The Russian Coffee Pot.

The Russian coffee pot is one of the
recent additions to the list of inventions
for those who will not or cannot learn to
make coffee. 1t is curiously christened
after nation that is devoted to tea. II
offers process of making coffee success
fully at the table, but it will be useful to
camping out parties especially. This
coffee pot consists of an oval copper
vessel suspended over an alcohol lamp.
In the centre of this oval there is com.
partmcnt which holds just coffee enough
to make one cup or five cups, according
to the capacity of the pot. In the lower
part there is q compartment that holes
only Just the amount Of water needed.
This is put in cold, the alcohol lamp is
lit, and as soon as the water begins to
boil hard the oval is reversed and the
water pcrcolates through the coffee. II
cannot fail to make cup Of good coffee,
providing the coffee is good and has
been properly powdered.-NeW York

A FEMALE BULL-FIGHTER.

The heroine of the hour just now in
Lisbon, Portugal, is q German girl,
Fraulein Johanna Alaestrick. Fraulein
Maestrick was born near Berlin, but
went with her parents as child to
Portugal. When she was seventeen on
impressorio, struck with her size and
beauty, offered to train her as female
bull-fghter. The agent sent his pupil,
who is not yet twenty, to compete at the
show of female beauty which took place
last spring at Lisbon, where she carried
off the first prize. The advertisement
proved an excellent one, for ever since
the impressario has been bombarded with
letters from persons of all classes, wish
ing to know when the beautiful "Torera"
is to make her debut.
She has not yet appeared in an arena,
but last week she came out in trial
fight at Oporto. A huge crowd collected
to see the unusual sight. The young
lady quickly laid two bulls in the sand,
and rode off followed by band of
music, amid thunders of applause.
Crowds of people collected before the
windows of the hotel at which the
"torcra" was staying, and far into the
night she was obliged to appear on the
balcony in response to their calls for her.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Kill bushes in hot weather.
Mature plans for fall work.
Protect insectiferous birds.
A patch of rye for fall feed should be
sown.
Cattle or horses should not be pastured
in an orchard.
Pick cucumbers for pickles often; pick
clean and of uniform size.
Do not let your team when warm be
exposed to the cold draught of air.
4 soil showing q large amount of
plant food by analysis is safe to buy.
Rye or other grain fed to hogs ought
to be accompanied with grass or clover.
It is better to color butter with breed
and feed then with any artificial prepa-
ration.
The loss of feathers often proceeds
from deficient or unclean dusting ar
rangenents.
The honor, wealth and stability of a
nation rest in the keeping of the indus
trial classes.
Hemp and sunhower seeds are excel
lent for imparting glossy appearance to
the plumage.
Among your farm duties is the duty
of taking care of your health. No other
is more pressing.
The pullct is so called for twelve
months or until the year in which she was
hatched is closed.
Bone. dust is very beneficial for the
feeding Of growing chickens up to five or
six months of age.
Ammonia is the best suggested rem
cdy for bee-stings, as it neutralizes the
acid injected by the sting.
Fruit mulching is too much neglected.
A good mulch not only helps the grow
ing crop, but enriches the soil for future
crops.
All fruit trees should be trained low.
The lower limbs should never be higher
than to adapt the orchard to convenient
culture.
The Minnesota experiment station has
had excellent results in spraying native
plums with London purple to kill the
curculio.
Tarred felt is used for covering the
roofs of buildings made of wood. If
tarred and sanded over, it lasts consid-
erable time.
English ivy can be planted with sue
cess on the north side of buildings, but
where it gets much sun in winter it will
not thrive.
1t takes an extra good farm and extra
good farming to yield six per cent. Cd
the capital invested. Consider this be-
fore you borrow money to buy more
land.
One of the cheapest and best-made
fountains is an ordinary Aower-pot re-
versed into glazed saucer. Fit cork
into the hole of the pot, fill it with water
and reverse it.
Nothing is more fatal to the success OF
a breeder than over-crowding. The
poisonous air, the exhalations from the
bodies and the excavations of q great
number of fowls crowded together, caR-
not be coubated by any ipduence%

MAIDS IN LIVERY.

