The Borrowing Neirbbor.

Mother has often told me of funny
time she had when she was quite young
housekeeper, afflicted with borrowing
neighbor This lady seldom had anything
of her own at hand when it was wanted, so
she depended upon the obliging disposition
OF her friends.
One day my mother put on her large
housekeeping apron, and stepped across
the yard to her outdoor kitchen. The
kitchens in Kentucky were never part of
the house, but always at little distance
from it, in separate building
"Aunt Phyllis" said my mother to the
cook, who was browning cofee-grains in a
skillet over the fire, II thought l told you
/ was coming here to make pound-cak
and cream pies this morning. Why is
nothing ready ?"
''La me, Miss Emmeline," replied Aunt
Phyllis. ''Miss 'Tilda Jenkins done car
ried offevery pie pan and rolling-pin and
pastry-board, and borrowed all de eggs and
cream fo' herself Her bakin' isn't mon
begun"
This was high-handed proceeding, but
nothing could be done in the case. 1t was
Mrs. Jenkins habit, and mother had
always been so amiable about it, that the
servants, who were easy-going, never
troubled themselves to ask the mistress,
but lent the inconvenient borrower what
eyer she desired,
Sometimes just as we were going to
church, was too little at the time to re-
member, mother said that small black
boy with very white teeth and very
woolly head, would pop up at her chamber
door, exclaiming;
"Howdy, Miss Emmeline. Miss 'Tilda
done sent me to borrow yo' prayer-book.
She goin' to church to-day herself"
Or, of a summer evening, her maid
would appear with modest request fer
Miss Emmeline's lace shawl and red satin
fan; Miss 'Tilda wanted to make call,
and had nothing to wear.
All this, think, made mother perfectly
set against our ever borrowing so much as
a slate-pencil or pin. We were always
10 use our own things or go without. l
never had sister, but cousins often spent
months at the house, and were in and out
of my room in the freest way, forever
bringing me their gloves to mend or their
ties to clean, as cousins will.
'Never borrow" said my mother. BUY,
or give away. or do without, but be be-
holden to nobody for a loan."-Margaret
E. Sdngster, in Harper's Young People.

condition, the demand for fine grades ex-
ceeding the supply. One firm not long
ago employing only sixty girls now has
600. The Americans and French are the
largest buyers pattern called the Royal
Irish Guipure' taking the best.
The larger quantity of Irish needle
point lace is fiimy and fat as compared
with the substantial raised or relief lace,
Of which, as a class, the Gros Point de
Feaise is the heaviest and boldest char
acter. This fat.point lace is made princi-
pally at Youghal, in County Cork, and
Kenmare, County Kerry. Youghal, I'M
der the direction of the Presentation Con-
vent there, has produced for good many
years some remarkable lace of this sort
! Kenmare was the first of the lacemaking
converts to establish an art class, and dur
ing the past FIVE years has not only mani
tested much energy, but has also produced
one or two quite remarkable bits of lace.
Very little pillow lace is produced in
Ireland. There are one or two t0rek0a
making centers in Galway and the West.
Some of the Industrial School children
under the Convent of Mercy at Parsons
town learn to do sort OF Honiton and
Brussels applique lace, but the annual out
put is small. Attempts have been made
by the managers of the Donegal Industrial
Fund to introduce among Donegal peas
ants pillow lacemaking, especially with
colored threads. after the style of certain
Bohemian and Russian laees. Eneourag-
ing reports have been made of these at
tempts and of the trade in their results.

California Flowers.

Slowly, but surely, the fact is being
recognized that California is capable OF
growing sufficient flowers to produce the
essential oils used in the United States.
A representative of Solon Palmer of New
York, one of the largest manufacturers of
perfume in the country, is now travelling
over the southern part of the State look
ing for locations in which to make expert
ments in extracting the oils from the
various flowers. There is no business in
the country that will pay better than this,
when 1t has once been established. 1t will
take at least two or three years to get
plants in a proper condition for producing
flowers from which to extract the oil.
What is required TO develop the industry
is patience, persistency and an intelligent
conception Of the ends to be accomplished.

for pendant. AS a proof that they are
rather proud of their appearance, each
carries bag containing few articles for
use in adorning himself; comb made
from thongs of the palm-tree; quantity
of the berries and fruit for painting
the skin black and red; pair of pincers
(which are nothing but two mussel shells1

ment of which he is most fond-the pol

especially as it is noise he desires, and not

The chief sustenance Of these Indians
is chicha, made of the cassaya root yucca
boiled and then partly chewed by the
women, after which it is mashed between
stones and left to ferment. On the third
day it becomes a little sharp in taste,
which quality increases as the fermenta
tion proceeds. Its consistency and appear
ance are much like mashed potatoes, and
to prepare it for drinking, lump the size

mixed. Then all the coarser fiber which
floats on the surface is removed with the
fingers, and the beverage is considered aft
for the gods" Those who have SO far
overcome their natural prejudice against
the bangs and fingers of the squaws as to
taste it, report that it is both palatable
and wholesome.
can testify from experience that the
civilized chicha of Peru and Bolivia, the
universal beverage of the lower classes, is
good enough for anybody. There are
many ways of making it in different parts
of South America. That most common in
the two countries above mentioned is from
shelled corn, well washed and bruised,
then tied up in leaves and boiled ten or
twelve hours until quite soft. This pulpy
matter is then run through coarse sieves
and put into barrels, which are filled up
water. Mel (honey) or sugar-cane syrup
is then added in varying degrees to suit
the taste of the chicha maker, and after
few days of fermentation it is ready to
drink
Another, and perhaps more common
method, is to put the shelled corn, I'M
cooked, into large, square holes dug in the
ground not deeper than six or eight
inches, the top and bottom being well cov-
cred with layer of clean straw. Water
is then poured on several times every day,
and in the course of a week or two the
corn begins to sprout. When these shoots
have grown about an inch long, the corn
is taken out, crushed between stones, put
into barrels and fermented with water and
honey as before. Chicha is not intoxicat-
ing unless taken in inordinate quantities
but is mildly exhilarating, and among she
poorer classes in measure takes the place
of food. 1t is the fashion among los rico,
and the foreigners to treat one another tc
picaate luncheons-meaning native dishes
made very hot with peppers and al, cooled
by goblets of chicha.

favor him. Her father did not think that the social
standing Of Jonas such as to render him III
match for his daughter, but he told the young man
that If he wogld bring him heightened references lie
would consider his claim. Jonas said nothing but
felt Indignant and resolved 10 have his revenge. SO
lie procured the best Of recommendations as TO his
character and standing in society. The old man
examined the credentials and satisfied. All
right said he "yOu welcome, walk into my

system OF public unSectarian schools, supported
by the public treasury. In addition to establish

stroyed the Church's power TO exclude Protestant

opened schools presumably as much 10 attract
the Mexican youth TO their peculiar creeds as for

1t would seem that the Mexican statesman Of
liberal tendencies would do well TO study seriously
the existing complications. By withdrawing
pecuniary support from the parochial schools, and
generously supplying funds from the public treas
ury for the support of the nOn-sectarian schools,
the Liberal party has done everything in Its
power 10 destroy the influence Of the priests But
for every public school under the protection Of
the Government, the Church is supporting
school OF its own: and wherever Protestant
school is opened two Catholic schools are estab-
lished TO contest every inch Of ground. As
result Of this keen rivalry, the peon is coming
rapidly to the fore as an educated factor OF the
near future in Mexico and then. when the in,
teligence Of the downtrodden majority has secured
to them the enjoyment of their legal rights, what
scramble will there be for their votes and sup
