GETTING IN THE WALNUTS. An Industry Thnt Closes California Country School®. The first English walnut orchard in California was planted with seed from the Los Angeles mission gardens, where < the padres had started a few trees with j nuts brought with them from Spain, i The undertaking was a success from ' the first, and the acreage of walnuts | has steadily increased. The walnut ; tree's early age of bearing, its long life and the steady demand for Its product tend to make the enterprise deservedly popular. The walnut tree begins to bear when six or seven years old. nnd nothing is known definitely of its age limit of bearing. Fabulous stories are told of trees in Spain one or two centuries old bearing enormous crops. The oldest trees in California are still bearing, but deductions from the short history already made show that the tree is in its print, from its twenty-fifth to its thirtieth year. Fifteen hundred pounds of nuts to the acre is a good average yield, making seventy-five pounds the average weight from one tree. The harvest time begins about the middle of September and lasts nearly six weeks. The tiuts begin to fail with the leaves, and the perfect cultivation under the trees leaves no chance for them to lose themselves among clods or weeds. The brown dead leaves alone hide the nuts. Under normal conditions they drop free from the outer husk, or hull, through its irregular bursting, and getting the nuts picked up Lt a simple matter. Sometimes the trees are well irrigated just before harI vest time to insure the clean dropping of the nuts. Boys nnd girls, men and women. Japanese and Chinese, are all pressed into service, and on hands and knees the great orchards are gone over, not cnee, but several times, on account of the irregular ripening of the nuts. The trees are occasionally shaken during the season to loosen the nuts, and before the last gleaning they are •‘poled - ’ to start the very tardy ones. This is done by long, coarse bamboo poles, whose light weight makes them easily handled. In certain rural districts the public schools close regularly for a "walnut vacation.” The help of the children is needed, and the children are nothing ioath to replenish their diminished purses. Fails, cans and gunnysacks are scattered among the pickers, and when the bags are full they are carried to the drying grounds, where they are spread out on slat trays to dry.-Re-view of Reviews.

Pitch Pine.—Dark stiff needles arranged in threes.—Boston Post. — Discontent With Work. That there is much discontent with work among the so called middle classes in America is due in large part to the pampering of children, to the supplying of their natural and artificial wants and to the sentimental idea that “their day of toil will come soon enough.” In general, work is not a : curse, but a blessing—a positive means ' of grace. One can hardly begin too ' early to impress upon children lessons of self help by tasks appropriate to their age and forces and to beget in ’ them scorn of Idleness and of dependence on others. To do this is to make them happy through the self respect that comes with the realization of power and thus to approximate Tennyson’s ' goal of man, “Self reverence, self knowledge, self control.”—Century. Do It Xow, The following sentiment has been variously attributed to Stephen Grellet. Sir Rowland Hill, Edward Counenay and the Earl of Devon, and is said to have been inscribed upon the 1 tomb stone us the hitter: "1 expect to pass through this world but once.

Di«rneli and Binmarek. At a dinner given in London in 1861 by Baron Brunnow to the Grand Duk. ol Saxe-Weimar Herr von Bismarck, who was one of the guests, had a long conversation with Mr. Disraeli, then leader of the opposition. He then said that he should shortly be obliged to undertake the direction of the Prussian government; that his first duty would be to reorganize the army; that ho would then take the first best pretext to declare war against Austria, to dissolve the Germanic diet, to overpower the middle and smaller states aud to give a national unity to Germany under the leadership of Prussia. “I am come here,” be said, “to say! this to the queen’s ministers." Mr. | Disraeli's remark on this extraordinary , prograpime, which was later literally fulfilled, was: "Take care of that man. 1 He means what he says.”—“Reminiscences of Lord Augustus Loftus.” The Name* of Ten. I We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohen, »tc., but few people have any idea of what these names signify. • "Pekoe" in the dialect of Canton means "white hair,” for the tea which i bears this name is made from the youngest of leaves, so young that the I white down is still on them. "Soochong” in the same dialect is a quite unpoctie name; it merely signifies "small kind." “Flourishing spring” is the meaning' of “Hyson” “Congo” signifies .“labor."
