Linseed Oil.

Linseed oil is obtained from haxseed,
which is raised in large quantities in
Europe and India. The seeds are
ground under heavy stones, set on edge
and revolvedon beds of stone. Attached
to the edge stone are scrapers, which
throw the seed into the circular track OF
the roller. The ground seed is placed
in strong, woven wooden bags, which
are covered with mats made of horse
hair and sole leather. The whole is then
subjected to an immense hydraulic
pressure, sometimes with a steam heat
of 200 degrees Fahr., and sometimes
without. The expressed oil flows into
large tanks, where tits allowed to settle

Heroism of a Little California Girl.

We were witness to an act of bravery
on Monday afternoon that is seldom
equaled, never surpassed. A little
child of Mrs. Saul, some two or three
years old, was playing or running
around near the fume that conveys
water to the foundry, when in some
manner it CHANGED to fall in. The hume
was full of water running very rapidly.
There was no one near by but the little
daughter of Edward Keegan, who in
stantly jumped into the flume, caught
the child, aud screamed for help. The
water was running so rapidly that it
took her off her feet instantly. Still
she elung to the little one, and to a
great extent kept its head above water,
at the great risk of being drowned her.

cued them from their perilous situa.
ton. The little girl seemed perfectly
oblivious of self in her efforts to save
the child, and unless assistance had
been speedily redered would have be-
come martyr to her noble heroism.-

The ethereal blue color of the sky is
due to minute particles of matter which
flost in the air. Were these particles
removed the appearance of the sky
would be dead black. It is fact in
optics that exceedingly fine portions of
matter dispense or scatter the blue rays
of light, coarser portions scatter red
rays, still coarser portions scatter all
the rays, making white light. An at
rnosphere is full of aqueous vapor, the
particles of which diffuse white light in
all directions. When these particles
are enlarged they become visible in the
form of clouds. The vapor particles of
the white clouds are supposed to be
finer and lighter than those of the dark
clouds. That the diffusion of light in
our atmosphere, the blue coloring OF
the sky and the color of the clouds are
due to the presence of matter floating
in the air, has been conclusively proven
by Tyndall. On passing beam of sun
light through glass tube the beam is
rendered brilliantly visible by the re.
Election of light from the dust particles
floating in the air contained in the tube
But on removing the dust particles
which is done by filtering the air b.
cotton wool, or causing the air to pas
over a flame, the beam of light is M
longer visible In the tube.

COLUMBUS TOMB. - Writing

COLUMBUS TOMB. - Writing Of
churches in Havana, a correspondent
says: "The church of most interest
to the tourist is the cathedral of Ha-
vana, at the corner of Emperado and San
Ygnacio streets, an edifoe constructed
of soft brown stone, which, however,
has become somewhat blackened by the
age, having been erected as far back as
1724 The large doors in front, of
polished mahogany, you approach by
flights of stone steps, and as you enter
on the left, there is the little tomb
which contains the ashes OF Columbus.
Above it is slab of stone on which is
bust of the great discoverer. He
died in 1906 at Valladold, and his re-
mains. after resting in various places,
were finally brought and deposited here,
amid much pomp and ceremony, on the
18th of January, 1896. And yet / find
few of the residents of this city and few
tourists even who are aware of this
fact"

A SONG OF A NEST.
By JEAN ISGELow.

There was once a nest in the hollow
DOVE in the moses aud kno.-grass pressed,
Soft and warm, and full to the bTim
Vetches leaned over it, purple and dim,
With butter-cup buds to follow.
pray you hear my song OF nest,
For it is not long;
Yos shall never light in SUMMER quest
The bushes among
Shall never light prouder sitter,
A fairer Destful, nor ever know
softer sound than their tender twitter,
That winklike did come and go.
1 had nestful once of my own,
All happy, happyI;
Right dearly loved them but when they were
grown,
They spread out their wings to fly;
Oh. one after one, they flew away,
Far up the heavenly blue,
To the better country, the upper day,
And-I wish was going too.
1 pray you, what is the nest to me,
My empty nest?
And what is the shore where stood to see
My boat sail down to the west?
Can call that home where anchor yet,
Though my good man has sailed?
Can call that home where my nest was set,
Now all hopes have failed?
Nay, but the port where my sailor went,
And the land where my nestlings be,
There is the home where my thoughts are sent,
The only home for me.

Valuing Beauty.

