AROUND SELMA.
Wonderful and Rapid DeVel-

VINEYARD AND FRUIT PROFITS.
Climate and Soil of this Section
The Lands and the Water Sup
ply-Data OF Fruit Yields-An
Attractive Location.

At no other time in the history Of our
State has there been such general de-
mand for information regarding the capa-
bilities of California soil, the price of
lands, and general resources than now.
Never before has there been such a steady
stream of home-seekers coming to us from
the WORKOUT soils of the East and South !;
from the oft-divided HON esteads of the
prairies; from the thickly-populated areas
Of the Middle States, and from the great
crowded cities of the Atlantic slope.
Constantly realizing, therefore, the de-
mand for such information, the RECORD
UNION, with a view to aiding home-seekers
and TO answer these inquiries, continues its
long-established custom OF furnishing
somewhat detailed accounts of different
localities, based on data of the utmost re-
liability, gathered by its own representa-
tives especially engaged in this work, and
which we trust will materially assist those
in search of land for homes to more easily
investigate for themselves, either in person
or by correspondence.
To chronicle in detail the laying out,
the growth, the advantages and resources
of the subject of this article would, to do
the subject justice, require space enough to
fill an ordinary sized pamphlet volume.
Suffice it to say that Selma is situated in
Fresno county, on the main line of the
Southern Pacific Railroad, 22l miles south
of San Francisco and 10 miles south of the
city of Fresno.
SURFACE AND SLOPE.
The surface of the country is compara-
lively level, with gentle slope to the
southwest, the grade being about eight
feet to the mile, and afiording most excel
lent drainage facilities. The soil is sandy
and exceedingly fertile, and especially
adapted to the successful culture of fruit
and vines, and is, in fact, in the very CEN
greatest raisin-producing region of the
globe.
WINTER AND SUMMER
The climate is Californian, and numbers
but two seasons, the rainy and the dry,
technically termed winter and summer.
Winter is supposed to have begun with
the first rain and to have ended with the
last. The first precipitation usually oc-
ours in October, followed by occasional
rain in storms of from one to three days
duration. Showers continue to fall into
March and sometimes during April and
Nay, but the vast majority of the "winter''
days are sunny and pleasant, and ALSO
lutely free from fogs.
The summers are hot and dry, and are
just what puts this section in the front
rank as a raisin-produeing country. The
heat of the day is invariably followed by
cool nights, which insure good rest. Owing
to the excessive dryness of the atmos-
phere, and consequent rapid evaporation,
less distress on account of heat is noticed
here when the thermometer reaches as
high even as 1100, than would be expert
enced in moist atmosphere at a tempera-
ture of 500. The average mean tempera-
ture of the coolest winter month will vary
less than twenty degrees from that of the
hottest summer month.

fornia 1t is rather smaller than advanced
arithmetics usually are, which is much in
its favor, however, as many arithmetics, by
their very size, are alarming and dis
couraging. The California State Board of
Education, in issuing this advanced arith-
metic, does not expect or propose to make
revolution III teaching such an old sub
ject, but they do feel that many arith-
metics have been given to talking, and not
enough to doing, and that long explana-
ton is more preplexing than short one.
To be understood the work must be done
by the pupil, and he does not need an ex-
PLANTATION afterward. Consequently, the
explanations in this book are all brief.
After thorough trial, this textbook has
been pronounced excellent, the frequent
reviews making the work more impressive
and permanent.

HIS PERSONALITY.

One cannot read even the bare, skeleton
like outline of the incidents of the En-
peror's life without being impressed with
the individuality of his remarkable char
acter. Kings and Emperors at no time in
the worlds history hayebeen distinguished,
as class, for mental greatness. Their
high office, generally, has conferred all the
glory that surrounds them. A weIl-pro-
portioned royal character is anomalous.
They have rarely acknowledged the axiom

At Ems, in 1870, when the proposition
to put upon the throne of Spain prince
of the Swabian branch of the house of Ho-
benzollern kindled the wrath of France,
the King displayed rectitude, dignity
and self-respect that won the appreciation
of the civilized world 1t may well be
