HEARD AND OVERHEARD.
Facts and Fancies Jotted Down in the
Daily Note Book.

Daily Note Book.
People who don't know when they are
imposed on escape lots of worry, but
sometimes it is at the expense of physical
fiber.
The man who visits any town and goes
away and says that there are no know
able" people in it, is simply announcing
the fact that he was not eligible to good
society there.
There is a man in town who takes
box of candy home to- his wife in the
evening.
A business woman or rather she who
intends to become one has to learn that
business has its own exclusive methods.
Ball room manners may go in the count
ing room, but romance, sentiment, and
nonsense are like low necked dresses
and turbelows, out of place there. Be
womanly, feminine, if you will, but don't
be kittenish about business affairs; don't
try to tlirt with every man you are thrown
with in a business way. The sensible
ones don't appreciate it and you can't
afford to waste time with the other kind.
A great many Topeka girls have the
Madonna like brows to which the pres
ent style of wearing the hair is most be-
| coming.
A man I know says that when
woman does any creditable work she has
a hippodrome manner Of advertising it.
Still all the bareback riders and paper
hoop demolishers in the circus of life are
| not women.
The latest thing to give your gentle
men friends is a silver key ring and
! chain attached.
The man you are in love with some
times thinks you are a fool, and when
you come to think of it you know you are
| one.
Roses droop and fade, wither and die
but the thorns do business at the same
old stand the year round.
If you are determined to be q pessi-
mist, why not go live in cave by your
self?
1t is quite poetical occupation to lie
on the grass till the chiggers ind out you
are there, or, which is more to he point,
till you find out they are there.

CANNED VEGETABLES.
How Every Housewife May Have Little
Cannery In Her Kitchen.

How Every Housewife May Have Little
Cannery In Her Kitchen.
The fruits nowadays are for the most
part put up in glass jars, with patent
tops, as this mode means comparatively
little labor. But greatest success with
tomatoes, corn, peas and beans usually
comes to amateurs when tin cans are
employed. The soldering on of the tops
is the chief difficulty. An obiging cor
respondent of Home and Farm, how
ever, tells how one can have a little
canning establishment in the kitchen.
The first step is to get a soldering outfit.
Lay in supply of solder, resin and
small bottle of muriatic acid; also tin
cans, quarts or pints, as you may desire.
Saw off the top of an old broom handle
about 6 inches long for presser. When
you put the product on to cook, put on
also your wash boiler half full of water
This should be at the boiling point when
you are ready to fill the cans. Beans,
peas, corn and vegetables of this kind
must be we'll cooked, and everything
must be boiling hot when put in the can.
When you start to cook, put the end
of your soldering iron in the fire. Now
chip off a quantity of solder with a
chisel or Ratchet, put it near where you
will set your cans on the table. When the
fruit is ready, dip your cans in the hot
water. Of course no water must be left in
the can. Now take large dish or waiter
and put two or three cans on it. Go
to the stove and ladle the fruit from the
pot into your cans. Take them to the
table and wipe tops all clean. Now put
on the lids and scatter the Clipped SOL
der around the crease. Put on enough to
fill the crease.
Now get your soldering iron, wipe
! the ashes off the point, take your piece
of broom stick and press the lid down
firmly, run your soldering iron around
in the crease until all the solder is melt
ed. If your solder does not stick, put on
little rosin; if it still does not stick,
put Oh few drops of the muriatic acid
Muriatic acid will make solder stick to
any kind of metal When your soldering
iron does not melt the solder readily
and you are sure it is hot enough, put
five or six drops of the acid on board
and rub the point all over in it. It will
| then work When your cans are all seal
| ed, tumble them into your wash boiler
and let them boil hard for half an hour.
| Take them out and set in row on the
| table. In two or three minutes put your
ear close to each one, and if you can de-
tect the slightest kissing sound set the
can aside. I6 Will not keep. All which
are free fre2n this will keep for years.
With your soldering iron open the de-
fective can End put the contents back in
the pot for another trial. Keep your
fruit where 1T will not freeze. When you
want to use the fruit, use your solder
ing iron to open the can. Empty it i'm
mediately, wash with soap and hot wa
ter, dry and rub lard inside and outside,
heating it little so the lard will get
into all the crevices. Cans treated in
this way may be used for years.

rne Can1neE Organ.

