Tone, Durability and Beauty
Are the essentials of a perfect piano.
To get such a piano at a price that will please the most conservative buyer is another thing to consider. To get a Mathushek Piano manufactured by Mathushek & Son of New York, is to get an ideal constructed piano, and if purchased of us at a price that is bound to please. It is among the oldest makes manufactured, and for over sixty years has stood the test and won the approval of critics and artists the world over. It is the only piano with a double sounding board that cannot possibly crack. We can give a list of people in Orange county that have used this make over twenty years, and their pianos are today in better tone and condition than half the new pianos sold today. We also have a number of other makes that will please for the money we ask for them. Drop us a line and we will call, or visit our store before getting a piano.

Scarecrows.
The term is almost a misnomer, now-a-day. For the "century-living crow" has been schooled by experience. The scarecrow doesn't scare him. Investigating ornithologists say that he can tell a gun from a stick and can count up to seven. Evidently the crow has progressed from the ignorance of his ancestry.
The crow is in some things in advance of the human family. There are scarecrows which scared our grandfathers and which are just as fearsome to us. In spite of the fact that some scientific investigators say,"There're nothing to be afraid of." Scarecrow hurt you," the bulk of women still believe the scarecrow is a powerful and destroying fetish.
This attitude is most marked in relation to certain forms of disease. In diseases of the lungs and respiratory organs, for instance, it is custom to assume that there is no cure for the cough, no help for the hemorrhage, no healing for the lungs. The scarecrow, cumption, is set up often taking the form of some inexperienced and unskilled practitioner who denies hope or help to the victim of disease.
Yet the records go to show that stubborn coughs have been cured; that persistent hemorrhages have been stopped; and that weak lungs have been made strong by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medicine Discovery.
TESTIMONY TALKS.
All the claims in the world for the cure virtues of a medicine will not cure one testimony to the actual fact of cure Thousands of testimonial like the following have been received from persons curved of lung "troubles," bronchitis, hemorrhage obstinate coughs, etc., by "Golden Medicine"
"I was very sick indeed," writes Mrs. Molloy Jacobs of Felton, Kent Co., Delaware,"anour family doctor said I had consumption thought I must die soon; for felt so awful bad. Had a bad cough,sight blood was very short of breath in fact,could hardly get any chest and right lung also had dyspepsia Before I took your Golden Medical Discovery"
"I was so weak I could not sweep a room,and now I can do a small washing.I worked in the canning factory this fall,and I feel like a new person.I thank be good Lord,and also Dr.Pierce,making this good medicine.I believe that the Lord and your medicine have saved my life,sick over two years.I took thirteen bottles of the Golden Med."

JOHNSON HOLDS THE BAG.
Anaheim Delivers Mail to the Santa Fe Oil Wells, and the Fullerton Squawk. Alias the Bunghole, is Sad.
Our esteemed Democratic contemporary, the Fullerton Squawk, alias the Bunghole, edited by a weakling named Sucker Johnson, is wrathy because Anaheim is delivering mail into "its territory"—the Santa Fe oil wells. This, according to the Bunghole of the 11th of August, was construed as "a very nervy proposition"—in fact, to adopt the Bunghole's choice vocabulary "it was gally—cheeky." But mail has been going from Anaheim to the wells since last Monday, and all hands are entirely satisfied and jubilant. The route is one of the finest in the State, and carrier Lincoln (a good name that, by the way, and a good Republican, too) is doing his level best to please all the oil well people, our good-looking friend Potter included. All hands seem to be entirely pleased with the service, but the Bunghole is alone in its sadness. Like the whang doodle, it mourneth for its first born, so to speak. Its lamentations fill the land. It mourneth in sack cloth and ashes. It is sad.
From the issue of the Bunghole of Friday last we cull the subjoined choice extract dealing with its attempt to dictate to Congressman Needham, relative to the oil well route, at the Coronado Hotel, August 27th:
"We did go to San Diego to see Congressman Needham in the interest of Fullerton free delivery route No. 2, at the same time Ketch'll went down there to knock it out. As to who did the lying, we are willing to leave the matter to W. L. Hale, L. W. Potter or to Mr. Needham himself. Ketch'll stated to Mr. Needham that Anaheim route 3 was only one mile south of Ful-
day Lincoln called to discuss the matter at any length, but on Lincoln's second trip he was assured the men would have their mail delivered on the route—in fact were ready and willing to become subscribers whenever the route should begin operations.
