Where it crosses ‘the Horseshoe: bend he Merced River and at the Ward ranch higher.up, at an eleva- of 2500 feet, it passes orchards that produce the best type of ia oranges. These orchards are the marvel of experts, be- ey are untouched by frost and produce the best of fruit at a higher altitude than anywhere else in the world. Not many Califor- penet er their golden evidence of the climate of California has hercto- fore been difficult of access. When the new line is open and r 1kes Yosemite Valley accessible to visitors in the winter as easily he summer, Eastern visitors will pass these mountain orchards in the winter months, hanging full of ripe oranges, and there will be ther indisputable revelation of the marvels of California. The statistics of the State Board of Trade show a progressive e in our export of winter vegetables. Heretofore Florida has lied upon as the source of this supply. But Florida is sub- to frost. Frequently the crops are destroyed, clear to Indian River, by severe freezing. California has no such mishaps. Our truck gardens here are in operation every day in the year, and during the winter months we can produce an unlimited supply of green peas, beans, salad plants, artichokes and the whole catalogue of table vegetables, so eagerly craved by Eastern people in their long and severe winter. This industry is evidently in its beginning here. Im- proved transportation facilities will make it one of our most impor- tant rural industries. For several years the State Board of Trade has urged the need of more attention to dairying. It/is now able to show the fruits of its work in the increase in that industry. Its progress is greatest in the counties that are increasing their irrigated areas. Alfalfa fol- lows irrigation. It is the great dairy forage. With alfalfa California P ces June butter all the year, as sweet as a nut and fragrant as a flower. Less attention is paid to cheese and that product is de- easing. For this there seems to be no good reason. - The Alpine dairymen pasture on alfalfa and produce Swiss cheese, of which we have an immense import. California can produce soundly fermented cheese equal to that made in the vale of Cheddar and the Alpine readows. We should export high cheese instead of importing it. As our dairy herds increase it is probable that more attention will be given to this branch of the industry. The report shows that half the counties in the State are affiliated with the State Board of Trade, and serves notice on the others that they can install an exhibit of their resources in its museum of the State’s resources and products, where it will be seen by 100,000 vis- itors per year, for the small sum of 50 cents a day. When the value of the advertisement is considered, neglect to use it at such low price seems to be without excuse. the asint C The Turkish Sultan expressed a willingness to apologize to two Ameri- can women whom he had thrown into jail at Constantinople.

T FALLING OUT OF LOVE AFTER MARRIAGE A OUR AMERICAN HURRY. OU are in a tremendous hurry—a fool Y hurry, an American hurry—are you not, my friend? You realize that you must gallop your very fastest, or you may fail to reach the end of your journey and the little white slab that marks it, and dear, dear! what a calamity that would be! Sometimes (in saner moments) you almost regret that you are in such a hurry, but then the thought that you might not get there if you did not hasten comes to cheer and urge you on. You get up in the morning, gulp your breakfast, rush to the train—and walt five or ten minutes for it to arrive; you rise from your seat a mile before the train rcaches the ferry, so as to hurry ‘things along—and wait till the train stops; you get on the boat with a rush—and wait for it to start; you leave your seat a half mile before the boat reaches its slip on the other side—and wait for it to get there. All these things, and a hun- dred others like unto them, you do, be- cause, being a highly reasopable being of rare intelligence, you realize that they hurry matters. You are quite a peach, are you not? At the office today you fairly make things hum in order to prepare work for | tomorrow, and tomorrow you make them whiz again in order to prepare work for day after tomorrow. And so it goes until you reach that little white stone to which I have feelingly alluded; and, in the nieantime, what you get out of it Is board, clothing and lodging—and very little more. Sometimes, in moments of reflection, you very nearly r<gret that this unavoid- able and, of course, commendable