She went down to the foot of the cliffs,

along the sands to the cove. The long par

HOUSE AND FARM.
Farm Notes.

Whom squashes and melons hnt break
ground, give them busting Of ash com
post, made Of equal parts Of sifted, un-
bleached wood ashes and gypsum or land
plaster. This will protect tho young plant
from the striped bug, and its use may be
continued With advantage until the vines
get SO strong rs not to care for this enemy.
As top dressing to almost any garden
crop, it will be found beneficial.
Why will not grass grow under our trees?
NJ. Paul Bert has shown that green light
hinders the development Of plants. Plants
enclosed in green glass frame vither and
die as though they we're in darkness. N.
Rcgn1rd finds that plants specially require
the red rays. II sunlight is deprived Of the
red rays, the plants soon cease to thrive.
Give tho young chickens weekly feed
Of chopped onions. It helps to keep them
healthy. A medium-size OMEN minced
very fine is enough for brood.
Turkeys are very useful in destroying in
scots, and of great service in orchards in
devouring windfalls, and in preventing the
growth Of worm eaten fruit.

Banner picnic.

mote little mining camp, came oil to-
day and was very enjoyable affair,
all being present except two men who
had to remain at the roasting furnace.
Some two weeks ago one OF our es-
Unable young ladies went around and
took up collection from the boys Tor
the purpose Of helping to defray the
expenses Of the occasion. OF course
the sum was not over large, our pop
ulation being small, but nevertheless,
all were happily surprised when they
took glance at the well laden table.
The cooking was done ct Mrs. Macon
Smiths, who was assisted by the other
ladies'. Everything was gotten up in
the best of style, and neatly spread
before the hungry mners, who had
been going on half rations for three
days previous But there was an
abundance for all and plenty left. The
candies were Of home manufacture,
being the production Of Mr.. Nelson
Cutler, an expert from Boston, bnt at
present working in the Crown Poiut
mine. The candy looked very nice to
an unsuspcctng person, but Mr. Lord
the assayer, thought that he could de-
tect suspicious cast TO it, SO he qui-
city made an assay Of it, and found it
to contain 10 per cent. of lard, and
also denounced Noise as blk Jim
Irwin and George Powell had to dis
cucumber themselves of their standing
collars in order to get the grub down
fast enough. Bob Shearer was Mar
shall If the day, aud had it not been
for falling in the creek, he, no doubt,
would have made good and lasting
record for himself.
The contestants for the creased pole
we're Messrs John and j. l.. Brown.
Won by j. l.. Brown. Superintendent
of the Elnira Silver Mining Company.
The ladies presented Mr.. Lord with
a mustard pie for being the best sailor.
Tom Graney and Joe Cummisky were
Respondent in Boiled shirts, and nearly
stampeded the whole gathering when
they first appeared, but after the ex-
element died away the ladies' voted
10 p esent them with the following for
being the handsomest men on the
ground: Tom, a Laurel Wreath; Joe
boiled Ham.
A good sell was got off on the whole
party by Mrs Cummisky, entitled "At
Prayer" aud another by Nose Kemp
ner; Ozark Moon in Clear Day." after
which could be seen some very funny
looking faces.
Next came the Sack Races as fol-
lows: Shearer and Graney, Shearer
winner, Cullum aid kempuer, Slim
Jim the chunk winner, AL Miller and
Albert Anderson, the latter being
winner.
Next came the Creased Pig race.
which was participated in by Miss II.
Smith and the good Iandlady of The
lower hotel The latter claims that
she would have won if the pig had
had a knot in its tail.
Taking everything into considera-
ton the day passed off we'll, and the
ladies of our little burg deserve I'M
limited praise, and the boys wish to
return them their sincere thanks. and
most particularly to Miss Naoma
Smith, whose untiring efforts brought
about this social affair. J. M.

While crossing the "wide, wild

moving object upon it. On nearing,
it was found to be half-starved rab-
bit, which the doctor easily captured.
1t was found that about half OF one
ear was gone, the wound being still
fresh and bleeding, it had the appear
ance Of having been gnawed off, at
which the doctor marveled much.
The boalman declared that the rabbit
