BEET SUGAR. There is a little doubt that within a few years beet sugar will be one of the most important product of California. It has been shown that the climate and soil of this State are exceptionally well adapted to the successive culture of the sugar beet. European experts who have noted the results achieved in California, have been astonished at the advantages which we possess in this direction. Not only is the percentage of sugar in California beets much larger than the average obtained in Europe, but the working season is more than twice as long. The question of adequate protection to the beet sugar industry is now settled beyond peradventure, the Republican national platform having indorsed the policy in unmistakable terms. The success of the beet sugar factory at China encouraged Mr. Clark of Montana, the well-known mining millionaire, to undertake the erection of another large factory at Alamitos, just across the line from Los Angeles county. The new factory will have a capacity of 350 tons of beets per day, to be increased 700 tons per day after the first season. When these two factories are both worked at their full capacity, they will use up the product of 14,000 acres of beets, employing together in the factories and the beet fields over 1,500 persons, while the amount of money distributed annually among the farmers will be over $600,000. The sugar factory that is about to be erected at Salinas, in Monterey county, by Claus Spreckels, will be the largest of the kind in the United States, or in the world. It will require over 600 men to build the factory, and will employ between 600 and 700 men during the season. Three miles of switches will be necessary in the yard. According to the San Francisco Call, the amount of water necessary to supply the demand of one day is 13,000,000 gallons, sufficient to supply a city of 100,000 inhabitants. Thus it will be seen that the pumping plant incident to this undertaking alone is quite an enterprise. It was the question of water, so important a factor, that led Mr. Spreckels to select the present site of the factory: The water supply is the Salinas river, and artesian wells. Large pumps will lift the water from the river to the factory. Across the river, one-half mile from the factory site, will be constructed on the mountain side, at an TRAPPING CROWS. It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the Wily Birds. Crows are trapped and sold to sportsmen for shooting matches, usually bringing $10 per 100, but, like other things, when scarce they bring more. It is no simple matter to trap crows, for the crow is a wily bird, and to catch him in a net set for that purpose requires skill, and patience as well, but the hunger of the crow is always the trapper's greatest aid. One man alone would make but little headway catching crows and would probably sit all day in his little bough house ready to spring his net, but the crows would give his bait a wide berth because they would know that he was there. After placing the carcass of some animal on a field the net is set close to it by bending poles of saplings, on which the net is hung flat to the ground, where they are held down by triggerlike pegs, and a line run 50 yards or more to a house built of boughs, where the trapper is secreted. Another carcass is usually laid some hundreds of yards distant on the same or another field, where there is no net set. The trappers, usually two in number, go into the bough house together before daylight, and when the crows begin to assemble on the fields one of them goes out and walks away. The crows, seeing him leave, grow a little bolder and approach the bait in ones and twos, but stop only long enough to get a beakful of the flesh and fly off again. The carcass where there is no net set is of course the best patronized, but the trapper on the outside makes it his business to walk near enough to that to keep the crows from settling on it in numbers and thus satisfying their hunger without going to the one where the net is. After awhile their hunger gets the better of their judgment or their fear, and they gather on the carcass where the net is. This is the opportunity of the man in the bough house, who, with a vigorous pull on the line, springs the net over them. Quick work must be done then by the trappers, who rush up to the net, to keep the trapped crows from crawling out at the ends and the front, where it is not staked fast to the ground. With their hands covered with stout buckskin gloves, to keep the crows from biting and scratching them, the captured birds are put in bags ready to be carried off the field. From 40 to 60 are frequently caught on one pull, but it Before the entire scheme is completed, and the details of this vast project are realized—and no doubt Mr. Spreckels will insist upon thoroughness and completeness—the sugar king will in all probability be compelled to draw his check for $2,500,000, which, with an investment of between the $700,000 and $5,000 per day for labor and operating expenses. It will require 30,000 acres of land to supply the demand of the factory. Salinas valley affords 90,000 acres of beet cultivation. An approximate idea of the size of Mr. Spreckels' new factory can be had by a comparison with the rest of the beet sugar factories in the State. The factory at Watsonville has a capacity of 1,000 tons of beets per day, the Chino factory a capacity of 750 tons per day, and the factory at Alvarado a capacity of 500 tons per day, making a total of all the factories combined of 2,250 tons per day or 750 tons less than the daily capacity of the new Spreckels factory. To use a time-worn phrase, the beet sugar industry fills a "long-felt want" in California. It has long been recognized that there was a need in this State of some crop to supplement the horticultural industry, and furnish and income to the tiller of the soil while he is waiting for his orchard to come into bearing. This the beet sugar crop will do, as it will bring a cash return to the farmer within six months from the time of planting, while men of moderate means may lease land for a share of the crop. Should the beet sugar industry of California be developed as it deserves, it may easily result in doubling the population of the State within the next few years.—[Los Angeles Investor.

