Miss Carrie Brewer is the name Of an
intrepid young lady who teaches school
In Pine Flat, Fresno county. Having
finished her weeks labor in the school
room recently, she decided to attend a
dance at Stranger, eight miles away. She
built raft to float in the fume there,
intending to rideit to Hazelton's ranch.
When ready to start, she discovered that
the water had been drawn off Some of
the boys had learned Of her intended
trip and opened the water gate above,
thereby perpetrating mean trick. But
Miss Brewer was not to be cheated out of
dance by such Sharp practice, so she
started on foot toward Stranger, walk
ing over the eight inch plank on the
side of the fume. In the meantime the
boys had repented of their action and
turned the water into the hume again.
After floating six miles the raft over
took the young lady, who jumped in and
rode to Hazelton's ranch. where Stan
ger gentleman with team awaited her
arrival, and she attended the dance that
evening. Rural Press.

HAWAIIAN INQUIRY.

A champion Of Blount and the Admin
istration Testifies.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3d.. w. Reader
OF Cedar Rapids, Ia, was before the
Hawaiian investigating committee as a
jealous defender of the administration
and Blount. He was in Honolulu at
the time of the revolution. He declared
there was no occasion for the landing of
American troops; that everything was
quiet and peaceful and American inter-
eats were not endangered.
Reader also failed to see any excuse
for the declaration Of an American pro-
tectorate over the islands, except for the
purpose of preserving the Dole govern
ment. He declared the natives pre-
ierred native government. and as the
voters among them numbered about IL
to l white, he was of the opinion that
they should control. He did not think,
after the effort to subject the constitu-
ton, the queen should have been per-
mitted 10 continue her reign, but should
have been arrested and punished and
ner niece raised to The throne.

CrystaIlizing Flowers.

A writer remarks that the process OF
crystallizing flowers is simple and can be
satisfactorily accomplished by any one
who has artistic skill.
Arrange some basket forms of any de-
sired pattern with pliable copper wire
and wrap them with gauze. Into these
tie to the bottom violets, ferns, geranium
leaves-in fact, any flowers except full
blown roses--and sink them in q solution
Of alum of one pound to a gallon of water.
Wait until the solution has cooled, as
the colors will then be preserved in their
original beauty, and the crystallized
alum will hold them faster than when
formed in hot solution.
When you have light covering of
crystals that completely envelopes the ar
ticles, remove cheerfully and allow it to
drip for IL hours. These baskets make
unique ornament and long preserve
their freshness. Popular Science News.

Yellowstone Park.

Yellowstone park is the great geological
garden of this country. OF buffalo, which
have been almost exterminated elsewhere,
here are probably 400, or more than in all
the rest of the United States combined
OF antelope, also greatly reduced at the
west. here are probably 800, and of elk
fully $4,000 In the northern part are large
herds of mountain sheep; in the southern
moose are found. There are large numbers
of bears, beavers and other wild animals.
The increase of bears and pumas is such
that in the interest of the elk and the deer
it has been proposed that the military
force should thin out the carnivora, per-
haps by capturing them for the use Of
geological gardens. AS the elk only come
down in the valleys during the winter, the
flies driving them to the forest covered
heights in the summer. tourists usually
see nothing of them, so that it has been
proposed to fence in herd of them and
also one of buffalo for the edifcation of
summer visitors.
But the charm of the park is the free
roaming of these animals.-Boston Com
