Dear Boy Letter No. 13.
Continued from First page.
his wool for twenty-seven cents a pound. With the money he can buy four and a half pounds of sugar, or two and a fourth gallons of oil, or two and a fourth pounds of coffee, or five yards of calico.
Now it seems to me as plain as daylight that the best remuneration for labor and farming products is the amount of food or clothing you can get for them. I am best paid for the labors of a day when I can buy the most with the wages for the day.
Judged by this standard, never were the workingmen, and especially the farmers, of America, so prosperous as during McKinley's administration. There has been plenty of work for everybody who wants to work. Our folks have just been getting their church painted. They put me on the committee to attend to the matter, and the hardest thing I had to do was to find a painter. Every painter to whom I went had work engaged ahead for the season. At last I found a boy who knew a little about painting and gave him the job, and he did very well. Not only has there been plenty of work, but wages have been good and would buy far more of the necessities and comforts of life than the wages of the laborer in the days of depreciated currency after the civil war.
Meanwhile, everybody knows that this prosperity has come about under the Dingley tariff, under a gold standard, and under a Republican administration. They also know that the Democratic platform dictated by Mr. Bryan denounces the Dingley tariff and the gold standard.
My boy, it is simply astonishing to me that any workingman, or farmer, or business man should think seriously of voting the Democratic ticket this year. Leaving out the requirements of patriotism, self-interest ought to make every man a Republican this year. A supposition that the nation will vote to tear down our protective system and precipitate a financial revolution is an insult to the intelligence of the American people.

WHO KNEW LEST?
When the Maine was blown up and the press and the people who clamor joined in a cry for our American navy to go down and shell Havana without waiting for an investigation, and the President withheld the order and waited his time, who was right, the President or the press and the people who clamor?
When the clamorous press and the clamorous people demanded that the belligerency of the Cubans be recognized forthwith, and congress tagged at its tether and threatened revolt against the administration if belligerency was not recognized, the President stood firm and waited the orderly process of events and bided his time, who was right, the President or the press and people who clamor?
When the administration seemed slow in declaring war, even after the report on the destruction of the Maine had been filed, and congressmen, afraid of their constituents, went to the White House to read the riot act to the President and force him to flaunt the red flag of defiance in the face of Europe as well as of Spain, and the President waited until he could, through the establishment of relations of cordiality with Great Britain, make it to the interest of the continental nations of Europe to keep their hands off, which was right, the President or the press and people who clamor?
When at last war with Spain was declared and raw levies of impatient patriotic volunteers were trying to make themselves into soldiers, and the press and the people who clamor demanded an immediate invasion of Cuba, and the President stood firm and waited the issue of the naval combat, but finally, when all was ready, struck the single blow which ended Spanish power on the western continent, which was right, the President or the press and the people who clamor?
And the same press and those same people who clamored against the President and his policy, and were confounded—confessedly confounded—by the issue of events, which justified the President and were their own condemnation, are now, almost without exception, clamoring for the election of William J. Bryan and the defeat of William McKinley, the wise, prudent, tactful
A Floral Nosebleed.

He was ing at the trilliums and explaining answer to a question, that he had ways heard them called nose. Somewhere, then—I omitted to inquire—this is their "vulgar" name Franconia the people call them Limns, which has a pleasant Bound sound—better than nosebleed, events—though, to my thinking illum is preferable to either of both for sound and for sense.

I was putting my hand to my chest, wondering why I should have taken so childishly, when it came to me what he meant. He was look-at-the trilliums and explained, in never to a question, that he had always heard them called nosebleed. Nowhere, then—I omitted to inquire there—this is their "vulgar" name. In Wisconsin the people call them Benjama, which has a pleasant Biblical word—better than nosebleed, at all times—though, to my thinking, trillium is preferable to either of them for sound and for sense.

