Many poor in tho southern part of tlio tatj of California are intt-titcsi in a project to aJJ to this U-r,ublic by frionJly ftrcliase from !cxIco the territory of lxiwor Culifoinia. J-lr. VanJever, ono of tho KeprosontaCves of l'alifrni;t in (.'onro.s, has sui iroU'l it plan for such an annexRlion. Ho ia of tho opinion that, for tiro sum of. s.-iyVvvcnty million dollars, Mexico would "o quite willing to jiatt with Lower t'nlifornia. as it puts tho region to rtry llttlo use, and has lreiuly pran tl a larro portion of it to r.n Amtrican commercial and c.onizir.g comTvsin y. Lriwr California, has not. indeed, rentiviHl any devoiapment wtrth men tiio. under tho rule of cithTtho Span-iaT-ls or the Mexicans. It hits always be -n regarded by thorn as linost val. Bt loss, A preat part of tliis Mninsula, which t'-xtemls for more A nun wven h.mdi-od mites alonfj the rtern coast f Mexico, is mountainous, and other .parts are arid and Merile. There is. : however, on tho other Land, much iand that mipht bo rentierc-d product ivo under cnterpriinr development, and uiin'Jestionably a cerVvin wealth in minerals exists. The climate of the greater part of Lower California is fc.ai-1 to be ulte as deli'.itful and sa lubrious as that of Sii:thern Cali fornia, tuid tho occupation of to much of tho laud in tho l:tu-r Section by set t'.i iiietit Las attracted att ntion to the great peuiti-u!a to tho n.-ith ward. l'i.:t An., l icans di Lot like to ta ttle in a foreign land. Th.-T are exeu'.Ieiit colonist-., but only ulJ-i- their own . Hat,'. It is not nt all likely that citi zens of the L'liited Mates would fo-ttle in any !.i :;,'.! Lismliers ia Lower Cali fornia unless that territory w.ro mufto a part. .f this llepiiblio. Our people have no disposition to pos-vss" thenv-m-1vc of this rep ion, or of any other, for that matter, except with tho friendly consent of the power to which it is now subject. JJavin this fact iu view, it is stated that the representa tive from California named above, Mr. Vamlover, will, at tho next ses sion of Conpress, prc-wr-nt a resolution lookinpto purchase. It api. ars btranpe, beyond a doibt. that so vast a country as Lower Cali fornia should have remained for cent uries undeveloped nmlaliuiet Unsettled, if it is in leel a repion capableof profit able development; but it is to lie ro tiiem In; red that nearly nil the territory wo have acquired from Mexico, in cluding (,'a'ifornia itself. was.'racti cally an undeveloped wilderness uatil it camo under the influence of American enterprise. It is not at all prtbable that Lower California would crw Iks a second California or Toxas. It does not appear to possess more than a fraction of the natural resources of cither of those preat States. It mipht, possibly, make x. .pronisinp new Territory if it could to acquired under advantageous circumstances; but tho project will bo far more inter esting to the ieople of California than to those of any other part of tho coun try.

