Growing Tobacco in California.

f. G. Hahn, who manages the big
Altschul ranch, which is situated
about four miles north of Livermore,
has proven beyond a doubt that to-
baceo can be grown in this county of
excellent quality and in any quantity.
For some time past Mr.. Hahn has
been making experiments in tobacco
culture. He has long since become
convinced hat a soil that will grow
French prunes, almonds, lemons,
oranges, walnuts and olives a pro-
duce tobacco. Last year enough sue
cess was attained to Justify the plant
ing of a large crop, and it is now in
excellent condition. 1t is located in a
warm belt and was not affected by the
recent cold spell. 1t has thrived be-
yond the planters expectation, and a
healthy second crop is now growing.
This success. early in the spring. is
seldom attained.
The future of the tobacco industry
must depend in great measure on the
peculiar. delicate flavor of the leaves
and experiments IRE now being carried
out with the soil that it is claimed will
make California tobacco equal to the
finest brands. For some time the to-
bacco plant has thrived in the southern
part of the State. but a crop of any
size has not yet been produced in Ala
media Ceunty.-San Francisco Call.

he had almost decided in the negative,
when he heard Ariine coming slowly up the
stairs. Up one flight she came, and then on
up the next. Very slow work it was, and
George could hear his heart humping wildly
as She came on.
But few steps remained for her, and then
George bent over, and almost touched her
shoulder with his chin
Airline sighed in a pleasant sort of way and
then, without turning commenced her down
ward trip.
He rushed down the back stairs, and when
Airline Phillips reached the lower floor George
was leaning against the wall trying to look
unconeerned. but only succeeded in looking
as if he had committed petty laceny and been
caught in the act.
Miss Phillips was besieged with questions.

the color Of his hair
But Airline refused, but said he was very
nice young man.
George and Airline did not ride home that
night but as they were walking along he
told the story that for so long had troubled
him. and che, With just the proper amount of
difidence, said, 'sYes."
The wedding took place with the beginning
OF the new year, just two months after All
haiIows Eve and as George Edmunds walked
down the aisle, he saw Miss Edmonstou Ioak-
ing at him from the corner of her eye, and as
he passed her seat he bowed and murmured,
''Thanksl"
Once in the carriage with Airline, George
grew grave.
''Arline,p he said, 81 have a question to ask

"Yes.''

he continued, as she raised her ha ndkerchief
to her face.
She remained silent while one could count
ten, and then said, with laugh. '.why

When the Day is Done.

Darling. when the shadows fall,
And the day is done,
When the crimson veil is drawn
Ger the sunken sun,
Through the meadows. moist with dew,
Swift HE away;
All my hours of pleasure come
With the close of day.
As the perfumes from the flowers
Grow more sweet at night,
As the dewdrops softer glow
In the pale moonlight,
So, the hours of care all passed
With the sunken sun,
Joy comes springing to my soul
When the day is done.
For thy pleasant face 1 greet
And thy smile see,
When across the dewy fields
have come to thee;
When hasten home. my love,
With the sinking sun,
All my sweetest pleasures come
When the day is done.

NAMES OE TILE BOROEGHS.

Without discussing the essential merits of the
borough plan devised by the subcommittee
which Is engaged in the task OF preparing a
charter for Greater New-YOrk It may be re-
marked that, on the whole. the names selected
for the several boroughs will give satisfaction
There may be some confusion on account Of the
county OF Queens ana the borough Of Queens,
but it Is possible that Mr.. De Witt and the men
working with him look ahead to the time when
the whole of Queens County will be incorporated
in the city Richmond IS the natural and inevi-
table name for the county bearing that title
The retention Of the name OF Brooklyn as one
Of the component parts of the big city is espe
claly appropriate, and may reconcile some Of
the opponents Of consolidation to the impend
ing change. Williamsburg has survived more
than forty years as local designation for a part
OF Brooklyn. and may well be restored officially
although the borough Of Williamsburg will COM
prise a good deal of territory never included in
the former city OF that name
Coming to the present New-York the name OF
Bowling Green instantly commends itself to the
popular mind because Of It's historical assoca
tons 1t is now applied only to tiny park. but
Is we'll deserving Of the honor Of being attached
to the entire lower part Of the city. No objec
haitian and Harem the former has never been
laid aside as designating the island on which the
bulk of New-York stands, and the latter has

section. Yorkvlle. however, Is an old local
designation that hardly deserves the dignity at