The Persian ambassador, Mira
About Hassan, while he resided in
Paris, was an object of so much curiosi-
ty that he could not go out without be-
ing surrounded by multitude of gazers,
and the ladies even ventured so far as
to penetrate his hotel. On returning
one day from a ride, he found his apart
ments crowded with ladies, all elegantly
dressed, but not all equally beautiful.
Astonished at this unexpected as
semblage, he inquired what these Euro
pean odalisques could possibly want
with him. The interpreter replied that
they had come to look at his excellency.
The ambassador was surprised to find
himself an object of curiosity among a
people who boast of having attained the
acme of civilization and was not lit
tie offended at conduct which, in Asia,
would have been considered an unwar-
rantable breach Of good breeding. He
accordingly revenged himself by the fol-
lowing little scheme
The illustrious foreigner affected to
be charmed with the ladies. He looked
at them attentively, alternately pointing
to them with his finger, and speaking
with great earnestness to his interpre-
ter, who, he was well aware, would be
questioned by his fair visitors, and
whom he, therefore, instructed in the
part he was to act.
Accordingly, the eldest of the ladies,
who, in spite of her age, probably
thought herself the prettiest of the
whole party, and whose curiosity was
particularly excited, after his excellency
had passed through the suite of rooms,
coolly inquired what had been the OBJ
ject of his examination.
Madame" replied the interpreter,
" dare not inform you.
"But l wish particularly to know,
sir"
Sc Indeed, madame, it is impossible.
"Nay, sir, this reserve is vexatious
1 dc sire to know"
"Oh, since you desire, madame
know, then, thathis excellency has beer
valuing you"
"Well, that's whimsical enough
And how much may that lady be worth
according to his estimation p
GA thousand crowns"
| t'Apd the other ?"
Five hundred crowns"
"And that young lady with fan
hair ?''
"Three hundred crowns.
"And that brunette ?"
"The same price"
"And that lady who is painted ?"
"Fifty crowns"
"And pray, sir, what may 1 be wortl
in the tariff off his excellency's goo(
graces?"
"Oh, madame, you really must ex
cuse me, 1 beg"
"Come, come, no concealments !"
"The prince merely said, as he passed
you"
"Well, what did he say?" inquired
the lady, with great eagerness.
"He said, madame, that he did no
know the small coin of this country |!

PERHAPS the most gratifying intelli-
gence that the country has received
from Washington in fifteen years is the
announcement of the extensive s0earaing
3hat is now making among the able
bodied babies that have so long been
nursed at the "public teat." Accord
ing to Washington telegram, not less
than 5000 of these stalwart nurslings
have been ruthlessly torn from the ma
ternal bosom since the adjournment o;
Congress. Just imagine 5000 big lub-
berly babies all roaring in chorus fol
the maternal nipple, from which they
have been suddenly divorced. This is
the ediiying spectacle now witnessed
at Washington, among the discharged
army of supernumeraIy officeholders
The cause of regret is that instead o.
/ 5000 there were not 10000 of them.

LEMON PIE.-The grated rind of one
lemon, yolks of three eggs, one spoon
full melted butter, one cup sugar, three
fo1rths cup of water, one-fourth cup of
corn starch mix together, put IN the
crust and bake until done. Beat the
whites of the three eggs to astill froth,
put in about three teaspoons of sugar,
spread it ON the top and bake to light
brown.
WAFFLEs. well the yolks of
four eggs; add % pints of sweet milk
and ] teaspoonful of salt add enough
sifted flour to make rather stiff batter
beat the whites of the eggs very stiff,
and stir in lightly the last thing before
baking bake in waffle irons serve hot
and eat with butter and strip. If but
two eggs are used add one heaping tea
spoon of baking powder to the -four.
FLOUR CHOCOLATE one teacup OF
-four in a small iron kettle and set it
over the fire to scorch stir it constant
ly tn keep it from burning on to the
sides of the kettle. When the flour is
of a dark brown color, pour boiling
water over it, say two quarts or more,
if the drink should be moredesirable to
be thin. Let the whole boil up for a
few moments. Add one pint of sweet
milk, and sugar to suit the taste. Use
for drink the same as coffee.
BEAN SoUP-Is a dish that many
people, and especially children, would
relish if properly made. 1t requires
about half pint of cooked beans for a
quart of soup. Mash and boil until
well diffused in the water, and then run
through a cullender to take out the
skins. Thicker with about a gill OF
wheat meal, and add sprig of thyme
if desired. Boil five minutes, and salt
to the taste. The wheat meal makes II
much richer than thickening of fine
flour.
APPLE JELLY.@Soak one quart of ap-
pies in four quarts of water, over night,
boil until the apples are soft, strain the
water off carefully, and to one quart OF
Juice add a quart of sugar and boil until
it iells. If the apples are nice, you
may sweeten them and they will do very
well for sauce, especially if yon have
little lemon to put in them. But yor
can use apples for this that are not fl
for the table. In looking over driet
apples to stew, throw all that are no
frst-class into dish by themselves
for jelly.
WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE.-A CORE
spondent of The Garden gives recipe
for this popular sauce. He says: 81

California.

THE State is an empire in itself, pos
sessing every element of greatness and
wealth. The sky overhead is perpet-
ual blessing, the soil underfoot an ever
lasting mine Of wealth. 1t has always
seemed to us that Californians, especially
California farmers, as rule, do not ap-
preciate all the advantages that sur
round them. They live sort of Bedouin
lives; they neglect their homes, are care
less of shade trees, would rather buy
bacon than raise their own porkers, seem
to think as much of mustang as a
thoroughbred and would feel richer with
ten long-horned, totally -depraved Span
ish cows, worth five dollars per head,
than with one half-human Ayrshire that
would supply all the children OF the
home with milk and furnish fifty dollars
worth Of butter for market in a season
All that will change by any by. Men
will learn the value of rotation and
variety in crops; will appreciate that
one animal of good blood, well cared for,
is worth hundred cold-blooded brutes
which are never approached after they
are branded until it is thought time to
butcher them. They will learn, too, that
if their homes are made pleasant with
pianos, paintings shade trees, fruit trees
and fountains, the boys and girls will be
better contented, and not look forward
to twenty -one as the age that is to re-
lease them from prison. They will, by
and by, adopt these things, and the real
prosperity of the State will commence,
and hoodlums will cease to vex parents
and policemen. The germ is all right,
and the fruition will be so splendid that
we can afford to excuse present short
comings in the hope the near future
