Money In WaInuts.

There is very large profit in growing
English walnuts in Southern California
for the person who can wait few years
longer for the first good crop of the nuts
than for the first crop of fruits. The
experience of over thirty of the older
farmers in the vicinity of Downey, in this
county, is that bearing English walnut
grove pays as we'll (if not better) as any
investment in the country. A rich and
experienced Illinois farmer who spent
the winter here, told us that by com
parison of prices, cost of labor and mar
keting and returns from crops, he found
that one acre of bearing walnut trees in
this county pays a little better than
forty-four acres of the best wheat land
in Central Illinois, and there is one-fifth
the chance OF loss of crop in walnuts
there is in wheat
Mr.. 0. P. Parsons, the Oldest walnut
grower at Downey, has given us some
facts about the culture of the nut in his
part of the county. He tells us that his
grove OF 500 trees, planted twenty-eight
to the acre, bore small crop when eight
years old and full crop when twelve
years old. The average price of the nuts
for the past ten years has been nine
cents a pound, and the crop has nearly
always been sold to agents Tor Chicago
commission houses weeks before the
nuts were gathered. The trees have
averaged 1877 pounds to the tree each
year, since the bearing begun. None of
the crops since 1879 have yielded less
than $413 an acre, or 1892 net an acre.
Mr.. Parsons account books show that in
1887 he received for his whole crop the
sum of 81 1880, and in 1888 he received
$6,9S5 for the crop. He has shown us
letters from two wholesale fruit houses
in Chicago who already offer cents a
pound for his crop to be delivered at the
Downey depot next December. Mr..
Parsons informs us also that he knows
of fourteen farmers in Rivera and
Downey who cleared from $31O to 1865
an acre from English walnuts last year.
The planting of new walnut orchards
there has been particularly large this
year. Pomona Progress.

THE WORLD FILLING UP,
Is Time Coming When immigration
Must Cease,

According to Mr.. Gifen, says the
London Standard, few generations
more will see the end OF emigration, be-
cause there will be no room for more
emigrants, all the blank habitable space
having been occupied. Mr.. Giffen is a
master of statistics; but his manipula-
ton of figures in support of this rather
dismal theory is open to objection.
Take the case of the United States
at the present time the most attractive
emigration field. Uncle Sans terri
tory, exclusive of Alaska, amounts,
speaking roughly, to about 5000, 900
square miles. One-third of this Mr..
Giffen deducts as uninhabitable but if
ever the rest of the country becomes as
populous as Western Europe, the
Americans will soon find means of
utilizing and fertilizing their sage
brush and alkali deserts. Then, of
the remaining 100000 square miles,
he says that only about lOO,-
600 square miles remain to be culti-
vated, implying that it is the only tract
open to the agricultural immigrant.
But any one who has visited that 6great
sloven continent" as Nathaniel Haw-
thOihO coy ION hhuCilCd, Will kuOW tIldt
although the remaining nineteen-twen-
tieths have been alienated from the state,
and have become private property, only
a small percentage of this area is culti-
waited, in the sense in which cultivation
is understood in such countries as Eng
land, France, Holland and Belgium. In
the state of New York alone, despite the
big city at its southern extremity, there
are hundreds of square miles of wild
land-land which could and would be
cultivated if the pressure of population
needed it. Depend on it that the
United States, and still more Canada
and Australasia, will need an abundance
OF strong and willing hands for
many year to come, and
we only regret that the working
classes of our nation (that is, the Eng
lish, as distinguished from the Irish, the
Scotch and the Welsh) show at the pres,

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-The rumor
that the Philadelphia and Reading had

said Bonzano, latter the last convention

after this action notice was issued to the
conductors that they must either leave
the brotherhood or our SERVICE"
"We have had enough of labor organ

more union men. All conductors, engi-
neers, brakemen and firemen of the

AUSTRIAN AMAZONS.
Women of Galicia Wish to be Mustered
Into Military Service.

Can women fight? asks the New York
San. Listen to this petition of the
women of Galicia to the emperor OF
Austria. 1t is not altogether compli-
mentary to the sterner sex, but such as
it is it makes interesting reading, and
here it is in full:
"SIRE: We the undersigned women
of Galicia, bow down at the foot of the
throne, formulate this most earnest
prayer:
cat the present time, when each one,
young or old, is liable to military SER
vice, we women, often more robust and
courageous than effeminate men, be-
lieve that we should not be excluded.
Modern arms are simple enough and
easy enough to be handled by any one.
Therefore we pray your majesty to
create a corps of volunteer amazons. 1t
will be no charge upon the state, for we
will dress and equip ourselves without
asking for even the smallest pay.
"Let your majesty pick out for our
commander smart old veteran. We
will be happy, in case of war, to give up
our lives for our emperor and our
country"
Here follows long list of the fair
would-be warriors. But it seems that
the cruel emperor won't have them,
and there is talk of the ladies pre-
pairing for battle anyhow. On their
own hook they want to form their
corps. But, if they are not permitted to
enroll themselves as franc tireurs in
their own country, they can come here.
We have plenty of amazons here who
would welcome them with open arms,
and charm them with the pictures OF
certain of our illustrated papers, in
which men are cowhided by their sweet
hearts, shot by their wives, and kicked
around generally by their mothers-in-
law. This is the land for amazons. Let
the fair warriors of Galicia come here
and be happy.

Statistics show that remarkable de-

In 1868 one person in every 400 OF the
population was considered by the police
authorities to be under suspicion as a
thief, or as receiver OF stolen goods
while in 1888 the proportion was one in
871. The number of indictable offenses
reported to the police was smaller by 25
per cent in 1888 than twenty years
earlier. There is, however, one class of
crime which shows no diminution. but
rather an increase-those offenses which
spring from mems passions and are ac-
companied by violence. Indictments for
murder were much more numerous in
the last year Of the period named than
in the first, while criminal assaults on
women were more than twice as numer-
