DOMESTIC SERVICE,

BY moderninvention and device house
keeping service is greatly lighter than it
was twenty-five years ago. Why is it,
then, that women employed in domestic
service are rapidly lessening in number?
The question is disturbing the minds of
our most prominent sociologists, and
various theories are advanced as to causes
and results.
Our explanation is a very simple one
it is the result of an abnormal and dan
gerous growth of false pride, and all
society is industriously engaged in Guilt
waiting it. We say dangerous because do
nestle service is better paid than almost
any other manual labor; it is capable of
being made more comfortable and less
laborious than most others; it more con-
serves health and well-being than any
other; but girls flee from it to harder,
more wearing and laborious employment,
simply and solely because they irration-
ally hold business to be the more re-

one of the most helpful and graceful of

a good home Is in an atmosphere that

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to 500 per Acre.


The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehana County, for tho
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land mbraces lands from first
class sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
Iahd OF falr average quality, ana is offered at
from $40 TO $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 100, $50 and 800 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the Dav
ment OF interest only for three years. at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF i've equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
clpal is to be paid for three years. and then
tne purchaser is to have i've years in which to
pay HVe equal annual tnstallInents, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land OF fair average quality at $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from sec to
S1Oe an acre. An examination of the land
subject Of this advertisement Will prove TO
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

"SHAKEsPEARE's women are of them
selves a refutation of the Baconian
theory" says Professor Rolte, in his
third paper on the subject in the January
arena. That is the strongest of argu-
ments yet advanced in defense of Shake
speare. Bacon never could have created
such characters as Queen Margaret,
Goneril, Lady Macbeth, Juliet, Perdita,
Hero, Ophelia, Cleopatra, Regain, Mrs.
Page, Viola, Sylvia. katherine, Portia
Rosalind aud Marina. Bacon was not
equal, philosopher that he was, to the
creation of such a group of characters,
representing the whole range and variety
of womanly character.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The Visalia Morning Delta has just en-
tered upon its second year, with every
evidence that the publication of daily
paper in that place was a wise venture.
1t has been a success from the start, and
It's proprietors have reason to congratu-
late themselves, while the people OF Tu-
Iare County are fortunate in having such
paper.
The Rio Vista Neaos has just celebrated
another anniversary, entering last week
upon the fourth year of its publication.
The News is an excellent paper, and is of
vast importance to the large and scattered
population of the river delta section. 1t
deserves the warm support it evidently
receives, for IL is bright. enterprising and
newsy. 1t gathers up vast amount OF
news which is interesting TO many people
who live in other portions of the State,
and hence has more than local import
ance.

COMMENDABLE ACTION.

The Assembly wisely killed the bill
that proposed to put letters upon
local elf-government in the matter of
fixing the rate of liquor license taxes. 1t
is now on reconsideration, but ought TO
be refused passage.
This bill to prevent cities and counties
and towns from levying such license
rate as their condition demands, has
cropped up at every Legislature for eight
or ten years. its bait has been bettered
at each session by an increase of the per-
missible charge, but the people have not
been deceived and have invariably mani
tested their antagonism to any measure
that puts local government further away
from them.
The Assembly should adhere to its
resolution to keep this bad bill under its
heel now that it is there. The legislators
cannot afford to say to the people of cities
and towns, you are incapable of Judging
what is proper tax upon special priv
ileges in your community; you shall not
be judges of what measure of community
expense your citizens engaged in
expense-creating business shall bear.n
Is there any Legislature in the Union
that will undertake to say that?
THE Assembly has recognized very
promptly the wisdom of having some
authoritative literature of State resources
and expository of California claims at
the Worlds Fair. The Worlds Fair
Commission, with singular unwisdom.
allowed its fund to be exhausted without
making such provision. To have at Chi
cage a California exhibition and not
line of matter to perpetuate the exempli-
fcation of our products, and to supply
genuine seekers for detailed information,
will be very humiliating, and will de-
prive the State of much of the expected
benefit of the Exposition. The bill to
I'LL the breach commits the whole mat
ter to the Governor, and the pamphlet is
to be issued by him, and in his discre-
ton, and to be distributed as he directs.
This will give it State authority and i'm
press its statistical and descriptive pages
with verify. The Assembly suspended
its rules and passed the bill almost unan-
imously and sent the bill to the Senate
yesterday, thus testifying to its sense of
the urgency of the measure
