GETTING IN THE WALNUT8. / . . . Am. Indmtrr Thnt Cloaca California Cuuntrjr 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 tre^s with nuts brought with them from Spain. The undertaking was a success from the first, and the acreage of walnuts has steadily Increased. Tho walnut tree's early ago of bearing, Its long life and tho steady demand for its product tend to mako the enterprise deservedly popular. Tho walnut tree begins to bear when six or seven years old, und 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 ore Htill bearing, hut deductions from the short history al ready made show that the tree Is In Its prime from its twenty-llfth to its thir tieth year. Fifteen hundred pounds of nuts to the acre la a good average yield, making seventy-five pounds the average weight from one tree. Tho harvest time begins about the middle of September and lasts nearly six weeks. The nuts begin to fall with tho leaves, and the perfect cultivation under tho trees leaves no chance for them to lose themselves among clods or weeds. The brown dead leaves alono hide the nuts. Under normal con ditions they drop free from the outer husk, or hull, through Its Irregular bursting, and getting the nuts picked up Is a simple matter. Sometimes the trees are well irrigated just before har vest time to insure tho clean dropping of tho nuts. Boys and girls, men and women, Jap anese and Chinese, arc all pressed into service, and on hnnds and knees tho great orchards are gone over, not once, but several times, on account of the Ir regular ripening of the nuts. The trees are occasionally shnken during the sea son to loosen the nuts, and before the last gleaning tbey 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 loath to replenish their diminished purses. Pnils, cans and gunnysucks 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.?Itc view of Reviews.

There is no dangerous stomach drug f;ing when using Hyomei. The heal og and aromatic balsams which com? pom treatment are breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes with every $1 outfit. In this way, the germ-killing and health-giving Hyomei penetra'es to the remote cells of the lungs. It' searches out and kills disease germs in the air passages of the head, throat and nose, soothes and heals the irritated mucous membrane and absolutely drives catarrh from the system. Such remarkable results have fol lowed the use of Hyomei by the best people in Laurens, that The Laurens Drug Co. have the greatest confidence in its power to cure catarrah. They be lieve in it so thoroughly, that they will give their personal guarantee to re fund the money if It does not cure, the purchaser to be sole judge. This is an unusual offer and the first time that any medicine or treatment for the cure of catarrh h s been sold in this way. if it cures, the expense is trifling, while if it fails, the cost is ab solutely nothing. If you are fortunate enough not to be troubled with catarrh, tell your friends of The Laurens Drug Co.'s offer and get them to take advantage of it. We are headquarters for every style and kind of flower pots and jardinieres, plain or fancy. S. M. & E. H. Wilkes. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

'I'liiit Tom Hood I'ald to the i'ftrdivr <>r 111* Sorrow* and Jo>'r?Jriin I'nul lllchter'a Initiat ed I'rulae at Caroline Player. Pew great ineu bavo paid more en thusiastic trlbutcfl to their wives than Tom Hood, and probably few wives have better deserved such homage, says tho Chicago Chronicle. "You will think," he wrote to her in one of his letters, "that I am more foolish than any boy lover, and 1 plead guilty, for never was a wooer so young of heart and so steeped In love as I, but it Is a love sanctified and strengthened by long years of experience. May Cod ever bless my darling, the sweetest, most helpful, angel who ever stooped to bless a man!-' lias there ever, we wonder, lived a wife to whom a more delicate and beautiful tribute was paid than those verses of which the burden is, "I love thee, I love tliee; 'tis all that 1 can say?" "I want thee much," Nathaniel Haw thorne wrote to his wife many years lifter Ids long patience had won for him the flower "that was lent from heaven to show the possibilities of the human soul.' "Thou art the only per son in the wo.kl that ever was neces sary to me, and now I am only myself when thou art within my reach. Thou art an unspeakably beloved woman." Sophia Hawthorne was little better than a chronic invalid, and it may bo that this physical weakness woke all the deep chivalry anil tenderness of the man. And he reaped a rieh reward for an almost unrivaled devotion in tho "atmosphere of love and happiness and Inspiration" with which his delicate wife always surrounded him. The wedded life of Wordsworth with his cousin, "the phantom of delight," was a poem more exquisitely beautiful than any his pen ever wrote. Mrs. Wordsworth was never fair to look upon, but she had that priceless and rarer beauty of soul which made her life "a center of sweetness" to all around her. "All that she has been to me," the poet once said in his latter days, "none but (Jod and myself can ever know," and it would be ditlleult to find a more touching and beautiful picture In the gallery of great men's lives than that of Wordsworth and bis wife, both bowed under the burden of many years and almost blind, "walking hand in band together in the garden, With all the blissful absorption and tender confidence of youthful lovers. It never needed ' the welding touch of n great sorrow" to make the lives of Archbishop Tait and his devoted wife "a perfect whole." Speaking of her many years after she had been taken from him, ho said, "To part from her, if only for n day, was a pain only less intense than the pleasures With which I returned to her, and when I took her with me it was one of tho purest joys given to a man to watch the meeting between her and our chil dren." When David Livingstone hail passed his thirtieth birthday, with barely a thought for such "an indulgence as wooing and wedding,", he declared hu morously that when he was a little less busy lie would send home an ad vertisement for a wile, "preferably a decent sort of widow," and yet so un consciously near was his fate that only a year later he was introducing his bride, Mary Moffat, to the home lie had built, largely with his own hands, nt Mabotsa. From that "supremely hap py hour" to tho day when, eighteen years later, he received her "last faint whisperings" at Sbupnnga, no man ever had a more self sacrificing, brave, de voted wife than the missionary's daughter. In fact, they were more llko two happy, light hearted children than sedate married folk, and under the magic of their merriment tho hard ships and dangers of life in the heart of tho dark continent were stripped of all their terrors. Jenn Faul Uichter confessed that ho never even suspected tho potentialities of human happiness until he met Caro line Mayer, "that sweetest and most gifted of women," when he was fast approaching bis fortieth year, and that he had no monopoly of tho resultant happiness is proved by his wife's dec laration that "Richter is the purest, tho holiest, the most godlike man that lives; * * * to ho the wife of such a man Is the greatest glory that can fall to a woman," while of his wife Richter once wrote, "I thought when I married her that 1 had sounded the depths of human love, but I have since realized how unfathomable la the heart In which a noble woman has her shrine." CATARRH, Which usually commonceg with cold in head, Hay Fever, rapidly infects tho mucous membrane of the throat, and leads to graver complications, unless promptly attended to.

Throughout commercial circles for several months past this has been an oft repeated question. There arc those who are specially interested in the price of spot cotton ; others in the manufactured goods, and it is to the latter class that we attempt to make reply. There is a marked advance on certain standard makes in heavy Domestics, but the prices lnve not advauced in proportion to the figures paid for the raw material. Beside the light-weight wool goods just received, we open choice lines in White and Colored Cotton Fabrics, WHITE MER CERIZED WAISTINGS in exclusive designs, dainty colorings in various weaves in printed LAWNS.
