not disdain to avail themselves OF its solace.
When they became wearied by the gravity
and etiquette of the court they frequently
INDUCED in revelry In their apartments
after supper. On one occasion when at q
late hour the Dauphin had left the card
table he heard a noise in that part Of the
palace and went to find the cause. To his
amazement he saw the ladies smoking and
Laughing, and discovered that they had
borrowed their pipes from the officers Of
the Swiss guard.
The first mention of tobacco smoking in
hrench literature Is in a letter Of Nine. de
Maintenon, In which she says 1.-The Dau-
phiness after the excitement and fatigue Of
appearing in gala dress to receive the
negotiate terms of peace snuffed and smok-
ed tobacco. and found herself the better for
doing so.'
In England ladies were smoking before
King James I issued his "counterblast to
tobacco" His efforts did not check the per-
ntcious habit. for later Prynne. the famous
Purttantcal inveigher against stage plays,
tells us that in his time ladies' at the
theater were sometimes Offered the to-
apples. which appear to have been the
staple commodity, as oranges were after

In 1863 Moll King died. notorious courte-
san. who was also fortune teller. pick
pocket, thief, receiver Of stolen goods and
forger, as occasion demanded. Her most
notable exploit was robbing the parlia-
mentary Gen. Fairfax on Hounsiow Heath.
for which she narrowly escaped hanging.
Granger says: 'She died of the dropsy in
the seventy-fifth year Of her age. and would
probably have died sooner II she had not
smoked tobacco. in the frequent use of
which she long INDUCED herself" E. 8.

OF them have rotted away from the action

the room. 1t is a mass Of drip stone, with
long sonorous stalactites still attached,
which give out clear musical notes ranging
from treble to deep bass. The chimes on
the right of this room are of a similar
formation. but sound, when struck, with a
rich bell-like tone. and to hear them at a
distance Is treat
The different forms of "drapery' are ex-

Further along the halls are shown the
groups OF stalagmitic statuary, Christ

objects of especial interest here are the

In Collins grotto the forms hanging from

Irrigation in California.
From the November Californian.

Inc question as to the value OF irripat ion
in any region Is not to be determined nv
the amount Of its annual rainfall II is the
seasonaoie distribution. as much as the
quantlty OF rain, that makes the agricul-
lure secure and enables the cultivator tn
dispense with irrigation In many local..
Ties In California the idea has prevailed
that because crops Of winter wheat ana
barley can be grown successfully without
irrigation such use Of water is not de.
sirable for general rural development. But
II Is to be noted that in those districts of
the state In which no irrigation is prac-
uced, and where the lands are devoted To
wheat and barley, almost exclusively little
or no progress has been made in the mast
ten or twelve years. Dry farming has
tended to decrease the number Of farmers
and to enlarge the area Of farms through
the absorption of small farms by the large
ones: The substitution Of machinery for
nand labor has helped to bring about this
unfortunate condition of things Small
farming for wheat has become Improbable.
and the tendency Of wheat growing is still
to enlarge rather than to decrease the area
or ranch properties. On the other hand
where irrigation has been introduced upon
plains formerly devoted exclusively to the
production of grain, remarkable improve
ment has been brought about, as in the
southern part of the San Joaquin valley
There the construction of irrigation canals
and the boring of artesian wells has made
wonderful changes for the better in popu-
lation and wealth. The irrigated districts
are peopled by small farmers and fruit
growers. whose prosperity has built up
large towns and given largely increased
traffic to railroads. Southern California,
likewise. presents marvellous proofs of the
great advantages Of irrigation over de-
pendence upon rainfall. Similar examples
of prosperity and progress through irriga-
ton are to be found in scattered localities
of northern California, as at Florin, Brigh-
ton, Woodland. Vina, Oroville Newcastle,
the Santa Clara valley and numerous other
localities, particularly in the foot hills on
the eastern border Of the Sacramento val
ley.

flight Of steps leads to the Elfin Ramble,

hundred feet long and at places seventy-five
feet deep. At the further end, out Of reach
OF the electric light. shines the tall specter,
a snowy-white stalactite, apparently sus-
pended over the depths
Returning along the dizzy edge, visitors
ascend steps to a balcony and are shown
stalactitic draperies resembling scarfs. They
are all or exquisite color and are striped
In brown with a perfect eveness, which
follows the symmetrical folding In every
detail From one Of the sixteen "scarfs'

draperies trickles water, silvered In the

Intrusion. As the guide holds his candles

The Giants Hall Is 1s0 feet below the
surface and contains columns and forms of
immense dimensions The ceiling is forty
feet high. To the left Is the snow bank the
stalagmitic statue Of Santa Claus. and the
frozen fountain, all Of pure white. Coming
TO the Saracen's Tent, one sees great yell
lowish draper!es depending from the ceiling
thirty feet above. nearly inclosing a circu-
lar space m the form of tent From here
the visitor can get a good view Of the
Cathedral, the Organ Room and part of
lower Giants Hail. In the Cathedral the
size and beauty of the formations arising
from the floor, and of those depending from
its dome-like ceiling, are remarkable One
can easily imagine himself standing In a

The Bachelo Girl.


About thirty years ago. or more when q
young girl IN a family had reached the ripe
and mature age OF twenty-five or thirty
and lived until that time unmarried, a fiPt
in society went forth. after that period she
deserved the cognomen OF the old maid.
and in those days the title was accepted
without reservation, and the term laid on
the shelf was many times unhappily used.
This old-fashioned girl being simply aiId
purely educated, whilst the pursuits OF the
age were narrow where the advancements
of women were concerned. a responsibility "a
life was needed after the first blush %
youth had banished. II was then that this
ripe and full grown woman became q per
son Of importance in & family. From yeSy
to year the boys and girls left the parentne
roof for a nest all their own. Whilst tht
clever helper remained to be the solaos
and comfort IN the household and Ill tie
position of the useful member. she actev
her part well, with dignity and cheer thst
was unrivaled. Far and near she w.s
termed the Angel of Mercy. The saint
who was proof against all difficulties. The
harbinger of peace that Strengthened oue
all the stony paths and brought clear sun
shine amid the troubled waters in life to
those who were sick, tinnid and sorrowful.
