Spite Driving as a Fine Art.

The sun-kissed commuter who
crosses the ferries has an intimate ac-
auaintanceship with the huge derricks
and their ever rising ever falling ham
mers. But few, even of these birds
of passage, know about the require
ments of the "fnal drive" The Spite
is first pulled up on end and allowed
to fall with rush with one end into
the ooze. Then it is ridden" for
awhile; that is, hauled up a bit and
allowed to settle by its own weight,
being worked down until it will stand
by itself. Then the driver is placed
over it and down comes the block with
huge thump. This is continued time
after time. At first there is no re-
bound, but as the resistance becomes
more and more the block begins to
rebound in proportion until what is
known as "the final drive" occurs.
In almost every contract the rebound
called for on this is -four inches.
That is, when the resistance of the
pile is so great that the weight will
lump backSthose four inches the Spite
is believed to be so securely implanted
that nothing but an earthquake or an
ocean steamer will dislodge it, and
this is generally the case. New York

Not all the herOism Of which West
orn women are capable comes along
the line of startling reforms or new
denartures in customs of living. Inc
EVERYDAY experiences of many 'front.'
icr woman are not less notable. Such
was the case with Mrs. Mclean, who,
with her husband, settled on the
Nebraska frontier early in the Jus.
Her bravery is yet told of by the cat
1lemen who then drove their great
herds up through the Platte bottoms.
Her husband had with great diff
rulty gotten together a bunch OF
COWS, about fifty in all, and was en-
deayoring to start little herd in or
der to rescue his family from the
poverty which hung over the claim.
Mrs. Mclean had the herding OF
them, as we'll as the care OF the
house. One day, when her husband
had gone twenty miles to the store,
she was compelled to leave the cattle
grazing while she looked after sick
baby at home. Suddenly she saw
two men ride from behind the hills
and start the cattle off full canter,
abductlng the whole bunch. She
wasted not minute, but, mounting
her bronco, was after them.
The men evidently thought them
selves undiscovered, and in the hustle
of hurrying on the stock did not hear
the pattering hoofs of the pursuer's
pony as she came cantering up be-
hind. Suddenly one of the men gave
a yell and tumbled backward off his
saddle, with the moose of a lariat
tight around his throat. Frightened,
the other turned to see a furious
woman facing him. says writer in
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"What are you doing?" she demand
ed, fiercely.
"Who are you?" he responded, with
equal grulfness.
81 own these cattle, and you have
got to help me drive them back where
you got them"
As she held a cooked revolver to-
ward his head he decided to submit,
and, with her following closely, rode
around the scattered herd and turned
their heads homeward. For three
miles the stock was driven, and then,
with warning not to look backs
ward, the depredator was dismis ed.
He fed without backward glance.
His companion, choked to death
and with neck broken, was found on
the prairie, but there was never any
inquiry as to the manner of his TAX
ing off. 1t was enough in those days,
as it is now, to know that he had
been engaged in cattle stealing. For
such the prairies have scant pity.

Novel Pumping Plant.

Manuel f. de Costa, who resides six
miles south of Sacramento on the
Riverside road, has built an ingeni-
GUS machine for irrigating his flower
garden and his orange and lemon trees.
1t consists of wooden wheel ten feet
in diameter and with a rim or tire
about two feet wide. A dog is placed
inside the wheel, which is turned by
his weight as he gallops in treadmill
fashion. The revolution of the axle
turns a crank which operates the
handle of pump set in a dug we'll.
After half an hours exercise the dog ia
taken out and fresh dog put in for
another half hour.
The dogs seem to enjoy the work,
for they bark and wag their tails
when they are brought to the wheel.
They know that it means something
good to eat at the end of the half
hours ork.-Sacramento lCal. Bee.

Some Facts About Australia.

Australia is a compact island con-
tinent about 9, 800 miles lopg, east and
west, by 1000 miles wide, north and
touth, with an area OF nearly 5000. 600
SQUARE miles; that is, moro than
twenty-six times as large as Great
britain and ireland. 1t was discovered
bv Capt. Cook in ITO. The first colony,
New South Wales, was founded in
l7sS. Australia enjoys a singularly
eouable climate 1t lies mostly in the
temperate zone, and is generally hot,
dry, and salubriou-. Above the tropic
line it is healthy, but very dry and hot,
but during the rainy season heavy
&ownpours occur. Summer months are
October to March; winter months May
10 August. Australia yields all kinds
of pastoral and agricultural products;
also coal, gold, silver, and all kinds OF
minerals. The present population Is

THE REPRESENTATION ON EARTH

1t Is generally conceded that the
happiest people on earth, as whole
are the French They are happy, be
cause they are contented, and one
Conspicuous reason why they are con
tented is because the great mass of
them live in their own homes. Not
more than 80 per cent. of the French
people rent the quarters they live in.
They are, indeed the best sheltered
people in the world. Though there
are only 100000 Of them. they have
100000 dwelling houses. This, as
will readily be seen, provides a house
for every 429 persons. another con
spicuous exhibition OF French thrift
Ia America, in 1892, there were 5.24
persons to every dwelling, forty years
before, or in 1850, 4.94, or nearly six
people to every dwelling. and yet in
France the population Is much more
dense than in this country There
are on an average 1871 people to each
square mile, while in the United
States there are but u, and in the
North Atlantic states only 1O7 to the
square mile. In the United States,
in 1890, only A. Of the farms and hCus
es altogether were owed by the occu-
pants, the remaining 81. per cent. be
ing occupied by tenants and those Oc-
cUpying the same at rental. OF the
homes in American cities and villages
632 per cent. are rented houses.

The secret of seldom wanting new
things is to keep the old ones well mend

showed me a shelf where she kept what
she called patches"
There were little cans of different

The kitchen hearth was never allow

Picture frames whose enamel had
yellowed received Il new coat. The

were enameled and picked out with

The handsome Chinese umbrella rack

Many a costly vase might be mended

used as bric-a-brac no one would be the
wiser. a good cement for broken china
may be made by beating the white of

ounce of gum arabic may be dissolved in
a gill of boiling water and thickened
with plaster of paris.

STUPID AND SELFISH.

Marianne North quotes, in her
Further Recollection of a Happy
Life" some amusing instances OF
Turkish stupidity told her by Pasha
in military command at Beyrut. He
said that he had once accepted an of
fer Of breakfast from a rich man. who
knew the ways of the world. and
thought himself quite a Frenchman.
The servants spread a clean table
cloth on the ground; then they brought
handsome inlaid table, which they
laid on the table cloth, but upside
down with its legs in the air. A tray
of good things followed. and this was
balanced Oh the tops of the legs.
Another old Turk who was shown a
fine portrait said only:
Yes, it is like, but is not the EN-
broidery on the back of his coat equal
ly beautiful? Why not paint that in
/ toO?"
/ Another seeing a piano, asked what
that great box was for. His hostess sat
down and began to play to him.
"MushdIIdhr he exclaimed, and
after deep reflection announced tha
that woman must be worth at leas
sixty thousand piastres.
One day the Pasha saw an old gentle
man looking quite inconsolable, anc
was told that he had just lost beau
tiful and favorite daughter. He at
tempted to comfort the man, but The
father replied:
