Jesuits began the establishment of the missions of Lower California. With their expulsion In 1767, the Dominicans were given the work, while the Franciscans were called upon to begin on California. Father Junipero Serra, padre presidente, had founded nine missions along the Camlno Real from San Diego to San Francisco when he died in 1784. They prospered. upper STIMULANT DIURETIC TO THE KIDNEYS Co., Mfg. Chem., Buffalo, N. Y.

The result of secularization was this: "A few years to strip the establishments of everything of value and leave the lndians, who were in contemplation of law the beneficiaries of secularization, a shivering crowd of naked and, so to speak, homeless wanderers." Again: California has sncli a bag of tricks for visitors from ordinary spots. It has, for example, assorted climates at all seasons for all comers.

He was a Portuguese navigator flying the golden castles of Castile and the red lions of Leon. So the flag of Spain was the first to float over the coast. In June of 15C9 a strange ship flying the red cross of St. George swooped down on the coast of Alta California and captured Spaniards, galleons and treasure galore.

Do people think were unusual?" asked the little Bullfrogs. Well," said Mr. Bullfrog, they think when they coine to the zoo that they must see lions and tigers, elephants and camels, giraffes and all such queer creatures. They think they can see Bullfrogs almost anywhere. But the zoo people know best. They know best." What makes you say that? asked the little Bullfrogs. Because there are some of us in the zoo, and they brought us here, Mr. Bullfrog answered. They know we are interesting and have our own ways and habits just as much as tlie camels and giraffes have. In fact, he continued, and his eyes bulged more than ever as he talked, I think we have far more interesting ways than any of those animals I have mentioned."

Do you suffer backache, sharp pains, disturbing bladder irregularities? This condition is often due to a slowing up of the kidneys. The kidneys, you know, are constantly filtering the blood.

The "California war, set going by ttie hoisting of the "Bear flag, came to an end with the signing of the capitulation" of January 13, 1847. The next year saw the end of Hie Mexican war. A momentous day for California was February 2, 1848. On that day was signed tlie treaty of Guadalupe-llidal-go- , which made California safely ours And on by conquest and purchase. that day James W. Marshall picked up a nugget of gold in the raceway of the new sawmill at Colomn in tlie Sacramento valley, just built by Capt. John A. Sutter, of Sutters Fort and New Helvetia fame. At the close of the Mexican regime there was the miserable presidio and pueblo of Yerba Buena at tlie entrance to San Francisco bay, with 200 inhabitants. By the winter of 1S49-5this miserable village had become the city of San Francisco, with 50,000 people in ranvas tents, tin houses and wooden cabins, scattered all the way from the beacb to Telegraph hill and as many more on the way via the Horn, the isthmus and the overland trail. So that is what the discovery of gold at Sutters mill did for California.
