dition, although as a matter of fact I hadn't taken a drink in a year and a half! Next morning I went into another restaurant near by not exactly a first class place, but an extraordinarily good second-class one where the busi ness is enormous, the cooking excel lent and the service generally satis factory. My eyes were bloodshot and watery still, the result of a neuralgic attack. The waiter, a decorous, hand some German-American, handed me the bill of fare, eyed me suspiciously, but not rudely, for an instant and then remarked in an undertone: "How would a nice 6alt mackerel, boiled, a plate of milk toast and a pot of tea suit you tins morning? That is what many of our patrons order for break fast after they have been out late. Much better than cocktails, I assure you." There was no impertinence in the man's voice or manner. He didn't dream of being intrusive. He merely thought he was doing me a friendly service in suggesting a regular brac ing "drunkard's breakfast." The same suggestion will be offered in many first-class restaurants to any man whose appearance or manner in any way excites the suspicion that he drank too much the night before. The hint is always offered politely and quietly, and only after the waiter has convinced himself that his purpose in making the suggestion will not be mis understood. And thus, in some mysterious way, it has come to be believed among res taurant waitu's that for a man who has had a long drinking bout the cor rect breakfast should consist of salt mackerel, milk toast and tea! It is an extraordinary combination, surely, and why it is peculiarly adapted to the condition of a man recovering from a spree is as mysterious as the identity of the genius who first pro posed it. A popul'ir physician who was spoken to with i i.'ence to this fad said: "Yon. 1 . inw what a 'drunkard's breakfast is. but why any man suffer ing fi'.i.i ..'fr-indulgence in drink should i'.-.; iich a meal is more than I can tell, . all mackerel is harsh, acrid, hot and irritating to an already con gested r trim.ioh. I can think of no article of food more likely to increase the digestive disorders due to drink than salt mackerel." Another physician of long practice and wide observation said: "It would be interesting to know how and with whom the 'drunkard's breakfast' origi nated. It is a ridiculous idea. None but a normal stomach in healthy con dition can digest a salt mackerel with out discomfort, or at least unpleasant reminders of its presence. It is a fish that I am very fond of, but if I eat of it even after drinking moderately it causes an attack of indigestion. My only theory of its supposed popularity as a breakfast dish for one who has taken a drop too much is this: Its salti ness excites thirst for great quantities of cold water, which is, in my opinion, of real benefit to a stomach fevered with alcoholic irritation. It enables him to drink water copiously until the stomach is cleaned and cooled, and the alcohol in his tissues becomes so di luted that it is the more easily elimi nated from his system. As for its ali mentary value in such cases, I can't see that it has any. The milk toast would be all right, but salt mackerel and tea what an insult and crime it is to force them upon a stomach al ready smarting and burning under the abuses of alcohol!" Nevertheless the "drunkard's break fast" is au institution and a fixture. If you don't believe it just go into an up-town restaurant some morning when you do not feel on particularly good terms with yourself and allow the waiter to infer from your manner that you were somewhat off the coast the night before. If that waiter is up to date and estimates you as one of kind ly spirit, he will discreetly suggest a breakfast consisting of salt mackerel, milk toast and tea. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report AC50I.UTEE.Y PURE A BARBER SHOP SURPRISE. A Fashionably Dressed Young- Lady Non ehalnntly Takes a Shave. But one of the dozen chairs in a pop ular Cincinnati barber shop was vacant about ten o'clock the other morning, when a fashionably dressed young woman entered, removed her wrap, veil and hat, handed them to the open mouthed boy, walked to, the vacant chair, sat down in it, threw her head back on the padded rest, and placed her daintily shod feet on the foot bench. "Bangs trimmed?" asked the bar ber. "Nope, shave!" she said, gazing com posedly at the ceiling. "Huh!" grunted the wonder-stricken barber. "Shave," she repeated, without wink ing, "here and here," pointing to her upper lip and to the skin in front of her ears. The barber, says the Tribune, keep ing his eyes on her all the time, tucked a towel under her chin, lathered the places she had indicated, stropped the razor and went to work. A few strokes and it was over, and when her face had been washed and powdered, she left the chair, allowed the boy to put on her wrap, adjusted her hat and veil with much deliberation, and, throwing a half dollar on the cashier's counter, walked out. The effect of this visit on the other barbers and their victims was to cause the barbers to forget, for the first time in their lives, to tell the victims that they needed shampoos, and the victims to fail to notice the cuts in their faces when the lady said "shave." The barber who shaved the pretty lady, when he recovered, said there was a fine growth of hair on her face, just enough when it got long to give the skin a slightly dark hue. "She'd been there before," he added. A Shower of Feathers. The eminent surgeon, Sir Astley Cooper, was fond of a practical joke. On one occasion ho ascended the church tower of a village in Norfolk, taking with him one of his mother's pillows, and finding the wind blowing directly to the next town, he let off handfuls of feathers until he had emptied the pillow. The local papers reported this "remarkable shower" of feathers, and offered various conject ures to account for it, and the account was copied into other papers, and was probably received as a perfectly natural occurrence. LOSSES CAUSED BY LIGHTNING. Some Interesting Figures Taken from a Work Published by tha Government. Science has been busy among the cherished beliefs regarding everyday phenomena of late years, and one by one they have been demolished and the list of vulgar errors grows smaller. An exception to this, says tho Washington News, is a little publication that has made its appearance from the publish ing house of Uncle Sam, compiled by Alexander McAdie, of the weather bureau, and containing some very in teresting facts regarding lightning and the damages and fatalities it ciuses in this country. Its primary object is to show the best methods of protection by lightning rods, but inci dentally it gives somo very unique fig ures, and shows that a few at least of the beliefs that are common to every class are well founded. Tho number of death-dealing lightning bolts that find victims in this country yearly is greater than is probably generally believed. According to figures given by Mr. McAdie there occurred in 18112 2.11 deaths by lightning, and in the year following there were 309. The statistics do not go further back than 1U90, but even this short space of time has demonstrated that the danger seems to be on the increase by extend ing over a greater portion of the year than formerly.

Addrwm, THE McCALL CO., March, April, May, June, July and Au fiusi alone chronicled fatalities. The year following September was added, and in 1892 every month from April to December provided a victim to heaven's fire. The average number of persons killed yearly by lightning is 190. A glance at the table shows that by far the greater number of fatalities occurred in June, July and August. In the eight years ending in 1893 there were 3,510 fires in the United States due to lightning, causing a to tal loss of 812,003,835. This is a rather startling statement to those who are inclined to scoff at the danger from thunderstorms. Barns, stables and granaries apparently had the greatest attraction for lightning, for during the nine years ending in 1892 2,335 build ings of that class were struck, as against 004 dwellings and 104 churches. Electric light stations and telegraph aud telephone offices seemed to have enjoyed a comparative immunity from danger from the element with which they are pervaded. In certain states there has been a marked increase in the number of lightning strokes in the past year, particularly in Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mich igan and New York. One of the most interesting results of the observations that have been made of late years regarding lightning and its freaks is that the geological as well as the topographical conditions influ ence it. According to the statistics a chalk formation is the least liable to damaging lightning, while next in or der of frequency come marl, clay, sand and loam. With regard to trees the oak is most frequently and the 'beech tho least frequently struck. Neither does it seem to have been the highest or most exposed trees that were struck, as the bolt hit in the most erratic and unexpected manner.
