A Charitable Society Which Is Doing

AS for the kind of work accomplished
by this remarkable sisterhood, it is too
varied and extensive to be recorded in

HOME. FARM AND GARDEN.

IF the boys and girls can be in.
duced to pull weeds. fight potato bugs
and spend part Of each day in the gar
den, it will pay in health if not in
money.
TO cleanse channels skin, run into
it plenty of soft soap, let it lie in a
warm solution of soda water for two
hours, rub clean. and rinse in warm
water in which soda and hard soap
have been dissolved. - Good Hoa1sekeep-
ny
Watcr- Crosses Wash'well, pick off
decayed leaves and leave in ice-water
until you are ready to eat them. They
SHOULD then be well shaken free Of
wet and piled lightly IN glass dish.
Eat with salt. They are piquent APP
petizer on sultry mornings and very
wholesome.
1t is a great mistake to fence off a
farm vegetable garden. and lay
it out in beds which require hand
culture. Make the garden in the open
field, and plant in long rows, wide
enough apart to cultivate with horse,
and the greater part of the labor will
be saved.
- Preserves of any kind to be per-
feet must be made with the greatest
care. Economy of time and trouble is
a waste of fruit and sugar. The best
are made by putting only small
amount of fruit into the strip after it
has been clarified, as it is difficult to
witch a large quantity to insure its
being done to a turn"
-Begonias grow we'll in a light,
sandy loan with small addition of
leaf mold. They are quite at home iii
the shade. but require moist, warm
temperature to fully develop the beauty
OF the foliage. They do tolerably well
as room plants, but the dry air robs
tile colors of their brilliancy. Never
theless, they are still handsome and
interesting plants in rooms.
What is called thirty grain "soda
test" vinegar is strong enough for all
practical purposes. and we may add
that this is the standard strength as
used by the manufacturers of pickles
Of various kinds. To test a sample of
vinegar, weigh out thirty grains of
bicarbonate of soda and one troy
ounce of vinegar. If the vinegar will
neutralize the whole of it, the vinegar
may be considered as thirty grains
strength; if it does not, then it is be-
low standard.
Boiling water will usually take
out berry stains; if not, use little
chloride of lime in the water. For
raspberry stains there is nothing bet
ter than a weak solution of ammonia.
Washing with acohol, or wetting the
spots and rubbing with soap and soda,
will take out grass stains Ink dis
colorations in white goods will COM
monty disappear when pounded salts
OF lemon are placed on the stains and
they are placed in the hot sun for
fifteen minutes. Good Housekeepieq.

How tho Columbia River Makes It's way
Through tho Cascade Range.
The central and eastern parts Of Oregon
are vast bed Of lava, which covers, ac
cording to Prof La Conte, between 100000
and 100000 square miles of territory. 1t is
probably tho most extraordinary lava flood
IN the world. Commencing in Middle Cali
fornla as separate streams, in Northern
California it becomes flood flowing over
and completely manteling the smaller inc
qualities, and flowing around the greater
inequalities of surface, while in Northern
Oregon and Tacoma it becomes an absolute.
II universal flood, beneath which the whole
original face OF the country, with its hills
and dales, mountains and valleys, lies
buried several thousand feet. It covers
the greater portion Of Northern California
and Northwestern Nevada, nearly the whole
Of Oregon, Tacoma and Idaho, and runs far
into Montana on the east and British Colum.
bia on the north.
This enormous matter evidently arose
through assures, and flowed until the
streams or masses met, forming an almost
continuous sheet The Cascade range OF
mountains seems to have been source OF
immense overflow.
The area covered by this overflow can moi
be less than 100000 square miles, with az
average thickness of about 1900 feet, but
having thickness in some places Of 3,7N
feet. The statement, which seems an ex.
traordinary one, lis sustained by tho ex
tensive observations Of Prof. Lie Conte
The Columbia river cuts through the Cas-
cade range in gorge a hundred miles IL
length, with perpendicular cliffs. The cas-.
cades of the river are at the axis of the
range, and tho cliffs here arc $500 to 3,sU
feet above tho river surface, and are com

But the entire thickness of the lava has
been cut through, and the surface revealed

Here, at the rivers surface, underlying the
mountains of lava, are remains of ancient
forests and evidences Of interesting geo
logical changes.
There occurs at the rivers edge, and
