HALLS JOURNAL OF HEALTH-April
number of this bright little common-sense
monthly is as interesting as it always is.
1t wastes no words in attempts at fine
writing, but speaks in a language that all
may easily understand about the thousand
and one precautions which should be OBJ
served and practiced by every person and
every family in order to guard against
sickness and preserve heavens greatest
boon, good health. The third chapter of
that quaint story, Sour Summer at Maple
wood" has the funny caption of "Still
DAZZLING in Dough-" and cursory glance
is had at almost every kind of bread that
is leavened. If every family who invests
81 in blood and thunder story paper with
horrible wood cuts would appropriate the
money to copy of the Journal they would
be much better off in mind and body at the
wears end

THE LADY's BooK.-This old family
favorite. for May, has somewhat anticipated
the traditional flowers which are wont to
adorn that month, and are doubtless feeling
sorely vexed in their homes beneath the
sod, at the manner Winter has seen proper
to violate all the acknowledged rules of
etiquet by such unheard of stay, quite
beyond fashionable hours for gentecl retir-
ing. This " lingering in the lap of Spring"
is becoming something of bore not to be
borne, if it could be got shut of. But the
Lady's Book, however, shows wholesome
disregard for Winters unreasonable stay,
and comes with Spring beauty, warmth
and sweetness; so that all that is necessary
to enjoy-in imagination-all the delights
of Spring is the May number of the Book and
an easy chair beside a good coal stove. The
storm without may rave and rustic as it
did on that memorable night in which Tam
O'Shanter came so near getting his " farm"
while Cooley will supply all the delights of
fresh violets, bright sunshine and other
treasures of the vernal season.

ported to any pat Of the world, and the
market for them is almost as illmitable as
the quantity that can be produced. AS the
local market soon becomes overstocked, it
has become necessary to cure the fruits by
various processes. This is now being done
with great success, and in short time Cal
ifornia dried fruit will be for sale in the
markets of the world.
Potatoes may be raised in all parts of the
State, and the yield is very large. No dis
ease has yet appeared among them.
Beet sugar is new product of the State.
Two sugaries are now in successful opera
ton. The sugar beet grows abundantly,
yields very heavily to the acre, and con-
tains about eight per cent of sugar. The
yield per acre is from ten to fifteen tons.
This business is very profitable and its
large extension is certain. Ramie and Jute
do very well and will soon assume consid-
cradle Importance The number of sheep
and the product of wool is steadily on the
increase, and this State bids fair soon to
produce more wool than all the other
Alfalfa, or Chile clover, as forage plant
for sheep and other stock has lessened The
cost of keeping. Alfalfa has proved to be
valuable for all kinds Of stock, and is the
most valuable addition to pasturage grasses
introduced during this century. There is
no doubt but that it would prove adapted
to many localities in the Eastern States,
especially those with mild climate like
Maryland.
The dairy is a growing and prosperous
interest. Eight million pounds Of butter
We're consumed in San Francisco alone dur
ing 1874. The dairy business is at present
mostly confined to the coast countless
From the rich grasses the COWS in this State
produce much more butter than those of
any Eastern State. Almost all the cheese
nsed is a homo production, and is mostly
preferred to Eastern. Good butter sells at
fifty cents per pound nearly all the year
round.
1t would require volume to tell half the
resources of this wonderful State. To such
of your readers as desire to know in detail
more of the agricultural resources of this
coast, and the advantages of emigration
hither, the proper places to 60 to, the time
to come, and what TO do when here, would
recommend them to subscribe to "The

The work of Withdrawing the frac-
tional currency has been commenced, and
already $780, 900 of it has been cancelled
This withdrawal will be continued until it
will cease to circulate, and silver coin will
take the place of the filthy rags. The
coinage of silver money is now going On at
the Philadelphia mint, with view to it's
substitution for the currency.

The withdrawal of fractional currency may
make change scarce, but silver will not cir
culate while it remains at premium,
which it will do till the Treasury is able to
redeem greenbacks in gold.

Since Coa7Ez climbed the mountain penk
whence he caught Ills first view Of the great
Pnciao Ocean, mems minds have been full Of
schemes for joining the two great sous which
are separated ut half-a-dozeu points between
Mexico md Now Granada only by narrow
ridges OF rock. A canal from one to tho other
would save the long md dangerous voyage
aroung Cape Horn, would mako tie discovery
OF the ice-bonnd Northwest Passage a 1nastoE
Of eyon less moment than it is now, and would
do AWAY with the present necessity Of wast-
ing money. time, and labor by unloading
westward-bound freight at Aspinwall, sending
them by rail to Panama, and there reloailing
them for the ports Of California or far
Cathay.
Several routes for the canal have been pro-
posed and English md American engineers
have mado soveral surveys. The choice now
aooms to lie between three lines, tho Nicar-
agua, the Panama, aud the Darien. The
Isthmus Of Panama Ia midway botween the
other two. The Nicaragua routo hhs boon
fully surveyed and hos been pronounced foas-
ible. It's great advantage ia that Lake Nicar-
aqua would furnish an inexhaustibsosupply Of
water. On the other hand, thore aro no good
harbors on either ocean, and the route would
be nenrly, II not quite, 200 miles long, five
timea the estimated length Of the Panama
Canal, and eevon times that of the Darien. It
