At Vera Cruz, an old woman
named Maria Orfela, has discovered
a remedy said to be very efficacious
in treatment OF yellow fever and
black vomit, which has effected
complete cures in many serious
cases and has been adopted by the
medical profession. 1t is the juice
of the leaves of verbena, extracted
by msceration, of which small
doses are taken internally three
times daily, and by Injection every
two hours until the bowels cease
evacuation and return to their
normal condition. The verbena is
a.plant of almost universal growth,
and this simple remedy is within
the reach of everybody.

A short time since the COW was
sad; she scarce could raise her head,
besad. Her hoofs were sore, her
tail y as limp; her name and b,gs

trudged the grass, to drink, with
scarcely strength enough to wink.
The owner, too, looked blue and
glum, and cursed the cattle busi-

grass is tali-and the COW can
raise her head and bawl; her hide

Foolish Fanatics.

AT a camp meeting recently held
at Old Orchard, Maine, nearly
$75,O 900 was raised one Sunday by
contributions from those present
for foreign missions. Men decided
their houses and lots and women
gave up their jewelry. Some gave
up all their savings. 1t was cer-
tainly a remarkable instance Of the
influence of religious enthusiasm
and the power of pulpit eloquence.
When the effect of this enthusiasm
wears away the liberal givers may
not be conten.ed with their days

the benefciaries of the foreign mis-
sions are in clover We question
very much the wisdom of working

SCIENTIFIC COOKING.

The dinner recently given by Edward
Atkinson of Boston to a distinguished
company in Washington has given rise to
more comment in the Eastern press than
any other dinner OF recent occurrence. 1t
has achieved this distinction not by ex-
travagance, but by economy. A feast cost
ing $50 plate would hardly have attracted
much notice, but Mr.. Atkinson's dinner
cost less than 80 cents plate, and yet was
declared by those who partook of it to
have had all that was necessary to form a
truly choice and delightful repast.
The apparent miracle of serving mod
ern state dinner of six courses to fourteen
people at a total cost of little more than
So with consumption of only 10 cents
worth of fuel in preparing it is explained
by the substitution of a scientific method
of cooking for that which is now in vogue.
Mr.. Atkinson has invented stove from
which not particle of heat escapes up the
chimney or into the air. All that is gen
Grated is used in cooking the viands. More
over, the oven is so constructed that no
odors escape from it, and thus the heat,
the substance and the fiavors of the food
cooked are all conserved in the dinner.
Secretary Morton, who was one of the
guests of the occasion, is said to have been
much interested in the process. 1t is not
unlikely he will have series of investiga-
tons undertaken by the Department OF
Agriculture in order to determine the most
economical method of preparing food. II
is estimated by an expert that it costs SIC
per capita year to feed the Go, 600, 900 peo-
pie in the United States under our present
method of cooking, and Of this amount
it is believed that 20 per cent can be
saved by the adoption Of more econom-
ical system. This would mean an aggre-
gate saving to the country of $500 000, 00d
year, besides tightening the work Of
housekeepers and providing better food
While these good results may be ex
pected from the adoption of a system oil
scientific cooking, there is hardly much
hope that the new system will come into
vogue with any great rapidity. The cook
ing of luxuries and the preparation Of
fancy dishes may be taught as fad and
readily taken up, but when it comes to the
substantlals, cooking is one of the most
unprogressive of human practices. Al
most every cook is a conservative firmly

best. 1t takes long time to bring about
change in the kitchen, and we will be
disappointed if We expect science to shine
there all at once. In the meantime, how
ever, the subject is most important one
and if Secretary Morton carries out his
investigations the result will receive much
more attention from the people generally
than is usually given to the reports of the
Agricultural Department.

PROSPECTS IN UTAH.

In a well-considered letter published in
the CALL yesterday there was given re-
view of the political and business prospects
of Utah, which was of more than ordinary
interest to the people of California gener-
ally, but particularly so to those of San
Francisco.
AS part of the Greater West, Utah is so
closely allied to California that her inter-
ests are practically the same as ours, both
in politics and in business. 1t is therefore
matter of qualification to note that the
political outlook for the Territory gives
promise of a speedy accession to the Union,
with the assurance that this will be fol-
lowed by an increased representation of
Pacific Coast Republicans in the Senate
This means that the great Western ques-
tons of arid land irrigation, the promo
ton of the mining industry and the i'm
provement of Pacific Coast harbors and
rivers, will have stronger backing than
before and will therefore be more likely to
obtain a fair hearing from the country
and more certain to receive the support of
Congress.
The business outlook is as encouraging
as that of politics. Salt Lake City and
Utah have long been seeking closer COM
munication with California and a freer
outlet to the Pacific Ocean. The business
men of the Territory recognize the fact
that competing lines to the westward are
needed for the advancement of their COM
mercial and industrial welfare. For some
time past number of progressive men
have been considering the best route for
projecting such line, and terminal has
been looked for at San Diego. 1t is still
more than likely that line to that city
will be constructed sooner or later, but at
present attention in Salt Lake City has
been directed mainly to the San Joaquin
road, through which an opportunity is
offered Utah to get a competing line with
a terminal in San Francisco itself.
In discussing the merits of the various
projected routes, our correspondent says:
1.-THE San Joaquin road is the one to which
Utonians should pin their faith, as it is a
feasible project, backed by the solid men
of San Francisco and planned to build up
the territory through which it will run.
Salt Lake should, and probably will, take
steps to cooperate with the promoters OF
this line, which will be the means of ell
riching this Territory tenfold.
If this view of the situation should pre-
vail, it is evident the construction of the
San Joaquin road would be only the begin
ming of great transcontinental railway
system, beneficial not only to California
but to the whole of the Great West, and
indirectly to the entire Union. This is the
prospect we have now before us. The well
fare of Utah, therefore, appears at this
iuncture to be part and parcel of that of
California, and the proceedings at Salt
Lake, whether of a business or political
nature, will be watched by our people with
more than ordinary interest and attention.