Thereupon and thereafter the Democratic Bunghole has sought to put words into the mouths of the oil men. Since that time its lying utterances, aided and abetted by the personal lying of its editor and a crew of hired lackeys, (hired to lie Anaheim out of countenance) have conspired to create a distrust of the route, to the end that all probable subscribers henceforth declared that, if the route should be formed, they would cheerfully become subscribers to the service.
Mr. Potter will not deny that, speaking with Lincoln, he made the statement that if mail from Anaheim reached the wells by noon, it would be entirely satisfactory to him as far as he was concerned. On the train going to Coronado he spoke in line with his former conversation. He said at that time if the mail from Anaheim reached the wells at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon (as the Bunghole insisted) the service would not be satisfactory.
Nor would it. We assured him the people of this city had no such gold brick to offer; that if they could not get the mail to the wells as quickly as on any other route, they would not ask for the service at all. We shall not permit the Bunghole to cause any friction between Mr. Potter and ourselves.
What have been the utterances of this preposterous Democratic newspaper, which shouted for Dr. Castle and calamity against Congressman Needham two years ago? Speaking of the attempt of the citizens of this city to extend the blessings of rural free wells for the service. Orders were taken for boxes simultaneously. Tween 60 and 70 employees at the warehouse in the Santa Fe section signed for service and boxes, all declaring that they would much prefer the press service rather than undertake to hire their mail changed to Anaheim and cease it by the moonlight route. A resident of Anaheim went to the Santa wells, secured a list of the employees and entered their names on the list; the service, which they did not want and never will accept. They are entitled to a little sayso in the matter will so convince the Anaheimers why they try to force the service upon oil well people. Fullerton route No. will be established just as soon as authorities act on the petition."
There is nothing in this paragraph except a studied attempt to deceive lie about men who were carrying out work calculated to be of great service to the oil well people. "A resident Anaheim went to the oil wells, secured a list of the employees and entered their names on the list for the service which they did not and never will accept." Indeed! Now that mail has been going to the wells on the route nearly a week, and all the oil well people are better satisfied with the arrangements than at any time since the establishment of the town, does the travail.ofthe Bunghole seize in the ear? "Fullerton route No. will be established just as soon as authorities act on the petition." This was on the 18th of August—over month ago. The Bunghole's lying view of the probability that the application for the establishment of free delivery in California is exhausted is somewhat embarrassing. How will its lying continue to fool these well people?
August 24 (nearly a month ago blustered:
"Fullerton route No. 2, free
From the issue of the Bunghole of Friday last we cull the subjoined choice extract dealing with its attempt to dictate to Congressman Needham, relative to the oil well route, at the Coronado Hotel, August 27th:
"We did go to San Diego to see Congressman Needham in the interest of Fullerton free delivery route No. 2, at the same time Ketchall went down there to knock it out. As to who did the lying, we are willing to leave the matter to W. L. Hale, L. W. Potter or Mr. Needham himself. Ketchall stated to Mr. Needham that Anaheim route 3 was only one mile south of Fullerton's proposed route 2; that most all of the employees at the oil wells had signed the petition for the service from Anaheim; that Mr. Potter stated to him on the train that mail from Anaheim reaching the wells by noon would be satisfactory to the employees. These were a few of Ketchall's lies—and there were others. This green-eyed monster says Congressman Needham turned us down. Congressman Needham stated to us that politics had nothing whatsoever to do with establishing free delivery and he O. K'd our petition for Fullerton route No. 2, recommending that the postoffice department at Washington immediately send an inspector here to look over the proposed route and report to the department. This is the way we were turned down, notwithstanding the fact that Ketchall and his political backers were trying to knock out our petition. Ketchall in his weakly Gazcoe also says the congressional delegation stood "manfully by Mr. Needham and endorsed his action." Indorsed what action?—the O. K-ing of our petition?
Here is what the Congressional delegation endorsed—we have a copy of the entire petition, but quote only the two paragraphs bearing upon this subject:
"3. That we recommend that the three routes of rural free delivery established at Anaheim be endorsed by the Congressman from this district, the same having been examined by the Inspector of Rural Free Delivery, and his recommendation endorsing the same being now on file with the Postoffice Department at Washington.
