EMBRYO TURKEYS.
A Thief Steals Eggs Which Were
Three Weeks Old.

In comparison with other gentry OF
his ilk, the festive poultry thief of West
Los Angeles stands pre-eminent, as Mr..
VOORHEES,, who recently resided on Bon
ME Brae street, near Westlake park, has
a reason for knowing. A few days since
Mr.. VOORHEES, removed to other quarters,
block or two from his former home,
leaving at the latter place hen and a
sitting OF turkeys eggs. As the hen had
been proudly spreading herself upon the
eggs for some three weeks. incubation
had reached point at which it was not
deemed prudent to remove them. In
due course of time, Mr.. voorhies set out
with food fol the hen, and on the way
doubtless ruminated about the number
OF bouncing gobblers which he would
place upon the market, before Thanks
giving, but the reader can imagine his
disgust, on discovering that her hehship
was sedately sitting upon the empty
nest, the eggs having been stolen.

Magnitude of Truck Farming.

Truck farming is distinct from mar
ket gardening. 1t is carried on at dis
tance from market, water and rail trans
portation being necessary.
Upward of 100000, 900 is invested in
this industry, the products reaching a
value of 76,507, 155 on farms after pay
ing freights and commissions, and real
lied upon 534, ,440 acres of land. There
are employed in this industry 216, 6,765

Georgia, Alabama and Florida; along
the north and south lines of railroad in
the Mississippi valley from the Gulf to
Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas City, and
from the celery districts of Michigan
and Ohio.

produced in all the states. The follow

We confess TO apprehension when men

together in oath-bound societies, and arc
ordered to debate before the State Alliance
which sits with closed doors, great qucs

to a sense of humiliation when the prcsi

South Carolina, when the governor feels i

his people face to face, that he understands
a debate between the two Allianccmcn be-
fore the State Alliance is necessarily pri

Literary Notes.

"Thc ChautauQuans" is the name of a Sc
rial which will be begun in the New York
Ledger of July 25th. 1t was written
by John lIabbcrton, the popular author
OF ''llclen's Babies" and other wcll-known
works, who enjoys the cnviablc reputation
oi always writing good book. lie thinks
"Ihc Chauta,luuans' is the best story he
ever wrote, and we agree with him in that
opinion. Mr.. llabcrlon is an enthusiastic
supporter of the famous Chautauqrm cdu-
calional enterprise, and the characters in
his "ChautauQuans" arc all interested in
That wonderful movement. They arc so
vcrltnbly human, however, that, although
devoted to the improvement of their minds
lhry cannot restrain the affection Of their
hearts. They fall in love like other people
and, like other people, they find that the
course Of true love never does run smooth.
But what cannot the human mind and the
human heart accomplish when tho mind
thirsts for knowledge and the heart hun
gers for love! Mr.. llabcrton in "Thc
ChautauQuans," shows what the human
mind and the human heart can do, when
thus inspired, even under the most
distressing discouragcmcnts. We have
no hesitation in expressing our con-
vlctlon that every one who reads "Thc
Chnutauqunns" will be delighted with it as
well as cnlig ghtcncd by it.
