PASADENA's SEWER FARM.
A California Towns Upique and Wen
Paying Institution.

Pasadena has unique institution
which othss towns would do well to
initiate. This Is q sewer farm" that
is already more than paying expenses
and bids fair to aid materially In bal
ancing the yearly budget before many
years are gone.
The sewer farm consists of 800 acres,
five miles south of town, which were
bought unimproved few years ago,
says the Los Angeles Times. The land
was connected by pipes with the sewer
drainage of the city, and now all the
sewage is conveyed thither and spread
over the ground. The result is that
land that had been regarded as worth
less has been made to blossom as the
rose"
The council has special committee
whose business 1t is TO look after the
farm. A superintendent. S. o. Nc
Grew, is appointed and resides on the
farm with his family. He keeps -four
hired men steadily and employs as
many others as are necessary from
time to time.
Recently the work of picking the
walnuts was begun. This years crop
from city acres promises TO yield about
$50 sacks OF 100 pounds each. which
should bring a revenue Of about $500
into the town.
Mexicans from the ancient village OF
San Gabriel are employed to pick the
walnuts Off the ground after they are
EGyed from the trees by the farms
hired men. 1t is an interesting sight
to behold the senoras, senoritas and
their less industrious husbands, sweet
hearts and progeny going through the
orchards earning from GO cents to 81 &c
a day at gathering the nuts.
The farm has walnut washer or
the ground. The Mexicans husk IN,
nuts as they pick them, and then the,
are carted to the horsepower washer
after which they are stored IN a biz
barn on the premises to await the high
eat bidder.
Considerable nay is raised ON Tn.
sewer farm each year as well O. othe,
farm products and now ninety IA
hogs call the place home"
More land is constantly being lait
out in products of all sorts. Seyera
citizens have expressed their willing
ness to pay the town handsome pric,
for the sewage, but the council ha
found that 1t pays better to keep farm

What interests us In Shakespeare's
plays is not the plays themselves. but
the lstrictly irreleyantI truth and beau.
ty that he poured into them. We love
them for their matchless poetry and
their matchlesS insight into the human
soul Hamlet is for us nothing but
the study Of a contemplative man dis
tracted by the necessity to be up and
doing. Macbeth" the study OF a noble
mind degraded by ambition. The Mer-
chant OF Venice" the study of racial
strength against contempt and persecu-
ton Nothing to us now the actual
framework OF these studies: everything
the studies themselves and the lam
guage in which they are set forth. Our
pleasure in the production OF a Shake
spearean play is according solely TO the
illuminative rightness of the conception
of the chief character or characters and
to the sonorous beauty with which the
verse is acclaimed by all.-Saturday

terms duplicating them in such plot.

advised some of the officials at Panama
to secure and read the letter addressed
to Col Ferol before it was delivered to
him.
According TO their statement, they
were not allowed to make any explain
atoms
The writer of the letter. they say,
may have been prompted by desire
to injure them because they had turned
PanamanianS, or the whole plot may
have been concocted in Panama in or
der to get them out of the country, be-
cause, as Colombians, they We're dis
liked here. They do not dare go to Co.
lombia, where, they assert, they would
be treated as traitors The government
will pay their passages to Port Limon.
They are entirely without funds and
have no means of earning living but
they express the hope that ultimately
they will be permitted to return to the
isthmus.
Upon arriving here the prisoners
were placed in Jail. 1t is believed that
the government doubtless had evidence
sufficient to justify the radical step OF
deporting them.
