JESSE rRAxERp ORCHARD.

Uncle Jesse Is the apple king of Colo
rndo. He Ia the pioneer fruit grower of
the state, and well deserves the success and
satisfaction which is comforting him in his
old ngc.
He started his orchard many years ago,
when trees had to be brought across the
plains In wagons, the freight on them be-
Ing from fifteen to twenty cents per pound,
and the long time in transit caused large
proportion Of them to dry out and die. Two
OF .hrec times his orchard waa almost COM
pistely destroyed by grnsshoppcrs. His
friends tried to persuade him from oontin-
uancc In 30 hazardous q venture. They
were positive fruit could not be grown
here, and when he persisted against their
advice, they applied loving epithets to him,
such a .crasy old fool, "lunatic," !" and
the like, but all without avail.
He perscvercd, In spite Of all III luck and
the discouragcment OF friends. His day OF
triumph game. During the past ave years
no has been rcceiving handsome income
from his fruit.

THE PACIFIC STATES HISTORIAN.

. -
Hubert II. Bancroft was born at
Granville, Ohio, in 1882. His parents
were from New. England. Boys were
expected to work 10 those days-to
work during Summer and attend school
in the Winter. AT the age OF sixteen
Mr.. Bancroft entered the bookstore, in
Buffalo, of his brother.in. George
II. Derby, who, in 1852, sent him to
California -witfra stock of books and
stationery with which to begin business
there. Mr.. Derby died before the goods
reached San Francisco; but true to the
original purpose, Mr.. Bancroft, in 1856,
opened in Il modest way the establish
ment which in less than thirty years
was one of the largest of the kind in
the world. Shortly after beginning
business he began collecting meterial
for History of the Pacific States, by
which term is signified the western half
Of North America, from Alaska to PAN
anna, including all of Central America
and Mexico. After gathering all that
America would yield he several times
visited Europe, always with marked
success, until his collection numbered
$4,000 volumes. Then he erected brick
building specially for his library on
Valencia street, in San Francisco. easy
of access by cable cars that run from
the ferry at the foot of Market street.
But long before this he began to
write. He studied hard, and wrote
diligently. History was his aim; to
gather and preserve the experiences of
men, AMI place them in a clear, con-
densed form within the reach Of all
other men--this was his object. AS
preliminary 70 his historical series, in
1878 lie pdblished-tbe' Native Races of
the Pacific States In volumes, which
was received With universal commenda-
ton throughout the world. The most
eminent scholars of Europe and Amer.
lea were lavish in their praise of it.
Then came the History of the Pacific
States, which is indeed a series of
histories, all together covering the
entire coast, one-twelth the earth's
surface, and probablyihe greatest work
Of the kind ever undertaken by mortal

PATENTED MINES.

A very large majority of the men
who primarily developed the resources
Of our mineral territory, are men of
small means or none, whose desire and
necessity it is to find purchasers for
their discoveries, at fairly remuneratve
prices. Men of this class, remarks the
Chicago Mining Rerie,e, arc not infre-
quently the worst enemies of the in.
terests they represent. BY misrepre-
sensation, or rather by over-represen-
tation, many an intending purchaser
has been disguised and driven away
with the result of giving the camp a
bad name, throughout the limits of his
influence. Owners of prospects and
small mines, cannot be too careful to
state, in connection with the condition
and value of their properties and
camp, nothing which cannot be proved
and more than proved. Moreover so
many actual purchasers, becomingsuch
~ strangers TO the camps and their
history, have deem victimised, by in.
references and adverse claims, sub
Hequcnt.y discovered, that there is
growing disposition on the part of in.
vestors in mines. 20 purchase none but
patented property. The power to ex.
hibit the Receivers receipt for the
purchase price Of the land, is sub.
stsntial guarantee against future an,
nayance and litigation, for which
investors are willing to pay literally,
and with which, an increasing proper
zion are not willing to dispense, on any
tsrms- Certain 1t is that the prospect
or and mine owner, can get much better
prices for patented than for unpatented
property,,and it is equally certain that
it becomes gradually more difficult
to find satisfactory purchasers for
unpatsuted properly, at any price.

THE JURY SYSTEM.

Everyone agrees that the Jury system
Il not working well, but no one seems
to be able to suggest an improvement.
Al, present man who says he has
read the newspapers and has formed an
opinion is disqualified. In this re.
spect something might be done by dis
qualifying the men who don't read
the newspapers. With an intelligent
man, the opinion formed from what
he has heard or read is not fixed or
settled opinion, but can be changed if
the evidence shows different set of
facts. The facts may be the same as
at first reported, but attending circum-
stances will, frequently alter the opin-
ion of intelligent people. Every per-
son forms an opinion dependent more
or less on the truth of what has been
reported, and the more intelligent and
reasonable the person is, the more
easily will proper evidence modify
that opinion. The stupid juror, who
is eligible through his ignorance, is
ready to comesto a premature copclu.
clusion as soon as he hears the first
witness testify, and the suppression is
us liable to remain as though he
had heard the same thing outside
the courtroom. If it is changed it is
liable to be changed from right 10
wrong by an acute lawyer, expert in
distoriing evidence. There should be
some radical alterations made, and
probably one should be that Il standard
OF intelligence and information be
adopted.

Pears.

Over 1900 years ago Pliny wrote
All pears whatsoever are but heavy
meat unless boiled or baked" and it is
probable that the varieties cultivated at
that early date could hardly have been
anything but small in size and bitter in
taste. But when Pliny recorded this
famous opinion he wrote for his time,
and the idea is as little worthy of consid-
Grafton to-day as the philosophers real
knowledge of the truth at the present
day must have been limited. Pears are
regarded at the present time as among
the most wholesome and nutritious fruits.
Baking or boiling may improve them for
weak digestive organs, but eaten raw and
freely at all times they are productive of
fine blood and healthy skin. The
amount of real nutriment they contain is
hardly equal to that of apples, but the
fine and delicate juices are hardly ex-
celled by any other fruit. Pears are
coming to be regarded as one of the
staple fruit crops, and a great deal Of
attention is being paid to their culture
and marketing.

The Reckless Bee.

An experimenter in Southern agri-
culture told me the following historiette
of Northern bees in the South. He
took colony of the gratuitous honey
makers down to Florida. The first wear
they revealed, throve and stored honey
nearly all the UNMARRIED summertime.
But the second year few of the more
reflective bees evidently turned the
thing over in their minds thus: "This
country has no winter to provide
against; what is the use of laying up
honey where the flowers blossom all the
year round?" These bees exerted
enough influence among their friends to
keep good many bees from laying by
any sweet merchandise the second year
Of their exile.
But the prudential instinct so strong
in the little insect prevailed with the
majority. They evidently said to them
selves; Perhaps this has been an ex-
ceptional year. Next season may bring
cold and snow and dearth of flowers. y
SO there was quite stock of honey laid
by on the second year in spite of few
strikers. But by the third year the con-
viction had evidently entered the bee
mind that it was foolish to lay up in a
land OF eternal blossom. They made
just enough to last from day to day, and
abandoned themselves to living from
hand to mouth as recklessly as does
