California Letter.

| One OF the most peculiar and sig
niticant facts IN regard to fruit
| growing in California is the insig-
niicant price the fruit grower often
| gets for his fruit AT this time, July,
here IN NJ. W. Colony there are
plums, or prunes, being sold to the
drying plants for So per ton, and it
costs the grower $3.50 per ton to
have them picked and hauled to the
dryer; and then they are picked at
starvation wages. Hundreds of
bushels will never be picked at all;
large, fine plums, the largest speci-
mems as large as guinea eggs. What
would a Mlssourian think about
growing plums for IS per ton or
II! cents per bushel, on land that
costs, without improvements, $50
to 500 per acre?
Lots Of orchards here belong to
nonresidents and there are bearing
orchards in the colony that am
satisfied don't pay the taxes on the
land, say nothing about cultivating
pruning etc, which is $3.50 per
acre. There is lots of eastern mon
ey invested in orchards at this place
so far as an investment is concerned
had about as well been thrown in
the fire.
To see the fine California dried
fruit in the eastern markets one
would hardly think they had gone
thru what they have, and it IS hard
for one to imagine how appetising
they can look, after having seen
the ''modus operandi." In the first
place the fruit is left on the trees
until "dead" ripe; shook, knocked or
picked off the trees, picked up,
pitched into boxes as carefully as
stove wood, hauled in big lumber
ing wagons-usually springless-
to the "drying grounds" thru a
cloud of dust, "gommed' over and
cut up by lot of women and chill
dren, then placed on trays" and
run into the sulphur house and
bleeched. The trays are then
spread out on the drying ground
usually set fat on the ground, il
the broillng hot sun where chick
ems, dogs etc, and surplus of dus
have access to them. 1t takes per
haps a week to cure them, but they
are not moved off the drying gronnt
> until practically cured, there being
no rain or dew. On account of tn
sulphur and intensely hot sun in

If you want to make a girl proud
tell her she is intellectual; if you

Men ought to know that:

Men ought to know that:
When a man does not work for
some woman he generally does not
work at all.
There are more women ready to
die for men than there are those ready
to sew on suspender buttons for them.
The hardest thing for a newly
married man to learn is how to
button his wife's gown in the back.
Girls as a class are not opposed
to kissing but great many of them
set their faces against the practice.
"A woman would not be elected to
the presidency of the United States
if she could, unless she was sure the
upholstering of the executive chair
would match her inaugural gown.
"A woman often tells her husband
that she can't believe word he says
and then offers as aniincontrovertable
proof of her statement to others that
my husband told me So"
"A girl does not care much for a
beau unless she thinks she can't get
one.
"A congress of mothers is usually
an aggregation of single women who
assemble for the purpose of telling
the mothers of the land how to bring
up their children.
When babies are made by ma
chinery they can be reared according
to fixed rules.
"A girl enjoys scolding for fiirt-
ing much more than praise for demure.
No girl ever enjoys having her
hand held by a hand that has dirt
under the finger nails.
Every married couple believe it is
the duty of every other married couple
to raise large families.
"A woman is delusion and most
men love to hug delusion.
"A woman's woes are mostly
imaginary but they suffer Just as
much over them as if they were real.
"A man never feels quite so cheap
or a woman quite SO proud as when
for the first time they wheel their first
baby down the street iu new carriage.
An old bachelor, no matter how
much he rails against babies, always
gets up and gives his seat to a woman
carrying one when in crowded car.
The easiest man in the world for
shrewd girl to capture, is a woman
hater.
A girl just loves to be leased about
a young man she is in love with.
A woman is always guided in her
love affairs by her heart, never by her
intellect.
"A woman does not care about
having the last word; she only wants
the other party to stop talking first.
The reason that the Lord made
man first was because if he had made
woman first he would have been so
we'll satisfied with his JOB he would
never have made a man.
Most of the women inmates of
penitentiaries are those who preferred
poodle dogs to babies.
The reason that women were
chosen as the first witnesses of the
resurrection was that the news might
be quickly spread.
Married men know more about
women than single men but they also
know enough not to tell what they
know.
When a women is in trouble she
calls on a married man, when she has
scheme to work she visits bachelor.

THE RUSSIAN SITUATION.

