4 CREDITsBLE EXHIBITION.
TIE STATE FAIR OF 1890 CLOSES ITS
DOORS ON THE PUBLIC.
Crowds at Both Park and
Pavilion.

The State Fair closed last night and there
will be general stampede from the city
to-day and tomorrow by visitors from re-
mote parts who have been away from theil
homes and occupations for the last two
weeks. Interest in the exhibition was
maintained to the last. All departments
were as well attended yesterday and last
evening as on any previous occasion, and
visitors at the Pavilion seemed 10th to
leave it even when the last notes of the
Liberati Band echoed through the great
building and struggled for hearing
against the rattle of machinery, the tramp
ing of thousands OF feet and the voices OF
the chattering multitude who have no
music in their souls.
The farmer, the stock-raiser, the me-
chan;c, the merchant, the srtist-all will
go to their homes to-day with new ideas
gathered during their visit to the fair. The
country youths and damsels who were
wideawake, have also picked up new ideas
from their observations of city bellies and
beaus seen at the fair, but whether for
better or worse remains to be seen-cer-
tainly the family sack" will suffer some
in consequence. But, on the whole, it is
safe to say that good results must follow
these annual gatherings of people of all
classics and from various communities.
1t is but repetition to say that the exhi-
bition was one of merit. The displays
in the Pagilion-whle not as varied as In
some years past-were such as to give an
excellent idea OF the progress that the State
is making in agriculture, the mechanic
and finer arts. In the live stock depart
ment the evidences of progress were
equally as marked. The exhibits of cattle
and horses showed that California has left
far in the rear her pastoral period, when
the mustang and the wild cattle of the
plains embraced all that she could boast of
in the equine and bovine species. Now
California is supplying the world with the
best in the way of highly-developed horses,
while her cattle are as finely bred as those
of any country.
A State that can show such development
in a little over quarter of a GEN.
tury certainly has a grand future be-
fore her. Consequently, her people
should take pride in making these
annual exhibitions such as will reflect
credit on this commonwealth, to the end
that all who visit the coast may see at once
the best evidences OF what California is
doing for herself and for the nation. The
sales of her fruits in Eastern markets have
amounted to many millions of dollars for
this season alone, and the fruit industry is
really but in its infancy as yet.
In the years to come this State should
have annual industrial and cattle shows
that will attract visitors from all parts of
the Union. They are the best advertise
ments of her resources and development
that could be devised. With these fairs at
home and California on Wheels travel
ing abroad, there must result in the near
future a tide of immigration to this State
that will transform the unoccupied por-
tions of its valleys aud foothills into teem-
ing gardens and granaries from which the
world will draw much of its supplies.

No Not Eat Too 0nieIlx

e ia a mistake to eat quickly. Masti-
cation performed in haste must be i'm
perfect even with the best of teeth, and
due admixture of salivary secretion with
the food can not take place. When a
huge mass of inadequately crushed mus
cular fiber, or undivided solid material
81 any description, is thrown into the
stomach, it acts as mechanical irritant
and sets up condition in the mucous
membrane lining of that organ which
greatly impedes. if it does not altogether
prevent. the process of digestion. When
the practice of eating quickly and fill
ing the stomach with unprepared food
is habitual, the digestive organ is rem
dered incapable Of performing its proper
functions. Either a much larger GUAM
tity of food than would be necessary
under natural conditions is required or
the system suffers from lack of nourish-
ment. Just as man may go on for
years with defective teeth, imperfectly
masticating his food, and wondering
why he suffers from indigestion; so a
man may habitually live under an af-
fiction of hurried dinners and endure
the consequent loss of health without
knowing why he is not we'll or how
easily the cause of his illness might be
remedied. -Louisville Courier-Journal

THE GUT WORM.

a Destructive Pest That Seems Possessed
with the Spirit of Devi1try.
The cut worm, we need not say, is
destructive pest. There are several
species of them, and they feed not only
upon corn, but upon grasses and nearly
all our cereal crops. They receive their
name from their habit of cutting off the
plant on which they feed. If, however,
they would only cut what they eat we
might bear with them. But seemingly
possessed of real spirit of deviltry,
they cut off plant after plant apparently
for the fun of the thing. They are not
an imported insect. They have been
here from the first knowledge that white
men had of the continent. The birds
serve us a good purpose in devouring
the cut worm. Plow the land in early
fall, and give the birds chance. 1t is
probable that whatever benefit comes
from blowing in the fall in the direction
of destroying the cut worm, is the re-
suit of giving the birds a chance at
them, for it is said that the unprotected
Larvae will stand temperature of thirty
degrees below zero. Hence there is not
much hope of freezing them to death.
One writer advises that they be de-
SJioNtu ny uIS ing lIItLIL CdI " Hillt-
Pretty tedious and difficult work some
will say. Well, this writer says not.
He declares that it is by no means SO
tedious a procedure as would be thought
at first, as by passing along the corn
field early in the morning the cut stalk
will reveal the whereabouts of the night
marauder, which. by digging around the
stub. may soon be found and crushed
As this plan implies the loss of at least
Il single stalk to a larva it would be very
we'll in planting to practice the advice
of the poet: Two for the black bird,
two for the crow; two for the cut worm,
and four to grow" This advice will be
all the more pertinent if the corn is to
be planted after late spring-plowed
grcenSward. This writer further saws
that if our farmers will heed the above,
and give the go-by to all those quack
remedies which obtain annually an I'M
merited place in our periodicals, such as
salt. plaster, etc. Though all fertilizers
which promote rapid growth are always
to be commended as aids in the work of
insect destructionl, this cut-worm evil
will soon assume less Importance. Tho
Rural, however, does not agree with him
in his denunciation of salt. We believe
salt to be good thing.-Western Rural

OOaESTIC CONCERNS.

