Sugar in California

The Chinese and African sugar canes both
grow well in California. Our climate could
not DO moro fA>-os~bio co the growth OF thess
canes. There is no trouble in making sugar
from these canes. We pay two cents a
pound more for sugar here than they pay in the
East, and four cents q pound more than is
paid in Europe. Why. then, do we not make
our own sugar? Simply because there is held
over the California farmers a threat that ii
they attempted the production Of sugar their
enterprise will prove failure What is this
threat! The fact that sugar is imported into
San francisco from the Sandwich Islands free
of duty. Sugar can be produced in the Sand
witch Islands, with cheap land and cheap la
Dor, much cheaper than we can produce it.
and it can be laid down in San Fraucisco,
duty free, st a less cost than il can be laid
down in any other port in the Union paving
duty. And yet we pay more for our own
sugar than che people of the Atlantic slope
have to pay. The ability to produce and iTn-
pert it cheaply, and not the fact that if is
produced, imported and sold cheap, DESTROYS
the cultivation of sugar in california,
The reciprocity treaty with the Hawaiian
Islands mas built up monopoly in sugar that
at once prevents its production in our State
and makes sugar dearer here than in any
other part of the country. Who gets the
benefit Of the reciprocity treaty? Certainly
not the consumers of sugar, and certainly tue
agricultural interests of the State are Injured.
The production of sugar would help to digers-
ny and enrich our agriculture. VINO knows
how much sugar 1.-THE product of other eoun-
trieS) comes into San Francisco from the Ha.
waiian Islands?

The Food Supply of Europe


When whole group Of nations is increas-
ing il population and decreasing in produc.
ton it becomes serious question how to
supply the people with food. This ia the
present position Of Europe The population
of Europe is ON an average increasing $780,
600 annually. The present gram and meat
production of all the European countries falls
short of the present production of these
articles about 79S 600 tons of meat and 343.
060, COO bushels, or S, $50 900 tons, of grain.
This d. hcit represents the amount Of the pres
emit average imports of these two articles from
other countries. This deficit is equal to
about one-twelfth of the whole production,
In other words, Europe supplies her own
people with food eleven months in the year.
and buys enough TO carry them through the
other month. In the face of this fact it is
known that the msst production and grain
production are decreasing instead of Increasing.
England represents the greatest deficit com
pared to her population, but the fact that all
Europe is falling behind and cannot supply
the people with food shows that England can
not depend on a surplus from Russia, Hun
gary, Holland or Denmark to make up her
deficit, and must therefore go to another con-
tinsnt Tor 1t. Size must come to America for
3 large share OF her meat and grain over what
she produces herself. While England i.
failing In agriculture she is increasing her
commerce, and is doing the carrying trade fol
the continent. In this way she may not only
be holding her own in wealth, but actually
increasing it. England built lest year NOR.
vessels than ever before in one year-the new
tonnage being, IN round numbers, eco OOC
tons. Thus, while the United States will
make money off of Europe by her Agriculture
Englaud will make money eff of Europe by

No tender, languishing airs or loving looks
are INDUCED in by the Chuckchee lover in
need of an Amaryllis. Should man wish
to marry girl he simply asks the consent
of her father, which is generally given
without the least reluctance, as it appears
to be the desire of the parents to rid their
huts of their daughters as soon aa they pos
sibly can. Wkea the nuptial day arrives
body accompanied by the "Iyanglum
and his drum to the hut wherein dwells
the bride. The lamps are extinguished
and the ceremonies consist of an grafton,
singing and beating the drum by the
"Iyanglum," the whole performance occu-
plying about an hour. Then feastipg COM
mences. the piece de resistance st the mar
rage banquet being walrus head and brains.
When all present have gorged themselves
to repletion the newly. welded couple GO
to their hut and the knot is firmly tied.
1t is the custom among the Chuckchees to
have plurality of wives, bat the greatest
number seen by the Rodgers people at
tached to one man was five. Should q
girl refuse to marry the man who chooses
her he and his friends come to the hut and
carry her off by force. The women are
subjected to great cruelties from their hus-
bands, being kicked and beaten brutally,
their bodies presenting in many instances
livid marks and blackened bruises. They
can in no way be charged with ipfdelity to
their husbands. Instances of lapsing vir-
tue, upon being discovered, render the
woman liable to be beaten to death. The
women in many cases use different words
from the men, but having the same mean
ing. The language is uttered very fast, in
a low tone.
HOW THEY HUNT.
1t is noticeable fact that there are but
few of the natives who do not possess q
rifle, either a muzzle or breech- loader.
These they obtain from the whalers. Seal
are not only shot, but sometimes speared,
while ducks are caught by means of a long
sling made of deer sinews, with pieces of
walrus tusks tied at intervals. In this
sling the ducks get entsngled and fall on
the ice. When seal is brought home,
previous to cutting the animal up, the
women pour bucket of cold water over
the carcass, after which the animal is
skinned
With but solitary exception, there was
no exhibition of any species of violence to.
ward the crew or among themselves dur
ing the six months residence. Unless in.
famed with liquor, their phlegmatic nature
serves to dispel any angry passions and
causes them to live very peaceably. Their
behavior and kind treatment of the
Rodgers crew is certainly deserving OF
recognition at the hands Of the United
States Government. Presents of calico,
| -four, tobacco, scissors, knives and beads
could be sent to st. Lawrence bay by any
of the whaling feet leaving San Francisco
next spring.

