why the Chinese ShOu,d Go.

Those who have been in California
and who have looked beneath the surface
know what a veXing problem that state
is sure to prove to the entire American
people ere long. The condition of the
population there is such that even the
elimination of the Chinese disturbing
element will by no means secure peace
and order, although such elimination
will materially simplify matters. Those
who think life and society there are the
same as they are this side of the Rocky
Mountains, and that that there is no rea-
son why what has been found to work
well here should not work equally well
there, would do well to consider that
California has neither farming nor q
manufacturing class, and that it practi-
cally knows nothing of the virtues of
home life or of an honOred industrial
population.
A third of the population of California
is gathered in its great metropolis and
the suburbs thereof Only about TWEEN
ty per cent of its sO-called industrial
population is engaged in agriculture,
and of this number twO-thirds only are
farmers in the New England or North
western sense of the word. OF farms
under 500 acres there are 10000, which
at the ordinary computation would give
true farming community Ofabont 120,-
600 souls out of total population of
nearly 100000. The bulk of the land is
divided into great cattle ranches, owned
by handful of millionaires and kept by
amass of vagrant, dissolute, dispirited
herders. In the cities-and especially
in the one large city--the people live in
lodgings and take their meals at restau-
rants, 80 that the meaning of the good
old English word "home" is never learn
ed by the children.
The most dangerous classes in CalifOr-
MIA at present are the laborers who are
called to the assistance of the large
farmers for perhaps two months in the
year, and who. during the other ten
mOnths,roam through space without aim
or object. except to get enough to eat
and drink-especial to drink-and who
furnish the nucleus for all the demons
trations against law and and order In
the metropolis. What to do with these
degraded specimens ofthe race is a ques-
tion the wisest heads on the Pacific
coast have asked themselves ere this,and
in their search for solution they have
taken up the cry Of the same vagabond's

Don't Neglect the Lawns.


1t must be freely admitted by every
man and woman of taste that where
there is room there is nothing about a
private residence so attractive and beau
tiful as well-kept lawn; but this addi-
ton cannot be permanently secured I'M
less it receives proper attention. This
attention, however, is of rather pecu-
liar kind, but requires very little labor
and expense. There is nothing that
will keep in good heart by so little ma
nuring or rather fertilizing, and there is
nothing that resists pertinaciously the
application of stable manure. In course
of time, no doubt, lawn will suffer for
want of recuperating by the application
of some stimulating fertilizer; but we
would not recommend gnano even for
this purpose unless occasionally to o
light extent, and then to hurry up some
bare or barren spots, which would 9TH
erwise disfigure the rest. No doubt
ashes would be good, and so would the
rich, fine scrapings of wood-pile, a
dung-yard, ETC.. but we conceive that
there is nothing so well adapted to
lawns as artificial fertilizers of undoubt-
ed excellence, as are some of the phos-
pilates, of course as top dressing; but
none of these should be applied yearly;
in fact once in three years is quite fire.
quent enough. Our own experience
proves this. At one period we used
nothing for eight years, and the lawn
was better than majority of others
that we saw; but we should not recon-
mend this.
In the spring. as soon-say at the end
of March or beginning of April-as the
ground is dry enough to work upon, it
should be carefully raked off and thor
oughly rolled. This presses back into
the ground the roots of the grass that
the frost always more or less heaves up.
BY the latter part of April, when any
bare spots can be seen, they should be,
after being scratched well by the rake,
thickly sown with seed and rolled. BY
midsummer these spots will all have
disappeared Early in May, or as soon
as the grass shall be long enough to
clip, it should be done. This will
spread the roots and young spires, and
cause them to sprout thick and fine. If
a very heavy top-dressing is used, it
will produce bare spots; and neglect of
frequent cIipping-say once in ten or
twelve days, as the growing state of the
weather may be-will cause the spires
to be thin, rank and uneven. 1t should
be remembered that after the applica-
ton of top dressing of phosphate
fertilizer, say at the rate of about three
hundred pounds to the acre, it should
be done before the first rolling in the
spring, and then the one rolling will be
enough for the occasion.