After using, a sponge should be
washed and then rinsed in clean water
ana perfectly dried. \ small piece of
sponge IS particularly good to wash a
spot OH O. coat, vest, or other gar
ment.
Baked Hash: Take any kind Of cold
meat and chop fine with little cold
nam or salt pork: mix in one or two eggs
and a little butter. and season with salt
and pepper; with this mix bread or rusll
crumbs, moisten very little, and bake
like pudding.
Soap should always be kept in a
receptacle with holes in it so that the
water may drain off and thus save the
piece from becoming soft. The small
fragments should be preserved and either
nodded together or put into a flannel
bag for use.
To Use Cold Veal: Take of cold
veal one part, two parts cold boiled po-
tato, both cut in little pieces: put some
cream or milk in stew-pan with piece
OF butter: salt and pepper and let it boil
up; then put in veal and potato and stew
few minutes; drop in bits of green
parsley This is equally nice for cold
chicken.
Every housekeeper who is maid as
we'll as mistress, should have AN easy
rocking chair in her kitchen, and paper
holder on the wall, and when the few
leisure moments come, which occasion
ally creep into the busiest lives, pick up
a paper or magazine and sit down Il min
ute, while they catch a breath of the
outside world.
"A strong argument against prOfuse
trimming of underwear, is the increased
outlay of strength needed to carefully
iron it. Many woman stands over an
lroning-table in summer until complete
" exhausted because she was too proud
to see her children dressed any more
simply than Mrs. AS, and the latter kept
two servants, and she none. 1t is de-
plOrably sad. but true, that many
woman has but herself to blame for
overwork and premature decay House
hold.
Hard Soap: Boil for four hours fif-
teen pounds of fat in twenty gallons of
strong lye. When it is thick put in half
a peck of coarse salt and boil two hours
more; then if it does not curdle put in
more salt until it does; then pour it into
tub to cool; let it stand until the next
day. Take eighteen gallons of fresh
weak I've: take the thick soap off the
tub and put in the I've: let it stand four
hours; then put in half peck of salt;
let stand two hours or more; then put it
into a tub to cool. Cut irto pieces the
next day and let it dry.
Apple Meringue Pie: Peel tart, juicy
apples, and CRATE until you have 4 pint
or more: into this beat the yelks of four
eggs, one tablespoonful of melted but
ter. one-half cupful of sugar, a little
nutmeg, one cupful of milk, mixod with
the yelks of eggs, pour the whole in
dish lined with paste; bake half an hour
in quick oven. When it is a light
brown take it out and let it cool. Then
beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff
froth with one cUpful of powdered sugar,
add the juice of one lemon; cover the
apples with the whites of the eggs. Re-
turn to oven to brown lightly.-Albany

Storing Apples.

A mistake too often made in this con.
hcction is to place the apples in the
cellar too early in the season. After
continuous freezing weather sets in, no
place is as good as cellar for storing
apples; but they should be kept in an
open outb uilding after being barreled
until such weather arrives. Indeed,
apples often do well left entirely out of
doors, protected only by boards so
placed over the barrels as % shed rain.
Apples may be subjected to some pretty
cold weather in this way with impunity
if the temperature is not so low as to
bring about hard freezing.
Perhaps more apples rot through too
early cellar confinement than suffer in
condition from exposure. 1t is probable
that the keeping of fruit mainly depends
upon the temperature of the room,
whether it is cellar or place above
ground a temperature just above
freezing is supposed to be the most IA
vorable. Dryness has been considered
essential if fruit is to be long preserved,
but there is a question about this; even
moisture, when it tends to reduce the
temperature and keep it near the freez-
ing point without reaching it, may help
to arrest decay.-The Household.

A DELICIOUS DRINK.
How japanese Gentlemen Prepare Tea for
Their Guests.


Their Guests.
One of the delightful features of an
entertainment by a Japanese gentleman
is the way he makes the tea with his
own hands The ware and the hot wa
ter and the tea may be brought by the
servant. but the host reserves to himself
the function of preparing the tea. 1t is
a simple process, but the result is a de-
coction totally unlike any thing that
Americans know as a cup of tea.
1t is d very simple process, indeed
Say two persons are to drink. y small
handful of tea is thrown into a teapot
Then the boiling water is poured out
into two cups The host leisurely pourS
another. until the water is cooled some
degrees below the boiling point. 1t is so
cool that an American housewife would
consider it entirely unfit for making
tea. as the general rule with us is to pour
on a little boiling water first to draw the
tea. The idea of cooling the water, the
japanese say, is to avoid extracting the
sharp. acrid taste that is often noticed
in tea. When the water is sufficiently
cooled it is poured upon the tea all at
once. and allowed to stand but few
moments. Then it is poured off and is
ready to be drunk. To use milk and
sugar would be sacrilege. The decoc-
ton is delicious, smooth and peculiar
" aromatic liquid, a nectar of the gods.
1t is, of course, q very expensive way to
make tea. but when it is made it is a
drink to be remembered.-N. y. Star.
