The Result Of Experiments Made by John I.

The success OF the olive in some parts Of
California has caused fruit growers In
various sections Of the State TO experiment
with view to ascertaining just where the
trees do well and thrive best. Possibly no
man In the bay counties has had more ex-
perienee with the olive than John l..
Beard of Warm Springs. who has planted
the trees in different parts of the county
aud paid careful attention to their wants.

A Meal Grant Esjoyed.

An unpublished story of General Grant
was told yesterday at the Grand Pacific
by Paul Cores:
81 was steward at the Palmer House, "
he said, "when the ex- President stopped
there on his return from the tour of the
world. One noon 1 was all but stupefed
at seeing General Grant creep into the
kitchen door, as though escaped from
some one. Il am sorry to trouble you,
he said, as though asking great favor,
but may I have little corned beef and
cabbage2' why, certainly l replied.
But shall not send it to you out in the
dining rooma' No. he answered, I'll
eat it right here, If You let me sit down
at this table, So cleared away place
on the rough board table, where the cook
had been fixing the meat, drew up stool
and the way he got away with that corned
beef and cabbage made my eyes bulge.
When J." had finished he laid down his
knife and FORK and with funny sigh of
satisi; ctiol, put one hand on my shoulder
and said, Young maD, I suppose you
don't care for that at all, but if you had
had to eat what I have for the past few
months it would taste ike dinner for
the gods The poor old fellow had
dined with everybody from the Queen
down, and that cabbage in my kitchen
did him more good than all the rest
together. Chicago News.

ODD IDEAS OF DRESS.

The Ruthenian woman Of Poland has
some odd ideas of dress. The material is
usually of coarse linen. Her gown, which
is in reality her chemise, is open from
neck to knees, and is belted in loose folds
about the waist. Another curious and
distinguishing article of dress is her
wooden apron. She is never without
this, but it is worn behind, never in
front. She has no stockings or other
garments, but her feet are shod like her
husband's-with pointed and laced moe
casins. Her head in winter and summer
is always bound in gaudy handkerchief,
but she possesses no other article of cloth
ing whatever, except sheepskin coat
for winter use. What she lacks next
skin she makes up in ornamentation.
have counted, writes Edgar L. Wake
man, more than a score of brass rings on
the fingers of her two hands. Her ear
rings If hollow brass would hold enough
oil to light the family fireside for an
evening, and her necklace of glass or
imitation coral beads, coiled half dozen
times about her by no means charming
neck, is always yards in length. New

CLEANSING BLANKETS.

There are numerous variations in the
methods employed for the cleansing of
blankets, the first to be described being
by the use of ammonia. When the
blankets are ready for washing, pour
into the bottom of the dry tub half a
pint of the usual household ammonia
water, and over it lay the blanket light
ly. Then Immediately pour over suf6-
cient warm water to entirely cover the
article. This sends the fumes of the
ammonia through the fibres Of the
blanket and loosens the dirt in wonder
full manner. The cloth should be pressed
and stirred about in the liquid Tor a
time, then remove to another tub con-
tanning simply warm water. of about the
same temperature as that first employed,
and again soused about for time; after
which it is to be lightly run through a
wringer and directly hung to dry. The
same method of treatment is to be pur.
sued with each blanket, and the suds are
not to be used a second time. Probably
this is one of the most economical
methods which can be employed, and the
least taxing to the physical strength.
Unless the blanket is very dirty, one
treatment will give perfectly satisfac-
tory result. If there are spots a gentle
rubbing between the hands will usually
free them from dirt.-New York Re-
corder.

CAN'T READ A NEWSPAPER.

Queen Victoria isn't allowed to handle
a newspaper of any kind, or a magazine,
or letter from any person except from
her own family, and no member of the
royal family or household is allowed to
speak to her of any piece of news in any
publication. All the information the
Queen is permitted to have must first be
strained through the intellect of man
whose business is to cut out from the
papers each day what he thinks she
would like to know.
These scraps he fastens on a silk
sheet, with gold fringe all about it, and
presents it to her unfortunate Majesty.
The silken sheet with gold fringe is
imperative for all communications to the
Queen.
Any one who wishes to send the Queen
personal poem or communication of
any kind Except personal letter, which
the poor lady isn't allowed to have at ally
must have it printed in gilt letters on
one of these silk sheets with q gold
fringe, just so many inches wide and no
wider, ali about it.
These gold trimmings will be re-
turned to him in time as they are expen-
sive, and the Queen is kindly and
thrifty, but for the Queens presence
they are imperative. e.-Fsshion Blzar.

