During the past year 72.OO cases of
boots and shoes have BEEN received at
San Francisco from the East. The
value Of these at 800 per case is
81, 10000, and at $50 per case $780,
GOO. This enormous importation should
be entirely unnecessary. and that it is
not is surprising. We have all the raw
material needed for the manufacture of
these goods, have the home demand,
and should have the work done by and
among our own people.

So much for the vegetable market. In
the San Francisco meat, fish and game
market we reported, as We think, fairly
and fully, and did the same for the Sc
attic market. In the former we noted,
in September, 1877: Beef. mutton,
pork, quail, Jack snipe, plover, curlew,
sand pipers, reed birds. blue winged
teal, mallard, sprig tail and canvas
back, squirrels, rabbits, hare, antelope
venisOn and elk; shrimps, Holsters,
CLANS, mussels, oysters, tOm-cods, sole.
barracuda, Spanish mackerel, rock fish,
Goldfish, founders, crabs, hallbut, turtles
pompino, king fish, bass and sturgeon,
trout, smelt and eels.
In Seattle, October, 1882, we found
beef, mutton, pork. venison, grouse,
pheasants, teal mallard and sprig tail,
hare and rabbit, halibut, founder, Span
ish mackerel. rock cod, salmon, salmon
and brook trout, tOm-cOd, smelt. her.
ring. crabs, CLANS, cookies and oysters.
With this showing we think We are
justified in saying that "We really do
not see in what essential particular the
markets of San Francisco surpass those
of Seattle" We do not claim pre-emi-
hence, but it is only step for us to the
level plain of equality. and our yegets-
BILE gardeners have only to plant the
seeds of "the missing links" in the chain
of vegetables to produce every thing
mentioned in tho list of September 20,
1877, egg plant and Okra included. As
for the quail and reed birds, which San
Francisco has and We have not, we can
stand them off with fat elk or a Gin
namon bear with six inches of solldified
oil ON his ribs. Will our confrere of the
San Francisco Post make note of these

The colossal bronze statue of Wash
ington, which is to be placed in Fair
mount Park by the Society of Cincinnati
Of Philadelphia, is to have substitute
ture of granite with two great terraces.
The sides of the lower terrace are
to be covered with bronze relieves,
in which groups of animalr and
human figures larger than lis are
shown. The animals are to be typical
American beasts, and will be placed in
recumbent positions. In the midst of
the groups win be an Indian warrior and
squaw, river god and river goddess
On the upper terrace the pedestal will
stand The figures of the horse and
rider which it win support will De twice
the ordinary size. Washington will be
represented in uniform, with military
cloak thrown over the shoulder
The right hand grasps q field
glass, while the left holds the bride
rein. The sides of the bronze pedestal
will represent allegorical figures of the
troops departing for war, the return and
the blessings of peace Professor Ru-
dolph Siemering, the German sculptor,
to whom the contract for q statue was
awarded, has completed the miniature
model OF the monument, and has begun
work in Berlin upon the full-sized figure,
from which the cast will be made. The
cost when completed will be $40. 900.

Beans as Food.

The nutritive value of beans Is ver-
great-greater than almost any other
article of food in common use. Cousid-
ering their richness they are probably
the cheapest food we have. but some
what difficult of digestion, probably
owing to the fact that we rarely cook
them enough and masticate them in
sufficiently In preparing beans for the
table .hey should first be well soaked
in cold water and then thrown into boil
ing alter and cooked until of medium
ens.stency-between fluid and q
solid neither too thick nor too thin.
They require some acid on them when
eaten, and sufficient amount of salt to
render them palatable. They may be
eaten with potatoes or other vegetables
which contain more starch and less aibu-
men rather than with too much bread
or meat In Germany there Is process
patented. by which beans and all legu-
minous seeds are reduced to very fire
-four and rendered capable of being
used as food by the most delicate per-
sons. We have samples of this -four.
which equal in fnenass the best wheat
flour, and it is used extensively for
making soup for invalids. These soups
are worth hundred times as much as
beef tea There is q fortune awaiting
any one who viii prepare -four from
beans as perfect as this flour from Ger
many. Bean soup, rightly made. is ex-
ceedingiy delicious and wholesome, and
ought to be used more extensively than
it is. -SQnitdri0n.