Fairly Rains.

The rainy season is yet good way eff, but
early showers may be near at hand. In 1881
we had COED shower on the DIST of Septem-
Der. little more than month from this
date. We have had lately two or three sud.
den changes in the weather, ushered in by
cool winds and fogs Coming up the valley
from the ocean. IL is not unlikely that the
beginning of regular fail westhsr or In
dian summer may be preceded by
q rain shower. The fog clouds may
settle so low down as TO cause
leakage, and give US a foretaste of the
rainy season. The hot, scaIding sun in the
mid lie Of the day indicates moisture in
the air, which only needs favorable copdi.
tions to cause it to collect and fan ia drops.
Grain-growers will probably secure and sell
their grain early this season, and thus place
1t beyond damage; but raisin-makers have to
walt till their grapes are in proper condition
OF ripeness before they can commences opera.
tions, As the season is late so are the grapes.
aud the probability is that thare will bs a de-
msnd for fruit dryers in which to finish up
the curing of tbs rajsins after they have been
partly cured in the sun. Tn &c who propose
to make large quantities OF raisins will of
coarse be looking into this question, and pre-
pairing to be IN measure independent of the

The SMELL OF PAINr.-To get rid of
this most Objectionable odor in chamber
or living-room, slice a few onions and
put them in pail of water in the center
of the room; close the doors, leave the
window open little, and in few hours
the disagreeable smell will have almost
gone. Another method is to plunge
handful of hay into pailfni of water, and
let 1T stand in the newly. painted room over
night; this plan is also effeetual. The
foregoing have the important advantage of
being simple remedies, as the necessary
materials are always easily obtainable.
Yet another plan, bat ii is rather more
complicated; Place CRATE of lighted char.
coal On piece of flag or slate in the center
OF the room, and throw on il a handful or
two OF juniper berries shut out all venti-
iation from the room for twenty. four
hours; the doors and windows can then be
opened, when it will be found that the
nasty, sickly smell of paint has entirely
gone. The furniture may be left in the
room during the process, and none of it
Will be injured. Il Architect.

The Bartlett Pear

The Bartlett stands at the head of the long
list OF psars grown in California. Il has all
the time been the best pear for shipping be.
cause, on account of its peculiar ripening
qualities, it could be picked while quite green
and would ripen on its way to the consumer.
Row that canning fruit has come to be an ex-
tensive Industry IN the State, the Bartlett il

The cannerY in this city will use no other
kind il it can obtain the Bartlett. Those
who, in anticipation of shipping pears to the

orchards OF Bartlett pears hit the nail on the
head for the cannery business. There is an

which pears are wanted. L is one os the

A TATrooED YOUTH,

Barnum, few years ago, introduced
Captain Costentenus to the American rub
lie as an exemplfcation of the South Sea
Islanders IN the art OF tattooing the human
frame with pictures OF flowers, birds, etc.
But the work on the Greeks body pales
when compared with that shown by a
young man who stopped over in the city
an evening or two ago. on his way from
Saratoga to his home In Syracuse. His name
IS Henry Frnmell, and be is but q years
OF age. Although so young he has accord
ing TO his own story, seen considerable life