WASHING LAMP CH1MNEYs.

Where lamps are used exclusively for
Lighting a house, lamp chimneys are
quite an item of expense, and any hint
on how to prevent their breakage will be
welcome to all who have been troubled
in that way. I have seen two or three
in succession broken in one evening, IN
what was then to me the most unac-
countable way. Our lamp merchant said:
"Don't wash your chimneys, but wipe
them clean with dry cloths" That set
me thinking. 1t is the damp then that
does it, said to myself. Why should
that BET By a course Of reasoning I
came to the conclusion that If the Chin
neys absorb moisture and are damp in
anywise when lighted, steam is soon
generated in the pores, and we all know
what steam does, an explosion occurs.
That is why the chimneys fly 80 when
they break. If you must wash them,
dry them thoroughly in the sun or near
the stove or furnace before using. Chin
neys kept in the kitchen get damp on
washdays. and should be wiped before
using.-Brooklyn Citizen.

A GOOD PREPARED MUSTARD.

Use four tablespoonfuls of the best
English mustard, two tablespoonfuls OF
salad oil, two teaspoonfuls OF white
sugar, two teaspoonfuls of salt, one tea.
spoonful of white pepper, one small
garlic minced very fine, and vinegar to
mix to smooth psste. Put the mustard
into a bowl and add the oil, rubbing it
in with wooden spoon until it is all ab-
sorbed.
Wet with the vinegar until you have
stiff paste; add the salt, pepper, garlic
and sugar, and work all together
thoroughly, wetting little by little with
the vinegar until you can beat it as you
do cake batter. Beat five minutes very
hard; put into wide-mouthed bottles
empty French mustard bottles are the
thing, if you happen to have them-pour
little oil on the top, cork tightly and
set away in q cool place. 1t will be well
mixed and ready for use in a couple OF
days.-St. Louis Star-Sayings.

How TO SERVE ASPARAGUS.

Few vegetables can be served in more
ways than asparagus, and some OF the
nice dishes that can be prepared of it are
given by the Housekeepers' Weekly.
For Boiled Asparagus-Tie a bunch
and plunge in boiling salt water. When
tender, which will be in from twenty
minutes to half an hour, remove from the

asparagus till tender, cut in small pieces,
and put in well buttered deep pie plate.

oven till the eggs are cooked, and serve
at once.
Asparagus Fritters-Boil the asparagus
until tender. Dip each piece in fritter
batter and fry. Eat very hot with butter

Let it become perfectly cold. Then add
a prepared salad dressing and serve at
once. Or, mix the asparagus with q
French dressing made of three table.
spoonfuls of oil, one of vinegar, a little

the salad should be placed on the ice for
one or two hours before using.

ABSURD HEAD-DREsS.

Stewart, the great hairdresser, says:
"At no period in the history of the world
was anything more absurd in head-drsss
worn than at the close Of the Eighteenth
Century. The body of these monuments
of ugliness was formed Of tow, over
which the hair was turned and false hair
added in great curls, bobs and ties, and
powdered TO profusion, then hung all
over with vulgarly large rows OF pearls or
glass beads, fit only to decorate chan
delier. Flowers as obtrusive were stuck
about this heap of finery, which was sur
mounted by broad silkeu bands and
gres. ostrich feathers, until the head
dress of lady added three feet to her
stature" Imagine the discontinue of
people who attended the play and wished
to view the stage! Three feet Of fnery

There 1s more catarrn In this section Of the

constitutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,

LITTLE FOLKS FASHIONS.

Children's cambria dresses are made in
simple styles which may be easily laun-
dried. A little more embroidery is used
than last season. Very frequently full
ruf1e of the dress material, about four
inches deep finishes the neck of blouse
dresses. Black velvet sashes of ribbon
about two inches wide are used on small
children's dresses, and they often begin
on the shoulder, 60 down to the waist
line, where they cross directly in front
and pass around to the back where they
are tied in a bow, with ends.-A

A CONVENIENT VELVET BODICE.

