BURNING CHARCOAL.
GREAT CARE 13 NECESSARY TO
i FIRE A "PIT" SUCCESSFULLY.
Labor Is mi Important Item In the rep
aration of the Product for the Market.
1 Bfanafacturcra Generally Sell Their
Own Charcoal.
"Do yon keep charcoal?" asked a re
porter of a large coal dealer in tliis city.
"No, air. we do not. I have sold lots
of coal in my time, but never a pound of
charcoal. 1 don't even know how it is
made."
Leaving the wealthy coal merchant
the reporter sought one of those nonde
script coal hawkers who make a liveli
hood by attending to the wants in the
way of caloric of the very poor classes
in the by streets and alleys.
Having found one of these coal holes
the reporter approached the almost car
bonized specimen of humanity, who was
for the time being resting from his
labors, and propounded the question,
"What's the price of charcoal?"
"Eight cents a peck," replied a gruff
voice, and the little old man straight
ened himself out with an effort as he
stopped filling the peck measure, which
he judged to be about the newspaper
man's capacity.
"We don't sell much charcoal," he
continued, "only in small lots. Some
manufacturers buy their charcoal by the
great quantity. It is used in large lots
by persons who make ice chests and beer
coolers, as it is a poor conductor of heat.
There's a lining of charcoal three inches
thick in all sides of a beer cooler.
"Most country people bring their own
charcoal to the city in wagon loads, and
sell it for from fifteen cents to twenty
cents a bushel. We retail it at about
twenty cents to twenty-five cents per
bushel, and it is a dull sale at that."
The reporter now left the charcoal
man, and approached an individual who
had just disposed of a wagon load of the
material.
"Yes, I make charcoal," he replied in
answer to an inquiry. "In the winter
and spring is the time when charcoal is
made to the best advantage.
BUILDING THE PILE.
"1 am just clearing up a tract of wood
land and am turning the refuse to ac
count by manufacturing charcoal. Beech
wood aud hickory are the best for that
purpose. Oak makes a very poor coal,
and it is hardly worth burning. Gener
ally the good wood is culled out, and
then a huge circular pile is made of the
knots and refuse. This pile is often 100
feet in diameter and from ten to fifteen
feet in height. The wood is piled with
great care in straight rows around a
small opening, about one foot in diam
eter, which is left as a sort of chimney
for the fire to be started in.
"As soon as the pile is completed it is
covered all over with forest leaves or
straw, and then the whole mass is cov
ered with dirt to the thickness of three
or four inches. It now resembles a
small volcano, especially when the fire
is started and the smoke begins to issue
from the small opening left in the top.
The fire is started by dropping shavings
into the chimney which was left iv the
center, and then lighting them by drop
ping live coals into the cavity. A few
holes are made near the bottom of the
pile of dirt in order to create a draft,
and as soon as the fire begins to smoke
these holes are again closed.
"Now, if everything goes right, the
fire is allowed to smoulder away, with
just air enough to support combustion.
If a high wind should spring up, as it
often does, every hole is closed tight to
beep down the fire, and very often boards
must be laid over the whole pile to keep
out the wind. It takes from ten days to
two weeks to burn a 'pit,' as it is called,
and this time is a period of great anxie
ty to the charcoal burner, its the opera
tion must be watched night and day,
and a little negligence may cause the
loss of weeks of hard work.
BURNING THE "PIT."
! "As the tire progresses part of the
charcoal is consumed by combustion and
the remainder shrinks to nearly one-half
its original size. The shrinkage, of
course, would cause the dirt to be left
standing alone provided it would do so.
In order to meet this difficulty the tend
er goes round and round, over and over
the pile, packing the dirt with a shovel.
This continual packing must not be neg
lected, for if a cavity should occur and
the dirt cave in instantly, the whole pile
would burst out into flame which noth
ing could stop.
j "As the burning progresses holes are
punctured through the dirt in such places
as the tender thinks the fire has not yet
been. These holes create a draft and at
once bring tho fire to that part of the
pit, upon which the holes are again
closed and tho charring begins. As soon
as the tender thinks that the work is
complete he shuts up the chimney and
packs every hole. He then spends about
two days in packing the dirt, and watches
for crevices through which smoke issues
and closes them as soon as they are di*
covered. Barrels of water are now
hauled to the pit, and workmen begin to
open up a side and take out the charcoal.
If sparks of fire should be found they
are at once dashed with water, and as
the work progresses water is thrown into
•the pit, while the steam thus created
penetrates to all parts of the coal and
Jessens the danger of fire. As a rule all
fche coal is removed at once as a precau
tionary measure, and every man who has
[burned a pit is glad when he gets it off
his hands. From 700 to 1,000 bushels
are made in a pit. This is hauled away
(in wagon loads of 80 bushels to 100
fbushels, and sold for about fifteen cents
tper bushel. Thus from $120 to $150 ia
Realized on each pit."
, According to chemists only 20 to 22
iper cent, of the wood remains as char
coal, the rest being driven off as gases.
tCharcoal is 65 per cent, carbon.— Cincin

