WEALTH FROM THE PACIFIC,
Valuable Products from Sea Water or
Our Western Coast.

Californians have solved the prob
lem OF the alchemists and are making
gold out of sea water. The golden
state has taken golden treasure out
OF her mountains, has made her val
leys yield millions of dollars worth OF
golden fruit, has amassed tourist gold
i'll exchange for her sunshine, and now
turns to the great lazy Pacific ocear
and ransacks its Golfers.
There is no rush of prospectors tc
the new field, however, as the gold is
coming out of the sea in the form OF
salts OF potassium, magnesium and
bromide, which would elude the par
and the rocker of the prospector.
OF several "diggings' of this nature
one at least is active and prosperous
and one is approaching activity. The
San Pedro Salt company, which re
Gently entered into the field, has sue
ceeded in manufacturing a quantity
and quality of salt which has found q
ready market and has already assumed
place among the exports of the port
Of San Pedro.
The fact that San Pedro is a lively
and thriving port, with almost no out
going cargoes, makes the development
of this trade both easy and important
Since the first of last year the coast
ing schooners returning to the north
ern coast have taken away over 9
thousand tons of this sea salt.

Judge Was Always Perfectly Willing

A young woman whose father had

lieutenants, once applied to him for a
position, which he promised to get

busy, and the following day when the
young woman called he had forgotten
all about her case; but upon being
reminded, apologized profusely and
told her to call tomorrow.
The next day the young woman
again appeared, but the judge had
again forgotten, and said: please
call tomorrow" This kept up for
several weeks, and the girl was get
ting tired of it. The next time she
called, the judge walked hurriedly
into the room and began the same old
formula:
''My dear young lady, you will have
to call tomorrow, as l am very busy
to-day"
"But, judge" said the girl, 'that is
what you have told me every time.

Sport of the Infant Japanese Girl.

Sport of the Infant Japanese Girl.
Little girls make a play of one
thing that in after years becomes la
Dor, labor of love though it is. So
soon as a girl is old enough, perhaps
three or four, her dolly is tied to her
back in the same way that she was
fastened to her nurses back when she
was baby. She carries this about
while at play, and as she grows older
a larger doll is used until she has
grown accustomed to the weight and
is able to carry her baby brother or sis
ter, thus relieving her mother, who
perhaps works in the rice fields or in
tea garden.-Laura B. Starr, in the
Circle