Is not this the question which we should och, as home-builders, ask oui-soivos? What are the things of all that we do, daily, week ly, or returninjr in their appointi time;, which are not only not ncers sary but are harmful to the true hoie life? It may 1k that tho only reaon for doing certain things is because tho preceding generation has d.isft the same thin, and that, too. ia very mcchauicjJ ways. A mother "holds her fir.st cli-ld while it sleeps ujw n her lap; it b ytiimuj accustuiued "to it. When she grows str. nger shj must lay it 3om t do necessary r ork; it frets a.T?u cries and refuses to lake its naps. The mother is worn inl in her efforts to do tho work and 'ipuet the criesi so sho carries tho cull.! about in her arms. It is slow to walk. She b.iimes nervous and irritable, toward her baby, even. Her svswd child is cris aud restless. She boars and rctrs several children. All through tbee years the mistake pursues and weat-s her out. The children are not truipht to depend upon ta-emel ves and be helpful. This mother do.- non-essential things and le;! ves tho ei?nt ial ur tloii'-. ll'.-r Mental growth tpped lor.g Jl'ro; alas for tho time when the little chil dren !;nd that motb-r can not help them in their litllo s'ljui- s, and alas for tho mother who has let tho kaowl edgi! of her gilhiHi-.l slip from lie". a:.d lias not a.idi d to it both for ho: self and family! What is luore leauliful to see than greitt so-is and di.tight.-rs asking mother's onijiioii of some point which they ar.' in douK about, which they bring o her to have set ths;l licfore tli.-y return to school? To have them hasten eagerly to toll le-r upon their return that their work was right? Sometimes it i 'through suffering only that a woman learns that there are many things which need not le done. It is often iu thee times of forced quiet that slio tees most clearly that real living js not a part of her homo life. After her cvji. rienci is gained and she htts but little strength, she can then think hat sue should do with the strength vLich still is left to Lor. Temporal wants and pleasures must Le considered, and indeed planned for. but thero aro many things done in the way cf cooking food unwhole some through its richness, which hou'.d Ixs made rarely, i' at all. Sacrifices which take away rct and loop to keep up pride in dress or omo adornment, should never be made. Let children bo ta.ight that they may have fussy clothes when they can make, iron and keep them in order. In a homo whero tho work is done by the mother and daughters, this plan "is pursued. Sho foutcu that when her daughters wero old enough to iron much-milled white dresses they pre ferred plain ones. Nothing can take tho place of neat ness and order. Theso depend much upon good management, for ono can always bo cleaning, yet never chain, always arranging, yet never in order. Sometimes one's own spirit is rest less, which is tho secret cause of the lack in the divine part of a true homo life. Paulino Adelaide Hardy, in Good Housekeeping. m CURIOUS MEDICAL CASE. . A Severe Illow on the Ileaut Trail. forme a Itoy'a t'lurarler. A distinguished physician of this city tells of a recent caso in his practice that has certain features of interest. In a household of this city thero was a boy of tweh o who possessed many ex cellent qualities, being amiable, truth ful and upright. Passing along the street ono dt.y a piece of board fell from tho Ettvond story of a Ihouso that was being built and struck him. inflict ing a wound cn his head. At.er a time the wouimI ketled and left merely a slight scar. Hut it soon aterwarda appeared thai tho boy had undergone an unaccountable change of character. Ho had become a liar and was al most brutal in Lis nature. At last tho uarenU consuhod the physician to whom we have referred and who made a tudy of tho cae. He dally suggested that the boy should bo trephined in orde- to ascertain If any injury had boor, dor e to the brain vrhen the skull was stru:. When the oper ation had been performed in tho Vicin ity tf tho sear, ii was found thi.t a split t from the i&sido of tho skull tad piorcod tho brain. Alter tho splint Lad been .carefully recaavd and the wound properly dressed the boy rapidly re covered. To tho delight of his parents, it was ihen made apparent that tb etiltrtiits which Lad been brought iau pipy by some unknvwn means had disappeared. Ho was changed again and was once more thie uiuiablo, truth ful and iipright boy lU bo bad boon before he w.u wounded. -"This case," said tho distinguished j-lrj sician who narrated tt,e facts of it.

