There are many pleasant hotels in
California, but when crowded, as they
are at this season, Of course they have

cannot always succeed. 1t would be
we'll to engage rooms several weeks
ahead if the reader is coming to the
coast. .
I never saw such q rush in search OF
health in my life. 1t takes a pretty
healthy person to 60 In search or his
health, l often think.
The train ahead of ours had 10 sleep
Ing cars and 3 engines, besides the
coaches. The sleeping cars were so full,
too, that i in one car, filled almost en-
tirely by ladies, they were dressing for
over $50 miles in the morning. One lady
had to brush her hair on the Oakland
ferry. She said that when she ONE

lists Into two classes--viz, male and fe-
male. The female Chinaman goes bare
headed. The male wears q hat. Lately
the Chinese have been pretty busy as
s~assinating each other and thus endear-
ing themselves to the people OF San
Francisco.
Il I'm writing this letter at o table in
the reading room Of the hotel, and n
man with 1.-The whole arm movement" is
writing at the other side Of the table. /
Judge he learned TO write on the side OF

IL could not move much while he was

remarks.)
Recently I met Mr.. Hatch, tho big
gest %frultgrower on the coast, | am told.
He began to hort about IS years ago and
was reputed to have at that time about
| $40. 900, but taking me by the arm and
leading me out to the Cliff House, where
the sound of the breakers drowned his
voice. he admitted to me that he did not
have that much.
Now he is getting an income OF $685.
600 per ~year-Sl,000 per day for the
year, including Sundays. Every four
years, when there Is an extra day with
no income, the poor man eats an orange.
This proves that any young man with
perseverance and $4,000 may in IS
years by industry and economy, and by
knowing as much as MIR. Hatch, pro-
vided the red scale does not break out
on a large scale In his orchards, be far
beyond the reach OF want.
It was thought for many years that
Mr.. Hatch was the author OF the piece
| entitled "Monuments of Human Gran
deur Perish" but afterward 1t was dis
covered that he copied 1t from a Fourth
| Reader.
During the busy season Mr.. Hatch is
compelled to hire help in picking the

fruit which one notices on the top OF the
basket.

especially tropical and subtropical trees.

foliage canceling their dates. The pep

One Of them said that down the road
a little ''furder" he would show US a
strange sight. Il was a big hole in a
tree. The tree was one Of the Miamosa
trifollatun giganticum, il my memory
serves me at all creditably. This tree
during a continual rain, which some
times occurs In the Yosemite, expands,
the cells filling with water rapidly and
charging.
Daniel Walton, q low and vulgar man,
was hunting through the valley In the
spring Of 1878 with I'll success, having
killed nothing but grizzly bears, all OF
which were too large to tote home. As