Gen. Vallcjo's Position in California.
One has to go back to the days of the
famous Spanish "marches," or frontier
towns built and defended in Spain's he
roic age by her proudest knights, to find
a fit parallel in history to the position
held by Gen. Vallejo during the closing
years of the Mexican rule in California.
Ho had absolute sway for a hundred
miles or more, and he "kept the border."
His men rode on horseback to Monterey
and to Capt. Sutter's fort on the Sacra
mento, bringing him news and carrying
bis letters. Spanish families colonized
Jthe fertile valleys under his protection,
and Indians came and built in the shad
ows of the Sonoma mission.
He owned, as ho believed by unassail
able title, the largest and finest ranch in
the province, and ho dispensed a hos
pitality so generous and universal that
it was admired and extolled even among
the old Spanish families. J. Quinn
Thornton, who visited the coast in 1848,
and published his experiences, says:
"Governor General Vallejo owns 1,000
horses that are broken to the saddle and
bridle, and 9,000 that are not broken.
Broken horses readily bring $100 apiece,
but the unbroken ones can be purchased
for a trivial sum."
More and more in the closing years of
the epoch and the days of the conquest
Gen. Vallejo became the representative
man of his people, and so he has re
ceived, among many of the old families,
the reproachful name of a traitor to Cali
fornia and to his nation. The quiet in
tensity of this bitterness, even today, is
a startling tiling. I have seen men of
pure blood, famous in provincial history,
leave the room at the name of Vallejo.—

rolumbus' Body.
Christopher Columbus died in obscurity
and poverty at Valadolid, Spain, May
20, 1506. By special favor of the monks
of St. Francis his body was, for a time,
deposited in the vault of their church in
that city, but some years later, in pur
suance of his own expressed wish, the
remains were translated to Hispaniola
and placed in a crypt under the cathe
dral of San Domingo. In 1529 the body
of Diego, the son of Columbus, was also
buried in the crypt, and some years
afterward that of Luis, the discoverer's
grandson, was laid with the other two.
In 1795 the Spanish part of San Domingo
wits ceded to the French, bnt before the
cession permission was given for the re
moval of Columbus' body to Havana.
A metallic case, supposed to contain
the body of the discoverer, was removed
and placed in the Cathedral of Havana,
and the matter rested until 1877, when a
metallic casket was found in the Sau
Domingo vault, which beyond all doubt
was that of Ciiristopher Columbus. It
was inscribed both within and without
with his name and titles, and proved be
yond question that, through haste or
carelessness, the persons who effected
the removal in 1T95 had carried away the
body of Diego, the son of Columbus,
and that the remains of the great ad
miral now rest beneath the Cathedral of
San Domingo.—St. Louis Globe-Demo

