NOTES AND QUERIES.

We kuow-that is, this anrotator knows
very rich banker who got his start III the
early DAYS of California making and peddllng
lemon syrup His was weil-dlrecteo INDUS
try. The DAYS were hot, lemons were not to
be had at any price, the water "as muddy and
warm, and the syrup was godsend We be-
liava in the doctrine of the survival Of the
f+test Here was man who knew the wants
nj mis- fellow man, who had the industry to
strive and meet that want and the enterprise
to make his venture a success. And when
one thinks of the grateful favor Of that acid
ulous and mountaineering drink, served up
for the relief and delectation of the thirsty
multitude, it is to be admitted that lemon
syrup is as good place from which to start
career which shall lead on to golden syrup
and other and mora substantial things aurlt-
erous as any other and even more presen-
tious thing. Yesterday--in the absence OF
other and more satisfactory potables OF
light and refreshing nature-would have been
8 good day from which to start the basis OF a
fortune with the assistance Of little lemon
aid We note that it is SO very hot IN
and about the pews and pulpits, choirs and
chancels, vestries and vestibules Of our places
of worship that at least two of the societies
confess themselves roasted out. Thus Parson
McC!ain has gone to Hope Valley, while Par
sons Kelly and Foote have betaken them
solves to the outrageous shades and refresh
ING atmosphere of Lake Tahoe. Gle giveth
his beloved rest. We hope that He will also
give them = renewal of health and recuper
alton of bodily vigor; also that he will inject
into their intellectual fabric the stuff out OF
which they may weave for the benefit Of their
hearers such stock and store Of winter SER
mons as shall not give their beloved crest
In short We hope these good men, finding the
revivifying principles of nature and drinking
deep thereof, may return to their hocks pre-
pared 10 give Satan and his associates, heirs
and assigns such vigorous heaving up and
setting down as shall cause that troublesome
parsonage to return to Reno or some other
fitting abode $500 While certain scribe was
purchasing his first watermelon in this year
which so auspiciously begins new
century of the Republic, he noted
that the Perasich establishment, (Which
has lately been much renovated by
paint and other cleansing and beautifying
processes), had been having their delivery
wagon newly painted and striped and
vanished Now some people have learned,
in dauhy way, what good painting OF the
mechanical sort is, and they know it when
they see it; and SO il is to be said that the
rough-stuHIng and body painting and stripping
and scroll-work ON that reconstructed wagon
are by far the best ever done in these parts.
It is the work OF workman-a man who is
mechanic Of the well trained and not the
picked up sort; and it is with pleasure that
the MoRNING APPEAL learns and thus COM
lnunioates the fact that that work was done
by journeyman carriage painter at Mr.. W.
D. Torreyson's shop. Such work is done no
better anywhere, and So it deserves mention
rs marking one of the ways Of progress in
these new settlements. The prospective
fortune of the average dwellor in this vale
which reposes 50 calmly under the crest OF the
towering Sierra is not SO near an Illusion as
it was ere yet the bubble of stocks had col
lapsed and caused wide, disastrous fatten
ing al along the line of anticipation. Also
there is still heard upon the complaining air
some weak murmurs OF hard times; but in q
general way there seems q most gratifying
exemption from want and suffering. The
fever has gone by, mostly, if not wholly; and
imaginary and theoretical opulence is not as
il was; but the solid comforts of life and hope
and good cheer, these seen not to be impaired,
but are strengthened, rather.

How the boy is handed down to the man
and the man back to the boy again! Mother
Goose lasts through all ages and asserts her
self now as decidedly as she did in the nursery
days when Ethered the Unready wore his
bib and tucker and Athelstane beat his
cradle with his silver mug. See the young
sters play Tag" and hear EN- recite their
"all savings round" Its just as it was at
Camelot when Arthur reigned and the boys
and GIRLS stood up and played tourney and
rnim;cked the lists and the acts and deeds of
lniohthood. Talk about the transmitted and
Ill unwritten "work" of Freemasonry,--w
is it thet transmits, all unbroken, the
gibberish Of the playground? "Eenie, meenle'
