In France They Train Dogs to Find the Prized Plants. Truffles, like mushrooms, belong to the family of the fungi, but are a distinct and very peculiar genus. They are cryptogamic plants and subterranean, their position underneath the soil varying from two to three inches to two feet in depth. They have no root, stem or leaf and vary in color from light brown to black. They are sometimes globular in form and vary in size from that of a pecan nut to that of a duck's egg. Their surface is watery and covered with a skin. Their exact method of growth is not precisely known. They are, of course, regarded as a great luxury by the epicure. Truffles are mentioned by Juvenal, Pliny, Plutarch and Martial. The Athenian epicures were acquainted with them, and a story is told of a bon vivant who freed a whole family of slaves who had invented a delicious method of preparing them. France has the credit of producing the finest truffles. Dogs are commonly bred to search for them. The method of "breaking" these dogs is to give them for a time pieces of truffles every morning before they are allowed to partake of any other food. After a certain period, when their appetite for truffles increases, pieces are hidden in the ground, and they are made to find them. Thus they are gradually taught their business, though it often takes as long as eighteen months before a dog becomes skilled in the art. In some parts of France—Poltou and Perigord, for instance—pigs are trained for truffle hunting, and by some they are deemed to be better fitted for this work than dogs.—Harper's Weekly. SHE WAS LOYAL. Likewise Honest Enough to Tell Lincoln the Truth. During the war between the states STATE HIGHWAY Engineer Clark's Previous Attainment — Massachusetts Predominates — That Los Angeles Convention Stirred Things—The Reason Why BY A. A. MILLS Seventh Division Engineer W. Lewis Clark received his technical and engineering training from the Massachusetts institute of technology and Harvard university. He was first assistant engineer with county commissioners; resident engineer with consulting engineers; resident engineer with Massachusetts highway commission; later with private office; was lay instructor at Fuits college. He came to California about ten years ago and became town engineer of Mill Valley; engineer of the Mill Valley and Mt. Tamalpais scenic railway. After the San Francisco earthquake and fire he surveyed property lines in San Francisco; again became town engineer of Mill Valley; resigned to take up public practice until appointed division engineer, seventh division of the California highway commission. As Austin B. Fletcher, highway engineer, is a Massachusetts man and was connected with the highway commission there it is probable that our division engineer and he were connected there as here, and we shall have a sort of transplanted Massachusetts engineering corps in our division. However, as Massachusetts is reputed to have the best highways in the United States this should be to the good for us. Trouble That snap judgment Los Angeles convention stirred things. San Diego and El Centro meet at the form- SHE WAS LOYAL. Likewise Honest Enough to Tell Lincoln the Truth. During the war between the states Miss N., a high spirited Virginia young lady, whose father, a Confederate soldier, had been taken prisoner by the Union forces, was desirous of obtaining a pass which would enable her to visit him. Francis P. Blair agreed to obtain an audience with the president, but warned his young and rather impulsive friend to be prudent and not betray her sympathy for the south. They were ushered into the presence of Mr. Lincoln, and the object for which they had come was stated. The tall, grave man bent down to the little maiden and, looking searchingly into her face, said: "You are loyal, of course?" Her bright eyes flashed. She hesitated a moment, and then, with a face eloquent with emotion and honest as his own, she replied: "Yes, loyal to the heart's core—to Virginia!" Mr. Lincoln kept his intent gaze upon her for a moment longer and then went to his desk, wrote a line or two and handed her the paper. With a bow the interview terminated. When they had left the room Mr. Blair began to upbraid his young friend for her impetuosity. "Now you have done it!" he said. "Didn't I warn you to be very careful? You have only yourself to blame." Miss N. made no reply, but opened the paper. It contained these words: Pass Miss N. She is an honest girl and can be trusted. A. LINCOLN. What She Wanted. They had been married but two months, and they loved each other devotedly. He was in the back yard blacking his shoes. "Jack," she called at the top of her voice, "Jack, come here, quick!" He knew at once that she was in imminent danger. He grasped a stick and rushed up two flights of stairs to the rescue. He entered the room breathlessly and found her looking out of the window. "Look," said she—"that's the kind of gown I want you to get me."—Harper's Magazine. The Eyes of the Japanese. A Japanese friend of mine once saw among my papers a picture of an Englishwoman dressed in Japanese clothing. She is no Japanese," he said. "She division engineer and he were connected there as here, and we shall have a sort of transplanted Massachusetts engineering corps in our division.

San Diego and El Centro meet at the former place to do things on Feb. 8. The foothill boulevard people were to have met last Saturday, but the meeting has been postponed to next Saturday, Feb. 10. Why? That the state highway commission should order the survey to begin at San Juan Capistrano in this county and go south is still an open question. Supervisor Talbert Jokes On being asked the Why? at the meeting of the associated chambers of commerce last Wednesday evening. Supervisor Talbert jokingly replied that it meant the state highway would follow the coast line. Of course, he knows better. That Dinner It might be recalled that when the state highway commission was down here they were fed at the old San Juan mission. This, I feel sure, turned the trick and explains why. BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR SHOW Orange Exhibit at San Bernardino Will Attract Many It is expected there will be not less than 100,000 paid admissions at the National Orange Show to be held in San Bernardino the week of February 19 to 24. Preparations are being made by the people, of the Gate City to handle that number of visitors and probably many more, if the weather is fair. Two special trains will be run to San Bernardino by the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, while other excursion trains are being arranged for from almost every one of the other cities throughout the southern part of the State. Each of the principal cities will have a special day set apart in the program. Excursion rates have been announced by all the railroads for the big citrus fruit exposition. President E. P.

Ripley of the Santa Fe system has accepted an invitation to participate in the opening ceremonies for the show the evening of Feb. 19th, and announces that he will spend several days at the show which lasts all of Washington's Birthday week. Many other prominent railroad men will also attend the big show as will representatives of both the San Francisco and San Diego expositions, to speak on the opening night of what will be the greatest fruit exposition ever held in America. More than 100 mayors and an equal number of representatives of chambers of commerce in this State and Arizona, have been invited to be present at the National orange show on Washington's birthday, which will be municipal day at the citrus exposition. A large number have already signified their intention of being present, and it is expected to be the greatest gathering of mayors and representatives of commercial organizations ever held in Southern California. For the first time in the history of the citrus industry in the state, elaborate exhibits will be placed side by side with hte Southern California fruit by the Porterville, Lindsay, Visalia, Clovis, Fresno, Lemon Cove, and other central California orange run to San Bernardino by the Los Angeles chamber of commerce, while other excursion trains are being arranged for from almost every one of the other cities throughout the southern part of the State. Each of the principal cities will have a special day set apart in the program. Excursion rates have been announced by all the railroads for the big citrus fruit exposition. More than a mile of garlands made of the twigs of red wood trees gathered from the giants of the forests in the Santa Cruz mountains, will form a part of the elaborate decorative scheme to be carried out in the orange show at San Bernardino the week of February of February 19 to 24. Tall snow white pillars in large numbers are also to be used, the green garlands to be twined about them, and the white and green will form an artistic setting for the sea of orange color of fruit and figs to be seen on every hand. An elaborate electrolier lighting scheme will add novelty and beauty to the show and which will indeed be "The Show Beautiful."
