NEW STORE FOR AN OLD FIRM.

The new building recently occupied by
Warehouse Il Lester, importers and dealers
in wagon and carriage material carriage
hardware, etc., is worthy of public notice. 1t
is situated at Nos. 30 and 81 Fremont street.
and as seen from the outside presents q fine
appearance. 1t is three stories high, besides
the basement, and as each story is from 10 to
~ feet the total height of the building from
the sidewalk must be over 50 feet The front
presents substantial and ornamental aspect,
and is well adapted to their solid and extern
sive business. The store has frontage of
45 feet 10 inches, and depth of 1877 feet 6
inches. AS decks are built over great part
OF the three stories, the amount of flooring
space must be about equal TO that of a six
story building when the basement is includ-
ed, or, in round numbers, the floor room
amounts to $1,000 square feet
When we state that this immense space is
all used, 1t conveys some idea Of the business
transacted by this firm. AS an illustration,
we learn that they carry in stock over 10000
feet OF wagon lumber, white wood, etc, 1900
sets of hubs, 100000 spOkes, $4,000 fellOes,
1000 sets of rims, and other wood stock, with
full line of carriage hardware, leather,
cloths, trimmings, and everything needed in
the manufacture of wagons and carriages.
Our space will not admit of a full or extend
ed list, but as shown 10 their finely illustrated
catalogue of 81 pages, more than 100 diff
ferent articles are fully classified
They have the exclusive agency of the
Clark Adjustable Carriage Umbrella and Sun
shades, which in many respects are superior
to carriage tops, particularly as they are
light, easily shifted" from one vehicle to an
other, cooler in hot weather, a good protec-
ton against rain, and comparatively cheap.
In connection with their Sacramento House
they have a Wheel and Body Factory aud
Machinery, which enables them ut all times
to fill on short notice all special orders in
their line.
Their new building was erected for their
special use, at cost Of $35OO0 Fitting it
up has cost them about $1,000. They have
steam elevator made at a cost of 81 900; it is
one of the best in the city, and well adapted
to the heavy work in their line.
People on this coast who have lived here
for some time know the firm SO well that
there is little need OF saying anything about
its history, except for those who recently
came to the coast The house originated
under the firm name of II. w. Bragg IL Co.,
in Sacramento in 1852. In July, 1853, C..
Warehouse became one of the proprietors,
and in 1854 j. W. Lester came into the firm.
In 1862, at the time of the great flood, the
house was established in San Francisco.
When Mr.. Bragg retired, in 1865, the firm
assumed the names of Warehouse Il Lester,
which 1t has ever since retained Parties
who are in any way interested in this class Of
trade or in general improvements in San
Francisco, will do we'll to visit this new
building and examine it for themselves.

DRILLING WHEAT.-When man tells
me he is not able to buy drill, l give
him this ilustration Mr.. A. puts in 10
acres of wheat every year. Three years
ago he bought drill of me. Before
that he sowed two and a half bushels to
the acre, since, he has used but one
bushel and half per acre. Thus in
three years he has saved, on seed alone,
thirty bushels; calling it 81 per bushel,
a very moderate estimate, he has saved
$50. He has secured much better
yield by drilling. The first year he
drilled wheat, he put his gain over
broadcast sowing at 25 bushels; the
second year, 80 bushels, and this year,
10 bushels. He gets these figures by
comparing his present crops with past
ones, and with his neighbours crops that
were sown broadcast. Here is gain in
three years of $65. Adding to this $50
saved in seed, and we have $95 gain in
three years-$l5 more than the drill cost
him, and it is good for twenty years.

THE NORTHWEST PAssAGE.-A Swed-
ish mineralogist and explorer claims to
have discovered the long lookedfor pas
sage from Europe to Asia by way of the
Polar Sea. He is q Professor, and a
member of the Jury of Award at the
Centennial Exhibition, and had previous
ly projected this Siberian trip, leaving
this country for Sweden last June for
that purpose. He sailed from Sweden in
August on his tour of discovery, and now
claims to have found an open way to the
Arctic Sea. He reports that he encoun-
tered no obstacles, and now considers
the way open from Europe to China, by
the Northern passage and the valley Of
the Tennesei river, by which river COM
munication is obtained across Siberia and
nearly to the frontier Of China. In this
newly discovered region was found an
immense area of fertile soil, all OF it fit
for immediate cultivation. This is to be
classed as the latest great geographical
discovery, the other ones relating to the
interior Of Africa.

Come to my arms, my baby!

Come to my arms, my baby!
My bonnie, beautiful girl!
For my lips are heavy with kisses sweet
For your dimpled face and your dimpled feet,
My lily, my rose my pearl!
All, have you, have you, my darling!
Sweet shall your slumber be,
The long bright night, while the starbeams
hold
Their hands with mine in your locks of gold.
And shadows are over the sea.
Soft and sweet while the night goes by
And what is the night to us?
And what if the moon go under cloud,
And what if the wind cry long and loud,
If have and hold you thus?
This is your world, my baby!
And what is the world to me,
But the pretty wee lamb that is NINE my
sweet
From the curly crown to the cunning feet?
What else is the world to me?

Sixty Millions in Diamonds.

A special meeting of the American
Geographical Society was held last even
ing to hear an account of the South At
rican republics, as given by Miss Russell,
of Pretoria, Orange Free State. Chief
Justice Daily presided, and in introduce
ing the lady said that she had spent the
greatest part of her life in the country
she proposed speaking about, and having
come to the Centennial Exhibition in its
behalf, she wished to correct some erro-
neous views current about it, due mainly
to the Misrepresentation of the British
press.
"If you will take the map of AT
rica," began Miss Russell, Cooking at the
southern portion, you will find north of
the British colonies of Cape of Good Hope
and Port Natal, lying between the Orange
and Zambesi rivers, the tract of country
occupied by the Orange Free State
and the Transvaal or South African re-
publics. These republics constitute the
richest portion of Africa. The govern
ment is republican, having a government
very much the same as your Own-the
president being elected every four years
by suffrage of the people. At this pres
ent time America is seeking about for
new markets to support her increased
manufactures. The construction of q
railway from the eastern coast into the
South African republic will develop the
mineral and agricultural wealth of the
country, and open up market which
would drain this country Of its surplus
manufacture and add tenfold to its pros
perity. This very thing is in course of
progress, and if it had not been for the
interference of foreign power the railway
would be now more than half completed.
The wealth of the republics has gone
toward enriching the commerce of Eng
land, and it would now appear that she is
no longer satisfied with this, but wants
the republics entirely.
"The people of the republics have been
represented as wishing to have British
rule. Nothing could prove better than
their history the errors OF this statement.
The Dutch colohized the Cape Of Good
Hope in the seventeenth century, and in
the course Of half u century they had es-
tablished Furnishing community. In
1906 the Cape became British colony,
and to escape from British rule body of
the Dutch resolved to move further in
land. They went to Natal, where for
awhile they were left unmolested. In
1845 the English moved northward, and,
after some resistance, the Dutch had to
cede their lands. The Beers went to the
Vaal river in search Of new homes, and
established the Orange Free State, which
ia 1s4S they again deserted when 1t was
Incorporated with Britain's dominions.
They now crossed the Vaal and founded
the Transvaal Republic. In 1855 the
English, finding the Orange Free State
nothing but burden and expense, hand
