Renutv I'm the Kitchen.

The day after the ball at McKinney's,
says the Carson Appeal, the Chinese cook
raised q row about the extra work and Mo-
Kinney threw one OF them through q win
dow. All the Chinese help left the place
and the young lady guests volunteered to
run the kitchen and wait on the table just
for q lark.
As a result the guests at the resort
found themselves waited on by the fashion
and beauty OF the Bay, and several gradu-
ates of Professor Blot's cooking school OF
San Francisco, dishing up the meals. The
novelty Is proving q great attraction.

LAND GRABBERs.
Millions of Acres Illegally Fenced
by Cattle Raisers.


by Cattle Kaisers.
Documents laid before the Committed
on Public Lands in the last Congress
showed that in Colorado alone two for
eign companies had fenced in more than q
million acres each OF the public lands. In
the same State II. H. Metcalf and j. W.
Prowers, according TO q letter of Secretary
Teller, had fenced in 200, 900 acres each;
the Lewesey Brothers, 100000; Mcdaniel
d Davis, $4,000; e. G. Jayne, Vrooman
" McFife, and the Reynolds Cattle Com
pany, 5 10000 each; J. W. Frank, Routchler
y Lamb. and Beatty Brothers, 40, 900 each.
Garnett q Langford, and Chick, Brown d.
Co., 30, 900; and so on with less rapacious
squstters. In Nebraska the Brighton
Ranch occupied 125, 900 acres and the
Kennebec from 10000 TO $4,000;
Coe d Carter he'd up fifty miles
OF fence; j. W. Wilson, forty; j.
W. Bosler, twenty. In Nevada W. Hum
phrey had put up 80 miles Of fence, and
Nelson Il Son %. In Kansas great tracts
were fenced in. In Wyoming more than o
hundred companies had made illegal in
closures. Dakota showed the same reck-
less trespassing, and in New Mexico were
the Dubuque, Cimarron and Renello
Companies and others, with very large in
closures, one Of which was declared dur
ing a debate in Congress to be 80 miles
square.
Attempting TO draw up approximate sta
tistics of illegal fencings that had been re-
ported to him, the late Land Commits
sioner found them TO include 2,800. 900
acres in Colorado, 1900, 900 in New Mex
leo, 300. 900 in Nebraska, Csc, 900 in Wyom-
ing, 200, 600 In Kansas, 6 $4,000 in Nevada,
and an unknown acreage in Montana and
other Territories.

A HUSBAND AND MILLIONAIRE.

In 1868, Capt. John G. Garter, United
States Navy, was in charge of the Light
house Department of the Pacific Coast,
and was sitting in his coy office on
Montgomery street, enjoying his morn
ing pipe, when gentleman entered in
a hurry. confused and excited.
Commodore! have you Il cutter, a
steam launch or a small-sized frigate,
shat | can get to the Sandwich islands,"
said the visitor, approaching the old
Southern gentleman and looking him in
the eye.
The Captain, who was a genuine gen
tleman, one of the First Families of
Virginia, and appreciated a joke as
we'll as the next one, thought his visitor
was joking, and said:
Il can get you a Chinese junk, if that
will suit yOu!'

Candy.

a New York reporter makes the fol-
lowing revelations concerning the man
ufacture of candy: Candies that are
nodded, such as peppermints and gum
drops, or jellydrOps, are poured into
imprints made in cornstarch, which is
easily busted off. Nougat is made with
white sugar, pure gum Arabic, the
whites of eggs beaten, and chopped al
monds, Pingoi nuts, or pistache. Nou-
cat has to be boiled long time, and is
constantly stirred by machinery. Some
candies are made in few hours, while
it takes a week to make sugared or
burned almonds. Marrons glaces re-
quire a certain manipulation and to be
long submerged in sirups, kept at a Ger
tain temperature, to become thoroughly
favored. The vegetables used in col
oring are particularly juicy beet that
supplies the reds and pinks, lettuce and
spinach for greens, carrot for yellows;
coffee and maple sugar are used for
browns. The ''Estelle" bonbon, made
of apricot and marshmallow, is the last
thing in soft or French candy; while
..curls,' or ''opera favors,n which are
twisted sticks favored with acid fruits,
and cut into small pieces, are the Christ

'.Strings, which are but ships of choc-
olate and cinnamon hard candy, are

DE YOUNG AND HIS BLONDE.

Charles De Young. who was shot by
young Kalloch in 1880, was singularly
affected by the appearance of blonde
woman, especially if she wore glasses.
He kept this fact from his family, and
even his brother Michael, who was re-
Gently wounded by young Adolph
Spreckels was not aware of the fact at
Che time of the shooting of his brother
Charles De Young, in 1871, was pass
ing the Labor Exchange, and had turn
ed into California street. 1t was just
dusk. A young woman, with blonde
hair and glasses, stopped him.
''Are you superstitious?" she inquired,
her eyes flashing and in excitement.
De Young, who was naturally brave
man, replied, although a little nervous
at this interruption:
mo, why?"
Because there is a curse hanging to
you for sending Halpin to an untimely
grave, and | am going to follow you to
the end OF the earth. y
Halpin was a forger who had COM
mitted suicide, and De Young had a
strange presentiment after meeting this
woman that great evil was to befall
him, and he never saw a blonde with
glasses that he did not scrutinize her
keenly to see if she was his promised
Nemesis

RepOse in Conversation.

