So 1t may be with us when our work is all done. Dear Lord, give me sleep"
 I have one move thought to present I have spoken of the blowing, of the sowing, of the narrowing, of the reaping, of the threshing. I must now speak moment of the garnering,
 Where is the sarneri Need tell yout Oh, no So many have gone eut from your own circles-yea, from your own fsfnilys that you have had your eyes on that garner for many year. What a :shard time some of them had In Gethsemanes of suffer- ing, they sweat great drops of blood. They took tue .cup of trembling and they put 1t to their hot fps and they cried If 1t be possible, let this cup pass from me- With tongtes of burning agony they crieds 70 Lord, deliver my soulln But they got over It. They all got over it. Carnered, Their tears wiped away, their battles all ended; their
 burdens lifted Garucredl The Lord of the harvest will not allow those sheaves to perish in the equinox. Garnered Somo of us remember. On the farm, that the sheaves were put on the top of the rack, which sirmoudtcd the wagon,
 and these sheavcs were piled hiefser and higher, and after 6 while the horses started for the barn, and these sheaves swayed to and fro iu the wind, and the old wagon crealed, and the horses made a struggie and pulled so hard tho harness came up iri looi+s of leather on their back, and when the front wheel struck the elevated floor of the barn, it
 seemed as If the load would 20 no farther,
 until the workmeu gave great shout, and
 then with one last tremcndct,s strain. the
 horses pulled in the load; then they were unharnessed, and forlxful after forkful of grain fell into the now. o my friends, our getting into heaven may be pull, a hard
 pull, a very hard pull. but these shesves l are bound to go in. The Lord of the har. | vest has promised it. sec tho load at last coming in the door 1 of the heavenly garner. The sheaves os 1 the Christian soul sway to and fro in the wind of death, and the old body creaks
 under the load, and as the load strikes the
 floor of the celestial garner, 1t seems as if 1 1t can go no farther. It is the last .strug-

Weeks and Daysn Cato was prouder of his work on husbandry than of all his military conquests. Standing amid tho harvests and orchards and vineyards of the Bible, and standing amid the harvests and orchards and vineyards of our own country -l want to run out the analogy between the production of crops and the growth of grace in the soul--all these sacred writers making use of that analogy.

That which theologians call conviction Is snly the pl1wshare turning up the sins that have been rooted and matted in the soul A farmer said to his incident son: ssThcrc are hundred dollars buried deep In that field" The son went to work and he piowed the field from fence to fence, and hc plowed it very deep, and then com piained that he had not found the money, but when the crop had been gathered and sold for hundred dollars moro than any previous year, then the young man took the hint us to what his father meant when he said there were hundred dollars bur ried dewn in that fold.

California Fruits.

san FRANCISCO, July 9-One of the most
appetizing things in this city at this season
is visit to the fruit and vegetable markets
In the latter about every conceivable arti-
Gle in the green goods line is not only
displayed in abundance but is so tempting
to the devotee at the vegetarian diet altar
as to he positively fascinating. And fruits,
especially of the berry, cherry and peach
families, are simply killing in more ways
than one. Cherries as large as ordinary
eastern plums are arranged in regular lay
ers, with the biggest and best on top, in
shallow, oblong boxes. Figs apricots and
peaches are displayed in endless quantities
and of the finest qualities.
Blackberries, red raspberries and cur
rants are abundant also. But the prices
are not what one would expect them to be
in such fruit growing state The modern
fruit shipping facilities are such that there
is no such thing as a glutted market
What is not required for home consump-
ton is either sent east or else evolved into
jams or canned or dried for future distribu-
ton. Consequently the growers are al
ways sure of market, and at paying prices
for all they can produce.
Hence fruit farming is one of the most
certainly remunerative branches of indus
try IN Callfornla. Notwithstanding the
yearly increase in orchards and the cumu-
lative proclivities of older trees the yield
is never so great as to materially reduce
its value The demand for California figs
and raisins and canned fruits is growing
more rapidly than the growth of orchards,
and extends over an ever widening area
Californians have to pay about as much
for such delicacies as do New Workers.
For this New Workers are not sorry.
The handling of the fruit crops here
forms an extensive and profitable employ
ment for armies of laborers as well as mid
dlemen or manipulators.
Comparatively few growers put their
own product on the market. Much of it
is sold on the tree to shippers and packers,
who buy orchards at a fixed price per box
and gather the fruit themselves This is
especially the case with oranges. Then
when the fruit is picked the culls chiefly
find their way into home markets. the
hest yield being packed for eastern cities.
But one advantage home consumers have
is the fact that we get the fresher picked
and tree ripened article. The best matured
fruit will not stand long shipment and is
disposed of at home. Green figs will not
ship, and when the luscious ripe fruit is
plucked from the stem it fairly dissolves
in ones mouth. b. c. w.

The Flood Girls.

Have you ever read anything about the
curious way in which Jennie Flood used
to enjoy her wealth? In 1889 it was
said that Miss Flood had more money
than any other single woman west of
the Mississippi. But the great brown
stone palace on Mob Hill was apparently
source of no enjoyment to her With her
mother Miss Flood was content to use only
one of the spacious tapestry hung and
highly ornamented rooms. The paintings,
statues and chandeliers remained gloomily
wrapped in dust cloths, and but one of the
many servants employed before Mr.. Floods
death was retained. At the splendid Menlo
park villa the same state of affairs pre-.
vailed.
Probably no family who had suddenly
acquired wealth in California was ever
more severely criticised than were the
Floods, and of course Miss Jennie came in
for her share of this adverse tattle. But
her supreme devotion to her parents showed
that she was good deal more worthy than
were many of those who gossiped about
her

Informa alton About Fish.

Trout spawn during the months of No
vember December and January. At that
time they leave the deeper waters of lake
or stream and seek shallow portions where
there is gravelly bottom. This bottom
Is then swept, as it We're, by the rapid
action of the fins, and little hollow is ex-
ravated in which the eggs are deposited.
The black bass build nests along the
margin of the shore which are jealousy
guarded by the male fish. The carp fami-
ly deposit their eggs upon twigs or roots
on the borders of the ponds. They are left
TO take their chances without any of the
fostering care exhibited by the black bass
and other fishes.
