TO Make q Mustard.Plaster.

Take with you to the kitchen an old
handkerchief and a coarser piece of rag
of about the same size. Put q little
water on the fire to boil. Put large
kitchen plate on the stove Tor range) to
get hot. Pour into bowl two heaping
tablespoonful of -four, and (nearly
flat) tablespoonful of mustard. While
dry mix them thoroughly; then pour a
little boiling water over the mixture I'M
til it is of the consistence of thin dough
lido not let it be thin enough to ooze
through any crack or crevice, as that is
what makes it "a nuisanceD. Put your
hot plate on the table, place the coarse
rag upon it. Lay your slough" upon
that; then spread over it your old hand
kerchief, and with your hand over the
handkerchief press the dough out to
the size required; then tuck the edges of
the handkerchief under the coarse rag,
and turn the plaster over on its face on
to the plate. Fold the ends over care
fully, and pin them Tor, better yet, haste
them). Now carry it on the plate to the
patient, and the plate will keep the poul-
tice warm while you are preparing the
patient for its application. For baby
or young child it is better to use ground
slippery-elm instead of flour; it is much
lighter and more desirable. Two small
tablespoonful of slippery-elm to fat
teaspoonful of mustard is about the
right proportion for an infant. Theplas-
ter may be bound on with towel or
handkerchief, and remain all night. The
skin will be just irritated enough by
morning. As the chief use of q mustard
plaster IS to act as a gentle irritant (rube-
facient, the medical men call those things
which make the skin red), these direc-
tons are safe and proper; but in cases
of sudden severe pain, where prompt &C
ton is required, clear mustard, mixed
cold, is required. When applied, it
should be carefully watched, and looked
at every now and then, in order to avid
any blistering. american Agriculturist,

4 Reported Wonderful Discovery.

A great discovery has been made on
the Mojave desert, which seems destined
to revolutionize viticulture in Southern
California. 1t has been found that
grape-cuttings inserted in the trunks of
the cacti on the deserted ground thrive
as vigorously as in cultivated land.
This fact is of great Importance to the
people. By the use of q chisel a man
can plant large vineyard in day, and
the vine so planted will climb the cactus
and grow luxuriously without cultivation
or irrigation. The dry, hot sands of the
desert will afford fine place for drying
raisins. In addition to grapes, it has
been proved that melons, cucumbers,
and tomatoes will grow from cactus
stock, so that the desert may soon bloom
as the rose.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Strawberries for Family Use.

It seems strange that while the fami.
lies of village and city people usually
have fair supply of this, the most de-
icious, the most healthful and most
easily grown of all the small fruits, not
one farmers family in five has even q
taste, of the cultivated varieties at any
rate, to say nothing of good supply
through the season; and yet each family
might have an abundance at one-hah or
one-fourth the price the villager has to
pay for them. If you ask householders
why they don't raise strawberries for
their families, the most common excuse
is that they cause too much trouble or
cost more than they are worth. Moth
ing that is worth having can be had
without some trouble, and a crop of
strawberries need not necessarily cost
more than q crop of cabbages or pota-
toes. Wishing to know just how much
it cost to raise small plot, kept an ac-
count of the expense of five square rods,
on which strawberries were grown for
family use last year. The plants were
set early in the spring of '79, in rows
four feet apart, one foot apart
in the rows. They were hoed
and weeded out five times during
the season, and the runners allowed to
grow and root all they would, and the
ground was nearly covered with plants
BY fall.
The plot produced 1876 quarts of ber-
ries, which supplied family of eight
persons with an abundance through the
season and left Is quarts to be sold,
which brought, at wholesale, ID cents
per quart, or SS.45-more than enough
to pay for the work done on the whole
plot. But, taking no account of those
sold, our berries cost only about three
and one-third cents per quart: No &C
count is made of the plants set, because
they were OF my own growing and cost
comparatively nothing; but supposing
they had been purchased At the usual
prices, the berries would have cost only
about five cents per quart. It should be
remembered that the same plot will
probably bear good crop this year,
with no further expense except that for
picking the berries and dollar or two
for fertilizer. should add that the
varieties were Downer's Prolific, Charles
Downing and Kentucky; and il there
are three more reliable sorts for family
use that will cover the strawberry
and be so valuable in other re
spects. it remains, I think, yet to be
proved. 1t is well to test the new varie-
ties. and there is a good deal of pleasure
in it If one does not mind disappoint-
ment; but the main dependence had
better be placed on the old, well tried
sOrts.--Cor. Rural NeU Yorker.

