A descrip'i-a of the ptsce ny Mr.J.
~ souid Fruit the year r"n"d

Ii there were railroad from Phoebe
to Los Angeles, the distance, which is
abuut 450 NILS, could be passed over in
day and night
Santa Barbara is about 100 miles west |
OF l. s Angeles, on the s'a shore. So 1t
We cuud take 'he train We could change |
in day from the frosty deserts OF Ne |
vada to the orange groves of the coast.
1t would he mistaken lea though,
to fancy that Southern California is, in
the m,ir, composed of orange groves.
The country is sqmts,arii, except where
irrigation has alloSe the Development
of orchards or where well situated land
permits us to do without additional
water.
Water is very valuable. There are
now over 100 books of the reports of de-
cisions of the California Supreme Court
and a con lerable fr ,ction of these is
taken up with litigation about water
rights. One case, the famous suit of
Lux against Haggin, over great ditch
in Kern County occupies nearly half
volume.
Along the strip of coast which fringes
Santa Barbara county on the south, the
air, fresh from the Pacific, and laden
with more or less moisture, enables the
farmer to grow his crops and lay out his
orchards without irrigating. At the
same time water is great help, espec-
tally to lemons and oranges.
In large orange grove you can pick
7 ripe fruit at any time of the year, but
! the bulk OF the crop is gathered and
shipped from December to March, while
lemons are much more evenly divided
through every month iu the year.
Olives toe, are one OF our great staples
and English walnuts another, so that the
country in the orchard regions has al
ways green look, for olives, oranges
and lemons never lose their leaves.
The greenne.s is helped by the fact
that the live oaks, which. are our princi-
pal forest trees are also evergreen.
The background of mountains however
, which rises at distance OF about five
miles from the shore gets very brown

The glove contest for 81, 900 at the
Pacific Athletic Club, San Francisco, the
18th inst between Joe Choynski OF
San Francisco and Billy Woods of Den
yer, resulted in Woods being knocked
out in the thirty y-fourth round. The re-
suit was as predicted in this column. 1t
was a great contest and Joe clearly out
classed the Denver man at all points.
Joe scored a clean knock down IN the
first round and from this on there never
was doubt as to the winner, notwith-
standing that Woods had all the advan'
tages, having longer reach, at least SIX
inches taller and weighing 20 pounds
more. Choynski was the favorite in the
betting at odds of two to one. good
deal of money changed hands at these
odds as the short enders thought they
had cinch. By defeating Woods this
Gle arly places Choynski at the top of the
heap of the light heavy weights, and it
will be hard to find man to lower his
colors. The only one now who would
stand any show with him is Maher, the
Irish champion and he would take the
losers end in match between them.
This man Maher must be coed one
as in the East they have not yet been
able to get man that has been able to
mix it up with him, and one of the
Athletic Clubs should try aud match him
with Choynski
Slavin and Mitchell are expected to
arrive from London this week and
Mitchell declares that he will force Cor
bett. This 'force" will not be necessary
at all as Corbett has forfeit of 81, 5O(
posted, challenging Mitchell to meet hin
in any style. The Olympic Club Of New
Orleans has offered purse of $l2, 900 fo
the two to meet in their club, but Mitch
ell will not fight there on account of tn
trouble he had after the Sullivan Kilrail
affair, and if the fight does come off, i
will, no doubt, take place in San Fran
cisco.
As for Slavin's talk that he is going t
challenge Sullivan, that is all done TO
advertising purposes, as he knows pei
fectly well that his match with jackson
which takes place in London next June
will prevent him from fighting any on
until that match is settled, and, to quot
an interview with Bob Fitzimmons as
the result Of a fight between Sulliva
and Slavin, he says: There would
only two blows struck, Slavin would g
one and the floor the other" Fitzy

Russian Servant Girls.

We have pleasant way of growing
and grumbling over the ineficiency of
our Mary AIMS and ELIAS, and consider
ourselves very badly used because they
do not come nearer the pinnacle of per-
lection, but the Russian servant double
discounts ours in vexatious incompe-
tency, and the Russian mistress has
trials beside which ours fade into insig-
niicance.
Every household has host of retain
ers. They go off to sleep at any hour in
the day. They annex anything within
reach, and truth is an unknown virtue
to them. A lady cannot help about her
house or she loses all caste with and au-
thority over her servants. She can only
scold and wait for the spirit of the do
nestle to move her toward the accom-
plishment of her duties.
The servant is expected to provide her
own mattress, and usually sleeps on the
kitchen stove in winter and out in the
yard in summer. The idea of providing
a room for her servants never occurs to
the Russian houselleeper.-New York
Sun.

The other dress is of pale blue cash.
mere, with double band, Swiss bodice
and sleeves of dark green yelutina. The
guimpe and puffs are of cashmere braid
ed with silver braid studded with small
black jet beads. The cashmere costs
about sixty cents a yard and requires
about Al yards, and II yards of velu-
tina, which is one yard wide. If velvet
is used it would need % yards, as it is
only twenty four inches wide.
After all, it ;ql depends upon the taste
of the lady whether she is we'll or i'll
dressed on small income. The power
of making her. own clothes, excepting
cloaks, and a complete understanding Of
herself are necessary, also thrift and
economy in taking care of her clothes
and judgment-in buying; but the best
general guide iss.get the best you can,
take care OF btsand get everything to

dressed, and, what is better, she need
not lay out this amount all at once, but
by buying each article as it becomes
necessary, the burden is lightened. Such
jacket, dress and parasol should last
one season at least for best, two if the
wearer is reasonably careful of them.
A good cheviot or camels hair in black
or some dark color is suitable for almost
any occasion.
Most fashion writers revel in the con-
temptation of magnificent and costly
gowns, ignoring the mass of everyday
dresses that are worn and the fact that
the very persons who wear the superb
costumes they describe don't wear them
always. There are thousands of women
gowned in plain and comparatively in
expensive woolens to one who wears the
purple and fine linen, SO feel that it
would be offending the taste of the ma
jority of my gentle readers if tried to
mislead them into thinking that in the
fashionable world it is always "silk
gowns for breakfast and satin ones for
tea"
Another great reform has been
wrought in this age Of common sense in
dress, and that is that young girls have
never been so we'll dressed as now. By
that I mean so simply and suitably for
their age. In this connection are three
young girls. The one alone wears a
plain princess cut gown Of diagonal
chevjot, with sleeves guimpe and foot
band of faille to match. This band at
the bottom gives faint suspicion tina.
the dress has by this means been length
ened. If it has not, it could be if the
young wearer grows tall. 1t is very
neat, plain and yet quite dressy enough.
Any wooden goods would be pretty made
so. Old silk, surah of any kind can be
utilized, and few nail heads here and
there take off the old look. This is for a
girl from thirteen to sixteen.
The other two are for girls of from
sixteen to eighteen. The smaller one
has plain skirt of Powered India silk
or challie or any other rather light wool
en- material, made with narrow founce
all around the skirt. A ruffle of the
same, herring boned in some other shade
than the goods, makes dainty finish

The sod of this dull earth, and that the past
Entombs the heroic dead, whose deeds will

We set upon the ancients-they who bore
The honors of the fight, Still we hold fast
Traditions old, nor think our warriors cast
In the heroic mold of those of yore.
Yet this degenerate age" has its great men;

But we unjust, withhold our praises when
We see about us valorous deeds and bold
And SO we wrong brave age when we say
