IN THE TOWN or GOSHEN.
This town, now for the first time offered
to the public in building lots, is undou ot-
edly the graniest opportu atty which the
great san Joaquin Valley with its limitless
resources has ever offered the investor.
SITUATION.
Goshen is in the heart of the valley on the
main line OF the S. p. r X. just midway be-
tween San Francisco aud Los Angeles, and
1t IS also the only center of the Cross Rail
road systems at present running from Huron
on the west to Nisalia on the east. This cross
line is now being pushed to the great coal
| field of Robins and Rawlins on the west, and
on the east will tap the inexhaustble um Der
belt of the Slerras 1t is beside the center
of numerous prospective lines and must un-
doubtedly become the great traffic depot of
| the Valley.
Soil and Agricultural Advantages.
Around Goshen are 100000 acres of the
finest agricultural land in the State-quite
as rich and productive land us that around
Fresno, which has sprung from hamlet to
city of 10000 inhabitants in three years
| This soil is now bearing all the fruits and
products OF California in abundance wher-
| ever tested.
| Goshen is IS miles from Tulare Lake, and
| lying as 1t does between it and the oierras
the questi N of water supply can never pre-
| sent any difficulty, as already att sted By the
abundance of irrigating bitches all around
| and the superabundance of surface water
and artesian wells.
| CLIMATE.
Goshen has undoubtedly the best climate
in the San joaquin Valley-pcrfectly free
| from all malaral Influeuces-and while the
days are delightfully."- warm the nights are
nights are balmy and cool
| Goshen affords probably the best field in
all California for great fruit-canning and
drying industry, and is scarcely seco d even
| TO WatsonvilIe as location for an eXte siYe
| beet-sugar factory, such as is being there
erected by Spreckels & Sons.

How to Go to Sleep.

1t is now, l believe, writes q cor
respondent of the London Spectator,
generally accepted thatour conscious,
daylight thinking processes are car
ried on in the sinister half of our
BRAIN. G., in the lobe which con-
trolls the action of the right arm and
leg. Pondering on the use of the
dexter half of the brain--possibly in
all unconscious cerebration, and
whatsoever may be genuineness of
themysteries ofplanchette and spirit
rapping, | came to the conclusion
(shared, no doubt, by many other
better-qualiied inquirers) that we
dream with this lobe, and that the
fantastic, Immoral, spirit-like charac-
ter of dreams is, in some way, trace
able to that fact. The practical in
ference then struck me: To bring
back sleep when lost we must quiet
the conscious, thinking, sinister side
of our brains, and bring into activity
only the dream side, the dexter lobe.
To do this the only plan l could
devise was to compel myself to put
asije every waking thought, even
soothing and pleasant ones, and
every effort of daylight memory,
such as counting numbers or the re-
petition of easy-howing verses, the
latter having been my not wholly
unsuccessful practice for many years.
Instead of all this l saw l must
think of II dream, the more recent
the better, and go over and over the
scene it presented Armed with this
idea, the next time / found myself
awakening at 2 or 8 o'clock in the
morning, instead Of merely trying to
Danish painful thought and repeat
ing as was my habit, that recon-
mendable soporifc paradise and
the Peri" l reverted at once to the
dream from which l had awaken ed,
and tried to go on with it. In
u moment l was asleep And from
that time the experiment, often re-
peated, has scarcely ever failed. Not
seldom the result is as sudden as the
fall of curtain and seems like a
charm. A friend to whom l have
confided my little discovery tells me
that, without any preliminary
theorizing about the lobes of the
brain, she had hit upon the same
plan to produce sleep, and had found
it wonderfully efiicacious.

A Tropical Night at Sea.

Night steaming toward the equa-
tor, with Demerara for Il goal. A
terrific warm wind that compels the
taking in of every awning and wind
sail. Driving tepid rain. Black
ness intense, broken only by the
phosph0rescence of the sea, which
tonight displays extraordinary
radiance.
Our wake is Il great broad seething
river of fire, whittier than strong
moonlight the glow is bright enough
to read by. At its centre the trail is
brightest; at the edges it pales
cloudily, curling like n smoke of
phosphorus. Great sharp lights
burst up momentarily through it
like meteors Weirder, however,
than this wake Of strange light are
the long slow fires that keep burn
ing about us at n distance, out in
the dark. Nebulous incandesccnces
arise, change form and pass serpen-
tine flames wriggle by; then there
are long billowing crests of fire.
These seem to be formed of millions
Of tiny sparks that light up all at
the same time, glow brightly awhile,
disappear, reappear and swirl away
in prolonged smouldcring.
Morning; steaming still south,
through vast blue day. Deep
azure heaven, with bluish-white
glow in the horizon; indigo sea.
Then again night, all luminous
and very calm. The Southern Cross
burns Whitley We are mar the
enormous shadows of the South
American coast.
Morning The light of an orange
colored sun illuminates, not Il blue,
but grcenish-yellow, sickly sea-
thick, foul, CLASSY smooth. We are
in the shadows. The line-caster
keeps calling, hour after hour, "And

soundings-always q quarter of

And Il blue sky The water-grecn
shows olive and brownish tones al
ternately; the foam looks viscous
and yellow our wake is ochre color
ed, very yellow and very shiny-look-
ing. 1t seems unnatural that blue
sky should hang over so hideous u
waste of water; it seems to demand
a gray blind sky, such gray and
such green being the colors of

morrow, and should like TO leave
message with you for Ned.
"Bessie looked up, and forgetting
for an instant her resolution, asked
"Must you really go? ! am sor-
ry, for we have enjoyed your visit
so much
"Is it possible ?" exclaimed Fred,
"why l thought you disliked me,
and was determined to "take the
conceit" out of "the Eighth Wonder
of the World"
"Bessie lowered her curly head,
and said:
81 am ashamed of my rudeness,
Mr.. Hilton, and -"
Here she seemed to be about to
burst into tears.
At this unexpected turn of affairs
Fred had the audacity to wind his
arm around her waist and draw the
curly head toward him until it
rested on his shoulder, and strange
to say, Bessie did not resist. Then
he spoke so low that it was impos-
sible to ascertain what he said, but
presently Bessie pushed back her
curIs which were considerably dis
placed, and replied that she might
be induced to comply with his re-
quest providing he did not smother
her with kisses before that time.
AT this juncture Ned appeared at
the door. He had been in the house
and failing to find Fred had come
in quest of him.
"But what does this meanT' said
he, with II roguish twinkle in his
eye.
"It means" said Fred, that Bessie
and I have concluded to be 'one'-
which one is left for us 10 determine
after the all-important event takes
place. But the funniest part of all
is that after Christmas l shall have
to call you Uncle Ned.
