South Needed the Storm, but Sacra- mento Valley Could Have Done With a Slighter Wetting. At 11:15 yesterday rmorning the storm, which has been so long hoveriug over the city and State, let loose In all its fury. For fully three-quarters of an hour the gutters were converted into veritable tor- rents and timid pedestrians compelled to seek hasty shelter from the furious | downpour. ~ Although there has been a | iberal distribution of rain during the last | forty-eight hours, yesterday's storm | capped the climax. Since Monday night 1% inches have fallen, making the sea- sonal rainfall from July 1 to November 21 758 inches, a big difference from the small total of 2.28 inches recorded last year. The storm has distributed {its favors all over the State, being heaviest in the north. In the Sacramento Valley, while not doing any particular harm, the fail was a little too plentiful, but the farmers of the southern districts are Jubllant. A clear sky greeted Fresno yesterday morning, but at 10 o'clock hl\lfya.n ich had fallen, while at 5 p. m. .68 inch was registered. According to reports received at that hour last night the downpour was tmt starting at Winnemucca, while at 08 Angeles .46 of &n inch had fallen in twenty-four hours and It was still rain- ing. No rain was reported from Boise City and the same applies to Yuma.

Not all of it is in, but there is enough to warrant the speedy appearance | of the remainder, and before this even- | ing, unless there is another smashup on | the Southern Pacific lines. The first two | battalions of the Forty-ninth caught the | rain as they left the cars at Fourth and Townsend streets, and they took it with them out to the Presidio. The Forty- | ninth is camped In the tents of the Forty- fourth, to the right of the terminus of the Union-street cars. The regiment came West from Jeffer- | son Barracks, Mo., in three sections and | a baggage train. As usual with troops | there was a wreck, but this time it af- fected the baggage train. One horse was Infured, but he will get well again, and one car was so badly damaged that it | had to be slidetracked. Altogether five | cars were derailed. Following after | the baggage train were two sections, each carrying a battalion of the regiment. | The third battalion {s somewhere on the | way now, and it is hoped it will get in |8 to-day. The Forty-ninth is undey command of Colonel Beck. Its lfeutenant colonel s A. C. Ducat, formerly an aid on General Shafter's staff, who became well-known here in the line of his official duties.

There is more trouble over the home- Enlnx of the Tennessee Regiment. It has een announced to the men that the State will not pay their rallroad fare back home, a position which is in strong con- | trast to every other State whose volun- teers have landed here in San Franclsco. They have all pald the fares of the men. There is not a regiment of State volun- teers that has not gone home on a speclal train hired by the State to wnich they belonged, and Tennessee is the first to ask the men to give up part of their last pay to the railroads. As a consequence | there are a great many of the men who have joined with those who said they | would not go home as a body nor wonld they take part in any State demonstra- tion in thelr behalf. It looks as llmuih there will be no more than 300 of the Tennessee soldiers who will go home to- gether and parade at Nashville on their arrival. The soldiers blame the Gov ernor of the State for the condition of | affairs. | Reports irom the detention camp at | Angel Island, where the Forty-eighth Regiment is in quarantine, anouuce the presence of three cases of smallpox col tracted since the regiment was Isolated. Reports from the detention camp at the Presidlo show two cases and one suspect; who is more than probably nflccle‘ with the disease. The Ohlo will clean the Presidio out of recruits when she salls, for there is an order out that she shall take away four hundred and there is not more than two hundred and fifty at the post now.