A Northern Hootloo.
Slug No. 4 was a pretty good printer
and a Jolly fellow outside when the last
form had gone down. But he was a
southern man, and he couldn't, to save
his life, get rid of the dialect of the darky.
"I doan't know how it is." he used to
say, '-but yo'fellahs seem ter see sumpin'
bery sahprisin' about the way I talk."
The boys in the same alley used to have
a good deal of fun with No. 4 and his
dialect, and one day they teased him sc
that, dropping a stickful of agate type,
he turned upon the one nearest to him,
and raising both hands exclaimed:
"I cuss yo'! I cuss yo'! I cuss yo' till
de hoodoo gits yo'!"
That was all very funny for the boys,
but the strange part came three weeks
later, when the one who had been
"cussed" was discharged for cause. He
"subbed" around for a couple of days
after that, but couldn't find work again.
It looked as if the hoodoo had caught
him.
Slug No. 4 was treated very respect
fully after that. Somehow the boys
didn't like thkt hoodoo business. It was
too uncanny for them. —New York Even

Honesty.
Eugene Smith, secretary of the New
York Prison association, tells a remark
able story of the answer a thief gave to
the question, "Is honesty the best pol
icy?" It was in the Elmira reformatory,
where a class was undergoing instruc
tion. A young man asked permission
to answer the question. "I believe hon
esty is the best policy," said he, "be
cause of a case where I knew it to work
that way. See? There was two young
fellows in New York and they was
crooked, see? and they didn't succeed.
They went to Philadelphia, and they
turned over a new leaf and agreed to be
square and honest. They opened a cloth
ing store, tee? and they prospered. They
got everybody and they bor
rowed $100,000 to enlaage their business,
ami then they failed and got away with
every cent of the money, which they
never could have done if they hadn't
been honest. See?"— San FraDcisco Ar

Kemarkuble Memories.
There was a Corsican boy "Who could
rehearse 40,000 words, whether sense or
nonsense, as they were dictated, and
then repeat them in the reversed order
without making a single mistake. A
physician, about sixty years ago, could
repeat the whole of "Paradise Lost"
without making a single mistake, al
though he had not read it for twenty
years. Euler, the great mathematician,
when he became blind, could repeat the
whole of Virgil's and could re
member the first line and last line of ev
ery page of the particular edition which
he had been accustomed to read before
he became blind.—Spare Moments.

Does your heart throb violently after
unusual exertion or excitement ? It is not
heart disease, but indigestion.
Take Simmons Liver Regulator.
"As a matter of conceived duty to humanity I
wish to bear my testimony to the unfailing virtues
of Simmons Liver Regulator. If people could
only know what a splendid medicine it is, there
would be many a physician without a patient and
many an interminable doctor's bill saved. I con
sider it infallible In malarial infection. I had, for
many years, been a perfect physical wreck from a
combination of complaints, all the outgrowth of
malaria in my system, and, even under the skillful
hands of Dr. J. P. Jones, of this city, I had
despaired of ever being a well woman again. ,
Simmons Liver Regulator was recommended to <i
me. I tried it; it helped me, and it is the only
thing that ever did me any good. I persevered in
its use and lam now in perfect health. I know

TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE^
Were at the sale of Town Lots.
A -:- -:- SUCCESS I
The business portion nearly all sold. Nearly $20,000 was
realized. Every one happy over the result. The B. V. L Co. grate
fully acknowledge the above congratulations and desire to thank
the people, one and all, for their liberal attendance.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER ACRE!
Is still the price of Alessandro land. We found time on the day of
the sale to sell 80 acres for $8,000. Some of the very best lots of
the entire tract are still unsold. He who neglects the present op
portunity of buying the Best Orange and Fruit Land in Southern
California, with the Best Water Right in the World, at $100 per
acre, makes a mistake of a lifetime. Comment unnecessai y.