Two large men pushed and pulled the
heavy cabinet organ through the door.
It was singular how, in doing so, they
could leave so much of the doors white
paint on the organ and so much of the
organs bright varnish on the door, but
they did, and were very, very happy.
When they were gone the woman of
the house sat down on the little green
stool and smote the keys-smote them
with a strength born of days of toll
The organ gave back generously. The
walls of the room buckled.
Then a thought struck the woman.
She arose and opened the windows
wide. There were neighbors all about
her, neighbors whose envious eyes had
seen the dark brown organ unloaded at
her front door.
Then she went back to the keyboard
The organ walled and coughed and
groaned. She could not read all the
names on the stops, SO she pulled out
every one of them. They are called
stops because once started they will
never leave off.
Oh, how the organ did cry and below
and groan!
A beatif1c light played upon the face
of the woman. She had an organ and
the neighbors by this time must know
of it. Blessed thought Half through
the night she kept it up-also the neigh
bors.
After breakfast next morning there
came knock at the door, and when the
woman opened it the freckle faced
daughter of the woman in the next
house stood revealed.
'fPlease, marin, " she piped, "mothe1
wants to know if you won't lend her
your gospel hymns?''
.'Why, I don't know about that, the
woman made hesitating answer; 1T IS
the only book have to play out of at
present. What did your mother want it
for?''
81 don't know, - the little girl shri1ly
replied, "but 1 heard her tell father
that she thought that if mebbe she could
get hold of the book for awhile perhaps
somebody could get a rest. -
To this day the little girl of the
freckled face doesn't understand why
the woman shut the door so hard as to
jar her off the steps. -New York Re-
corder.

Waiting For 1t to Come Along.

A young man stood on Market street
at 80 o'clock this morning with his
back against the rail that guarded a
plate glass window and his arms hooked
over it. The policeman on the beat
stopped long enough to observe that he
was very drunk.
"What you doing here?' he asked.
tfWaitin fer car; zen'm goin home. "
''All right; that s the best place for
you. And the officer passed on.
Two hours later he found the same
young man wabbling about in the same
place and in the same position.
II thought you were going home, -
he said.
''Zat's whattam, y replied the inebri-
ate cheerily. ''Ben waitin fer Eat M'A1-
1'ster street car fer nour, " and he waved
an arm in the direction of the yellow
front restaurant across the street, with
yellow lights in the window, ian Il

BOYS SAILOR SUIT.

blue collar, stitched with white, or
white collar stitched with blue. Hats
are of English straw, turned up all
round and capable of being turned down
to keep off the sun. They are simply
trimmed with a ribbon round the crown
and a small bow. These sailor suits are
worn by lads from 3 to 9 years of age.
The New York Herald, which sketches
one of these suits, says concerning the
hair: For little boys let them wea =
hair long and in curls up to ye
age at the outside, but beyond that
Rod it is better for the health of
child that his hair should be cut,
not too short The couture en- br
should not be adopted for children IN

DANGER FROM CHOLERA.
Missionaries in Japan Are No Where Safe
From the Disease.

From the Disease.
PITTsBURG, Aug. 9.-The ravages of
the cholera in Japan are set forth this
week in letter received by the friends
of Miss Annie Davis of this city, mis-
sionary in Japan. Heretofore Miss Da-
Wis states the cholera has been confined
10 certain places and densely populated
districts. But owing to the war the SOL
diers have scattered everywhere and in
their track the cholera has followed I'M
til safety is found almost no where.
Miss Davis, who is located at Toxic, has
gone with other friends to the mountains
for the heated months. Articles of food
hitherto priced by the missionaries dur
ing their brief rest in the mountains can
not or must not be touched. 1t is SO
largely impregnated with cholera germs
that it is perilous to partake of it.
OF perils from the sword the mission
aries in Japan, Miss Davis states, stand
in no danger.

was made October I'd, six weeks ago, and
already one OF the shafts is down twenty
two feet, and on that particular ledge 1t
shows width of three feet at the bot
tom of the shalt.
The new tnds are ia FIR mont's Peak
mining district. On October I'd, III. Il.
Stevens and Il. Z. Stevens made dis
covsry of " prospect, and it has been fol.
lowed by others until now ten distinct
lodges have been found, and some work
has been done on all of them. The
group has been located in the names Of
y. r. Stevens, II. r. Stevens, J. l.. Rob-
erts. j. l.. Lyons. j. Merry and }. Har-
rington. all of whom are in this city.
The ore runs from $40 to 5000 per ton
on the different Lodges, and in spots 1t
is very rich running as high in gold as
bottom OF the 2fo 1T shaft which 10 being
put down, with three feet of ledge, the
ore is averaging 5000.
There is an abundance of water at
distance of four miles. 1t can be secured
at depth of fifteen feat, and there is q
fall of 700 feet in bringing it to the mine.
Some work has been done on all the
lodges and the miners are confident that
a good nine will be the result.

The individual who under the name of

worthless bank checks in this city two

into jail by virtue of the fact that he did
cash such checks at Cotton, may be a
criminal of more than ordinary shrewd-
ness. He has done time in the county
