Nothing Saved.

A little boy was walking with his father one day. As they trudged along the father saw an old horseshoe lying in the road. and bade the boy pick it up and take it along.
 The lad looked at the shoe carelessly and replied that it was not worth car rying. whereupon the father said noth- ing more, but quietly picked it up him. self. He pretty soon sold the old iron for a penny at roadside smithy, and invested the coin in cherries.
 The day was hot, and presently the man noticed that his son was begin ming to cast longing eyes upon the box of cherries. but did not offer any 10 his son. He made pretense of eat ing them. and dropped one to the ground as if by accident
 The boy picked it up quickly and ate it with relish.
 A little further on another dropped. and this. too. the lad lost no time in securing. So one by one all the cher ries were dropped and picked up.
 Well" remarked the father, when the last ono had been eaten. 'it did not pay to pick up that horseshoe. per- haps; but if you had stopped once for that you wouldn't have needed to bend twenty times for the cherries"
 The moral of the story is an old one, but more generally known than heed- ed: Lazy folks take the most pains.

A Curious Custom!

There is an old ccremoney in Iceland of showing civillties to strangers pre- valent in the remote rural districts. It is that the ladies of the house shall pull of the trousers of the fatigued and dis consulate travellers. The theory is that. as the rain may be expected to be al. ways falling, the trousers must be wet at bedtime. and as the regular days pony ride is about 40 miles the advent urer from other lands should be exceed. ingly weary, and i'll need of gentle en- eouragement and assistance. It is thought, therefore. that 1t is nothing but an act of politeness and true con- cern for the welfare of the traveller that the most agreeable person in the house shall undrcss his legs l may add that there is not among the leelanders who perform this solemn rite the remotest suspicion that there is any indelicacy in the performance. It is related of the most pious and famous missionary who ever visited the island, Tender son. who distributed bibles throughout the island fifty years ago, that this bus mess of pulling of his trousers was sad embarrassment 10 him, and some- Niidt HLtNtHitNi itt NtNtltJilltHk VI vital piety. He could not refuse to ac- cept the hospitality of the good people among whom he distributed the good book, for which they were greatful in the extreme. and he finally managed compromise and systcmatized it. He insisted upon first rolling himself in a blanket and then upon unharnessing himself as to suspenders and waist band, and then. and not until then, he allowed the ladies to seize the of- lending garment by the straps (which he uniformly wore to keep his trousers legs down when riding) and pull them off So while they took the trousers in triumph he spared his modesty all the rudeness of the terrible shocks that would otherwise have been inflicted. This philosophical and ingenious min- ister published large volume about his troubles in Iceland. and the story he tells about his trouble with his trous. CTS is very droll, and in fact is quite pathetic, profusely garnished with pious reflections. -Ledger.

 And yet you have the boldness to offer yourself as an aSpirant to my favory" she says. "In truth, sir, you value yourself highly!"

 At this point he deems it wise to change the subject; and, as he halts rather lamely in his conversation. at a loss to find some topic that may in- terest her or advance his cause, Sir Ad- rian and Dora pass by the door of the conservatory.
 Sir Adrian is smiling gayly at some little speech of Dora's. and Dora is looking up at him with a bright expres- sion i'll her blue eyes that tells of the happiness she feels.
 "Ah, l can not help thinking Adrian is doing very wisely" observes Arthur Dynecourt, some evil genius at his el- bow urging him to lie.

 You pretend ignorance, no doubt smiling. But one can see. Adrian 8 marriage with Mrs. Talbot has been talked about for some time amongst his intimates."
 A clasp like ice seems to seize upon Miss Delmaine's heart as these words drop from his lips. She restraints her emotion bravely, but his lynx-eye reads her through and through.
 "They seem to be more together to- night than is even usual with them,' goes on Arthur blandly. Before you honored the room with your presence, he had danced twice with her, and now again. It is very marked, his attention tonight"
 As a matter of fact Adrian had not danced with Mrs. Talbot all the eyen- ing until now, but Florence, not hav- ing been present at the opening of the ball, is not in q position to refute this, IS he we'll knows.
 If there is anything in her friend ship with ST Adrian, feel sure Dora would have told me of it," she says slowly, and with difficulty.
 And she hasn't?" asks Arthur with so much surprise and incredulity in his manner as goes fur to convince her that there is some truth in his state mcnt. Well, we'll" he adds, "one can not blame her. She would doubtless be sure of his affection before speaking even to her dearest friend"

 Maybe week; maybe year or two" answered the jeweler.
 But this one has lasted four or five years, said the man, protestingly.
 Yes; but they don't make that kind of spring nowadays. It really does seem as though they had lost the art of tempering watch springs. sent out a hundred dollar watch the other day. brand new, just from the factory. and the spring broke within twenty-four hours.

SAN BERNARDINo RAIsINs.
An Estimate of the Crop in the Ad-
joining County.

An Estimate of the Crop in the Ad-
joining County.
The time has now arrived when an
intelligent and reliable estimate may be
made of the. San Bernardino county
raisin crop, as it is fast arriving at ma
turity, and in exceptionally early locali-
ties here at Riverside ripe grapes of the
Muscat of Alexandria variety (the raisin
grape), are to be found. AS the result
of information gathered from all the
most reliable sources, and from the ex-
pressions of our leading raisin packers
and growers, we give it as our judgment
that the raisin grape crop in this county,
for the present season, is without any
exception, the finest ever produced
here. All that is now required to con-
vert these muscat grapes into raisins,
equal to the best ever imported from
Spain, is dry and moderate weather (an
average of about 80 degrees as the hot
test) from the date OF picking (Which
will probably begin, in the earliest sit
uations, about September 15th), until
the raisins are cured and put into the
sweat box.
Whether Salton lake will increase the
liability to showers during the curing
season, as so many fear, remains to be
seen; but the unexpected happens
oftener than predictions of weather
prophets.
A conservative estimate OF the raisin
crop of San Bernardino county for 1891,
if all saved, puts the probable pack for
the different districts as follows:
