She Cost Her Weight in Gold,

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican
lady, now residing at American Flag,
in the Santa Catilina mountains, is
perhaps the only woman who, literally
speaking, ever cost her husband her
weight in gold. 1t is said that in the
early gold-digging days of California
she was a resident of Sonora, in which
state she was born and grew to
womanhood. When about the age of
II a paternal uncle, but a few years
her senior. returned with his COM
panions, gold laden, from the Ell
Dorado of the west, and became des-
perately enamored of her. He sought
her hand in marriage and was accept
ed, but the church refused, because of
the rear relationship existing between
them, to solemnize the marriage.
Persuasion being in vain, he tried
the power OF gold to win the church
his way, and succeeded only by the
payment of her weight in gold. She
at that time weighed III pounds, and
against her in the scales glittering dust
was shoveled. Her atfianced husband
still had sufficient of this worlds
goods to provide Il comfortable home,
and they were married. They lived
happily together. and she bore to her
husband eleven children. In the
course of years he died, and she mar
ried again, Mr.. Castro being her Sec
ond husband. The above is a fact and
not fiction, as living witnesses can
prove.-IucS0n Star.

story. ''who is very sagacious. One
morning he watched intently while a
negro boy BACKED my shoes. The fol-
lowing morning he came to where I
was sitting with a blacking brush in
his mouth. You may not believe it,
but that dog got down on his launches,
spit on my shoes, took the brush in his
teeth and rubbed away like a house on
fire. But l must admit that he did not
get up much of apolish. One Sunday,
while l was living at Sedalia, this dog
followed me to church. | noticed that
he watched every movement of the
preacher. That afternoon I heard a
terrible bowling of dogs in my back
yard. l went out to see what was the
matter. My dog was in the woodshed,
standing or his hind legs in an old

almanac with one fore paw and gesti.

swayed his head and howled to an

Average Annual Cost of Living.

How many persons have even a
rough idea of tile average sum upon
which by far the larger part of the citi-
zens of the United States are fed, cloth
ed and housed? A recent statistician
estimates that eighty per cent of the
population of this country is supported
by from forty-tive to fifty cents per
capita q day. At the latter figure this
makes S164.25 as the average annual
cost of living; but as by average we
mean the balance between extremes,
there must be many persons who have
not even this sun to live upon. That
fifty cents a day is a generous esti-
mate will be admitted when it is re-
membered that many mill operatives
earn only from five to seven dollars a
week, and that the wages of farm
hands run from twenty to thirty dol
lars a month, and that on these sums
several persons are often supported.
When it is remembered, too, that some
other human beings have a yearly i'll
come equal to what is necessary for
the subsistence of 500 or 1000 of these
average mortals, the startling con-
trast between the extremes of our
modern society must be most evident.

Why are Onions Difficult to Raises

Many of our readers seem to have
trouble in raising onions from seed.
The seed will grow, and so do the on
ions, but they do not form bulbs.
They produce thick necks and keep
green and growing until cut down by
frost. Many think this is due to eli
mate. Possibly this is so, but in many
cases the trouble is more likely to be
due to some of the following causes
namely: Poor seed, poor land, late
sowing and weeds. By poor seed we
do not mean seed that will not grow,
but ill-bred seed, seed grown from a
crop of onions, the best of which have
been sold and those not good enough
to sell, planted for seed! A scallion-
lsh onion, or one with Il small bulb and
q thick, immature neck, will produce
quite as much and quite as good-loo
ing seed as the best formed bulb-in
fact more seed and better looking seed.
Seed grown from scallions, or from
t~hick-necked onions will be very sure
to produce scallions. We can row
down stream faster than we can pull
up against the current. The onion
has been brought to perfection by high
feeding and careful selection, and if
we would maintain what we have
gained, we must continue our efforts,
but must not select the poorest onions
to breed from. BY poor land. we do
not mea land that will not produce a
good crop of corn or wheat or pota-
toes or grass. Land might be too rich
for wheat, but not rich enough for on
ions. This same land might, without
any manure, become rich enough for
onious. We know low mucky land
where onions arc successfully grown
year after year without manure, but
which at first produced a very poor
crop. 1t needed the thorough tillage
and freedom from weeds which all
onion growers find SO essential. Onion
seed should be sown the moment the
frost is out of the surface soil. The
land should have been made ready the
autumn previous. If this is not Gone
and you have to get the land ready in
the spring, you may get a fair crop of
onions, but hardly expect a full
yield, Even if everything else is fav-
orahle, if the onion patch is not kept
free from weeds, you will be pretty
certain of getting a liberal sprinkling
of scalllons. To a certain extent, rich
land and freedom from weeds have the
same effect: both are favorable to rap
id growth. Onion roots spread out
very little on the surface; they strike
straight down. This is probably why
land that has been thoroughly titled or
heavily MANFRED for years is best for
onions. The fertility has had time to
get down towards the subsoil.-Amey-

WHERE STYLES COME FROM.
Interview With a Man Who Gets Up Mems
FashiOn.PlateS.

FdSukOl.f lhIt6s H"
1--WE are always on the lookout for
something new" says a writer in The
american Tailor. "Sometimes we get
a suggestion or hint from a tailor or
other person, and will work on it until
we produce something acceptable.
After getting suggestions from tailors
and others, and considering them.
perhaps getting the views of q lady,
we go off and do as many newspaper
men do, .act as we please 1t is we'll
enough to get the ideas Of others, but
when we come down to work we have
to boss the job and use our own ideas.
1t is one OF those businesses in which
there is no well-defined method as to
ORIGINATING styles. Observation and
| study are required. Formerly chang
| es were made in February Tor spring
and summer styles, and in August for
fall and winter, and the greatest
changes are still made at these peri
DDS. The trade for the ten years
at least, has, however, not been con-
tent with but two plates per year, and
must now have them quarterly, many
of the foremost demanding them
monthly. The great changes are IN
the spring and fall, however, and the
others are notifications or improve
ments on them, not radical changes.
The business of making style has in
creased greatly within the past few
years, and there are Il number at it,
but the bulk of it is done by two or
three houses. Of course, there are not
so much change in style demanded by
gentlemen rs by ladies. No, we do
not get up any styles for particular
sections of the country. When we
publish the plates they are sent to ev-
cry portion of the country, and m
times it is found that n style will
become popular in one section and an
other in an other section, but, as a
rule, the tastes are as much different
in one section as another. There are
about $4,000 merchant tailors of stand
ing in the country-those who keep a
stock and are fully up to the times,
having the best goods-and with these
the fashion magazines have come to
be as essential as the newspaper. Such
progress have we made that even
Europeans are adopting our patterns.
Formerly the representative merchant
tailor might be said to be a son of poor
parents, receiving pattern-plates twice
a year, and being fullysatislied. Now,
however, the merchant tailor is not
content with ever the quarterly plates
issued, and it is surprising those of
other countries. They are now ever
alive for something new, to have not
only the latest improvements in tools
and ~conveniences for their business.
Some were content a few years ago
with modest u~nassuming places of
business, but now the merchant tailor
has as fine an establishment as any
tradesman."
