Utilize the Water Power,

There are many places in California
where available water power is unutii
ised, where farmers wearily chop wood,
operate churns, turn the crank on the
various hay choppers and tanning mills,
and discourage their boys by forcing
them to turn heavy grindstones, when
all the work and worry might easily b.
avoided by putting in an inexpensive
plant for the utilization of water power
Horse power is always unsatisfactory
and steam power costly. Gasoline IN
gines, if OF the best type, are usually
satisfactory nd comparatively inexpen-
sive, but unfailing water power is al
ways desirable. The best way of util-
ising water power where sufficient fall
can be had is by the use of water wheels

Dodd, Pelton, Knight, and others.

India grew the first lemons. which were
unknown to the ancient Greeks and Ro-
mans Lemons were introduced TO Spain

Solomon wished to be comforted with
apples. and before and since his time
the apple has been a mainstay of peo-

The Persian may pride himself that the
peach originated in his land, and. though

introduced the peach into Greece.

Pears were cultivated in most antique

mind Within fsw weeks anon q matter
Of law, hut ii Is not many months since

The case before the court, says the
New York Sun, was one arising out q
a customs decision st tbs Bort, and 4,
counsel arguing against sha decision
the custom house was New York law
yer, then for the first time before the
supreme court. The case turned main
ly upon the question whether an article
of importation should or should rot be
clasSed as sauce The custom house
had called it sauce and taxed it ae-
cordingly. The government maintained
this contention, and, Vi course. the
New York lawyer sought 10 show that
the article should no, be classed as
sauce.
Whom the supreme court came TO CON
suit upon the case their unanimous
opinion was favorable to the contention
of the government, and one Of the Jus.
tees was instructed to prepare de.
eision in favor OF the custom house.
The justice, ON returning home, told
his wife of the case, and indicated the
ground OF the decision; whereupon the
lady told him in plain words that the
justices Of the supreme court did not
know what they were talking about,
and had agreed upon an unjust deci-
sion The lady WIS entirely clear that
the article in dispute could not proper
~ be called Z sauce, and openly riSli-
euled the enurt.
The perplexed justice, instead Of pre-
pairing the decision in accordance with
the instructions OF his brethren. did
nothing in the matter, but at the next
opportunity unfolded TO the other JUS.
tices his wife's view Of the matter, and
asked them to seek domestic counsel on
the case and report at the next con
sultntion Of the court. When that con-
sultation came round the justices, hav-
ing taken feminine counsel, all report
ed against the original view that the
article involved in the case should he
classed as sauce, and accordingly the
justice originally charged with the task
Of preparing decision in favor Of the
government was now instructed TO pre-
pare one in favor Of the New York law.
