OMISSION.

OMISSION.
II isn't thu thing you do, DEAR
II is the thing you leave undoue
Which gives you bit Of heartache
At the setting Of the sun;
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight
The stone you might have lifted
Out OF the brothers way;
The bit of hearthstone counsel
You buried too much t. say,
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for
With trouble enough Of your own.
These little acts of kindness.
So easily out of mind,
These chances TO be angels
Which even mortals find
They como in night and silence
Each childs reproac lful wrath,
When hope is faint and flag Sing,
And blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late:
And it's not the thing you do dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heartache
AT the setting of the sun.

MOLE CATCHING.

The presence of moles, says the Mari
Lane express, is generally regarded as in
dicative of good soil; yet the farmers
first object on acquiring such soil is to
get rid of them. They are destructive
to drains, and deadly enemies to the com
mon earthworm, which Darwin has ap-
praised at high value as medium of fer
tilization in the soil Indeed, their food
consists mainly of the common earth
worm, though other insects such as mag
gots, which fall into their tunnel are
readily devoured. These latter no person
will grudge them, but they work irrepar
able havoc to crops. They usually in
habit strong, good land. 1t is contended
by some people that they assist in the
work of aeration, so necessary for the
successful management of land. Doubt
less they open up the soil, but, unless
when digging well down in pursuit of
grub-and then they interfere with the
diverting the water-they should
by all means be kept down, and if posi-
BILE, stamped out.
This subject has been suggested to us
bya query from correspondent: GLOW
can | best get rid of the mole?" There
are various systems of mole catching.
Traps of various kinds are used The
wire tray has been in vogue for well nigh
thirty years, and is an effectual method
if care is taken to use it in proper part
of a fresh tunnel In some instances the
wire trap, however, has been thrown aside
superseded by the use of poisoned
worms. This system is held by its advo-
Gates to be equally as sure as trapping,
while it is lighter work. Either of these
methods in the hands of ski'lful mole
catcher will effect complete eradication
of the little foe, but the mole-pest is moi
now so prevalent throughout the
country as it has been earlier in the cen.
fury.

WAYS OF BAKING GRAHAM FLOUR.

BY this time everybody knows how to
make graham ''gems" by the usual
method, which is simply to stir the bat
ter just little sitter than griddle cake
batter, and bake quickly in very hot
oven. This thing is certain, the thinner
the batter the hotter must be the oven.
1t is also the case that gems mixed with
water require hotter oven than those
mixed with milk. So, if you cannot
have very hot oven, either make the
mixture of simple graham -four and water
quite thick, or mix the flour with milk.
SKINNED milk is good enough. though
new or creamy milk makes the bread
more 'short," of course. Have the gem
pans very hot, and then scrap of cloth
with the least bit of butter on it, rubbed
over the irons, will prevent the gems
from sticking. Housekeepers who have
no gem pans can make very nice warm
graham bread for breakfast in several
ways. Make dough of flour and sweet
milk, skinned or creamy, as you prefer,
or find convenient still enough to roll
out easily. Knead this little, roll it an
inch thick and cut it into diamonds; or
cut off strips and make it into rolls with
the hand; or roll it into balls two
inches in diameter, fattening them lit
tie, or not at all, as you choose, or roll
the dough very thin and cut it into
square crackers, pricking them well to
prevent their putting. Crackers are best
with some cream in the mixing, aud
crackers require more kneading than dia-
monds and rolls, which are expected to
be soft inside.
Any of these kinds of bread, diamonds,
rolls, balls and crackers are baked upon
the CRATE in the oven, which should be
wiped off very clean. They will not
stick to it, and will bake very fast.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Whitewash is good for tree trunks.