MASKS FBEE, AD ALL ARB SLATES BK3IDK.' FRIDAY. JULY 19. 1SS9. CHILDHOOD'S MELODRAMA. Yarn-d Wivi In Which the Theatrical luitiiart Aaaert Itself. Lonely children particularly develop tho dramatizing faculty, creating com panions, as. lacking toys, they arc in genious at inventing playthings. A brotherless and sisterless four-year-old of my acquaintance, taken upon a journey, gave her fond mother some sensation, the little ono being over heard reciting te a friendly stranger the outrageous pranks. including theft, assault and battery and incen diarism, to whk-h her "big brother Peter" was addicted. As nn offset to the disgnwe of this relationship, e.he dwelt with sweet enthusiasm upon tho winning traits of her "little si-ter. Sally Pinkrr." On being qiu-siiomvl by her mo'jLer, it appeared that this hypothetic I brother and sister wt-re very di.-t-inet realities to tho solitary child. DDT for along time would she drop tbm from tho list of kinship. As a child, my record for truth-teil-ing and ingenuousness of behavior was never impeached; yet I recall instances of menial chicanery which, had they been li.udo patent, would have sufficed to raisi. grave doubts in the minds of my natural protectors whether I should not Iwcimw a jierjuror of the blackest staa ).. Well do I recall fiat dull, l aic.y afternoon when, ojen-i.ir sports beiiip out of tho question, I c:it about for some novel entertainment in-doors. I had hoard of the extraordinary del li stens which had seized upon a relative of mine while iu the delirium of a fever. I. too, would bo dliriou. see visions and talk wildly. I succeeded sc. well at this kind Of feign ing that not only . was . my ten der mother alarmed, but I myself 'm;oamo genuinely ill, unnerved by tho vividness of my own lipnients and the blood-chilling character of my own incoherent utterances. Also, I well rc momber lieing taken to tho photog rapher's, end 'the lugubrious result attending the united efiortw of the "arti.-t," my parents and myself. However exhorted to smile, tho rec ord of e:u.-h experiment showed a uni form grimness of pursed lips, saucer eyes and slightly corrugated brows. Tho "infant sphinx," as tho photo graph was afterwards known in tho family, was ofton clandestinely in sjvicted by mo with extreme delight. Before and during the ojtcralirm I had resolved that if I wero to have my picture taken I would look noble (synonymous in my mind with se vere). Thai 1 had succeeded iu my design was tho fond impression re tained for several year Be.-.ido this witness to tne tneatrical impulse in children might bo placed another portrait which was lately shown me that of a laughing-eyed, dimpling, coquettish Lata go face. Tho lady whose child-self is thus daintily memorized tells mo that tho motivo of the titter was to "look as though my sweetheart had just kissed me!" It was this same elf who, having been corrected by her mother, conceived a plan for lacerating the heart of tho In jurious parent. Her eyes being at the height of their showery fit, sho caught up a crimson-bound picture book, and bending over it, let fall upon its ad mired cover two great tear-drops, with inCnito satisfaction 'watching the spreading circles of tftain which in future years should so poignantly ro 1 roach tho maternal despot. The little red book is still extant, and I hare seen it, with its twin hieroglyphs ex pressive of 60 mucfc naivete and fineoc- Atlantic . THE DIVER'S DRESS. A ;l4earrltin Whirh Wilt tiive Itnd Lulibrni Mi! Idea oftln Outfit. If any ono has seen a diver in his submarine suit, bobbing up from the water with his glistening, immense round copper helmet, with its square, clumsy man-fish-liko canvas suit, usually stained by use and iron rust and tt.-a water to a browtish, yellow ish crnJ". something tho olor of the devil 'fish, he may at first have leen somewhat startled by the apparition.

