in an offensive sense) which prevails among
all classes of people in the Eastern States
with respect to California, is most surpris
ing to one who has had opportunities to
become familiar with the real conditions
This lack of knowledge was manifest in all
the sections we recently visited and on the
lines of travel, by the many seemingly alb
surd questions asked of US, by those with
whom we conveTSed on the subject. One
would say Il have heard that you have
but two seasons in your State, wet and
dry one Upon admitting that that was
about the fact. he would inquire
how long is the dry season. We
would answer that the seasons varied
in length some, but usually no
rain fell of any consequence. if at all from
the 10Th of April till the 18th OF Novem-
Der. Don't the country burn up. and do
you have to feed your stock all that
time? would be the next query, evil

here necessarily entaied as many calami

also an idea prevalent that the wet season
in California means an almost continuous

attempted TO disabuse by pointing t. the
fact that from II to 10 inches of rain is the
full average of seasons. and that the ele-
ments could not be very actively or col :

quantity from November till April. An

ORIGIN OF Billiards were
first invented, says good authority, by q
pawnbroker About the middle of the six
tenth century there was one VIM. Kew,
apawnbroker, who, during the wet weather,
was i'll the habit of taking down the three
balls, and, with yard measure, pushing
them, billiard fashion. from the counter
into the stalls. In time the idea of a board
with side pockets suggested itself A black
letter MS. says: Master VIM. Kew did
make one boarde whereby game is played
with three balls, and all the young men
were greatly recreated thereat, chiefly the
young clergymen from st. Pawles. hence
one OF We strokes was named Canon, hav-
ing been by one of We same clersymen in
vented. This game is known by We name
of Billyard, because William or Bill
Kew did first play with his yard measure.
The stick is now called the kew or kue.' II
is easy to comprehend how " Bill yard
has been modernized into billiard, and the
transformation OF :" kew or kue into
cue is equally apparent.

The Rus1N 0urJooK.-The esteem with
which California raiSins are coming TO be
regarded at the East is shown by the -act
that recently representative of u Chicsgo
house visited Fresno with the intention of
purchasing dozen or so carloads for his
firm. So thoroughly had the market been
cleaned up, however, that he was barely
able TO gather together single carload.
Although numerous predictions of over
supply and low prices were made in the
early part of the season, it is a fact that
every producer whose raisin pack was of
even pas.able quality has disposed of his
crop at good figures, and the outlook for
the coming season could not be more
promising. Already contracts are being
made for the delivery of the 1886 pack. but
whether it is wise to bind ones self to GER
tain figures at this time or not is Il difficult
question to decide. A fortunate thing
about the raisin grape, is that SO far no in
sect enemies have attacked il, and with
proper care in cultivation il Is to be hoped
that this state Of affairs mag continue. The
