The Widest Spot on Earth.

The barkentine Marion arrived re-
Gently with nine miners, returning in
various conditions Of down hearted
ness and jubilnucy from Turnagain
Arm, a bright opening into Cooks in
let, Alaska Every miner who had
good luck declares that there is no
place ON earth like Turnagain Arm,
and every miner that struck claim
that did not pan out we'll states con-
tidentially that this Alaska mining
boom is all humbug and sham.
All the returning miners on the
Marion agree, however, that the camp
on Cooks inlet is tho widest small
place in the world today. 1t is so fnr
removed from the rest of the world
that the miners have been compelled
to be law unto themselves. There
are several hundred of them up there,
and in spite of the inducements of the
poker game and the faro table there
has not been fight in camp. The
men all speak of it as sure proof that
it is the restrictions Of civilization
that make men fight.
The miners have taken up claims on
both sides Of the creek flowing into
Turnagain Arm, and have variety of
rude contrivances to aid them in wash

TO CLEAN ECRU LACE.

To clean ecru lace, which has be.
come too dusty and soiled for further
use, give it dry bath in flour. About
quart of -four should be put into a
bowl, the lace dipped into it, and then
rubbed and squeezed with the hands
as if the flour were water. After it
look rs fresh and good as ever. Lace
should never DO ironcd, for by SO do
ing, it is robbed of it's fine appearance.
Black lace may DO revived, and saved
from the "rusty" look that is wont to
come with wear, by washing it in equal
quantities of milk and water.

in chat on domestic hygiene md

HOrselcSS Vehicles,

Electricians, SAYS the Philadelphia
enquirer, are studying with good
lcal of interest and doubt their
chances in the horselcss vehicle con
:ess, to take place next November be-
.woen Chicago and Milwaukee, dis
snnce of about eighty y-fve miles, with
two relay stations-one at Kenosha,
Wis, and one at Wnukegnn, Ift.-
Shere renewal Of power is permitted.
Already soventy-fve entries have been
made for tho race, but it is said that
the electrical competitors are com
puratively few. The main reason for
the lack of prominence Of electricity is
that the batteries hitherto in Use and
on the market have been altogether
too heavy, and have too limited a
storage capacity. Hence, with the
increase in strength of the frame to
bear the burden has como further
drain on the insufficient power and no.
body seems to be able to reco moi 10
these adverse conditions. Yet another
reason for the absence OF electrical
carriages from the contest is the rare
ness OF charging stations, although
the condition in this respect is steadi-
ly improving nil the time. 1t is be-
lieved by electricians that not many
years will pass before trolley systems
penetrating into rural districts, will
allow their circuits to be tapped for
lines run over ronds in such u way
thut any cart can hitch on by its troll
ley pole. and get all the current it
needs. More likely, however, that
the electric Car for passenger pleasure
and freight purposes will altogether
supcrsedc common road vehicles OF
every kind using electricity.

Primitive Methods.

Cyprus methods Of agriculture are
of the most primitive descriptions.
The pillow in use in Cyprus is just
what Virgil describes. They haven't
changed their implements of agricul-
ture for 1000 years. AS for the
threshing floors, they are precisely
what they were in Palestine in the
days of Araunah the Jcbustc. Every
village has one or more of these.

The White Island.

In Counterpane country are hills OF snow,
Smooth and white for tho weary feet;
And blossoms OF healing that greoniy grow,
All untarnished by frost or heat
And dreamy rivers their sea do meet,
Never rippled by wind or rain;
And shadows walk in the silent street
That leads through tbs city Of Countorpane.
On Counterpane coast there are breakers low.
Whispering echoes Of ancient rhyme;
Bwaying and shimmering to and fro,
And singing softly from time TO time.
And If ON the milk white cliffs you climb,
A beautiful rounded sward you gain,
Where scents OF lilac and Towering limo
Come down from the city OF Counterpart.
From Coupterpane hills you may gaze below
On dusky forest and dim ravine;
No fear OF evil that land doth know,
Nor cares nor sorrows therein are seen.
But the lords OF Maybe and Must-have-becn
Bid one ride in their golden train,
And a languorous, luminous glow serene
Su1uses the city Of Counterpane.

door and stood beside him.
For an hour she remained closeted
with the now thoroughly sobered
man, and when they finally came out
and entered the house, there were
traces of tears in the eyes of both.
Little Tom, hearing the uproar, had
remained at the barn, and when Ma.
tilda had cleared up the broken
crockery and arranged the table, went
out and called him in to supper.
Tom Mundy ate his food in silence
and tears occasionally started to his

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.
HINTS ABOUT TIE TABLE,.

For a good meal of several courses,
it is no longor good form to lay the

placed at first; say, tho oyster fork,
the soup spoon, the fish knifo and

eating implements arc added with
each course that follows. This plan
prevents embarrassment to tho guest

Chinese Rice Paper Making.

