JB i B H TIStES HAVE CHANGED. Tmes have changed considerably since Jesus vent up to Jerusalem. At that time donkeys furnished a luxu rious mode ot transit from place to place, the time consumed being prob ably regarded as of little consequence. But now the donkey's musical note is to be met by the hoarse whistle of the locomotive and the nimble and roar of the swtfUy-nioving train. There were shipped last week, by the Red Star line of steamers, three engines, built at tbe Baldwin locomotive works, for the new railroad from Jaffa to Jerusalem. This road is said to be the first one ever constructed in Palestine, and is being built by a French company for the Ot toman government. It is the first of a series to be built through Palestine and Asia Minor. The engines built at he Baldwin works are Moguls, with three pairs of California, and every one who goes in driving wheels and 2-wheel driving to the county must go into Nevada trucks in trout and S-whcel tenders, and take along and somewhat hazard They are one-meter narrow-gauge. The cylinders are 15 x 18 inches, and the driving wheels arc 41 inches in di ameter. Each engine without the ten dor weighs 29 tons, and the tender 2-1 tons. The grades of the new railroad are 2 per cent, or 105 G-10 feet per mile. ' The engines are guaranteed to haul 1G5 gross tons of cars and loads P that grade. The engines are named "Jaffa," "Jerusalem" and "Ramleh." An engineer has been sent to put them in working order. It was necessary to ' send the cugines during the summer season, as there are no facilities for ' unloading, and storms prevail in the Mediterranean during September. The cars arc being built in Belgium. A Pake physician tells the simple t ruth when he declares that most of the European spas are not adapted to Americans, because the waters and the regimen are regulated to suit over fed Euglislunen and Germans. The course which helps these men shatters the nerves of high-strung, overwoiked Americans, who generally need a diet that will add to their vitality, not one that will reduce flesh. It is the fail-1 ure to recognize this distinction which has cost so many invalids their lives. The odds are that if these peo ple had gone to some good American watering place and forgot business for a month they would have recovered their health, strength and happiness in the time it took to kill them at some fashionable, foreign, so-called health resort The total wealth of the United States exceeds that of either England or France. It is estimated at S71, 459,000,000, 50,000,000,000 and 3G, 000,000.000 respectively. According to this estimate the wealth per capita in the United States is S1.000, which is an iucrease ot 42 per cent, in the last ten years. If, as some people of communistic tendencies desire, there should be an equal distribution of wealth, how long before it would be again divided into largo and small holdings? "With human nature un changed and business and social con ditions unmodified, not many years would elapse before the rich and the poor would be on the same equal foot ing as now. Spokane has all along been con tented with the results of the census, says the Jtcciew, and now the Sound citie3 have concluded that they have done quite well, and Portland seems to be the only kicker left in the PaciGc northwest. It has never dawned upon the Oregonians that the work ot taking their census was per formed by themselves, and if it was done in a sleepy -way the fault may possibly have lain in the sleepiness of the people from whom were selected the men who took the census. Live enumerators and supervisors are found among a live people, and that's what the matter with the Oregon census. Ik the advertising columns of the London Grocers Gazette appears the announcement of the Sardine Union, Limited, a trust formed to control and operate one hundred and five ot the sardine packing establishments of France. The capital ot this trust, which it is stated will control all the factories iatFran ce with the exception ot abeat tour, is put at 1,000,000, er: $5,000,000, and the prospectus an noufices that the directors have confi dence that the company will control the entire sardine trade, a statement which is considered doubtful by those familiar with the busiuess. The record ot cures accomplished by Hood's Sarsapanlla can never be com pletely written. The peculiar curative powers of Hood's Sarsaprilla are .suc cessful when everything else has failed.

A Queer Siot in California Found by a Census Han. Colonel Fred "Y. Clemons has been telling us about tbe strangest county be ever knew. It is Alpine connty, and it is located in Central California, close to the Nevada state line. The nrrnnfv ic nlmnof TiinvAccililn frrTvi ous journey on a coacn ironi unison City. There are only about for farming in county. Mountains, all the territory "of 3,000 acres the whole occupy nearly Alpine county, and sheep-herding is the exclusive business there. The population of the county is less than 350, and of these only about 100 live in mucBj w rest iu monniam cauins, WleCTille. tlra conutv seat, where ffco population is 113. There is but I one doctor, one barber, nine profes sional gamblers, one lawyer, two onicca J one hotel iu ho colty. The count' has lost over 120 of its popniauon since issu. Colonel Clemons is employed by the United States census bureau in examining the records of the connty clerk's ofiices in order to find the j mortgaged indebtedness and the num ber of real estate transfers recorded for the past ten years. He tells us that the county clerk's oilice for Alpine county is a wooden structure about twenty feet square. The jail, which has not had a prisoner since 1SS7, is near at hand and consists of but two cells. The county clerk and the treasurer of the county is one man, and it was a whole day before he could be found to open the oilice for an inspection of "1& boks; lie said he had not opened uie onice ueiorc.ior over six weens, and lliat lie iiau no onsiuess as a county oflicial sometimes for four or five months. Col. Clemons found that since 18S0 eleven mortgages aud four teen deeds had been recorded in the county. In 1S83 and 1SSG neither a mortgage nor a deed was placed on record in the county. The county clerk and treasurer says his annual fees arc generally about 33. He wonld resign his position, but he likes the honor of his oilice.- Pomona Pro gress, July 21. HFKRY M.
