Surprising results are obtained IN
these lands where man is his own
rainmaker, for the soil is Of the
richest, and once the irrigation sys.

ruption by drought. The mapnifl.
cent crops of corn, alfalfa, wheat

yields Of fruit and the possibility Of
uninterrupted pasturage for cattle
have given a great impetus to irrira-

THE FATALIsTIc TURK.
How lie Braves Death at the Holy city
OF His Faith.

How lie Braves Death at the Holy city
OF His Faith.
The accounts given by the pilgrims
Of the way in which cholera attacked
them are terrible in their grim
fatalism, slys the London Spectator.
June "a, two days before the Cour1an
Bairam, upward Of 100, 600 Mussul-
mans, Arabs, Turks, and Indians had
gathered on the sacred mount to
hear the solemn address which is de-
livered to those who wish to become
hadj Many Of these people were in
the most wFetched condition, and
some had not even a loaf of bread.
1t was here that the disease APP
pears to have struck them, like the
blast of a poisoned wind. When
next day the onward movement to
the holy city began it was found that
the ground was strewn like a battle
field with the dead and dying, and
so terribly virulent was the type of
Infection thus engendere1 that it
was, says the account impossible for
any living creature to approach the
place.
The authorities seem, however, to
have realized that something must
be done, and that the bodies could
not be left to rot. Accordingly,
Turkish regiment was sent to per
form the work Of burial and to re-
move any of the pilgrims who still
lived. Never did troops in the heat
Of battle receive a command more
fraught with peril. The risk, as it
proved, was literally greater than
that Of facing machine guns, and the
moral effect was far more terrible.
There are ten men who will face
death by bullets to one who will face
death by cholera Yet these Turk sh
soldiers, with the fatalistc courage
of their race, obeyed as they obeyed
at Plevna.
The battalion, when it reached the
mount, was 700 strong. After the
work had been done 200 men only re-
manned to go back to the coast. Five
hundred of the soldiers had died of
cholera. That is, nearly three-quar-
ters Of the regiment persisted in the
work of burial. No doubt English
troops would have been upheld by
many considerations-by religious
feeling and by the instinct of mercy,
and they would, moreover have been
we'll fed.
The Turkish troops probably felt
the sense Of pity very little, and
their officers were almost certainly
men with anything but a high sense
of conduct. They acted merely from
the most naked sense Of the duty of
not finching at a command. 1t was
an order given from afar and from
above, and that and fate are to them
all one.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Right Way to Boil Rice.

These are the directions for boiling
rice sent out by the Louisiana Rice
Exhibit at New Orleans; Pick your
rice clean and wash it in two cold
waters, not draining off the last water
till you are ready to put the rice on
the fire. Prepare a saucepan with
water and little salt. When il
boils sprinkle in the rice gradually so
as not to stop the boiling. Boil hard
for twenty minutes keeping the pot
covered. Then take it from the back
of the fire and pour off the water,
after which set the pot on the back
OF the stove 70 allow the rice to dry
and grains to separate. Remember
to boil rapidly from the time yon
cover the pot until you take it Of;
this allows each grain TO swell to
three times its normal ST c, and the
motion prevents the grains from
st licking together Don't stir it, as
this will cause it to fall to the bot
tom and burn. When properly boiled
ri e should be snowy white, perfectly
dry, soft, and every grain separate.

Cut round of beef into four pieces.
Rub each piece lightly with salt on all
sides and let it stand one day before
corning. Make brine from one tub
OF water, haif pound Of sugar, a
teaspoonful of powdered saltpetre and
salt until the brine will float an egg.
Put the meat into this brine and al
low il to remain two weeks. Cover it
carefully and look at it frequently.
See that the brine covers the meat; if
not, make a little more from salt and
water and add to it. At the end of
the two weeks take out the meat and
hang it in cool place to dry. It may
be smoked, but many think this destroys
the flavor - New York World.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Never put salt on steak until after
it is cooked.
Rub ereaking hinge with very
soft lead pencil.
Mend the torn pages of books with
white tissue paper.
Mortar and paint may be removed
from glass with hot, sharp vinegar.
In packing gowns they will befound

Keep the piano closed at night and
in damp weather; open on bright days
and let the sun shine on the keys, as
the light will keep them from turning
yellow.
In purchasing canned goods it is a
safe rule to observe whether the head
Of the can is concave, bullying APP
pearance being indicative of decompo
sition.
Lemon will do for the yellow white
sailor hat what shoe polish does for
the worn black one Remove the rib

Lay thick piece of Canton flannel

restly over the bare table top.
A good broom handle may be made
by putting two large screws-nails

inches apart. Drop the broom be-
tween them, handle downward.
Bath bags are filled with almond
meai, bran, orris root or crushed Law
ender flowers, with borax or shaved

water when not in actual service.
In cases of illness where the burn

said that a teaspoonful of glycerine
