FRUIT TRADE OF CALIFORNIA. Some Very Interesting Figures?Nuts and Sun-Dried Fruit?Items. The annual review of the trade in dried fruit and honey of California for 1885 contains many very interesting figures. It appears that the total dried fruit product of the state last year re quired 110,000,000 pounds of green fruit ?equal to 5,500 car-loads?and was of a value of $8|500,000. Of extracted honey the product was 1,500,000 pounds; comb honey 750,000 pounds and beeswax 60,000 pounds?a pretty, good showing for the bees. Raisins show- an enormous increase, die total output of 1885 being estimated at 470,000 boxes of 20 pounds each, against 175,000 in 1884. This indicates the rapid advance of what is destined to be a very important industry, and which -will keep in the country hundreds of thousands of dol lars which now annually go to Spain and other Mediterranean countries. A de cided improvement in packing and grad ing in 1835 was noticed, and is worthy of commendation. We are producing large and constantly-increasing quantities of nuts, the product last year having been 1,250,000 pounds of walnuts, 518,000 of peanuts, 1,050,000 of almonds. In sun dried apples, peaches, and plums we also do weih the product having been: Ap ples, 1,070,000 pounds; peaches, 1,500,000, and plums, 1,021,000. We are gradually making headway against the foreign crop of prunes. Producers are beginnjng to grade and pack their prunes after the French method, and when this is univers ally done it is predicted that our prunes will take their proper place in the east ern markets. In 1885 our output was 1,400,000 pounds of French and 150,000 pounds of German prunes, or about the same as 1884. In the line of evaporated fruits less is being done than in sun-dried. The principal items for last year were: Ap ples, 750,000 pounds; apricots, 850,000 (sun-dried, 800,000); peaches, 400,000. The crop of peaches (all kinds, dried,) was three times what it was in 1884, and bid fair to be quadrupled in 1888. -Evaporated apples doubled the product of 1884. Walnuts largely increased, and other products in a lesser degree, a slight falling off in peanuts being noted on ac count of low prices. All this is a most gratifying exhibit, and gives further evi dence of the assured future of the state as a great fruit-producing country.?San Francisco Call. The Proposed Algerian Inland Sea. M. Naudin expresses the opinion con cerning the proposed Algerian inland sea, that to fill with salt Water the shal low basins of that region would be equivalent to reproducing in Algeria all the evil features of a series of marshes? an opinion held also by many eminent men of science. The deepest portion would, it is admitted, not exceed eighty feet in depth, and the whole coast line would be so shallow as to be but little else than a marshy bank, which, under the influence of a tropical sun for eight months of the year, would, doubtless, be come a focus which would develop and distribu te all the evils of malaria. An examination of the region between Bis kra and the Gulf of Gabes, by competent engineers, shows that the project, if carried out according to the plan con templated, would necessitate the removal of 20,000,000 cubic- meters of sand.?Bos ton Transcript. An Exhibition of the Kaeea. A project has been started in Berlin to establish an anthropological exhibition, which will do with regard to the races of men what zoological gardens do with re gard to animals. In the exhibition or garden, it is intended, that' representa tives of various races sha}I permanently. reaSde, while of such races as can not stand,the cold of the climate representa tives will be brought to Germany to re side, there during the summer. An ethnological museum is to be established in connection with the exhibition, which is said to have the support of several capitalists. Possibly the recent success in Berlin and London of Japanese and Indian villages has led to this project, which, however, is a far more difficult tmdei taking, but which, if carried out, would prove of great public interest ?Frank Leslie's Illustrated. Discovery of a SUvor Mine. Once a shepherd, caught out upon the hills by night, built a fire under the lee of a pile of stones that he had tossed together. The heat split some of the stones, and in the morning the man saw within one of the cracks a piece of shin ing silver ore. That happened in Peru, and thus was discovered the mines of the Cerro de Fasco, which have yielded 1400,000,000.?Boston Budget. Pagan Gods as Evil Demons. The belief that the pagan gods were really existent as ovil demons is one which has come down from the very earliest ages of Christianity.

