California Garden Seeds.

One of the most interesting ind ustrial
facts relating to California is that it has
been found to be the best place in the
Union for the production ofgarden seeds.
This verifcation has not yet extended
to the entire list. But there are at least
halfa dozen of the more prominent
varieties which it is now known can be
brought to greater perfection here than
elsewhere. Lettuce seed grown here is
the best in the world. It will surprise
many to learn that not less than 10000
pounds of this seed were shipped East
last season. There is q demand for the
seed quite beyond the supply, since it
IS now known by eastern seeds
men that the best lettuce seed
in the world is grown here. For this
reason foreign importations of lettuce
seed have nearly or quite ceased. And
yet the business of growing this seed in
California, we judge. is in its infancy.
Next to lettuce seed, the production Of
onion seed in California has the greatest
prominence. It is largely exported.
The best and most famous onion seed in
the United States is now known to be
that produced from the Yellow Danvers
of California. The demand greatly ex-
ceeds the supply. Large quantities have
been shipped to eastern scotsman dur
ing the last three years. Two years ago
this seed was worth 81 a pound. Last
year it brought 80 cents. There were
about sc, 900 pounds of this seed grown in
this state during last year-this estimate
only covering the amount available for
seedsmen. The Wethers6eld onion-grow-
ers ard seed-growers are now producing
their seed in California because they get
a better article. A leading seedsmen of
the Atlantic states, who is now interested
in seed growing, tells his customers in a
circular, that as good seeds can be got of
California growers as are produced in
the East 'perhaps better" He is con-
tirmed in this opinion by his knowledge
as grower OF seeds in this state. 1t
may be stated here that some of the
most prominent seed-growers on the
other side of the country are now becom-
ing interested as proprietors OF seed
producing lands in California. Peter
Henderson, the veteran seed-grower,
who is known by reputation all over the
country, says that in time the bulk of
the gar!en seeds of the country will be
produced in California Francisco

Wide Spread Popularity Of
stHOme Sweet HOme.''

The explanation of the wide popularity
(if we may use the word so debased) Of
the one song Of John Howard Payne is
to be sought for in its universal applica-
bility to the human race. Only among
bestial degraded races of mankind do we
find no trace ofattachment to.home. tits
difficult to say whether the home feel
ing is divine or merely human, or even
purely animal, since we share that senti-
'nent Gf it be q sentiment) with the
creatures whose dumb inartlculate cries
are often their only lamentation over
homes of which .ev are bereft. But
the noblest part ofthe human race thinks
chiefly of its home, its abiding-p)ace, its
haven of rest, in which is hidden all
the sweet domesticity of motherhood,
childhood, and married life. Separated
from these the soul of man is uneasy,
unixed uncheerful. In our nomadic
life, full of changes and viciss,tudes,
these separations are inevitable and fire.
Quenl. The passionate longing, the PEN
sive sorrow expressed i'll Payne's lyric,
have been common to the human race.
In these simple words the poet gave ex-
preston to the universal thought of
inconsistencies that at some time or an
other has darkened every heart. It was
not necessary to his fame that he should
have composed any other literary work

In Death Not Divided.

Wheeling wv. va) Inteliigencer.
About ten days ago Mr.. Jacob House
was obliged totake his bed at the res
idence of his son-in.law, Mr.. F. f.
Olmstead, ON the Island. There seemed
to be an entire collapse of his system.
and the old gentleman realized that dis
solution was not ia. distant. His faithful
wife nursed him carefully, but the task
was too great for her and brought on q
heart trouble 70 which she Was subject,
so that on Wednesday she was obliged
to remain in her bed, and Thursday
afternoon she died. Last evening her
husband followed her. He was in his
18th year, she in her 73l. For over fifty
two years they had lived happily to-
gether, anil had anticipated
dyin5 very close together; in fact, it was
often theme Of conversation with
them. When Mr.. House was taken i'll,
his children did not think that there
was cause for serious alarm, although he
was very feeble, but, after his wife was
taken i'll, he appeaced to sink faster,
and seemed to find q source of gratiti-
cation in the fact that she. with him,
was near deaths door. Before she was
taken ill, he remarked that he feared
their anticipation of dying together
would not be realized. Thursday he
sent word to her, saying, "Good-bye."
After her death, he refused to take any
nOurishment or stimulant, closing his
lips against what was offered, although
the physicians said that had he taken
them, he would probably have rallied.

