which 1t can be concealed and the uncer-

a source of temptation to dishonesty
among all classes. 1t is therefore
against the law for anyone, even a Ii

stringent law was passed many went

years, but have managed to evade de-

but the temptation is so strong that,
despite the penalty, the practice still
goes on, but to d smaller extent than be-

1t was astonishing to find out how Of
ten the culprit turned out to be man in
good and responsible position, and often
the very men who We're the loudest in
the denunciation of the crime were
themselves practicing it. The writer
was in a cafe one evening when there
was a sudden hush, followed by a start
ling buzz of conversation, and he heard
the name of we'll known man, followed
by the word detectives. A man
standing near. who was suspected of
carrying on the same trade, became sud-
denly pale and bit uneasily on his visor
and. with careless laugh, said:

a scarcely audible tone What fool

Detectives themselves have been
tempted to dabble in the trade and have
been trapped and are now working in

fascinating trade of gems offers great
temptations to the weak willed, and It

one package, worth many thousands of

Those of yellow tinge are bought and
worn by the East Indians.
The pure white stone is of more value
than the yellow, because not so plenti-

A pocketbo.k Which canno. Be Lost

Two young men in Chicago have in
vented and patented a safety pocket
book which women. it is claimed, can't
lose or lay down and forget, and which
cannot be stolen from them.
To introduce the article on the market
the following scheme was adopted: The
promoters inserted this advertisement:
LOST POCKET EOOK BUREAU-HAV,
you lost or foL--- pocketbook?. If So,
call at
The caller at the office of the bureau
has his name and contents of the lost
pocketbook noted, with the assurance
he will be notified if the bureau gets
any track of it. He is then in q good
frame of mind to investigate the merits
of purse which cannot get lost.
The device consists in two strong
bands attached to the purse, which are
to be clasped around the wrist. When
needed, the purse can be pulled down
into the hand without removing the
bands.
IF we find the purse you will be noti-
fled at once" the young han in charge
said to a caller There will be no ex-
pense except small fee if we succeed
in restoring your property. We expect
to make this headquarters for pocket
book finders and losers. "-Chicago

etc. The latter cost $40 each, or $3.50 per
dozen, and each one is guaranteed to
represent "a spur fire fountain, which
changes to myriads of fiery contortion-
ists-twisting. squirming in mid air, put
ting themselves into various shapes"
etc. The bombette fountain also costs
$40 for each one, while an electric vol
cano can be had for considerably less.
OF the latter the dealer said: 1T opens
with an illumination of red. followed by
a stream of scintilating fire and colored
stars. and terminates with a burst of
green electric stars of great brilliancy
and startling effect. The extra large
size is of marvellous beauty. emitting
large globes of electric fires, scintillat-
ing and ejecting thousands of colored
sparks, looking like so many jets of
sparkling water"

In conformity with the policy of The
Herald's present management of giving
all the news. it has in the present edition
and will hereafter weekly devote con-
siderable space to the ranch and its
products, and what does not that word
ranch embrace as used here. 1t is not
uncommon to hear of Mr. So-and-so's
hen ranch. when the owner has only
coop on 50x100 lot, or bee ranch where
the owner has less than dozen hives on
the roof of some shed in close proximity
to a candy shop or fruit cannery. The
word ranch usually conveys to the mind
of an eastern man large range OF acres
upon which horses and cattle and sheep
rove, or-may be where broad acres of
grain are raised. But not so where the
Latin race first brought civilization. Its
meaning has broadened until it includes
place where anything can be grown or
raised, hence we hear of hen ranches,
bee ranches, fruit ranches, beet ranches,
hay ranches and stock ranches, etc. The
word as used in California is synonym
Gus with garden, farm or plantation.
In this department The Herald will go
one step further than the ranch and
keep it's readers informed as to the arti-
Giles manufactured on the ranch and
from the products of the ranch, giving
special attention to what are now con-
sdered the waste products thereof.
Nothing is ever lost in nature and there
is no reason why. in this progressive age.
anything should be a waste substance
on the ranch.
1t is the fashion now among daily pa
pers to devote considerable space each
week to agricultural matters. thereby
doing incaloulable damage to their con-
stituents by publishing all sorts of trash
from the pens Orwell, nobody knows
whom-encouraging all sorts of expert
mental work, which never results In any
thing but harm to the experimental. 1t
will be our aim to present only the good.
successful and rational methods pursued
on the ranch and to condemn untried,
unscientific and utopian schemes so
prevalent of late to fill up space. Nor
shall we scruple to clip from and give
credit to other publications for that
which is deemed good. Able writer's in
different lines of ranch work have been
enlisted and we shall, also. give the SUBJ
stance of the papers presented at the
meetings of the State Board of Horti-
culture, the Farmers Institutes and the
Pathological Society.

Hot Weather Salads

1t Is by no means necessary to have
chicken or sweetbreads for a delicious

LAWS FOR DIAMOND DiGGERS
1t Is Next to Impossible to PurIoin Gems From
the Mines

OF course, the expenses of company
owning block of claims are enormous.
and a large number of stones have to be
found before the margin for dividend
arrives. The expense and difficulty of
reaching the diamond field in the early
days kept away the rowdy element to be
found in our western mines.
Such diggers as have remained on the
fields since the early days" seem never
to be tired of talking of the life they then
led as the happiest they have ever
known. Then each would peg out his
claim and go to work therein with pick
and shovel, depending scarcely at all
upon the uncertain help of the lazy KAT
fir, and with his own strong arm attack
ed the hard, pebbly soil in which the dia-
mond was imprisoned and in a primitive
way washed the soil for diamonds.
They are not to be picked up walking
through the streets or over the floors"
where the soil lies pulverized by sun and
rain. 1t is illegal to own a diamond I'M
less one is a claim hunter or licensed
buyer. If a private individual wishes to
purchase a stone or two for himself he
must first obtain a permit from the au-
thorities
These precautions will be seen to be
necessary. because the value of the da-
mond, its portability. the facility with