the tattooing process, which he describes
as the most painful torture ever endured.
How was it done, and by whom % was
asked by the reporter.
By the natives, and with six needles
fastened to stick. Do you see them?"
Showing the backs of his hands and
wrists There is lady's face on one
and mans on the other. Vermillion red
and indigo blue were used, being prieked
in with the needles. Now you see that the
work Is executed Just az neatly and per.
fectly as it could possibly be in the human
skin. Well, it took weeks before the de.
sign was finished, and it had to be pricked
over a number of times"
1t must have been painful"
lit was. But then mad no choice but
to submit"
Why, were you compelled to undergo
the tsttooing?"
Hardly that, but it was wiser to do
so"
How could natives execute the work
so perfectly?"
"They used designs given them by a
sailor named John Wells, who belonged to
an English vessel. Those on my wrist are
not SO perfect as on other portions of my
body"
did they tattoo you all over ~
All except small portion OF the left
leg above the ankle"
Being pressed, Frumoll modestly showed
some OF the designs on his person. On his
back, extending from shoulder to shoulder,
and from the nape of the neck downward,
was spirited illustration OF two ships in
action. Below it is a snake with protrud-
ing fapgs and scroll with Paul Jones

breast is the national coat of arms worked
on the breast of an American eagle with
pinions outspread, and the national colors
IN its beak. This covers the entire breast
from armpit to armpit, and from the throat
downward. Both arms are literally COW
cred with designs of beasts, birds and
flowers. The lower limbs are also orna-
mented, one with the Crueiixion of
Cnrist, and the other with the shamrock,
harp of Erin and ether designs. Each

AGRICULTURAL.
MATTER PREPARED SPECIALLY FOR
TIE RECORD UNION"
The United States Crops-Food supply OF
Europs-sugar in California
Early Rains.

So far as we can judge from our exchanges
and the report of the Department of Agri.
culture at Washington, the crops over the
whole country are turning out better than
was expected. Winter wheat, according tc
the returns for July, is above the average,
being 1O4, higher figure than at any time
since 1874. Spring wheat comes fully up to
the standard, 100, and, basing calculations
upon these averages, the prospect is that
the total yield may be five 1dred millions.
It was estimated that. with an average yisld
of twelve bushels to the acre. the crop would
aggregate 10000 COO bushels. The egare.
gate of 1880 was $50, $4,000 But from re.
ports of the press of later date, we find that
it is likely the average will be considerably
over twelve bushels 20 the acre, and in that
case the aggregate will be raised in proper
ton. Corn also promised well Ia July
there was an increase in area planted over
last year Of ur per cent Germ hss come for.
ward in all the corn-raising States, and prom.
ises now considerably over an average Weld.
Oats and barley were also in high condition,
and the latter reports warrant the statement
that these crops viii both be exceptionally
GOOD. Inere Is Dluch larger area IN pOta-
toes than last year, and the condition is ex-
captionslly good. We know cur own crops
are turning out at the machine considerably
better than farmers dared to anticipate. The
average OF the State may come up to Is, and
may exceed Is. bushels to the acre. The
wheat crop Of Kansas, at 20 SO bushels per
acre, is likely to give an aggregate of 80, 0l3,.
I'll bushels. From Kentucky, Missouri,
Ohio, Georgia aud Tennessee, end other
important grain growing States, the reports
are favorable. and we may safely expect a
large excess over last year for the whole
country. Prices are favorable, and should
the Egyptian diff culty continue and bring a
complication of more ccuatries, prices may
be expected to advance. When Europe is in
trouble America is called on to furnish food,
and it can be obtained nowhere else. The
farmers of the United States have a splendid
opportunity now and good prospect ahead.

SUNDAY IN EURoPE.-A benevolent cor.
respondent begs to be allowed to remind
American tourists of the inestlmable boon
conferred on their fellow. creatures by the
national habit Of not travelling on Sundays
when abroad. We have the personal tosti.
mony of proprietors of large foreign hotels
frequented by Americans to THE effect.
Take the town of DION. Many American
travellers pass through Dion weekly, and
yet so invariably is their habit of avoiding
Sunday travel that the day is, com para.
lively speaking, one of rest, not only for
the masters of hotels, but for their entire
staf-waiters, cooke, and last, but not
least, their horses. Many other OF our Sun.
day observances are coming into vogue in
France. This Sunday WORK of the post.
man is beng curtaiied. In most French
towns Row shops snd business offices are
CLOSED early on Sunday mornings, many are
Lot open at all. and little by liGtle the sum
total of Sunday toll is being diminished.
IL is gratifying to find, therefore, that while
We are initiating our French friends, or
trying TO do so, in the matter OF obtaining
Sunday recreation for all, they are copying
Us in respects equally important to the
wel-beiug of the laborious section Of the

When child is about to be born the

called into requisition. The wailing and