The Live Weight at th* World. A mathematician who had a little spare time recently weighed the earth, and found it tipped the scales at exactly 5,855,000,000,000,000. I The Pueblo, Cat, nail works will uss kegs made of compressed paper. Ten years ago I left the chasseurs, and entered the guard at Limoges, where tho adjutant one morning informed us we had an important undertaking on hand. An honest, poor man, a master mason, had been, assassinated at his own home, Faubourg Montmailler, no one knowing who had committed the crime. It was in September, and we had art agreement to clear the roads for the unarmed chas seurs. The adjutant, M. Boudet. now promoted to the rank of captain, recom mended to the quartermaster that the men redouble their vigilance, and if they found under the chestnut tree or along the road doubtful or suspicious characters, to arrest them. The entire round was guarded, for the order had beon dispatched to Chateau-neuf, to Am bayac, to Samt Sulpice and Lauriere, Bellac and Bochechouart. Such orders are somewhat perplexing. It will not do to depend too much upon the appear ance. There are those of unfavorable mien who are most worthy. I once knew a person whom they might have guillotined, or at least sent to tho galleys, for his looks. Ah, well, he was a man to whom in every Other respect they would have given the Montyou value. He supported a number of people, and distributed to the poor all he had; saint, upon my honor, yet with the head of a galley slave; while others who would be granted absolution without confession suddenly come to manacles. But they told us to arrest, and we arrested ped dlers, beggars, as yellow as their wallets, even idiots, who roamed unknowingly over the country. Not one seemed capable of making way with Father Coussac. Time passed, and the assassin of Faubourg was still unknown. Discov ery was not easy; we had so few indica tions to guide us, and the affair was one of mystery. One day when I was at the guard house a beautiful girl, with blask eyes like mulberries, and red hps like, straw berries, came toward me, saying: "Have they any news of the assassin ? I am the daughter of .Leonard Coussac." That was something worth hearing. She spoke with so much energy end feel ing that I felt ashamed of not luv-mg put into custody the wretch who htd killed her father. Then I tried to excuse my self, seying how meager was our infor mation regarding the assassin, <j\d this and that, but she looked at me so steadily I hecamo embarrassed and said suddenly: "Well, miss, I would risk an arm or a limb to catch the rogue for you." And I spoke the truth; yet it was not perhaps professional duty that made me Bay it, but those velvety blaok eyes. "Only,n I said, "we must have a clew/ "A clew V And then she shrugged her shoulders. "Is not tho hand one ?" "The hand! What hand P Then Catisson Coussac related to me the story of the crime, which I confess chilled me. It was one evening in September. Poor, honest Coussac had at his houBe in Faubourg Montmailler some money which had been intrusted to him by his patron, M. Gabourdy, the contractor, about 10,000 francs, with which he was to settle two bills?one with a plasterer, the other with a lumber merchant. Hav ing, upon this particular evening finished his repast, Father Cous sac and his daughter remained downstairs after mother Coussac had re tired, he reading his almanac as he sat near the closet containing the silver, and che knitting a wool stocking. It is nec essary to explain that there was a gar den back of the house, and, facing this, a window, the height of a man, the shut ters of which were generally closed, but which on this particular evening, the worthy man, being a trifle warm, left open. He read there, under the sky light by a small lamp, and Catisson heard him tum over and over the pages of his almanac. She has often told me that she felt, while working mechan ically, a little drowsy, by this noise of the'paper, so regular, and by the tick? of the pendulum, and. that, suddenly raising her head from her work, to yawn and nee if it was not time to go to sleep, ehe saw,'believing at first that she was mistaken, that she dreamed; that she had the nightmare?she saw between the folds of the shutter, passing, moving softly, softly, a hand, a large hand,, bat with something frightful about it that Catisson remarked at once, the four fin gers, almost as large as the thumb, be ing all of the sise, as though cut by line, yet they were not cut, only terminated i in this frightful way; and this hideous hand glided along the shutters, evidently seeking to open the blind noisoleady. Then it remained motionless, as though its owner knew that Catisson had discov ered him. For a moment she believed she had not seen aright, that the light of the lamp had dazzled her sight But when she opened her eyes, very much frightened, there was the moving hand, with its enor mous even fingers. Catisson wished to scream, but seemed strangled by that terrible liand. Then she suddenly arose, and, seizing her father by the sleeve, pointed to the hand on the blind. But at the same moment that old Coussac turned, the robber quickly pushed open the blind, and a current of air extin guished the lamp in a cloud of flame and smoke, leaving Catisson and her father hi darkness. Coussac, hearing the sound of a heavy body leaping into the room, tried to find a knife with which to defend himself, and moro es pecially the money, but before he could open the cupboard he was seized by tie throat, and felt a stroke against Ids neck, then down near his heart. Catis son screamed, divining all. though soc mg nothing, but a heavy blow rendered her powerless. The poor girl -was in a faint, she could