A New Country.

We overheard two old-time prospect
ors talking recently. Said one to the
other;
''Do ye know what become of old 81
Slainfoot?"
"What, old Beans an Croppin's as the
boys used to call him?"
Eyes, he was always looking for crop
pins and borrowing BEANS.
ooh! yes; he's dead; died over in Los
Cabezas, bout six months ago."
''The HI you say! What was the mat
ter with him9"
"Do'no, but he struck stringer on
religion just before he died, an he kept
tellin' us fellows that there was new
district up above, where the streets were
paved with gold, and jasper, and whole
lot of high grade ore, an that he'd re-
corded his claims in the Big Book. He
kinder lost interest in beans and crop
pings, ripped round the the hills, sing
ing sans, an by gosh, some of the boys
said they saw him down on his marrer
bones prayin', but guess he was lookin'
for float. We tried to brace him up, an
got him to go over to the Huachucas, but
he said: Boys, I've got bonanza up
there; it's free milling ore, don't need
any smelter, an it's all pure truck, and
bimeby he died, an the last thing he
said was: Boys. I'll locate you on an
extension"

HOUSE AND FARM.

In making crust of any kind, do not
melt the lard in flour. Melting will in
jure the crust.
Water used in mixing bread must be
tepid. If it is too hot the loaf will be
full of great holes.
To boil potatoes successfully
the skin breaks, pour off the water
and let them finish cooking in their own
steam.
Steel knives may be saved from rust
ing by being rubbed with mutton tallow,
wrapped in paper, and put into baize-
lined chest.
To remove grease stains from wood
Spread soIne starch powder over the
grease spots, and then go over it with a
hot fat-iron till you have drawn the
grease; then scrape with glass or a
proper scraper, and repeat the starch
powder and hot iron. Ammonia liquor
may be used as finish, if the starch does
not take all the grease out.
Harmless face powder.-Bice powder,
though expensive, is warranted perfectly
harmless. Refined chalk is the safest
thing to use, and costs far less than if
put up under some other name and sold
in boxes. Cascarilla powder is much
used by Cuban ladies, and is considered
harmless. Wash the face with thick
suds from glycerine soap. and, when
dry, dust on the powder with puff or
piece of chamois skin.

SHE D1DN'T SAY.-s.Ma," said q Cass
avenue urchin, with dirt-covered
knuckles and pocket full of marbles, "is
it very wicked to play marbles for
keeps?'
Yes, my son, and you must never do
it,
Is it wicked when you lose all the
timer"
.Yes, just the same
is it wicked if you win all the time
and play with a boy who says his mother
says if she had yonr feet she would
never go out except after dark?'
''I-I-go and wash your hands and
get ready for supper" was the sharp
reply, and the had continued to play for
keeps.-( Detroit Free Press.

The Beachcomoers Of the raciflc

OF stories about beachcombers there is
positively no end. Perhaps one of the
best is that of Paunchy Billy of Samoa,
who was born in the same village as John
Paul Jones, and who was in the habit of
declaring, Sir, wouldn't go back to
Britain now if you was to give me q
thousand year; and yet will say that
when came here first, more than thirty
years ago, had fashion of sitting on
the stones by the seaside of night, and
crying to myself for the home and
friends should never see again. But I
know better now. and I have done with
this many year." Billy used to relate
how, when Commodore Wilkes exploring
expedition visited Samoa, he went on
board the United ship Porpoise dressed
in savage mats, and begged the Captain
to take him away. 81 don't want any
men; but what countryman are you?"
"a Scotchman," said the beachcomber.
"Well, them" said the American, 81
guess pity you more than little. I
cannot take you away; but here's q
sheath-knife and plug of James River
Cavendish, of which make you pres
ent. Had you been an American, I
would have had you tied up to the gang
way and have given you dozen with the
cat-o'-nine-tails Bill asked the captain
to explain. Because" retorted the
Commander, chad you been citizen of
the United States, I should have counted
you disgrace to humanity, for letting
yourself run wild among a lot of
scalping savages. But seeing you are
Britisher. and there is not room enough
for you all in your over-crowded coun-
try, pity you from the bottom of my
heart-I dew!"- Chambers Journal.

the House of Lords or of that in the

up one morning at the hotel in Ope1eika,
and sat at the window looking out.

The private station is not alone the post OF honor,
under certlin conditions, according to the poets
lines but 1t is getting to be also the approved place
OF safety. Mr.. Jay Gould is doubtless inclined to
that opinion by this time, any way. 1t now turns
out that the late attempt to extOrt from him money
or its equivalent In information touching probable
movements in the stock markets, under the threat
OF assassination IS only one OF series OF the kind
tried on that gentleman, and 1t was because that
sort OF thing was becoming little too frequent
that steps were taken to entrap and arrest the
criminal The effort proved successful, on Sum
day. through the joint action OF the police and the
poSt-ofce authorities OF New York, and the often
der Is now in jail His name Is j. Howard Welles,
and he appears to be well connected and OF good
character up to this point In his career.
His friends are now claiming for him,
however, want OF responsibility in the
premises, on the ground of insanity. His first letter
to Gould reads like that OF lunatic; but it is not
easy to see how the plea nterrOsed can in any way
better his case 1t may relieve him from the charge
OF blackmailing, but puts him in the equally bad
attitude of being Iunatic too dangerous to be at
large. In one sense society Is in far more serious
peril from the hand OF a crank with grievance,
real or supposed, than from that of blackmailer,
who makes murderous threats for the purpose Of
extorting money, and rarely or never executes
them.

Guiteau's antics yesterday, the first day OF his
tri1l, may tend to convince some minis that he Is
really insane, but the impression IL creates
quite generally Is that he is playing a cunningly
devised part That he appreciates the fact that
his only escape from the gaOws rests in the plea
of insanity Is evident from the ''addre5s," which
he prepared for publication. He pronounces him
Sell insane, something that truly diseased mind
rarely, III ever. admits. He was sane enough TO
carefully devise the assassination and to adhere
to his plan for weeks; to estimate the indigna-
ton OF the poPulace and TO prepare to escape
it. He is sane enough now to realize his situation
and see such points as may benefit him. There
fore, he is apparently sane enough to be held
legally responsible for his act. Still, he will have
every opportunity afforded to establish his in
sanity, If there Is any real ground for the plea.
But the sins unity dodge" has been played so
often in behalf OF atrOciOuS criminals that the
public viii require the plea in this case to be very
thoroughly substGntiited before he is allowed the
benefit or it.
