A Promising Future-A High Tribute

E. S. Hall. one Of the pioneers of the
State, and one who knows as much about
the oothills of the Sierras as any man
in California, writes from Plymouth as
follows:
The recent cold snap-or perhaps it
might, with more propriety, be called a
Polar wave of atmospheric air passing over
the citrus belt from Southern to Northern

other citrus trees were destroyed by frost.

the ore which has just passed over this

in Galveston, Tex. an event never known
before, and the cold wave extended across
the continent from the Atlantic to the Pa
cife. Sufficient time has now elapsed to
hear from all parts of the State, and our
most experienced horticulturists say that
the injury TO all kinds of citrus trees is
very slight.

establishing their orange groves. But it

TRIBUTE To Ell DORADO
We are glad to note that the old Empire
county of El Dorado has caught the land
boom, and that wild agricultural land
around Coloma has Jumped to 500 per
acre. We know that all the old pioneers
have warm place in their hearts for the
welfare and prosperity of the citizens of
that historical county. Wherever they
may be it is their Mecca, the bright star Of
their early dreams, and the last spot of
earth TO which the memory turns when
life's visions are passing away. This old
historic county is about to put on new
robes of beauty. The advent of the rail-
road will give new life and vim to her citi-
zens and help largely TO develop her great
natural resources. But what shall l say of
Little Amador, her sister county? She
has all the natural advantages of soil, water
and climate, but lacks railroad facilities.
Give her these and she will soon be the
peer of any county in the State. Span Lit

and you will change natures wild land
scape into paradisical bower of beauty.

Music RecOnciIed Them.

The Spanish and Indian Californians
were passiOnately fond of music. All
the men could make shoes and play the
guitar and every woman could sing
Spanish songs to her own accompani-
ment. Bancroft, in his "California
Pastoral" +" tells how the people, after the
conquest of the country by the United
States, were reconciled to the new rule
by music.
The Californians were invited to re-
turn to their homes and resume their
usual occupations. Proclamations. which
promised protection of their persons and
property were placarded in the towns.
but they would not come out of their
hiding places.
The commodore, whose naval force
had helped TO conquer the country, was
at Los Angeles, aud, meeting Captain
Phelps, an old trader on the coast, re-
quested his help.
Commodore" replied the captain,
''you have fine band on your ship, and
such a thing was never before in this
county. Let it play one hour in the
plaza each day at sunset, and l assure
you it will do more toward reconciling
the people than all your proclamations,
which few of them can read"
The captains suggestion was adopted.
At first the children came forth and
peeped round the corners of the houses.
A few lively tunes brought out the vivas
of the older ones, and before the band
ceased playing they were surrounded by
delighted natives.
The next afternoon the plaza was
thronged with the people Of the town
and with ranchmen from distance, who,
having heard of the wonderful band, had
ridden in. The old priest of the mission
of an Gabriel, as he sat 10y the church
door opposite the plaza, listening to the
music, was introduced to several of the
noval officers.
81 have not heard a band," said the
old man, ''since l left Spain over fifty
years ago. All that music will do
more service in the conquest of Cali,
fornia than a thousand bayonets. -

A COMPARISON.

I'd ruther lay here among the trees,
With the singin' birds an the bumlebees
thet I can do as please,
Than TO live what folks coll life Of ease,
Up thar in the city.
Fer really don't 'zactly understan'
Where the comfort is fer any man
In walkin hot bricks and usin' fan,
An enjoyin' himself as he says he can
Up thar in the city.
It's kinder lonesome mebbe you'll say
Alvin out here day after day,
In this kinder easy, careless way,
But an hour out here is better'n day
Up thar in the city.
As for that, jus look at the flowers aroun'
A-peepin their heads up all over the groun',
An the fruit abendin' the trees way down
You don't find such things as these in town
Or ruther in the city.
AS said afore, such things as these,
The flowers the birds an the bum'lebees,
An liyin' out here among the trees
Where you can take your ease an do as yoi
please,
Makes it bettern the city.
Now, all the talk don't mount to snuff,
Bout this kinder life bein' rough,
An I'm sure it's plenty good enough.
An tween you an me faint half as tough
As livin' in the city.

