Tre resal is that San Francicco bears the brant of the furious birst. Throagh June, Julyand August in San Francirco, the mercury drops from, say 65 degrees in the forenoon to 53 or 54 1m ihe at- ternoon. The sea-breeze begins to come in about noon.

On the coast, this north wind, which is bot in summer bat cold in win- ter, is modified by the sea air, and the tem>er- & ure there is more uniform. The mean annual temperature at San Francisco is 56.6, which 1s se: dowm as the mean of the coast climate. ‘Washing on, nearly in the same latitude as San Francisco, has & mean of 54 or 51%, two degrees colder than the latter. Though ihe sumwers are so much colder here than at the East, the winters are siill warmer in propor- tion. But there is a wonderfal variety of cli- mate in California. Every valley has a cli- mate of iis own, and probably no more agree- at‘e and healthful climate can be found in ihe world than in some of the valleys sheltered from the rough winds and fozs of the Pacific, but yet getting enough of the flavor of the sea. breeze to temper theair.

Doubtless the figure of speech comes from the system of irrigaiing the thirsty soil in this country. It is a very common in- vitation. and the big siyle of doing things which comes down {rom ihe flash times of 49 makes expensive dr.nks the rule. ‘The current priceis 25 cenis (coin) for a drink, but you pay the same whether it is lager or champagne.

California of to-day inberits them from the flush times of the past, the times when the gold gamblers threw away money as if there was noend to it. This was the '49 fashion, the year from which everything dates in Califor- nia. The Forty-niners are the of the covntry.

The de- ecendants of the 49-ers are reckoned as of quite 6 good family as the fathers. The Forty- niners are about taking a trip Esst over the Pecificraiiroad. They have tree passes, and ‘they will be made much of. It 1s right thar they shoula be cherished, doubtless, but it 1s Very bad for California that it should be un- able to get rid of the “Foriy-nine fashion” aiter the flush times that sustained it nave gone by. ‘The Caliternians not only repudiate green. backs, but they ignore all the smaller coin.
