Comforts Of To-day.

Housekeeping has lost most of the ter
rors which formerly beset it. Years ago,
1t required no small expenditure to fur
nish even modest home. Many utensils
were necessary to prepare food for the
table, and skill to use them was not al
ways possessed by the young wife. But
Il couple may now set up for themselves
with very few utensils, scarcely any pro-
visions, and next to no knowledge OF
cookery. A gas or oil stove takes the
place of the costly and cumbrous cooking
range. Coffee is bought not only parched
but ground. Spices and pepper come all
prepared for use. Every kind of bread,
cake, and pastry can be purchased at
slight advance on the cost of the mater
ials they contain. If one wishes the
sport of making them, self-raising flour
may be obtained in any grocery. Fruits
of all kinds ready for the table can be
purchased about as cheaply as that which
must be prepared. Not only Holsters and
other shell fish, but salmon, may be
bought cooked and ready to be served at
price but little above what the crude
articles cost; and cooked corned beef,
tongue, pigs feet and ham have long
been on the market. There are also
canned soups, that only need to be diluted,
mince meat, all ready to put between pie
crusts, and roast meats and fowls of all
descriptions. Some grocers keep musb
prepared for frying, Baked beans and
English plum pudding are also put up in
cans; all sorts of vegetables are to be had
in the same way; and laundries do the
washing and ironing. 1t is no longer
oecessary to be cook, or to have cook,
to keep house. 1t is even practical now
FOR the novice to dispense with cook
book, as the label on every can tells how
to treat the contents. Surely women need
no longer complain that the labors of
housekeeping keep them from cultivating
their minds, nor young men who are
fond of their ease shrink from the bur-
dens formerly borne by their patient and
iong-suffering fathers. For marketing"
is also thing of the past; alert trades
men present themselves at your door and
solicit from the house mistress orders
which are promptly filled, and with the
payment of the bill-never an unjust
one, so brisk is competition in this line
your responsibility begins and ends.

INJURED; the corners of her mouth were
Lwitching.
"My train!" said Mr. Lamb, getting to
his stout legs with no small effort.
'Well, l have not the heart to drag you
along, Gordon. It's too warm; and
there's another considerations moro
powerful one. l doubt whether you'd go
II wanted you to" said Mr.. Lamb, with
rumbling laugh, and he made the labor
lous bow of a fat man and boarded his
train alone.
"Surely, Mrs. Field" said John Cor
don, turning his honest, bright eyes upon
her, you are not going to Ripley? You
wouldn't think of such thing? You'll
give it up, Mrs. Field, you certainly will?"
Aunt Paulina looked him over from
bead to foot. Did she smile?
Marion almost thought she did. At
any rate she looked calm and benignant.
Il think 1 shall give it up" she re-
sponded. II think it seems advisable. "
"Ill run and call cab," John Gordon
said, joyfully. Cor wait-wont you take
drive with me, Mrs. Field? Let me get
a carriage and take you and Miss Taylor
for drive. For the breeze, you know.
Say yes, Mrs. Field !"
But he was off before Aunt Paulina
could say yes.
1t was during that drive that their en-
gagement was announced, and we'll re-
ceived.
Marion loved her Aunt Paulina, and
was scrupulously respectful to her ever;
and the true history of that Ripley plan
she never divulged.
When her lover would say obviously,
And your Aunt Paulina positively dis
liked me at first, Marion!" she would
merely answer
But who could dislike you long, John,
dear?"

Who Invented ThimbIes.

and found half a dozen gold and silver
thimbles of the most approved modern
pattern.
Since then several thimbles have been
discovered in the Egyptian catacombs, in
mummy cases antedating the Christian
era fifteen to eighteen centuries.
So how old is the thimble, or by whom
it was invented, are questions that can
not be answered. The name is believed to
be perverson of thumbell. as the thlm
BILE was formerly worn on the thumb.
The manufacture of thimbles was in,

SO 1T IS TRUE.