Mrs. Fields Tells an Interesting Anecdote of the Author. Speaking of Longfellow, in her volume of literary reminiscences, Mrs. Jane J. Fields says: "His kindness and love of humor carried him through many tedious interruption. He generously overlooked the fact of the subterfuges to which men and women resorted in order to get an interview, and, to help them out, made as much of their excuses as possible. Speaking one day of the persons who came to see him at Nahant, he said: 'One man, a perfect stranger, came with an omnibus full of ladies. He descended, introduced himself; then, returning to the omnibus, took out all the ladies, one, two, three, four and five, with a little girl, and brought them in. I entertained them to the best of my ability, and they staid an hour. They had scarcely gone when a forlorn woman in black came up to me on the plaza and asked for a dipper of water.' Certainly,' I replied, and went to fetch her a glass. When I brought it, she said: 'There is another woman just by the fence who is tired and thirsty. I will carry this to her.' But she struck her head as she passed through the window and spilled the water on the piazza. "Oh, what have I done!" she said. "If I had a floor cloth, I would wipe it up." "Oh, no matter about the water," I said, "if you have not hurt yourself." Then I went and brought more water for them both and sent them on their way re-freshed and rejoicing." "It would be both an endless and unprofitable task to recall more of the curious experiences which popularity brought down upon him. There is a passage among Mr. Fields' notes, however, in which he describes an incident during Longfellow's last visit to England which should not be overlooked. Upon his arrival the queen sent a graceful message and invited him to Windsor castle, where she received him with all the honors, but he told me no foreign tribute touched him deeper than the words of an English hod carrier who came up to the carriage door at Harrow and asked permission to take the hand of the man who had written the 'Voices of the Night.'"

"I was taken sick," said Mr. S. on the 17th of August, 1895. As I along been of the opinion that I was a iron, you may well believe that it was for me to entertain the thought that it be laid up for more than a day or for 58 years old, and for 40 years the time of this attack, I had not had sickness.

There is this question asked: Was there any library at Alexandria containing 700,000 books? Gibbon inclines to the opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor insists that if there had been a library it was burned in the time of Julius Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate, however, that there was a library in the Serappeum, by no means a large collection, but whether destroyed by Theophilus or Theodosius is not known. It looks as if the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation. Recent explorations of Alexandria, 1895-6, show no traces of the Serappeum. The seaport of Egypt was built on a damp foundation, and, granting that there was a library, if not destroyed by fire, then the papyri might have suffered from decay due to water.

This is a New Term in Medicine. From the News, Indianapolis, Ind. of the best known men about the Indianapolis Board of Trade is Carlos F. Shepard who for several years has been consulted with the house of H. E. Kinney, grain mason of medium height, gray-headed with a mustache like a French veteran. He is a man of very decided views on all acts and is especially orthodox in poli- and medicine. Notwithstanding his firmness in his convictions and the vigor with which he maintains them he is a man of many skills for manly men, even though some obstinate in their opinions, have the character that win admiration and respect. A few months ago when the news came to old associates on the Board of Trade Mr. Shepard had received a stroke of paralysis and that the probabilities were that days of usefulness were over, and that maps, his hours were numbered, the deep-eympathy went out to the smitten man's family.

They said I could never walk again but here I am, and I think the credit must be given to the pills. It is said the pills are stimulating, but I cannot say that they give me any sensations that I am aware of. They merely cure and that is quite enough for me. “Since I have been out I have been a walking advertisement for Williams’ Pink Pills. I suppose I have recommended them to at least a hundred persons. What! You want to print all this? Why, my dear sir, I never gave a recommendation to any proprietary medicine before in my life.

