ANEW industry in the line of dyes is
now becoming of considerable impor-
lance. Lower California has long been
noted for the variety of dyes which it
produces, such as orchilla weed, ETC.,
but the torote tree bark, recently dis
covered. has come into great demand,
and several large shiploads have been
exported 10 Europe. AS yet there
seems to be but little demand for the ar.
ticle in the United States, although it is
cheaper than orchilla and other dyes;
producing in its natural state dark
red color, which is quite indeliblc. It
is now collected and sold in this mar
ket, and the supply seems to be cnor-

himself more than an amateur. He sang

New YOrk'S Italian Quarter.

Spring and fall are seasons of pro-
cessions and religious festivals Al
most every day, then. and sometimes
half dozen times in day, the Judge
and the baby may see some Italian So
cicty parading through the street.
Fourteen proud sons Of Italy, clad in
magnificent new uniforms, bearing
aloft huge silk banners, strut magni-
ticently in the rear Of II German band
of twenty -four pieces, and drum
corps Of dozen more Then, too,
come the religious professions, when
the little girls are taken to their first
communion. Six sturdy Italians
struggle along under the weight of a
mighty temple or pavilion, all made of
colored candles-not the dainty little
pink trifles with rosy shades of per-
forated paper, that light our old lady's
dining table, but mighty cand es, six
and eight feet tall. and rs thick as your
wrist, OF red and blue and green and
yellow, arranged III artistic combina.
tlons around II statue of the Virgin.
From this splendid structure silken
ribbons stream IN all directions, and
nj the end of each ribbon is little
girl-generally pretty little girl-in
white dress hedecked with green
bows. And each little girl leads by
the hand one smaller than herself,
sometimes fodder SO tiny that you
marvel that it can walk at all. Some
of the little ones are bareheaded, but
most OF them wear the square head
c!, i of the Italian peasant, such as
their mothers and grandmothers wore
in Italy. AT each side of the girls
marches an escort of proud parents,
very much mixed up with the boys Of
the families, who generally appear in
their usual street dress, some Of them
showing through it in conspicuous
places. And before and behind them
are bands and drum corps, and socie-
ties with banners, and it is all blare
of martial music and primary colors
the whole length of the street. Serb
ner's.