It is well known that tho majority of women would be much stronger physically wero they out moro in the ojien air, and of no class of women is this truer than of tho housewives, many of whom do not go out of tenor than onco a week. It is impossible for any ono lo feel well confined to the hoiwe so closely, and it is not to lie wondered at when a woman complain, of feeling ill, for tho cause can gen erally bo traced to her close confine ment. During tho warm weather she should endeavor to spena some par: of tho day in tho open air, and the best way to insure this is to have something to care for outside. There are plenty of women who would never go out unless it was actually neces sary; therefore, the only way to help such people is to make it a necessity for them to go out. If j-ou have a yard at all, reserve somo part of it for a flower pardon. No matter how poor tho soil thero is always somo plant will grow in it, and, where good soil is requii-ed, it is very eknpl in theso days of fertil izers to prepare very poor soil into a medium quality at tho very least. There are a number of boautif ui flowers that may bo grown from seed, with but little caro, and be a mass of bloom tho greater part of tho warm season- By following tlio directions given on each package of seed, and choosing only those plants that are hardy, a very small space of ground will give a good deal of pleasure, also health, for there are few things as healthful as working among Cow ers. If you have an unsightly shed or fence in tho yard cover it with vinos. Tlio climbing nasturtium, morning glorj' and scarlet runner beans will grow in almost any soil, providing they can have tho sun part of tho tiny, and when in bloom make a brilliant show. They require very little care, out.-ide of a daily watering in dry weather, or by a weeding onco in awhile, and strings for their support. They well repay any labor spent on them. Tho portulacca will grow on very poor soil; tho sandier it is the better, and requires, scarcely any enro but watering and an occasional weed ing. A bed of portulaeoas looks beautiful when iu bloom, which is gen erally a lon.r time, w they b'.oom very early r.nd keep in bloom tiatil frost. Sweet nlyssum w ill grow in ordinary soil, but requires romowbat mure care than tho portulaccas.

Probability of It Complete Eahaoation Within a Century. The duration of England's coal sup ply is again a subject of discussion in that country. Tho views of Mills and Jevons on tho possible duration of tho supply attracted much attention when published many years ago, and led to tho appointment of a royal commission to ascertain, if possible, tho actual situation in tho matter. The commission made its report about eighteen j-ears ago, and, taking the j-early consumption at that time as a basis, it showed that the mines would be worked out in 3"0 years. This statement on the part of tho commis sion did much to sot tho public mind at rest. Tho discussion of the mat ter has, however, received a fresh im petus, owing to statements mado in a paper read before the lloyal Statis tical Society recently. Tho author of the pajier, a Mr. Price-Williams, mado tho point that reliance on tho coal supply lasting 3o0 years is not safe, for several reasons. As stated, tho estimated consumption was that of eighteen years ago. Since then tho domestic and foreign demand for Brit ish coal has much increased, tho for mer by 27 per cent., and tho latter by over 100 per cent. Basing his calcu lations on tho largely increased con sumption of tho past twenty years, and assuming that tho ratio of iucrea.-e in that period will bo maintained, Mr. Price-Williams estimates that all the coal in Great Britain, with the excep tion of tho Denbigh and Flint coal fields, will bo exhausted in less than 100 years. In the two centuries men tioned the supply, ho estimates, may last 250 years. Whilo this view of the English coal supply has supporters it also has opponents who consider the time given too short. The Colliery Manager, in commenting on tho esti mates given, recommends tho utmost efforts to avoid waste, and says: "Some persons may differ from Mr. Price Williams and his predecessors as to the results of their investigation. This much, however, is certain: Tho quan tity of mineral fuel we have inherited is not only a fixed quantity but an as certainable one. Every ton wo con sumo reduces our stock, and tho day must come, bo it sooner or later, when that stock will bo exhausted. We com mend Mr. Price-Williams' paper to tho thoughtful consideration of all, moro especially to that of largo consumers of coaLl' Bradstreet's. -v - Superintendent Seave. of tho Boston public schools, said in a recent address: "To what extent and how can manual training bo introduced into city graded schools?

Having seated myself tinder the star board quarter, I grasped the pail firmly between my knees, as I had seen the hireling do, and commenced to milk. No milk camo for five minutes, during wh'ch lime I worked on in silence, while the Cu j.-rkil angry mouthful of hav out o' i:io manger, ever n-:J anon lashing her tail against my hat, and looking around with a sarcastic siuiie; which, however, I protended not to notice; but at last a snowy jet shot straight into my left eye, and, in a sho: t time, another imoartcd an unnatural warmth to my lap.
