CALIFORNIA FIGS.
The fig is destined to become one of the
California staple products, and this neigh
borhood is as well adapted to fig-culture as
any in the State. The tree grows almost
as rapidly as cottonwood; attains large
size, is very handsome, has the densest
of shades, and knows no limit in
production when il comes to bearing.
The chief difficulty in fig-culture,
thus far, has been to obtain the true fig of
commerce. But it is now certain that the
right fig has been obtained. w. c. West,
of Fresno, went to Smyrna, where the best
figs come from, first when the figs were in
bearing, and marked the trees from which
he wished cuttings. Returning in Novem-
Der he took from these trees Ii 900 cuttings
of the fig of commerce, 5000 wild or male
figs, 5000 choice table varieties. MrWest
then had to smuggle his cuttings on board
a ship in the night, as their expectation
had been prohibited by the authorities.

If the true fig Of commerce has indeed
been obtained, the fig industry of Cali
fornia will equal the raisin industry before
many years.
THE RAISTN INDUSTRY.
The vines best adapted for raisins are
the Muscat and Malaga, and are planted
in rows ten feet each way, with a sixteen.
foot avenue every ten rows, for wagon
road. A raisin vineyard will begin TO
bear proftably at three years old, but
will not come into full bearing until six
years old; but the fourth and fifth wears
are very satisfactory, ranging from four to
seven tons per acre. 1t takes. allowing for
waste, three tons of grapes to make one Of
raisins, and a ton of good raisins, boxed
and ready for market. is worth from $3.50
to S2i0, and the cost of picking, driving.
packing and boxing is from $40 to $50 per
ton, making the grapes worth on the vines
from 500 to $50 per acre. The expense
of caring for vineyard up to picking time
is not great. One man will cultivate and

FASHiON NOTES.

Blood orange and primrose are the
names of two very fashionable new shades
in kid gloves, both dressed and undressed
terials, from velvet to striped grenadine.
These are made in Princess of Wales style,
with long ciinging draperies.
Bonnets and hats present a curious
mixture of former styles and fashions with
several new features, but with no radical
departure in style, contour or garniture
Very light aud fine French broadcloth
jackets, made doubie-breasted and elab-
orately braided, are worn by many stylish
young ladies, instead of braided jerseys, as
an extra bodice to wear with skirts of va
rious kinds.
In jewelry new and fanciful designs are
shown for pendants and lace-pins. Among
the dainty devices is a spray OF thistles
with the round base of the blossom formed
Of a single large pearl, and the filaments
o. small diamonds.
Very becoming dresses for stout people
are made of the medium-wide striped
fabrics, with skirt Of plain goods, with
stripes cut diagonally and used as border
for the foot of the skirt and as a finish to
the long, straight sides of the draperies.
A little cluster of zephyr curls no more
than two inches in length, and of airy
lightness, are now allowed to escape from
the lightly braided Grecian couture. The
coil protrudes from the center of the head
and is becoming only to women with pretty
features.
Some of the new spring bonnets are
made entirely of fancy lace in deep rich
coiors, and also in gold or silver. The
bonnets are stringless in most cases, and
in front are bristling bows of shot ribbon,
into which are thrust two or three long
quilts. The distinguishing feature of
these bonnets is the omission of all flowers

