Sam Francisco In 1s4s.

In 1848, just before gold had been dis
covered in California, the city of San
Francisco hadsa population of $50 all
told and consisted Of about 200 wooden
buildings. In the spring of 1S4S there
began to be rumors Of gold discoveries
in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas,
and presently actual miners appeared in
town showing small parcels of gold dust.
Then came an era of wild speculation
and extravagant prices. Common la
borers were getting ten dollars q day
and ordinary mechanics twenty dollars;
men who had lived on five dollars q
month now spent hundreds; men who
had been idlers formerly were now
among the most industrious, and men
who had before never wasted day be-
came loungers and gamblers. The mad
scramble for wealth manifested itself
on all sides. In the first six months Of
1849 15, 900 souls were added to the popu-
lation of San Francisco, and by the end
of the year the Pacific coast metropolis
had over $4,000.
And how did they all live? In frame
houses Of one story, more commonly in
board shanties and canvas tents, pitched
in the midst Of sand or mud and various
rubbish and strange filth and Reas, and
they slept on rude cots, or on "soft
planks" under horse blankets, on tables,
counters, floors, on trucks in the open
air, in hunks braced against the weather
boarding, forty Of them in one loft; and
SO they tossed and scratched and swore
and laughed and sang and skylarked.-

sor has found at one point in New South
Wales specimens of no less than
thirty scale pests. He hopes to find
a parasite for each and every one
of them, and will send them to US il
necessary. His work in the colonies has
been very successful, and it is passing
strange that unfavorable reports should
come of the parasites after their safe ar
rival here. There is something radically
wrong, and the sooner we get to the
bottom of it the better. Professor Koe-
belle discovered the white scale parasite,
and we have no doubt his recent dis
coveries are just the thing for the des.
truction OF the red and black scale. We
can imagine no reason why they should
not already have taken their places as
pest exterminators, unless it be on &C
count of improper handling after their
arrival here.-TAnaheim Gazette.

The Secret Of Happiness.

choee white lead paint. It was mixed
with linseed oil to the consistency re-
quired for heavy outside coat in house
painting, and applied to the young
trees just after they had been planted.
The soil was removed 90 a. to make
the application reach an inch or two be-
low the surface, and the trunk was
painted twelve to eighteen inches above
ground. At the end of the first sum-
mer careful examination revealed few
larve; but no injury had been done, as
they appeared to come from eggs de-
posted late in the season and had not
fully entered the sap wood, though they
were working inward through cracks in
the paint caused by the growth of the
tree. A fresh coat Of paint was applied
in the autumn, and served to entirely
prevent injury from mice and rabbits
during the winter, and fully protected
the tree until the next autumn when q
few borers were found again, but no in
jury had been done.
Thus the application made in the fall
lasts year and protects from vermin
and borers, and the outlay for labor and
material is about per cent per tree per
annum. During the three years we
took, | think, just thirty larvse from
over 100 peach trees growing in the test

rent, which would enable the exempt
ion OF improvements from taxation and
tighten the burdens OF the producing
classes. This kind Of q policy would
raise wages and lower prices within
certain limits, while opening unlimited
opportunities for development and en-
ployment of industry. Lowering the
rates OF interest would benefit all kinds

ciety ever and always. A high tax on
unoccupied land held for speculation
would compel its sale or abandonment to
people who would use it, thus creating
an outlet for labor and removing the
over supply. A tax on incomes from
rents would return to the public treas
ury the wealth that properly belongs to
the people and relieve other things
from taxation.
It would not come in conflict with any
external policy Of protection by means
of tariff. The one is an external policy
relating to foreign affairs, the other is
an internal policy relating to internal
affairs of capital and labor. The truth
is that the internal evils have been lost
sight of in the debate about foreign
policy Of protection or free trade, which
are irrelevant to the most Important
issue, which Is that of unfair distribu-
ton Of wealth internally.
The result Of q policy Of this kind
would be TO make it easier TO get living
honestly by productive labor, and not 60
easy to accumulate immense fortunes
by indirect taxation Of the people.
Il would make better times for the null
titude, bring plenty and prosperity to
the homes Of the poor, and injure mo-
body. This is kind of protection that
would protect the masses of the people
from internal injustice; and the party
that makes the most rapid strides
toward some definite programme that
will protect the people from evils that
are becoming intolerable will be the
party that will take the lead in the fu-
ture. The party that will do this
will be the party that represents
the genius of American progress, and
will draw the best elements of all classes
into it's ranks. Politics cannot long re-
main the only branch Of business which
is incapable of using modern methods in
adapting itself to the increasing wants
of civilized people.

