The fruit shipping industry of Cali

A few crates of apricots are now com
ing in. Greater quantities will be
coming in within ten days. The crop

All varieties of peaces, with the ex-
ception of Alexanders and Hales, OF

state, are looking fine.
Shipping plums and prunes are
good in all districts. There will be
very large crop of Bartlett pears.

Got Something For NoGhinq.

Mark Twain told how he got some
thing for nothing one day in the early
sixties when he needed the money. He
walked into hotel and was petting a
strange dog. General Nelson a. Miles.
who CHANGED to be present, offered him
$40 for the canine.
ITO be frank" said the humorist to
General Miles. II haven't really got
any right to sell you this animal, but if
you'll give me SO you may take the pup
away when I'm not looking, and I'll
not tell who took it."
The bargain was closed. and General
Miles took the dog to his room. a mo-
ment later the dogs owner inquired
for his pet, and Mark Twain offered to
find the animal for SO. The humorist
then went to General Miles room and
explained all. had the dog returned to
him. gave the army officer back his
money and returned the canine to its
original owner. thereby making So.

Wolves of tho Sea.

OF all the inhabitants OF the ocean
few are more destructive than the sea
wolf, kind OF dolphin which attains
when full grown Il length Of fourteen
feet and weight of 5000 pounds.
A swift swimmer. it Is quick in its
movements. cunning as a fox and has
an Unsuitable appetite. 1t feeds on the
young of seal. whale and walrus and
also on the tongue Of the adult whale.
When Il mother walrus perceives a
sea wolf. she endeavors to throw her
cub on to an iceberg if one is near.
Failing this. she gets it on top of her
head and swims with it above water.
But this is vain. Diving far below. the
fish of prey comes up with tremendous
force, striking the frantic mother a
terrific blow and jolting the cub off
her head into the water. Here it falls
an easy victim to the assailant and Is
soon devoured.
In it's work Of destruction the sea
wolf is frequently aided by the thrash
err, n fish which can deliver a terrible
blow with its tail.

Do not try to economic. 1t is an in

few cents here and there. Besides,
you will get the reputation Of being
mean and stingy. You want everybody
to think you are generous.

money yourself. Don't deprive your

cattle that pass through the streets in

And there are church bells too. A fine

art of bell ringing either never existed

Importance of Sanitation.
''rbe splendid achievements of
scientific medicine IN civil life in the
prevention Of disease, should be even
more effectually obtained in an army,
where only healthy men are accepted,
and vigorous outdoor camp life
should keep It's uuits, who are subject
to strict military discipline, in per-
feet physical condition. Health
alone, however, is no guarantee
against the insidious attack of the
silent foe that fingers in every camp
and bivouac," says a surgeon in the
April Appleton's cit is this foe, as
the records of war for the past 2O0
years have proved, that is responsible
tor tour times as many deaths as the
guns of the enemy, to say nothing Of
the vast number temporarily invalid
cd or discharged as unfit for duty. 1t
is this dreadful unnecessary sacrifice
of life from preventable disease that
constitutes the hell of war today. In
the Russo Turkish war the deaths
from battle casualties we're 1000
while those from disease we're 81, 600;
in our great civil conflict of the
nearly 500, 600 men who persisted on
both sides, about 400, 600 were sacrific-
ed to disease to 100, 600 from battle
a IN Inn inn Of
the French in Madagascar $4,000 men
were sent to the front, of whom 30 we're
killed in action and over 1000 perish
ed from preventable diseases. In the
Boer war in South Africa the English
losses were ten times greater from
disease than from the bullets of the
enemy In our recent war with
Spain IA lives we're needlessly sacri-
feed to ignorance and incompetency
for every man who died on the firing
line or from the result of wounds.
The difference between the martyr
and the victim, between the soldier
who falls on the field of honor, and
the man who meets a miserable death
from preventable disease. for which
his government is criminally respon-
sible, is as wide as the celestial diam
ete1s. The one meets death compen-
stated in the thought that his life is
given in the protection of his
country's flag and honor, the other is
0n n mi N Ia f,, l, io
through the neglect of the government
that shamefully failed to protect the
life he offered in it's defense. This
man represents the victim of the hell
of war. That the monstrous sacrifice
of 80 per cent is almost totally un-
necessary, wassabundantIy proved in
the records of the japanese war,
where l 200, 600 men were sent to the
front, ia country notoriously I'M
sanitary, and only $4,000 men died
from disease to 50, 900 who fell in the
legitimate line of duty on the field of
honor. This because the Japanese
had properly equipped medical and
sanitary department, whose Officers
were empowered to enforce proper
sanitation and hygiene. In the army
of the United States in 1898, -, 649
picked soldiers died in three months
in the pest camps of their native land,
without leaving the country, or ever
having heard the hum of a hostile
bullet. These men represent the hell
of war as it would exist again in our
army If We were suddenly called upon