The leading quality to be cultivated,
if you would have an agreeable manner
in conversation, is repose. If you are
restless and vehement you will be con-
sidered weak. SO you must not fdget
in your chair, nor run your fingers
through your hair, nor crack your fin
ger-joints, nor gesticulate like a cam
paign orator. All of these things are
in bad form and make people wish you
had sent regrets. You must avoid in
terrupting other takers, and learn to
control your temper, and say as little as
possible about yourself No matter
how bored you may be, assume the vir-
tue Of being interested, and look pleas
ant at any sacrifice of sincerity and
self-respect. Politeness exacts that you
do unto others at such times as YOU ex-
pect them to do unto you when your
turn comes. Your language should be
simple and terse, but clear and COM
prehensive, and free from slang. Do
not seek to shine as humoriSt unless
you are very confident that the COM
pany is an easy one to amuse; but if an
other person makes such . venture it is
your duty to laugh, even if his jokes
are so thin and flat that you long to
strangle him. The amenities Of social
conversation do not permit the intro
duction of political or religious topics,
for the reason that they can rarely be
discussed in a calm and kind spirit.

Tomatoes.

There are many tests Of the greatness
of our country. The tomato test is one
rot to be derided. Statistics published
by the special journals of the grocers'
trade show that the tomato pack" in
the United States for the year 1884 has
been 2.021, 1T cases containing 48, 508,-
248 cans.
This is enough to supply every man,
woman, and child in Great Britain and
Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Holland, and
Switzerland each with can of toma-
toes and have II, 567 cans left over.
Nevertheless, it has been poor year
for tomato packing. In 1888 there
were packed 2, 943. SO cases, containing
20, 545. 896 cans. This was enough to
supply. besides the inhabitants of the
countries above named, those also of
Denmark, Belgium, Portugal, Greece,
Roumania, and Servia each with a can,
and have 797, O89 cans left over toward
the necessities of Turkey.
Yet it is scarcely three-quarters of
century since the first tomato ever
grown in this country was raised from
seed that was brought from Italy and
planted in the garden of gentleman

Not From Father to Son.

The fatal fondness of many Ameri-
cans for large profits growing out of
their haste to get rich has had good
deal to do with the unsatisfactory con
dition of our export trade In some di-
rections. Complaints are frequently
made on this score by ConsulS in their
reports to the State Department. Con-
slgnmentS which do not come up to the
guaranteed standard of quality, and in
many eases instances of deliberate
fraud. have caused serious losses to IN
nocent parties and unsettled confidence
IN the business integrity of American
shippers.
1t Is probable that the average of
commercial morality is as high here as
anywhere on earth, but the prevalent
ambition to acquire sudden wealth. and
the idea entertained by many YOUNG
men that business career is to be used
only to that end and then abandoned
have naturally resulted in numerous
dishonest practices in foreign trade
which have reacted upon the country at
large
In England and Continental Europe
the manufacture of certain articles has
been carried on BY certain families for
generations, and the good name ac-
CURED represents the principal capital
employed. The original producer may
have perfected an article and gained a
worldwide reputation for fair dealing
and the excellence of his goods His
successors endeavor to maintain his
standards. SO that articles which we
purchase to-day, believing them to be
the best, may be precisely the same
things which under the same trade mark
were sold one or two hundred wears
ago. In this country such eases are

his business and his wealth to his sons.

generation, thinking more of luxury
than OF business honor or prosperity,
will soon sell out to some money-maker,
or will themselves run the business into
the ground through failure to observe
the same rules of success which made
their father rich and respected
On the other continent the mere pos
session of wealth is not sufficient rea-
son for the abandonment of business.
Here too many young men, made rich
through the Self-sacritice and toll of
their parents, fritter away in their eff
forts to enjoy their wealth business rep
utations which are worth more to them
than their fortunes. 1t is not the rule
in America for sons to succeed their
fathers in business even where the par
ent has been successful The money
gained by the older in an honorable
business career is usually Squandered or
subsisted upon by the would-be aristo-
cratic sons in idleness.
With nearly all manufacturing. mer-
camille or commercial business thus con-
fined to one generation it is almost in
eyitable that sharperS should gain pos
session and take advantage of reputa-
tons valuable to them only as they are
able to make money out of them. These
are some of the reasons why American
commercial integrity is sometimes ques-
toned abroad.-C Chicago Herald.

Lord Frederick Hamilton, recently
an attache of the British Legation at
Buenos Ayres, speaks very dispara pinolv
of the Argentine Republic. He says its
government is one of the very worst in
the world. There is the jargon but not
the reality of liberty, and Justice is
practically dead letter, going ip7ar-
iably to the side with the longest purse.
The Judges are openly bought, and
there is a state of tyranny notsurpassed
in despotic Russia.
The Mason cotton-picker is said to
be an entire success. Commissioners
appointed on behalf of the New Orleans
Exposition have followed the machine
in the field, and record their official
opinion that one picker, carefully
driven, drawn by one mule and followed
by three cleaners, will do the work of
forty pairs of human hands. The fly
ing metallic fingers pluck only the full
blown cotton. The plants are uniniured.
The fiber thus plucked is automatically
bagged.
In Northern Siberia, if a young ma
tive desires to marry, he goes to the
father of the girl of his choice and
price is agreed upon, one-half of which
is then paid down. The prospective
son-in-law at once takes up his resi-
dence with the family of his lady love,
and resides with them year. If at the
end of year he still desires to marry
the girl, he can pay the other half, and
they are married on the next visit of the
priest. If he does not want to marry
he need not, and simply loses the half
he paid at the start.
