Written for the HERALD.
My Sweetheart.
In the fading sunlight mellow,
Where the buttercups so yellow,
In their golden mazes deck and dot the
meadows green;
Where the honey bees search over
The sweet-scented fields of clover,
I am waiting for the coming of my hearts
true queen.
lis her gentle voice low calling,
'Tis her dainty footsteps falling,
And their music sweeter far is than all
Natures song;
Mine her rosy lips now presses,
Dark locks mingle with bright tresses,
And with clasping hands we roam and
while the hours along.
In the evenings calm and glory,
Tell softly the strange story,
OF the soaring eagle yielding to the timid
dove;
But my darling does not wonder,
Naught her loyal faith can sunder,
For the guiding spirit of her life is trusting
love.
Now the 0wlets shr1ll cries utter,
Pale the fre-flies gleam and flutter,
Grows the cleaning darker, and the shad-
ows hover nigh;
And my queen, my winsome fairy,
In my loving arms carry,
For my sweetheart scarcely five is, and past
forty I.

THERE are those who think that
the fig is the coming fruit for profit in
South California. This impression
has grown from many reasons. The
fig tree will grow and bear good crops
on land too dry to mature other fruits
it can be grown with little care and
risk; it has no insect enemies; it be-
gins to bear the second year; it grows
rapidly it attains a great size; it lives
to an advanced age; it yields larger
and finer crops as it increases in size
and age; it is profitable. In fact, fig
raising is as profitable in South Cali.
fornia as orange growing. A four
year-old tree will average zoe
pounds OF fruit, and with eighty
trees to the acre-some put as
many as 110 to the acre-will make a
return, at the average price Of cents
pound, of $500 an acre in the first
instance, and of $40 in the latter.
By drying or crystallizing the above
yields the returns are nearly, or quite,
doubled. Further, as regards profit,
fig trees advance in value of crops
about 81 each year; that is, the four
year-old tree bears 81 worth of fruit a
year and the eight-year-old tree IS
worth. OF the dried fruit, a tree
six years old will produce 100
pounds or more, which at ten
cents a pound is $40 tree, OF
for an acre of eighty trees, $500.
There is cited an orchard six years
old that produces in year $50 pounds
of dried fruit to the tree, and another
twenty-five years old that yields from
800 to 1000 pounds of dried fruit per
tree each year. Aside from the com
mercial value OF figs for drying, there
is rapidly growing demand for figs
for crystalizing, canning, jamming and
picking, both of the brown Smyrna
and White Adriatic. The demand for
preserved figs is SO great that any
community that shall plant largely of
fig trees will soon become the COM
mercial center Of fig industry. There
is but small portion of the earth s
surface where the fig can be success
fully grown and cured. South Cali
fornia has lions share of such
ground, and from the mesas to the
interior mountain ranges the soil is
adapted to fig raising. 1t produces
luxuriantly by the sea, and is equally
at home in the dryer valleys of the
interior. Progressive and far-sighted
fruit-raisers are planting the prolific
fig. 1t is we'll for him that sits be-
meath his own vine and fg-tree.

Company, at the Pavilion, last night.
attracted as large an audience as that
which greeted it on the opening night.
That Misses Winston and Manfred
have installed themselves as public
favorites is evidenced by the raptur-
GUS applause that greets their efforts,
and Mr.. DeLange's witticisms receive
due appreciation at the hands Of his
many admirers. His "Sponge il
Out" song has to be repeated num-
ber OF times ere the audience can be
satisfied, and his local illusions are
very happily arranged.
There will be an entertainment at
the Pavilion tonight, the Beggar

The newest exodus scheme is that

for the removal ST the entire popula-

are about $4,000 ia flowing and whale

Manitoba There is plenty of blubber
there when the thermometer is forty
below zero, but it is not oleaginous.
The exodus scheme, however, will

THE Sierra Madre Vista, published

THE Sierra Madre Vista, published
by L. 7. House, is a new
paper just started at the beautiful
foot hill town of Sierra Madre. The
paper is filed with interesting local
matter, and shows true 'apprecia-
ton of the great advantages of its
locality. As Mr.. House is a first-class
printer, it is needless to say that the
Sierra Madre Vista is a model of typo
graphical good taste. We wish it
success.

geles. 1t is hard to look into the fu-
ture and tell which seeds will grow
and which will not, but in the worst OF
seasons some seeds grow, and in the
best most of the seeding terminates,
springs and yields its fruit in mani
fold degrees. So with our
town sites; they are planted
under the best imaginable influences,
and most of them are sure to grow to
quite respectable proportions. In
these forecasts it will not be safe tc
reason unless we hold fast to the
cardinal fact that this section is cap
able of supporting population num-
bering a round million souls. When
we consider our climatic ad-
vantages it will appear pat
ent that not very great
space of time will be consumed in
filling up our charming valleys, and
developing our matchlessly rich in
dustries. With such dense popula-
ton as is certainly to be ours, Los
Angeles city, the chief one in a sec
tion Of 500 miles, will be place pop
ulous and rich. There is no room to
question the statement that
the city of the Angels
is to have 250,000 inhabitants
in no exceedingly long lapse
Of years. Any one who knows any
thing of large cities need not be in
formed that their suburbs are always
numerous, and that they reach out tc
all points Of the compass to distance
of twenty-four miles. San Francisco
has Oakland, Alameda, Fruit Vale
Brooklyn, Berkeley, San Rafael
Vallejo, Saucelito, and many
other places along the Bav
On the San Jose railroad
there are score Of stations where
hundreds of the business men OF the
Bay City have their homes. st. Pau
people have their country seats on all
the beautiful lakes within twenty
miles of the limits. The same is true
of Milwaukee. Where can you &C
within twenty miles of Chicago and
not find residences belonging to those
who are engaged in various pur-
suits in the great western
metropolis? In New York the citi-
zens 60 sixty miles up the Hudson in
quest Of homes. Between these sub
urbs and the main city ferries and
trains ply at all hours. The advan-
tages Of SO living over a home in the
city are pure air and water, freedom
from the poison arising from the
sewers OF great city, cheaper rents
and less expenses of living generally.
Our suburban towns will draw from
the entire area of the United States.
Men from all States in the Union will
have winter homes along our foothills
To these will be added a great many
people from our own metropolis, and
the result will be Los Angeles will
have more numerous and more pop
ulous suburbs by far than any city o.
her size on the globe.

Turning Leaves.

The warning that has been sounded against
turning the leaves Of books with wet fingers
for fear of microbes, was based on invostiga-
tions by the authorities among tho circulat-
ing. Libraries at Dresden, to determine
whether they were a medium for the com
munication Of infectious diseases. Soiled
leaves Of books We're rubbed first with dry
fingers. and then with wet ones, and the re-
suit nlicroscopica,ly examined. no microbes,
or few, were found on the dry finger, bat
many on the wet finger. 1t did not appear
that any Of them were infections, but the re-
suit of the experiments was held to justify an
earnest warning against putting the finger in
the mouth when turning the leaves OF books.