not say how long, and when she recovered found herself in the lower hall, where Mother Coussac, whiter than her robe, sought to rouse poor Leonard, who pointed to the breast as if to say: "Wound in hero?no rem edy." Of course the clo38t whe::e Coussao had placed the money was broken open ind the bills were stolen. Such a night! ? aa i _,_ The Faubourg MOTtmafller will long re* member-it Theyanoused tb? neighbors and Bearjdhed -the ? garden, where: thoy found footprints, which they measured. They searched everywhere. In the meantime Coussac died, and the old mother was beside herself. Catisson, half out of her senses, saw ever that frightful hand, with the four even fin gers gliding over the oak shutter, like a spider or a crab. As you can imagine, we made every effort to find the dog who had sent that worthy to Lonyat (the cemetery at Lim oges.) Yes,, we did all we could, but there was no olew. We had the hand as Catisson had described it to me, but knew of no one possessing such a hand. We questioned all the' masons who had worked with Father Coussac, but no suspicion rested upon them; all were worthy people, well known, with a little fondness for chestnut wine, but not crime. Who, then, was the criminal? One day a butcher-boy from la rue Aigueperso came to tell us that ho remembered once having a quarrel with a great, fellow who, in drawing his Nou- j tron knife, had displayed a very peculiar hand with four even fingers. Now.the knife with which he had killed Coussac ! was a Noutron knife, but the butcher- j boy could give no further information, and many thought his story a fabrica- j tion. And our men still searched, find- j ing nothing, which annoyed me, as I had said to Catisson: "Toll us, demoiselle, what you will give for the man who captures your father's assassin." She did not answer, but turned pale while her beautiful black eyes wept and promised, but all that did not enable me to find the criminal. Finally Catisson said: " "If you can not find him, I wilL* She had still her grandmother, a true woman, living, who since the assassina tion had been silent as a stone, yet?erce as. a dog ready for attack, and the poor old woman kept repeating: "Will they not, then, conduct to the Monte-a-Eegret the villain who killed my son?" Catisson left her position as seamstress, and applied to the prefect of police for permission to take a place at the fair. This; astonished every one, especially when we saw at the fair-grounds at St. Loupor St. Martial or Limoges a great bill posted, with a portrait of Catisson in rose-colored robes, and beneath, in large letters, "The Electric Girl." How odd for Catieson so to designate herself. So Catisson Coussac was electric, and you received a shock when she touched you. But I needed i t to touch her to be elec trified; I had only to look at her. You see her at 38;. but ten years ago, those who saw her and did not turn to look the second time were great imbeciles. ? Well, the "electric girl" brought spec tators. ' An orchestra was not necessary,, or other attractions. They saw her and exclaimed, "What a beautiful girll" then entered. One day I entered the fair. She was there upon a little platform, withMothor Coussac, who, as a fortune-teller, watched every one closely. Catisson encouraged me, and, while I stood before, hot think ing how becoming her costnme^BEe smiled, and said in a droll tone: "Oh, it is youl I do not need to Bee yonr hand!" Then I knew what the brave girl wished; why she went about the country in such disguise. She had ever in mind that frightful hand, and extended her own white little hand, soft as satin, but nervous to every one who came, hoping it might meet that other hand stained with blood. It was her own idea; sho had only the one clow; it would suffice, she thought; yet to find the rascal was like looking for a needle in a hay-stack. But there are chances that a murderer will wander in the direction of his crir. The murdorer might then be far^fro Limoges, but would in all probability re turn, and there was a chance that sho might again.see the hand which haunted her like a nightmare. Everywhere Catisson, with Mother Coussac, traveled over the country, yet it was always toward Vienna that.they turned with the most confidence?-women often divine things.. One day?I remember it as though it were yesterday?the 22d of May, a Mon day, there was a show at the* Place Boyale, and Catisson and Mother Cous sac were there,' distributing the hand bill* and saying: ''Enter, ladies and gentlemen." It was not necessary to in vite me; I entered as the othere.enly aaying, "Good-day, mademoisello;" and she replied, "Good, day, gendarme, " well knowing my name, but giving only mj title. I see it all, now?Catisson in her red robe, her pretty brown hair, a.'rose in her corsage, white arms, .pretty shoul ders, and a head to turn all others. And she explained to the spectators, as was her custom, about tho electric fluid; then extended her hand, saying: "Give mo your hand and you win feel the current. Do not fear; it will not hurt you." Then some laughed, others were al most afraid, but all extended their hands for the touch of Catisson. I was there, and was almost jealous of