Il menced in 1914. and has been successful
ly conducted for the last twenty years, from
that time to the present.
As many of the numbers are out of the
print and it is impossible for the Publisher
to supply back volumes from the commence
ment. it is proposed. with the January num-
Der, to begin New Series and a New Vol
ume, and while all the essential atnres of
the work will be retained. some new ones will
be adopted which il is believed will add to
the artistic and literary value of the work.
Notwithstanding the greatly increased cost
of publishing the price will still remain the
same and we trust our friends and patrons
will aid us in increasing our circulation by
inducing their friends to commence subscrip-

Cosr OF GooDs.-l'he Virginia Union
says: The war has advanced The price OF all
kinds Of goods one to three hundred per
cent in the Eastern markets. The price has
also been raised in the same proportion on
the Pacific Coast The increased price at
the East is properly attributed to the rise in
gold, causing depreciation in the currency
used there. II this is so, it follows that if
gold was the currency there the prices would
not have been increased, only SO much as
would result from increased taxation and
the unusual scarcity of few articles on
account of the war, such as cotton and sugar.
As a sequence to the above, prices should
have advanced but little on this coast, as we
use gold only for currency. Ye, they have
advanced the same here as there. Put the
Eastern prices down to the gold standard,
and we are paying fifty to one hundred and
ftlv per cent more than our Eastern friends
Are we receiving an equivalent for the sacrl'

Idiosyncracies in San Francisco.

San Francisco correspondence Of the New

Ones eyes are quickly blinded to the pc.
cularites of life in San Francisco. no
longer stare at the immense Mexican woman
who sprawls on the ground near the post
office, smoking a huge cigar and stretching
out her hands for aims no longer pause
to gaze on the gray hair and benign and
noble face of"Uncle Freddy Coombs," who.
with the 1ckering light Of insanity in bis
eyes, goes about in full Continental costume,
with neat buckskin breeches, coat and vest,
tasseed boots and three-cornered hat, the
very picture of one Of our revolutionary no,
bemen. Nor do stop on meeting his less
attractive rival. AS untidv as Uncle Fred Is
neat, "the Emperor Norton, the King of all
the Chinese" who issues pompous procama'
tons in English, himself an European, with
more hair on the end of bis nose than all
Cbinadom has on its chin, who goes about
in filthy regimentals, with immense epaule's,
Juggling what John Bunvan would surely
accept as "a grievous crab tree cudgel." The

we outside barbarians are permitted to see,
girls from II to IA years old, rocking along
on their funny little shoes, with clean silk
handkerchie(s on their heads, abandoned
women all, yet seemingly with no conscious
ness of sin or shame in their eyes-he
beautiful little Chinese children, so sportive,
nquisitive, and gentle, with rich caps, crim'
son and blue, with cues Of crimson slk-the
semi.Spanish Sundays, when every hote!
runs up its flags and streamers, when an the
bands are footing, theatres open-the brown
ness Of the audience in Patt's Hall, which
looks as though one Of those great sand hills
had been inverted like huge pepperbox
over them-all these seem no longer peculiar
to one who has lived four months in San
Francisco. And time flies here, if anywhere.
The days seem to. twinkle as they pass. The
uniform temperature, the absence of any Wis.
ibe change from May Till November, make
it impossible to remember what month it is;
while these Italian Skies bright but not bla.

roundings of every sort, quicken the pbysi.

of home sickness and disappointment, one of

Girdling Grape Vines.

This operation, though often producing
remarkable results, is still Of questionable
utility. That it causes the fruit to grow
much beyond its natural size is certain, but
the quality is never improved, and usually
very much injured. The practical results Of
such an operation seems to be, to cause the
fruit TO assume the appearance of ripeness
earlier than it would otherwise, and become
so much increased in size as often to take the
prizes at horticultural shows, where the Judges
are often Influenced by appearance instead of
quality. Many dropsical cluster of grapes
has been awarded a premium over the rich,
welI-ripened cluster of the same variety,
merely because it had fine appearance.
The girding may be done at any time in
the spring after the vine starts, up to the
time the fruit is fully grown. But unless it
is done several weeks before the fruit com.
mences to ripen, it will have but little effect.
The best time to perform the operation is
just before or soon after the fruit is set The
mode Of operation is as follows: Cut away
ring Of the bark. from one fourth to one.
half inch wide, clear to the wood 1t may
be performed on old wood, or upon the young
canes when they have made foot or two of
growth, but the last years growth is prefer,
able and it should be done only on that
which you intend to prune away.
The incision is always made below the
bunch which it is desired to affect. The
lunches above the incision become much
larger than those below it; this is said to be
caused by the obstruction of the downward
flow of the sap to the roots.
The practice of girdliug the vine for the
purpose of affecting the fruit is supposed to
have been invented about the year l745, by
Col. Buchatt, of Metz, in France. For this
ho was awarded premium by the Agricull
tural Society of France. 1t was claimed
that the invention would be Of great value
in fastening the maturity of the grape, as
well as improving the quality; but it is doubt
!ul if either of these results has been obtain
