Santa Barbara's Floral rndustry
I"Ruhamah' Pin Globe Deraocratl


Looking down from any of these hillsides
and driving along the roads, ono sees patches
OF earth all white, as If snow-banks rested
there, and can hardly believe when told that
this is the way in which the great crops Of
pampas grass are prepared for the market.
In every city the florists keep lunches OF the
fluffy, feathery pampas plunes for sale, anu
it is from Santa Barbara that the chief sup
ply for the United States comes.
The origin OF this industry dates only few
years back, when a florists wife, who had
watched the great row of parlpas grass
bloom and blow away, asked that she might
gather it and sell it the next season The
shrewd woman picked her painpaS plumes,
bleached them on the ground, ard, shipping
them to a great New York scotsman, re-
ceived 81 600 as the result of her venture.
Her husband woke up after that revelation,
and the news spread, until the culture of
pampas grass has become an important
feature of the place. One of the florists has
rs tnifch as nineteen acres planted with pam
pas grass, which yields a revenue Of from
SI00 to $500 an acre, with no labor save pick
ing, drying ON the ground and boxing up for
transportation The parnpaS roots are gen
orally set out in alternate rows between the
fruit trees in an orchard.

TEE HACK DRIVERS. OFF EYE.
The Efforts Of q Funny Dry Goods
Clerk Rewarded with Remarkable
Success
[Brooklyn Eagle.1

A hack driver, who was waiting for some
patrons on Fulton street the other day, with
the enterprise of his class, utilized his spare
moments IN taking a nap on the seat Of the
vehicle. a funny dry goods clerk saw him.
and procuring large feather he fastened it
to the end of walking cane and began to
tickle the nose, ears and face Of the sleeping
driver. A man who was passing by saw the
operation and stopped to witness it. An
other man halted 70 find out what the first
was looking at, and in the good old way a
large crowd soon collected.
The Efforts Of the funny clerk were Te-
warded with remarkable success. The cab
man waved his arms mildly at intervals, and
struck out wildly right and left at Imaginary
flies, mosquitoes, June bugs and other atroci-
ties. It was great fun for many in the au-
dience, but no one relished the Joke SO greatly
as the perpetrator.
1t seemed for q short time that the per-
Torrance would be unending; but suddenly
hush fell upon that portion of the crowd
furthest removed from the lively young
clerk. Some one had seen the off eye Of the
driver cautiously open and then go shut
again with a movement we'll known Go soda

almost incessantly in the-air, at last settled
in most natural manner on the handle of
the whip.
