CARE OF THE HANDS.
With a Little Attention They Can b
Kept in Good Condition.

Kept in Good Condition.
Wash the hands in soft tepid water and
dry thoroughly with coarse dry towel,
rubbing well to insure good circulation,
which is important in keeping the skin
soft and white. If obliged to use hard
water put in a little soda or ammonia.
Ammonia and borax are wonderful cleans
ers and will do much toward softening the
hands. Oatmeal mixed in water or spread
on as paste will whiten the hands. Many
use diluted glycerine with good results. 1t

Related by an Argonant.

James Brown, of Salt Lake City,
Utah, claims to have witnessed the first
discovery of gold in California, having
been with Marshall when the glitter
ing scales were picked up in Suffers
millrace IN 1S47. He tells the story
of the find as follows:
"Some time in January, 1S47, was
working with Marshall at Suffers mill,
on the American River. Marshall and
I came upon some decayed granite at
the bottom of the millrace, where We
were at work Marshall was inter
ested in the rock, but the rest of us
didn't think anything Of it. He said,
we will shut down the gates early in
the morning. and it was done. He
was down ut the race that morning
while the rest of us were in the cabin.
In short time Marshall came up with
his hat in his hand, saying, Boys, I've
got her now
81 being, about the youngest and
most curious of the crowd, ran to him,
and saw on the lining of his hat ten or
twelve pieces Of scale gold. The larg-
est piece was worth fifty cents. Ipicked
it up and tested it in my teeth, and as
it did not give held it up and yelled
Gold, boys, gold!'
SAT that the rest OF them crowded
around. plated my piece out thin
and run to the cabin and tested it on
hot bed of manzanita Goals, and as it
did not burn away 1 knew it was gold.
We picked up lots of it in the next two
or three days. Detroit Free Press.

To Sterilize Water.

A savant of the University of Gene.
va publishes in the Swiss Medical Re-
view new method of sterilizing water,
that is killing any organic germs that
may be in it, which is said to be at
once simple and efficacious. The pro-
cess consists in stirring into the water
a small quantity of permanganate of
potash, which will instantly destroy
any living organism that the water
may contain, purifying perfectly even
stagnant water taken from putrld
pools. The permanganate imparts a
color to the water, which is not tit to
drink in that condition. The addition
of little charcoal in a tinel y-pow-
dered state Ozone charcoal being
recommended for the purpose), at once
relieves the water from the perman-
ganate, and makes it absolutely pure
and colorless. Careful experiments
have demonstrated that water contain
ing ptomaines, and other deadly or
ganic poisons, is perfectly purified by
this process. SO that it may be drunk
with impunity. It is established be-
yond all doubt that cholera, typhoid
fever, and other dreaded diseases are
in most cases communicated through
drinking water and unless one is per-
fectly sure of the purity of his water
supply, it would be we'll for him to
take the precautioh by testing this
process

Eisnens and Other Herbs,

Ginseng is low-growing herbaceous
plant, with single stem about foot
high or less, on the top of which there
are three petioles or leaf stalks, each
of these bearing five leaflets, hence
the specific name of this species, viz. .,
Aralia quinquefolia. The flowers are
produced on short stem above the
whorl of terminal leaves, and are
small and of greenish white color, and
these are succeeded in autumn by
small clusters of bright red berries.
The roots are thick and feshy, the
largest about the size of mans
thumb, but tapering to point at the
lower end. They have spicy and
somewhat agreeable aromatic taste.
The best time to gather these roots IS
in the fall and winter, for at this sea-
son they are firm and solid, and their
location can be readily determined by
the old stalks and withered leaves,
which remain IN position until beaten
down by snow or rain. There is q
steady and increasing demand for the
dried roots, the price advancing as
the supply decreases from year to
year in our forests. Large quantities
are gathered in the mountains OF North
Carolina. York Sun.

Theory of Plant Growth.

The theory of plant growth, elabor-
ated chiefly by American biologists,
that the motion is rhythmic and not
regularly continuous is being brought
forward to account for many phenom-
ena hitherto deemed inexplicable. One
of the most notable of these attempts
appears in paper in the Proceedings
of the Academy of Natural Sciences OF
Philadelphia, describing the manner
in which nature produces the various
forms of the Citrus tribe. It is no I'M
cannon occurrence that small orange
is found inside of a larger one and the
kind known as the navel orange is one
in which very feeble attempt to form
another orange results in giving the
''navel' appearance to the fruit. This
is explained by stating that branch
is arrested in its longitudinal growth
when the fruit is to be formed, and
the parts, leaves and stems become
enlarged and succulent instead of nor
NAL leaves and stem. An orange is
really but transformed mass of leaves
and branches. In the double orange
the wave growth does not entirely rest
when forming the one orange, but
makes another feeble attempt to elon-
gate, only to be arrested as the first
wave was, resulting in smaller fruit.
Sometimes the primary wave is the
feebler, in which case it is almost
wholly abortive, and the only "orange"
resulting is the one which would be
the interior in the double instance, or
the "navel' in the other. This re-
suits in the variety known as the man
DARN. The mandarin is the product
of the upper, and usually very feeble
growth wave. In the lemon the ''nip-
ple'' is the result of feeble attempt
of the second growth wave to form an
other lemon on the top of the lower,
and is analogous to the ''navel" in the
variety of orange known as such. The
author of the paper believes that much
of the variety we see among plants and
flowers are referable to varying inten-
sites in growth waves. New York

We shall lay US down in the bloom and light
With prayer and tear for rest,
As tired children who creep at night
To the love of mothers breast.
And for all the grief of the stormy past,
Rest shall be sweeter at last-at last!
Sweeter because of the weary way
And the lonesome night and long,
While the darkness drifts to the perfect day
With its splendor of light and song.

love us
And sprinkle the roses of heaven above US

Increased Use of Mutton.

It is not altogether the cheapness OF
mutton that is leading people to use
it more freely. They have learned
that it is an excellent and healthful
meat and the consumption of mutton
in the United States is six times as
great in 1898 as it was in 1887. We
are undoubtedly killing offsheep faster
than their natural increase. This
must lead to increasing scarcity of fat
sheep for mutton, and higher prices
for the mutton when marketed. Sheep
cannot be increased very rapidly at the
best, and if our stock becomes de-
pleted it takes several years to build
it I'D acain.-Epstou CultiTator. -

Queer Story of Teeth Extraction.
