The Tables Turned.
FATHER PUTS OUT HIS SONS CIGAR AND
THE ORDER IS DUPLICATED.

One day, years ago, a Cleveland boy
went into the house where his father
was sitting, took out cigar, lighted it,
and began to smoke.
"My son." said the old man, ''you
shall not smoke. My father never
allowed me to smoke, and shall inforce
the same rule as to you. However, you
can take your choice. Live with me and
not smoke, or go out into the cold world
and smoke"
Father, is this your unalterable de-
cision?"
--sa.My words have gone forth. THE
order shall not be recinded"
The boy threw his cigar into the fire
and unused. Time, uninterrupted, con-
timed to glide until years had flown.
The boy grew to be a man, and owned
house, and was the proprietor of
wife and children. The old gentleman,
a wandering bankrupt, was tending
sheep for n Choctaw Indian. One day
the Indian threatened to scalp him, and,
turning away, he went to live with his
son. The old mans knees smote them
selves and the young mans lip qIliyered
when the family reunion took place.
"This shall always be Your home"
said the son.
''Let the saints be praised" said the
old man, as he filed cob pipe with
the Kentucky tobacco and began to
smoke.
"My father" said the son, ''you shall
not smoke. My old man never allowed
me to smoke, and / shall inforce the
same rule as to you. However, you
can take your choice. Live with me
and not smoke, or so out into the cold
world and smoke.
"My son, is this your unalterablede
cision?"
''My words have gone forth. The
order shall not be recinded."
The father threw his pipe into the
fire, and the two men looked at each
other and chuckled. ---------

A Simple Comforter.
SOMETHING FOR THE LADIES TO WORK
IN woRSTED.

This is not intended to be used as a
scarf, but TO be worn over the shoulders
between the vest and coat, with the two
ends partly crossing in front so as to
protect the chest. If well made it will
be fiat. and snug,~ ~take-up~ little room,
and be of great comfort to any one ex-
posed to the cold rough winds of March.
Take three ounces of Germantown
worsted or German knitting yarn, one
and one-haf ounces of mauve colored,
and long No. hook. Wind the gray
into one ball, and the mauve into two.
Make chain of forty stitches with
mauve, and work in Afghan stitch n
piece an inch deep. On the next row
raise six stitches i'll mauve, then join ON
the gray and raise all the rest in this
color except the last six, which are to
be raised in mauve from the second ball.
Work back the mauve stitches in mauve,
then the gray in gray, and finally the
mauve in mauve. This gives COM
forter in gray with mauve edges.
The whole comforter may be worked
in this way until it is long enough.
When you finish, work IN m auve an inch
deep, to match the first end, the last
row of all being DC, to make neat
ending. Add fringe if desired. But
comforter worked of one uniform width
throughout will not SIT snugly round
the shoulders. And so to insure nice
fit here several narrow gussets must be
made in the middle of the comforter in
this fashion: *Raise the first ten stitches
(six mauve, four gray, and work back.
Next raise twenty and work back. Then
raise thirty and work back. Finally
raise the whole forty and work back.
This finishes one gusset. Repeat again
from till you have widened enough.
Probably the best way viii be to try,
after inserting two or three gussets, if
the half sits well. Or You may cut out
a paper pattern and work to that. Hthe
gussets have to be very wide then raise
and work off eight stitches instead of
ten, or even six or four if needed.
The exact quantity of worsted used
will depend partly upon the length of
the comforter, partly on the size of the
hook and partly on the worker, but the
amount named will he good average
guide. Nearly half of it should be used
when the gore is begun. If the hook is
too large, or the work is very loose,
forty stitches will probably make the
comforter too wide to fit well on the top
of the shoulder. In that case reduce
the number. Six or seven stitches
should measure an inch.

An Immense Ranch.
now THEY FARM II m cAI1roRNrA.
The rancho of H. j. Glenn, in Colusa
coI11, t7v SAYS n fexvS,af1er eofrespOndent


The rancho of Ell. j. Glenn, in Colusa
county, says anewspape correspondent,
is oneof the largest and most noted in
the State, and perhaps presents the
best illustration of extraordinary farm
ing along the Sacramento. On being
asked recently why he raised wheat
alone, his reply was as follows =" Peo-
pie ask why raise all wheat. The an
swer is simple. 1t is the only crop that
viii bear transportation it is the only
crop not perishable. would not raise
on my land what ruins me, but what is
profitable. I"
DIR. Glenn's ranch comprises about
sixty Thousand acres of land and the
number of acres in wheat: eacr year
ranges between forty and fifty thousand.
Reckoning an average of from twenty to
twenty-five bushels to the acre, the ag-
gregate crop each year amounts to more
than ], ZOO, 900 bushels. This enormous
amount of grain requires vast appli-
ances for planting and bringing 1t to
market and the capital invested in
machinery sums up considerable for
tune. During the last contest for Gov
ernorship of California, DIR. Glenn was
the candidate of the Democratic and
New Constitution parties and to a
representative of one of the city papers
who visited the ranch during the cam
paign, some noteworthy statistics were
furnished. According to the report,
during the harvest time there are en-
ployed ON the entire ranch some 500
men. DIR. Glenn is general-in-chief of
l,ss, orr
convenience of operations, into nine
smaller ranches each with dwelling
house, barnes, blacksmith shop and 9th
er necessary buildings. In charge of
these are seven foremen, under whom
are sixteen blacksmiths, fourteen car
penters, six engineers, six machinists,
five commissaries and numerous cooks
and servants.
The common workmen are divided In
to gangs and detailed where they are
needed There are 130 gang-plows; GO
herders, to which belong $50 wagons /;
six cleaners, 100 harrows, eighteen
seeders, six thrashers, six engines. Be-
side, there are many smaller instru-
ments and vehicles which cannot be
classified. Cooperating with their hu-
man brethren in the great labor are
1000 work horses and mules, with kin
ship of 1000 brood-mares and younger
stock which have not achieved the Dig
nifty of labor. There are thirty-two
dwelling houees, twenty-seven barns,
fourteen blacksmith shops and struc-
lures sufficient to swell the aggregate to
100. The machinery could not be re-
placed for 1925, 600; the work horses
and mules are worth $4,000; the
brood-mares and young stock 5000,
and the buildings ON the place 100000.
The ranch is about twenty miles above
the town of Colusa.

