Thcy Should He Made Strong and Serv

MY attention has been drawn to this
matter by seeing how some farmers, re-
puted to be wealthy, have permitted the
carpenter to make gate fancy instead
of useful. In soil closely underlaid by
thin stones, when the soil or clay has
been dug through, the first stratum Of
rock may with a sledge be so shattered
that large hole can be excavated sim
ply by picking out the fragments. With
a crowbar or drill the next stratum may
be broken up and the hole will be deep
enough to receive the post, which should
not be less than seven feet long (better
longer yeti and at least six inches
square; the hole to receive it should be
about one foot square.
Now nail on the lower end a piece OF
board two inches thick and ten inches
square. This will serve to protect the
post and will anchor it, projecting three
or four inches each side from under the

of them can boast the multitude of
temples and the lavishness of design
and ornament that make marvellous this
deserted capital on the Irrawaddy. De-
serted it practically is, for the few
fiimsy huts that stand by the river are
inhabited only by pagoda slaves and
men condemned to perpetual beggary.
For eight miles along the river bank,
and extending to depth of two miles
inland, the whole space is thickly stud
ded with pagodas of all sizes and
shapes, and the very ground is 30
thickly covered with crumbling rem

What May BE Eaten with Fingers.


There are number of things that
the most fashionable and well-bred
people now eat at the dinner table
with their fingers. They are:
Olives, to which fork should never
be applied.
Asparagus, whether hot or cold, when
served whole, as it should be.
Lettuce, which should be dipped in
the dressing or o little salt.
Celery, which may properly be
placed on the table cloth beside the
plate.
Strawberries, when served with the
stem on, as they usually are in the most
elegant houses.
bread. toast, and all tarts and small
cakes.
Fruits of all kinds, except melons
and preserves, which are eaten with a
spoon.
Cheese, which is almost invariably
eaten with the fingers by the most par
ticular people.
Either the leg or other small piece
of q bird is taken in the fingers at
fashionable dinners, aud at most of the
luncheous ladies pick small pieces Of
chicken without using fork.-Chtca.

Business is brisk with tho profession
al face-beautifiers as soon as summer
begins. Women whose compilations
are burnt red by the sun or tanned
brown by the wind swarm to their

marks of exposure removed from their
skins, as they suppose, by mysterious
preparations.
"If the women who patronize beauti-
fiers knew the simple processes by which
tan and sun-burn are removed the bust
ness of these pretentious establishments
would be gone," said girl who was
employed for long time in ono Of
them. THE best way to take off the
acquaintance with strong winds and
sunshine" she continued, "is applica-
tion of hot, wet flannel. Take water
almost boiling; soak the flannel in it,
and then wiring out in towel, winding
it in contrary motion. Apply the
flannel to the face, pressing it upon all
portions. Then bathe the skin in rain
or distilled water in which there's lit
tie good cologne or lavender water.
That's all. Yet women pay out lots of
money every summer to get the sun

THE NIGHT WATCH.


"Who's thcrc?" demanded voice.
Garland, SIR" replied the man,
with difficulty commanding his un-
steady tones.
Lawyer Edgar strobe into the mid
die of the apartment and glanced about
him.
Where are you?" he asked.
"Here, SIR"
The guilty creature dared not trust
his features in the light of the large
lamp, so he remained in the shadow of
the window.

Attending to the closing OF this
window, SIR"

"Yes, SIR"
II thought heard voices here?"
: "Mrs. Hanks, tho nurse, left me five
minutes ago."
"The voices heard were speaking
not one minute ago."
Impossible! You are mistaken, sir. {"
He had succeeded in quelling the
shaking of his voice, though he was
white to the very lips.
Possibly am mistaken" assented
the lawyer. "Now, will you do me q
favor?"
Certainly, SIR"
"Go to Miss Dred, the housekeeper,
and il she has not retired ask her to

Garland's face was study as he left
the apartment to do tho lawyers bid

During the next few minutes Lawyer
Edgar gazed steadily into the fire.
"The thing is done, he muttered, at
last; "thank Heaven, it cannot be un-
done! Max Boyden is cut off without
o cent. Had there been no will, he
would have inherited ALA fine fortune
for that dissipated rascal; but as there
is will, he may go begging"

housekeeper, who had entered the room,

EDITORS HERALD-Being continuous
reader of the Los Angeles HERALD, and
seeing but few words spoken of the
blooming little Burg of Redondo, would
like to let your readers know that this
place is not 80 dead as the Times would
make us believe. Sunday being our best
day, about two thousand five hundred
visited the beach.
All were we'll accommodated, the
restaurants furnishing the very best fish
for dinner. The fishing from the wharf
is excellent several men who are fishing
support their families from the early
catch in the morning. One man caught
seven of the finest white salmon or yellow
tail as they are called, which sold readily
from twenty FIVE cents to one dollar and
fifty cents.
The programme of the day was boat
ing, bathing, fishing and rambling the
beach over all to the best of pleasure.
The Redlands Brass Band, accom-
panying the San Bernardino train,
showed its skill on the wharf by playing
several fine pieces of music, after which
the steamer Protection arrived at the
wharf, which WAS crowded with eager
spectators.
On Monday the Protection was at the
wharf unloading her immense cargo ol
lathe, redwood fenceposts, sugar, coffee
tea and liquors.
