Australia's Drawbacks.

"What inducement does Australia
offer to a young American in search of a
fortuuel" was asked of j. H. Mulford, of
Rockford, ILL.,, who is registered at the
Sherman House on his return from the
continent in the Southern Pacific.
"None, " he answered promptly. "Don't
hesitate to advise all young and old
Americans who desire to make living to
be satisfied in the finest country God ever
maze. If living can't be made here it
can't be made anywhere. OF course if a
man has a situation ready for him there
it might be all right tor him to go there.
But doubt if even then he would sue
ceed. Very few Americans remain there
who can get away. You see that the
business men from Australia are English
men who were brought up in English
ways, which are altogether too slow for
men accustomed to the business methods
of America. Moreover, business is at a
standstill there. 1t has been growing
worse for the past four years on account
of the big droughts. Water is scarce,
there being only few rivers, and along
their banks there have been this year
floods which proved equally disastrous to
the droughts. And if these two combi-
nations were not enough, the labor ele-
ment is getting restless again. Australia
has the strongest labor organization in
the world, and when a demand is made
by the organization something has got to
give way. Eight hours with half holi-
day on Saturday is IN vogue throughout
the colonies, but that is not enough, and
the question of seven hours with
whole holiday on Saturday is being agI-
tated, Many of the branches have dc
clared for it, and it will only be a sho'
time when the entire organization vii,
declare for seven hours and all of Sat
urday. The purpose of doing so will
be the hope of supplying work for the
thousands of now idle men by lessening
the productive power Of those at present
employed. Motel young Americans
in search of fortunes to stay where they
are, or if they are bent on leaving this
country to go anywhere but to Australia.
l have just travelled all over that conti-
nent, studying the situation carefully,
and know whereof l speak. - Chicago

Tapping the UnderHoM.

What promises to be one of the most
important features in water irrigation in
California has been brought forward at
Riverside, in the question as to the right
to tap Underground flow, or percolating
water.
a company is at work upon a tunnel
which will tap the underhow that makes
a vast body of land around San Bernar-
dino moist. Should this land be drained
to such an extent that the moisture will
be diminished near the surface, and thus
compel irrigation where the character of
the soil has heretofore not required il, a
great hardship will fall upon property
owners, and protracted litigation will
follow. 1t is "a wholly distinct feature in
riparian law, and may result in riparian
legislation. 1t would seem to be much
on the same principle that one artesian
well may be sunk on a lower level than
another, and diminish OF even dry up its
flow, yet the owner of the upper we'll
has no recourse at law. The question is
fraught with immense importance to
Southern California, and the result will
be watched with great interest.

GOOD WAYS TO USE COLD BISCUITS.

GOOD WAYS TO USE COLD BISCUITS.
l. Cut into slices about o half-inch
thick, put in the oven aud toast brown
on both sides, putin dish and pour over
enough bailed sweet milk to nearly
cover them, let stand few moments,
then take out of the milk and serve with
sauce. They make really nice
dessert. 2. Break the biscuits into
crumbs, put in saucepan, pour over
them enough warm water to soften them,
set the saucepan on the fire until the
crumbs are thoroughly soaked, sweeten
to your taste, flavor with nutmeg or es-
sonce of any kind preferred, add a little
salt, a small piece of butter and an egg,
beaten light; when the egg is done, take
up, put in dessert plates and serve with
sauce. A good way to use stale light
bread is to slice it, beat four eggs, little
salt aud two tablespooufuls of sugar to-
gether, dip the bread in this and fry in
hot fat. A good way to use cold rice
is to mix just enough warm water with
it to separate every grain, add pepper
and salt to taste, break in a few eggs,
and fry in little hot fat. Tomatoes are
very nice if boiling water is poured over
them, the skins removed, the tomatoes
sliced and placed in saucepan, with a
little water and enough molasses or sugar
added to make them sweet, letting them
cook until the syrup gets quite thick

Cleaning Stained Books.

Often, through careessness, the pages
Of valuable books become stained. An
old grease spot may be removed by ap-
plying solution of caustic potash to the
back of the leaf, This may cause the
printing to fade, but that can be re-
stored by a weak application of muriatic
acid-about twenty-five parts of water
to one of acid. A fresh spot is removed
easily by chloroform or benzine, aud ink
spots disappear by au application Of
oxalic acid and hot water, which will also
take off rust spots.--Nem York Telegram.