those people who pressed her soft hand, when sud denly, like a thunder-clap, I saw the electric girl, as pale as death, extending her hand to one who seized it as a dog does a piece of meat. Before her was a great fellow, with curly red hair showing beneath a felt hat; he wore a blue blouse over a vest, and epaulets; a giant I saw, as I regarded his profile; his inferior jaw resembled that of a pike, and his tem ples almost concealod with eyes, with no beard, some hairs in the pale skin, bad figure. Catisson looked him well in the face, and he extended a hand which seemed enormous besido her small one. She clung to him, seemingly, as if every thing depended upon that arm in the blue sleeve. A shudder passed over me, and I said: "It is the individual, she holds him." Yes, yes, she held him, and, pale as death, said to the gross fellow, suddenly turned as white as herself. ' "Tell me, do you know the assassin of Leonard Coussac?" He recoiled, seeking to withdraw his fingers from the electrio woman. Ah, ?he needed not to be electric to cause a shock to that man. He was unable to move his arm; he wished to repulse her, and said: g "Are you a fool? Will you unhand me?" As he turned his head, I uaw his light eyes, fierce and eager, seeking means of escape. "Miserable villian!" cried Catisson, forcing him into a chair. It was you who dealt the blow. It was you!" And she held that giant, stunned by the suddenness of the affair; but he quickly recovered himself; he disen gaged his hand from Catisson, and I saw it, frightful, with the even fingers; he struck her, then turn like a wild animal to the place of egress. Everybody sought to escape; the crowd were afraid. The man leaped, pushing the people before him, when I planted myself in front of him. He had an ugly look, seeing my kepi and white breeches. He perceived in them the evidence of my position. He had his face toward me. I raised my arm and seized him by the blouse. "In the name of the law, I arrest you." The villain's only reply was a blow, which would, I believe, have sent me ten feet, if I had not had the presence of Catisson to increase my strength. I rid iculed the blow. I held the man; I dragged him; I would not let him go. They would have had to break my wrist in order to make me. And he gave me blows on the head, trying to stun me, or break my skull. Suddenly (I still hold the scar) he attempted to plunge a knife into my neck, in the same way he had struck Father Coussac?a habit of his, I believe. He counted upon killing me; but the collar of my uniform turned aside the blade of the knife?a Noutron knife, with yellow handle. It cut through the collar and gave me only a scratch. Then my hand seized the wrist which held the weapon, which, if it de scended a second time, would do its work. I saw the knife raised l?te the sword of Damocles, and grasping its handle were those gross, even fingers by which Catisson had recognized the assas sin of her father. How long it mightr have lasted?that battle in which' my blood flowed, though I had wounded him I can not say; but I felt that I was losing strength, that I should release the hand which held the knife. Suddenly he ut tered a cry, a savage one, like that of an animal being killed. He jumped, but I held him still; then he turned so rapidly that he feu, dragging me after him, he underneath and I above. We fell to the ground. Then something moved him, or, rather, clung to him. It was Mother Coussac, who gnawed and pecked Qt his limbs to make him release Wb hold. And wo rolled on the ground like worms, but this time it was not for long. Catisson recovered and aided me to retain the armed arm, or, rather, she took the knife away from liimwhilel held the man by the throat with my right hand, and would have stifled him. Then people came at the noise, and the pay .master, Bugead, arrived with a comrade. They assisted me to bind tho criminal, raised him up, put on the handcuffs and led him through the crowd, who, seeing him taken, wished to prevent his escape. That brave crowd who a Bhort time be fore was afraid. It was well they came. I could not hold out longer. I was go ing, going. It was foolish for a gen darme. I fainted from loss of blood. But I had the sensation of white arms sustaining me, and, instead of the Nou tron blade near my head, I perceived, as in a dream, the large, beautiful eyes of Catisson, who smiled upon me. He was a mixer of plaster, named Massaloux, of Souterraine in La Creuse ?so a deputy of La Creuse told us?and who, presenting himself to M. Gabourdy for work, had overheard him speak of the money confided to Leonard Coussac by his patron. Then he exclaimed, "Thore is .a chance," and he took it alone, with no accomplice, an idler, but energetic. After the murder he reached Paris, then returned to Queret, then to Limoges, the money gone, seeking work. When before the Court d' Assizea, ho scarcely defended him?elf, as though saying: "You have taken me, so much the worse for me.". They condemned him to death. The famous hand is pre served in alcohol at the Ecole de Mede cine. It is not for me to boast that the presi dent commended me, but I did not need congratulations. I no longer needed 'anything.