Here's friend who says that sorrey
Comes to-day or comes Tomorrow.
Here's a longface who is moaniA!
Tell him death is far away!
Let dull age go weep and pray:
Heed not grief, the ghost there croanfn~,
Who would cloud the jocund day!
All, they say that anguish found them,
Men cut down with battle round them
Clear the boys there gayly singingD
In some r"gion far awayi
What care we who laugh to-day?
Bring no tears. what'er you're bringing:
Honor to the jocund day!
WHAT'S that sound that cools our laughter?,
What's that form that follows after?
Funeral music sadly sounded
One more man is turned to clay
Let dull age go weep and prayl
Youth by death was nc'er confoundcd.
Long shall shine our jocund day!
Oh, my dear one, to my weeping
Marble silence sternly keeping,
Lying there in breathless blindness
Death is never far away.
Even youth can weep and pray!
Lips that loved have lost their kindness:
Dead are they. this bitter dayi

to ask one to their table. That on calling

THE LOVERS QUARREL.

Something had been done, or spoken,
Or. percbance. some promise broken
Little matter what it was!
Fate designed it. and behind it
Lay, concealed, sufficient cause.
Sullenly the heavens lowered,
Angrily tae shadows glowered
Der the thirsting. sunburnt plain;
And the glouting wind went t1outing
Through the dry and dropping rain.
Hoarse, ill-humored voices mumbled;
Louder. louder rolled and rumbled;
Shrieking winds in fury rose;
Binding flashes, deaf'ning crashes,
Told the frenzy of the foes.
Hark! That bitter-sweet atoningl
Madison is turned to moaning,
And the loud contensions cease.
Love is calling. tears are falling
Tears; the harbingers of peace.

Earth is brighter, hearts are lighter,
Since the storm is come and gone.

use Of yeast, while the cakes were light yet there was always

County superintendent, l.. D. Brooke
was in the city the first part of the
week. BY the way, Mr.. Brooke is
making himself felt in the schools of
this county. He is a man whose ideas
OH school work are good. He is a care
fnl student of the best modern ideas
OF school work and adapts them to the
work in this county as far as practic-
able: 1t is somewhat early to begin to
talk politics or candidates for Office,
but the STAR believes that Fall River
county will act wisely If it should re-
tain Mr.. Brooke for another term. He
is fast becoming familiar with the
schools and teachers and IS better able
to successfully manage the educational
affairs OF the ccunty than ever before.
The STAR has heard no criticism os
him, Of bis work. but it would not be
surprising if he had lun counter to the
idea Of others. So far the affairs of
the county superintenaent's Office have
been managed fearlessIy, impartially
and capably and that should command
the support of all men interested in
the advancement of educational affairs
of this county.

REPORTS FROM THE MINES
Prospectors are Returning from
the Mineral Districts.

THE MINES AND THE MINERS
News from Priest Lake, SLOGAN Grouse
Mountain, Boulder, Goat River
and other tributary points.
THE MINES AND THE MINERS

4 hO lSpOl W tudt l6dCu us from
the Priest Lake mining district
show that the country has as yet
only been run overby prospectors,
and that as careful searching is
now being done, new and valuable
locations of mineral deposits are
being made almost daily which
have heretofore existed unknown.
Several of our citizens who have
been in the Priest River district
have returned and report that the
time for the prospector to turn his
attention to that section has but
just arrived.
The fires of the past month on
the mountains have done more to
aid in the search for precious met
ais than could the work of armies
of men.
The surface of the ground laid
bare as it is, with neither brush
nor moss to hide the deposits and
float that indicate the presence Of
mineral, offers to the prospector an
aspect tempting IN the extreme.
The road to this district has been
surveyed and the distance from the
river to the cente % the district
found to be only a fraction over
eighteen miles. The grade is easy
and with small outlay the mines
can be brought within easy access
Of shipping facilities.
The Smith claims, which are the
most prominent in the district at
present, are at the head of the mid
die fork Of Boundary creek, and
not on Bear creek as has been
reported.
About four miles to the north
west from the source of the north
fork of Boundary creek, and just
over the divide toward the head of
Priest river, some valuable copper
deposits have recently been discov-
cred of a very high grade, and if
found in quantities, will add much
to the mining interests of the Priest
river district.
Messrs. R. L. Cheney, John Mas
sam, Jack Cooper, Chas. Gamble,
Sill Fallon and A. d. Walker have
been for month past in this dis
trict, and though they report some
rather unpleasant experiences, on
the whole they feel satisfied with
the trip. They found plenty of
fish, fowl and game; also large
quantities of berries, and judging
from the appearance of most Of
them they exercised no modesty
in the way in which they disposed
