way, said Mrs. Royal, as she bade her
daughter goodnight. $50 on as you
have begun. Iadvise suet pudding

Mrs. Royal returned home.
Three days passed. On the fourth
her daughter and son-in-law appeared
at her door. Berenice was beaming
with smiles, Mr.. Fisher grave beyond
description.
"We have come for little advice,
dear madam, he said.
"a nice receipt for plum-pudding?
said Mrs. Royal.
"No," cried Mr.. Fisher. Il think
my little wife confded to you our de-
lightful dream of living quite without
servants"
"She did. 1t was beautiful" said
Mrs. Royal And how does it sue
ceed ?"
"Splendidly, mamma !" said Bere-
nice. 81 am improving so fast! |
made him mince-rie today, and home
is like Arcadia.
"Precisely, darling, said Mr. Fish
er; "but | don't have enough of your
society. You live in the kitchen, COW
cred, my dearest, with pot-black. You
are working too hard. Besides, | be-
gin to understand, since you ironed
nv shirts, sweetest, that laundry work
is speciality"
"But / shall learn in time, said
Mrs. Fisher. 81 only scorched four of
your shirts; and my homemade bread
is delicious. And, oh | am so anxi-
Gus to make home all it should be-to
carry out Josiahs lovely dream. Nam
ma, come and dine with us tomorrow,
and see if I have not some little talent
for cooking"
"That is good idea" said Mr..
Fisher q shall unavoidably be away
from home; but | think, little wife,
your dear mamma will see that my
idea was, perhaps, too Arcadian; and
we might get the servants back, and
see wife in her pretty dresses again,
q always tell my daughter to do as
her husband wishes, said Mrs. Royal,
"but of course | will dine with Bere-
nice. "
She did. 1t was a very good little
dinner; but the next day found the
servants in their places, and Mr.. Fisher
never alluded to his Arcadian dream
again.

Sahara's Sands.

May is the beginning of the dead
season. when all traffic is stopped
through the desert of Sahara and very
little labor can be done. The deadly
heat which prevails during the 4O
canicular days causes travellers and
traders to shun the oases for fear OF
the epidemic fever about the end OF
September, when the Nomads re-enter
the Sahara, with abundance Of cattle
and grain, and the Mozabites renew
their bartering traffic between the
roses and the North. The sammah,
of4 canicular days, is deadly period
to traverse. What respondent SIT

southern Winds sweeping the face
like a blast of a furnace produce sem
satiops of burning. These winds, like
the equinoctical sirocco, being desh-
tute of all moisture, pervade the at
mosphere with intense dryness, tortur-
ing the throat and lungs of the pant
ingand dispirited traveller. HIS parch-
ed lips stifien and almost lose the sensl-
bilitv of contact, the blood within the
mucous membranes evaporatlng under
the blighted effect of the hot AIR,
Gasping for breath he remains IN a
state of prostration until the terrible
god of day has accomplished hls daily
course. The blaze of the noonhde
sun is literally torture, especially for
the white races; duringit no human
being is to be seen out of doors; the
eyes would not stand the reflection OF
the sun or the licking heat of the All !;
the cities are buried in the silence Of
a cemetery; people seek the comfort
of sleep, but often all in vain.
The natives who feel most affected
by this extraordinary heat dig a grave
like hole in their novels or gardens as
refreshing couch This kind of liv-
ing grave is watered every morning
to preserve its freshness and then COW

Besides the heat the flies and ants
are more than one can bear during
the day, while during the night one is
tormented to rage by thousands of
mosquitoes or sleeps with the night

flies swarm in the daytime and the fan

during the canicular days. These ped
ipalpi are found in swarms among the
ruins and in the houses, which fact re-
quires an everyday search by the IN
mate before going to sleep. This IN
sect grows there to an extraordinary
size and is sometimes seen three inches

tantalizing mirage can be seen daily

A strange Coincidence.