mas peen experienced IN having IL re-
moved. but once removed it was found
to be of such an adamant nature that
nothing could be found that was capa-
BILE of crushing it so it could be remelt-
ed. After two weeks of arduous labor
twenty tons of the metal were loaded on
ponderous cars and conveyed to point
one mile west of the Grand Trunk road,
and a time set for crushing it. Several
representatives of the steel companies
and few citizens were invited to be
on hand to witness the trial, and it must
be said that the results were of q most
satisfactory character to all interested.
On arriving on the ground pit twenty
feet in circumference was exposed to
view, and in the pit was placed the
twenty tons of iron. A drill composed
of steel, operated by twelve horse
power engine, was used to bore an ORR
flee into The iron, in which the dynamite
cartridge was subsequently Inserted
Several bars of iron, weighing tons
each, were placed over the pit in order
to prevent small pieces of the metal
from flying heavenward. The cart
ridge was connected with battery sta
toned one hundred feet from the pit,
and after the spectators had found Sc
cluded places the word was given, and
in an instant the twenty tons of iron
that had previously stood all kinds of
hammering, was reduced to fragments.
The steel men were completely sur
prised, and admitted that feat was
performed that before was held impossi-

Louis OF Bavaria. Most BOOKS IN ms
country are printed in quarto form, and
the king, for some reason, objects to
reading them; hence he has ordered
that for his own use octave editions
shall be printed. But it so happens that
the law provides that only one octave
copy of n book shall be struck off.
Therefore, q single octave must be made
to please the king. Another story is
this: One night, not long ago, at late
hour his Majesty sent for certain hotel
employee that was noted for his knowl-
edge of languages to be brought into
his august presence. What was the
young mans surprise to find himself
raised to place at court may be i'm
agined-a place it was which usually
falls to men who have grown gray in
the service of the king. Louis. in adj
dition, presented him with diamond
breastpin and ring.
There is good deal of indignation
in San Francisco about the brutal treat
ment of soldier belonging to the gar
rison on the island of Alcatrez, who had
the temerity to offer young lieuten-
ant an explanation of fight that had
occurred several days previously. The
lieutenant refused to hear him, and,
when the soldier persisted, lost his tenn
per at what he considered impertinence,
and had the man bound and gagged and
cast into dark, damp and dirty cell
two and half feet wide and seven feet
long, where he was kept confined four
teen days and nights without being per-
mitted to change his clothes or even to
wash himself. His sole food was dry
bread, which was handed to him twice
day, and three times day he receiv-
ed water, and his bed was the bare
damp boards of the floor. His hands
were chained, and when suffering ex-
torted groans from him he was gagged.
All this torture was inflicted without
trial or sentence of any military authori-
ty. This is almost as bad as some of
the instances of hideous brutality that
have occurred in the armies of Ger
many and Austria. y,

Grasses for Decoration.

Fine grasses are seldom found upon
dry soil, but in meadows and unwood-
ed swales the seeker will find them in
infinite variety.
Other desirable water-loving plants,
much pretticr for drying than the fash
ionable cat-tail, also abound in such 10
calities. Some of the daintiest orna-
ments of ladies' bonnets are culled
from these neglected wastes. As taste
will be the guide in selection, it is not
necessary to particularize varieties.
For the time of gathering it is impos-
sible to give dates, but grasses and their
kindred should be cut while in the bud,
short time before the blossom opens
if later, they are apt to ''fuzz'' or rattle
off.
For treatment, cut the stalks of the
desired length, and clean off blades or
leaves. Place the heads together and
tie in punches of q size that will dry
readily. Hang in the shade till dry.
Wheat, oats, barley and rye are also
beautiful. believe they should be cut
while in the white stage of development,
which comes between the green and yell
low. Experience has shown me that
they work well at this age, at least.
Treatment the same as for grasses.
The one defect of all dried grasses is
their loss of color. In measure, grains
also have this fault. Some water plants,
like cattail, dry to rich golden brown,
but dried grasses have dingy, wash
out appearance, which can only be REM
edied by dyeing or bleaching. They are
dyed by florists in all brilliant colors,
but refined taste seems to dictate that
the original bronze, gold or green be re-
stored. The process is simple, and per-
formed with aniline dyes, which are for
sale in various forms. Leaman's liquid
dyes are highly recommended and east
ly used. Full directions come with each
bottle, and where they are sold, a
pamphlet giving further particulars will
be furnished at request. For those who
do not possess the skill of florists in
shaping by steaming and manipulation,
it is well to place the grasses or oats in
an upright or leaning position while
drying after dyeing to avoid the stiff
look of perfectly erect stalk. Indeed
if the grasses are not to be dyed, it is
well to dry them in some such position
at first.
For arrangement there are few pref
tier things than the little grass or grain
trimmed baskets; called baskets, though
they are in the form of anything else as
well. Designs for everything of this
kind, both trimmed and untrimmed,
may be readily found. If the baskets
cannot be obtained, delicate willow bas-
kets, willow ware, toys such as chairs,
cradles, etc., may be utilized for the
purpose. Outing.