Harmony I'm Human Life.

Our surroundings should be harmoni-
Gus with our hfe. 1t Is not necessary
to sound the same notes to produce
harmony. The word implies blending.
but it almost forbids repetition. Nat
ure is the great teacher. Her means
and ends are consistentWith each other.
Nature understands too well the art of
harmony to attempt impossibilities. She
is always up to the mark. but she does
not overstep herself. Where the soil
will not grow lilies and roses, she con-
tents herself with daisies. but left to
herself. she will always cover mans
mistakes with ca: efully spun shroud.
1t is TO learn this lesson more perfectly
that in later life we are drawn away
from mankind to live with Nature. A
fuller growth takes Place when we feel
ourselves in unison with all we see. and
when intercourse with nature restores in
us the balance that human conflict has
destroyed. Life in great cities is in
imical TO harmony. The clash of interests
is toe fierce, and those who Live much
In great centers of human effort cannot
sus ain the sense OF harmony, unless
they come away for q time The form
and manner Of modern society increase

each sentence must be cast into such q

our thoughts follow our words, and
each opinion becomes rounded and
finished off to fit into each question that
may arise. Nothing can be viewed as
whole-we are too near to its de-
tails So near are We in great cities
that it is almost impossible not to take
each detail for the whole. Then arises
Irritation. from the sense of the un-
fitness of each separate opinion ex-
pressed to bear the structure of our
whole line of thought. We have
uttered an epigram. but we have not

which society, neglectful OF the in

not afford to any one of its members.
The utterance, unfathered and without
offspring, must stand or fall by itself,
while we may be thankful if we are not

Making Adobes.

Monday morning we drove down to
see them making adobes. They make
an sacequai" by drawing the water
through ditch from the creek to where
the adobes are to be made. This water,
clay and chopped hay form the adobe
material. The workers presented pict-
uresque appearance, the red handker-
chiefs bound about their foreheads con-
trasting with then bronzed skins, gilt
ter,ng eyes and dark hair. They wore
gray-colored shirts and pants that might
have been white at the emharkation of
Noah's ark. They were rolled high
above the knees. Two of the men stood
knee-deep in the mud, with which they
loaded an oblong litter. trotting with it
to man on the hill above, who nodded
the bricks. He had hollow rectangu-
lar frame, three inches III depth and di-
vided in the center. Placing this on the
ground he filed it with mud from the
litter, smoothed the mud even at the
top, and raising the litter left two bricks
on the ground, while the two men trotted
back and again loaded the litter. After
these adobes dry on the top they are
turned sideways to harden. in the sun
At night they are carefully covered with
tarpaulin. in case of rain, which destroys
them if it falls before they are hardened.

We have all heard the Chinese
charged with infanticide. We helieve
that crime TO be less prevalent with them
than 1t is with us. If children ere over
exposed, as has been seen on q wayside
tar near Honam, we believe that bitter
want and hope that charity would
provide for the child better than the
mother could have been the moving
causes. AS gnueral rule, self-interest
acts as the strongest, bar to this vice.
That the life of the male children should
be preserved is most important, as the
Chinese law will compel the sons to
maintain their parents, and In the event
OF all the sons dying no one would be
able 10 offer that worship ut the tomb OF
the father and mother on. which their
happines tfn another state is supposed
to depend. With the girls preservation
Is almost as important, and they are
marketable commodity either as wives
or as servants. Indeed, It is no very rare
thing to see basketful of babies sent
down from Canton 70 Hong Kong for
sale Ut prices ranging from % to S5.
These are all girls. In denying the ex-
istenoe of infanticide it is necessary to
make one exception. This is among the
Tan-kia, or boat population. These are
= race of people of different descent and
religion from the Chinese. governed by
their own magistrates, and 50 looked
down upon by the other Glasses that no
child of . boat-woman can compete in
the literary examinations, or, whatever
his ability may be, become an aspirant
for Office. This class Is excessively SUI
perstitious. and we have heard 1t stated
by missionaries that when . child be-
longing to people of this class suffers
from any lingering malady. and recovery
becomes hopeless, they viii put it to
death with circumstances Of great cruel
~, believing II not 20 Be their child but
