CALIFORNIA LETTER.

Sometimes when snow, sleet and winters cold
are with us count the weeks until summer can
come, and long for its balmy breezes and lovely
flowers. But in this great land of ours we need
only count the days, and six of them are enough
to bring us to this lovely summer land. What n
revelation those six days make of the vasness the
variety of products and of climate, this country
From our own tobacco factories, past the cotton
mills of North Carolina and the cotton fields of
Georgia and Alabama and the great cypress indus

POETRY IN THE HOME.

Poetry might be renamed mothers helper Her
lullaby would not be sweet without words
though her infant has no sense of their meaning
TO the mother with discriminating love for poetry
ana with wisdom to the simplest at it's full
value, the question of how to guide her little flock
genty along paths Of pleasantness purity, truth
and beauty is much smplifed. What is there all
the way from home to heaven that we ought to
know but some poet in moments of Inspiration has
distilled IT into rhyme and rhythm to charm in
strucI refine discipline and direct the terminating
FORCES of character? Verse is a copous spring IF
education, preceding the alphabet. For cultvating
memory where can we look for its equal? It may
OFTEN happen that in maturity, out of lines early
learned for their flow Of language chiefly will come
to son or daughter some precious sentiment as the

days. After leaving San Antonio cacti and yuccas
are the sole vegetation and Mexcans in their queer
adobe homes, take the place the negroes and
their cabins, in the landscape Even the
tains absolutely bare, and are impressive in
their great bulk of rock and EARTH with nothing
soften their crumples and gashes. On the morning
of your last day out you feel that a magician must
have been ahead in the night, truly this land of
South California is a land of enchantment. The
green fields, beautiful shade trees, pepper and eu-
calyptus, and miles and miles of orange lemon and
olive groves, and vineyards make a scene of sur
passing loneliness you think, until you see
the flowers. The Senior Editor would not have to
bewail the failure of blossoms in his Christmas
cactus here Such profusion of blossoms it is i'm
possible to imagine, unless you have been here
indeed 1T seems a verftable fairy land. Here in
Santa Barbara nature has been unusually lavish,
even for this country, for we have ocean waves
breaking at the base of the highest coast range in
the country, a chain of mountainous islands al
most across the harbor picturesque town nesting
In most fertile valley and smothered in flowers
and quantities of sweet-snging birds linets and
knocking birds. My list of attractions is by no
means complete but for fear of wearyine Won T
Will leave it so.
The growth of all this country is one of the mar
vels of it. They say that in 1870 there were only
seven American women in this town; now it has
population of between 10000 and Is OOO and nine
Protestant churches. One Of greatest pleas
ures here has been the services in the Presbyterian
Church and it's Sunday school. The people re-
mind us of Virginians, and think of course that
Is the highest compliment could pay them.
Perhaps it is we'll that all attempted descriptions OF
this country are inadequate, for could attrac-
lions be generally known and appreciated we think
the country would hardly be large enough to hold
those who would come, and coming be inclined to
stay. The Central has been anxously looked
Tor each week. and great disappointment resulted
from its failure to appear With best wishes

A QUEER OYSTER STORY.

Nature study tells us that oysters their food
without eyes, catch it without moving, eat it with
out mouth, and digest it without a stomach.
AS they live in their little shells tightly closed,
they are no more like living creatures than stones
are yet they are active enough, not only to feed
themselves, but also to suspect when danger is
near, and protect themselves from it.
Have you heard an oyster make a noise?
1t makes one, though not loud the bark of a
dog, nor sweet the song of a canary.
Marjory, little girl, whose grandfather lives in
old Virginia, the seashore, can tell you all
about it. Under her grandpas house is a dark
cellar, water tight where they keep oysters just
from the sea, and fatten them.
What would the average boy or girl do if given
oyster and told to fatten 1T? If it were n chick
a little pony he she would know just how;
oyster, shut up tight in the shell home, is an
other thing entirely
Even if the shell were opened, no mouth could be
found.
Marjory's grandpa spreads pals of oysters on
the cellar floor and poured water over them
then sprinkled a large quantity Of cornmeaI
the water. oysters fatten very quickly
meal and feed themselves, but not until every
body has gone out and the door is shut. They
cute enough to know when any is i'm the cellar.
This little girl often amused herself by opening
the door quickly, she would hear the SNAP" the
oysters made shutting their shells. That "snap"
is the only sound they make. but when a few pail
fus of them "snap" their shells at once the noise
is quite loud When one is near they lie with
their shells open. for that is the way they get their
food The cornmea floats into their shells with
the water and becomes absorbed into these strange
little characterization Nation

FOR 10, THE WINTER IS PAST"
Mrs. Lucy c. Dabney.