A Teapot MonOmaniac.

There was at Palatka, Florida, re-
Gently a man OF about forty winters,
who was an object Of pity, and yet with
all that was somewhat amusing. lie
was sane on all subjects but one, at
times imagining himself a teapot. lie
could put himself into the shape of a
teapot by rounding one arm to represent
the spout and the other to represent the
haudle. While in that shape he became
very uneasy if anyone came near, fearing
they would break off the han lie or spout.
He would not speak, but would make q
danger signal with his mouth to repre-
sent the escaping steam. Then he would
walk around sway TO and fro among
those about him, fully satisfied that he
was teapot.-Nelo York Graphic,

A Scalp in the Mail.

The dead letter office gets a good
many curious articles through the mails,
and the employees who open the packages
are accustomed to many strange sights.
The contents of package received the
other day, however, takes the lead. It
was the scalp of white woman stretched
out on bent willow frame, and from
the marks on the package the conclusion
was reached that it was trophy of some
Indian warrior. The hair was long and
dark, and the scalp had evidently been
removed hastily, judging from the
Jagged edges. 1t is supposed that it was
kept as a curiosity. An effort will be
made to find the owner, and then,
probably, the history of the scalp will
be made kpowR.-- Washington Star.

IMITATION OYSTERS. Gut tender veal
in pieces the size of an oyster; then sea-
son we'll with salt, pepper, and thyme or

or cracker crumbs and fry.
FRIED EGG PLANT. After peeling
the egg plant cut in slices One-half inch
thick, pepper and salt them, and lay one
slice upon the other, leaving them to
stand ten or twelve hours. Drain off
the liquor, dip in -four and fry brown.
WHITE WINGS CAKE.-Beat one and
a half cups sugar and two tablespoons
butter TO n cream, then add cup Of
sweet milk, in which dissolve a teaspoon
of soda, one egg well beaten, three cups
sifted flour with two teaspoons of cream
tartar, and teaspoon of lemon essence.
Bake in one large OF small pans in a
quick oven.
ACm DRINKs.-In warm weather acids
are not only palatable but healthful.
The abundance and cheapness of lemons
makes their free use possible, and much
of the spring sickness Is due to the
neglect to use freely such fruit as nature
has provided at that season. Lemonade
makes better drink for young and old
than tea or coffee too freely used.
RHUBARB JAM.-An English cook
gives the following recipe for it; Peel
and cut up the rhubarb, boil till reduced
to pulp with a very little water; allow
one pound of sugar, one ounce of sweet
almonds, blanched and chopped, and
half a lemon, cut in slices to every pound
of pulp; boil Tor three quarters of an
hour or an hour, remove the lemon peel
and put into pots.

pie-plant, one cup of sugar, yolks Of
three eggs, white Of one egg, one spoon
full of butter, Melted lemon to flavor.
Bake in bottom crust, make a meringue
of the whites of two eggs, put over the
top of the pie and brown lightly in the

separately, and, after cooking the other
ingredients, fill the crust.

Inexnensiye Cream Pnfrs.

Cream pufTs, made by the general re-
cipcs found in the cook books, are eN-
pensivc luxuries. A recipe is here given
which those who have used very highly
endorse: Take one cup of cold water and
one half cup of butter and set it on the
stove. When this comes to the boiling
point stir in one cup of flour dry. The
mixture will cleave from the bottom Of
the pan when sufficiently stirred. Then
take from the stove and wlTen little cool
50 the eggs will not cook, stir in three
eggs, one at a time, without beating.
Last of all, add piece of saleratus the
size of pea, dissolved in a teaspoonful
of milk. Drop on well buttered tins
with large spoon, and bake twenty-five
minutes in very hot oven. This rule
makes one dozen very large ones, or
about fifteen of the usual bakery size.
Do not open the oven door to look at
them in less than twenty minutes. When
the pulls are cool cut a slit in one side
with the scissors and fill with cream. As
to the cream filling, almost every cook
has her own favorite way of making it,
some using flour in its preparation, and
others, corn starch, but for the benefit
/ of those who are minus any particular
modus operandi the following is very
good: Beat together one egg, one half
cup of sugar, and three tablcspoonfuls
of corn starch or -four, stir into it pint
of boiling milk, stir until thick enough
when cold add the flavoring. Open the
puffs on the side and put in q spoonful

The Mechanism of the Heart.

