CHAPTER III.

Frederika was now fairly established
as one of the inmates of her great
aunt's household. As she had hoped,
a real affection for the old lady was
growing upon her, which would prob
ably be the more lasting, founded as it
was on respect and esteem, and not the
mere impulse of a moment.
There were some things pretty hard
to bear in their intercourse with each
other, for Mrs. Derrickson was not
one to give up the battle without a
struggle. 1t seemed almost essential
ines by throwing out constant little re-
proaches and hints to Frederika IN re-
gard to her headstrong independence.
The latter soon made up her mind to
consider these as so many evidences of
affection; and having the approval of
her own conscience, she quietly pur-
sued the even tenor of her way.
Several weeks had passed, and Mrs.
Derrickson was convinced by her
nieoe's steady application to business,
that she was not influenced by the
passing whim of an hour, but that a
long settled purpose of independence
was the main spring of her daily
work,
One morning the old lady came down
after breakfast arrsyed in her hand
some walking attire, and announced
her intention of going over to the City
on business. She declined all offers OF
the young people to accompany her.
being almost offended at the inference
that she needed anyone.
She left Frederika in the sitting
roera busy at her embroidexx. vhila

| She must do something to drive
away the thoughts that would come
! fitting into her mind; of the possibility
that was vanishing from her, Just as she
was begini lug to appreciate its value;
of the sting which her hasty words had
given, and whose result had only been
discovered to her on this strangest OF
DAYS.
The mehnest drudgery seemed most

therefore, her excitement gradually

thing was ready, SIZE was pretty well
exhausted, having neglected her own
dinner. AS evening approached, she

footstep in the hall, but no sooner did
she hear it, than she was down on her
knees raking the fire, as if her life de.

"Frederika," he said, and it wa:

any longer?

could not enjoy her supper, and though

boil over, it did not spoil the favor
of all they were saying to each other in
I between. How he had loved her with

HOW TO HELP THE DOCTOR

A well known doctor once complain
ed to the writer that he had the great
est trouble when treating sick children
in getting any lucid and helpful resume
of their symptoms from day TO day
from the mother. Here is a case in
point" said he. "a few days ago a
young mother came to me about her
little boy, who had what she called
pathetic little cough Now pathos in
a cough is a symptom of which pathol-
ogy takes to note. So | asked more
definite particulars. What kind of a
cough is it?' 1 asked agsin.
L" oh, such a pathetic cough she
answered. But is it loose cough, or
a wheeling cough. or tight cough, or
bark cough?' persisted.
" I'm sure l don't know, she said,
sadly puzzled, but it is a sad little
cough. And that is fair sample OF
the way great many physicians find
themselves puzzled about babies. The
mothers or nurses seem to have so little
skill in interpreting their symptoms. ="
Women and mothers, this thing
ought not to be. A young mother
with first baby may find herself a
little puzzled for the first few weeks
to recognize the most striking symp-
toms in a bsby's illness, but she ought
soon to be able to make very intelligent
diagnosis of ordinary ills. She ought
to be able to tell whether the baby is
in acute pain or not, and in most cases
where the pain is located; whether his
cry is tired cry or a hungry one or a
sick one. She ought to be able to take
his temperature and his pulse beats as
accurately as physician, to discrimin-
ate his coughs and his way of breath
| ing. The condition of his bowels
should be significant to her also, and
even of his skin. These are all mat
ters that come with a little attention
in watching and a little knowledge
! in Interpretation and brains,

WHAT ARE DIATOMS?

