Rich and Diversified County Clarence E. Edwards of San Francisco contributes to the Chronicle of that city an interesting descriptive narrative of Orange county, which appears in a recent issue of that journal. From its columns we take the following extract: After riding about the country for a few days one begins to feel the importance of the fruit tree in the general scheme of prosperity. Inquiry revealed the fact that there are more than one million fruit trees and nearly a quarter of a million walnut trees, and it must not be supposed that these fruit trees are all orange and lemon trees, for here one may find any fruit desired, from the delicate cherimoya to the hardy pear of the north. One would naturally imagine that citrus fruits hold first rank in production, but such is not the case, for this is the home of the apricot, and here it grows to its greatest perfection. Second in rank of production is the walnut, of which 625 carloads are the average yield. As I have always had a weakness for chickens, I was impressed with the fact that the poultry product must be large, but I was not prepared for the information that this county sold nearly half a million dollars' worth of eggs last year, in addition to all the other wonderful things she had done. "Take a drive with me down to San Juan Capistrano, and you will see not only one of the oldest and most picturesque missions of California, but you will also get a fairly good idea of what Orange county really is, and what it can do in the way of supplying the country with good things to eat." DRIVE TO SAN JUAN. I readily accepted the invitation, for I knew that it meant more surprises...but a most prosperous one, and of its prosperity is due to the fact it is the center of the oil district county. Of course there is quite of fruit and other products of the growing around Fullerton, but dustry that seems to attract much attention to that which comes the oil wells. Anaheim is a growing and rival for consideration, being new size to Santa Ana, and believe many of its people destined to our county seat. There is such ing of progress all through the county that one wonders what the result be if there were more co-operation tween the various towns and industries with a co-operation as would make rest of the world sit up and take n SOME OF THE STAPLES. This is another county where and beans form staple products discovered after riding down to Juan. They are not so much dence as up in Ventura county, sure, but they are here. Beets, way, are raised to such perfection the big mills at Oxnard send down here after them to help their sweet production, and we learned that 26,000,000 pounds fined sugar came from the beets ofange county my respect increased portionately. "Do you like peanuts?" The question took me off my feet and I confessed to a weakness for "goober." "Three hundred acres of this are used for growing peanuts, and time you buy some up in the city remember that the best in the come from Orange county. We out nearly half a million pounds year." I think you will begin to get an about now that there is a wond "Take a drive with me down to San Juan Capistrano, and you will see not only one of the oldest and most picturesque missions of California, but you will also get a fairly good idea of what Orange county really is, and what it can do in the way of supplying the country with good things to eat." DRIVE TO SAN JUAN. I readily accepted the invitation, for I knew that it meant more surprises. and was now becoming so accustomed to them that I thought the day not well spent if I did not have one or two. The surprise came before I got fairly accustomed to the scenery on the way, for I saw a field of a peculiar green, and, on admiring it, was told that this was the home of the bell pepper, and also of the genuine chile, which makes Mexican food so bad when it is left out. The fact that $80,000 worth of peppers is shipped out of the county every year would not have impressed me nearly so much had I not seen this field. As we approached San Juan Capistrano the familiar scenes that had so impressed me in Ventura county became more and more in evidence, and I was not surprised when a house was pointed out to me where Ramona had visited and where she had been an honored guest. Evidently the whole southland is determined to have a part of the Ramona myth, and I am now wondering how much in the way of unreliable legend Helen Hunt is really accountable for. The old mission is a picturesque ruin, and one much prized by artists; but to me it carried less of the romance than those which have preserved their original characteristics through all the years and vicissitudes since the days when the good padres came in and possessed the land. To the southland water is the great desideratum to success in all matters pertaining to agricultural pursuits, and in this respect Orange county is favored beyond any of its neighbors, for in addition to the numerous streams which come down from the mountains to the sea, there is a belt of country so underlaid with water that it is but necessary to bore a well and the lifegiving fluid gushes forth. Artesian wells are to be seen all along the country leading down toward the old mission. The question took me off my feet and I confessed to a weakness for "goober." Three hundred acres of this area are used for growing peanuts, and time you buy some up in the city remember that the best in the come from Orange county. We out nearly half a million pounds a year." I think you will begin to get an about now that there is a wonderful diversity of crop in this little country but I have not told all by a good In fact, if I attempted to it sound as if this were the only case in California. BEATEN BY A HAIR. Hannibal Hamlin's First Try For United States Senate. When Hannibal Hamlin was spotted of the Maine house of representatives away back in the forties of the century, there was in that body a tain gentleman of faultless pleasing manners, good address some reputation, but he had one fine hair was very thin, and he highly sensitive in regard to it. To hide his approaching baldness had a habit of carefully stroking bandoline or other preparation particular hair in its place. Once while in the chair as speaker Mr. Hamlin, in the innocence of a good joke loving nature, sent for this tleman and, looking fixedly at smooth and polished pate, said w chuckle: "Blank, old fellow, I just want tell you that you've got one of hairs of your head crossed over other." "You insult me, sir! You insulted replied the member, with unexpressed altogether unnecessary indignation, and then, refusing to listen to reason or explanation, he left speaker's desk and returned to his. When Mr. Hamlin became a date for the United States senate gentleman was a member of the house of the Maine legislature though a member of the same party and only one more vote was needed secure Mr. Hamlin's election, he tively refused to vote for the man whom he believed he had been insulted. He was defeated for a seat in senate—by a hair, but when the vacancy occurred he was elected "Lives of Twelve Illustrious Men." desideratum to success in all matters pertaining to agricultural pursuits, and in this respect Orange county is favored beyond any of its neighbors, for in addition to the numerous streams which come down from the mountains to the sea, there is a belt of country so underlaid with water that it is but necessary to bore a well and the lifegiving fluid gushes forth. Artesian wells are to be seen all along the country leading down toward the old mission, and here no landowner need fear lack of water to bring his crops to perfection. So well is this recognized that one scarcely ever asks regarding irrigation in Orange county, for it goes without saying that there is a sufficiency of water to meet all demands. This plentiful supply of water is combined with a soil that has been characterized as being equal to the best found elsewhere in the world, and when one remembers that the soil of Jan Joaquin county was pronounced the best in the world by the experts at the Loisiana Purchase exposition at St. Louis, it will be seen that Orange county soil must be pretty good. The fact is that it is of the same character as the San Joaquin soil—a deep peat bed made of tule. It is a poor country, indeed, that cannot boast an oil well or two, and Orange county, being anything but a poor county, has quite an oil field in addition to her many other sources of revenue. As one gets off the train at Fullerton he is impressed with the fact that it is not much of a place, and he even may wonder why the train takes the trouble to stop at such an uninteresting point. But here is where the railroad entrance is deceiving, for the town itself is not only a pretty one, When Mr. Hamlin became a date for the United States senate gentleman was a member of the house of the Maine legislature. though a member of the same party and only one more vote was needed secure Mr. Hamlin's election, he tively refused to vote for the man whom he believed he had been insulted. He was defeated for a seat in senate—by a hair, but when the vacancy occurred he was elected "Lives of Twelve Illustrious Men." THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE It Was Made In 1572 and Was Written by a Colled Spring. "The first automobile," said chauffeur, "was made by Johann Nuremberg in 1572. Its tive power was neither oil, steam electricity, but a coiled spring. "The first steam automobile was in France by Cugnot in 1770. It is to be seen. It is one of the star emits of the Conservatoire des Arts Metiers in Paris. Steam carriages eled after it were built by Wil Murdoch, James Watt, Nathan and Richard Trevethick. These most of them, in museums in London and Birmingham. "Several steam carriages piled hire on the streets of London and beginning of the nineteenth century but they were so slow, noisy and bad that the people did not take to them. "The first modern automobile built by Amadee Bollec in 1873. He exhibited his car in Vienna and Paris, and other men, as is always case, devised improvements on it. Tomobiles, by about 1890, began to pear in the jokes of the day. They taken their place. But it was not the annual cup races began in Frin 1894 that the automobile became really popular institution."—New leans Times-Democrat.

