The first two days after reaching ' Sacramento it was bright suns,hine weather and quite comfortably warm most of the day. Then for a week we did not see the sun and it was much more comfortable with an over- coat than without one, and more than half the people were wearing overcoats. Then on the 27th of the month it rained and cleared the fog away and let the sun shine through once more. But the sun has forgot- ten to give us a call for two days while on its rounds, and ithas been raining nearly all day. Now about conditions here. Crops were very good last summer and raft quite plentiful, Apples in b es of about forty-two pounds a selling for one dollar and twenty-fi cents to one dollar and seventy-fi cents per box.

Pot toes are a little higher here than Ontario. There has been quite a I of building here during the past tw years. Several new buildings ha gene up in the busine.ms district, In Sacramento has as yet only two le story buildings, but wt• are promise one twelve story office building whit' is now in course of ,'on.,iructii There have been sev real new school buildings gene up in the past two years, one high soh,„rl and grounds costing well up to one million dollars. Sac•ratnento is the capitol city of California and the State is adding two new buildings, which are sup- posed to root three million dollars, but three million being the estimated cost, I got -ss the people of the State will be lucky if they get off with five or six million. Building material is still very high. In the building trades, the mon are mostly all work- ing at wages ranging from one dol- lar to one dollar and twenty-five cents per hour. Plasterers and bricklayers seem rather scarce, es- pecially in San Francisco, where they are paying men in these two trades as high as one dollar and fifiy cents per hour and in some cases contractors may be paying that much here in Sacramento, in order to hold the men here. Sacramento is almost a strictly union town as far as build - in, is concerned. San Francisco is ren on what is called the American plan and every contractor is expect- ed to have at least one non-union man. There seems to be a good many men out of work standing a- round the streets, but these, I think, are mostly of the laboring class, without a trade. Many of them were ' on farms and fruit ranches, lumber- ing camps and small towns where there is very little work during the winter months: Then there are al- ways lots of the white-collar and polished -shoe class standing around cigar stands, saloons and club rooms who never worked and never will, if they can get out of it. They arc generally well dressed, some have enough money to live on; others have rich parents, some live off the earn- ings of hard working mothers, and still others live on what they can steal or get by trickery, and many of these belong to the professional parasite class, that I believe the world would be well without. Both the rich and the common class of people seem to be able to pay their bills and get three square meals a day, I have been told that the wholesale business and shipping has been very good all fall but up to the present time, railroad passenger travel has been rather light and consequently baggage has been light, but mail has been very heavy. Hero at the Sacramento depot there are in the neighborhood of eighty to one hundred tones of mail handled every day and at holiday time a great deal more, but perhaps not more than ten to fifteen tons of this mail stays in Sacramento, the rest is, transferred, re-routed and sent out on branch roads. The people of this country are, and for many years have been, automobile crazy. On tine black, just three hundred and twenty feet long, I counted thirty-eight automo- biles standing just a few days ago, And all through the business section it is just the same'and perhaps many more on some blocks. People who have money to burn, think they have to get a new car every time there is a new model comes out. There are a great many used cars on the mar- ket, sales depots for uted tars all over the city, and used cars by the thoilsatlda. ' Many of these are high class cars and can be bought at very reasonable prices. I sometimes won- der what is to be done with the tail - lions of used and old automobile!: in a few years. I do not know where they will be put unless a wharf is built out into the middle of the ocean and tun theta overboard, but even this would soon interfere with navi- gation: I bade not yet beard mach said along political lines.

L. • Rubber hose was first produced in ,En0lnnd about tell years ago. It v;at made by braiding threads of rub- ber en a core of ripe coated with mo- la<.es and glue. It was then treated with chemicals so that the rubber threads became incorporated, after which the core was removed by boil- ing. The next type of rubber hose ap- peared about 1359. It was made by weaving cotton yarn into a flat strip, coating it one one side with ,rubber, and then turning it on a mandrel and riveting the edges together as in leather hose. .. §ometimes hose was made with two plies of this sort, each ply being riveted separately. After this, in 1877, came the inven- tion of the lom for weaving a seam- less tube of cotton, which made pos- sible the type of cotton rubber -lined hose now extensively used as fire - hose. Last of all was developed the idea of coating fabric with a rubber com- pound, cutting. it into bias strips, wide enough to make several plies, attaching a flat strip of rubber at one side to form the outer cover, and then winding the whole thing around a rubber tube on a rod or mandrel of the desired size, permit- ting the adhesive power of the rub- ber to held the various plies to- gether without the use of rivets. This efficient method is how in gen- eral use. We can be happy without a fortune, but not without friends. -Forbes Mag- azine.