THE GREAT SALT LAKE.
Peculiarties of the Large Body of
Water--Proeuring Salt.


One of the wonders of Utah is that of
the Great Salt Lake. AT present it oc-
cupies space equal to about 5000
square miles. The greatest length is
ninety-three miles, while the greatest
width is forty-three. Several large
islands rise to great heights above the
surface, the largest of which is over
thirty miles long, and in the widest
place about twelve miles across, and it
is mountainous in its character, with
streams of water formed by springs and
drainage, flowing through the rayines
and CANYONS. On this island, which is
called by the names of Antelope or
Church island, ranchmen have raised
herds OF horses, cattle and sheep upon
the rich grasses found there.
The other islands, of which there are
several, are small. and inhabited by looms
and sea-gulls. The flow of water into
the lake from the rivers Bear, Weber
and Jordan, and of numerous small
streams, from actual measurement, is
over 5000 cubic feet per minute-a
quantity sufficient to fill the lake in one
year to n depth of forty inches. But
the evaporation is so great in this eli
mate that this great influx Is overcome,
and the lake remains much the same in
height from year to year. In the spring
the water is some inches higher than Mt
any other period. The greatest depth
of water yet fathomed is sixty feet.
While the waters of the sea contain two
per cent. of salt, that of the Great Salt
Lake contains about twenty-five per
cent, or about one fifth the bulk. Dur
ing the summer season the lake water
becomes warm, and makes an agreeable
and invigorating bath, which is taken
advantage of by thousands, not only as
source of enjoyment, but for the cure
of chronic and other diseases, for which
it has proven very efficacious.
One great source of wealth comes
from the immense deposit of white
crystalized salt that deposits on the
shores and is scooped up and sent off
for use in the silver mills of Idaho,
Montana, Nevada and Colorado. The
past year fully 10000 tons of salt have
been gathered from the lake and shipped
for use. Citizens of Utah use this salt
for domestic purposes, while cabinets
of minerals are incomplete without
sample of the beautiful salt crystalized
on some shrub which found its way into
the waters of this briny inland sea.
During storms waves rise SO high that
it is exceedingly dangerous for boats to
be out from safe harbor.

War Song of the Beers.

The Beers war song creates much in
terest in England, being valuable con-
tribution to the knowledge of the spirit
the people of the Transvaal.
The following is the text:
Hands off Stand back Leave us alonel
You shall not rob us of our own;
We viii be freei We will be freei
God and right shall our standard be.
Our fathers sweat, our fathers blood
Have soaked the ground ON which they
stood;
Our mothers tears, our mothers toll
Have hallowed our blest Afric's soil.
This is our land this is our land,
Reclaimed by our good fathers hand;
Reclaimed by them, we claim it now
AS q garden made by the yeoman's plow.
We ask but what to US was left,
Nor shall it fiom our grasp be reft--
: For Fatherland and freedom we viii die
Or live yictoriouely.

Silk Manufacture in the United States.

With a rate of duty ranging from
sixty to one hundred and twenty per
cent, there were imported into the
United States last year S33, ,3O5, ,46O
worth of silk goods of foreign manufac-
trre. This is an increase of nearly
5000, 600 over 1879, and 5000, 900
more ths in 1878. 1t is desirable that
the UnS ed States should import none
but raw silk, if indeed it prove impossi-
BILE to raise our own silk worms, and the
duties have been maintained at their
present excessive rates mainly with the
view to protect the domestic manufac-
ture. This is conducted chiefly in Con-
necticut, New York, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and has
proved very successful as regards GER
tain classes of goods.
The New Jersey silk mills give en-
ployment to 1882 hands, to whom
they pay wages to the extent of $4,047,-
745-$300 per capita, which is consider
cd nominally good wages, considering
that a good many of the employees are
women and children.
The gross value of the manufactured
silk products in the United States for
Tie CELSIUS year lcco WAS S4U, 10, zoo, J,
the gross value of materials and sup
plies for this manufacture was so, 81, :
800; the net value of finished goods was
334, ,410, 463; the number of silk factories
in the country was 3S3 tue capital, real
and personal, invested in this industry
was $1S, ,S99, 500; the number of looms
at work was 8, 467 the maximum num-
Der of hands employed during the year
was "a, ,440 Gncluding g, $50 males over
