Dried Figs.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
California fig growers have materi-
ally improved the value OF their pro-
ducts this season, and the dried figs
now in market show that when or
chards OF the true Smyrna variety
are planted here the whole United
States can be supplied with supe>
rior article. The figs as dried here
are OF several varieties, chiefly, how
ever, the common California Black
and the small White Marseilles. The
latter are too small, and often over
dried the former, though free from
these faults, are apt to be too sticky.
Some lots in market are entirely tree
from this fault, showing that the
difficulty can be remedied by proper
care. Ii may be that from this
black variety the dried fig for the
million will be produced. But color
is ag ,insl it, and our growers should
devote themselves to making from

End of the World.

James nj. Swormsted has figured
it out that the world will come to an
end at midnight of November IL,
1881. He closes his wonderful pre-
diction as follows:
1t is very remarkable coincidence
that at midnight OF November IL the
stars, from which Christ will descend,
and Jupiter, the earth and the sun.
will be on direct line with each
other. The comet will, | think, come
straight from this line. The most
diretul effects viii follow its contact
with our planet Both bodies trav
cling at The rate Of more than q
thousand miles per minute, there can
but ensue the most disastrous conse-
quences. 1t will produce the most
awful earthquakes, volcanic eruption,
whirlwinds and tornaloes the world
ever witnessed. The mountains will
flow down with melted lava, also
with torrents of water caused by
the melting Of accumulated snow of
GESTURES. Whole cities will be
swept away by these floods. Other
cities will be thrown down by great
earthquakes, and still others VIII be
thrown down by toruadves and whlrl
winds. Many others will be des-
trOyed by fire and birthstone, like |
Sodom and Gomorah.