Success With Smurna Figs.
Continued from First page
who wrote about the year 340 B.C., mentions at page 31 of a late Paris edition of his works, the insect under the name of Pseu in the Greek and Psone in Latin. He was under the impression that the male, being without wings, was a different species from the female. He calls the winged form Knipes in Greek, evidently the source of our word "cyneps," which is now used by some writers to designate the race of insects to which the wasp belongs. Capricification he describes under the name of erenasmos, and mentions that when the bad weather destroyed all the figs containing insects, the growers sent boats to the islands for supplies. Thus the practice mentioned by Mr. Smithers of sending to the islands of the Grecian Archipelago for Capri figs was customary more than 2200 years ago.
Dr. Gustaf Eisen of the California Academy of Sciences made a careful study of the fig question, and was probably the first person in this State to insist that Smyrna figs could not be grown until the insect was obtained. As a striking evidence in support of his view it may be mentioned that one day Dr. Eisen and E.W.Maslin, while making investigations in the Shing nursery at Niles, found among the dried Capri figs from a tree of the Bulletin importation, some that contained an abundance of pollen which could be shaken out into the hand. By means of toothpicks they forced some of the pollen dust into the eyes of a number of Smyrna figs, and marked every fig so treated by tying a tape to the stem. It was found afterward that every one of these figs came to perfection, and that they were the only ones on all the many trees that reached maturity.
Efforts were at once made to import the insect. Under instructions from the late James Shinn, a missionary of his acquaintance in the Aldin district sent figs containing the blastophaga by mail, and in some instances live insects arrived, but the Capri figs were either too old or too young to sustain them.
It remained for George C.Roeding of Fresno to achieve, in the premises, the initial American success. Last season, according to arrangements made by him, he received a succession of shipments of Capri figs by mail from

The Traces of the Beenga.
On every side in the Malay wilds the traces of the beasts—which here live as secluded, as safe from molestation, as did their ancestors in pre-Adamite days—are visible on tree trunk, on beaten game path and on the yielding clay at the drinking places by the hurrying stream. Here a belt of mud nine feet from the ground shows that an elephant has rubbed his itching back against the rough bark of a tree, and, see, coarse hairs are still sticking in the hardened clay. There a long sharp scratch repeated at regular intervals marks the passing of a rhinoceros. Here again is the pad mark of a tiger, barely an hour old, and the pitted tracks of deer of all sizes and varieties surround the deeply punched holes which are the footsteps of an elephant—Blackwood's.
Efforts were at once made so import the insect. Under instructions from the late James Shinn, a missionary of his acquaintance in the Aldin district sent figs containing the blastophaga by mail, and in some instances live insects arrived, but the Capri figs were either too old or too young to sustain them.
It remained for George C. Roeding of Fresno to achieve, in the premises, the initial American success. Last season, according to arrangements made by him, he received a succession of shipments of Capri figs by mail from Smyrna, each batch carefully wrapped in tinfoil, and fortunately one consignment reached him when his Capri figs were in the proper condition, and the insect was established. Mr. Roeding deserves the success he has attained.
It is not many years since he went to the expense of sending a special agent to Asia Minor for the purpose of obtaining the best varieties of figs grown in that country.
A few days ago Mr. Roeding sent to San Francisco samples of his fresh Smyrna figs produced by capillification. The figs were tested by a dozen different people, all of whom agreed that they were the most delicious fresh figs they had ever tasted.
Capri figs containing the wasp will undoubtedly be obtainable next fall, as the insect has been established also at places other than Fresno, notably the John Rock nursery at Niles.
The health problem is most quickly solved by making the blood pure and digestion perfect by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla. Its cures of scrotula, salt rheum, dispensia, nervousness and that tired feeling are lecd.

There was no quorum at the meeting of the water board on Saturday afternoon. Directors Chapman, Bradford and Cargill were the only members present when an adjournment was taken to next Saturday afternoon, the 2d.

Adjournment was not affected by this tardy arrival, and company business went over for a week.
A Minister's Mistake.
A city minister was recently handed notice to be read from his pulpit. Accompanying it was a clipping from a newspaper bearing upon the matter. The clergyman started to read the extract and found that it began: "Take Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure."
This was hardly what he had expected, and after a moment's hesitation, he turned it over, and found on the other side the matter intended for the reading.