They Can Throw Themselves Several Inche Into the Air. The curious movements of jumping beans have lately attracted some attention, though to style the spasmodic jerks of the beans jumps is to court disappointment. Some “jumping cocons,” described by Dr. D. Sharp in The Entomologist were, however, remarkably good athletes, for they could spring out of a small vessel, such as a tumbler, in which they were placed. These coccons were from South Africa, but in spite of their exceptional gymnastic efficiency Dr. Sharp hardened his heart and sacrificed them upon the altar of science, in the hope of discovering something unusual that would explain the powers of jumping. The coccons looked like a piece of oval pottery, about 5 millimeters long, and having a rough surface. In each of the two investigated a pupa was found. The two were similar in every respect, and they no doubt belonged to the larvae that made the coccons. “This little pupa,” says Dr. Sharp, “is shut up in a remarkably hard, thick cocoon, and it has to get out. Nature has not provided it with caustic potash for the purpose, but has endowed it with a mechanism of complex perfection to accomplish this little object. On the front of the head it has a sharp, chisel edge, and with this it has to cut through the pottery, contracting itself to the utmost in the posterior part of the cocoon and retaining itself in this position by the hooks on the mobile part of the body. It is a condition of elastic tension in consequence of the other side of the body being so differently formed and immobile. “Therefore, releasing the hold of the hooks, the pupa is discharged forward, and the chisel piece strikes the front part of the cocoon. Repeating this an enormous number of times, a circle may be gradually inscribed on the inside of the far end of the cocoon, which gives way when sufficiently weakened and the insect becomes free. In both the specimens the inside of the cocoon is about half cut through. Either this is done as the result of a prolonged series of wriggles or of shocks such as I have described. It is by no means improbable that the early part of the performance is carving the groove by wriggling, the latter part knocking it off by jumping against it.” The pupa is thus a most interesting one to entomologists.

About 12 locks a tug with only two lights burnt at the masthead was seen to approach, and the flashlight of the Vesuvius was thrown upon her. The tug moved to be the Alexander Jones, and captain gave as an excuse for his presence that he was waiting for tows. Officer of the Vesuvius was placed guard, and then the crusier went out near in search of the Bermuda, which expected. A steamer was finally coming from the south, having same signals displayed as those of Jones. The flashlight was used, at which the steamer turned and started another direction. A signal from Vesuvius brought the steamer to a dockstill, however, and she was seen by the Bermuda. The Bermuda was inside the three-mile limit and under British flag, so that the commander of Vesuvius had no authority to gain her. The Bermuda apparently had no cargo on board, standing very high out of the water. The Jones was sorted into port at Fernandina and moved over to Collector of Customsitzell, who placed a deputy aboard.

Booth talked with the men for three hours through the crevices of the barn, through which he could see plainly all that were outside, while they could distinguish nothing within. Booth told Doherty. Doherty that he had a bead drawn upon him and could shoot if he choose, but he did not fire. At last, as guerrillas were gathering in the vicinity, and Doherty feared his little party might be overpowered and lose the prisoners, he determined to burn them out. The barn was set on fire, when Harold gave himself up. Booth refused to surrender, and prepared to use his weapons. Doherty then gave orders to Sergt. Boston Corbett to fire, which he did through the crevices, and shot Booth in the head. Upon being shot, Booth exclaimed: "It is all up now; I'm gone."

These pills are not a purgative medicine. They contain nothing that could injure the most delicate system. They act directly on the blood, supplying to the blood its life-giving qualities by assisting it to absorb oxygen, that great supporter of all organic life. In this way the blood, becoming "built up" and being supplied with lacking constituents, becomes rich and red, nourishes the various organs, stimulating them to activity in the performance of their functions, and thus to eliminate diseases from the system. These Pills are manufactured by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company. Schenectady, N.Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold in bulk. They may be had of all drugs or direct by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine Company. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment inexpensive as compared with other remedies. A PURITAN THANKGIVING. The Model Bill of Fare For Their Annual Feast. We have no record of just how the Puritans' Thanksgiving tables were set, but from contemporaneous pictures we can judge that there were few, if any, forks each guest being supplied with a knife. They sat on benches and chests; ate from pewter platters, and the tail was in most cases literally a board placed on wooden horses. They had few chairs or tables; but were plentifully supplied with chests containing their linen and wardrobes; and these served in the place of chairs. In later colonial times chairs and tables became more plentiful and forks were more common, but all preferred to eat with their knives on account of the dangerous, sharp steel points of the two pronged forks. The table and dishes were arranged as follows: THANKSGIVING DINNER OF 1720. FIRST COURSE.

The tree has never been a credit to the royal gardener, and in the words of the park authorities, if you wish to find it, "Look for a sickly looking elm, and when you see it you will know it is the one Prince of Wales planted." It has fared better, however, than the tree planted by the Prince of Wales at Mount Vernon, where, in an inclosed place, is a tree, "planted in the place of the tree planted by the Prince of Wales," or words to that effect, as a sign on the inclosure says. People who know say that illustrious persons who plant trees for the benefit of posterity and to insure a green monument to their own memories do not always know what they are about. The 18 trees planted by Alexander Hamilton were planted in a space not much more than large enough for one tree to grow in and thrive.—New York Times. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS CHILDREN Promotes Digestion, Cheerfulness and Rest.
