THE YOSEMITE FALbs.

The New York Times copies from
the CormhM Wagazine the following
description of Yosemite Falls: The
width of the stream at the summit is
about &c to 80 feet, but at the base
of The upper fall it has expanded to a
width of fully 800 feet; and, as the
wind carries it to one side or the
other it plays over space of about a
thousand feet in width of a precipi-
,ous rock face. 1900 feet in depth.
This is the height of the upper fall.
AS seen from below, the Yosemite,
though divided into three distinct
falls, apparently all on one plane. 1t
is only when you reach some point
from which you see it sideways that
you realize that the great upper fall
lies fully quarter of mile further
back than the middle and lower falls,
and that it rushes down this space in
boiling cascades till it reaches a per-
pendicular rock, over which it leaps
about 600 feet, and then gives a
third and final plunge Of about 500,
making up total of a little under
2,7oo- Now, if you can realize tina,
the height ofNiagara is 1872, you will
perceive that if some potent magician
could bring it into the valley it
would be efectually concealed by
trees of fully its own hight, many far
overlapping it. Niagara, of course.
makes up in width what she lacks in
hight. The Horseshoe or Canadian
Fall is about $50 feet. The width
is 2,loo feet. The American Fail is
about 16o feet in height and LOO in
in width. The total width, inclusive
Of Goat Island, is 1920 feet.

CAT MEAL.

The use of oat meal, says the
American Cultivator, is largely on
the increase in our large cities and
towns, yet it is not SO extensively
consumed in this country as in many
of the European countries. The
grain is very rich in gluten and fat,
and contains good quantity of
starch and sugar, being everywhere
recognized as a valuable food. 1t
cannot be leavened into bread, but it
makes good cakes. In Scotland the
finer variety of oat meal is baked
:hin, but the coarser kind is made
into thick cakes called bannocks. In
Norway the common food of the
peasantry is thin cake, called ''fiad
brod." which is made OF ground oats,
husk and all, mixed with potatoes,
and baked on a griddle or frying pan.
A palatable dish is made in parts Of
Scotland by toasting oat meal before
bright fire, then mixing it with a
little beef or mutton fat, and after
seasoning it with pepper, salt and
onions chopped small, again toasting
it. The common method of cooking
it, however. in Scotland, is by STIR
ring it with boiling water until it has
the consistency of hasty pudding,
and in this manner Scotch brose is
made; but, if more diluted and boiled
for long time, it makes porridge.
In Ireland it is mixed with Indian
meal. and then stirred into boiling
water, thus making the mixture
called "stir about" Whey and milk

he dreamed again. And it seemed
to him IN a vision that having armed
himself with certain papers and books
he once more turned his steps toward
the palace and knocked at the gate.
"Hello, is that you again ?" said
Peter. "What do you wish ?''
"Let those persons again come
forth,' replied the editor, and this
time Peter made them all come

They came as before and uttered
the same cries as before.

"Why didn't you write up my
soda-fountain,'' cried the druggist.
"You had your tickets printed at

the local man.
"Why did you write about old
Tomlinson's hens and never speak of
my new gate ?" shouted the third.
"Old Tomlinson paid for his ad-
vertlsement and you did not. Here 5

"Why did you spell my name
wrong in the programme p" groaned
the local talent.
"Take look at this manuscript of
yours and see for yourself,' said the
editor with a grim smile.
The rest of the company yelled
their complaints in unison, and the
Editor calmly sorted out series o'
bills for unpaid subscriptions and
presented each with one; and it was
SO that when they received them
they all tore their hair and rushed
violently down steep place into the

TEE SWEET PEA.
fAmerican Florist and Farmer.)

There is no annual flower more
completely satisfactory for the farm
garden than the sweet pea. Its prom.
inent growth, its constant renewal of
abundant bloom up to the time of
severe frost, the variety and bright
ness and harmony of colors, the
sweet perfume and the long, firm
stem, so convenient for nosegay max
ing, give this fine old flower a first
rank. 1t grows six or seven feet
high, and is equally handsome in
pyramid or cone form as a single
clump, or in a row as a hedge or
screen, for which it is specially adapt
ed. 1t requires support, like other
tall peas, and some of the stakes
should reach TO its full hight. The
seed germinates more slowly and
should be planted either in the fall
or very early in the spring, and rath-
er deep. The only other special care
required is to use the flower freely so
that little or 10 seed may form to
exhaust the plants, and to water
copiously ouce a week. if drought
occurs. Clean culture by hoeing OF
mulching is a requirement.

