An Unseen Witness.

According to the Court Journal, a
wealthy ironmaster north of England
whose house and works are dazzingly
illuminated by the electric lights, has
adopted an ingenious contrivance, by
which he may CLEAN some information
as to what goes on during his not un-
frequent absences from home. In sew.
eral Of his rooms and in his offices
there is concealed apparatus in the
walls, consisting of a roll of Eastman
paper and train of clockwork.
Every hour shutter is silently
opened by the machinery, and an in.
stantaneous photograph is taken of all
that is going on in the room. On the
great mans return he delights to de.
velop these pictures, and it is said that
they have furnished some very strange
information indeed. One clerk, who
received his dismissal somewhat unex.
pectedly and boldly wanted to know
the reason why, was Mortified when
shown photograph in which he wa.
depicted lolling in an easy chair, with
his feet upon the office desk, while the
clock on the mantelpiece pointed to
an hour at which he ought to have
been at his business. The servants
party in the best dining room fur
nished another thrilling scene.

A Wise Conclusion.

One summer evening, after Harry
and his little sister Helen had been
put to bed, a severe thunder storm
came up.
Their cribs stood side by side; and
their mother, III the next room, heard
them as they sat up in bed and talked
in low voices, about the thunder and
lightning.
They told each other their fears.
They were afraid the lightning would
strike them.
They wondered whether they would
be killed right off, and whether the
house would be burned up. They
trembled afresh at each peal.
But tired nature could not hold out
rs long as the storm.
Harry became very sleepy, and at
last with renewed theughtfulness in
his voice, he said, as he laid his head
on the pillow, "Well, I'm going to
trust in God"
Little Helen sat moment longer
thinking it over, and then lay her own
little head down, saying, "Well, l dess
| will too"
And they went to sleep, without
more words.

Revival of Business.

The New York Nail and Express
publishes facts to show that in many
branches OF business in that city, the
Fall trade is brisker and better than
for six years. This is especially true
OF dry goods, clothing and furniture
The dry goods is much sitter than foI
years, and the qualities that find ready
sale to the merchants of the West and
South are much better than for long
time past. The crockery and boot
and shoe trades are also reported in
excellent condition. The Southwest
is a fine buyer, rejecting the good
crop produced in that region. The
buying and movement indicate moth
ing speculative and bear every evi,
dence of simply rejecting the needs
of the trade and the greater plenitude
of money in the hands of the people.
The one great fact that is putting
backbone into trade all over the coun-
try, is that consumption has overtaken
production. There is a restoration of
confidence and money is freer. Some
heavy commercial failures will drop
occasionally, as they have been doing
in San Francisco, but they are refera-
bic to past rather than present condi-
tions of trade, and perhaps in some
instances they are the result of out
side speculation which has failed
through the non-speculative tenden-
cies of the time.

4 California Natural Wonder,

The mountains comprising Tulare
county's portion Of the grand old
Sierra abound in natural wonders,
which are certain some time to make
the region famous. One of these is a
natural cave, discovered several wears
ago, but which has never yet been
properly explored, and thus only I'M
perfectly described, though brief men
ton of it has been made from time to
time. The Tulare Free Press publishes
the following in regard to it: Our
ing the year 1880, Joe Palmer, while
tracking a deer, found very large
cavern. He afterward explored it and
found the entrance to be 25 by 80 feet,
and the descent nearly vertical for 80
feet, and an incline at 40 degrees for a
distance of 100 feet, then running
nearly level for some distance and ex-
panding into large chamber 100 by
200 feet, with walls more than 100 feet
high. This chamber is most gorgeously
ornamented by crystals, large and
small. Some of the stalagmites are
in size like unto huge stumps OF trees.
Crystal columns two feet in diameter
reach from base to dome, while innu-
merable stalactites, like arctic icicles,
hang from the upper walls. All the
crystals are of rarest whiteness and so
brittle that they must he handled with
the greatest Of care when removed A
great portion Of the base or floor is
magnificent mirror, startling in beauty,
size and splender. Some of the stall
actites are of many tons weight. Two
OF the passages which open into the
large chamber, 60 to rs feet from the
base, have not yet been explored, ow-
ing to their almost inaccessible posi-
ton. The darkness in the cave is in
tense, described as almost painful, but
a light reveals picture unrivalled in
beauty and grandeur-a million re-
Elections dazzling the eyes. The loca-
ton OF this great natural wonder is
about 80 miles east of Tulare, at the
head of the North Branch of the South
Fork of the Kaweah. Being directly
under Homer's Nose, it is not only
natural but picturesque. Another
novel feature to look upon near by, is
the largest boulder in the world, being
more than 100 feet in diameter and
weighing, perhaps, 100000 tons. Mr..
Palmer is mountaineer of travel and
experience, and claims this the great
est natural wonder of ALL"

