MIR. HuNTrNGToN's SUCCESS.
From Life.

From Life.
Chow Mr.. Huntington Succeeded" was the
headline of recent newspaper paragraph
wherein a metropolitan reporter recorded what
he said were utterances OF Coils p. Hunting
ton, "the great railroad magnate," about his
own career. Being asked to what he attrib-
uted his success in life Mr.. Huntington is re-
corded to have replied, attention to my own
business" But he did not himself go so far as
to assert that he had succeeded in life. The re-
porter took that for granted. All that Mr.. Hun
tngton claimed was that he had made money.
Mr.. Huntington is an able man whose views
on most subjects are worth hearing. 1t would
be interesting to know his own opinion of his
own career, and his views as to whether he has
really succeeded in life or not. There is no
doubt that he has made money. When he
hired out in 1S49 at small salary in general
store in Sacramento he had no capital, but now
he is supposed to be master of somewhere be-
tween six millions and twenty.
Attention to his own business has brought
him abundance of money, but it seems fairly
questionable whether his title to success would
not have read more clear if at some period of
his life he could have afforded to have neg
lected his own business little, and paid
more attention to the interests of his neigh
bors. The opinion seems to obtain in the State
of California that unless Mr.. Huntington's
close attention to his own business can be
modified or in some way Offset, the population
of the State might as well abandon their claim
and go elsewhere to live. His job as president
of the Southern Pacific Railroad is to try and
make the people of California pay the interest
on the debt of that railroad system. The peo-
pie find this obligation onerous, chiefly be-
cause, as they insist, the railway owes about
three times as much as it cost, or as it is worth
They insist that the State OF California has
been run for years in the interest OF the South
ern Pacific Railroad, and they maintain that it
is high time that that, or some new railroad
system, should be run with reasonable regard
to the interests of the people of the State. So
they are doing their best to build some new
railroads for their relief.

A HINT TO CALIFORNIA.

1t is fact that much of the best fruit
land in California is contained in that broad
belt of rolling country known as the foot
hill region. Its excellence depends as much
on its elevation above the frost levels as
upon its fertility. It's climatic advantages,
OF course, are permanent, but its fertility is
not, for, in spite of all the care that may be
taken with its cultivation, it loses by the
washington process of the abundant rains
OF that region, more than it yields up in
production of fruit. This is serious prob
lem, which has existed for all time in all
countries, and the scientific spirit of the
age has set about to discover a solution
for it.
Professor Shaler, who writes on popular
scientific subjects so wisely and entertain
ingly, has called attention to this i'm
portant fact, declaring that the present
inefficient and ill-resulting methods of
blowing, especially upon undulating lands,
cost the agriculturists of the United States
$50 square miles of soil each year by erosion.
Quoting Professor Shaler's assertions
Secretary of Agriculture Morton has called
upon the students of the University OF
Nebraska for suggestions of an implement
pillow. He says:
In my judgment the coming implement
should spade the land and turn it over. as a
man who pushes the spade with his foot into
the ground and, drawing the spade out, turns
the soil upside down by the twist of his wrists.
Possibly rotary spader could be invented
Possibly an implement consisting of a large
number OF revolving knives could be made so
that in passing over the surface of the field il
should chop up the soil and sub-soil for two
feet in such manner as to render the percola-
ton OF the rainfall, down to the depth at which
the ground has been stirred. very easy and
perfect.
He declares that the pillow impacts every
furrow over which it passes and thus rem
ders the soil approximately impervious to
rain, and adds:
The draught of a pillow is downward to such
an extent that the full force of the teams
strength is exhausted in pressing the bottom oil
the furrow into polished trough for the con-
duction OF rain down the side-hills. We must
have some method of tillage which shall stir
up the soil and subsoil to the depth of eighteen
inches and more. If it were possible to loosen
the soil and subsoil down for three feet all over

CHOW far has man right to bury his tai
ents under a bushel?" For the last four years
and more this question has been continually
asked apropos of Rafael Joseffy, but no ques-
tions, argument or entreaties have been able to
lure Rafael away from his peaceful home on
the Hudson. In the very heyday of his popu-
larity the great pianist chose to retire from the
world, and devote himself to solitary practice
and to the instruction OF few favored pupils.
1t was known that he was not rich, but i'm
pressarios tried in vain to tempt him with
golden bait. Joseffy would not give one re-
cital, and refused all extravagant offers to play
even one solo in public. AS a reason, he SIM
ply stated that he was happy in his home, with
his piano and his pupils, and to all the wild
observation-disclosures that flew about regarding
the real cause of his retirement from public
life, Joseffy deigned to make no reply. At last
theimpresarios gave up hope, for even if they
had arranged to have him seized by main force
and dragged into the concert hall, all of them

is to offend the others, and in the meantime
the vessel launched by Wagner seems to have

troupe OF Chinese actors recently
went to try their fortune in Paris, and
the New Theater not only engaged the
almond-eyed artists, but had an operetta,
''The Green Dragon" written and COM
posed expressly for them by Michael Care and
Wormster. The critics, however, have not
taken very kindly to the imported style OF
vocalization. One of them says: Between the
French actors who took the parts of Chinese,
and the Chinese who took the part of French
men, the audience got quite confused. The
most amusing scenes were those written in
Chinese, OF which we could not understand
word. AS for the musical score, it was fairly
mediocre" The polyglot operetta has been
the sensation of the hour in Paris, however.
French newspaper is responsible for the
following: An operate troupe is gong to play
Wagner in Egypt, and in order that the African
public may better appreciate the beauties of
the works the impressario has made certain
notifications in the staging, ETC., OF the operas
in order to locahze them. For instance one of
the posters reads: 'The performance will con
clude with the camel-ride of the Valkyries."