dren to be proud of it, and not consider
the labor involved as drudgery, nor the
soiling of his boots, clothes or hands as
Q dirty business.
The field first, and then the barn and
then the house will be considered; for
the field builds the barn and the house,
and q fine barn and snowy house never
vet made a field rich. "Prepare thy
work without and make it fit for myself
in the field, and afterward build thine
house," was the wise mans common
sense view of it. But he should by no
means be too careful in this respect, for
it is a wise economy and common sense
to make his house home in every way
pleasant, comfortable and attractive,
that he and his children may enjoy the
good of all their labor, and encourage
q proper self-respect and self-assertiOn
in the community. Men are often taken
at their own valuation, and it is COM
mon sense to value ones self as highly
as may be consistently maintained, but
to avoid going beyond that; for, by and
by, every mans work is tried, and he Is
judged by its results.
Farmers are very apt to be led astray
by exciting, if not untruthful, reports of
grand successes with this or that novel
process; this or that new crop; or by
wondrous accounts of mythical animals.
The common sense way to look at these
things is to wait little for final devel-
opments. There are farmers who have
money unprofitably invested in cooking
apparatus which they were misled into
believing would save halftheir feed, just
as Paddy's new stove saved half the
wood. and SO with two of them he would

ArToRNRY-GESERAL MACYRAGH evil dently is not certain that the Star Route cases will be prosecuted with great dis patch, although he says it will not be for want of rsscality. He apprehends that the Grand Jury, as in the case of Captain HOwgste, will demand to hear all the testimony, as though it was trying the case. The telegraph reports MacVeagh as saving, in relation to these cases, that there would be evidence enough to send a dozen men to the penitentiary, but it will nevertheless require the whole moral force of the administration to be thrown in favor of conviction, if 1t was expected to overcome the influences brought to bear by the accused to secure acquittal. Merely left to take their course, if the administration failed to take an interest and stood neutral, the chances are ID favor of a failure of justice. The ac- cused have plenty of money and able counsel, social and political backing, and with two exceptions the entire newspa- per press of the District actively creating sympathy for them. That juries in the District are susceptible to suspicion of leniency towards parties accused of frauds on the Government the slowness of the present Grand Jury to act in the Howgate indictment is q case in point. A true bill was found only after eight days of investigation, when the evidence of Lieutenant CazaIre, given on the first day. backed as it was by records and vouchers, ought to have been sufficient in itself. The Grand Jury insisted on hearing evidence, as if Howgate was on trial before them. Should the same be pursued in the Star Route cases, and they will come before the same men, 1t will take three months to get true bill from them.

ELSEWHERE we publish statement of the private soldiers side of the late cam pajgn. The CITIZEN is perfectly willing to let the public have all the light pos sible We never attempt to make the news columns of our paper conform to our private views, but on the other hand We do try to make our views, as they ap- pear editorially, conform to the facts. There Is the only theory We have in con- ducting a newspaper, and that is that an ounce of fact is worth a pound of opinion. We have never held the rank and file of the army in this Territory as responsible for the miserable fiasco we have witnessed. They have simply obeyed the orders of their superiors, and it is the shoulder straps that are respon- sible for the failure. In fact We are credibly informed of an instance where the soldiers desired to follow a band of Indians who were in plain sight out on the open plain driving of stock, but the officer refused to permit it. He said he must report to Wilcox first. Such red tape stupidity will bring disgrace upon the bravest army that ever took the field. Our soldier friends skip the hard parts of the story. They don't say anything about the long delay at Dragoon Sum  init which permitted the red devils to effect their escape, and sundry other oc- currences which in themselves consti- tute monumental evidences of incapaci- ty. However, We have no hard words for the boys who form the rank and file of the army. They are necessarily the slaves of a lot of petty tyrants, who would like to lord it over civilians as well, if they could They are entitled to sympathy.

Another Big Mining Suit.

lTombstone Nugget, Oct. 3b.I
 Yesterday the papers were served upor the Head Center Consolidated Mining Company in a suit brought by the Frau, quility Mining Company, "t to recover possession of certain underground DOT tions of the Tranquility mining claim upon which the defendants have extend cd and busted plaintiffs, and from which defendants are extracting large quan- titles of ore, as shown by the complaint on file in said action, and for S5O,OOO damages for taking and conveying to its own use the ore mined and extracted from said portions of said Tranquility mine, and for an injunction generally and cost of suit"
 With two important suits the Head Center will certainly become surfeited with litigation. This suit, as also the one with the Contention, will come be- fore the District Court at its next ses- sion, during the coming month. The Head Center is not a full claim, but a triangular piece of ground, situated, unfortunately for law suits, between the Tranquility, Sulphuret and Contention.

THK San Francisco Chronicle has been engaged in a holy crusade against a number of evils and abuses existing iu King Kalakaua's Kingdom. The Chron- icle presents a very uninviting picture and its frankness has rather marred the pleasure of the Kings visit to this country. The King says the statements of the Chronicle are not true, but the Chronicle reinforces its charges by quo ting from the laws of the realm. There is evidently room for reform.