Mrs. Lucy c. Dabney.
The dear little flowers, how long they are sleeping!
Under brown blankets, their faces they're keeping.
But the sunshine is calling to every green thing,
And soon they'll be whispering It's spring; It's
spring."
While is still lingering, and March winds
wailing;
The Arbutus, her garments is silently trailing
Under dead leaves she brings fragrance and beauty
With pink cheeks or pale she is doing her duty.
And here the Crocus, he's scarcely been
seepng
Already from under the cover he's peeping
He has without number the brightest
of all the spring flowers his heart is the lightest.
The Jonquil is decked in the brightest of yellow
He's never alone-a jolly good fellow
His cousin Narcissus is sad and quite pale
Ask him some day to tell you his tale.
The Violet comes in a purple sun-bonnet
Modest and neat, with trimming on it.
But she'll slyly peep out the South wind passes,
For he is in love with that sweetest of lasses.
The Pansy, think, is her nearest of kin.
She has broad face and cute little chin
Sometimes she looks merry-sometimes she looks
wise;
But always she has the most beautiful eyes.
Queer things are biding their time to spring up
Bachelors buttons and gold Butter-cups-
And White Dutchman Brooches are hung out to
air.
When the Blue-Bells of Scotland are ringing their
chimes,
Then Jack Pulpit is preaching betimes
And hiding away in cool shady places,
Anemones cover their cute little faces.
The green ferns are spreading new fronds to the
sun,
And Columbine blossoms will come one by one;
And Azaleas all gorgeous in pink and in red.
But you hear not sound silent their tread.
The Cobea's belated, but he will appear
In his cardinals hat-and isn't it queer
That he chooses his home in the deep meadow
grasses
And dabbles his feet in the brook as it passes?
But time would quite fail me if I to tell
OF Snowdrops and Lilies and Tulips as we'll
But keep your eyes wide for the coming of spring
With the mystery and beauty of each living thing

THE FLAM1NGo's PLUMAGB.

There are about seven species of famingoes, three
of which in America frequenting the Bahia
mas, Florida and Cuba. In height the famingo,
averages about six feet. If its curved neck were
stretched to its full length the bird would tower
above the head of ordinary man.
The first plumage is grayish white, and passes
through various tints of pink rose carmine or YER
million to the full scarlet of the adult which
reaches its deepest shade the wings. Several
years necessary to perfect the final gaudy pIu-

A SINGER ON THE WAY.

World seemed goin' upside down
Little pleasure bringin'
To the country and the town,
Still his soul was singin'I
Skies a-wearin' such a frown,
Thorns for roses springin'
Still some joy in life be found
Still his soul kept singin'!
And we learned a lesson sweet
And to Hope still clingfng,'
Hearts took on a happier beat,
And the world was singin'!

elected for the first year: j. A. Down
ing, J. L. Lawiess, c. w. Heaton, F. M.
Friend, G. S. Blosser, l.. Writ Mark
ham, M McMillin, L. j. Sayler and
c. NJ. Lee. 1t was voted to purchase
the two lots on the corner of Main and
West Elm streets where the old Presby-
terrain church stood. The building will
be 50x1O0 feet two stories high, and will
have two large store rooms on the
ground floor, and a number of office
rooms besides fine lodge rooms on the
second floor. The location just opposite
the postofiice will be one of the best in
town, and the building and it's equip
ment will be thoroughly up-to-date in
every particular. The estimated cost
is about $4,000 and more than one-third
of that amount was subscribed in stock
at the first meeting. This with other
business houses to be constructed soon
in that block will add much to the bust
ness appearance of Main Street.

New South Side Ditch.

Steps are beng taken this week by
the land owners under the proposed
line of the south side ditch to organize
the Bent and Prowers County Irrigation
District. Notice will be given this week
of the intention to organize the district
and it is expected that the matter will
be taken up at the next meeting of the
board of county commissioners. 1t is
found that there are over 10000 acres of
decided land under the proposed line Of
the canal to be known as the Bent and
Prowers Canal, and this will be suiii-
cient to give the district very substan-
tial basis to start with. This ditch will
open up one of the finest farming dis
tricts in the world, and the greater part
of the land will be tributary to Lamar.