Girls Not Fit for Mothers.

From New York Letter.
Speaking to one of the best known
physicians in this city, especially on wo-
mems diseases, yesterday, he said:
THE tendency Of education in our large
cities. and particularly in New York, is
to destroy the girls for motherhood.
They are very handsome to tie eye as
they are growing up, have blooming
skins, fine eyes and hair, delicate and
generally small features; but so little
care is taken about exercise and regular
habits with them, that the moment they
marry they develop functional diseases,
which makes them miserable as wives
and companions, and their children are
acrawny, wretched little things, not tit to
live"
''Is not this partly due to climatic con-
ditions?"
''It is due to many things, climate in
cludcd-to vicious dressing. to wearing
shoes that do not permit exercise, to
late hours and parties, and general
neglect of the laws of health. There ! cal.

young, and by the time she got to be
eighteen she fell in love with young
bank clerk, and the result was mar
riage. He was earning perhaps s., 600

house in New York; so he went up to
Harlem. Consequently he spends part

meanwhile, dissatisfied that she cannot
keep house where she lived in NewYo rk
as when she lived at her fathers, is
complaining and unhappy. She has
been sick ever since the birth of her
only child, which is a little, sickly, mis-
cradle object, not fit to be brought into
the world. Large, strong, numerous
children, such as we used to see. are no
longer raised in these cities. Two
thirds Of the women here are tortured
with female weaknesses and diseases. If
they had been content to live in the
quiet towns, where most of them were
born. they would have probably had
comfortable married life, health and
peace and length OF years. No wonder
the preachers are talking about the IA
cility and frequency of divorce, when
there is so little congenial domestic life
in these great cities.

The Struggle for Mastery.

It is related that the late confederate,
Gen. Harry Gilmore, who had broken
off Incorporate habits, once found him
self in New York with an overwhelm-
ing desire for cocktail" He stlug
gled valiantly fora time and was several
times on the eve of saccumbing. He
felt as if no wealth would be too much
to give for drink. But knowing the
consequences he rushed to his room,
fell on his knees ut chair, and began
to pray, strong and long, that the Lord
would take out of his mouth that intense
thirst, and out of his mind its insane
waywardness. In the midst of his
prayer it suddenly came to him that IT,:
temptation was over. He took OFT his
clothes. went to bed and lau refresh
ing sleep of about three hours. When
he got up again the desire had passed

During Mr.. Tyler's administration the
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plen-

Tyler took great fancy to il, and for
some time contemplated buying it for
his own use. He had an Irishman for
his coachman. So he concluded one day
he would call Pat in and ask him what
he thought of the idea Of buying the ba-
rouche. Pat was sent for, and when he
came into the presence of Mr.. Tyler the
President said to him: "Pat, have you
seen that barouche of the French Minis

been thinking some time of buying it.
What do you think Of it?" Eyer honor,

A Bad Shepherds Cheek.

Gently returned from Sing Sing, cannot

in which capacity he had charge of a
fold in New York, and was sent to the
penitentiary for having starved and mis-
treated the children under his care. He
was also required to pay fine of $3.50.
This injured man now petitions the leg
islature to set aside the decision of the
court showing that q child in the fold
died from starvation. He cannot recover
the year spent in prison, but asks that
the $3.50 be refunded and that the city
Of New York be COMPEL d to pay the
dren's fold. The total amount Of the
bills is Sc, $40, and with this sum the ex-
shepherd would again be able to follow

Dyspepsia from Fast Eating.

Dyspepsia seems to be en- the increase,

eating that characterizes Americans.

celebrity with which he can bolt meal.
He allows six minutes to performance
to which an Englishman devotes an
hour. Every minute over that he con-
siders waste Of time, and he regards
