The convention admits that unrestrained debris is injurious and this of course admits of no dispute. They contend, however, that 1e hydraulic process has been made responsible, not only for its s, but also Yor natural erosion and sedimentation, and that factors would still persist to the detriment of agriculture and gation whatever be the fate of hydraulic mining. The problem is a scientific one, and inasmuch as it can be solved only by trained geologists the miners’ convention has petitioned the President to invite the attention of the director of the Geological Survey to a special consideration of those portions of the valleys which are in- affected by detr It will then be possible to rightly the responsibility between the hydraulic mining upon the one hand and the natural progress of erosion and sedimentation upon the other. wn s these navi jurio itus. apportior GLISH WEDDINGS periments with a squad of United States soldiers doing heavy gymnasium work under restricted diet, Professor Chittenden of Yale concludes that most people eat too much, says the New York World. The men were worked hard in the gymnasium and gained steadily and greatly in strength ‘while they were being fed far less than the average diet. They were called the . “starvation squad,” but their photographs,taken at the close of the experiment do not look like those of starving men, rather like those of competent gymnasts. Says Professor Chittenden in his re- cently published “Physiological Econ- omy in Nutrition”: “Our results * * * Justify the conviction that the minimal protied requirements of the healthy man under ordinary conditions of life are far below the generally accepted dietary standards,’ and far below the amounts called for by the acquired tastes of the generality of mankind. The amount of proteid or albuminous food needed daily for the actual phys- fological wants of the body is not mere fcod ordinarily consumed by the aver- age man. Body weight (when once adjusted to the new level), health, strength, mental and physical vigor and endurance can be maintained with at least one-half of the proteid food ordinarily consumed.” Proteids are the chemical elements that most people get by a meat diet, though beans, peas and some other vegetables are also strong in proteids. Eat less meat is the practical equiva- lent of Professor Chittenden's advice. It has often been noticed by ama- L — ~ - ~ — .

This novel, which is longer than usual, will be completed shortly, and then there will begin “The Brethren,” by H. Rider Haggard. This is the very latest work of the famous romanticist, and represents him at the very maturity of his virile, romantic imagination. The scene is during the Crusades. In this story Mr. Haggard has relin- shed the reins of sationalism and devoted his talents to legiti- romance, in which he has stamped himself as a master.

Clark, on Wednesday evening. The -catalogue room had been beautifully decorated for the occasion, Miss Wade and Miss Goldman of the library using a quan- tity of roses, chrysanthemums, toyon berries and smilax sent from Stockton for the event. Librarian Clark has just returned from an Eastern trip and this affair celebrated the tenth anniversary of his incumbency, and also his birth- day. The entire library staff was pres- ent, the only outsiders being Mrs. George T. Clark and Mrs. Joy Lichten- stein. Miss Emily Wade was toastmis- tress and toasts were given by Miss Weed and Miss Sawyer, with remarks by Librarian Clark concerning his trip. o e A reception will be given this after- noon and to-night by the Catholic La- dies’ Aid Soclety for the benefit of the Girls’ Home.

ARTICLES OF WAR—F., Fruitvale, Cal. The articles of war of the United States have the following sec- tions in regard to officers or men who misbehave: Article 20. Any officer or soldier who behaves with disrespect toward his commanding officer shall be pun- ished as a court-martial may direct. Article 21. Any officer or soldier who, on any pretense whatsoever, strikes his superior officer or draws or lifts up any weapon, or offers any violence against him, being in the execution of his office, or disobeys any lawful command of his superior offi- cer, shall suffer death or such other punishment as a court-martial may direct. The articles further provide that if “any soldier thinks himself wronged by any officer he may complain to the commanding officer of his regiment, who shall summon a regimental court- martial for the doing of justice to the complainant.” The army provides a remedy for every wrong, but does not permit any officer or soldier to take the law into his own hands for the purpose of punishing for an actual or fancled wrong. —_——————— Townsend's California Glace fruits in artistic fire-etched boxes. 715 Market st. and Wakelee's Drug Store, - ———— Special information supplied dally to business houses and public men by the season by Robert W.