The rice-paper tree, one of tho most
interesting of the flora Of China, has
recently been successfully experiment.
ed with in Florida, where it now -four
ishes, with other sub-tropical and Ori-
entail species of trees and shrubs, says
the st. Louis Republic. When first
transplanted in American soil, the ex-
perimenters expressed doubts Of it's
hardness, fearing that it would be un-
able to stand the winters. All these
fears have vanished, however, and it
is now the universal opinion that it is
rs we'll adapted to the climate of this
country rs to thut of tho famed Flow
cry Kingdom.
1t is small tree, growing to q
height of less than fifteen feet, with a
trunk or stem from three to five
inches in diameter. It's canes, which
vary in color according to season, nro
large, soft and downy, tho form some
what resembling that noticed in those
of the castor bean plant. Tho cele-
bratcd rice paper, the product Of this
queer tree, is formed of thin slices of
the pith, which is taken from the
body of the tree in beautiful cylinders
several inches in length.
The Chinese workmen apply tho
blade of sharp, straight knife,
to these cylinders, and, turning them
round either by rude machinery
or by hand, dexterously pare the pit
from the circumference to center.
This operation makes roll of extra
quality paper, the scroll being of
equal thickness throughout. After n
cylinder has thus been paired, it liz
unrolled and weights are placed upon
it until the surface is rendered uni
formly smooth throughout it's entire
length. 1t is altogether probable
that If rice paper making becomes an
industry in the United States these
primitive modes will ali be done away

Do Fishes Talk.

A naturalist hos been making some
Investigations in the fish ponds at
Guilford with regard to the much de-
bated question rs to whether fish can
communicate IL notion of their expert
cnccs to other fishes. The expert
menter, when he had caught trout,
threw it back alive into the pond.
Then he put in n freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came
after it. BY cxperim 2nting in another
pond, equally well stocked, and not
throwing back any fish, Mr.. Field
found that hc could catch trout with
out any trouble. This seems to show
that captured fishes when released do
communicate their suilcrings to thoIr
ncighbors in the poui. Atlanta Con

ELECTRIC PLOWS.
German Farmers Harness the New
est Force in Nature.
Speedy Machines That Turn Four
Burrows at Once.

Electricity has reached the farm,
and the German farm at that-the
farm which is incomparably tardy in
adopting new means to old ends. 1t
is the farm which hasn't yet given up
the use of women or draught animals
and burden bearers; yet it shows en-
terprise superior to our own in being
first to harness the newest force in na-
ture to the plow Steam plows have done
service in America for thirty years.
They enabled us to make prodigious
conquests in agriculture, and extract
riches from fields OH which mere man
labor would scarcely have been profit
able. AS the steam plow aud it's assis-
tants-sower, reaper, binder, thresher
were superior to manual labor, 80
the electric plow and its accompani-
ments are superior to steam machines.
One soon will need a technical educa-
tion to "farm it,"
Steam plows were expensive to build
andto operate; they were unweildy
in size, and there often was difficulty
in keeping them supplied with water,
and an engine without water is use

farewell kisa "I'H keep things

When the coach rolled away and
was lost from view in cloud of dust
Miss Matilda Bebce entered the
house aud resumed her interrupted
work.
BY o'clock tho clothes wcro hang
ing on the line, tho kitchen had been
cleared up, and the other rooms swept
and tho beds made.
Now she hustled about preparing
supper, and was mixing up dough for
n cake when small boy Knocked
timidly ut the kitchen door.
"Well?" was Matilda's inquiry, as
she opened the door.
"Please. Mis- Mundy," began the
urchin, 'ma sent mo over to ask you
if Willie an the girls could stop at
our house to-nisht?"
Eyes, they can stay" was tho an
swer; and tho boy, with muttsred
"Thankec, mom!" bobbed his head
and ran away.
"Now I'll have him ali to myself"
said Matilda aloud. and her sharp
eyes twinkled malciously. "And I'll
be bound hell learn IL lesson this day
that he won't soon forget--thc
brute :"
She had supper on the table when
the sounds OF wheels were heard, and
pecping through the window, she saw
u red wagon with yellow wheels,
drawn by bony horse just turning
the corner OF the house.
A man and boy were on the seat.
The boy was driving and the man
reclcd backward and forward when
ever the wheel of tho vehicle ran
against an obstruction.
Drunk, as usual" was Matilda s
comment, rs the wagon halted before
tho kitchen door.
The man alightcd and walked un-
steadily towards the house. Tie boy
drove the horse on to the barn.
The face of the man, who was no
other than Mundy, was red and
flushed, and he kicked open the door
and staggered into the room.
Matilda looked up quickly and her
eyes flashed. H caught the CLEAN
and strobe towards her.
Don't we look at me .hat way" he
cried, balancing on his heels. Give

"Whcn suppor's ready you can have

though her lips twitched convuisivcly
and her hands were claspcd nervously.
