Discernment In Tame Pigeons.

they would show the same familiar

them a fair trial he procured a suit
Of clothes Of the same color as that
which my father wore.
Arrayed in his disguise, our skep-
teal friend, initiating my father
whistle as nearly possible, whistled
to the pigeons. Immediately they
left their perch on the housetop and
flew down to the hand held out to re-

The latest edition to the list of ex-

two enterprising individuals on Park

wear soiled aprons and preside over
travelling hotel, or rather the cul-

One of these men is the professor Of

pours into the hollow some sticky

No Words For the Women.

The librarian in one of the great
New England colleges lately showed
to a well known clergyman a list vi
its alumni, Boosting that he had oh
tanned an account of their present
occupation and homes. The great
majority had been poor boys, but
were now successful and prosperous,
having emigrated to the western and
middle states.
Very good" said the clergyman
dryly. "Now I should like to have
an account of the homes and lives of
the women-the mothers and un.
married sisters-who worked and
saved, starving themselves some
times, to send many Of these men tc

Very few poor men i'll New Eng.

The First Gold From California.

On Monday, the 9TH of May, 1S49,
there arrived in Boston the ship So
phia Walker, Captain Wiswell, from
Valparaiso the I'd of March previous.
She brought with her the first gold,
IN dust and bars, ever received in this
city direct from California.
The whole amount was something
more than $4,000. Of this amount,
Captain j. H. Spring, a passenger,
lately the commander of the ship
Huntress of New York, which was
sold on the coast; had $40, 900 in dust
on account of his owners, and the re-
mainder went principally to Balti-
more in other consignments. Three
of the bars, however, valued at $1S,-
900, were taken to Philadelphia the
following day to be converted into

AFTERWARD.

Why trouble my life any more?
Leave buried the love that bore YOU.
Why drag the dead past to nv door?
I've forgiven the wrong that YOU did me.
Forgotten 1t cannot be yet.
Silence and peace ask for.
Why vex me with idle regret?
Our lives are now lived asunder
That once were so near and SO sweet:
once IN your arms you pressed me,
NOW soW to soul only we meet.
where you now are that know not.
Yet surely know you are near.
four heart to my heart is calling
And pleading for memories dear.
Strange is the bond that stin binds us,
In spite OF the love that is dead:
Silence or space is as nothing
Between US who thought to be we'd
Why are you thinking of me, dear,
Long after our broken troth plight?
Something is telling me of you
feel you are lonely tonight.
Severed forever and always,
Yet never entirely free,
Why of our lost joy remind me,
Our happiness never to be?
Oh, my love. why will you call me,
And all our past pleasures renew?
Love of my life, first and only,
= All, why could you not have been true?

HYgienic Value of SOUPS.

If one would consult his health III

upon our tables at least once day.
There is not sufficiently high esti-
mate placed upon the hygienic quail
tiles of soups. They warm the stom-
ach and prepare it for the more solid
foods to follow. When weary and
tired nervously, they are the best
tonics and will often prevent severe
attacks of, dyspepsia. One should
never neglect them before hearty
dinner If soups are taken before
meals, no pills will be needed after

apt to neglect the soup and resort t.

the lady.

Then he examined the shoes, which
were extremely frail.

In packing, nine cherries fill each row.
This year they have been so small that
sometimes twelve were needed. OF these
Centennial cherries, six in row were
crowded in. All of these trees, however.
are young. being less than seven years old.
and young trees always bear the largest
fruit. These young trees bore on the
average between $4 and S. worth of fruit
this year
Early in the season many peach trees
were badly affected with curl leaf, until IN
some cases the foliage very nearly all fell
off. Later new leaveS came out. and now
the trees look healthier and cleaner than
for several years. just why this double
work was done is hard to say. II has cost
a great dea! this season to thin the
peaches, as the trees have been loaded.
Green apples are ready for use by the
thrifty housewife. Raspberries are ripe
and are unusually good. Very little of
such small fruits are raised here except in
home patches. as land is too valuable to put
to such q crop.
IL is predicted that within twenty years
all tillabe land in this valley will be con-
ve-ted into market gardens for San Fran
ciscn's supply. Little by little the potato
patches are growing. Every year mere
peas and cOrn-sweet corn-are grown.
Within eight months 1000 Portuguese
have come into this one county alone, aud
they are essentially gardeners. The most
of them have settled in or near San
/ Leandro and San Lorenzo, not more than
| 300 coming into this township. Slowly
and surely they are encroaching on the
hill-graZing land, renting on share as be-
ginning. and later buying few acres as
nucleus to more, as they earn the money.
They cut no small figure in many ways
in this county, in local politics and school
questions especially. To their credit it
may be said that. as a class, they are
SOBER industrious and law-abiding. The
majority are laborers ard their families
from the western islands. There are
also a great many families of education
and refinement, the most of them being
from Portugal. but they are greatly in the
minority
Socially Niles is quite dull just now, as

Correspondence of THE MORNING CALL.
Cherry picking is about over and the
crop is larger than was expected. The few
small growers have sent their cherries TO
commission men in San Francisco and
have realized very small returns-212 to
cents being average prices, while to Z
cents has been paid in former years. In
fact, Gamers early in the season paid the
latter prices this year. 1t seems very evil
dent that Gamers have entered into some
sort of combine. for it is well-known
fact that the crop is hardly up to the aver
age of former years, and that vast quanti-
ties over the average of other years have
been shipped East. The plan TO ship cher
ries to Chicago for display during certain
space of time in the fair is good one and
meets with the approval OF all growers.
Uufortunatelv, however, almost all the
cherries have been bought up here, and it
is impossible 10 secure any to send on.
There are few trees in the valley OF the
Centennial cherry. In size the fruit rivals
a plum, in texture it is firm and rich and
meaty and not 100 juicy; it would bear
transportation better than any other of the
good shippers. 1t is white, with pink