No more common disease affects the reading public than the love of novels. If the intelligence of girls were in pro- portion to the amount of fiction they read, the future would be bright. The Indis- criminate selection of novels s what makes the situation especially bad. It is not contended that works of fiction | ghould have no place in a girl's library. On the contrary ction is a de) tment of lterature which no young person should fgnore. Dr. W. T. Harris styles it “the bait by which we create a love of reading, and it should lead out to other reading, especially in the line of sclence and history and philosoph A chid| should read much fiction, but the amount #hould be lessened as the years go by. a | A girl of 10 may read five times as many novels as works of poetry, biography, science or history. When she has reached 20 her literary taste has been poorly culti- vated if fiction forms half of what she reads. Ideals have their place no doubt in the aspirations of youth. It is not,| therefore, surprising that children readily read books that stimulate the love of the | imaginative. Thousands of persons are reached by the novelist who are too young to follow the essayist or the biographer or to appreciate the clearer vision of the poet. Undoubtedly the great writers of fiction have been valuable teachers of the masses. The good novel will culti-| vate the desire to excel in what is en- nobling. A certain class of sentimental novels present serious dangers to the minds of persons dissatisfied with their | conditions. The ‘works of fiction perused | should give a true and not a false view of life. The novel has its place because the imagination cannot be fully satisfled with history, blography, travel or even poetry. It is the abuse and not the use of fic- tion that Is at fault. The only practica- | ble plan is to regulate novel reading. There is such an abundance of good flc- tion that there is no excuse for spending time with what Is only second or third rate. Many a girl spends hours In read- Ing books which no good judge of litera- ture would ever add to ber library. It is not enough to avoid novels which stimu- late the passions, ignore or mislead the | col lence or pr t views of life that false and debasing. ] read only first-class novels Is goc but this advice is not enough. not the best kind of I men or women. Inveterate even good novels are not always wi formed. Indeed, they are often very shal- low in their estimate of human c! 2 ter. Children naturally like stories, but surely a girl should not always remain a child. Tcecream will cloy the appetite if a meal is begun with It. Better to leave it until the more substantial articles are eaten. In llke manner, the first part of one’'s leisure every day might be em- ployed in reading solid works of litera- ture. If fiction were taken up as a recreation its advantages would be more lasting. It is impossibie for a girl to love Dickens without becoming larg 1t hearted. appreciates Thackeray she wili receive thoughts of value.

It is a mistake to suppose a girl should read whatever is for the time popular. | How to Read. To know how to read Is as Important as to know what to read. read what does not interest, but mere in- terest is little good unless the intellectual and moral faculties are cultivated. Girls often read without having any purpose in view. Desultory habits are injurious to a student. Every one should be a student. To read a few pages here and few pages there, without any definite object, is a great waste of time. Some department of study should be cho. -n] have glven man poor home an in It is useless to | ‘?Mn_ if intelligent, to and a definite line followed. The read- ing habits of some persons are large.y mechanical. A book to be useful must be read in such a ner as to stimulate the brain, enlarge the understanding and inspire to noble purpose. It is foolish to devour many books without some settled plan. Uniess reflection follows, it does little good to read. Elizabeth Barrett Browning says: * err by reading too much and out of proportion to what wo think.” The gifted poetess has recom- mended concentration T is no syst tion of books, and what is read does not cu Many persons regard work. They forget that effort, self-con- trol and even hard work may be needed if mental growth is not to be stunted. There may be real enjoyment with dis- v:hylme. t is well to have regular hours for reading. 1f possible a set time should be assigned for study. With many persons this may be difficult. Every girl bas however, some opportunity for self-im- provement. Women have been known to read while waiting for the kettle to boil or while rocking the baly to sleep. Mary Somerville, authoress of “The Mechanism of the Heavens,” did much valuable work as a student, although she had also to take care of her family. Devotion to the customs of modern soclety should not be allowed to etand in the way of inteilec- tual progress. Better to decline attend- ing some of the “at home: than to be ignorant of books. Conversation is en- Joyable when there is something to talls about. A girl who knows nothing |Is very poor company.

The suggestions given in these papers have particularly in view that numerous class of girls who do not expect to follow professional pursuits The art of skipping is a_very uesirable one if wisely employed. For young per- sons it has its dangers, as It leads t» superficial reading.

ARTTHMETIC OF THE OFFICE. | Lesson No. 1—Proportion. } It is taken for granted in these lessons that the student understands the ele- mentary rules of arithmetic, inciuding fractions. erally set forth in arithmetic is best ex- ned by illustrations: | Example A. if 7 yards of cloth cost 63 | cents, find the cost of 12 yards. | If 7 yards cost 63 cents 1 yard will cost 63 or 9 cents, and 12 yards will | cost 129, or $108. Now 7 bears the same | relation (ratio) to 12 that 6 does to 108. | These two ratios, when placed together, | are called a proportion: | 7:63::12:108 | 7:12 63 : 108 Here we have two proportions. The 7 yards bears the same ratio to its price that the 12 yards bears to its price, and the 7 yards bears the same relation to the 12 yards that the price in_one instance bears to the price in the other. | Example B. If 5 men can ¢o a piece of | work in 12 days, in how many days can 6 | men do the work? | If 5 men can do the work in 12 days 1| man can do the work In 5x12, or 6, days, and 6 men can do it In one-sixth of the | time, or 10 days. Example C. If 27 $10 23, what will 32z v, 4023:275%x32% It Is necessary to divide by 2% to find the cost of 1 vard, and to multiply the quotient by 32% to find the cost of 321 | il ds.
