The Iowa City Republican has un-
earthed q very peculiar case of Tanner
ism. Nothing like it has been heard OF
in that part of the country before. The
fact that the lady referred to is we'll
known in the community and that the
most reputable physicians of Iowa City
have examined her case leaves no doubt
as to the accuracy of the following
statement: '.Miss Hattie Deal, sister
in-law of DIR. Aylworth, of this city, has
not taken a morsel of food for twenty
five days, nor has she spoken word for
three years. She abstained from food
on the ground that it was her religious
duty to do so, and from talking for the
same reason. Persuasion of friends is
useless, and she is slowly wasting away.
Miss Deal is maiden lady of 81 years
of age, and has always been highly re.
spected.''

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 a
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-half 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 a crop of cabbages or pota-
toes. Wishing to know just how much
it cost to raise a 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 10, 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 1856 quarts of ber-
ries, which supplied a family of eight
persons with an abundance through the
season and left IS quarts 90 be sold,
which brought, at wholesale, Ii cents
per quart, or $S.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 ac-
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. 1t should ba
remembered that the same plot will
probably bear a 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 if there
are three more reliable sorts for family
use that will cover the strawberry
season, and be SO valuable in other re-
spects, it remains, I think, yet to be
proved. It is well to test the new varie-
ties, and there is a good deal of pleasure
ment; but the main dependence had
better be placed on the old, well-tried
sorts.--Cor. Rural NeW Yorker.

Take with you to the kitchen an old
handkerchief and a coarser piece of rag
of about the same size. Put little
water on the fire to boil. Put large
kitchen plate on the stove (or range) to
get hot. Pour into bowl two heaping
tablespoonfuls of -four, and (nearly
f1at) tablespoonful of mustard. While
dry mix them thoroughly; then pour a
little boiling water over the mixture un-
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 nuisanceO. Put your
hot plate on the table, place the coarse
rag upon it. Lay your s'dough" 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 (or. 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
tablespoonfuls of slippery-elm to a fiat
teaspoonful of mustard is about the
right proportion for an infant. The plas-
ter may be bound on with a towel or
handkerchief, and remain all night. The
skin will be just irritated enough by
morning. As the chief use of a mustard
plaster IS to act as gentle irritant (rube-
facie,at, 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 ac-
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.-Ameyica Agriculturist,

A 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 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 a 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.

We were informed by a promi-

We were informed by a promi-
nent merchant yesterday that his
firm is in receipt of complaints
from points in Arizona and New
Mexico that some of the produce
shippers from this county are In
the habit of mixing produce of an
inferior quality with the good,
thus not only iDjuring the sale Of
the consignment so packed, but
the character of all similar goods
from this section. This ia q short
sighted policy, and it is to be hoped
that those who, for the paltry pres
emit gain of a few dollars, thus jeop-
ardize the chance Of our retaining
q permanent and constantly grow.
ing market for our surplus produce,
will be ferretted out and exposed.
The Santa Paula correspondent
of the Santa Barbara Press, under
date of October 21st, says Of the
operations of the Los Angeles Oil
Company in the Sespe district:
From the Sespe oil regions the
news is encouraging. Your CORES
pendent was informed by the Sec
rotary that the Los Angeles Oil
Company has contracted with par
ties to put down new we'll in the
immediate vicinity of their old
well. The boiler for the machin-
cry will be delivered on the ground
In few days, and will be set up
about half way between their we'll
and the locality selected to put
down the new one, from which
steam will be supplied to the en-
CINE that will do the drilling and
also furnish power to keep the
pump going in their old one. That
this company will strike oil is no
longer u question, and with two
wells affording sixty barrels per
day each, u pipe line to the sea
will be a certainty.
About 10 O'Clock last night,
couple of Cinnamon appeared at
Police Headquarters and said that
one of their countrymen had been
knocked down in Chinatown and
nearly killed by Chinaman
named Toy Yung. Officer Green
was dispatched to the scene of the
row and arrested Yung. giant in
stature compared to the general
run of that raee. He was followed
to the police Office by u number of
Celestials. who offered to put up
bail for his appearance. Their
good offices were declined, how
ever, and the prisoner looked up.
Chief Gard then went to China
town to examine the injured man,
whom he found with his head
bound up and surrounded by II lot
of friends, all OF whom SIM
ultaneousIy commenced to give
the Chief an account of the
difficulty, the "dying" man join
ing in with such volubility as TO
convince the Chief that the serv-
Ices Of the Coroner would not be
required in the case. The row, it
appears, grew out of q demand by
All Ohu, the injured Chinsman,
for some money that he claimed
Yung owed him. He became SO
pertinaci0us in his demand finally
that Yung drew heavy wooden
pipe that he was smoking and
knocked him down. The matter
will be adjudicated before Judge
Adams this morning.
