suit where it was plainly shown there was mo claim at all. The explanation was that one of the jury had slept during the hearing of the testimony another had been reprimanded by the judge for eating peanuts, and wanted to get even with him, and another carried through the argument that the defendants being agents of the Pacific railroad, and the railroad being an object of hostility, owned by non residents, while the plaintiffs were local residents it was their duty to decide for their own citizens and defend their homes. This appeal settled the case.

LOOK TO THE FRUIT.

1t is stated by some of our local orchardists
who have been taking observations of the
orchards in this vicinity quite lately, that the
pear trees are dropping their fruit rather too
freely to be satisfactory to their owners !;
that the young pears are turning black and
falling off very rapidly, and if continued much
longer at the rate they are disappearing the
crop will be very light. Also that the curl
leaf is unusually severe on the peach trees
this season, and that the growing peaches
seem to be suffering from this trouble much
more than is common. We do not wish to
sound any alarm among fruit growers, but a
pretty close observation of their trees and
fruit may not be uninstructive to them. We
have had an unusually cold season, and while
we have been encouraged to hope that our
fruit crops have escaped unframed to any
great extent. still those hopes may yet prove
unfounded. At any rate the unusual season
may afford an opportunity of obtaining
profitable hints, if it does not furnish profit
able crops.

ever before been known in this part of tie
State, and but very few orange trees, and
these young ones that had been induced by
irrigation to continue to form new and top
wood at least a month after they should have
ceased growing, have been injured. Instead
of discouraging, these facts should encourage
che planting of this beautiful tree and this
delicious fruit. Do the people of the Atlantic
and Mississippi valley States cease to plant
apple trees and peach trees, even when season
after season whole orchards are frozen SO that
not a sound tree is left standing? Not at all.
We say plant orange trees in every door
yard in the town and orange orchards in pro-
tected localities in the country. The frost is
no more likely to destroy the crop than is
the rust to destroy the wheat crop. Because
rust destroyed many wheat crops last year,
should the farmers cease to SOW wheat? Be-
cause the drought destroys every now and
then the wheat in the San Joaquin valley,
do the farmers fail to sow? The cold in Los
Angeles and San Bernardino was almost as
severe as here and the destruction to young
orange and lemon trees there was even more
disastrous than here. Will the people of
those counties give up planting their
favorite fruit trees? Certainly not. They
will rather, as we should, take lessons
of the seasons and persevere in what
they are sure will be, when properly
understood and conducted, not only very
pleasurable business, but very profitable
one We want oranges to adorn our home
gardens, and we want to pluck and eat
oranges from our own trees, and we may
have them if we will.

REALISM IN MODERN Art.

Modern taste ignores almost entirely the
old creative aesthetic, instructive and re-
ligious aspects of art, and confines itself to
bare naturalism or its counterfeit, genre
and still-life being the favorte forms. Even
the Renaissant decorative art, so richly
imaginative in details and effects, has died
out like the others. Thus it happens that
our present art, in ideas, limitations of mo-
tives and creative choice, has fallen into a
narrow mental rut, despising its old birth
right of a suggestive world OF its own, and
using nature as its servant. Instead of
being self-poised, the law giver and maker
in its own kingdom, it looks up to nature
as its master, and is vain OF Its position as
faithful Imitator and scholar or, at the
best, kind of kindergarten object teacher,
in place of being prophet and ruler in a
dominion of its own. The intellectual
gulf that separates an Albert Durer, not
to speak of Buonarotti, from Meisso-
nier is an immense one but it is the meas
ure of the distance the nineteenth century
is behind the sixteenth in the higher
phases of art.
On the other hand, it has done good SER
vice in opening mems eyes to the manifold
beauties of the natural world, and inspir-
ing them with wholesome love of it. A
few master. hands interpret it in broad,
subjective way, as the material reflection
of divine power whilst Others have
enlarged and deepened the scope of human
sympathies in depicting the less fortunate
sons of toll, and brought them into nearer
relationship to the more favored ones of
earth. Art that presents humanity In its
lowly aspects, helping forward the recog-
milton of the solidarity of human beings
as mutually self helping children of one
Father, whose bounties and blessings all
equally crave, is high as well as a fine
art. If there be less faith in modern than
in old art, there is in it an incipient con-
science that may in time guide it to great
ends. Its prevailing sentiment, however,
is purely materialistic too content to
dwell on things of time and sense in a
superficial, external style-fnding its chief
triumphs in clever paintings OF archaeology
cal details, costumes, stuffs, and the ac-
cessores that make up a brilliant or enter
tanning eye.tableau.
| do not quarrel with this, for it is a
stepping-stone to an art which shall finally
better express the idealisms, the poetry,
the faith and the facts OF humanity on a
broader loftier plane, with more of divine
truth and inspiration, than any preceding
art. We must accept the art OF the pres
ent age in its 1ncohate condition, impreg-
mated as it is with reactionary indIffer-
ence and disbelief in old faiths and ideals,
skeptical of all Observation-Disclosures, and de-
lighting in common things, vulgar some-
what and boastful, priding itself on its
dainty touch and infinite curiosity; keen,
gossip-eyed, plain-talking, panoramic art,
garrulous and parrot like, seldom vexing
its brain with the psychological or esthetI-
cal phenomena of lifeallegories or problems,
theological or otherwise, as did the old
masters. II. j. Jarves.