'It Is an old saying that the child fa mother to the doll; but it is true that explorers find the doll -Instinct almost. everywhere they go; and records of past ages indicate that wherever the human Instinct existed, it was echged in doll,,ove. At times dolls have exceeded their sphere among children and have been appropriated 'by grown-ups. During the fourteenth century ft became the custom to use dolls as, mannequins on which were displayed miniature gowns or costumes of the latest style, This practice still exists. in France, though the elegantly attired wax dolls of to -day are more often the puppets of society ladies than the useful equipment of the dressmaker. Often the doll has been able to combine utility with other purposes. For example, our forefathers -being great masters of magic -were able to insure the speedy death of,a rival by sticking tllack pins into a wax figure of the enemy. Dolls in Mexico were used in religious rites, after which they returned to their proper function of affording amusement for the children. A ,very primitive doll can be found In Russia; it is the moss doll and effectively expresses the poverty and loneliness of Russia's great forest regions. It is roughly fashioned of wood, with a face of pathetic sad- ness, and dressed In hood and clothes of forest moss. The male doll is dis- tinguished from the female only by the hatchet which he carries! Among primitive dolls are those cut from chips of wood and gaily painted In the colors of the Russian opera. In the Congo a baby's "buggy" Is the mother's back, to which the in- fant is strapped. The dollies of the youthful cannibals conform to type, and are simple sticks of wood, wrapped and tied on the child's back with rags. Korean girls use similar sticks of bamboo, but art is added to utility and elaborate coiffures are arranged with plaited grass. A doll of such superb allurements neglects none of the arts of the toilet, for Its face is carefully powdered by the little mother -though no face exists. Ostrich bones are the material for many of the old Peruvian dolls, and sex is always distinguished, for the male wears a blanket while the fe- male is clothed in a petticoat. Dolls have been dated as far back as 4,000 years ago, and dolls of "civilized" character, too. The doll was an important individual In the life of the Egyptian child; the doll was varied and amusing in forms, and was mummified. It is interesting to note that dolls are much cheaper than they were a year ago, and there are some delight- ful new -corners, as, for instance, the doll that squeaks when its hair Is stroked. The quaint shock -headed dolls with their brilliant flame, pur- ple, and emerald wigs attract many little people. A great feature of the 1921. doll department are the exten- sive trousseaux provided in dainty hampers and miniature trunks: The up-to-date doll has a varied- ward- robe, not forgetting her jumper and sports coat. Will the Teddy Bear live as long as the Egyptian doll, which, care- fully painted, adorned with lucky emblems, and with hair made of Nile mud beads strung on strings, still rests In museums? • Horns on Human Heads, One of the sights of Parte in 1698 was a horned man named Franciscus Trovillon. A remarkable swelling appeared on his forehead, and by the time he was seventeen years of age this had grown into a horn about as long as a man's finger. When he was thirty-five the horn resembled that of a ram. In 1916 a child name Mary Davis was born at Saughall, near Chester. Before she was thirty she had a pair of' horns sprouting from the back of her head. These she shed at the end of five years, wheel -fresh ones grew; these, again, were shed at the end of another five years. Two of her horns are preserved in the British Museum. In 1671 a crooked horn several inches In length was cut from the head of a Scotswoman, who lived l'or twenty years after its removal. There is on record the case of a girl at Palermo who bad horns like a calf. Another girl, of Darien, France, had little horns protruding firom her fingers and toes. An Irish girl, of Waterford, be- gan to grow ram -like horns at an early age. These sprouted not only from her head, but also from the Joints of her arms, feet, and hands. The Angel of Shavano. The "Angel of Shavano" Is a re- markable natural phenomenon In the mountains of COlorado, says the De- troit News. • The "angel" ls formed by great maseee of snow banked in deep canyons or rifts in the monn- a n side, and is nearly 1,000 feet in might. Except when covered by la fresh fall of snow, the "Angel of Shaven() never entirely disappear*. for it itt situated in a region of titer- ttal anew. • With her face rafted to- ward.''Die Ales' and her- arms in an attitude of supplication, the "angel" eems to be calling down the bless - nes of heaven on the dwellers in the eautiful valley below. • • monument to Gulls.