A remarkable coincidence happened
few days ago. Sylvester Tryon, a
wealthy mill owner in Sacramento,
who has been suffering from Bright's
disease for years past. complained on
Sunday, July Z, of pains around the
heart and kidneys. He took to his
bed, and on the following Tuesday was
dead. A telegram was sent by the
family Of the deceased to his brother,
Horatio. living in Middletown, Lake
County. When this telegram reached
Calistoga it was found that there was
also telegram at that place for Syl-
vester Tryon, stating that his brother
Horatio had died on Tuesday from
Bright's disease. The Middletown
brother was also we'll on the preceding
Sunday, and, as far as can be learned,
he took sick almost at the Same hour
as the Sacramento brother. Conse-
quently two brothers, living in differ
ent portions of the State, became Ill
at the same time, died on the same
day and of the same complaint.
Sylvester Tryon was, at the time of
MS death, slxty-nlne years OF age. He
came to California in the days of 40
with the pioneers. He established
himself in Sacramento twenty-five
years ago, and since then has become
very wealthy. He is prominent
Mason, and was buried last Saturday
afternoon under tho auspices of that
lodge. Horatio Tryon, the Middle
town brother, came to this State from
Pittsburg about ten years ago, and
became wealthy farmer. At the time
of his death he was seventy -one years
of age.
Both brothers from early boyhood
were of the same temperament and
fast friends. They were never seen
apart. Both married at the same ages
and each reared family of three sons,
although Horatio Tryon also had a
daughter. San Francisco Chronicle.

SALTING STOCK.

We use rock salt in large Jumps for
the horses, writes II. j. Terry. Each
horse has IL lump before him all the
time, TO lick from as he may want it.
We salt our cows in the barn at milk
ing time, once day. That is, little
halt, say heaping teaspoonful, is put
before every COW each morning to eat
il she wants it. 1t is put right on the
cement feeding floor. A little salt
daily aids digestion in the COW or
horse and waters the milk in legiti-
mate way. Sailing freely once week
is not the best way, any more than it
would be for us to eat all our salt for
the week every Sunday morning. In
fact, believe that salt thus fed is
often an injury, MS we'll as an advan-
tase. Stock need salt as we'll as food,
but it should be given them in a
proper way. Fed in the stable, as we
do, each COW has her own, and cannot
be robbed by some boss COW, to the
injury Of th.-Practical Farmer.

A Remedy ior Scasickness

The very latest remedy for seasick-
ness comes just in time for the ap.
preaching season of holiday travel.
Like all it's predecessors, it is, of
course, infallible, and SO simple that
no one will henceforth have the least
excuse for an attack of NAL de mer.
All you have to do is to pay careful
attention to the rise and fall of the
vessel and to breathe inward as it goes
down and exhale the breath every
time it mounts wave. Simple
enough, no doubt; but fancy having
to continue the process all through
long voyage, sleeping hours and meal
time included? And then, what about
conversation? Talking, in these cir
would be obviously i'm
possible; and only imagine the de-
lights of silent yachting party. =

GOOD LAUNDRY HINTS.

GOOD LAUNDRY HINTS.
In summer time clothes may be
washed without any fire by soaking
over night in soft, soapy water, rub
bing out in the morning, soaping the
dirty places and laying them in the
hot sunshine. By the time the last
are spread out to bleach, the first may
be taken up, washed out and rinsed.
This. of course, requires clean lawn.
Wash gray and brown linens in cold
water. with little black pepper in it,
and they will not fade. For washing
other goods that fade, use crude or
household ammonia instead of soap.
Soiled neckties may be made to look
like new by taking one.half tea
spoonful of ammonia to tea-cup Of
water. Wash well. and, if very much
soiled, put through second water
with less ammonia. Lay the necktie
on clean, white cloth and gently
wipe with another till dry.
TO wash colored muslin, use warm,
not hot, suds, made with soft water
and best white soap. Do not soak the
muslin, and wash only one thing at n
time. Change the suds as soon as it
looks dingy, and put the garments at
once into fresh suds. Rinse first in
clear water slightly blued. Squeeze
quite dry, but do not wiring the goods.
Hang in shady place where the sun
shine will not strike it, as that fades
all colors.
For lawns and organdies which are
delicately colored, boil wheat bran,
about two quarts to dress, in soft
water for half an hour, let it cool,
strain the liquor, and use it instead Of
soap suds. 1t removes dirt like soap,
keeps the color, and the clothes only
need rinsing in one water, and even
starching is unnecessary. Suds and
rlnsing water for colored articles
should be used as cold as possible.
Wash silk handkerchiefs by laying
them on smooth board and rubbing
with the palm of the hand. Use either
borax or white CASTLE soap to nuke
the suds; rinse in clear water, stake
till nearly dry, fold evenly, lay be-
tween boards, put weight on than.
No ironing is required. Silk ribbans
may be treated in the same manner,
To clean black lace, wipe off all dust
carefully with cambria handkcr-
chief. Then pin out on board, in
serting pin in each projecting poii,t
of the lace. Sponge it all over with
cold tea, and do not remove the pius
until perfectly dry. 1t will look quite
fresh and new. New York Recordes