Domestic Recipes.

Perfection Cake. - Three cups of
sugar, one of butter, one of milk, three
of flour, one of corn starch, white of
twelve eggs beaten to stiff froth, two
teaspoOnfuls of cream tartar in the flour
and one of soda in half the milk; dis
solve the corn starch in the rest of the
milk, and add it to the sugar and butter
well beaten together; then the milk and
soda and the flour and whites of eggs.
This cake comes nearer perfection than
any other yet discovered.
Roast Loin of Veal.-Wash and rub
thoroughly with salt and pepper, leav-
ing in the kidney, around which put
plenty of salt; roll up; let stand two
hours; in the meantime make dressing
of bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and
chopped parsley or thyme, moistened
with little hot water and butter-some
prefer chopped salt pork-also add an
egg. Unroll the veal, put the dressing
well around the kidney, fold and secure
well with several yards of white cotton
Irvine, covering the meat in all direc-
tons; place in the dripping-pan with
the thick side down; put to bake in a
rather hot oven, graduating it to mod
crate heat afterward; in half an hour
add q little hot water to the pan, haste
often; in another half hour turn over
the roast, and when nearly done dredge
lightly with flour, and haste with melt
ed butter. Before serving, carefully
remove the Irvine. A four-pound roast
thus prepared will bake tender in about
two hours. To make the gravy, skim
off fat, if there is too much in the drip
pings; dredge some flour in the pan, stir
until it browns, add some hot water if
necessary, boil a few moments, and
serve in gravy-boat. This roast is very
nice to slice down cold for Sunday lunch
cons. Serve with green peas and lemon
jelly.
Oranged Strawberries. -Place layer
of Strawberries in deep dish; cover the
same thickly with pulverized sugar;
then layer of berries, and so on until all
are used. Pour over them orange juice
in the proportion of three oranges to
the quart of berries. Let stand for an
hour, and just before serving sprinkle
with pounded ice. Some use claret,
port, grape, or currant wine instead of
orange juice.
Strawberries with Whipped Cream
ITepdre III layers Us ABOVE. lake one
pint of cream, white of three eggs, and
a teacup of powdered sugar, whipped
together, favored with strawberry juice,
and pour over the top.
To Keep Pineapples.-Pare and cut
out the eyes of ripe pineapple; strip
all the pulp from the core with silver
fork; to pint of this add pound of
granulated sugar; stir occasionally I'M
til the sugar is dissolved; put in glass
fruit cans, and turn down the covers as
closely as possible. This will keep q
long time.
BoilingCabbage. Talking of cabbage,
Mrs. Reeve tells us that we can get rid
of the abominable smell of cabbage
boiling by putting in the water piece
of bread-crumb tied up in fine white
rag.
Boiling Water.--When water has
once been made to boil, the fire may be
very much lessened, as but little heat is
required to keep it at boiling point.
There is no advantage whatever in
making water boil furiously; the heat
will escape in steam without raising the
heat of the water.

About as complete an innovation as
has ever occurred in the scientific world,
and one that will hereafter supply a
long-felt necessity, was aptly introduced
recently at point ten miles from Chi
cago, the novelty being no less than the
breaking of twenty tons of iron by the
use of dynamite. The experiment has
long been under consideration by q
large number of iron manufacturers,
notably the Union Iron and Joliet Steel
Companies. 1t has long been con-
lecture by those parties whether the
theories advanced by Judge Tearney
and Prof. j. G. Cochrane were worth
testing, but as both companies have sew
eral hundred tons of rolls, skulls, and
salamanders which have accumulated
in their business for the past several
years, it was decided to give the scien-
lists an opportunity to test their explo-
sive. Heretofore the metal named has
been complete loss after once having
accumulated in the furnaces, and as a
result the companies have lost several
thousand dollars annually. No trouble