Tpresems gives to Californians an opportunity to enhance the | interests of their State, of which they should hasten to avail themselves. There are very few families without relatives,or friends | in the East or elsewhere throughout the Union, and what gift could | be more acceptable than some article distinctively Californian in production or manufacture? Humap nature is carelessly prone to underrate the things with which it is most familiar, and it is certain that we do not sufficiently realize the interest which is almost universally evoked by objects whieh are peculiarly representative of California, whether they relate | to her fascinating history, to her products, or to the industry of her i people. To civilization at large California is the home of romance as well as the garden of the ‘world, and in selecting a Christmas of- fering which is essentially Californian we shall not only immensely enhance the pleasure which the gift will cause, but also repay to the State some of the debt for health, happiness and prosperity which we indubitably owe to her. Individual Californians have the power to promote the inter- ests of the State to a much greater extent than they usually sup- pose. Here is one of the ways in which that power can be exercised. LL “Little Italy” was in a fer- ment of excitement. From tenement to ‘tenement ran the fire of loud comment, chatter- ing volces, accompanied by the animated gesticulation which is part and parcel of the Latin's language. Fathers could ' be seen shaving, washing and even dress- ing through open doors or on the doorsteps or the fire escape balconies, those summer homes of the slums. Mothers were busy with refractory children to whom unwonted scrubbings and clean clothes were a novelty not altogether pleasant, but to be endured because of the great event that was to follow, and for which all this fuss ‘was preparatory. It was a great day. At last, in this new country beyond the seas from sun- Italy, had been granted a great :gnor by the Holy Father, Pope Pjus—no less than the coronation in a public park of the famous statue of “QOur Lady of Mt. Carmel,” with all the pomp and ceremonial, the procession of priests and prelates, so dear to the Itallan heart. “Nita! Nita} Make haste!” called a shrill voice in strenuous Italian up a flight of rickety stairs while the moth- er's fingers flew in and out of the half- braided strands of her own oily black hair, “High mass begins at 11 and it is now the half hour after 10. Father Dolan will be ill-pleased to see us enter late on this day of all days. Make haste with those tangled curls and ribbons of yours—your father has already gone with the little Pietro.” A girlish figure in a half-soiled wrap- per, her riotous brown tresses stilt un- tonched by brush or comb, appeared at the top of the stairway. Her big black eyes were suspiclously red of 1lid and heavy, as though burdened with sleep, yet held in wakefulness by the rest- less fire beneath. “I don't want to go, madre mia, she said pleadingly, yet with an in- J tinctive bracing of herself for opposi- A PRESENT FROM CALIFORNIA.

"And the people—over fifty thou- sand! Get yourself dressed this_in- stant, foolish one, for go, you shall, and at once!” The torrent of tropical objurgation di- rected with such overwhelming force position and she reluctantly turned into the tiny dark room behind her to get ready. “But T will not kneel to the Ma- donna del Carmine,” she resolved obs stinately in her turbulent little soul, Where rankled a very wicked, black thought, as she donned her best dress and scarlet kerchief and hastily twist- ed up her curls. “Did I not give to be fastened upon her robe my beauti- ful coral pin, in token of my thanks- glving that Tonio loved me? And now she has let the wicked Glulietta beguile him away—Gfulietta, who al- ready has a husband somewhere else —and my heart is full of murder! How can I bear to see him with her to-day?” There was a hard lump in her throat as she joined her mother, whose toilet had been completed on the side- walk in front of the door. They hur- ried toward the crowded church. They could scarcely edge their way through the door. Nita's jealous eyes, as she genuflected before squeezing into a crowded seat, caught a glimpse of her fickle lover across the sea of bowed heads—and also intercepted a coquet- tish smile from her hated rival In the ge' just in front of him. The sore eart of the girl quivered as though a knife had been struck into it. “I will not pray!” she said to her- self and sat bolt upright, to her mother’s scandalized disapproval. “The more boldly, now that she was listen- ing. “You could pin it on Giulietta’s dress in the crowd and the priest will think she took it—and the curse of sacrilege will be upon her!” Nita heard no more of the long mass.

Giulietta was doing penance for her supposed wickedness, discov- ered the day of the festa by the priest in charge, who had recognized and re- stored to the Madonna the coral pin she was wearing, and despite her re- fusal to confess and her protestations of innocence had imposed upon her a month’s silence and solitude in her ten- ement room.
