A wOMAN'S WAY.

A Startling Business Proposition.
A little over six weeks ago Mrs. Fowler of 327
Ellis street. San Francisco, stopped in at leading
city druggists to ask what effect joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla, about which she had heard so much
recently, would havein cases of dyspepsia aadsick
headache. She was assured that in most cases it
would relieve both. She was, however, soincredu-
leus that finally the druggist gave hera BOTTLE not
to bo paid for unless it effected cure. PROPOSE
ton SO startlngly ractica has seldom, if ever be-
fore. been msde Tho following justreceivedis is the
convincing conclusion, and tells it's own story:
San Francisco, February 8, 1888.
DEAR Sir: rwrite to admit that, notwithstand-
ing my misgirings. Joys Vegetable sarsaparilla

Of caution, continue to take itreguarly for while

An exhibition of the merits of the Ed
Olson Electric Fire Extinguisher was
given last evening at the intersection Of
Los Angeles and Also streets by the
Chemical Fire Extinguisher Company
OF Los Angeles. In order to test the extin-
guisher thoroughly frame structure ten
feet square had been built, and this had
been painted with tar, saturated with
lnffammable oils, and 80 arranged that
once ignited it would bnrn with the
fercest rapidity possible. A few min
utes after 8 O'Clock, in the presence of a
crowd which filed the street, a match
applied to the inflammable material.
and in second the flames
shot high in air, appearing
as If nothing short of fire engine could
put them out. After waiting until the
oils and tar had thoroughly ignited, the
chemical was turned on and in eighteen
seconds not even a spark was left to
Show that there had been blaze. Fire
was then started in chimney twenty
feet high, which also had been saturated
With oil and tar, and in four seconds.
despite the draught, no trace of the
flames was to be seen. The highest
praise was bestowed upon the chemical
which had so quickly subdued the hot
test kind of a fire, which could not have
been quenched by water in less than
from three to five minutes. No more
successful test could be imagined than
that of last night.

Ex- County Treasurer Elem ing's bonds
men and the finance committee of the
board of supervisors have about come to
an agreement at last, and the matter
will probably be finally adjusted by the
board tomorrow morning. The bonds
men are not inclined to pay the cash de.
ticicucy out of their own pockets jus,
now, but agree to give their notes to the
county on six months time. Mr.. Elem
ing owns some real estate up near Du-
luth, and he promises to turn them over
to his sureties in that time, il he cannot
sell them before. They offer him 81, 800
for the property now, but he does not
feel inclined to accept their proposition,
thinking that he can realize more than
that amount from them. Rather than
have any trouble, the supervisors feel in :
clined to grant the time asked, although
it would seem that the bondsmen should
make good the deficiency at once. Ex~
Sheriff Reticker settled his shortage
and without any haggling over
minor details. Mr. Fleming's sureties
are Capt. T. j. and D. 7. Robinson,
Porter Skinner, Judge Lynde, Phil
Congressman Gest, G. F. Hem
enway and J. NJ. Christy.

began drinking and came west. He

1t results from special report made to
the French minister OF agriculture that
sugar is an excellent agent for preserving
meat, and possesses some advantage over
salt. In fact salt Gbsorbs q portion Of
the nutritive substances and Of the flavor
of meat. When an analysis is made Of
n solution of the salt dissolved by water
contained in meat, we find albuminold
bodies. cStractve substances, potassa

OF these substances so much the more
readily in proportion us il enters the tis-
sues more deeply or acts for longer
time. 1t then results that the meat,
when taken from the saline solution, has
lost nutritive elements Of genuine i'm
poriancc.
Powdered sugar, on the contrary, being
less soluble, produces less liquid. 1t
FERNS around the meat solid crust,
which removes very little water from it
and does not alter its taste. Thus pre-
served, il suflccs TO immerse the meat
In water before using it. Although this
treatment costs little more than pres

of the final result and Of the loss pre-
vented, which offsets the difference in
cost between the two preservative agents.

a New Preventative Arr.

NJ. Triy, the French consul ut this
port, has in his parlor hugo decorative
piece, seemingly of roses, rosebuds. vio-
lets, smilax and other flowers and foliage,
apparently carved with most exquisite
delicacy in bronze. The most minute
curves and veinings of the smallest petals
and leaves arc preserved with infinite
exactitude, 80 that it would seem as il
the piece represented years Of patient APP
plication of the highest skill In this diff
cult branch of art. In point of fact,
however, the whole thing was produced
in few hours, and ut small expense, by
the new process of plating, the invention
OF Frenchman. Each bronze flower
and leaf incloscs the real original, upon
which the metal has been deposited by
electric action, and il is affirmed that tho
roses 40 encased retain indefinitely their
perfume, and, even in their deepest
interiors, their natural colurs. The
same process is applied in the making Of
silver i!les, beetles and other insects, and
even in the coating of lizards and small
snakes for the ornamentation Of parasol
handles and cane heads. The dead insect
or reptile IS Theoretically sealed up in it's
metal coat, and, it Is said, will never de-
cay, at least until the metal is worn
through, aud. as the deposit may be put
ON as thick as is deemed advisable, they
may be made to last as long as peoples
liking for them as n novelty endurcs.
The fidelity to nature in these reproduc-
tions is wonderful.
Heretofore something has been done in
the direction Of plating non conducting
surfaces by giving them primary coat
ing Of plumbago, but that always was n
necessary imperfect process. The French
electrician substitutes for that bath
the composition of which is secret
into which the objects TO be plated are
plunged for few seconds. When they
are withdrawn they dry off almost i'm
mediately and seem To have upon them q
family discernablc coating like the bloom
upon plum. They are then plunged
into an electric bath, and any metal de-
sired is deposited upon thenl.--New York