In the human subject the average
rapidity of the cardiac pulsation of an
adult male is about seventy beats per
minute. These beats are more frequent
as rule in young children and in
women, and there are variations within
certain limits in particular persons,
owing to peculiarities of organization.
1t would not necessarily be an abnormal
sign to find in some particular individ-
uals the habitual frequency of the
hearts action from sixty to sixty-five or
seventy five to eighty per minute. AS a
rule the hearts action is slower and
more powerful in fully developed and
muscular organizations, and more rapid
and feebler in those of slighter form. In
animals the range is from twenty five to
forty-five in the cold blooded and fifty
upward in the warm blooded animals,
except IN the case of horse, which has
very slow heart beat-only forty strokes
q minute.
The pulsations of men and animals
differ with the sea level also. The work
of q healthy human heart has been
shown to equal the feat of raising ) tons
4 hundred weight foot per hour, or l %
tons in twenty four hours. The excess
of this work under alcohol in varying
quantities is often very great. A curious;
calculation has been made by DR.. Rich.

How Water Should Be Cooked,

"Water is one of the secrets of cook
ing," sententiously said a well-known
New York chef to a Nail anil EPrress re-
porter.
81 suppose you mean all food in its
raw state should be washed"
"Nothing of the kind replied the
artist. "a few cooks understand the
many effects produced by hard and soft
water in cooking vegetables and meat.
II peas and beans, for instance, are
cooked in hard water, containing lime
and gympsum, they will not boil tender,
because these substances have tendency
to harden vegetable caseine. Now,
many vegetables, as onions, boil nearly
tasteless in soft water, because all the
flavor is boiled out. The addition of
salt ten checks this, as in the case of
onions, causing the vegetables to retain
their peculiar flavoring, principles, be-
sides such nutritious matter as might be
lost in the soft water. Some of the
finest dishes in the world are ruined by
the use of hard water when soft is re-
CURED. 1t is a science that can best be
learned by actual experience in the ca
pacity of assistant chef. 1t requires q
long apprenticeship and natural apti-
tude to become a great cook and to un-
derstand water. Now, to extract the
Juice OF meat to make broth or soup
soft water unsalted and cold at first, is
the best, for it much more readily pene-
trates the tissue. But for boiling, where
the Juices should be retained, hard water
or soft water salted is preferable and the
meat should be put in while the water is
boiling. so as to close up the pores al
once. l have two asslstan is and once {
week lecture them on the proper use Of
hard and soft water in cooking certain
dishes. In answer to your facetious ques-
tion above will state that not only raw
food should be clean, but that water
goes long way in keeping a irst-class
cuisine in healthy sanitary condition.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
More Room.

When every nook and corner seems
full, consider the walls. A great many
things may be hung on a strip of wood
running across your bed room or kitchen
wall, covered from dust by calico cur
tain. Envelope bags straightened by
ropes or lath strips, may hang anywhere
to hold aprons, collars, hats, newspa-
pers, everything. Packing boxes may
be placed one above another and shelved
and curtained, or small ones may be
padded like ottomans aud used for seats
and cases to hold bed linen or under
clothing. A few yards of bright chintz
adorns a room wonderfully in the way
of curtains, chair covers aud scrap bags.

Trades Unions in China are very con.
servatiye, declares James Payn in the
Independent, and those who break their
unwritten laws are treated with greater
severity than even with US, Instead of
being boycotted, or blown up with gun,
powder, the offenders, it seems, are
bitten to death. At Soochow, read,
this punishment was inflicted the other
day on a member of the gold-leaf craft,
for taking more than one apprentice at a
time. One hundred aud twenty three
members had a bite at him. These
institutions boast, not without reason,
that none of the "brethren" ever comm it
a second offense; from which C rcum-
stance it is supposed the proverb has
arisen; "Onee bit, twice shy"
