CALIFORNIA; Seed Trade.

The seed trade appears to be destined
TO very great expansion in California
at q not very distant period. In the
single county of Santa Clara, not less
than 200 acres are now devoted to the
production of garden seeds. Over co.
600 pounds of lettuce seed and 100, 900
pounds of onion seed have been shipped
East in a single season. In other coun-
ties a quite important business has been
developed in the production of clover
seed, beans and peas for the supply Of
distant markets. While the State may
not secure the monopoly Of the seed
business, because good seeds are grown
in the Atlantic States, the rapid increase
of business in California indicates that
one at least of the great centres of the
seed business is said to be in that State.
The quality of many small seeds pro-
duced there, such as onion and lettuce,
will have much to do in bringing the
seed interest into greater prominence.

Uncle Mel was i'll for many long
week, and We had dull and quiet time
in taking care Of him. One day in Au-
gust, as mamma was sitting with him,
he said, suddenly, 'sCall in them girls !"
We appeared, little doubtful of our
reception.
''The doctor says, if it hadn't ha' been
for your ridin' on that thing, I should
ha' been wuss off'n I was" he began,
abruptly. "Where is it2"

to turn your mother out of her house
and live there myself. I'm too old to be

This looked serious. Poor as the
house was, we had, as yet, no other
shelter.
"I've took a place in Ellsworth" he
went on, ''and I'm goin' to let your
mother live there and board you while
you go to the Seminary. Now, don't

So did we think of HIM; we Thought
and spoke Of him too often for our peace
of mind. Uncle Mel was rich, and we
we've very poor. Moreover, the time
had come when we needed to go away
to school. Mamma had always taught
us that it was mistake to suppose the
world owed us living.
"You have no right to your uncle's
money simply because he has a great
deal and you have none" she said.
"But, if he would lend you a small sum
for beginning, think you could work
your way at Ellsworth Seminary. You
would pledge yourselves to repay it,
with interest, when you are old enough
to support yourselves; and, though he
would be taking a risk, we should all try
to make that risk as small as possible. +"
But when the scheme was proposed to
Uncle Mel, he vetoed it at once, and
with the utmost vigor.

into the town of Conemaugh,
Striking the peoples souls with awe,
Dashed a rider, afame and pale,
Never alighting to tell his tale,
Sitting his big bay horse astride,
Run for your lives to the hillsl" he cried
'"Run to the hillsl" was what he said
As he waved his hand and dashed ahead
"fiun for your lives to the hlls!" he cried,
Squirting his horse, whose reeking side
Was hecked with foam as red as fame.
Whittier he goes and whence he cams
Eooody knows. They see his horse
Plunging on in his frantic course,
Veins distended and nostrils wide,
Fired and irenzied at such a ride.
Nobody knows the riders name
Dead forever to earthly fame
"Run to the hills to the hillsl" he cried
" Run for your lives to the mountain sidel"
"Stop himl he's mad just look at him gol
'Tain't SAFE" they said, "to let him ride so. y
"He thinks to scare u.s." said one, with a
laugh,
t'But Conemaugh folks don't swallow no
chat.
faint nothing, I'll bet, but the same old
leak
In the dam above the South Fork Creek"
Blind to their danger, callous of dread.
They laughed as he left them and dashed
ahead.
'"Run for your lives to the hills Z" he cried,
Lashing his horse in his desperate ride
Down through the valley the rider passed,
Shouting. and squirting his horse on fast;
But not so fast did the rider go
As the raging, roaring mighty flow
or the million feet and millions more
or water whose fury he fed before.
On he went, and on it came,
The food itself mighty flame
0fsurging, swirling, seething tide,
Mountain high and torrents wide.
God alone might measure the force
OF the Conemaugh food in its v-shaped
course.
Behind him were buried under the food
'Conemaugh town and all who stood
.Jeering there at the man who cried,
luu loI your Lives 70 Tue lHOunldln-sluel
On he sped in his fierce wild ride
"Run to the hills to the hillsl /" he cried.
Nearer, nearer came The roar
Horse and rider fed before.
Dashing along the valley ridge,
They came at last to the railroad bridge.
The big horse stood, the rider cried,
" Run for yonr lives to the mountain-sidel"
Then plunged across, but not before
The mighty, mereiless, mountain roar
Struck the bridge and swept it away
Like bit Of straw or a wisp of hay,
But over and under and through that tide
The voice OF the unknown rider cried,
3" Run to the hills /" to the hillsl" it cried
Run for your lives to the mountan-sidel"

ARCADIA IN A CANYON.
A Queer Colony of Vegetarians-
Prosperous Women Members.