English ladies are adopting the fash
ion of putting their maids who wait at ta-
BILE in livery. The skirts are plain of these
livery gowns and of the heraldic color Of
the house. All the pleats are thrown be-
hind. Then the waistcoat and jacket
are trimmed with livery bands, buttons
and crests or mon ograms in metal. A
high stiff white collar, white cuffs and q
tiny white cap like topknot complete
this livery.-CAicago Herald.

AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
THE SEX OF STRAWBERRY PLANTS.


! The strawberry varies in regard to the
sex of the plants. Some are entirely fc-
male. These are known as pistiilate from
the pistils, which arc the receptive repro
ductive organs which are fertilizcd BY
the pollen from the male plants, and
they have no stamens. Others are both
male and female, having both pistils and
stamens, and these are perfect plants.
The pollen from these is distributed by
bees or the wind to a considerable dis
tance. Consequently in planting differ
ent varieties of strawberries it is neces-
sary to have row of perfect plants in
termingled with the pistillatc kinds for
the perfect fertilization of these-NeD
York Times.

THE RAGE FOR SPANISH FASHIONS.


The rage for Spanish fashions has by
no means abated. Spanish yellow is the
most popular color to-day for elaborate
dress. 1t has gone far to succeed the
poppy.1ed of few seasons past. One
fair lady appeared on gala occasion re-
Gently with parasol, bonnet and dress of
pale yellow Grape and yellow ostrich
feather bow about her neck. These boas
OF ostrich and cassowary feathers are very
becoming and are easily slipped off when
the sun becomes too hot. During the
damp mornings and evenings at the sea-
shore and the high mountain resorts fur
capes have been in demand, especially by
those who adopt English styles in dress.
Black ribbons edged with pale Spanish
yellow and yellow grosgrain ribbons are
largely used with black dresses. This
shade of ribbon has since the time of
Moses been used in combination with
black by the women of Granada, and is
especially becoming to their clear bru-
nette beauty. Ribbons are used in dozens
of ways this season; in knots on the
shoulder, in full choux or rosettes at the
waist directly in front or in pairs directly
at the back. These rosettes are made of
either plain inch-wide ribbon, or of picot
edged ribbon in the narrowest width,
like the cherry colored ribbon head dress
described by "The Spectator. "-Neao
YorE Tribune.

HAT-TRDdMNG LORE.

Here's some hat trimming lore from
the Ladies' Home Journal: For trimming
hats the velvet or silk rosettes are much
in vogue. They are easily made-after
one knows how. You must conclude
how large rosette you want, and widen
or narrow your material to suit the size.
The rosette most fancied is just about the
size of a rose, and the material, cut on the
bias, is folded to be an inch wide. The
strip is then gathered and drawn into
shape, it being fastened in that way on a

soils, can be determined in amount only
by making the experiment.-C0untry

LATEST OCCUPATION opEN TO WOMEN.

LATEST OCCUPATION OPEN TO WOMEN.
The latest occupation open to women
is that of lamp-carer. I don't know if
that's what the ladies who take care of
lamps call themselves, but that's what
they really are. There are two in the
city now; OF there Will be two during
the winter. They are "reduced gentle
women," and each morning they visit
number of houses, and clean, fill and
sfx" the various fine lamps set before
them. The average servant can do
nothing with a lamp but spoil it; but
these ladies don their aprons and rubber
gloves, clean the outside and the inside
of the lamps see that the wicks are in
good order, fill the lamps, and leave
them so that even the stupidest servant
can not prevent them from burning we'll.
They have studied lamps, know the right
kinds and sizes of wicks, know whether
COLA oil is needed in one kind of lamps,
and "startight" in another; and alto
gether they take away from the owners
a great deal of the care which the
management of the rediscovered and
much-multiplied lamps brings upon
them.-Chatter.

HOW TO BEGIN POULTRY KEEPING.

