A Grower Explains Why the Chines Are Employed at White Men1 Wage. A California raisin grower, in di cussing the dispatches recently pub lished regarding the driving out by white laborers oL the Chinese em ployed in picking, drying and packing raisins in the raisin district, said to a New York Sun man: "I should be sorry if these dispatches created the impression in the east that we are opposed to white labor coming into our district.' It is upon white la bor we must finally depend for our permanent resident labor, and instead of opposing it we have made repeated efforts to induce a class of white peo ple to come and settle there, upon whom we could draw for labor during the packing season. It is probably not generally known that we now have to pay Chinese full farm laborer's wages, so that there is no economy in hiring them. . ... "The reason we have naa to empioy Chinese is that the class of white labor th?re is unreliable. The Chinese are hired in gangs through one boss, who attends to their transportation, lodg ing, feeding and pay. They work steadily through the season and give us no trouble. The white laborers we can obtain demand weekly payments of wages and many of them take their wages on Saturday, go into town and stay there two or three days, or until their wages are spent, ana oniy men return. That won't do for the raisin business. We dry in the sun and when the raisins are in condition to go to the sweat houses or from there to the packing houses, they must go on that day or they are ruined. "The raisin-growers are all largely interested in Fresno real estate, in the city's banks, gas and waterworks and in the material interests of the city, which would, of course, be bene fited by an increase of the resident white population and they have tried many ways to induce a reliable white labor class to settle thereabouts. We have offered them small holdings of irrigated lands at low terms, for if a " white man is once settled on a piece of land the orchard or vines of which ho can easily attend to we are assured of his work during our busy season and, perhaps, the labor oi ms wne ana cnu dren in the packing houses. "We do not want the Chinese, but in the present state of the country, with practically no agricultural laboring class, we are compelled t6 take them. The whites who are driving out the Chinese by force are not the substitute we want. We must have whites who will drive out the Chinese by settling on the land about us." A CAT WITH JFALSE TEETH. Feat of a Young DentUt Who Had a Kind Heart. The cat that owned the false teeth had lost his own, and had his jaw . broken besides by a drunken wretch who beat him with a cobble stone. With great care, the poor animal final ly recovered, says Harper's Young Peo- . - . at uv 11111. plo, but he hatt to De ica wun a urae milk in a spoon for a longtime. When able to pursue his ordinary business of catching rats and mice, he could not eat them, because he had no teeth to chew with. Something must be done for him, for life supported on "spoon n. burden, and a vo'untf dentist in the neighborhood, who had become greatly interested in the un fortunate cat, resolved to try the ex Dreiment of making him a set of false ' teeth. ' ' "1 Taking the cast of the plate was a terrible piece of work, as Captain ob jected to it with all hiB might, but it was nothing to wnui ionowea wnen the teeth were fairly in. If the ani mal had plunged and scratched while the plate was being fitted, he acted like a mad thing when it was firmly attached to his jaw although it was well made, and fitted perfectly. He could not understand that it would en able him to continue the luxuriou feaBts to which he had been accus tomed, and for several days he wa furious over It. Every possible an impossible Bcheme was tried to get th iinnntnfnl't.n.hlfl thinLT Out Of Ills IllOUth he tore at it with his claws, he shook his head violently to make it drop out, he butted against heavy pieces of furniture, and if anyone camo near him he growled and scratched at them. There seemed to be danger of his going mad, and his friends were sorely puzzled to know what to do with him, when, greatly to their relief, ho calmed down, and appeared to have come to the conclusion that his new possession was, after all, a blessing in disguise. He was once more gentle and affectionate, as he had been pre vious to his misfortune; and the plate was now often taken out between meals and put back again. In this way it was worn comfortably for over a year. , A Chance of a T. F mrcn. Evaneelist. 3f Ix- Molnen, Iowa, wrltfn under date of March Zi. 13: . S. R. Med. Mfg..

Drug clerks often derive amusement from the prescrlptious that are left with them. A prescription which called for certain tablets, and which was written hy a Chicago physician, was put up in a down-town pharmacy the other day. The directions were as follows: "One tablet every two houri for five days, skip four days and com mence again." The pharmacist smiled when he wrote the label, and profes sional etiquette alone prevented him f mm nsli intr the customttr.who weifrhcd about 180 pounds, if he thought he t?itt T T A13TTPTTT A CALL ON OR ADDRESS, would survive after so much skippimr.
