SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.
A Farmer Givos Some Good Points
Worth Considering

DEAR ARGUS by your permission I
will call attention 10 few thoughts
that have suggested themselves TO my
mind lately, that might be the means
OF helping sons OF rs who are and
have been crying long and loud for
Money money More money, The
business OF our people in this county is,
and hns been for many years, farming,
VIZ; Raising wheat, corn, oats pota-
toes, aud also raising horses. cattle,
sheep, hogs, &c. This business has not
been very profitable for many years
The result is. that we have become
hard up for money 20 carry on our busi-
ness, but we have also become dis.
couraged and dissatisfied. Not only
with our business, but with the Gov
ernment Some claiming that the
Government did not issue n sufficient
amount OF money 10 carry on the bust.

the Government ought TO coin the sill
vsr into dollars, and make the silver
dollar or par with the gold dollar
Now, IL appears 60 m, that the
amount of money issucl by tho Gov
ernment does notnecas ,arily determine
the amount To be put into circulation
in any given section. II there is bust.

Mines Of Soap.

Few people know that soap is found
in natural mines in California. These
mines are on the shores of Ovens
Lake, and are accounted for by q
scientist, who has recently investi-
gated them, as follows: The water
Of the lake is strongly impregnated
with borax and soda. In the water
a curious species of grub breed by
millions. These grubs go through
their various transformations and IL
nally emerge as short-winged, heavy
bodied flies, very fat and oily, They
live but few days, dying and falling
into the lake in such numbers as to
be frequently washed ashore in layers
moro than foot thick. The oily
substance of the dead flies blends
with the alkali of tho borax and soda,
and the result is layer of pure soap,
corresponding in thickness to the
drift strata Of the dead flies. a foot
deep of the flies making a layer OF
soap nearly an inch thick. These
strata, repeated year after year, have
formed the celebrated Soap banks
Of OWENS Lake." where a large force
of men have been constantly en-
ployed for number of years.-lNews

the country makes it rule to put
away money to buy one good dress a
year, and it is o good one. Little by
little she denies herself articles that
she thinks she can get along without,
because of the satisfaction she finds in
the possession of something quite out
Of the common. Among her present
seasons investments is skirt of good
black velvet, call silk" she COM
placently murmured to herself, as she
put it on for the first time. A
shower of fine jets over the front
of the skirt she made for herself
at very small cost, and with this she
wears waists of various sorts. One is
lemon.yellow silk striped with black
velvet ribbon, the edges OF the ribbon
finished with very narrow very fine jet
trimming. A collarette and belt OF
velvet, lined with yellow and edged
with jet, completes a costume that Is
simply, regal in appearance. Another
waist is of pale blue chiffon striped
with darker blue velvet ribbon with
silver embroidered edge. The collar
and belt, of course, match, and
fringe of tiny silver-lined beads with
jet falls over the front OF the skirt.
The most stylish skirts are without
trimming, but there are many ladies
who do not seem to care for this, and
ornament their skirts in various ways.
In one model there are velvet flowers
appliqued on in lines down the edges
Of the plaita, in others there are very
full rose ruchings at the foot of the
skirt. Others have embroidered
edges with fine beads and heavy cord
silk. Embroidery of oil sorts is some
times seen on skirts, but this is merely
for variety and is not considered the
extreme of fashion.
All-of the ornamentation is concen-
trated on the waist. and certainly
there is quite enough of it. Never
has there been such On evident effort
to overdo all reason and sense as ap-
pears in the present styles. A concert
waist has enormous sleeves shaped
like beer kegs. Around the neck is
collar made of braided velvet From
this there are clusters of loops pro-
jecting on either side. Below this
collar is yoke edged with wide vel
vet ribbon, with very large bows on
the shoulders, and below this is fall
of lace that extends to the waist-line
in front, and covers the tops of the
yoluminous sleeves. The distance
between the outer edges of these
sleeves, with this enormous frill over
them, is almost incredible. 1t is i'm
possible for the wearerto pass through
on ordinary-sized door without touch
ing the castings on either hand. This
waist is worn with skirt of satin with
velvet belt and long ends, and large
velvet bows set at intervals on the
waist.