4. That the establishment of rural route No. 2 at Fullerton is recommended by this delegation, on lines in accordance with the instructions for the formation of routes of rural free delivery."
That is what the delegation to the Congressional Convention signed—eight out of the nine members of the delegation. And what could be fairer? There are no gold bricks in that, and the Bunghole is welcome to all the satisfaction it can extract from it. In fact the petition was written to satisfy the Bunghole and nobody else. We know whereof we speak—we wrote it ourselves.
Relating to the alleged lying about our Route No. 3, we said to Mr. Needham that we had observed the rules of the Postoffice Department and had kept a mile away from the lines of Fullerton Route No. 1. We believe there is a place a mile or two south of the wells where, on account of the hills to the east, our line runs a little closer to the east line of the Fullerton district. But the instructions in making the map of Anaheim's third route were explicit and emphatic: Keep a mile away from Fullerton's line. Obey the instructions of the Postoffice Department. Nothing was said
Nor would it. We assured him the people of this city had no such gold brick to offer; that if they could not get the mail to the wells as quickly as on any other route, they would not ask for the service at all. We shall not permit the Bunghole to cause any friction between Mr. Potter and ourselves.
What have been the utterances of this preposterous Democratic newspaper, which shouted for Dr. Castle and calamity against Congressman Needham two years ago? Speaking of the attempt of the citizens of this city to extend the blessings of rural free delivery to the oil wells, it said, on August 11th last, getting quite red in the face:
"It is reported that Anaheim will attempt to take in the oil fields in a free rural mail delivery route. They are now trying to knock out a part of the established Fullerton route in the Orangestherpe district in favor of one of their routes. We suppose our neighbors will next want to deliver mail to Fullerton merchants. Fullerton was first section in Orange county enterprising enough to ask for free rural delivery, and it required a lot of hard work to get up the route, and now our neighbor town steps in and wants to knock out a portion of an established route, and also to establish a service in the Fullerton oil well section. This is a very nery proposition—in fact it is cheeky; gally. Wonder If the Anaheimmiles think for a moment the oil well people would have their mail changed from Fullerton to Anaheim? Not while they are sane."
Relative to our attempt to "knock cut" a portion of Fullerton's one established route, we say again, as we said last week, that nothing could possibly be further from the truth. The facts, as already stated, are: A man named Daniels, who had been acting as solicitor for Fullerton, went down along the section line at Brookshurst and began lying about the route being formed in this city (our Route No. 2). He approached Mrs. E. Browning, Victor Browning, A. H Cargill, C. F Blackfan, Charles Allgeyer, Mr. Dahlman and others—all of whom had signed the petition for the second route being formed in this city—and said to them that the route would not be formed, and that if they desired to have their mail delivered it must come from Fullerton, as Anaheim would not be able to form a route. He took down their names to a paper, saying that would entitle them to "a box" on his route. He knew at that time a map had been surreptitiously prepared placing them in the Fullerton route. These people had always received their mail through Anaheim office; they transacted their business here; were residents of a section tributary to this city, and wanted to be in the free delivery route beginning from this city.
When Daniel's untruthfulness was some days thereafter discovered, these people were outspoken in their denunciation of him, and when, some days later, he showed up with a mail box and demanded $3.50 from each, they flatly refused to accept of the boxes, saying they had originally signed to be served from this city, that they had been misinformed by him, and having cornered him in an untruthful refusal absolutely to have anything further to do
Nor would it. We assured him the people of this city had no such gold brick to offer; that if they could not get the mail to the wells as quickly as on any other route, they would not ask for the service at all. We shall not permit the Bunghole to cause any friction between Mr. Potter and ourselves.

Relating to the alleged lying about our Route No. 3, we said to Mr. Needham that we had observed the rules of the Postoffice Department and had kept a mile away from the lines of Fullerton Route No. 1. We believe there is a place a mile or two south of the wells where, on account of the hills to the east, our line runs a little closer to the east line of the Fullerton district. But the instructions in making the map of Anaheim’s third route were explicit and emphatic: Keep a mile away from Fullerton’s line. Obey the instructions of the Postoffice Department. Nothing was said of Fullerton’s second route—that was not formed (it is not formed yet.) But we said we had kept a mile away from Fullerton’s established route; that was according to the rules, and the positive instructions of Major Jeffrey, and that is just what Fullerton will have to do with reference to our established routes—keep a mile away from their outside boundaries. Only that and nothing more.
