Across and on the bottom of these trays were nailed lath, thus forming longitudinal ribs the thickness of the lath. The figs were placed in rows, the stalk end resting on the bottom of the tray and the eye end on the lath, the object being to enough elevate the eye—say one quarter of an inch—to prevent the honey or pulp to run out. The figs were then placed in the sun to dry. They were turned every day to begin with by hand, but when more dry, in the same way as we turn raisin trays. Every night the trays were covered over, and for this purpose it is best to have all the trays on one place, and not scattered around, as is the custom with raisin trays. The figs are sufficiently dried when they show the same degree in the morning as in the evening. This is a point of great importance. If the figs are not dried enough they will sour and pull up, as if they were in fermentation. It takes from five to twelve days to dry the figs, according to the weather. When dry they may be dumped in sweat boxes for a few days, but the better way is to dip and pack right away. Now prepare a kettle or tub with boiling water, in which put enough of common unrefined rock salt, such as is used for cattle; table salt will not do. I believe two more unrefined is the salt, the better. Sea water may be preferable. The latter and the rock salt contain substances which preserve the moisture of the figs and keep them pliable. About three big handfuls of rock salt to one gallon of water is enough. When the salt is dissolved and the water is again boiling, immerse the figs for two seconds; immediately afterward thumb the figs, and work the eye of the fig downward and the stalk end upward; in fact, imitate the appearance of the imported Smyrna fig. This process is necessary. First, it distributes the thicker skin around the eye of the fig evenly, and in eating we thus get equal parts of the thicker skin and equal parts of the thinner skin. Secondly, it places the fine skin of the stalk end all on Up to last Season had been entered Fair in Los Angeles Mrs. A. M. months old. Mrs. Frank H. Clyde, twin boy Mrs. W. H. 10 months old. Mrs. M.

GOLDEN MEDICAL DISCOVERY CURES ALL HUMORS, from a common Blotch, or Fruition, to the worst Seroma, Salteria, "Fever-sores," Scaly or Rough Skin, in short, all diseases caused by blood in conquered by this powerful purifying and invigorating medicine. Great Eating Cures rapidly lead under its benign influence. Especially has it manifested its potency in curing Tetter, Road Bash, Boils, Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Seroutous Sores and Swellings, Hip-Joint Disease, White Swellings, Goitre, or Taill Neck, and Enlarged Glands. Send ten cents in stamps for a large treaty, with colored plates, on Skin Diseases, or the same amount for a treaty on Seroutous Allergies. WHILE DLOOD IS THE LIST." Thoroughly discussed it by using Dr. Pierre's Golden Medical Discoveries good digestion, a fair skin, brilliant purity, vital strength, and consciousness of constitution, will be established. CONSUMPTION, which is Serofulous Disease of the Lungs, is promptly and certainly arrested and cured by this God-given remedy, if taken before the last stages of the disease are reached. From its wonderful power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this now celebrated remedy to the rubbing, Dr. Pierre thought seriously of calling it his "Consumption Cure," but admonished that name was not given to medicine which from its wonderful combination of tame or strong ingestion, alternative, or blood-cleaning and dyeing, pectoral, and nutritive properties is unexcused; not only as a remedy for consumption of the rock salt to one gallon of water is enough. When the salt is dissolved and the water is again boiling, immerse the figs for two seconds; immediately afterward thumb the figs, and work the eye of the fig downward and the stalk end upward; in fact, imitate the appearance of the imported Smyrna fig. This process is necessary. First, it distributes the thicker skin around the eye of the fig evenly, and in eating we thus get equal parts of the thicker skin and equal parts of the thinner skin. Secondly, it places the fine skin of the stalk end all on top and when the figs are packed and pressed they present a beautiful smooth surface. I immediately packed the figs in com-mach 20 pound boxes and pressed them lightly. From these boxes I take out the sample figs as I found them out. My greatest trouble is how to prevent the sample figs I send out by mail from drying out on the road. In drying out they lose of course, some of their good qualities, and being unacquainted with the fig business itself, of course, impossible for those who receive the samples to make any allowance for the drying out. Death of the Fasting Woman. SKRASSEI, Oct. 8 — Mrs. Veronica Bulla of this city, who began to fast on Aug. 10, and since that time her physicians and attendants assert has not partaken of a particle of salid food; died this morning, at the beginning of the fifty-ninth day of her fast. Her weight, which at the beginning was about 140 pounds, was reduced to a little less than 100 pounds. Mrs. Bulla became violently insane about sixteen years ago, and several times attempted to take her life. Her insanity continued in a milder form until the time of her death. She was a woman of remarkable will power. On Aug. 10 she refused food because she said her stomach would not bear it. After a few days she declared that she would never eat again. She has drunk as much water as she wanted, but could not be induced to take anything else. She would ask for trait and smell of it with apparent satisfaction, but refused to taste it. From Aug. 17 to Sept. 1, her physician says, her bowels were totally inactive, and again for the last thirteen days. She coughed almost incessantly, and for the last few days complained of great pains in all parts of her body. Her respiration remained normal up to a day or two before her death, when it increased from 18 to 22. Her pulse varied from 70 to 60 until Friday, when it increased to 124. She refused to take medicine or stimulants, and if she detected any in the water offered her she would not swallow it. During the last three or four days one eighth of a grain of morphine in half a glass of water was given to her several times, and water with turpentine and brandy, and plasters of mustard and daxseed were applied. There has been no other reason for this increase than its thousand dollars. If you wish it," insurance company had effected eight thousand dollars built for much less down, and the Dutte full amount for what but the officers of pay more than its thousand dollars. Isfaction in power in larding his remarks tonic oaths. "If you wish it," insurance company had effected eight thousand dollars built for much less down, and the Dutte full amount for what but the officers of pay more than its thousand dollars." CONSUMPTION, which is Scrofulous Disease of the Lungs, is promptly and certainly arrested and cured by this God-given remedy if taken before the last stages of the disease is reached. From its wonderful power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this celebrated remedy to the public, Dr. Pierce thought seriously of calling it his "Consumption Cure," but attended that name as too limited for a medicine which, from its wonderful combination of tonic, or strengthening, alternative, or blood-cleaning, unit-billions, pectoral, and nutritive properties is unequaled, not only as a remedy for consumption of the lungs, but for all CHRONIC DISEASES OF THE Liver, Blood, and Lungs. If you feel dull, droopy, debilitated, have shallow color of skin, or yellowish-brown spots on face or body, frequent headache or disziiness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat or chills, alternating with hot flashes, low spirits and gloomy boreddings, irregular appetite, and coated tongue, you are suffering from Indigestion, Dyspepsia, and Torpid Liver, or "Millousness." In many cases only part of these symptoms are experienced. As a remedy for all such cases, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has no equal. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis, Severe Coughs, Consumption, and kindred affections, it is a sovereign remedy.