IN MEMORY OF THE DEPARTED.

0 June 10th 1883 at the residence
of her sister Mrs. Nichola, Mary
Meats was called from this life to a
blessed Immortality.
But few days since this noble
hearted woman was in the full en-
joyment of those qualities Of heart
and mind that endeared her to all.
Death has claimed another victim
and society has lost a worthy aud
.honored member.
Mary Meats was born on the sth
day of May ls4l in Ellington Parish,
Herefordshire England. In Is47,
her parents, with their family con-
sisting of Mary, her tour sisters and
two brothers settled at Mt. Sterling,
Brown Co. III. AT an early age she
united unto the M. E. Church of
Clayton, Ill.,, and exemplified her
faith by consistent christian life.
In 1866 her brother John Rickard
visited his sisters in Ill.,, and the
same year Mary Meats and her sis
ter. now Mrs. Nichols accompanied
their brother John from ILL.,, to his
home four miles south Of Corvallis
From that time until June 10th 1883
Mary Meats has been the center of
her brothers home and has born the
responsibilities of her position with
such ability and energy as to merit
the admiration and respect of all.
She has been a mother to her broth.
er's children from infancy until death.
A noble woman has passed to the
other shore. She was true and
constant friend ever ready and will
ing to succor those in distress. A
peighbor honored and loved by all.
Her kindly words of encouragement
thrilled every heart. She died as
she Iived-a consistent christian.
Her remains were conveyed from
her brothers residence in Corvallis
followed by mourning friends to the
Masonic cemetery, where all that
was mortal of Mary Meats was con-
signed to it's kindred dust.

and then picked up her basket and
followed on after him. He had what
they called the dead wood on her.

son. Chess is developing very rap
idly in fields which were supposed
to have the best stand, and thous-
ands of acres of wheat are being
plowed up and put into corn. Here
again we witness the effects Of the
damage to wheat by the Hessian fly.
Similar reports have also been re-
ceived, but not to so great An extent,
from Missouri and Kansas. Ohio
and Indiana show no general i'm
provement in condition of their
wheat crop, and unusually cold
weather has kept the wheat very
backward in Michigan:
In Tennessee and Kentucky wheat
is in full head. The crop at present
gives no promise of anything like the
yield of 1882. Some of tue early
wheat will be harvested soon after
the first OF June. All, or nearly all,
OF the wheat III the more Southern
portion of the wheat belt will lie
harvested by the middle of June.
SPRING WHEAT AND OATS.
There have no conditions so far
developed which initiate against
these crops giving us an average, if
not a very full return. The acreage
of oats everywhere has been in
creased. The crop has now made a
fine stand, covers the ground well
and is growing finely. The spring
wheat is little backward, but has
made good stand, and at present
has very encouraging prospect be-
fore it..
June is nearly here and the plant
ing season is not yet finished.

Philadelphia has a good list of
lady milllonaires. Mrs. Thomas A.
Scott leads off, with at leas. SIG, o,ooo,--

near the top of thu ladder. Her hus-
bands personal estate was valued at
s5,5oo,o 900, and this, besides his other
investments, leaves the lady in pos
session OF an immense income. Mrs.
Anna w. Baird and Mrs. Matthew
Baldwin, sboth of whose husbands
were in the celebrated Baldwin Lo-
comotive Works, are worth s2,O0O,-
900 each. Mrs. Adolphe E. Borie is
assmillionare in her own right. When
the late George Fales died, his per-
sonal estate was worth over $2,oOO,-
900, and his wife and daughter di-
vided this as we'll as his other posses
sions. Two daughters of Henry
Rawle were left million each by
their mother, which is a good start
for young ladies, and is likely to
draw attention to them. One of the
lady attendants at the Church of the
Epiphany drives to the house OF
worship in modest carriage. Her
income $26o,0o0 a year. If men
make the money and women do
spend it, a list of the various chari-

it will do some good to others. Isn't
that so so?-Ph1adelphia Record.
