Co-opERArIoN IN c4nrFoRNJA

| CO-OPERA1ION i " Oh IN fbJC M it
! Cooperative stores flourish in Eng
| land, but they seem to peter OUT in
serted that mercantile and industrial
CO. operation is making rapid strides in
California. Between thirty and forty
business houses in the State are oper-
ating on the cooperative plan. Each
house was started as grocery, with
just enough capital to stock it, but
with an assurance also of sufficient
patrons to keep it moving. One hun
bred and fifty families are thought
sufficient to make the running of a
grocery profitable, and one hundred
more families added warrants the
broadening of the business In Cali
fornia these stores have succeeded be-
yond all expectations, says Mr.. ]. s.
Clark. one Of the leading organizers of
the movement. Let me give you one
case In Alturas, Modoc county, we
started house five years ago with
$500. In two years our goods invoiced
between seven and eight thousand dol
lars in cash, and in four years and
half the goods had increased to twenty
thousand dollars, and they had built
and were operating fouring-mill
Some Of the other stores have done
even better than that, but this in
stance is a fair average of them all"
A plan now under consideration is to
form business connection with cooper
alive concerns in the East, the Cali
fornia associations to barter agricul
tural products for goods made in east
ern factories.
People in this country ought to be
able to cooperate successfully if they
want to- They are smart people.

The Organ Grinder.

Where the lilac bushes bend
Meath their load Of purple blooms;
Where the robin sings his ditty,
And the drowsy humble booms.
On the old steps in the garden
/ am sitting once again,
Listening to an organ grinder
As he grindS with might and main.
Grinds and grinds, old memories rousing-
Memories that have sleeping lain
In the dim, unused recesses
OF my busy, eager brain.
Grinds me back to happy spring times
Laughter haunted, careless days;
Grinds me back to childish pleasures,
Childish works and childish plays.
Griuds me out of misty sunshine,
Faces young and faces old
Faces Of the loved and vanished!
Grinds my gray locks back to gold!
Little wlzened organ grinder;
Mighty necromancer! 10,
From your box of magic music
You have called the long ago!

MIGRATION OF INSECTS.
Natural and Induced Colonization by
Winged Pests and Blessings.

Winged Pests and BLESSINGS.
Not long ago story was current
which sounds like the realization of a
collectors dream A ship was crossing
the Atlantic from the United States,
and was followed by number of but
terflies of large species called the
''black-veined brown" The butterflies
kept up with the ship, probably alisht-
ing on it at night, and when the steam
er drew near the Sicily Islands were
still following it. Shortly afterward
thirteen of these American butterflies
were said to have been caught in Corn
wall, it was alleged by friends of an
entomologist on board, who contrived
to let them know by the earliest posi-
BILE means that such distinguished
strangers might be expected.
Whether the story is based on fact
the writer knows not. But there is
good reason to think that butterflies
do occasionally cross the sea, whether
by choice or compulsion, and that they
are not the only insects that do so.
Others also travel great distances by
land, or migrate to pasture new on
ships in trains and among the feathers
of birds. The unusual number of the
Camberwall Beauty seen two years ago
on the south coast were believed to
have been blown across, or to have
flown across with a fair wind, from
France whence also passengers on the
Calais Dover boats saw not long ago
swarms of common white butterflies
crossing the channel. This is not in the
least surprising. The large vanessas,
such as the red admiral or Camberwell
beauty, fly swiftly and strongly One

1t is remarkable to what an extent
flax and wool are being displaced by
cotton in the manufacture of textiles
In 1799-1SO1, according to the Manches-
ter Textile Recorder the consumption
of the three materials in England was:
Flax, los, 10000 900 pounds; wool, 100000, OOC
pounds; cotton, 41,S00,000 pounds. BY
1860 the consumption of flax and wool
had about doubled While the consump-
ton of cotton was increased 25-fold.
In 1S9S-1900 the consumption of flax
was 214, 100000 pounds; of wool, 1885,
100000 pounds of cotton, 1884, 900, 900
pounds. The order of the Importance
of these materials has thus been re-
versed. The consumption of wool has
increased five times and of cotton near
ly forty times. Silk also has suffered
as well as wool and flax. The new
method of ''mercerizing" cotton gives
it a gloss like that of silk and causes
it to displace silk to an appreciate ex-
tent.

that fifty per cent. of the extra rent

demand. Clearly if the cochineal could
be introduced there would be a sale to
a vast local population. The cultiva-
ton of the cactus on which 1t fed, and
J of the insects themselves which are
planted out in little communities on
each young cactus plant, seemed exact
" suited for the laborious Hindoos. To
add to the wealth of the many nations
| and languages of the peninsula by the
| induced migration of one hardy plant
and little red blight seemed almost
natural miracle, yet a possible one.
Yet for some reason, though the econo-
mic arguments were all sound, the
cochineal insect refused to migrate
with a cheerful mind. 1t hourished
when taken from its native Mexico to
the Canary Islands, that Western fos-
ter mother of other tropical products,
and to some degree in Java and Algiers.
But the parts of India to which it was
taken did not suit it.
On the other hand, an equally insig-
nifcant insect has crossed the Atlantic
and not only the Atlantic, but the New
World itself, and been settled on the
Pacific coast by the aid and desire of
the California fruit growers. The
story of its journey and establishment
is like an echo of some anecdote by
Herodotus of Greek rites rationaized
by reference to some Egyptian "mys-
terry" The ancients had an immemorial
custom Of hanging up branches of
wild fig, which they called the goat fig,
just as we speak of the dog" rose on
the edible fig trees at certain seasons,
in the belief that the wild fig fertilized
the other. In this way they We're per-
fectly right but it was not done in
the way in which they thought.
Though the wild ing has male and fe-
male flowers the former do not direct
ly fertilize those of the edible fig. That
is done by an insect Matched in the
female blossom of the wild tree. These
blossoms turn into gals, the gals in
turn liberate fly, the fly visits and Is
covered with the pollen of the wild fig,
and then flies into the female flower of
the other and fertilizes it. In order
that the edible figs introduced into
California from Asia Minor might be
properly fetrilzed these insects were
introduced, it having been found that
without them the trees did not give
proper yield.