hurry leaves you practically no time to develop your mind, for at such times you have a half-formed suspicion that that unex- plored field might pay for development. Then, again, you occasionally wonder if your soul would not reward you for a lit- tle attention, But there! what is the use of either wonder or regret when you are in such a hurry that you absolutely can do nothing about {t? To the deuce with wonder? To the old scratch with regret! It is time to gallop home for dinner— standing on both the boat and train, so as to hurry them. 8o goes your life—the life that might be made valuable—my friend, and so goes the life of many another man until he reaches the little white stone and hurries no more forever; and I insist that of all the foolish and insensate fantasies, with which the gods make mad the men whom they would destroy, none is more foolish or more wildly insensate than this that is embodied in the thing we call Ameri- can Hurry—a thing that is not intelligent hurry, but only the jeering, gibing spec- ter of it. Calm yourself; realize that you are not hastening matters by standing on a boat or traln; attribute your dyspepsia and your broken nerves to that which really caused them, unnecessary and insane hurry—do these things, and you will be wiser and better off than you are; but, then, you will not, for—heaven be praised! —you are that creature of glory, an Amer- fcan citizen. i FAINT NOT AND FALTER NOT. Faint not and falter not. Some trophy shall be won By him who struggles onward till the race fs fully run, The trophies, they are many, and yours are not as mine— One wins o fading laurel, one gains a love divine— But each may win some prize of worth, some token of success, “ 77 May hear the commendation that his weary soul shall bless; May know the victor's ecstacy, for which the white gods plan, 1f, fainting not and falt'ring mot. he does the best he can. Faint not and falter not. The race is but a day, B {t ‘the oy wearied there 13 rest for 1t alway. And, oh, the prize that glimmers where the mists are settling down! | It repavs the dreary moments, it repays for skies that frown; For 'tls much to tell the spirit, glory-crowned and honor-starred: “I have won the victor's laurel, though the way was bleak and hard.” Doubt not a prize is waiting to bless the soul of man, If, fainting not and falt'ring not, he does the best he can. “There goes a man who made $5 on a single pair last evening.” “He doesn’t look like a poker player.” “He isn’t. He's a clergyman, you know—the one that married the pair.” “He contested his father's will.” | “What made him do so?" “Thought too much attention had been paid to the old gentleman's will in his lifetime, T suppose. | “She has the reputation of being a very remarkable woman.” “In what respect?” “Why, her husband smokes, and she never told him that she was sure he | did it to such an excess that it would be the death of him."” The bones of Sir Walter Scott turned themselves uneasily in their grave. “What's the matter?” inquired bones of his nearest neighbor. “I hear that there is a man on earth at the present time who bears my name.” “Well, what of it?” “Oh, nothing in partic—that is—well, under the circumstances, my bones seem to rest easier when they are turned.” the 1 know men, much like the birds, Sing, to make thelr joy comalete, Quite rezardiess of the words; Sing because all life fs sweet. And the crities, to a man, . Say, ‘“Ttelr singing doth appelll” But I love them better than Those Who never sing at all. . s . “My daughter sings in a church choir.” “What do you do about her disposi- tion?” g THINGS I HAVE NOTICED. It is better to know a little than to know so much that you go not know what to do with it. When an employer says he cannot find a man who properly regards his in- terests you will do well to make a few inquiries about the employer. When the elder asserts that he is a poor, fallen worm of the dust, it is best not to dispute him, for probably he knows. = Some girls really look handsome un- til you get acquainted with them. Sometimes the worst looking hen is decidedly the best when fried. It does not pay to be a hero. If one. of them is alive you never can tell when the next ball of mud will land on him, and if_he is dead, what's the use? There are more things In heaven and earth than man has dreamed of in his philosophy, but you can't make some fellows admit it. % The man who underestimates his enemy sometimes reaches a point where he feels that it would be impossible to overestimate him. | A Witk CROW.

