california rs Place for Rural Homes.
There Is nc part of the world better adapted
oy all that nature can do, for comfortable rural
homes, thar Is California That this phase of
LIE has not more rapidly developed 10 chiefly
attributable TO the fact that so large portion
OF the parts of the state where permanent settle
ments were first founded was distributed in i'm
mense Spanish grants, making large holdings,
whose owners were ayerse to selling any OF their
possessions
The "whir'igig OF time," that makes all things
even, has greatly changed this feature. These
tracts are now being subdivided and sold, and a
home-sseker will find no difficulty in obtaining
at reasonable outlay place that must satisfy
the most exacting
1t 10 sometimes said that to live in California
one must be wealthy. On the contrary, there IL
no other place where q family OF moderate
means can make living more easily. or where
they can enjoy one-half the iuxuriea that are
within their reach in California. 1t certainly is
not wise for family to land there with moth
Ing ahead. One who has not been thrifty enough
to accumulate . little In other places would
hard vsucceSd here But little capital, however,
IL required. small tract of land, ten or twenty
acres, il ample; few acres In vineyard and
few in orchard. both carefully selected In re-
gard to varieties, and in from three TO Ave years
there ID assured an annual income of $l.5O0 to
$4,000 The work should and can be done all
within the family and this income will, there
fore, Do nearly all net Expensive buildings
are not necessary, a. the weather il
always mild. life in the open air being entirely
agreeable for ten months Of the year.
During the time the orchard is coming into
bearing enough can be raised between the trees
to furnish family with subsistence, and a.
there 10 no fruit crop to harvest on the home
place there il time, a. there IL always oppor.
tunity, for those who choose to find pleasant
snc remunerativs labor upon places already in
bearing, and this may add materially to the in
come.
Almost the entire Coast range Of mount
aims, especially from San Francisco to near
Monterey, with the adjacent foot hills, il ad.
mirably adapted to home making in this way.
The soil is fertile and well watered. the climate
all one can ask, and land in abundance can be
had at . low price and on easy terms.

A FAIRY LAMPLIGHTER.

An Ingenious Little Story OF the Last
Hours OF tho Poet Keats.
Affection often inspires ingenuity. In
a recent life of Joseph Severn the mar
rative of the artists care of the poet
Keats in his last illness includes q new
and graceful incident, says the Phila-
dclphia Record. Severn, worn out with
watching and tireless service, would
sometimes drop asleep and allow the
candle to go out, thus leaving the sick
man in darkness, which he dreaded.
Realizing that this was liable to occur,
Severn hit upon happy device to keep
the light still burning. One evening he
fastened Il thread from the bottom of
the candle, already lighted, to the wick
at the'top of another unlighted one set
ready near by. Not being sure that
the experiment would succeed, he had
not mentioned it, and when, later on,
he fell mapping as the first candle was
burning low, the invalid was too con-
sidcrate to awake him, but lay patient
ly awaiting the extinction of the flick
ering flame. Suddenly, just as he ex-
pected gloom and blacl1ness, the con-
Meeting tfrcad-too fine and distant
for him to sec-caught fire and tiny
spark began to run along it. Then he
walked the slocning nurse with an ex-
clamation of j IL surprise.
"SevernI Scvern!" he cried. "Here's q
little fairy lamplighter actually lit up
the other candlc!"
But it was only the good fairy Of
many sick rooms, loving forethought,
that lighted the candle.

THE SHOP GIRLS OF PARIS.
Their Condition Described ~ Ono OF
. Great Hardship.

Great Hardship.
The new order of things in France,
which is to emancipate the workers and
free everybody from everything, includ-
ing, in one conspicuous case, even work,
is apparently for men only. The
chamber of deputies recently refused,
practically, to extend to women work.
ers the law for the regulation of the
conditions of work in workshops, dis
guising the refusal under the form of
an adjournment of the matter on the
preteXt that the grievances of the wom-
en- are not yet ripe for discussion. OF
course, women have no votes. The
shop girls of Paris held a meeting at
the Bourse du Travail recently to pro-
test against the action Of the chamber.
The condition of the Paris shop girls is
described as one of great hardship.
They have to be in the shop from thir-
teen to fourteen hours day, receive
very small pay, and are expected to
dress well. At some few stores, us the
Bon Marche, their. circumstances are
more pleasant, but in general the girls
in the great stores have hard time.
They arc compelled to stand all the
time they are at work, and the air of
the stores is far from exhilarating.
Skilled work girls in France, says
the New York Sun, are much better off
than those in stores. Statistics pre-
sented at the congress femineste by
Mime. Vincent few days ago show
that out of 1O,352, 900 artisans in France
there are 4,415,000 women, who receive
in wages or dividends nearly $500, 0,O00,-
900 year. They, of course, receive
much less in proportion to the work
they do than the men, but notwith-
standing this fact they draw thirty-five
per cent. of the entire sum spent in
wages. In Paris there arc 5000 women
doing business on an independent foot
ing, and of 1858 suits judged last year
by the council of prudhommes 1914
concerned workwomen.

There are some very curious fisheries

Zone of the most remarkable Is the

ashore and boiled In big iron vats, after
q rude fashion, holes being soooped out

which are built up with stones. After
the shrimp have remained In boiling