How Cinnamon Change Their Costumes
When Hired as Interpreters.
When a Chinaman acquires thor
ough knowledge of the English language
his services become almost indispensa-
BILE to the government authorities as an
interpreter, and he receives liberal COM
pensation for his labor.
There are two or three Mongoliaas in
this city who do large business in this
line, and are very frequently employed
where their brother countrymen arc
charged with opium smuggling or even
with trying to smuggle themselves
across the Canadian border. &
A short time ago was present at
hearing before Commissioner Shields in
the case Of a young Chinaman who had
been arrested while stealing across from
Canada in the northwestern part of the
state. The testimony in this city was
being given by q Chinaman who claimed
to be the father of the arrested man. In
order to take this testimony it was nee
essary to employ an interpreter. The
government officials not only had their
English talking Chinaman present as
the recognized interpreter, but another
and equally as we'll English talking
Cinnamon sat near by,whose duty it
was to keep the officials Informed as to
the fullness and correctness of the inter
pretations.
The Chinannan who officiated as the
official interpreter was a rather good
looking Mongolian, with well trimmed
hair, standing collar and well fitting
American clothing. In one hand he held
q new pair of tan coIored kid gloves,
while his derby hat hung on his right
knee as it crossed the left leg. He was
a natty fellow and evidently one who
was making success of life. 8.

Picking the, .Pruae. /

The prune is picked from the tree when
fully ripe, which is indicated when it
passes from light reddish to purple, and
BY the whitening condition Of the fruit.
1tis very important that the fruit be
thoroughly ripe, or else when dried it
will be devoid of that rlch flavor 80
essential in marketable fruit. In most
sections the prune upon ripening has q
tendency toidrop to the ground, which
fruit is gathered and pr0Coheed with the
rest oftthe crops The piking Of the fruit,
simple as the process seems, is one of the
most particular things in prune culture.
Many Of the leading growers 20 over
their orchard eightUr ton times, gather
ing the ripeBt fruit each time. People
are kept continually at work in the sea-
son gathering the ripe fruit. Starting
at one end Of the orchard they work It
over, and by the time they have got
through the part first gathered il ready
fort the second picking, and this is re-
peated until the entire crop ia harvested.
The object il to get the fruit in it's prime
.oondition-rich, full, meaty and thor
oughly ripe. If it dries little on the
tree and begins to shrivel, it is none the
worse. The fruit is usually allowed to
drop on the ground, from whence It is
gathered, and no greater assistance is
given it in falling than the gentlest tap
on the trunk Of the, tree; q severe
shaking even is not allowed. At the
last picking the fruit that remains on
the tree is gathered With that which
has fallen. BY this method the fruit
is assured of positive ripeness, is solid i,
and is charged with saccharine matter
go desirable in the cured article. The
prune will generally drop from the
tree when fully ripe, and will not rot
even IT LETT on the ground under the
tree for several days. A the fruit shows
indications Of ripeniIg, the ground un-
der the trees is generally cleared of all
rubbish and worthless fruit, 30 that
when the mature fruit does fall It can be
gathered by itself, free from rubbish.
Sometimes eheet is placed upon the
ground under the tree and the ripe
fruit is shaken into IL, after which the
sheet is picked up by the corners and
the fruit turned into boxes and loaded
on . wagon to be taken to the drying
ground.-lB. n. LelOnR.
