A beautiful Sight.
The American Rural Home.

The American Rural Home.
A few years ago l was teaching in a
small village, and from one family l
had six scholars, the Oldest twelve
years and the youngest four years of
age. The family consisted of the fa-
Their, mother, and eight children. The
father was one OF the finest looking
men l ever saw; he was fully six feet
tall and finely formed; the mother
was-a frail, delicate woman, and very
pretty and looked like q child. One
would never have taken her for the
mother ofeight children. Icalled there
n evening just as the mother was
getting her little flock ready for bed;
each child helped the next youngest.
The mother sat in a low rockingham.
and assisted the little ones, and held
on her lap the baby not quite one
year old. Then the five little ones
gathered around the mother and
knelt down with folded hands, and
each, commencing with the eld-
est, said their prayers. and the
little babe kept it's little hands
folded, and when each had finished
their prayers, the mother, holding the
little babes hands together, repeated
the prayer, and the little one tried to
say it with cooling sound. Then each
child kissed the mother and babe, said
good night and then kissed each other
and went to bed.
l think it was the prettiest sight I
ever saw. That mother was a Chris
tian, having been converted at the age
Of six years, and had ever since lived
q pure, Christian life. Thought as l
looked on that little group,-could
any harm ever come to that little
flock, walled in by such a mothers
prayers? l have known the family
ever since and have never krowr. a
cross or unkind word 10 pass between
them. The boys, grown to ta men,
arr not ashamed to be seen kissing
their mother goodnight. How many
of the household. and readers of this
paper, are training their children in
the path OF righteousness? "Trainu up
q child in the way he should go; and
when he is old, he willnotdepart from
it,"

"Oh, please stop, Mr.. Beauchamp!
We want to know where Owen is. And
-and-I beg pardon for startling you
SO; U you need nothavepassed me-"
Nab was stammering sadly in her
confusion, but it was the sudden look
OF Joy In Ned's eyes that made her
trip over her words. And why had he
caught hold Of her hands in that
quick, excited way?
ooh. Nab, is it really you! And
why did your sister say you had not

false. | thought-oh! I cannot tell
you how mad and unhappy l felt
and you were here all the time, my
darling"
Well, it was good of Uncle Powell to
stand with his back to them so long,
feeling the periwinkle leaves, when
they had so much to tell leach other.
Nab cried again a little as she poured
her story into Ned's ear-her despair
when they had driven away and left
her-her sorrow at having leased him
her terror lest he should have mis-.
construed her absence-the beneficent
comforter in the person of Uncle
Powell.
Never mind, my Faerie Queene,"
Ned had said, comforting her. II

There was a weary and somewhat
silent little party in OWENS rooms.
MIR; Iempleton was yawning visibly,
and Aunt Selma was cross. Pauline
and Violet looked bored and a little
offended. Owen had asked none OF
his friends to meet them; he was tax.

fellow, l wonder why he does not turn

Yes, there were footsteps. Ned's face
appeared at the door smiling and IA

"Owen, old fellow, Ihave brought
you some VISITORS" he said, joyously;
and at that moment a little figure i n a
gray dress darted forward, and rushed
up to the astonished Owen.

rom the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
We hear a great deal Of the rights
OF Indians, and the duty OF the coun-
try to them. But is it one OF the
rights OF these wealthy people to be
paupers? They ought to be educat-
ed-certainly. They oughtto becivil-
lied and Christianized-of course.
Everybody agrees to that. The ques-
ton Is, ought they, by far the wealth.
lest 1000 people in the world, to
b~eeducated, civilized and Christianized
at the expense OF u body of taxpayers
who are not nearly as well off as they
are themselves? Valuing their
1874, OOO, 900 acres OF land at only 81
per acre-andmuch Oft is worth from
$50 to $50 per acre-and counting
onlyfour to afamily ,the65, 900 Indian
families are worth-land, annuities
and personal property-at least 50,
4O0Der family. Now, there are by the
last census somewhat over $4,000
farms i'll Kansas valued at n little
e 1928, 600, 600, an average ofonly
about $l,1OO for each Kansas farmer.
let the farmers OF Kansas not only
pay for their w schools, churches,
roads and other means Of clvilization,
but they pay their share OF the debt
and the expenses of the federal and
their W State Governments; and
besides, every year their share of the
cost OF feeding, clothing, doctoring,
educating civilizing and managing the
Indians, who are at least fifty per
cent richer in property than them
selves, and who pay no taxes what
ever, and are paid by the Govern
ment even for policing themselves.
Congress ought to look this In
dian business in the face. These
people should be educated and ~civiliz-
ed, but at their own expense. The
present systemis lniquitous, and there
is no excuse FORTS continuance.

Tomatoes as Food.

1t is known that the essence Of to-
mato made into a pill acts on the
liver, and to that extent must coun-
teract biiiousness and all forms of
fever. The free use of figs is known to
multidudes to obviate constipation in
a great many cases. Every intelligent
druggist knows that a teaspoonful Of
white mustard seed swallowed without
chewing is useful in the standardization,
has been used for that purpose for a
century, and for that reason is kept
in every good drugstore for sale. The
seeds pass from the stomach unchang-
ed, but are supposed to act on the
bowels delicately. The seeds OF the
tomato act in the same manner;
hence the fruit, while it is palatable to
the taste and nutritious to the body,
has a health-promoting effect on the
liver and the whole digestive system.

How to MAX. Stylish Aprons.


