FARM AND FlRESIDE.

Let the horses run in the pasture
little while when they come in from
a hard days work. They will enjoy il
better than full meal.
The common complaint that chick
ems, or pigs. or cows, or sheep do not
pay" is really, says the American
Cultivator, reflection on the manage
men of their owners.
A quart of milk in large pitcher,
with lump of ice to stand in it. is a
refreshing article on hot day. But
1t is best to keep in mind that the more
one drinks the more uncomfortable one
will feel, as it causes perspiration to
flow copiously.
"A COW may look we'll, and oven be
a good mixer, yet be breachy, and
have confirmed habit of swinging her
right hind foot in an uncomfortable,
awkward manner around at the mixer
and the milk pail. You shonld look
out for such kind in purchasing.
bananas kept on ice a few hours.
then peeled and sliced into glass dish,
with cold yellow custard poured over
them, and frosted over the top, make
an easy and welcome dessert. Four
bananas to quart of custard is suffi-
Gent for a medium-sized family.-N.
Y. Independent.
DO not expect too many eggs. Oc-
casionally hen may be found that will
lay an extraordinary number of eggs
but this will prove the exception rather
than the rule. Ten dozen eggs in a
year is good average. and more than
a large number of them will do. and
this number will return a handsome
profit on the cost of keeping.
If the season is of the rainy sort,
the growth of clover on the grain field
is only fortunate mat for hay. or for
blowing under as manure, and will give
further dividend the next season as
an underground deposit. If not needed
for pasture. clJFer can always be used
to advantage in some other way
Orange Judd Farmer.
-Oat meal, vegetables, fresh fruits
and plain, good bread should form by
far the greater part of our fare during
the hot weather. Use iced drinks spar
ingly. Much taken at one draught is
apt to dc serious harm. Ice cream can
be INDUCED in frequently, provided it
is eaten very slowly. Then it will prove
healthful and nourishing. 1t is the
sudden chilling of the stomach that
does harm.

Museum OF Princess Carriers.

A curious collection of ladies' garters
is kept at the Hohenzollern museum at
Berlin. Whenever there is a wedding
in the Hohenzollern family a number
~ these short silk carriers with the
initials of the newly-married princess
are distributed among friends. The
collection was begun by William
l., and the Oldest garter is that which
was woven on the occasion Of
the marriage of Prince Friedrich
Wilhelm Ludwig with the daugh-
ter OF the reigning Duke of Anhalt
Bernburg. in 1917. There are twelve
garters from the reign of Frederick
William Ill. and ten from that of his
successor, Frederick William w. They
are all made of ribbed silk of different
colors, braided with gold or silver. and
many of them are finished off at both
ends by heavy friuges. Pail Mall Ga

JiM-JAM VALLEY.
The Remarkable 81 ghts Alleged Co BE Seer
in That Region.

| Aho hoHarAhDio SlshtS Alleged co he seen
in That Region.
'In the secluded Jim-Jam Valley of
the San Bernardino Mountains, re-
marked Joe JOachinson, the pioneer of
San Bernardino, the other day to re-
porter at the Palace Hotel, there are
the most marvellous mirages known in
the world. The wonderful mirages of
the Mojave Desert have been talked
about good deal, and they are entitled
to all the prominence they have had.
But those of the Jim-Jam Valley are
far more wonderful than these. 1t is
called the Jim-Jam Valley because of
the strange things seen there, and
defy any man, however sound of mind
he may be, to go in there, and not
think he has got EN- before he gets
out. The valley is about twenty-five
miles long by fifteen miles wide. 1t is
uninhabited. 1t is bordered by the
main San Bernardino range on the east
and by spur of the Sierra Magdalenas
on the west. There is no well-defned
trail through the heart of it. The valley
is desert. The surrounding noun
tains are terribly serrated and cut up.
The peaks are jagged. Altogether the
surroundings are very weird and for
bidding. Leaving Fisk ranch on the
trail at the foot of the Sierra Mag
dalenas, you climb an easy grade to.
Dead Mans Pass, the entrance to the
valley. Go on in and pretty soon you
see lakes and running rivers, and green
borders, and flying water fowl. Will
lows spring up here and there, and in
the distance you see water-lilies. What
you behold contrasts finely with the
rugged mountains, and you are charmed
with it and go on thinking you have
struck an earthly paradise. Indian
camps appear in view, and 1.-THE oars
men propel fantastic crafts upon the
waters. Advancing still farther, you see
dim outlined forms. things whose out
lines you can hardly express in words.
Somber cOuntenances CLEAN at you from
the air above. The lakes and rivers
and the pallid faces shift and change
before your eyes. Sometimes a dozen
of the more or less dimly outlined
forms may be seen. and the pantomime
reminds you of strange hobgoblin
dance. Sometimes storm brews in
the valley. and then the scene is all the
more terrible. Forked lightning blazes
about, and strange, uncouth animals,
differing from any you have ever read
about, are to be seen there. These
phenomena are seen for a stretch of
about fifteen miles up and down the
middle of the valley principally, and
they have been viewed by great
many people. They can not UNDER
stand why the forms of the mirage, if
such it may be called. are so much
more strange there than on the Mojave
desert. Every body is in awe of the
valley, and there are mighty few men,
however nervy they may be ordinarily,
who care to go there much."-San
Francisco Examiner.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1889-09-14

Is always far worse than that OF their
temperate fellow-workmen. The in
temperate man can not do as much
work as sober one, nor is his work
OF as good quality. They do not work
as regularly, and consequently do not
earn as much. They are not a de-
sirable class of workmen in any estab-
lishment, and when dull time comes
they are the first to be dismissed when
the force is reduced.
The rum-drinking workmen are in a
chronic condition of poverty. for their
earnings go into the tills of saloons
instead OF into a savings bank. They
pay their money out for rum instead
of for food, clothing and other neces-
saries of life for their families. They
have spent in debauches what would
have bought tnem comfortable cot
tage homes and made them bright and
cheerful They, too, are chronic
'kickers" for high wages, notwith-
standing the fact that they are the
least worthy. They do not realize the
axiom in economy that a mans wages
are to be measured by what he saves,
rather than by what he wastes.
If the working-men of the entire
United States, instead of going on a
strike for higher wages would go on a
general strike against rum, a solid
revolution would be wrought. Think
of the result if the 5000, 900. 600 per
year that is now spent in running life
and health by rum were distributed in
the avenues of legitimate trade instead
of over saloon bars! There would be
a permanent boom in every line.
There would be abundant work in
every shop, every factory, every mer-
camille establishment; wages would
rise and employers would be able to
pay them. An era OF prosperity would
set in. based on a sure and solid
foundation, and the rum traffic would
die for lack of sustenance. Toledo