A DIFFERENCES. IN ORANGES.

A few weeks since we gave the substance
of the declarations of a Granger friend Of
ours, in reference to the action of some of
his Granger friends as legislators. We thinl,
perhaps our friend was somewhat too sweep
ing in his declarations, and perhaps little
too hasty in his conclusions. One thing we
do know-that some of the very best mem
bers of the present Legislature belong to the
Grange; some Of the best laws of the SEES
sion were inspired by the Grange, and some
of the worst bills introduced were prevented
from becoming laws by the votes and influ-
ence of Changers.

CALonEL IN TOMATOES. An old sub
scriber and friend writes us that cele-
brated French chemist and physician, who
has analyzed tomatoes, declares that they
contain all the elements of calomel, and be
has known them to salivate persons. She
wishes our opinion on this subject, and we
have only to say that this idea has been
going the rounds of the press for more than
80 years. 1t is a falsehood from beginning
to end. The idea that they produce saliva
tion may possibly have originated from the
fact that, eaten in large quantities by some
persons, the acid of the fruit seems to irri-
tate those parts of the mouth with which
it comes in contact. The idea that toma-
toes cause cancer is another superstition,
the outgrowth of the former notion that
tomatoes were unfit to eat. They cause
neither cancer nor salvation, and may be
eaten with IMMUNITY by most persons,
and often with great benefit. Il Herald 81

ORANGE PLANTING.

The past cold winter has worked wonders
wonders in the way of fears in the minds Of
the people in this part of the State upon the
subject Of planting orange trees. The expert
ence of the past twenty years had produced
in the minds of the people throughout the In
terror the belief that oranges were safe
kind of fruit to plant and cultivate, and
nearly everybody that had front or back
door-yard in town or city, aud almost every
farmer in the country, either had planted
few orange trees or was intending to do so
the first good opportunity. The winter of
1889 was one of the coolest that the oldest
inhabitant had ever experienced in all this
country. Many of the young orange trees
that had been planted out and cared for
too well-that is, by watering too much and
too late in the season-were killed by the
frost. Notwithstanding that older trees were
not injured in the least, and produced COED
crops of fruit the past season, and notwith-
standing younger trees that were neglected
so far as the late irrigation was concerned
seemed not to be injured and did make a
good growth last summer, still the effect of
the cold weather, it cannot be denied, was to
somewhat discourage the planting of this kind
of fruit. The winter just past has surely not
given more confidence in semi-tropical fruit
culture in this vicinity, if We may judge of
the matter by the falling off in the sale of or.
snge and lemon trees in this market. Our
nsrserymen, having confidence in the culture
and in the continued demand for trees, last
fall purchased quite heavily of these kinds
of trees, but their sales have been quite light
They believe, and so do we, that our people
have been too easily and hastily frightened in
the premises. The facts do not warrant such
timidity. The truth is that we have just
passed Through two colder winters than have