Pretty, dressy aprons that have
been fashionable torso many years are
again brought forward among the
dainty accessories in our furnishing
stores.
Fancy aprons for ladies' morning
wear are growing more and more
elaborate. Fine scrim is used very
generally for this purpose, and they
are decorated most deliberately with
ribbons and cross-stitch embroidery.
Such aprons may be bought all ready
made at the decorative art stores, or
they may make pretty fancy work.
A dressy apron is made of heavy
white lace insertion alternating with
strips OF colored cambria. The cam
brio strip is of the same width as the
lace, and the two are joinedby having
the edge of the goods rolled and the
edge overseamed. The new crinkled
seersuckers, combined with strips of
Russian lace insertion, is exceedingly
pretty.
A novel style OF apron is in ecru
batiste. 1t is plainly hemmed at the
bottom and laid the entire length in
broad box plaits. These plaits are
covered half way down with embroid-
cry or colored laces, and finished with
points at the lowerend, thecenter piece
being the longest, the sides growing
short in proportion. There are seven
large trimmed plaits.
A new apron is made by taking q
half, breadth OF lawn and set on each
side an embroidered houncinu eighteen
inches deep. A fall OF narrowere dging
is set on the bottom OF the apron.
After this is done fold the whole ma
terial into q large double box plait,
wrong side out, and then put on the
band. Narrower tlouncing may be
used for the sides, but the effect is bet
ter if It is wide. No pockets are made
on the new-style aprons, and they are
either finished with a button at the
back, or long wide sash ends to betied
with a bow.
One pretty-style of apron is madeo
a plain width Of coarse ecru scrim. the
bottom trimmed with Russian lace.
Above the hem is a band OF drawn
work, and over this is a Russian pat
tern in embroidery in dark green. red,
and orange. A broader band Of en-
broidery and drawn work is across
the middle OF the apron. Tue top is
sloped out in front and put on an en-
broidered band without fullness, and
that part that will not set in the band
without making it hang badly is left
to "hop' like the sides OF the white
aprons that butchers wear.

The wit OF woman has been praised,
but her instincts are quicker and keen

your wife, or your mother, Or sister,
and be assured that light will flash
uponyour darkness. Women are too
commonly adiudged as verdant in all
but purely womanish affairs. Nophilo-

tell his troubles to his wife, we would
go further, and advise him to keep
nothing secret from her. Manyahome

fortune relieved by mans full conf
dence in his better half. Woman is
far more q seer and prophet than man
if she be given a chance.

Official Returna.

The Secretary of State has now received
the official returns for the recent State cleo
ton of all the counties except Humboldt,
Kern, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Fran
cisco, Santa Clara and Trinity. The law
concerning the canvass of the returns for
State officers, other than Governor and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT is as follows: [Sec-
ton 1890, Political Code
"On the foriieth day after the day of
election, or so soon as the returns have
been received from all the counties of the
State, if received within that time, the Sec
rotary of State must compare and estimate
the vote, and make out and file in his Office
a statement thereof, and transmit copy of
such statement to the Governor"
The canvass of returns for Governor and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is provided for by the
Constitution and Section 1906 of the Politi-
cal Code as follows-the returns being sent
by the Clerks of the several counties direct
to the Speaker of the Assembly:
The returns of election for Governor
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT must, during the
first week of the session [of the Legisla-
turel, be opened, canvassed, and the result
declared by the Speaker of the Assembly,
in the presence of both Houses"
The conclusion of the official canvass in
San Francisco shows that Ira G. Holtt, con-
corning whose election as Superintendent
of Public Instruction some doubt has ex-
listed, has a majority in the State of 191.
The Examiner yesterday conceded Mr..
Hoitt's election by majority of 81. A
correction made in its table concerning one
county increased these figures to Isl, and
in answer to dispatch sent by the RECORD
UNION to the Clerk of Napa county, it was

New Metronnlitan Theater.

Diplomacy" was played to good
house by the Jeffreys-Lewis company last
night. Miss Lewis as Countess Zieka-a
favorite character-appeared to as good ad-
vantage as at any previous period in her
dramatic history. 1t was mastery per-
Torrance. Quite level with it was the
Baron Stein of E. ]. Holden. He gave the
character a distinctness, force and individ-
uality that made it one of the foremost OBJ
jects of interest in the play. Mr.. Dainhall,
though having the leading male part,
scarcely came to the level of Mr.. Edmonds
as Henry Beauclerc, which character he
assumed with admirable success. Miss
Williams, as Dora, established her claims
to the rank of a true artist. She shared
the honors with the star, and justly so.
Mrs. Edmonds made her first appearance
last night. She is an old fayorite here and
sterling good support. Tonight Diplo-
macyi will be repeated for the last time.
To-day, at P. NJ, a matinee with prices at
so and % cents will be given, when Miss
Lewis will appear in the best of all her
characters, Forget me-Not."

Clunie Opera House.

The Osbourne & Stockwell Company
presented the play of Uncle Toms
Cabin" last night to good house. The
company is large and strong. L. R. Stock
well has the low comedy part of Marks,
and he is the best Marks known to the
stage. Frank Mordaunt, an accomplished
actor, was the Phineas Fletcher of the
piece Miss Barry made a handsome and
effective Eliza, and Kate Chester was an
excellent Topsy. Daisy Chester was such
an Eva as the ideal of the part demands
Mr.. Turner was too correct III enunciation
and language, and lacked the dialect neces-
sary for an old-time negro of the cruel
slavery days" he was otherwise effective
as in action, pathos and the assumption
of suffering. The cast includes too large a
number of people to justify further specific
mention. 1t is strong company, fortified
by good quartet of colored singers and by
a brace of bloodhounds, some donkeys
very good scenery, and all the desirable
attachments of an "Uncle Toms Cabin"
company. The scene Gates Ajar" is one
of very fine spectacular effect. To-day, at
2 P. NJ, there will be given an Uncle
Toms Cabin" matinee, and tonight the
play will be repeated.