DiSsoms have created great deal of
discussion among learned men, who at
one time declared them to be of animal
origin, and then turned round and
declared that they must be plants.
But what are diatoms? They are
microscopic objects, of exceeding hard
ness, found IN large quantity in many
places, and exhibiting a great variety
in form; So that thousands of forms
are seen under the magnlfylng glass,
of exquisite beauty and variety. They
have been dredged from the depths of
the sea, and they are found to form a
large part of bars and banks which
come from the deposits of rivers in
many parts of the world.
They are also found in great banks
or strata on the shore, especially in
Germany and in Holland, and, in our
own country, at Richmond, in Virgin
ia, where the bank is remarkable for
the variety and beauty of the species
contained in it, and extends for miles,
being In some places forty feet IN
1epth.
The original diatom is a single cell,
but 1t propagates, by self division, at
such a rate that thousand millions of
diatOms may be formed from one dia-
tom in a single month. The skeleton
of the growth is of hint, and indestruc-
tble, while the vital substance within
dies quickly.
For centuries these delicate, minute
shells having been accumulatory.
But what good are dlatoms?
They are now put to many uses. In
the first place they are extensively
used IN the manufacture of dynamite
for blasting, and for other purposes
not so Iraiseworthy.
Dynamite is nitro 9 lyceriDe, render
ed safer for handling by beng mixed
with this porous material. The hinty
earth takes up as much as three times
its weight of nitro -glycerine, without
becoming more than lamp to the
| touch.
Then the diatomite is used for max
ing the beautiful color called ultrama-
rine. This brilliant blue WAS formerly
very expensive, being made from a
stone called lapis-lazuli, which was rare
and valuable. Now, however, tons OF
lltramarIne are made from diatome.
For long time this diatomaceous
earth has been sold as a polishing
powder for metals and glass, and it is
used as glaze for pottery, as base
for colors, and for the manufacture of
sllicate paint, which is almost fire.
| proof.
1t Is also used for filtering purposes,
for lMltation stone-work, IN the manu-
/ iacture OF some kinds of soap and for
working up with India-rubber and
emery. For disInfectant purposes, -it
is used to hold carbOlic acid, and also
as substitute for animal charcoal.
Being an excellent non-conductor, it
is used as part of the compound for
coating steam pipes and boilers, tor
hre-prooing chimneys and retorts and
other such purposes.
There are many other uses which
might be specified, but we think we
have given enough to make us wonder
at the great store Of material laid up
by such infinitely small things, for
mans intelligence to use for his COM
fort and progress.

Take a glass and fill it up 10 the
brim, being careful that the meniscus
be concave; near it place pile oi
nickels. Then ask some amateur how
many nlckels can be put into the glass
without the water overfiowing. Every
one who is not familiar with the ex'
pertinent will answer that it will only
he possible to put one or two, whereas
it is possible to put IN considerable
number, even ten or twelve. AS the
pennies are carefully and slowly
dropped in, the surface of the liquid

convex, and one is surprised to what
an extent this convexity increases be

HE HAS RUN HIS DEPARTMENT WAY IN
SIDE OF TIE APPROPRIATIONS.
The Executive Committee of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition has ap.
proved by unanimous vote the report
of the Press and Printing Committee,
as to whether or not the expenses of
the Department of Publicity and Pro-
motion under Moses P. Handy, chief,
can be reduced without detriment to
the Exposition, in view of the fact that
other agencies have also been en-
ployed for the same purpose. The
committee finds that there has been an
actual expenditure of about GA per cent.
less than the original estimate of the
cost of the department, aud about 40
per cent. less than that estimate as re-
duced by the Finance Committe. The
conclusions of the committee, after a
full review of the work of the depart
ment, are that IL ''has been administer
ed with an intelligent comprehension
of the requirements of the Exposition,
on strictly business principles, and
with due regard alike to economy and
the highest efficiency. We believe that
! the expenses of the department cannot
be materially reduced at the present
time without detriment to the Exposi-
tion." The committee also says: "In
view of these facts we cannot but
express surprise at the perfection and
| thorOughness of the machinery thus
| organized"

Sacramentans should not lose sioht of
the fact that but few weeks hence the
Northern California Citrus Fair will open
III San Francisco. This city and county
can make splendid showing at the fair
II those having oranges, lemons, pome-
Grahates, persimmons, ETC., growing on
their premises Will but take the trouble
10 save their fruit tor exhibition.
II IS expected that a number Of public
spirited citizens viii shortly organize q
committee ana provide in some way for
the collection OF fruit. as il is feared that
otherwise the latter would not be forth
coming.
Among the contemplated features Of the
Sacramento exhibit is a tac simfIe Of the
state Capitol building, which would be a
very appropriate thing, and, if well exc
cuteu, very attractive feature Of the
show.
There will also be other handsome and
striking designs, and a great MANY
oranges Will be required in their prepafa-
Ioh- ~ Is, therefore, suggested that per-
sons having oranges and other citrus
Irillts, which they are willing to con-
lrlpute Tor these purposes, save not only
the larger and finer specimens. but also
9.'i- mes as an sizes can be used to
advantage IN decorative designs.
a company interested in promoting the
culture OF cirrus fruits in this coanty has
volunteered 10 contribute its present crop
Of oranges and lemons Tor the fair. The
prospect, therefore, OF Sacramento
County having one of the largest and
moss attractive displays aJ the citrus ex-
hlHition is Very encouraging.
While individuals may nave but few
trees cacn III their yards the whole num-
ber in this city viii amount to many
hundreds. Most OF the orange and lemon
trees are bearing very heavily this wear.
