RAINFALL GENERAL FROM
SAN DIEGO TO OREGON
BY Associated Press.

By ASSOcIHIeu
SAN FRANCISCO. April 22.-Reports
from all parts of the state show that
the rainfall, which broke a long dry
spell, has been general, extending from
San Diego into Southern Oregon. II
has not been heavy anywhere, but has
been sufficient to be of vast benefit. The
Indications are for continuing showers
and the danger of drought seems ao
have been entirely averted.
An abundant fruit crop is already as
sured and with little more rain there
will be a sood harvest of grain.

The Great Dressmaker.

M. Paquin, the famous modist, started in life as a bank clerk. It was his marriage to a saleswoman in one of the big dressmaking houses of Paris which led him to leave the bank, and with very little capital, open a small eostumers' shop known as the Maison Madame. That shop has long ceased to exist but from it sprang the huge business house of Paquin, which in 1898 the founder sold to company with a capital of about s2,500, 900. Sh ortly af- terward he was decorated with the Le- zion of Honor. M. Paquin was only for ty-fiye years old when he died, and his huge business was built up in twenty years. While other famous French costumiers let the English women come to them. M. Paquin opened an estab- lishment in Hanover square, with a stage on which Is regularly enacted D most entertaining performance. Socie- ty ladies sit around sipping tea and gossiping, while across the stage glide NJ. Paquins assistants robed in enthrall- ing creations of the dressmaker's art.

HOW ID COMPOSE 4 S|NGABLE SONG. Author of Just Someone" Tells
 How It is Done 1T MUST BE SIMPLE The Public Wants Something That Is Easy To Catch, Has TunefuIness
 and Expresses Some
 Sentiment.

Will R. Anderson, the author of Just
 Someone by far the eatchlest little song,
 both in melody and words, that has been offered the American public in some years,
 has at last come out of his long. deep
 silence and told how he did it.
 This is not Mir Anderson's first lucky
 strike assthe author of popular song.
 Some years ago when the "Slver Slipper"
 was playing at the Broadway theatre,
 New York city, to indifferent business,
 the management interpolated little num-
 Der of his called "Tessie," and within
 a week all New York was singing it, and
 within surprisingly short period of time
 It's popularity had spread over the entire
 country. Just Someone.' though pub
 lished btlt.a short time bids fair to eclipse
 not only ..Tessie'' but every other song
 in the field at the present time. MT. Anderson, who is not professional
 song writer, but is engaged as an adver- Using man with one of the largest chern ical houses in the country, explains the art of writing singable song in these words:
 .sThe first step in the construction Of a song that the public Is going to like and take to at first hearing is tunefuness, next to this in importance is simplicitys
 I believe that my entire success wiih' Just Someone Is due to its simple and tuneful little melody.
 Next comes the words or rhyme. Here again simplicity plays an important part simplicity and sentiment--the former to make it popular with the masses who do not care to spend too much of their time in memorizing a song, and the latter for the ladies. who are the real purchasers of music after all. Take the very first lines of Just Someone for example, they
 are simplicity Itself and yet they are
 sentimental, and hold out promise of more to come:
 ''When you're happy and contented, And your sky is clear and blue, It's kind of nice to know there's someone, Glad to share it all with you "These opening lines, honestly believe, were responsible for M- Wirmark x Sons publishing the song. When l submitted 1t to them they declared that they had all the sentimental songs they cared for read the first lines to them, they be- came interested. I played the music over. then sang the words and walked out or the place with my contract Again l say, simplicity, sentiment and tunefulnes-get these and you have a popular song.

These vessels have sailed from Boston laden to their capacity, and, indeed only a small proportion of vessels which call at this port are sent away empty. Ac- eordingly, enormous quantities of ballast accumulated, and it is sold by M. J. Ma honey, the ballast man, to tranctors who are filling in mars.4 lands or water basins.
 Much of this soil has been used about Jeffries Point. East Boston, and prob ably there are a number of families in that section living tranquilly upon Swed- .ish land, while Irish soil, Italian territory and Russian gravel are piled indiscrim nately togetller to make q foundation for the houses of South Bostonians.
 About three months ago the Italian bark Pisa arrived here from Genoa. She was laden with 500 tons of ballast. In her case the ballast was part gravel and part rock and rubbish of old cellars and excavations. There were many P as of pure marble which had once adorned the walls of Geonese palaces;
 are nreks which had been baked 800 years ago in Italian ovens; there were broken bits of statuary which had been part of the furnishings of noble houses; there was much to interest the collector of antiques.
 A few days later a bark arrived which had taken ballast on board as an h ish port. The ballast included large num- Der of stones which, the captain sad, had been transported from the vicinity of the Giants Causeway. An Irish borl contractor who read of it bought several wagon loads which he put into the walls of house he was building for llrnselfs
 Steamers seldom use rock and dirt pal last. Modern water-tight compartments enable them to use water ballast, which can be pumped into compartment and sr be pumped out again. When the sirai e. rigger and the wooden schooner go cut forever, the ballast aandlers' occupation will be e
