A California Dairy House.

On the dairy farm of F. S. Clough,
San Gorgonio Pass, Los Angeles County,
there is model dairy house. 1t cost
81, 800. 1t is 1896 feet in ground d.
mansions. The butter room, an apart
ment 10xI5 feet in dimensions, is car
peted and as inviting as a parlor. The
apparatus for handling the milk and
making butter is complete in every de-
tail, and is designed throughout for the
saving of labor. A receiving vessel,
fitted with strainer, is located in the
milking yard, and this communicates
by pipe with the dairy house. The
mixers pour their milk into this receiv-
er and that is the end of their duties.
The fluid passes down through the pipe
TO 200-gallon tank in the dairy house,
whence it is drawn by the dairymen,
undergoing, meanwhile, second strain
ing process. 1t is then placed in pans
to cool and raise the cream. Water il
brought in pipes through the house from
a mountain spring. The churn holds 50
gallons of cream and turns out from 100
to 120 pounds of butter at each churn-
ing. 1t is worked by goat power, the
appliance being a treading wheel eight
cen feet in diameter, which connects
with and operates shaft running into
the dairy house, and this, in turn, con-
Meeting with cog-wheels working the
dasherS.
The ranch embraces about 1900 acres
of plateau and mountain land, fifty acres
of which are in alfalfa, producing at
least 200 tons of hay per season, and
fifty acres in beets. There is herd OF
$50 cows.-Sdn Francisco Bulletin.

The claimants to English estates
will be interested to learn that in the
parish of Kelsale, in Suffolk, there is a
property known as the "Kelsale House
Estate" consisting of mansion, two
farm houses, and 440 acres of land. On
this estate there is no known owner,
agent or occupier. No person is upon
it, and no labor of any kind has been
expendeduponitforthelasteig htmoDths.
The houses are uninhabited, and the
land waste. The taxes are unpaid,
and the 1.-THE rent charge is not collect
ed. There are 100 acres of pasture land,
but so full of mole hills that the grass is
worth little except for feeding purposes.
The arabic land is picture to behold;
it presents scene perhaps never before
witnessed, but often imagined, when
thinking of Goldsmith's " Deserted Viii
lage." Thousands of wild flowers now
in full beauty give an idea of fairyland

There are highly nervous or sensi-
tive individuals who think they are ben
Gifted by insulating their bedstead from
the floor. Their experience leads them
to believe that without insulation their
magnetic forces are drawn off. They
have tried it both ways. Without in
sulation they arise in the morning feel
ING sense of lassitude and an inability
to enter upon the duties of the day.
With insulation they arise full of en-
ergy and ready for any task. The insu-
lation is effected by using either thick
plate glass or pieces of rubber under
the feet of the bedstead. There are
those whose sleep is not only more re-
freshing but more unbroken when this
plan is pursued: We would therefore
commend this experiment to those who
are either wakefui or unrefreshed by
sleep.-Dr. Foote's Health Monthly for
august.

How Long a Baseball Pitcher Lasts.

Successful pitchers have very short
lives in their positions, the most diff
cult at first to hit becoming easy game
to the heavy hitters in about four years.
Especially is this the case when he is
put in to pitch every game for a few
seasons. Batters become familiar to
his balls and his different motions in de-
livering them. Spalding retired in his
glory after a short period of six years.
Matthews lasted seven years, but faced
no heavy hittors lately for any length of
time. Bond is now in his fifth success
full season, but gets it hard occasionally
this year, as does White, only in his
third year. Nicholas went out very sud-
denly, but did fine work for ew sea-
sons after 1875. Cummings was great
in the days of the lively-ball. This
chapter in pitchers history teaches that
the best pitcher will fail in about three
years if played without relief. Two
good pitchers will last long time if
changed every game.-Cincinnati En-
qlfirer.

"A ten-year-old boy, whose legs were
recently cut off by a train of cars at
Dubuque, Iowa, was too plucky to make
any fuss over the incident. When the
little fellow was taken home his legs
hung limp. but he did not complain.
Not a tear stood in his eyes, but the
tender look he gaze to those who stood
by his side told plainly that he was suf-
fering great agony. After the Doctor
had dressed his wounds he called his
parents, sisters and brothers to his bed
side, kissed one and all, and left tear
upon their cheeks. A second time he
called his motherto his side, placed his
arms about her neck and said: "Moth-
er, L am going to die in a few minutes.
Please forgive me for not mindins you
With this the little fellow fell back, and
as the mother said, " Yes, my angel"
and took another look at his face, she
found him beyond all pain.
