WHAT DOES 1T MEANT

The San Francisco ArgMs comes to hand
this week with double-page illustration
representing John w. Mackay sitting in his
Virginia City office and controlling the sub
marine cable telegraph lines of the world.
Behind him stands female figure, belted
with the name Nevada, who holds aloft
wreath which is tabled U. S. Senatorship.
To the right OF Nevada stands Uncle Sam,
who just in the act of Shaping John on the
back, as if to say: "Bully boy" or words
to that effect. On the right of the scene is
picture Of miner showing carload of ore
and on the left representation of the Neva-
da Block in San Francisco. Stretching out
in different directions are the wide spreading
plains and the boundless ocean, with lines OF
electric communication through each. Be-
low all is the legend, "Nevada's Choice"
The most natural question in the world is,
"Whas does it mean?' The Argus is not
the kind of paper to print John Mackay's
picture or anybody's picture for nothing.
Somebody had to put up for it. 1t would

whether he ordered the publication Of the

LEARNED BY EXPERIENCE.

Probably nothing has done this Coast more
good than the Grand Army Encampment at
San Francisco. 1t has given thousands OF
people in the East a chance to come here
and stop for a time-long enough to get some
idea of the country, and also to give them
something Of an insight to our interest. No
person in the East, who has never been in
California or Nevada, can be made to under
stand by explanation the true inwardness OF
the mining industry of the two States, nor
can they begin to comprehend the Chinese
question Many were the EXPLANATIONS of
surprise expressed by our visitors who visit
ed the Chinese quarters in San Francisco,
and not one we think was there who would
admit that it was not the foulest spot on the
face Of the earth. Now these people can go
back to their eastern homes and their stories
will be believed to great extent. Again
the visitors who stopped in Nevada and Wis
mining interest of this country are something
Of Importance. 1t has done the country
great good, surely, and one or two more such
gatherings on this Coast would disabuse the
eastern mind Of the idea that the Pacific
States ought not to have considerable to say
about the two most important questions OF
the day. They are the Silver Question and
the Chinese Question.

CONGRESSMAN WOODBURY..

Congressman Woodburn has returned from
Washington. He made one excellent speech
on the silver question. He assisted materi'
ally in getting the appropriation through for
the Carson Mint, served the State as one Of
several Nevada citizens in getting into the
appropriation bill clause granting $50, 900
for the survey of the State lands; in many
ways he has been especially attentive to the
wants of his constituents. He has record
in the 4eth Congress of which he need not
be ashamed. Mr.. Woodburn deserves to be,
and will be, renominated by aeclamtion by
the Republican Convention which meets in
Carson City, next Sept. 24th.-F,ee Lance.

THIS papers is in receipt Of the August
number of The REQUIRES Of California, a
paper published in San Francisco by J. P.
H. Wentworth. On the fifth page of the
paper is fine steel engr wing of ex-senator
Stewart, Of Carson, who is a candidate for
the position Of U. S. Senator. A page and
half is devoted to biographical sketch of
the gentleman's life from boyhood to the
present day. On the Senator's views Of the
silver question it has the following to say:
Mr.. Stewart has always been an advocate
OF the free coinage of silver, and opposed
to the scheme to contract the worlds money
by the destruction of one half of the metal.
lie currency in circulation. For more than
ten years past he has been contributing to
the literature of the country on that subject
by newspaper article, reviews, and pamph-
lets. pamphlet published by him last
November was circulated extensively in
every State in the Union, and became the
text and foundation of hundreds of articles
published throughout The country, many
newspapers publishing the pamphlet in full.
And in conclusion says:
Mr.. Stewart is now living in Carson City,
Nevada, praetcing his profession, and is
candidate for election to the United States
Senate. We believe il is for the interest of
the Pacific Coast and the whole country tina t
he should be reelected.