Halter break the colts while young.
A poor tree is better than an open field,
A healthy SOW that is sucking litter
of pigs is ravenous eater.
Stock like salt now as well as in sum-
mer. See that they have it.
The celery crop, especially that Oh low
land has suffered this year from too much
water.
Carnations make good winter growers.
They should be planted firmly in good
light soil.
Easier for you and better for the tree
to use your thumb in summer on super
numerary shoots than to use the knife
next spring.
Medium-sized varieties of corn, espe-
cially with short jointed stalks, are bet
ter either for dry fodder or ensilage than
the average, coarse, tall-growing varie-
ties.
No farm is complete without good
house 10 store the implements in, and no
farmer understands his business that does
not store his implements when they are
not in use.
No variety of corn should be used for
ensilaQe that will not mature in ample
time to be gathered into the silo before
there is danger of frost. Plant so thin
that considerable grain will mature.
Keep the house surroundings, stable
and sheds clean as we'll as the house it.
self, then will the numerous brood of
summer ills be diminished greatly and
the comforts of home as greatly increased.
If you wish to breed hens alone for
eggs, select one or more breeds that will
lay the greatest amount of eggs under all
circumstances. Ii your market demands
dark colored egg, select the fowl that
| laws that kind, and vice versa.
The idea, too often entertained, that
Judges at fairs award premiums because
of personal favor, has very little founda-
ton in fact, for all managers of fairs
want favors bestowed because of merit,
and will not accept judges OF doubtful
integrity.
Wood ashes even if dry should not be
used for dust bath. Road dirt, plas-
ter or sifted coal ashes with small guam
tity of air slaked lime will be much bet
ter than wood ashes. 1t will be found q
very valuable aid for the fowls to rid
themselves of lice.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
rmosruArE ron enAss LANDS.


Grass is of the same order Of plants as
Is wheat, and il is therefore only natural
that what helps the grain should benefit
it also. Old pastures that have run down
so that the grass is thin may be greatly
helped by narrowing just as fall rains be-
gin, sowing timothy seed, and with il II
dressing of 200 pounds of phosphate.
Not only will the grass next season be
more abundant, but stock will eat il more
closely, showing that it is richer in nutri-
ton than that grown before being fertil-
lied, Grass grown by the aid of fresh
barnyard manure may be rank and often
sive, while that grown with bone or any
mineral fertilizer is palata6le to stock,
especially to milch cows, which use much

The people of God act as if the fields now

not occupied by Christian missionaries they
are apt to be pre-occup ed by other forces,

A. L. TEELE

Who Was the Woman?-TheL LIE.
vanter Took Nothing With Him.
A. L. Teele was so good fellow in the
main, and Mrs. Teele is q lady of such
excellent character, that the absence ol
the real estate boomer is still the subject
of no small interest. He has a great
many friends in Los Angeles, who
deeply regret any report to his disad-
vantage. In connection with his name
has been coupled in all the dailies of the
city, except the HERALD, the name of a
young lady of this city, a member of one
Of the most highly esteemed Spanish
families in this pueblo. That this young
lady had been guilty of indiscretions the
HERALD has been able to deny at all
times. Her presence in this city ester.
day and the day before is the fullest just
ifcation of the position taken
by this journal all through the
unhappy affair. The young lady in
question has been at Santa Monica for at
least two weeks past, and is very inri-
mate with Mrs. Teele, which refutes the
idea that she could possibly be thought
likely to 60 away with Mr.. Teele.
But that the gay Lothario did 90 north
in company with q woman seems now
almost proven. He was in San Fran
cisco not many weeks ago, and after his
return bill came to his Office for ex.
presssge on trunk delivered to some
part of the city. 1t was not his own
trunk, for he took none away with him.
It was not Mrs. Teele's, for she was at
Santa Monica. Whose was it? A little
sly detective work has revealed the fact
that this trunk was taken to a private
house on Temple street, number 1888, q
most respectable house in all respects.
Teele stated that he wanted rooms for
himself and his wife. He took woman
there who came with him from San
Francisco, and established her in the
rooms as his wife. They lived there
slntil the day of Teele's departure, when
they both left together, or nearly so
Yesterday Mrs. Teele visited this house
to make inquiries, and found in the
rooms occupied by the pair an old hat
with Teele's name inside thereof. These
facts seem to settle the matter in q
rather definite shape.
But where is Teele? The probabilities
are strong that he is at Vancouver City,
at the mouth of the Fraser river, at the
terminus of the Canadian Pacific railroad,
British Columbia. There is big boom
on there just now, and the place is grow
ing rapidly. 1t is just the place for q
man of Teele's enterprise to rebuild his
old fortunes in a country new. He may
make stroke there, and then pay those
whose money he has appropriated here.

very large attendance last night at the
complimentary benefit rendered to Pro-
fessor Voron by the Santa Monica cornet
band. As it was Stesre's Hall had a
goodly crowd, for Mr.. Voron is one OF
the most popular citizens in the seaside
burgh, and there was a general turning
out to do him honor. The programme
presented was very good one, and was
thoroughly enjoyed, as was also the So