The route from San Diego to the des-
ert slope on the eastern side of the
county's mountain ranges stopped mid
way at Ballena, 1850 feet above the sea.
From this point the road ascends through
narrow canyon shaded with ancient
oaks, which soon opens out into great
valley Of surprising beauty. Turning
south side road leading to San Vim
cente runs down long canyon where
some interesting people, deyotees of the
vegetarian cult, have made their homes.
They, too, wandered down from Cotton,
n distance of 100 miles or more, nearly
three years ago.
The party comprised Mr.. lie Beuf, his
wife, and their ward, Miss Hadley, all
from ST. Louis, Mo. Dir. lie Beuf
pushed large wheelbarrow before him,
filled with their possessions, and the
women--notable for their short hair and
bloomer dress-trod cheerfully along
beside him. They were seeking loca-
cation for home ON government land,
and they choose it in the widest part OF
the canyon. Mrs. lie Beuf's health had
broken down in kindergarten work at st.
Louis, and for this reason they came to
the coast The invalid had found the
weight Of ordinary clothing intolerable,
and both of the women had therefore
adopted the bloomer costume, with high
shoes of gray cloth instead Of the usual
trousers. Mr.. lie Beuf went to work
clearing the land, and in short time
had stretched a circular canvas over the
saplings for their dwelling, making it
resemble big beehive. Linseed /
was rubbed on the cloth TO make it
water proof. Furniture was constructed
of the natural woods with their bark
and MOSES. A garden was planted and
grain sowed.
Then Miss Hadley found a pocket in
the rocks little higher up the canyon,
which pleased her, and she filed pre-
emption claim to eighty acres. A can
vas dome also rose on her clearing,
which is now a marvel of productive
ness. Miss Cook, another vegetarian,
came out from Missouri to assist her.
These industrious Young women now
have one and one-half acres in grain,
with not a weed on the entire place.
They make their own -four. They have
sweet peas, onions, lettuce, celery, ETC.,
with blackberry bushes and various other
small fruits. They chiselled ten steps
in the granite rocks leading down to Q
spring which breaks through q fissure in
the rocks. A cellar built in the bank
contains some 200 bottles Of peculiar
grape cordial, which is their only drink.
II is boiled down without being sweet
ened, and is considered a sort of grape
cure.
These resourceful people manufacture
their own garments, including shoes.
Beuf's garments are somewhat like
bathing suit.
Several weeks ago man ramed Wei
also a vegetarian, appeared
in the canyon, and week before last he
brought Miss Hadley down to San Die
20 in the stage and there they were
married. Miss Cook continues to reside
With them. The two men work on the
-anches thereabouts as opportunity
,ffers, while the women devote their
eisure to books and cultivation of the
yardens.-[San Diego Call Sun.

fThere are 50, 900 500 900 invested in
the dairy business in this country - said
a citizen with prediction for statistics
That amount is almost double the money
invested in banking and commercial in
dustries. 1t is estimated that it requires
-, GOO 900 cows to supply the demand for
milk and its products in the United
States. To feed these cows 80 900 900
acres of land are under cultivation. The
agricultural and dairy machinery and
implements are worth 5000 900 600 The
men employed in the business number
$50 600, and the horses over one million =,
The cows and horses consume annua3tS
80 COO GOO tons of hay, and nearly ninety
million bushels of cOTnmeal, about the
same amount of oatmeal, 275 900 900
bushels of oats, , 900 900 bushels of bran
and 30 900 900 bushels of corn, to say
nothing of the brewery grains, sprouts,
and other questionable feed of various
kinds that are used to a great extent.
1t costs $3.50 900 to feed these cows and
horses. The average price paid to the
laborer necessary in the dairy business is
proably twenty dollars month, amount
ing to $3.50, 900, 000 year.
The average cow yields about four hun
dred and fifty gallons of milk a yeaE<

price to estimate the value of the milks
