What Small Orchard Will Do.

Charles Wiliiams's orchard, lying ut
the head of Suisun Valley, about eight
miles from Suisun, makes splendid
showing of the profit to be derived from
an orchard located where there is the
right kind of soil and properly cul-
tlvatcd. In all there ure twenty
acres, of which seven and one half acres
are in vines. In the season of 1890 the
vines yielded $672. The gross sales of
three and one-half acres of peaches, one
third OF the trees of which did not bear
that year, were S14O0. There is one
acre of almonds which produced 1850
pounds, and from two and one half acres
OF almonds he gathered 667 pounds, all
of which sold at an average price of
fifteen cents per pound, or total of
S3H.55. When the short crop of the
past season is taken into consideration
this can be considered Il good yield

sales: For ego pounds of dried nectarincs

Shark and Alligator in n Fight

Inc surveying corps ut the mouth oil
the st. Sebastian River related to u gen
tlemal Il few days ago ut Titusvile, and
he to reporter yesterday, the particu-
lars of most desperate encounter be-
tween an alligator and IL shark mt the first
mentioned place. Tic engineers had
pitched their tents near the river and
just above its mouth, and were eating
their dinner under Il small clump OF
palm.
All Mt once their attention was attracted
to violent commotion in the water near
the shore. AZ first the bodies were so
active and made the spray, intcrmingcd
with blood, so heavy that they could
not make out what the objects were.
Finally, after about half an hour Of such
work, the monsters seemed to be grow
ing weak aud weary 1t was then dis
covered to be Il fight to the death be-
tween large alligator and man eating
shark. The former seemed TO be trying
to get to shallow water, while the shark
was equally us determined not to 90.
The fight was still going on, although
growing less vigorous all the time, when
one of the parties got his Winchester and
shot them both.
On pulling them ashore the alligator
was found minus a forclcg, bit oil as
smooth as if cut of with surgeon s
knife. The shark had numerous ugly
gashcs on his body which would probably
have killed him soon. The party skinned
the alligator and saved some OF the
teeth of the shark rs mcmcntocs of this
singular and sanguinary encounter

Eat Less rs You Grow Older.

The majority of people cat about a
third too much. The average American
really dimes three times day, with his
bccfsteak breakfast, chops for lunch and
roast beef at his six o'clock dinner. And
he does it all Mt his peril, for this habit
of overlooking, especially of eating so
much meat, is one of the provoking
causes of so many sudden illnesses and SO
many premature deaths. Three meals n
day OF hearty food is exhausting to all
the vital processes, and even the strong
est succumb finally to this "wasteful and
ridiculous excess. Americans arc ma
ton of brain workers, and cannot safely
indulge in high living. High thinking,
or constant use of the brain in any di-
rection, calls for plain but nourishing
diet. Brain-workers especially ought to
live sparingly. Luxurious feeders re-
quire much exercise in the open air and
freedom from the pressure on the brain.
For the aged. or even for those above
fifty, luxurious living and over-cnting
are especially dangerous. AS functional
activity lessons with increasing years. the
supply of food should dc decreased ac-
cordingly. The hardest races live on
the simplest fare. Frugality in diet,
that is, minimum amount of the right
quality, serves far more certainly to pro-
long life, insure health and well-being
than rich abundance and variety, which
ID accountable in large measure for the
ill-health and dissatisfaction OF the pres.
ent time.-Pitts6urg Dispatch.

SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.

There are ffty-two principals of schools
in San Francisco who DO not teach class
THE CALL does not profess 10 be sufficiently
well Informed as to the details of school
management to determine of its own knowl-
edge whether school principal can teach a
class and also perform the duties of prin-
cipal. The statement is made, however, on
good authority that in other cities principals
are required to teach. In this city their
duties are confined to the inspection of the
teaching of others. In considering the abil-
ity of school principal to perform the
duties Of that Office aud also teach, ii should
be borne in mind that the school-teacheTs
day is short A principal NAV possibly
teach during the five or FIVE and a half
hours Of the school day and attend to the
duties of principal before school and after
Business men generally are glad to get off
with nine or ten hours work. If the pupils
assemble at o'clock in the morning, it
would not be hardship to require the prin-
cipal to be in his room at to receive par
ents and listen to complaints. Possibly an
other hour after school would answer for
the performance Of duties attached to the
Office of principal. We do not exactly un-
derstand why San Francisco schools should
require so much more inspection than Bos-
ton or New York schools If there is such
reason we would like 10 know it. There is
10 disposition on the part of the public to
withhold dollar from the schools that is
necessary for their welfare.