As to the employees at the wells favoring the Anaheim route, we have Carrier Lincoln’s word and subscription list, showing, as the result of his first day’s solicitation, the names of 21 employees upon his list. The very same day he was assured by one of the largest employers of labor at the wells, that he had eighteen men in his employ, and that probably all of them would subscribe for a box on the route. This gentleman was too busy on the

When Daniel’s untruthfulness was some days thereafter discovered, these people were outspoken in their denunciation of him, and when, some days later, he showed up with a mail box and demanded $3.50 from each, they flatly refused to accept of the boxes, saying they had originally signed to be served from this city, that they had been misinformed by him, and having cornered him in an untruth, refused absolutely to have anything further to do with him.
When these matters were laid before Major Jeffrey he ordered the map of the Fullerton route modified to the extent that it was made to recede a half-mile to the north, thus excluding these people from its boundaries, and placing them in the Anaheim district.
At this time Lincoln was making excellent progress in soliciting subscribers for route No. 3. The names of 21 subscribers was pretty good work for one day—wasn’t it? And promises from one of the largest operators in the wells for 18 more, was also pretty good, wasn’t it? That’s nearly half as many as Fullerton has in its entire one established route.
August 18th the Fullerton paper apparently heard that Inspector Jeffrey had been over the route and approved it, for it delivered itself of the following, its face turning to a deep rich beefsteak color:
"Anaheim claims that Capt. Jeffrey has recommended that a free rural mail delivery route be established from that city, taking in Olive, Yorba and the Santa Fe oil wells. If the oil well people were to accept the services from that city—which they refuse to do—they would receive their mail about 4 p.m. daily. The way the alleged route is laid out the carrier would first make deliveries in a portion of Anaheim, then in Olive and Yorba before he would reach the wells. The oil well people would all have to change their mail from Fullerton to Anaheim; this they absolutely refuse todo. Anaheim wants to force this on the employees; they did not sign the petition for the route from Anaheim nor did they subscribe for the boxes on the alleged route. Should the mail be changed from Fullerton to Anaheim 7-10 of it would continue to come to Fullerton for many years. A petition for route No. 2 from Fullerton was circulated this week and up to last night over 100 signatures had been secured at
People at the latter place will receive the service from Anaheim having signed the petition to co-ordinate route No. 2 from Fullerton. This route is established by means of a letter placed at the latter place (the oil wells) will receive the service from Anaheim signing the petition to co-ordinate route No. 2 from Fullerton.
The mendacity of the fellows never more completely exhibited when he entered the territory rural mail route, already officially ped by the County Surveyor, proved by the Inspector of Rural Delivery, and by lying and nonsensory sought to secure support to his mythical “Fullerton Route.” Of course, even had his apprehension by the Postoffice ties, it would have been prompted down because of false pretend part of its originators, in a district already formed, and causing subscribers by misreception. The Postoffice Department not stand for such work.
And as we were required
FE, Brea canyon and Puente for the service. Orders were for boxes simultaneously. Be-80 and 70 employees at the wells Santa Fe signed for the and boxes, all declaring that much prefer the present rather than undertake to have all changed to Anaheim and re-by the moonlight route. A resi-Anaheim went to the Santa Fe secured a list of the employees entered their names on the list for service, which they did not want ever will accept. They are eno-a little sayso in the matter and convince the Anahelmers when they try to force the service upon the people. Fullerton route No. 2 established just as soon as the cities act on the petition."
There is nothing in this paragraph a studied attempt to deceive—to put men who were carrying on a calculated to be of great service toll well people. "A resident of him went to the oil wells, secured of the employees and entered names on the list for the service, they did not and never will ac-Ineed! Now that mail has been to the wells on the route for a week, and all the oil well pee better satisfied with the mailaments than at any time since establishment of the town, how the travail of the Bunghole sound ear? "Fullerton route No. 2 established just as soon as the cities act on the petition." So? was on the 18th of August—over a ago. The Bunghole's lying, in of the probability that the appro-nion for the establishment of rural delivery in California is exhausted, what embarrassing. How long lies continue to fool the oil people?
August 24 (nearly a month ago) it reared:
Fullerton route No. 2, free rural Fullerton route No. 2, free rural away, according to the rules governing the establishment of rural free delivery, no less than a mile from the boundaries of Fullerton route No. 1, so will this Popocratic fellow be required to keep away a similar distance from the lines of our routes. Only that and nothing more.