A writer divides the human life as follows: At three times seven a man reaches a competent age in the eyes of the law; at four times seven he is in full possession of his strength; at five times seven he is fit for the business of the world; at six times seven he becomes grave and wise if he is ever destined to; at seven times seven he is in his apogee, and from that time he begins to decay; at eight times seven he is in his first climacteric, at nine times seven he is in his grand climacteric, and at ten times seven he has reached the allotted span of life. A Tough Chicken. A New Orleans man has proved that a chicken can live twenty-three days without food or water.

On the travels of a monkey from Genoa to Heidelberg an amusing farce might be written. A German gentleman brought from southwest Africa a tiny monkey weighing barely a couple of pounds. From Tanga to Genoa all went well with the liliputian animal. It was a favorite with every one and traveled free until Genoa was reached, when its troubles began. Brought under the notice of the Genoese custom house authorities, it was promptly deprived of its identity. It was no longer an animal; it became a bird, and as a bird, on which 28 cents was charged, it was conveyed to the Swiss frontier, where at a stroke of the custom house officer's wand it was transformed into a cat at the increased assessment of $1.56 and borne by train to Zurich. On its arrival there it ceased as a cat to exist and became a mere package, an item of luggage that was conveyed to Constance for the nominal sum of 10 cents. Still as luggage, though metamorphosed from a package into a hand bag, it went on its way to Stuttgart, where a great honor awaited it. It was on payment of $2.04 exalted into a dog, and it was as a dog that it ended its journey at the university town of Heidelberg.—Stray Stories. LINCOLN WON. King Legal Case That Was Received by Frankness. Over whose honesty is proved confidence of the judge and testimony of Abraham Lincoln is evident. He was appointed to be charged with murder. The brutal one, the evidence circumstantial, the accused a feeling was high and against his defendant.

Others would have be- in denunciation of witching the lack of positive and the marvelous virtue of noble doubt. The simple, hard way of Lincoln, back-confidence of the jury, won over in Atlantic.