A velvet bodice, made slightly open at
the throat, with velvet sleeves also
slightly open, is most useful addition
to a woman's wardrobe. Net or lace
sleeves set in full below the velvet sleeve
can be changed at will to match various
styles and tints of neckdressing. Lace
or folds of chiffon or net are lightly ar
ranged to outline the opening of the
throat. Crossed folds of crepe de chine
can also be used to raise the bodice front
to any desired height, while the dressy
appearance of the V outline yet remains.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
HANDY TO HAVE ABOUT THE HOUSE.

HANDY TO HAVE ABOUT TIE HOUSE.
Few people realize the value of salt.
1t can be used in many ways about the
house and is indispensable as medi.
cine. A little salt rubbed on cups will
take off tea stains. If put in whitewash
it will make it stick better. Used as
tooth powder it will keep the teeth
white and the gums hard and rosy.
Salt and water Is one of the best gargles
for sore throat and is a preventive of
diphtheria if taken in time. Salt and
water will clean willow furniture, If ap.
piled with brush and then rubbed dry.
if held in the mouth after having tooth
extracted it will stop the bleeding.
Calico and all prints will hold their color
and look brighter if rinsed IN salt water:
Silk handkerchiefs and ribbons should
be washed in salt water and ironed while
wet, to obtain the best results.-Dan-

FASHION NOTES.

For skirt and blazer white pique is o
preferred fabric.
Yachting suits of burnt sienna are con.
sidered very natty.
Corded challies sprinkled with flowers
are summer novelty.
All white costumes are to be more pop
ular this season than ever.
Field thistles nod from the top of the
most fashionable chapeaux.
Fine cloth with close outstanding cords
of contrasting color is much seen in the
shops.
Mantles are made in the visite form,
and are of fine cloth in light brown,
electric blue or terra Gotta.
Hats are mass of flowers these days,
and the art of initiating nature is fruit
full of most charming results.
Short sleeves have again returned for
dinner and theatre toilettes. Sometimes
lace is ruffled at the top of the gloves,
and often gold bracelets set with prec-
ious stones are worn on the arms.
One of the most distinguished and
stylish costumes of the season is lus-
trous black silk gown,jet trimmed, with
tan parasol, tan suede gloves and tan.
colored velvet ''calf leather" shoes.
A tea gown recently seen was of old
rose bengaline, trimmed elaborately with
embroidery, the front made loose, the
back en- Watteau, full frill about the
throat and point lace edging the sleeves.
The Eton jacket has been sadly abused
by foreigners in its makeup. Some.
times q garment is called that when it
has long coattails, whereas the veritable
s'Eton" should not come below the
waist.
A pretty tea gown recently worn was
of heliotrope crepon, made with close
fitting coat back, opening over a front
of yellow trimmed with gold and pearls,
the sleeves pendant, with rufaed under
sleeves.
A Russian coat to be worn for travel
ing is made of green cloth, drawn into
the waist with leather belt, the sleeves
ending in band at the wrist, and en-
broidered like the collar, in blue, yellow
and red, large buttons and loops of yel.
low fastening it down the front.
Fur is as much used on evening
dresses as in midwinter, and especially
on the new changeable velvets. A hem
of fur borders the skirt and defines the
neck and sleeves. Chinchilla, otter,
blue fox and black fox are the furs used.
Neither flowers nor ribbons may be worn,
but bertha of lace frequently falls be-
low the fur.
The outside of some of the new pocket
books represents more value than the in
side. White ivory and white kid with
silver or gold mountings, gray suede
with covering of woven steel, ano
lizard skin in dull green with gold fill
gree decoration are among the novelties.
Heart-shaped purses are newest, and in
every case the purses must match the cos
tune.
Satin, it is is one of the "coming"
materials. Black satin hats and bonnets,
wraps and gowns are decidedly fashion
able abroad. At the same time they are
extremely trying, and to many women
exceeding unbecoming. There is a
hardness about black satin which can be
comprehended only by profusion OF
rich jet trimmings, lace, passementerie,
chiffon OF something similar.