THE SPRING EXHIBITION.

The excellence of the work displayed at
the Spring Exhi bition is sufficient to justify
high degree of pride in California art. 1t
is to be doubted if any community of q
population not greater than ours could,
out of its own ranks, show display
superior to it; and, when the comparative
youth of our State is taken into considera-
ton, the exhibit may be rightly considered
genuine triumph.
The success of the exhibit, moreover,
does not depend upon the exhibits of few
well-known artists In the works of the
younger and lesser known men and
women there is abundant evidence that
the art of the immediate future in Califor-
MIA will not fall in any way short of the
standard it has attained in the hands of
its present masters. Some of the work
of these younger artists is well deserving
of the most critical study, and will yield
to the artistic perception an enjoyment
hardly inferior to that derived from the
contemplation of what are conceded to be
the masterpieces of the exhibit.
1t is characteristic feature of the exhi-
bition that not only have the works been
produced by California artists, but they
show distinct California influences and
deal to very large extent in California
themes. 1t is evident from this that our
younger as well as our elder artists are
drawing their inspiration direct from ma
ture and are relying on the schools only
for methods and modes of treatment. This
gives encouragement to the belief that the
lack of originality of which we hear so
much complaint from the East, will not
be noted in the art on this Coast, but that
our painting and our sculpture will be as
distinct in its essential elements as that OF
any other country in the world.
Where our artists have done so much,
society should do something. 1t should
be part of the higher social culture of our
people to know the literature and the art
of California as well as that of foreign
countries. To see the Spring Exhibit and
to make something of study of it should
be imperative upon all who make any pre-
tensions to artistic taste. What has been
put on exhibition at the Hopkins Gallery
is, as we have said, just source of pride
and qualification to the State, but unless
we show ourselves capable of approaching
it, the pride will be little more than vain
glory.

LAW OF THE LAND.
All Miners Have to Do Is to Comply
With the United States
Statutes.

Questions OF date and of proper oath to
accompany the declaratory notice of the
location of a mine were involved in the
controversy between Ed L. Preston and
Duncan Hunter, decided by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals yesterday.
Hunter and others had jumped the Pine
Tree placer claim in Flathead County,
Mont, belonging to Preston, claiming Pres
tons declaratory notice and oath were not
properly made and dated under the Mon
tana law. The lower courts Judgment was
based upon the requirements of the Mon
tana law and was against Preston.
The Court of Appeals held that Preston's
locating and notice were in compliance
with the United States mining laws, and
incidentally pronounced the Montana law
to be in conflict with the organic law of
that State in saddling unnecessary bur-
dens upon miners. The dates of the papers
were all right, and the only thing in dis
pute could be the notarial acknowledge
ment, which Preston's declaratory notice
had affixed to it in place of the oath re-
quired by the Montana law. The iudg-
ment OF the lower court was reversed.

ing of wheat from the valley to vessels in
the bay. There is no settlement at Moss
Landing, and hence the passenger traffic
between Salinas and the bay was nothing
Yet in spite of the disadvantage of hauling
practically but one kind of freight, OF car
rying few passengers and of running In
opposition to the Southern Pacific, with
its far superior traffic and other facilities,
the little road paid dividend of 5 per cent
last year and had no deficit. If this is not
an object lesson of the most valuable kind
we cannot imagine one. 1t is easy to sup
pose that if the length and scope of the
road had been greater its profits would
have been at least doubled.
1t may be instructive to consider the
further fact that some of the controlling
spirits in this minor enterprise are also
actively concerned in the San Francisco
and San Joaquin Valley Railroad. The
directors of the Paiaro Valley road are:
Claus Spreckels, John D. Spreckels, John
l.. Roster, w. G. Waters of jacksonville
and NJ. Ehrman. Claus Spreckels is its
president; John d. Spreckels, vice-presi-
dent; E. III. Sheldon, secretary; J. d..
Spreckels & Brother, treasurer, and w. g.
Waters, general superintendent. Claus
Spreckels is also president of the San
Joaquin Valley road, and there is every
good reason to believe that with the very
much larger scope of the enterprise he can
assist in securing for it financial success
exceeding that of the Pajaro Valley line.
These considerations are valuable as in
dicating the safety and wisdom, from a
financial point of view, of investing in
