A NArURAL FRUIT sEo4IoN.

cation-Prices OF Lands
General Prosperity.

The SIGNS of the times indicate beyond
question an immigration from the blizzard
swept prairies of the West, from the oft
divided homesteads of the Middle States,
from the worn-out soils Of the East and
South and from the great, crowded cities
of the Atlantic slope, to Northern and
Central California the coming winter, far
in excess of that of any former year.
Never before has there been such de-
mand for specific information regarding
the capabilities of California soil, the de-
veloping and settlement of localities new
in the prosecution Of industries already
proven profitable in other sections similar
as to natural advantages, and where de
sirable lands for cultivation and invest
ment may be had for reasonable prices, as
there is at the present time.
Realizing, therefore, the constant de-
mand for such information, the RECORD
UNION, with a view to aiding home
seekers, and to anticipate and answer such
questions as would naturally be asked, will
continue to furnish somewhat detailed ac-
counts of different localities, based on
data of the utmost reliability, gathered by
its own representatives especially engaged
in this work, and which it is hoped will
materially assist those in search of land
for investment or for homes to more easily
investigate for themselves, either in person
or hV cOrrecDnudanpa
Last week there appeared 10 these col
umns an article on the foothill section
adjacent to Newcastle, a section that in
less than ten years developed from what
was once believed to be worthless range
of barren hills into one Of the most cele-
brated fruit-producing regions of the
world.
To-day attention is directed to the rapid
development of another fruit section, SIM
liar as to soil, topography and climate, by
presentation of the resources Of Ander-

Too Much Hot Blood.

The idea is beginning to gain vogue not
only among vegetarians by principle but
with others who have never considered the
subject in the light that the yegetarians
do, that our diet is altogether too strong in
the matter of the more heating meats; so
much is this the case, that it is maintained
that mild wines do really less harm TO the
general system than flesh that IS loaded
with red blood. This strong meat, such,
for instance, as beet, the eating of which,
it is said, frequently generates too hot
blood, gives us our reckless activity, our in
tensity, and many of our new diseases.
White meats, vegetables, oils and fruits, in
long-tried use among the ancients, are in
this view safer and wholesomer diet than
that which we have so long considered the
best to be had. Whether the facts and
their differences are correct or not they
deserve consideration.-Harper's Bazar.

What q Sacramento Young Lady Has to
Say About Him.

Say About Him.
4 well-known Sacramento young lady,
in speaking of the men, says:
In the first place, mans q rather nice
article to have about the house at night
because he's not afraid of burglars and
yeritable nuisance around the house in the
daytime, for more reasons than we have
time to enUmerate-chief of which, how
ever, is that he growls when you ask him
to move in front of your broom.
4 man is nice to escort q woman home
in the evening-especially if she wears
diamonds. But frequently-this refers to
married men-is not at home when wanted
for this purpose.
A man is handy to foot drygoods and
milliners' bills, and handy to carry
baskets and dig ferns at a picnic. He's
pretty nice to waltz with, provided he
does not step on ones toes-in fact, dance
would be insipid without some men
around. He is good to chop kindling and
build fires-if he will.
We think we have told what man can do
let's see what he can't do. He cannot
see woman on the street and come home
and tell his wife what she was dressed in.
He can't conceive of an elegant dress I'M
less it is silk, satin or velvet. He can not
see any selfishness in monopolizlng the
paper all evening
Physically, man is stronger than woman;
mentally he is her equal. Mans sorrow is
not SO lasting as woman's it may be as
keen at first, but he goes to his business
and mingles with other men and forgets.
This lsssie had lands, but her laddie had
nane," is true as often as its contrary.
Talk OF women marrying for money
Men are Just as mercen3ry. Man is more
liable to 90 10 Canada with the bank funds
than woman, but an honest mans the
noblest work of God"

Under the Wreckace.

When death removes friend or brother
the heart-strings may pull, but we know
that he Is restingsin his narrow home 1t
is comfort in our grief to know that we
can visit where he lies. But when a
father, son or brother goes out into the
vast world to be heard Of no more-never
a message; never a line; never a word as
to whether he is living or dead; where or
how he died whether the sea or the sands
gave him burial-it is then that the heart
shriyels up with the weary waiting.
Down on the jersey coast, with its miles
OF marsh-its miles of inlets-its miles of
dreary sand-its surf roaring and fretting
like 4 tiger first placed in its cage, we
found . great heap of wrecllage. II was
old and moss-grown. A bark or schooner
had been driven in upon the dreaded
Brigantine Shoals and pounded to pieces.
Here were planks, beams, braces, knees
a piece of Il top mast-a few links of the
anchor chain. spiices and splinters and
relics TO tell you story to bring tears to
your eyes The wrecFlers had passed it
by. Mayhap the sight recalled the fate
of father or brother In idle wav we
pulled the heap apart, pausing each mo-
ment to wonder and speculate. We had
come TO the bottom when lol we found 4
skeleton. Aye it was a skeleton-noth-
ing better than the gray-white bones of 4
strong man, over which the surprised and
frightened crabs were crawling to find ref
uge under the stones.

yesterday.
At the close Of Chase's remarks, Doiph said
that some anxiety WGs fclt OF the north Pacific
coast in regard TO the provisions of the Senate
bill as to the tariff on coal snd asked Allison
Il the senate bill put coal on the Tree list in any
form.
Allison said that he had several inquiries in
the same direction. Coal slack or culm of coal
was put on the free list, but that was one of the
mistakes in the bill and should be corrected
before the bill is reported 1t was the intention
OF the Finance Committee (at least OF the ma
Jor1ty), that coal slack or culm should pay duty
as now, or perhaps an increased duty The
committee proposed TO put all coal on the duti-
able list at the rate now proposed by law, u
cents per ton. That is one OF the amendments
which the committee VIII propose at the p-ouer
time.
Call reviewed Plates argument of yesterday,

Hawley said he was gad that the Senate bill
had been reported. He thought that it was a
very good bill, perhaps the best first draft OF q
tariff bill ever submitted to Congress.

every item in one or against every item in the

In this same hotel was another family,