The Bunghole closes its career of lying about the rural free delivery by publishing the following letter from Congressman Needham:
"Edgar Johnson, Fullerton, Cal.
'Modesto, Cal., Sept. 1, 1900—Dear Sir: I have asked the postoffice department to send a special agent to investigate your second rural free delivery route at the earliest possible date, and I have no nobt that he will be upon hand within a short time, and will so adjust the routes there as to give satisfaction to the greatest number. Yours very truly,
J. C. Needham."
Mr. Needham says in this letter precisely what he told the delegates to the Congressional Convention, who recommended the formation of a second rural route for Fullerton; but they also endorsed Anaheim's three routes, and Congressman Needham certainly will not permit the destruction of a mail route already established and in splendid working order to gratify the spite of an idiotic incompetent who shouted himself red in the face yelling for Calamity Castle two years ago. Nevertheless this fellow will be accorded respectful hearing on the part of Mr. Needham. If Fullerton desires a second route, by all means let them have it. But let its citizens take our advice and put a man in charge of the work; not a drivelling nincompoop who is out of his element when dealing with men folks.
Johnson walls: "Congressman Needham told us there was no politics in rural free delivery." Nor is there; yet the Republicans of Anaheim will not stand idly and by see this Popocratic
SUCCESS WITH SMYRNA FIGS.
A Fresno Grower Raises Fine Fruit with the Aid of the Blastophaga.
The year 1900 will be remarkable in the history of fig culture in California, as it will record the production for the first time, not only in this State, but in all America, of a crop of Smyrna figs fertilized by the process of caprification.
From time immemorial the operation, which consists in transferring the insect known to science as the blastophaga from the wild, or Capri fig, to the trees which produce the figs of commerce, has been practiced in Asia Minor, whence large quantities are imported under the name of Smyrna figs.
In describing the process, now known to be indispensable to the production of the choicest figs, it should be primarily understood that the blossom of the fig tree is contained inside of the fig, and that, therefore, the true fruit of the fig tree is the seed found in the fig; that the fig itself is what botanists call a receptacle—viz., a stem or support—of the flower and fruit; and also that there are two kinds of flowers—the staminate, or male, and the pistillate, or female, flowers. It should also be known that there are two races of figs—those like the varieties in common cultivation in this State, such as the Mission, or Black California, the Brown Turkey, the White Adriatic and others containing both male and female flowers which fertilize themselves and produce a crop without external aid, and the Smyrna, which is deficient in the male flowers but contains an abundance of the pistillate, or female flowers, and which must be fertilized with the pollen of some other variety of fig to insure a crop. There is, moreover, a so-called wild fig, known in Asia Minor as the
establishment of the town, how one travail of the Bunghole sound the ear? "Fullerton route No. 2 is established just as soon as the cities act on the petition." So? Was on the 18th of August—over a year ago. The Bunghole's lying, in of the probability that the approval for the establishment of rural delivery in California is exhausted, what embarrassing. How long is lying continue to fool the oil people?
Just 24 (nearly a month ago) it fired:
Fullerton route No. 2, free rural delivery, taking in the Santa Fe, Canyon and Puente, and in fact the oil-well territory, will be established in about two weeks. Residents of well sections should not pay any attention to parties who are trying to a route on them from Anaheim. Fullwell company or employees will drive from that town. If the representative of Anaheim proposed routes any promises, ask him to point out in the official circular giving particulars of the service. Also member only one family or person be served in a box. Stand by Anton route 2, and you will get exempt delivery of mail FROM FULSON."
The representative of Anaheim's closed route 3 makes any promises, him to point them out in the off-circular," etc. What "promises" it has the "representative of Anaheim's closed route 3" make, except to say he was ready and willing to de-mail on a route already approved major Jeffrey? What more could be desired? "Also remember only one boy or person can be supplied in a." What of that? The insinuation Lincoln did not follow the instruction this regard is puerile—is, in pretty thin.
This was three days before the Considal convention at Coronado. Fullerton's route No. 2 will be established in about two weeks. Residents of oil-well section should not pay attention to parties who are trying force a route on them from Anaheim." No, it seems not; they are not being any attention to the Fullerton democratic sheet, but they are getting our mail from Anaheim. And Fulton's route No. 2, which was to be published "in about two weeks," there is it? Pretty thin lying, this, but it?