Practical Points Briefly Put,

A dripping pan of water on the up
per CRATE in the stove oven will pre-
vent cakes Or pies from burning.
The following is q good remedy Tor
burns: Mix four ounces of the yolk
of eggs with five ounces of pure glyc-
crime. This forms kind of varnish.
If your dishes must be washed IN
hard water, add a little milk to the
water and do without soap. Try this
and see it you don't like it.
Red flannel garments should be
washed before being worn. There is
a principle in the dye that renders the
goods irritable. if not actually poison
GUS to some tender skins. 1t might
be well to wash tt fam Ell in pieces,
and thus avoid any possible shrink
ing.
A nice breakfast dish can be made
of scraps of boiled ham. Chop them
very fine, and heat by throwing them
into hot frying pan. Beat two Or
more eggs, according to the quantity
of ham, and pour into hot, buttered
pan on the stove. When it is brown
on one side, spread the ham on one
half of it, and turn the other half over
it.
In putting away summer or winter
clothing for the season, label all pack
ages on the outside, and keep handy a
memorandum book with the contents
of each trunk, drawer or closet, speoi-
fed; it will prove q saver of time and
vexation. One often forgets where a
bundle of nittens, scarfs, etc., were
put, especially if the accustomed place
has been changed.
A farmer writes: AS the hog
cholera is SO prevalent Throughout the
country, I want to say that it need
never exist. It can be prevented.
Construct a long, deep trough, keep it
supplied with slack lime, with a
reasonable amount of salt, and attract
the hogs to it by stopping them there.
Ii this is kept up the hogs will never
have cholera, as saved mine (and
had several hundredD when my near
neighbors lost all they had. l would
not give dollar for an insurance if
had thousand, and if farmers will
pay attention to these suggestions hog
cholera will disappear forever.

The best food for the young chicks
at first is stale bread crumbs, moisten-
ed very slightly ia sweet milk. But
little corn meal should be fed until
they have become fully feathered, and
that should be well cooked We are
great advocates for making sweet
milk leading article of food for early
chicks after they are some weeks
along. Tt must never be allowed to
get sour, as this would disturb the di-
eestive organs, thing to be avoided,
If we would have broilers by aspara-
gus time. For variety some cracked
wheat, rice, oaten, grits, cottage
cheese, "etc, may occasionally be fed,
all of which are most excellent and
not so heating as corn meal.
No trouble is ever found in turning
early Matched chickens to a very
profitable account. For marketing
when weighing from two to four
pounds ger pair, they go off readily
at high rates, sometimes retailing at
$3.50 per pair in good markets. If
the prices are not too tempting, by
keeping the pullets through, they will
commence laying ia September, or
earlier, ard continue to do so right
through the winter with the most Or
binary fair treatment.

Origin of the Steel Pen.
Louisville Courier-Jourpal


This now indispensable article was
slowly perfected. and ''like most in
ventions thus perfected it's merits were
not at once acknowledged. When, in
1910, it first made its appearance in
England it Vas piece of sheet steel
bent in a tubular form, and cut OF
filed away to initiate the shape of
quill pen, the Injunction of the two
edges forming the nip, which, of
course, extended all up the back of
the pen. 1t was given away as
present, and not for use. It was high
ly polished, pehaps gilt or slvered,
and seld for as much as sniliings.
In 1924, Mr.. James Perry. the found
er of system of education once ia
nous as tie 'Perryan' system, took
up the steel pen as a practical inven-
ton, and by indomltable energy
overcame the difficulties in its con.
struction and the objections to its use
He patented several varieties, ana
spared no expense TO attain perfect
ion. His brother informed Mr..
Samuel Timmins of Birmingham,
England, that he paid z shillings per
pound for his steel, and 5 shillings
per pen to the first workmen he ern-
ployed, and that for years afterward
the price given to his workmen was

