Model California Girl.

Much has been said and written about
the average young California woman,
who delights only in novel reading and
piano-playing, and detests housework in
all its forms, believing that no one
should work in the kitchen and over the
washboard but Cinnamon. But Chico
boasts of young lady who is really a
Jewel, and who counts her admirers by
the dozen. just now she is worth about
81 900, all made by her own industry
The greater portion of this has been
made by close attention to her business,
that of chicken raising.
Ranged about h,r grounds are large
chick ca. coops, and hundreds of little
chicks may be seenrunning about. The
vast broods are fed and otherwise cared
for by the young lady, and she has plen-
ty of spare time besides. During her
leisure moments she either reads some
substantial book or sews upon dresses
for herself or makes clothing for her
little brothers and sisters. This fall, al
ter she disposes of her chickens, she pro
poses to invest portion of her money in
land for the purpose of starting poul-
try ranch on an extensive scale. She is
not one of those pale-faced, languid, but
terAy sort of girls, but fair and ieshy,
and big bonanza for the fellow that is
lucky enough to capture her.-BHtte Re-

SOME Of our local savants are endeav-
oring to account for the recent heavy
rains on the theory that during the past
two years the ground has been more
generally cultivated aud vegetation in.
creased, SO that evaporation has aug
mented, and that we are experiencing a
change Of climate in the way Of greater
rainfall, that will be permanent. We
do not think there is much in this. The
telegraph gave us news of this rain at
San Francisco twenty-four hours before
1t reached here. II was not local in ila
character. According to accounts over
in the San joaquin valley, where there
is comparatively bnt small portion Of
the soil cultivated. the rainfall was
greater, even, than with NJ, reaching
about two inches. Cultivation Of the
soil may tend to increase the rainfall, in
q general way, but it evidently had little
TO do with this unseasonable rain, which
has come to us from the far north. and
spread over the entire State.

Percentograph.

The inventor is rapidly reaching out
into the domain of science in the exercise
Of his peculiar genius. He has already
produced several mechanical devices to
act as a substitute for thought and men
tai labor. The latest which has come
under our notice is an instrument called
percsntograph, which has been patent
ed by S. j. Tucker, of Richmond, Va,
and which is intended TO be used for cal
lating the percentages and amounts of
revenue due each road which freight is
shipped. 1t is claimed for the instru-
ment that it will do the calculation in
about one.lifth the time it requires by
ordinary clerical work.

How to Cook.

There comes time in every little
girls life when she is seized with long
ing to cook; by all means indulge her
Do not wait until she is a young lady
and then send her to a cooking school
to learn how to make a pudding or cake
what she might have learned in the
kitchen at home, and been happy in
learning. A neighbor of mine who put
this theory in practice presented me
with a plate of cookies made by her
daughter of five; they would have been
creditable to much older cook. The
child faithfully and delightedly followed
the mothers instructions. If some
older member of the family superintends
but does not lend helping hand a
good deal of valuable knowledge will be
acquired in this way Let them begin
with something very simple; try, for in
stance, this rule for crackers: To three
pints of hour put one teaspoonful Of
soda, dissolve in sour milk; melt table
spoonful of butter or of butter and lard
mixed; make the dough very stiff; roll it
very thin; bake slowly.-Nno York