How a Japanese Writes a Better.

buys roll OF thin, fimsy paper, a
hundred feet long and tightly rolled
up, and package of equally flimsy
envelopes, rather long and narrow.
and probably having decorative
border. Squatting on his heels be-
fore his roll of paper he unwinds it
with his left hand, while his right
rapidly makes fire-cracker signs on it

painted in more fire-cracker letters

cuLT1vATING DIAGoNALLY.

If the planting has been properly
done there is often much advantage i'll

This will cut corners which are left

1t is we'll when this is done to have the

thirty-six per cent. over a new share.
A dull share drew harder than a sharp
one, but not as hard as badly sharp
ened share. Draught decreases with
the depth and with the width per
square inch Of soil.
Walking plows gave slightly less
draught than sulky plows with rider.
Sulky plows drew easier down hill, but
much harder up hill than walking
plows. A share straight on its land
side and bottom took land we'll and
gave slight decrease of draught. A
loss Of draught was found on sulky

A wagon with fellies IL inches wide
drew on moist, but close, blue grass
sward 41.6 per cent. harder than
wheels with fellies three inches wide.
On dirt road, slightly moist, the
narrow tires drew 1917 per cent.
heavier than the wide tires.
Draught on plank road is one-fif-
tieth of the load. and not one.sev-
enth of the draught on dirt road in
its ordinary condition after rain.
A load over the hind wheels drew
ten per cent. easier than over the
front wheels.
Lowering the reach, or the coupling
pole, on the hind wheels decreased
dranght; wagons draw easier when the
traction has an upward incline, and
harder when horses are hitched to the
end of the pole.
Loose burrs reduced draught four
fifths per cent.
An old moving machine repaired
drew easier than new one.
The draught was eight -sevenths per
cent. greater for a well-sharpened
sickle than for one more nicely sharp
ened.
A pitman box set tight gave less
draught than one set quite loosely.
When cutter bar is not near right
line with pitman rod the draught is
increased.
When guards are out of line the
draught is increased.
When cutter bar inclines upward
draught is decreased
When the sections of the sickle do
not strike in the center of the guards
the draught is increased.
The drought was decreased ten

The question 10 often asked. 'How
do people manage to live in Florida
during the summer?" That they do
live. and live comfortably, is evident.
Few Floridians work very hard dur
ing tho hot summer months, for food
costs very little. The lakes aud rivers
are alive with fish, the ground is full
of sweet potatoes, corn that will yield
forty bushels to the acre is ripening
in the fields, watermelons can be
bought for five cents each, tomatoes
are given away in many places, fruits
are plentiful, Florida beef is cheap

it hard to handle. A short handle
has convinced many persons that
brush caunot be handled by fork,

TRANsp1ANrEp WEEDS.

Weeds sboull not be hoel during
wet weather. The moisture on their
leaves will prevent them from drying
up, while the roots against the moist

aud send out new tibres. A weed once
or twice transplanted is almost as diff

only way to kill such n weed is to
cover it while wet with moist soil.
