It is reported that a home sick San Franciscan, who is visiting his friends in a distant land, finds occasiona l relief by having sand squirted in his face and then down his back with a bellows, somewhit as the wind does it in San Francisco. At a California fair several bottles of strained honey were exhibited, when a man put .a bottle of castor-oil with the rest. Several old ladies sampled it with the same result. The opinion of all who tried it was that the bee who made it was a fraud. One old lady said that even the bees had got to cheating uow-a-days. The Chinese say, " You must listen to your wife, but not believe her."