HOW TO BEGIN POULTRY KEEPING.
The safe rule to follow in starting in
the poultry business, as in any other pur-
suit, is to know what you want. Never
mind what any interested person has to
say about some particular variety of
fowls. Make your own investigation
60 to his yards, look over his different
varieties; read up on tine subjec:-aud
know what you are doing. And then
you can 90 ahead and made your selec-
ton with o reasonable prospect of sue
cess. Get the breed best suited to your
purposes. One who lives in a town,
with but limited quarters, should choose
some of the Asiatics. If there is plenty
of range, and eggs arc the object-take
some of the active, large combed breeds,
such as Leghorns, Minorcas or Hamburgs.
If the object is to raise poultry for mar
ket-take some of the middle-sized,
quick growing breeds-Plymouth Rocks
or WyaIdottes. While for good, all
around fowl the American Langshan is
the best, though there are many other
good breeds that would 60 in this class.
One thing, that must be remembered, is
that every one must suit his OWL indi-
vidual taste and purposes. After having
decided upon the breed or breeds to
keep, the next question that comes up
is where to produce the stock2 Get it
fof some reliable, well-known fancier who
has q reputation at stake. You have
then the guarantee of good stock, and,
even if it does cost q little more, you
have the foundation of success. Its
particularly true in the poultry business
that the lowest price is the dearest, in
the end.-+4ucriean A5riculturiSt.
PASTURE RENEWAL WITHOUT FLOWING.
Ground for pasture may be renewed
without plowing if the grass which coV-
ers it is thin in growth and does not form
close and compact turf. Use harrow
with sharp teeth and load it sufficiently
to tear and pulycrize the surface. If
necessary the narrowing may be repeated
several times until the surface presents a
fine, mellow bed of soil to insure the
growth of grass seed which is next to be
sown upon it. If the soil happens to be
rather dry pass q roller over it, which
aid in covering tie grass seed By pressure
and at the sane time will firm the sod
and render more certain the growth of
the grass. For permanent pasture It is
best to SOW several kinds of grass, both
for increasing product and afording sue
cession OF food by ripening through the
season. The different kinds will also
protect one another in winter and in sea-
sons of drought.
A permanent pasture cannot continue
to afford good crops without top dress.
ing. If good coat of barn manure can
be applied it will become pulverized and
mixed with the surface soil by the opera
ton, causing the grass seed more cer-
Itainly to germinate and promote better
growth. In absence of manure any COM
mon fertilizer may be used which has
been found efficient on your particular
soil, and in making this experiment it
would be we'll to measure the increase
thus produced, and to see if its value is
equal to the cost of the fertilizer. A

POPULARITY OF PUFFs.

It is but short time-perhaps two or
three years-since the first timid at
tempts to introduce puff sleeves were
most energetically rejected and ladies
declared themselves in favor of the tight
sleeve incasipg the arm from top to bot
tom. And now what a change! Not a
dress, mantle, or paletot, be they in
tended either for old or young, without
the full sleeve, ending either in band or
cuff at the wrist; sometimes the sleeves
are gradually slanted off from top to
bottom, the former being as wide as the
old-fashioned leg-of-mutton sleeves with
their inner rolls of padding. Broad
shouldcred ladies, to whom this arrange
ment is unbecoming, lessen the size by
means of long plaits going the whole
length of the arm and springing out in
puff at the top. Devotces of the old
style modify and nodernize their sleeves
by the addition of a seton, Gretchen
costume puff, or the proper plated epau-
let trimming Chicago Ners.