In a Western city lives an undertaker, by name Brown, a great wag and always ready to play a joke; also a doctor who is a joker and is always ready to tell on himself, and a "monument-maker" who is of the same kidney. One day the doctor was driving at full speed down a business street when Brown spied him. Brown was in his wagon with the sign of his profession on the side. Whipping up his horse he came as close to the doctor as possible and, glancing round, he spied the monument-maker. Calling to the monument-maker to hurry up, Brown called out: "Go on, doctor, go on; we're coming." The doctor looked around and dismay was pictured on his countenance. He whipped up his horse but all to no purpose, the undertaker and the monument-maker following closely. At last the ridiculous part of the thing struck him, and leaning back in his buggy he gave vent to his laughter, in spite of the thought: "What a sign for a prominent physician this is!"

J. de Barth Shorb and a committee of fruit grower's met in Los Angeles on last Saturday and discussed the matter of marketing fruit. An Orange Grower's Protective Union for Southern California was organized. After considerable discussion as to the objects of the association and the different fruits that could be shipped by the association, it was decided that apples, pears, raisins and other fruits can be shipped as well as oranges and lemons. On motion of Mr. Rice, a committee of seven was appointed by the Chair, with Mr. Shorb as chairman, to complete a plan of organization, to report their plan through the press within two weeks, and to report the same to this committee and all other persons in Southern California interested in the subject, at a meeting of the committee to be held at the Board of Trade rooms at the call of the chairman of the sub-committee, was carried out, and the following committee was appointed: J. De Barth Shorb, of San Gabriel, Chairman; Dr. O. H. Congar, of Pasadena; James Bettner, Riverside; Dr. O. V. Chubb, Orange; W. H. Workman, Los Angeles; H. K. Snow, Tustin; J. R. Dobbina, San Gabriel; Frank A. Kimball, San Diego, and Rev. C. F. Loop, Pomona. Mr. H. Hamilton was chosen ex-officio Secretary to notify the members of the committee to meet at the Board of Trade rooms on Thursday, October 29th, at 11 o'clock A.M. The meeting then adjourned, subject to the call of the Chairman of the committee. The Insurance Agent and the Dutchman A certain Dutchman, owner of a small house, had effected an insurance on it of eight thousand dollars, although it had been built for much less. The house got burnt down, and the Dutchman then claimed the full amount for which it had been insured; but the officers of the company refused to pay more than its actual value—about six thousand dollars. He expressed his dissatisfaction in powerful broken English, interlarding his remarks with some choice Teutonic oaths. “If you wish it,” said the actuary of the insurance company, “we will build you a house larger and better than the one burned down, as we are positive it can be done for even less than six thousand dollars.” To this proposition the Dutchman objected and was published.

Much attention is given to the interesting topic of social etiquette, and its illustrations of art needle work are acknowledged to be unequalled. Its literary work is of the highest excellence, and the unique character of its humorous pictures has won for it the camp of the American Punch. HARPER'S PERIODICALS.
