the babbling brook. Yet next morning
the bugs had the start OF her again.
This was kept up for several days.
Meantime the swamp fern and skunk
cabbage got fresh start on the bean
and raddish beds and quite swallowed
them up. The potato bugs monopo-
lied the entire energy and attention
of this agricultural pair. Nor was this
all. Pig-weed came. First, a cautious
old Pigweed, who had fiourished there
for generations. poked his head out of
the ground. After accommodating. he
gave the signal. Anon BY scores. hun
dreds and thousands. came other Pig
weeds. She wayed with them 4 feeble
warfare. WHAT could the Young wife
do. almost alone. against Skunk-cab-
bage,. Swamp Fern. Potato Bugs and
Pigweed? Nothing. Emboldened by
the success OF the Pig-weeds. the
TRAMPs OF THE VEGETABLE KINGDOM
rushed IN from all quarters. There
came Dock, Black weed, Wild Pepper
grass. Mullen and Stramonium, or
Stink weed.
They ravaged her little flower-gar-
den. They massacred the tender
plants They ate up their sustenance.
Tney crowded them out of existence.
She laid down the hoe in despair Ants
crowded along its handle. They erected
their habtation under it.
"How green your garden is getting"
he said to her one day. He had become
sarcastic. This was on or about the
25th of June. Sadly she took her little
hoe and cut down a few pig-weeds. She
then laid il down and took it up no
more that season. There it Law, and
the pig-weed, the dock, the wild pep
per-grass, the skunk-cabhage and the
stink-weed came up around it and over
Swallowed it,
.'How very green your garden has
grown" said he to her on the Sd of
August 1t was very green. The
wicked weeds had run out both flowers
and vegetables. They had full control
of all the governmental departments of
that garden. They outvoted the orig
inal occupants ten to one. The Veg
etable Aborigines of the soil had re-
gained their original supremacy. They
climbed the fence and poked their
heads riotOusly and impertinently be-
tween the pickets. The accidental, va
grant sunflOwer was elected Mayor Of
her garden. The streets and avenues
she had so nicely laid out between her
beds was invaded by disorderly. acct
dental pumpkin vine. The only sur
viving rosebush was mobbed by pig
weed. Over all this ruin the birds sung
their matin songs and Nature seemed
as blithesome and JOYFUL as though their
kitchen garden had been a success

The Mojave Desert.

About two o'clock in the morning, as
the Southern Pacific train runs south
ward, the Mojave Desert is reached;
and here the crumblng skeleton Of
nature lies hopeless of burial and
bleaching in the sun" No pen can de.
scribe the utter desolation of this re-
gion. On every side is bowling will
derness of rock and drifting sand; and
the only vegetation is n stunted species
of sage brush and the Yucca palm. This
latter tree is the glory OF the desert. and
sometimes attains a diameter of from
two to three feet and height of from
forty to fifty feet The trunk termi-
mates in stumpy branches. each having
at the extreme end tuft of dagger
shaped leaves. with dark green foliage
bristling in the most irritable manner,
and the whole presenting an appear
ance than which nothing more gro
tesque can be conceived. Even this
product of the desert has its uses. for,
the bark being removed. the trunk is
utilized in making paper. 1t is crushed
into pulp. and alterward taken to
mill near San Jose and manufactured.
1t is especially adapted for making a
superior class of bankn1te paper, which
proves to be firm and smooth and OF
great durability. In the midst OF this
desert is the only eating station be-
tween the San joaquin Valley and Los
Angeles. The water is carried in pipes
from spring ten miles distant; and
the butter, spring chickens and other
provisions are brought from points be-
yond the mountains The station is
the distributing point for several min
ing camps situated at considerable dis
tances from the railroad. and accord
ingly number of stores and shops are
also in successful operation. --Chieago

ueutts.
The first week or two of May is en-
chanting TO the amateur gardener in
this latitude. lis then he plants pO-
tatoes, corn, beans, onions, lettuce,
radishes, oyster-plant, Lima beans.
watermelons and muskmelons. In the
possibilities OF the future, it is to be de-
licious during the summer to pull rad
ishes and dig potatoes from ones own
garden. Ii is to be delicious to see
ones vegetables grow and to hear the
birds sing over them. The manage
ment of the house in the midst of which
this vegetable garden was situated de-
pended entirely on her. They kent no
servant. They declared they stood in
need of none. And while, during the
day, he was at his business in the city,
she essayed to care for the rapidly
growing vegetables. The good and
bad in this world do often prosper alike,
and oftimes the bad seems to prosper
as well if not better than the good. So
weeds, taking advantage of the appli-
ances placed in the soft ground for de-
velOping vegetables, grow as fast if not
faster than vegetables by man deemed
legitimate to that soil, simply because
he takes pleasure in eating them. al
though, if the question be considered
on its real merits, any fair. leveLhead-
ed man would say that the weeds being
the original natives of the soil and to
the manor born, have a better claim to
said soil than the vegetables, which are
generally foreign importations. How
ever, the vegetables must be protected
from the weeds by a hoe with a human
being at the business end.
PLUCKY LITTLE WOMAN
She was a plucky little woman. and
said she would ofliciate at this end of
the hoe while he was at business in the
city. So she did. For few weeks it
was drawn battle between her and
the weeds. The garden was on new
ground. and Il low-lying. swampy bit
OF ground, too. The weeds consisted
principally OF fern and swamp-cabbage
Her task was to keep down a voluntary
fernery and give the potatoes a chance.
The garden soil was mainly sand; not
sand indigenous to the place, but some
hauled from atar and spread over the
swamp. This was an idea Indigenous

proving the worst pieces OF land he
could pick out and buy cheap. He had
colonized him and her on this swamp,
and granted them rent free for the sum
mer in hopes that the presence of such
resnectable appearing settlers might
attract others to the spot. She was
not an expert in the knowledge OF veg
etables. Didn't. in fact, knowa potato
vine from a skunk-cabbage. BY the
middle OF June the skunk cabbage had
got the start of the potatoes, and
threatened to swallow them up. She
was of this happily ignorant, taking
the skunk-cabbage for some legitimate
vegetable which he had planted
among the potatoes. Thriving on her

John Mccullough.

John Mccullough, who begins his sea-
son at the Opera house this evening, was
extensively lonized in social way while
in London the past summer, and seems
to have been admired as much for his
manly worth as his artistic qualities One
of the most unique entertainments In his
honor was dinner party given by MIR.
John P Bigelow, one of the most Sue
cessful business men among the Ameri-
cans in Europe, who had issued cards t'to
meet Mr. John Mccullough, and that
noble Roman sat at the place of honor
with Edwin Booth Whose foreign tri
umphs are equally gratifying) on the left.
Some twenty or thirty prominent London
managers, actors and dramatists were
among the guests. The floral decora-
lions were very beautiful, large basket
of white roses and lilies occupying the
center of the table The menu was print
ed upon coffee colored cardboard, edged
with red, and at each plate, folded
with the napkin, was not only
6out0nnaere, but a broad, scar
let satin ribbon, embellished with
the name of the guest of the evening, in
gold letters The festive company placed
these across their shirt fronts as decora-
tions, and Mccullough said it almost
took away his appetite to see his name
staring him in the face whenever he
turned This form of compliment is
French in its origin There was some
informal speech making and old Jack
Ryder responded for the English stage.
This veteran was the original Appius
Claudius in "Virginlus," and played
with Macready in the piece something
like half a century ago. During the re-
cent Drury Lane revival he played ''Den-
tatus,'' in support of Mccullough. On
the last night he sent the latter his san
dals, saying he would not wear them
again in support of any ''Virginius.'
