| ORNIA’S CHARM.

h

om East Will Miss Much,
After a Year There Is Ready
to Capitulate,

ou will not find everything in south-
A California. You will miss the wide
rétehes of green in the open places,
ar removed from the dusty cities, the
moble trees, the clear streams of water,
the blue lake nestled in among the pine-
clad mountains; you will miss that
splendid gmiracle, the change of the sea-
#sons, when your whole nature comes
{nto closer touch with the great mother
heart of nature than at any other time
4n all the year, says H. 8. Harwood, in
the World To-day. -
| Yes, you will miss much, but when
you have been here a year, when month
after month of rare and beautiful weath-
er blemd into each other, when the
#ea woos you and the flowers charm
you and the brown mountains beckon
you and the soft air soothes you, after
& year has passed you find there are
some compensations for the lovely
things you have left behind you, you
leome to realize that nature has done
more for this stretch of sea and moun-
tain girt land than she has done for any
ipther spot on the globe.
| You may have been charmed with
California when you came, you may
‘have been captivated after you had
been here a year, you may capitulate and
consent to be captured by the time two
golden summers have stolen over you.
| COLD STORAGE A BLESSING.
Regulates the Market Prices of Per
\ ishable Commodities, Especially
| in the Line of Fruit.

Few householders appreciate the
debt they owe to the cold storage Sys-
tem now so generally in use through-
out the coundry. It has become a nec-
essary adjunct to the rapidly develop-
ing commercial orcharding of the
country. It is the reservoir in which
the tempora oversupply of fruit is
placed and f 1 which it may be uni-
formly distributed throughout the
Fear. From the earliest times it has
n recognized that some provision
must be made to store up the tempor-
ary surplus and distribute it in time
greater need if an Industry is to
into permanency and stability,
and if viclent fuctuations in supply
pnd demand are to be avoided, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
{The danger of so-called overproduc-
tion is greatest in an industry when
no provision is made to equalize the
distribution of the products through-
put the year. There can be no general
overproduction when the majority of
the people of the world are still under-
supplied, and an. industry becomes
safe and attractive when man masters
fhe art of handling the temporary
oversupply and of converting it into
a steady uniform supply to an increas-
{ing number of people.

To Dispel Ennui.
The climate of the great glacier of
the Grindelwald ix the heart of the Ber-
"nese Oberland of Switzerland is an ex-
perience that every seeker after new
sensations should try, says Kathleen L.
Greig, in Four-Track News. He had
best prepare himself by resting a few
days at Interlaken. Then he may go
forth some fine morning with a jaunty
Alpine hat ‘en his head, stout boots on
his feet, a fe@ling of ennui in hig heart,
and come back minus all three. First
‘he will drive along a perfect road
through tiny villages, past rainbow-
tinted meadows full
and turbulent little streams. Then th
road becomes stedper, and the soener
about him grows savage. The valle
below begins to look very far away, th
mongter snow-capped Alps frow
above him, and at last he approaches th
great glacier of Grindelwald,

They seem to have hie same taste for

fact that in rusning down and locating
illicit stills inAhe mountain districts
the revenfyflicers are frequently aid-
ad in their York by watching the hogs,
the razordicks, sniffing the ‘mash’ for a
distance of two miles.
“Qur horses fatten on beer, and itis a
notieable fact that the onesdrinking the
mat beer can do the most hard driving.
ne horses draw the line on stale beer,
and one of them will have to be power-
ful dry in the throat before he will drink
it. But give him a bucket of fresh beer
and it will soon disappear, and he will
neigh for more. Drivers’ helpers and
horses are allowed a liberal supply of
the fluid by the company, and I would
do without my mugs before I would see
my horses go thirsty.”

SPECIAL SESSION OVER BUG.
Legislature Called to!
of Louisiana
Devise Means of Destroying
the Boll Weevil.
A little bug, almost too small for indi-
vidual notice, is taking up the time of

the Indiana legislature to be called into |
special session. This little boll weevil,
says the Baltimore Sun, seems a very
small matter to the people of the coun-
try at large, but to cotton growers its
coming is fraught with prodigious evil.
For years it has been the boast of Tex-
as that she could raise cotton enough |
to supply the world, and she did appear |
to be satisfied with raising about a third
of all the American staple. But this lit-
tle weevil crawled across the border
from Mexico and has swept the cotton
fields like a pestilence. Each year the
domain of the weevil is spreading, and
its kind is multiplying by billiens. No!
effective means has yet been found to
check the spread of the pest, and the en~
tire cotton belt is alarmed.
The Louisiana special commission has
recommended to the legislature that a
non-cotton growing belt be created
between that state and ™exas, by which
it 1s expected to starve out the weevil
and stay its further progress northward.
Already the loss by this insect is prob-
ably $25,000,000, and experts of the na-
tional and state government are doing
everything in their power to devise some
means to check this Texas terror.

FOOD VALUE OF OYSTER.

Bivalve Does Not Rank with the Cod
Haddock or Mackerel—Tipe
Blue Point,

As a matter of interest there is only
one species of oyster, ostrea virginica,
along the eastern coast of North
America, says Good Housekeeping.
€ western coast has at least five
species, but only two of these are of im-
portance, and these de not compare with
the eastern shellfish. Thus it is appar-
ent that a blue point, a Providence
river and a Chesapeake bay oyster are
one and the same thing, so far as spe-
cles is concerned. The difference is
merely a matter of environment, a dif-
ference in food supply and conditions in
growth.
The noted blue point comes from the
Lang Island shore, from what was once
a natural bed. It gets its name from
the little town of Blue Point, off which
the beds were discovered. These oys-
ters were of handsome shape and extra
appearance, and at once commanded
fancy prices. It was only a matter of
time when these and neighboring beds
would be worked out, and then it was
found necessary to resort to “seeding”
or “planting”—that is, covering the
beds with [young oysters from other lo-
/
calities.
The oyster is rich in phosphates, but is
almost entirely lacking in fatmaking,
muscle-bpiilding material and those ele-
ments which go to make up physical
force and vitality. While it is whole-
some and easily assimilated, the actual
food value of the oyster is not suffi-
cient tp rank it with our great food
fishes-J-the cod, haddock, mackerel, ete.
TREES IN CHINA.

Govepnment Sends Out Mint¥ite In-
stfuctions for Planting of Tim-
ber in the Denuded Sections.

Tiee planting in northern China 1s
beifig strnuously enjoined by the au-
thorities, not only as a productive in-
dugftry for the people, but alike as a
means of strengthening the river em-
bajnkments against floods and of check-
ing drought. Of late years, says Golden

jenny, trees have been cut down by
holesale for agricultural purposes,
hile the peasants do not take the

rouble to plant fresh ones, because the
80ll is 80 loose that they must dig down
very deep for a satisfactory foothold.
80 vast tracts of fertile land are left
f.barren, while in the northern provinces
especially the influx of sand carried by
| high winds from the Mongolian deserts

{ threatens to fill up the unoccupied
| ground.
~- 80 in the important province of
Chili, which contains the capital,
Peking, there is a government procla-
mation notifying the “Eight directions
tor tree plantation”—most minute in-
structions as to the kind of trees re-
(quired, the depth they should be plant-
,d and the fertilizers to be used and
the “Ten benefits to be derived from the
awe,” such among others, as the sale
of timber and fruit, the beneficial in-
fluence of trees in attracting rain, pre-
serving the just equilibrium of wind