Raising Chickens In Winter.
Popular Gardener,

The desirability of Matching chick
object ahead is early broilers for mar
ket or eggs in winter, is not in ques-
ton. The matter of the best ways
and means 10 such ends, is the one
which deserves our best attention at
this season.
For tie earliest broods, the start at
Matching may be made at any time
now. As to the relative advantages
of Matching by hens or by incubators,
we shall only say that with judicious
action and close attention either
course may De successful for extra
early Matching. With hens, it is not
necessary that the nest boxes be IN
warm place, neither should they be in
a warm place, neither should they be
where it is cold. Not more than nine
eggs should be given to hens at this
season.
As soon as the chicks are out, a
special house or room mast be provid
ed. This should be arti6cially heated
to be comfortably warm. A coal
stove is better than a wood stove for
this purpose, because of the more uni
form heat possible with it. The floor
of the room should be kept covered
with dry soil or coal ashes, and the
utmost care should be paid to cleanli-
ness.
Where incubators are used, some
bens should also be set when the eggs
are started, with view to acting as
mothers to the otherwise motherless
chicks. This they will readily do. AS
many as from SO to 100 chicks may be
had to follow one hen; they will be
more contented with the clucking of
mother" to lead them.

FARM AND HOME.
IN THE OLD GRANGE GARDEN.
BY C. r. CREsPI.

We were in the old Grange garden
Where fierce dragons STOOD LOT warden
Meath the rose trees red Win blooms,
And the golden sunshine brightly
Drifted through the branches lightly,
Making gay the odorous glooms.
On the lawn a sUn-dial o!den
Caught the slanting sunbeams golden,
Which, with sweet and Softening grace,
With warm touches brightly tender,
Threw their strange alchemic splendor
Der the moss greened, time-Worn face.
You were hU1nming a love-ditty,
And you whispered, 30, the pity
That the roses fade so soonp
Q the glowing summer weather.
o the days when we together
Felt the world and life in tune.
Pushing back the branches trailing
All across the dial, and yelling
It's quaint legend from our sight
Read you in a voice of Scorning,
IF unclouded be loves morning,
Love will die at fall Of night"
Saying softly, roses casting,
Ger the words ''Our love is lasting,
Mocking words you speak, o, Dial
Know you not love born in pleasure,
Never fills its fullest measure,
Until darkness comes, and trial!
Sweet those days of summer brightness,
When our hearts eclpsed the lightness
OF the summer-hearted birds!
Dear, often wonder whether
You recall those days together,
With those days, o, love, your words!
When the glowing summer glory
Faded from our loves sweet story.
When around us fell the night,
You passed on, dear, careless-hearted,
Oh-'tis overl we are parted,
Yet love in loves despite.
When the futures veil was lifted,
Each had from the other drifted,
Down life's river, far apart;
Yet your face, with sweet persistence,
Shines across the dreary distance,
And lies folded in my hearth

WHAT Is THE HARVEST2

Newspaper readers sometimes idly wonder
what becomes of the actors in the social and
domestic dramas and tragedies that figure as
sensations of day and then, giving way to
newer matters of interest, are forgotten by the
public. There is, as matter of course, always
a sequel to the sensational events which dis
rupt families and throw communities in con-
vulsions of excitement but the vast majority
of persons who gain some knowledge of the
first occurrences learn nothing more. An
elopement with scandalous Accomplishments,
for instance, is followed by consequences far
reaching and often distressing, but the public
knows only the bare facts and is amused, dis
gusted or phiosophically unconcerned, as the
case may be- The actors are personages in
whom they take no personal interest, and
as to receive further attention from the
press are dismissed from mind. Some.
body does know these people init
mately, however. In each case of
this description limited. circle of friends
and acquaintance notes the after career of
sinner aud sinned against, and watches the
progress of affairs to what must inevitably be
bitter end for all concerned. A death an
nounced in the papers, during the past week,
of a lady once resident in indianapolis. will
call to mind a sensation of ten wears 400 in
which she was brought before the public as
the innocent and injured wife of man we'll
known, and of previous high standing, who
had suddenly left for parts unknown in com
pany with young woman, herself wife and
member of his family. Such affairs are
common enough, unhappily, and there was
nothing about this to distinguish it from a
thousand others. 1t was simply a vulgar
clopement, and after nine DAYS wonder
that man of high character should
80 ruin himself and shame his family
for the sake OF a pretty face, the circum-
stances were forgotten. A few people did not
forget 50 easily. The friends of the deserted
wife knew although she bore brave face.
that her sufferings were moro bitter than
death. She had loved her husband with
wifes thorough affection sad perfect trust
