A FRENCH physician has called
spinach "the broom of the stomach"
for it cleanses and purifies this father
of a mutinous family when badly
treated. This vegetable has deli
cate flavor and needs careful wash
ing; it is then boiled in a small
quantity of salt water for fifteen
minutes. When drained and pressed
from all moisture it is placed in a
dish and served with melted butter
or egg sauce; there may be a dash of
tarragon vinegar added. The spin
ach is garnished with ring of hard
boiled eggs. After dandelion is
carefully washed, pour boiling water
over it and let it be stepped until the
strong bitter taste had disappeared;
then after straining boil the greens
fifteen minutes with some salt;
drain off all the water and serve
with vinegar or lemon juice and
water.

A Town Built on Diamonds.

No town in South Africa can
boast such rapid growth as Kimber-
ley, the seat of the government in
GrivuaIand West, and the head
quarters of the South African dia-
mond diggings. Eleven years ago
not a hut stood where now some
$4,000 people, with a trade of over
S2,OOO000 year, form one of the
most thriving communities on the
African continent. 1t is now dis
covered that the town is built upon
land that promises to be as produc-
tive of diamonds as the neigh
boring "diggings," which have
been the source of its wealth and
the very origin of its existence.
Kimberley is identical with the
New Rush" diamond settlement of
1870; and the thousands who focked
to the locality to secure a ''claim" in
the valuable reefs, which have been
worked further and further to the
east of the future town, where in
such a hurry to seek their fortune in
the digging that they forgot to in
quire whether the soil on which they
pitched their tents or erected their
Iog-huts was not equally diamond
ferrous. AS the wooden shantieS
haYe given place to more substan-
tial buildings, it has been found that
Kimberley itself has been built on
a diamond field, and that the west
end or residential part of the town
is as full Of gems as the actual Dig
gings themselves at the eastern or
working end of the town: New
claims are being taken up in
all directions, and land which
was beginning to acquire consid-
cradle value as building sites has
suddenly assumed Importance as
possibly containing some new "Star
of South Africa" How many houses
will be pulled down in the search
for the diamonds upon which they
are built it would be difficult to say.
But it WILDE interesting to watch
the future progress Of town which
owes its existence and its SubSe-
quent partial destruction and re-
moval to the same cause.-the
abundance of the diamonds in the
midst of which it appears to have
grown.

New AiP-Rrske.

The Union Pacific train which ar
rived in Ogden last evening was
provided with the latest improve
ments in the Westenhouse air
brakes. The old brakes, long in use
on this road, depend on direct pres
sure OF air sent from the receiver
under the cab of the engine, back
through the pipes the entire length
OF a train, to apply the brakes to the
wheel. This required time and was
not as instantaneous in its actions
as was often desired. The new
brake is called the automatic, and
is operated by air from receivers
placed under each car and near the
air cylinder which works the brakes.
The air pump keeps the receivers
supplied at all times with the pro-
per pressure, and when the engi-
neer wishes to apply the brakes he
opens a valve which eXhausts the
conducting pipes under the cars, of
the air in them. This has the effect
to open the valves and permit the
air to pass into the brake cylinders
and apply the brakes to the wheels.
When it is desired to release this
pressure the engineer turns valve
so as to restore the pressure in the
conducting pipes, and that pressure
at once opens a valve which per-
mits the escape of the air in the
brake cylinders, and thus release the
wheels. 1t puzzles the engineer at
first, as his mode of procedure is
just the reverse Of the old system,
but they are full of praises of the
new brakes. Should anything occur
to make it desirable to use these
brakes in the manner the old ones
operated, it only takes a moment to
so arrange them. This is the first
train which has arrived at Ogden
provided with the improvements

HOW Indians Return Calls.