The issue of September 7th the Bunghole man had a fit:
It is reported that the Anaheim master received notice to begin mail delivery from that city Sept. Route No. 3 embraces Olive,oba and Santa Fe oil wells, but theople at the latter place will refuse to receive the service from Anaheim, being signed the petition to come in Route No. 2 from Fullerton. When route is established the mail will have Fullerton and go direct to the Santa Fe wells, arriving there at noon. Buy of the residents of the oil wells due to decide to receive their mail Anaheim, it would have to be forced from Fullerton, which would take it one day late, to say nothing of mail going from that city to Olive Yorba before it reached the wells.
Every resident of the wells should—we believe they will—stand by Fullerton route No. 2, and not have Anaheim force a mail service on them have not asked for nor do not incompetent who shouted himself red in the face yelling for Calamity Castle two years ago. Nevertheless this fellow will be accorded respectful hearing on the part of Mr. Needham. If Fullerton desires a second route, by all means let them have it. But let its citizens take our advice and put a man in charge of the work; not a drivelling nincompoo who is out of his element when dealing with men folks.
Johnson walls: "Congressman Needham told us there was no politics in rural free delivery." Nor is there; yet the Republicans of Anaheim will not stand idly by and see this Popocratic Fullerton newspaper destroy a mail route already formed and in successful working order.
At last accounts last night Johnson was still holding the bag. He may succeed in getting it filled with gold bricks if he don't watch out.
DEAR BOY LETTER No. 3.
My Dear Boy—Senator Wm. M. Stewart has said about the so-called imperialism issue just what I meant to say in this letter. So I send you his statement and defer any remarks of my own till some future time. Meanwhile, I take this opportunity to answer your last epistle.
You say that you told Mr. Skinner that labor had never been more adequately rewarded than during McKinley's administration, and that he replied, "That is not true so far as farmers are concerned. Before the demonstration of silver I sold my wool for fifty cents a pound and my wheat for a dollar and a half bushel."
Yes, my son, your father remembers those days. I taught school in the Skinner district the winter of 1872-73, just before the act which Democrats call the "crime of '73." I boarded with old man Skinner all winter. He did sell his wheat for a dollar and a half and his wool for forty-five cents in 1872. I will mention some facts which he forgot to tell you, and you may jog his memory a little. I studied algebra that winter by the light of a home-made tallow dip because Skinner could not afford to buy oil. Oil was forty cents-a gallon. Now, in these days when the Standard Oil company is crushing the life out of Skinner he takes his oil can to the grocery and buys a gallon for twelve cents.
We used roasted wheat and burnt molasses in place of coffee that winter because coffee was forty-five and fifty cents a pound. Now, the insatiable coffee trust makes Skinner pay thirteen cents a pound for good roasted coffee.
We used home-made sorghum instead of sugar. Skinner bought just six pounds of dirty-looking brown sugar that winter and he paid a dollar for the six pounds. Now, in these awful times, when the sugar trust is grinding the farmers under its iron heel, Skinner gets sixteen pounds of nice granulated sugar for a dollar.
Mrs. Skinner had one calico dress which she saved for Sundays. On week days she wore a linen dress woven by her own hands. Calico was twenty-two cents a yard and people spoke of its being cheap at that. Now you can get or female, flowers. It should also be known that there are two races of figs—those like the varieties in common cultivation in this State, such as the Mission, or Black California, the Brown Turkey, the White Adriatic and others containing both male and female flowers which fertilize themselves and produce a crop without external aid, and the Smyrna, which is deficient in the male flowers but contains an abundance of the pistillate, or female flowers, and which must be fertilized with the pollen of some other variety of fig to insure a crop. There is, moreover, a so-called wild fig, known in Asia Minor as the Capri fig (hence the word capricification), which is supplied with both pistillate and staminate flowers.
The blastophaga is a minute wasp, not over one-eighth of an inch in length, and it propagates abundantly in the Capri fig, its natural home. The insect lays its eggs in a flower, which; as the minute grub develops, forms a gall that protects and furnishes food for the little larva until it emerges, a perfect insect. It is a curious provision of nature that only the female wasp is provided with wings, which are necessary to enable it to sally forth in order to propagate the species by laying her eggs in other figs; while the male having performed his function, dies in the fig in which he was born.
