The fact is, it is just as natural for some persons to. blush as it is for others to turn pale. The same laws of nature which govern the one rule gov ern the other. The capillaries, or small blood vessels which connect the arteries and veins of the body, form, particularly over the cheeks, a network so fine that it is necessary to employ a microscope to distinguish : them. Ordlnatily the blood passes through these vessels In normal quantities, leaving only the natural' com plexion. But when some sudden emotion take.s possession of -the heart its action increases and an electric thrill Instantly leaps to the- cheeks. The thrill is nothing more than the rush of blood through* the invisible capillaries just beneath the del icate transparent surface of the skin. The causes that bring about this condi tion in the circulating system are called mental stimuli. They consist of joy, an ger, shame and many other emotions. ' Sudden \horror, remorse or fear, on the contrary the nerves which con trol the blood vessels, and' the face be comes white. I Blushing and pallor result from the Budden action of the mind on the ¦ nervosu system. " So If the mind be forewarned and prepared " for emotions, both habits can at least be partially over come. But when the nervous system la highly strung It would be a lifelong. It not a futile task to endeavor to effect a perfect cure. It is the. sensitive, nervous girl wtfo blushes easily, while the ¦ girl stolid by nature, or who by conventional education has her nerves under perfect control, seldom ¦ blushes.— St. James Ga zette.

Councilman Howard and Fitzgerald re quested that a statement be prepared for the future . use of the Council touching the assessments. Councilman .Wallace, in making the mo tion to deny the application, said he did so because of the City Attorney/a opinion and because the. company was doing all of Its business in this city, jle considered the assessment of $300 on Its franchise in San Francisco, to ,be a subterfuge. The water company's application to have an assessment of $147,000 on solvent credits was granted, on the ground thai the figure represented the amount in liti gation over water bills. An Item of $16, 650, money in bank, was also stricken from the » rolls. ' The assessment on the West Oakland railroad yards was reduced from $250,000 to $200,000 on real estate and from $50,000 to $40,000 on improvements. On Central Pacific property at the . foot of Broadway the assessment on real. estate was re duced from $158,000 to $100,000, and on im provements from $75,000 to $50,000. ;An.as sessment of ; $50,000 on the block signal system, was reduced to ?7BQ0. ( An assess ment of $25,000 on one-half pf a franchise on. the freight ferry : was' reduced to- $5, but a like aasesmenfc on the, harbor ferry system, with . terminus at the i foot of Broadway, was not touched. • Division Superintendent W. . S. Palmer appeared for the railroad, company. Dur ing the discussion to-night Mr. Palmer contended that the bulk of the property along the water front other than that owned by the railroad company was as sessed at one-half and, In some cases, an eighth as much as the company's hold ings. The City Council to-night, sitting as a Board of Equalization, denied tha appli catlpn of tho Contra Costa 'Water Com pany to have the assessment of J1.05O.00O on its franchises in the city of Oakland cat off the rolls. This- action was taken on an opinion filed by City Attorney Mc- Elroy, who. said: •The right to exist as a corporation 13 a franchise. The right to collect rates or compensation for the use of water l»y vir tue of the constitution is. also a franchiso and cannot be exercised except by author ity of and in the manner prescribed by law. The manner prescribed by law is set forth in article XIV, section 1, and by reason of the action of the legislative body of this city, namely, Ita Council, an ordinance was passed fixing water rates. In my opinion the Contra Costa "Water Company exercises a franchise in the city of Oakland by reason of said legislative act of said Council, authorized by the constitution of the. State of California, and said franchise is assessable by the Assessor of the city of Oakland. Cal." Oakland Office SJan Francisco Call. . ' 1118 Broadway. Aug. 19.