acres; apricots, 5 acres nectarines, 2
acres; pears, acres; micellaneous fruits
and garden, acre; raisin grapes, 10 acres.
Once in bearing, such farm should yield
an annual income of $1,000 to $4,000 clear
of all expenses, aside from the labor of the
man and his family. Compare this with
the returns from any quantity of Eastern
acreage and the result can be but in favor
of Tulare
PRICES OF LANDS.
Land values here, compared with other
sections and their productive capacity, are
yet low. That this should be so, arises
from the fact that substantial immigra-
ton is Of vastly more benefit to country
than speculative boom, and so prices
have not gone beyond reasonable limits,
nor even reached moderate prices Unim-
proved lands are obtainable at prices
ranging from $50 to SIS per acre, accord
ing to distance from town and water, while
in the artesian belt, out distance of from
ten to fifteen miles, as fertile lands as can
be found in the world can be had for from
SO to SIS and higher
Land prices have an upward tendency,
and what may be true now may not serve
in the least degree as an index six months
hence. ANY of these lands in three years
time, planted in fruit or vines, will yield,
it is confidently stated, interest at the rate
of twenty per cent. per year on an
investment of from $500 to $1,000
per acre. Knowing the prices and
values of similar lands in less favored
sections, it will indeed be strange if these
lands do not rapidly enhance.
In conclusion, it may be said that this
locality, with its natural, social, religious,
and educational advantages, its wonderful
fertility of soil, presents at this time in
ducements to the home-seeker surpassed
by no section elsewhere to be found.

Counterfeit Jewels.

Artificial precious stones have become
an important article of trade. The pro-
ducts of some shops would almost deceive
an expert, but the test of hardness is still
infallible. The beautiful " French paste, y
from which imitation diamonds are made,
is kind of glass with mixture of oxide
of lead The more OF the latter the
brighter the store, but also the softer and
this is a serious defect. The imitation
stones are now so perfectly made, and are
so satisfactory TO those who are not very
particular, that their influence begins to
be felt in the market for real stones By
careful selection of the ingredients, and
skill and manipulation, the luster, color,
fire and water of the choicest stones are to
the eyes Of the layman fully reproduced.
There are few delicacies Of color that
cannot be perfectly given, for they de-
pend on some undiscoverable peculiarities
OF molecular arrangement, and not on
chemical composition but the persons who
buy the stones know nothing of that
Yet Sidot, French chemist, has nearly
reproduced these peculiaritieS, including
the dichroism of the sapphire, with COM
position of which the base is phosphate of
lime. Two other French chemists, Frenzy
and Fell, have produced rubies and sap
phires having the same composition with
the genuine stones and nearly equal hard

strangers TO each other. The meeting was
called to order by Brother John A. Tut.
Some brother made motion that DR. R.
II. Mcdonald take the chair, which was
carried. To the surprise of DR.. Melon
aid, for he did not know soul present, as
he approached the box which was used as
chair, another individual stepped for
ward also to take it. Then there occurred
an amusing scene as two tall men, six
footers, stood looking at each other in the
face. Are you DR.. r. H. Mcdonald :?
and have you any monopoly of the name
of Mcdonald ?" said he (of the Pacific
Bank" am DR.. r. II. Mcdaniel, but
generally known as DIR. r. III. Mcdonald
by mistake of calling my name" said the
latter. Mutual explanations followed. when
DIR. X. II. Mcdonald gave way to DR..
K. II. Mcdaniel, the man really NOM
mated, who at once took the chair and the
meeting was duly organized.
Upon examination when it became nee
essary to ascertain who were Masons, it
was discovered that there was no Bible
present and nothing could be done with
out it. DR.. Z. H. Mcdonald then said
Please wait a few moments and | will get
one" He then went out and brought in
this Pioneer Bible that had been thrown
away on the Humboldt desert and brought
through as stated. The meeting then or
ganized a Masonic Association for the re-
lief of the sick and distressed pioneer emf
grant brethren who were constantly arriy-
ing from across the plains
Soon after it was discovered that char
ter for Masonic Lodge was in existence
in the hands of brother, issued to Con-
necticut Lodge, No. rs. The brethren
comprising the association Immediately
dissolved that organization and organized
,, under the charter of Connecticut Lodge,
No %, and DIR. r. H. Mcdonald pre-
sented that Lodge with that Bible.
That Lodge then secured the garnet of
the " Red House" on the southeast corner
of and Fifth streets, in which to hold Its
meetings, which was then the best build
ing for that purpose in Sacramento city.

from the peach. 1t has rough pit like
the peach, and smooth skin like the
apricot, but it has a flavor of its own and
is very delicious. 1t grows larger than the
apricot, but does not attain the size of the
peach. There is no danger of overstock-
