Today the reverse ia the ease, says a very entertaining correspondent of the Chicago Herald. The first picking ia made about tire middle of DtHfiubor in the San Gabriel alley, and from the tint of January, for a month or an, the gathering continues uunliated. A few weeka previ-ou- a the wholes idu ahlpien go the rounda of the groves. Many of them havo arrangement from year to year with the owners, while ninny producers prefer ui make new contracts each son-- 1 son. Tlio agent inspect the grove and offer so much s'r box or so much for the fruit on the tree, and hero tlie resNmnihiliiy of tlia owner cense. The shipper puts on his pickers, the grower receives his check, and anoth- cr year is begun. The picking of the orange in largo orange centers, such as the Sun Gabriel Yulley, is announced by an addition Pi the floating population. Gangs of pickers Mexicans, Chinese, Americans, men and hoys gather from far and near, and the groves are Ailed with gay laughter and aong. Everybody is at work, and if the crop is large, every ono feels cheerful and confident. The orange grove of the imagination is a stretch of trees filled with golden fruit, where one can lie in the soft grass and luxuriato in the sight The nctu&l grove, while beautiful to the cyo, is nut a place for lounging, as the ground is or should be kept plowed continually und irrigated often by floods of water. But the trees are attractive; ever green, often .hewing ripe and green fruit and white lilohsunis at the samo time, they uro an engima. At laxiulcua nnd all through the southern country a gang of men under the head of a leader or oversner takes possession of a grove bright and early in the morning, two or three men being appointed to a tree, and the picking begins. Tall stepladders enable the pickers to reach the top branches, and each orange is carefully cut from the tree, hb if It Is pulled and the skin broken it will soon decay. The plckor wears a bag into which the fruit is dropped, which, when filled, is handed to the washer or scrubber. The latter, generally a Chinaman, waahes the black stain or rust from the fruit, polishing it with a cloth, after which it is passed to the assorter. Sometimes a simple machine is used, a runway, so that the oranges of the same size will all collect together. This accomplished, each orange la wrapped in variously colored paper and placed in the box ready for shipment A counter keeps tally of the boxes, as sometimes the owner Is paid by the box as well a the picker. The orange pickers are usually a jolly lot there being something about the business apparently that enlivens the spirits and imparts an air of jollity to the party. The Mexicans and Americans labor in harmony, but an orange-pickin- g team composed of Chinamen and Americans appears to work the reverse. At the orange picking time the country is a marvel to the easterner. While standing among the oranges tho picker looks away over grove after grave, fields of flowers acres of golden patches of wild daisies, bluebells and yellow violets and finally his eye rests upon the Sierra Madras, or mother mountains, rising but four or five miles distant, tho garden wall of this modern Hesperidea His nostrils inhale the odor of the orange blossoms, while his eyes greet tho snow banks of a vigorous winter. The great peaks are capped with snow, and the upland blizzard is raging with unabated fur'. From the vantage ground of the orange grove the wind can be seen on Mount San Antonio whirling the snow in gigantic wraiths, tossing it upward In huge clouds that rise hundreds of foot, to be borne away over the lowland and dissipated. With eyes on this arctic scene the observer can scarce believe the facts, scarce realize that he can by a single glance encompass winter and summer. The orange picker, however, has no time to spend on the icsthetics of the subject; he is picking against time, and an eager East is waiting. j The Ha bble-Babb- le. All typical orientals smoko.

There is a popular impression, that in the event of thu presidential clue-tio- n lielng thrown into thu house of representatives, which would follow if no candidate should have a majority of the electoral college, that the present house, with its 16U Ilemocratie majority, more or less, will huvu the deciding of the question of who shall be president for the next four years. That is a mistake. The matter was fully discussed in Washington at the time of the pussage of the new apiiortionment law. It was decided by the highest legal authority that, under the law as it stood, the house elected conjointly with the presidential doctors should have the deciding who was elected in ease of no choice by tho electoral college.
