The following letter is found in the Lowlon American lb ijish r..

But to come from the mountains buck to the atmosphere of this delightful spot, let me sav. that it is kept just right for some people by a range, or spur, of lesser mountains, which rises
on
the other side of the valley, in which lies Crescenta. and interposes a barrier between this valley and the cold currents of air and the damp rivers »f fog, which in springtime, and often even in the summer, sweep in from the Pacific. For myself I like these winds from old ocean, but some ]eoplo cannot stand them. Here at Crescenta, however, the air is dry and cool, without the quantum of dampness which an oceau fog is sure to bring. Hence the sanitary conditions of a place as Crescenta are just perfect for some of the nfflicted sons and daughters of men. I found instances of persons here who had to leave such a favored climate as Los Angeles, because they suffered there from the asthma others were here because they were in the East victims to malaria and lung complaints —but here, in this dry atmosphere, the "shakes" had left those materially afllieted ones who fled from the flat woods of Indiana and the prairies of Illinois while those who, elsewhere, had

Another grand desideratum in any land is found here to perfection. I refer to the purest of water for from those scarred granite mountain aides, there start out from every nook springs of most liuipid water, which are neverfailing, so that, for the use of man and beast, there is a perpetual and healthful supply, while for the fields of barley, wheat and Indian corn, and for the orange, lemon and other orchards, there is furnished most plentiful irrigation. Vineyards of the finest raisin grapes are seen on every hand, but thev flourish best without any artificial irrigation, as in Italy and Spain. So that situation, atmosphere, soil and water make this region which constantly reminds me of the valleys of Italy a most desirable one for health and for the cultivation of the earth.
The official in the Census Bureau puzzled over this, and came to the conhav-
It was elusion that it was a mistake. and
ing in a letter made known his doubts to his deputy in this part of California, demanded a correction of the error. But with persistency and iteration the deputy replied that he had written a perfectly correct statement. Being by no means convinced the gentleman in the burean at Washington wrote back that the deputy must go to a physician and obtain a sworn certificate that the report is to "no deaths in La Crescenta for over a year." was "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth:" for, added the official of the bureau, ac

at that time. The physician, to whom application was made to corroborate the statements of the poor doubted census taker, was lJr. Briggs, and he confirmed the extraordinary fact, that here, on the slopes of the southern side of the Sierra Madre. was a community of (130 people, amontrst whom there liail not been a single death for more than a year.

Yes. and these California mountains, as 1 have intimated, are not only before us and far beyond us "in purple distance fair," but tower immediately behind us to a height of 0.000 feet. And these mountains, though of granite, are here and 'there seamed, and scarred, showing a stone as white as the granite from Maine: yet the are fairly clad in verdure, while some of their sides are velvety with the green of ever-grei oaks and sub-tropical shrubs snd planl The very summits have still some of the tall pines of a century's growth, standing out against the blue sky of California You know the fire and a Spaniard are death on trees: and the descendant of the Spaniard in California is true to the parent stock on one side, for the degenerate Spaniard, still to be found I "the remnant of Mexicans in C.alifornia. is not only a "hewer of wood" but also burner of trees. If the modern Mexican should let his Indian instincts prevail, he would let the trees grow, not with the high motive of increasing the rain )ower of the country, of promoting natural reservoirs for the soil, but for the purpose of harboring an abundance of game. The ancestors of these human I hybrids of Spaniards an.! Indians, for four generations before the "bear flag" in California was unfurled by the American pioneers, burned the woods in the valleys and on the lower hillsides to obtain pasturage for their cattle, and. too often, devastating the peculiar pine trees that clothed the great elevated ranges of this region.

Alum and Ammonia,
Above diagram was drawn and verified in all its details, bv Trof. Peter Collier, who is pre-eminent as a Chemist, and Scientist. The illustration is made in accordance with his chemical tests of each brand enumerated.
The Carbonic acid gas was calculated to get the leavening strength and the qualitative analysis to ascertain the comparative whok-someness, puritv and general usefulness of the leading l'owders. The result of l'rof. Collier's examination and test, reveals the that, with but one exception, evenbrand tested contained either Aintnonia or Alum, and a number both.
Not one woman i:i ten thousand v.ould use an Ammonia or Aluni flaking Powder if she knew it. Such Powders not only undermine the health, but ammonia imparts a sallow or blotched complexion.
NoTli.—Dr. Price's Cream Staking Powder, as shown bv Prof. Collier's examinations, is the only pure Cream Tartar Powder found free from adulteration and the highest in strength. All authorities report Dr. Price free from Ammonia, Alum, i.iiue, or any other adulterant. The puritv of this ideal Powder has never been questioned.