The reason many married people grow tired of each other is that they repeatedly give themselves the sug- gestion that love between them is fad- ing. §0! alone In words, but in deeds— which are cuite as powerful in effect as words—do these unfortunates set about preparing the gulf that is to sep- arate them. Never does it occur to efther that the breach is actually being created by themselves. The law of syggestion goes on work- ing in the affairs of people whether they are conscious of it or not. The most fatal mistake any wife or hus- band can make Is to give utterance to the belief that the love of one or the other is growing cold. This statement itself comstitutés the beginning of the altered love. Thought takes form in action. The moment one asserts his fear of a changed condition or his belief in it, | that moment he establishes the possi- bility of the change. He may assert such belief through deeds instead of words, as I have said. Actions, we are told, speak louder than words. Every time a wife dons an indifferent dress, or an untidy waist; every time she is careless of the graces and courtesies; every time she neglects the little arts and charms she employed before mar- riage, she is giving herself, her hus- band and all beholders the suggestion that married love is not like the love of courtship days: and shrunk in the wearing. When she fails to praise and flatter her husband as she used to do, when she ignores his whims and hobbies, when she loses Interest in the prepa- ration of his meals, she is adding em- phasis to the impression that thelr happiness is at an end. And the husband? When he falls into slipshod, don’t-care habits: when he fails to shave oftener than every | other day; when he is careless about the make of his clothes and the color of his necktles, he, too. is setting in motion the causes that beget unhappi- ness in married life. When he forgets to say the sweet, endearing things he once insisted upon uttering a hundred times a day: when he drops the little attentive ways, the courtesles and kindnesses that made courtship so delightful and satisfying; when, in brief, he abandons the atti- ‘tude of the lover and becomes “only the husband,” he is piling up suggestions that are certain to take éffect accord- ing to thelr own kind. There is reason in woman's contention that man should be made to observe the endearments after marriage as well as be- fore. Women insist upon the daily “I love you™ because they imstinctively rec- ognize the potency there is In suggestion. They know intuitively that love should be treated as a royal guest, If his presence is desired every day; and that snubs and ' slights and indifference are certain to send him speeding elsewhere. -—_ - ANSWERS 70 QUERIES. BAND-—Subscriber, City.. A band leader says: “Before an answer can be given to the question, ‘What instruments are best suited to a band of four pleces? it would ‘be necessary to know whether the ‘band’ is for hall or for the street, whether for parade or for dance.” State what you want to know and an answer will be fur- nished. HUSBAND AND WIFE-J. B. City. The money earned by a woman before her marriage is her separate property and it remains such after her marriage to do with it just as if not married. Any ‘money she may earn while married be- comes community property. Any money or property that the wife may inherit during marriage s her personal property and not In any way controlled by the hus- band. that it has faded| > The old saw has it that “when poverty comes at the door, love flies out of the window.” It oftener happens, I belleve, that adverse suggestion drives the little god awdy. “You dom’t love me!" pouts the wife. “All your imagination!” retorts the hus- band, with a yawn. He looks at her and becomes dismally consclous of her il humeor, her unbecoming dress, her care- lessty arranged coiffure. Then hg dives for the evening papers and is lost to the world. If that wife had kept herself alert and sparkling and lovable, if she had been careful in her dress, her husband would not have found the newspapers so Inter- | esting. Om the other hand, if that hus- { band had been more attentive; if he had brought home a flower or a book, or some dear trifie—just to show her he, was think- ing of her—she would not have been ill- humored in the first place. If he had called her a pet name, told her he loved her, and commented on the new kind of dessert she made for dintr, don't you for her to smile and sparkle? Oh, it's a matter for both to consider. ‘The husband must do his part, the wife must do hers. In the aggregate, these trifing things have a tremendous influ- ence In keeping love fresh and magleal every day. There ig no reason why two people may not grow more deeply in love with each other as time goes on, instead of losing their interest. By avoiding adverse sug- gestions and datly indulging in those that foster the growth of love, this would j always Dbe possible, provided the two really loved each other in the beginning. Husbands, keep on telling your wives you love them. Tell them so every day. Wives, if you want to see love grow and thrive after marriage as before, never say or do anything that would dis- courage such growth. Thought takes form in action. Insist that love cannot die out of your lives; that it is an immeortatl force. Believe in it; trust it; encouraga it by positively asserting its existence. Think love, live love, and it will never die for you. i i £ bt it ] i H § H : rame ufllfly being a pretty’ suppose it would have been casy emough. e | J