Cooking as an Accomplishment

A girl who deliberately marries
without understanding the art of cook
ing as well as elocution, is a veritable
nuisance. Especially is this true of
those in modest circumstances, and
who cannot employ efficient cooks.
Burnt fingers, sour bread, scorched
roasts, leathery steaks, wishy-washy
coffee, and disordered stomachs are
not conducive to the happiness one
imagines will fill to repletion the hon
eymoon. There are so many reasons,
logical and philosophical, why cook
ing should be taught young girls, not
only as an accomplishment, but as the
means of happiness, health, and sue
cess in life, that it is useless to emu
merate them. One may thoroughly
understand art, music, architecture,
science and philosophy; be familiar
with astronomy, mythology, the mys-
teries Of evolution, politics and litera-
ture, yet if the chemistry of a loaf of
bread has been neglected, the educa-
ton is sadly incomplete.

A Perfect Baking Powder.

The great success of the Royal Bak-
ing powder is due to the extreme care
exercised by its manufacturers to
make it entirely pure, uniform in
quality, and of the highest leavening
power. All the scientific knowledge,
care and skill attained by u twenty
years practical experience are con-
tributed toward this end, and no
pharmaceutical preparation can be
dispensed with a greater accuracy,
precision and exactness. Every arti-
Gle used is absolutely pure. A num-
Der Of chemists are employed to test
the strength of each ingredient, so
that its exact power and effect in
combination with its co-ingredients, is
definitely known. Nothing is trusted
to chance, and no person is employed
i'll the preparation of the materials
used or the manufacture of the pow
der, who is not an expert in his pecu-
liar branch of the business. AS con-
sequence, the Royal Baking powder is
of the highest grade OF excellence,
always pure, wholesome and uniform
in quality. Each box is exactly like
every other, and will retain its powers
and produce the same and the highest
leavening effect in any climate, at any
time. The Government Chemists, af-
ter having analyzed all the principal
brands in the market, in their reports
placed the Royal Baking Powder at
The head OF the list for strength, pu-
rity, and wholesomeness, and thous-
ands OF tests all over the country have
further demonstrated the fact that its
qualities are, in every respect, unri-
vailed.

Manufactur of Counterfeit Gold Dust,

The Chinese have always been the
most successful manufacturers of
counterfeit gold dust. Many a lot of
brass or iron filings, plated with gold,
has been solo by them to unsuspecting
buyers. OF late years this has been
less practiced, however, because of the
fact that buyers almost invariably test
the dust with acid, or burn it. BY
subjecting it to an intense heat the
gold is not affected, but any other
metal that may be mingled with it is
soon dissipated in vapor. A buyer
was once purchasing some dust from q
company of Chinese miners. His bal
ance scales were on an open counter
before them. Suddenly he noticed
that one of the Cinnamon had slyly
touched the balance in which the dust
Was to be weighed. Quickly looking
under the bottom of it he found some
object sticking to it, which proved to
be sticky substance like beeswax. II
weighed half an ounce. The willy
Chinaman had intended, of course, af-
ter the dust was weighed to remove
the wax as deftly as he had put it on.
Marks on the bottom of the balance
revealed the fact that this trick had
often been successful. Thus this COM
pany, and perhaps others, had gained
half an ounce ON the buyer every time
they sold him a lot OF dust. This
trick and others of q similar character
afterward led almost all buyers to put
their balance scales in glass cases in.
stead of having them open on the
counter.

they are manufactured into a dentri-
fee. The oil that arises on the vats
where the crabs are boiled is used in
making soap and is equal to cocoanut
oil for that purpose. The meat of the
crab is put up in cans for salad pur-
poses, etc.
The Vancouver Independent states
that there is great excitment in the
county over the alleged discovery by
Portland man, in the Canyon creek
mining district, of ore assaying $4,000

Prairie has also discovered some good
leads on the Washougal, probably a
continuation of the same mineral belt,
and several claims have been located.
1t is too late in the season to do much
developing claims, and the winter may
cool off the enthusiasm of some.

How to Keep Flowers Fresh.

The great secret Of keeping flowers
fresh is to keep them moist and cool.
The heads OF sweet-scented flowers
should not be sprinkled, as that causes
them to lose their perfume. Those
who wish to carry flowers any distance
should wrap them in wet paper and
pack them in a box. The heads Of
carnation pinks and delicate white
flowers should be covered with oiled
paper. Florists send flowers hundreds
OF miles by taking these simple precau'
tions, and those receiving the lovely
blossoms are delighted to find them
apparently as fresh as when taken
from the plant.