Mining in Arizona shows at present
 more activity and promise than for
 many years past. Operations now go- ing on in the different counties and camps are harbingers of better times ahead more people, a greater con- sumption of home products, and bet ter markets for the same, follow in the wake of successful mining enterprises. The number of mills, smelfers, etc., now in operation in the Territory may be considered an index of the condi- ton of such ventures The number of gold mills now in operation seems to indicate that Arizona, as a field for gold quartz mining, is not unimport- ant. Among those that are at work may be named the Congress, with 20 stamps; the Phenix, 20 stamps (more stamps talked oD; the Mammoth, 30 stamps, 20 more going in; the Harqua
 Hala, 10 stamps; the Bent & Sampson, 10 stamps, more talked of; also a number below Prescott that are run ming. Altogether there are some eight or ten gold mills in successful opera ton. Next in point of activity come our copper mines and smelters, the Copper Queen, Old Globe and Clifton copper mines are pretty we'll known among the new ones are the Lake Shore, near Casa Grande; the Silver Bell group, below Red Rock; the Buffalo, at Globe; the Burgess mines, on the San Pedro; the Duganes, liar shaw, etc. Silver mining appears 70 drag little, although the Reymert is increasing its capacity; the Vekol is blocking out ore for long run; the Arivaipa Canon company is beginning operations; more chloriding is proba- ply done and more ore shipped, but for large enterprises, silver mining has certainly fallen to the third rank in Arizona. Doubtless there arc more stable companies starting and operat- ed than for many years. "Wildcats," d year or two ago, showed themselves on every hand, but their places have now been taken by solid operators, and let us hope that the revival will be followed only by legitimate invest ments.-Correspondence Engineering and Mining Journal, l

Troops Ordered Out Again.

James w. Hall came in from neal San Bernardino ranch Thursday and re- ported that when he reached Mud Springs he found troop of cavalry there but did not learn where they were from or where they were going. The troop had it's flag and the horses were jaded and worn, evidently having come long distance in hurry. They had no sup plies and were all white men, although Mir. Hall met some colored soldiers be- tween Mud Springs and San Bernardino ranch. It is supposed that the troop was going 10 the ranch, as Indian signals have been seen in that vic nifty for some time. MT. Hall was told by some Mexi- cans that a body of Mexican soldiers were camped near the ranch, just across the line, and it is possible that the sol diers have got the Indians between them and propose to Lave little fun.
 Word was received in this city yester- day from Fort Huachuca that a troop of cavalry was sent out from the fort last Thursday night, at midnight, going in the direction of the Patagonias, where the Indians have been killing stock and terroIizing the settlers.

A gentleman, stopping at the Cos mopolitan hotel reports that a soldier of the Second Cavalry, while cleaning out an old cellar at Fort Huachuca. found $30O0 in coin in an old stove pipe. Instead of keeping it, as he had right to, he turned it over 10 the officers. The money will probably be put in the treasury and nobody will ever claim it. There are some people who will never be rich, though fortune comes to them. This fellow ought to be poor and clean out cellars all his life.-Citizen.

But They Didn't Nee a Single. Solitary Indian

Troop F, Tenth Cavalry, which was | sent to the front a short time ago, has
 been recalled from their arduous duties
 on the border and have returned to Fort
 Grant. The account of thelr suherlngs
 while in pursuit of Indians is narrowing 1 and sad in ihe extreme and would make
 a pOnderous volume describing hardship
 and peril unequaled in the history of any country since the year one. After leav-
 ing this city the troop made the almost
 unheard-of forced march 10 Bisbee, a distance of about thirty miles, in one
 day, arriving there in an exhausted con-
 dition-chiehY owing to scarcity of water
 on the march, there being only three or
 four watering places along the route.
 IL is reported that the entire command,
 although mounted on good horses, was
 so utterly worn out on reaching Bisbee
 that several days elapsed before they
 were all able to answer roll call. The
 terrible search for Indians then com menced, the troops wandering for days
 and days over the trackless wilds of the
 Mule mountains, often being without food for hours at a time, On several oc- casions they lost thelr bearings and wan dered nearly mile from camp and only after the greatest privation and peril were they able to return. After having made an exhaustive search of the entire country within radius of half mile of Bisbee, and finding no Indians, they were recalled to the fort from whence they came, taking with them the heartfelt and everlasting gratitude of the residents of the entire county-within a radius of half mile of Blsbee-and the sympathy of the entire United States-outside of Arizona. They have done their duty, as was expected, and it was not their fault that no Indians were found. The blame rests entirely on the Indians, who were so ungrateful as to consistently refuse to be seen Tn the vicinity of Bisbee, thereby adding a stain to the honor of the noble red man that only time will eface. The troop went forth to conquer and returned returned with victory perched high up on brows that have been corrugated by deeds of heroism and valor and it is to be hoped that they will now be able to enjoy the rest and comfort they so richly | deserve.