Y HE interview which Grand Duke Vladimir cave
~ the Associated Press is important because it
shows that the Russian autocracy now realizes
there is public sentiment which it can no longer
treat with consumptuons indifference as has been
the case in the past.
The Grand Duke expresses surprise that Amer
lea seems to think ill now of Russia. He asks, r'-
uding to the at st. Peter ,bI"c on SUNDAY
January %, ''Why, because this occurred in Russia
should the whole world point the finger of scorn at
us Z"
The Grand Duke displays ignorance of the
world. America first turned against her when
Russia began to practice evasion and deceit respect
ing the evacuation of Manchuria. The Russian Gov
ernment made positive promise to our State De-
partment that at specified date she would with
draw from Manchuria and evacuate Newchwang;
but she deliberately violated that pledge, and pur-
sued policy of such duplcity and deliberate bad
faith that the little respect entertained for her by
small fraction of the people of this country was
turned into disgust
This disgust grew when the recent massacre oc-
CURED at st. Petersburg. The Grand Duke at
tempts to palllate the massacre by alleging that
back of the peaceful petitioners was riotous mob;
that had the petitioners not been shot down. the
mob would have sacked the palace, Gas the mob
sacked Versailles" This is very inept allu-
sion.
1t presents the thought that the same wrongs
the same indignties, the same corruption the same
OPPRESSION the same tyranny by rotten arstocracy
prevail in Russia prevailed in France prior to the
Revolution, and that the same horrible dellge of
blood and carnage to wipe it out seems now immi-
nent.
The American people would be false to their
ideals did they not cry out in protest when an op-
pressed people, seeking by petition the redress of
their wrongs, are shot down in cold blood. The
Grand Duke in his interview says that Russia is
''not ripe for constitutions" to ''grant it would
mean anarchy" So said George III to the Amer
leans; so said Louis XVI; so said every sovereign
and absolute monarch in the worlds history in re-
sponse to appeals for liberty; yet the flame cannot
be extinguished. What history tells of other lands
it will repeat of Russia

REFoREsTING THE EASTERN STATES

n HROUGH the self-interest of the great railroad
~ corporations the reforesting of the Eastern
States has begun The Pennsylvania Railroad
this spring will plant 900 with seedlings to
furnish timber for its crossties The planting will
continue annually at this rate until hundred square
miles are planted for this one purpose
The annual number of ties used on the Penn
sylvania lines east of Pittsburg and Erie is three
and a half millions. The cost of these ties has so
increased that the company finds it cheaper to buy
land and raise its own ties
In the West several railroads have adopted a
similar policy of raising their TIMBER and the
farmers plant catapa, locust, cedar and chestnut to
raise their own fence-posts.
If the paper companies, the furniture, match
toothpck, cooperage and other corporations requr-
ing special kinds of timber, awake to the sagacity
and business policy of raising their own raw mater
ial great deal will be done in the work of practi-
cal reforestation

Discussing the characteristics of n
gentleman in democratic society,
President Eliot said that he should be
gentle of speech. quiet of demeanor,
a serene person who does not bluster
or hustle or hurry or vociferale, but
who pays attention with the intent
mind which is requisite to effective
ness. He accorded him the disposi.
ton to see the supeliorities in per.
sons rather than their inferiorities,
and preference for the society OF
his superiors. And he held that he
should have a generous spirit, con.
forming his life to his resources,
avoiding both lavishness and parsi
mony.
He should be considerate too, es.
pecially toward those who are in any
way in his power, and should scrupu.
lously avoid hurting any one weaker
than him self. He even denied him
the precious privilege of beng lazy.
His democratic gentleman must be 6
power, a worker, disinterested
laborer in the service of others; not 8
weakling or a mere pleasure-seeker
but strong and Woodworking man.

impressions Of America, says: "Amcr

The women are SO independent that
men do not offer to do anything for
them, fea ing to be snubbed. Thus
they are in danger Of losing much OF
the instinct of chivalry with which
by nature they are endowed. The
American people, like children, hate
to be found fault with, and cannot
stand chatting. American art is
peculiar. There is no personal art,
but an extraordinary knack Of taking

cuts and attaining much except in
architecture. Their art is thing for

be assumed that the writer consider $
that the moral condition of the class
below is also threatened, but by the
excess rather than by The lack Of
work. Supposing, then, that a right
moral equilibrium is the thing desir-
able above all others, the thing that
more than anything else tends to
give happiness to the human race, it
would appear that instead of the
social aspirations of the working class
tending toward the leisured class,
the reverse should be the case, and
the social aspirations OF both the high
est and the lowest classes should con-
verge toward those people of moder-
ate incomes who live good and happy
lives in the golden mean.

New York, Feb. 6.-The World has

the Great Western, in which he points
out that President Roosevelt accepts
favors from railroads, which custom he
condemns in others. President Stickney
intimated that what was needed to break
up the practice of officials accepting
favors was an illustrious example like
that of the president himself. 1t is stated
that in the three years and half he
has been president Mr.. Roosevelt has
travelled in private cars, on passes and
on special trains much more extensively
than any of his predecessors, and possib-
ly more than all OF them combined He
always rides on pa :ses in private car,

him, and unless the trip is'a very short
one he travels in a special train which al
ways is luxuriously appointed and Law
ishly supplied with things to eat, drink
and smoke. In the first two years he
was in the White House Mr.. Roosevelt
went on twenty-five trips, many of which
were on special trains. His longest trip
was in the summer o. 1903, when he
went to the Pacific coast in an elaborate
ly appointed special train, for which a
private citizen woald have had to pay
