Turning inland seas into farm lands
is what is being done in California by
the River Land and Reclamation Com
pany. Thousands of acres in the San
joaquin Valley that were only watered
wastes full of tule and peat bogs have
been made into the best land in the
State, and more are being improved.
All the work has been done in the last
year.
Through the land canal three miles
long, 100 feet wide and ten feet deep
was dug. Then levels twenty feet
wide at the base and as wide as good
wagon road at the top, twelve feet
above the water line, were built. Af-
ter dredges took all the mud from the
Enclosures, pumps drained them dry,
leaving excellent farming land. The
company making this improvement
will sell none of the reclaimed land.
1t leases it to those who will farm large
tracts on shares.

casually made by enjoying your com.
pany at dinner. l am sorry that you
are otherwise engaged"
'Why, as to that" said the captain,
pulling off his gloves, your offer is
too tempting, and I feel compelled to
accept it..
SO his horse was remanded to the
stable, and he stopped to dinner.
After dinner, they had music, for
Mrs. Leslie played and sang charm
lngly. Then he was persuaded to
stay to tea, and in the evening the
family rambled in the garden, and the
captain secured ten minutes tete-a-
tete with the widow, in a summer
house overgrown with Madeira vines,
and inhabited by spider and six ear
wigs.
1t was ten o'clock when he mounted
his horse to return to Boston; but il
was bright moonlight, and he was
romantically inclined.
The next morning he repeated his
visit, and the next, and the next. In
short, the episode of the borrowed
horse produced declaration and an
acceptance, and though years have
passed away, the captain has had no
occasion to regret his ride with the
widow, in the pony phaeton.-Satur
day Night.

Flower-Viewing in Japan.

Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett writes o.
"The Little Japanese at Home" in st,
Nicholas. Miss Hodnett says:
1t is one of the national customs tc
GO out on excursions, in parties of two
or three families, to view the flower
ing trees and plants in their season
The Japanese love all flowers, but
prefer those to which they look up
the flowers of trees. They visit the
plum blossoms in February or early
March; the cherry, especially be-
loved, in April; the lotus, in July
azaleas, during the summer; chrysan'
themums, in the autumn, and camel
has, in December. In the pleasure
grounds connected with every temple
there are always magnificent colleo.
tions of flowers. An expedition es.
pecially to see the flowers is called 8
hanami, or flower view. The bank oi
the Sumida River, which crosses the
city of Toxic, is covered with cherry
trees. These give pleasant shade,
and the spot is a favorite promenade
for the citizeas all the year round,
but in time of CHERRY bloom" the
crowds that throng the avenue are
larger than ever. 1t is crowded on
moonlight nights, and also when the
snow lies freshly fallen.
Being fully alive to the beauty OF
their country, wherever there is a
point from which picturesque view
may be obtained the japanese will
build pavilion, or tea house, or
some similar place of repose, from
which the eyes may feast on the lovely
landscape. In the family picnics or
excursions, which are frequent, some
place of beautiful situation from which
there is a good view either of land OF
sea is always selected.
These expeditions are not discon-
tinued even when the cold of winter
comes. Snow scenes are greatly en-.
joyed, and when the freshly fallen
snow is lying on the ground numerous
parties are seen at points commanding
fine view. The children are never
excluded, but accompany their elders
on all such occasions.