A party Of Sioux Indians were
guests" Milwaukee hotel, and the
ladies had a great deal Of amuse-
ment with them, studying their Gus
toms. That is, they all did except
one lady. The ladies called upon the
Indians, and the savages returned
the call almost before the ladies got
to their rooms. One lady called on
a chief and then went to her room
and retired, and pretty soon there
was a knock at her door and she
found that it was the chief. She
told him to come in the morning.
The lady unlocks her door in the
morning so that the porter can come
in and build fire before she gets
up. She heard a knock in the morn
ing, and supposing it was the
porter she said, "come in" The door
opened and in walked Mr.. Indian.
She took one look at him, and then
pulled the bedclothes over her head.
He sat on the side of her bed and
said, "How?" Well, she was so
scared that she did not know "HoW"
from Adam. She said to him in the
best Sioux that she could command,
"Please, good Mr.. Indian, 90 away
until | get up" but he didn't seem
to be in hurry. He picked up
different pieces of her wearing APP
parel from the floor, different ar
ticles that he didn't seem to know
anything about where worn, and
made comments on them in the
Sioux tongue. The stockings
seemed to paralyze his untutored
mind the most. They were those
long 900-in-the-shade stockings and
they were too much for his feeble
intellect. He held them up by the
toes and said "Ughp' The lady
trembled and wished he would go
away. He seemed to take great
delight in examining the hair on the
bureau, and looked at the lady as
much as to say, Poor girl; some
hostile tribe has made war on the
pale face and taken many scalps."
Finally she happened to think of the
bell and she rang it as though the
house was on fire, and pretty soon
the porter came and invited the In
dian to 90 down stairs and take a
drink. The lady locked that door,
too quick, and she will never leave
it open again when there are Indians
in town. She says her hair-on the
bur9Bu-fairly turned gray from
fright.

A CARD.

Certain persons presumiRg 10 speak for
"The Saloon Keepers Union" ~ are
surreptitiously accusing me of having
dors some deed without nsme," which
in their estimation hss assumed terrible
proportions. When, how, and where,
and Of what it consists no one knows, at
least it so appears, as none Of them is
able TO tell.
Taking the ground that any one Who
knows anything can tell something about
it, therefore extend an invitation to the
Union or any of It's friends to "tell it
ALL" If they can show anything dis
honorable in my course. | sincerely beg
Of them that they will not spare my
feelings.
Should the papers hesitate to print such
statements as you msy desire to make,
please send your manuscript to me over
your OVID signatures, and will have it
published at regular advertising rates.
Now, let me hear from you, or by your
silence give confirmation to what is gen
orally conceded, that you have nothing
to say. start your phonograph if there
is anything in it. I'll stay with you.

The late Fernando Woods wife
bore hlm several children, and died
about 10 years ago. Soon after he'
burial he married u young aud fashion,
able heircss of New York, with whom
bv lived but sbor, time. Her
mother was very peculiar woman
and sometimes imagined that Mr..
Wood was ccnspirlng to take her life
or TO rob her Of her property. AL
though. an inmate Of her household,
her conduct was such as to occasion
great scandel, which eliminated in a
sensational manner by her tragic
death. Mr.. Wood resided in n hand
some house at the corner OF Fifteenth
and streets in Washington, his i'm.
mediate psighbors being Senator
Blaine, Caleb Gushing, Secretary
Hamilton Fish, Gen. B. f. Butler,
Gen Van Welt of the army, and other
famous men. One summer morning
the body Mrs. Of Woods mother was
found liteless upon the pavement in
front of Mr.. Woods residence. She
was clad only III her night-clothes,
and the most plausible and generally
accepted theory OF her death was TINT
she dad fallen from the window of her
chamber in the third story overlook
ing the spot urou which her body was
found. Her will contained the evi.
dence of her. resentment, as she De-
queathed her immense fortune 10 her
daughter, but prohibited the use of
dollar Of it as long as she remained

atterward Mrs. Wood became insane,
and is now suppose TO be an inmate
Of private s4nitarium near Philadel