Insects play an important part in the fertilization of flowers, a notable instance being the pollination of the flowers of the red clover by the bumble bee. Some years ago it was found necessary to introduce that insect into Australia, in order that red clover seed might be raised in that island. The blastophaga is as necessary to the Smyrna fig as the bumble bee is to the red clover.
Cuttings of the Smyrna fig imported by the San Francisco Bulletin in 1881 were distributed gratuitously throughout the Pacific coast where the climate admitted of fig-growing. Thousands became thrifty trees, and in the course of a few years commenced to bear. Then the trouble began. The fruit dropped off when it was about half grown, and this occurred year after year, and it is doubtful if a single fig on any of these thousands of trees ever reached maturity. It began to look as if all the expense and trouble had gone for naught.
At that time very little was known in this country about the blastophaga and capricification, although a few Capri fig cuttings had been included in the shipment, at the suggestion of Mr. Smithers, who was familiar with the process as practiced by the growers in Asia Minor. However, without the insect the Capri trees were useless; besides at that time, there existed a great deal of scepticism with reference to the necessity of the operation.
An old English botanist, Loudon, in one of his works, asserted that the process was the result of ignorance and superstition among the natives of a half-civilized country; while a commission appointed by the Italian government for a special study of the matter pronounced against the operation as useless and troublesome.
It is an interesting fact that
At the latter place will refuse to receive the service from Anaheim, having signed the petition to come in Route No. 2 from Fullerton. When the route is established the mail will have Fullerton and go direct to the Santa Fe wells, arriving there at noon. Buy of the residents of the oil wells to decide to receive their mail from Anaheim, it would have to be forwarded from Fullerton, which would take one day late, to say nothing of mail going from that city to Olive Yorba before it reached the wells. Every resident of the wells should—if we believe they will—stand by Fullerton route No. 2, and not have Anaheim force a mail service on them they have not asked nor do not want. The inspector is expected here a few days to look over Fullerton route No. 2.
But the people at the lat-place (the oil wells) will refuse to receive the service from Anaheim, having signed the petition to come in Route No. 2 from Fullerton." Because they needed for the Fullerton route (which was not then in existence; is not yet, and probably never will be on the lines laid out by the Bunghole), they will receive mail on the Anaheim route! Nonsense. The Anaheim route fully established, and was in active course of formation when the Fullerton super had this fit.
The mendacity of the fellow was never more completely exhibited than when he entered the territory of a rural mail route, already officially mapped by the County Surveyor, and approved by the Inspector of Rural Free delivery, and by lying and misrepresentation sought to secure subscribers in his mythical "Fullerton Route 2." Of course, even had his application gone far enough to meet with an inspection by the Postoffice authorities, it would have been promptly turned down, because of false pretenses on the part of its originators, in entering district already formed, and thus securing subscribers by misrepresentation. The Postoffice Department would not stand for such work.

Mrs. Skinner had one calico dress which she saved for Sundays. On week days she wore a linsey dress woven by her own hands. Calico was twenty-two cents a yard and people spoke of its being cheap at that. Now you can get good calico at five to six cents.
The Skinners rode to town in a big farm-wagon in those days. I remember hearing Skinner ask the price of a buggy and, when he was told that it was a hundred and forty dollars, he sighed and said that he could not afford to buy. Two years ago he bought two new buggies, one for himself and Mrs. Skinner, and one for the girls, Melinda and Maria. He got the two for a hundred and ten dollars, fifty-five dollars apiece.
When I got through teaching that school I bought me a suit of clothes. It was a ready-made suit of rather ordinary goods and cost me twenty-eight dollars. This summer I bought a better suit from Dowd & Beckley for twelve dollars and fifty cents.
In those days Skinner sold a pound of wool for forty-five cents. For the money he could buy less than three pounds of sugar, or a little more than a gallon of oil, or one pound of coffee, or two yards of calico. This year he sold

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After Thirty Years of Suffering.
"I suffered for thirty years with diarrhoea and thought I was past being cured," says John S. Halloway, of French Camp, Miss. "I had spent so much time and money and suffered so much that I had given up all hopes of recovery. I was so feeble from the effects of the diarrhoea that I could do no kind of labor, could not even travel. By accident I was permitted to find a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after taking several bottles I am entirely cured of that trouble. I am so pleased with the result that I am anxious that it be in reach of all who suffer as I have."
