Cal ifornia is state of amazing re-
sources. There is tradition extant
among a tribe of Indians in the West,
that when the gods that watch over
gold and jewels got tired of caring
for their charge, they flung them
broadcast into the earth, stirred up
the ground about them, and abandon
ed them. This spot of land is known
as California. 1t is curious fact
that some of these old stories are so
very apt as explanations of existing
conditions. California is certainly
extremely rich ir mines and veins, and
one of the latest discoveries is rich
vein of very rare variety of chal-
cedony known as chrysoprase This
has been found in Tulare county, and
is of the very finest quality, the cut
gems commanding a high price.
Chrysoprase is found in but few
places in the world. A medium quail
ty has been mined in Oregon, as well
as in other portions Of California;
and a very ordinary grade comes
from Vermont. This latest discover
ed mine is, however, the most valu-
able of it's kind in existence. on ac-
count of the exceeding fneness of
the product.-OutJooE.

Turn every garment that can be
turned before putting upon the line.
The reason for this is evident. Have
q distinct social line-not the clothes
line-drawn between the various
kinds of garments.
Keep each class by itself. A gray
flannel skirt or pair of black stock
ings between tablecloth and sheet
may dry just as quickly, but will not
present an appearance suggestive of
the sseternal fitness of things.'
Hang sheets over the. line, the
short way of the article. On windy
days, when the larger pieces of linen
are apt to snap and fray, it is good
plan TO pin the edges of sheets and
tablecloths to the line, leaving the
fold to hang at the bottom.-Home

The complaint heard in all the
apple markets at present is "too
many apples.'' 1t comes from the
dealers on both sides of the Atlantic
and it's effect is to weaken the tone
and prices. The winter market is
not yet settled and the great pro-
portion of apple receipts is soft fall
fruit with uncertain keeping qualities.
Considerable quantities of the fruit
shipped arrives at its destination in a
poor condition, showing the folly of
packing soft fruit for long shipment
in barrels. At the larger home mark
cts, holders are accepting any reason
able bid in order to get their stock
down to manageable proportion.
Fancy apples, however, are held fair
ly steady, sharing only partially in
the weakness of the lower grades.

want to get well.
To get well you desire to take the
remedy which will surely cure you

by some one in whom you have perfect
belief and confidence.
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is the medicine which will

and Treasurer and Trustee Of his

remarkable benefit in his own family

being put upon the market. Fresh

LADIES' COLUMN.
A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

Mrs. Cornelia S. Robinson, Pro-
II lessor of Political Economy in the
New York College of Econom mics,
says, in an interview on "Women IN
Politics." in the October number of
Demorest's Magazine:
''This will be chiefly campaign of
education as far as the women are
concerned The average woman has
no training in political thinking and
knows but little about the important
questions of government; but she
has suddenly acquired a great thirst
for learning on the subject. The in
terest in politics that women have
eyinced within the last two or three
years aud are giving special express
sion to Just now, is so great and wide
spread as to cause astOnishment.
Through discussions at the women's
political clubs and reading they are
very rapidly acquiring a mastery of
the important political issues Of the
day, and are increasing more and
more in political influence. In the
East this is only an indirect influence,
but it is very powerful, nevertheless.
The mother has a strong influence on
her son, and if she possesses sound
political opinions the young man Will
become imbued with them; and in
most cases the wife's word goes a
long way with the husband"

AGRICULTURAL.

In times Of low prices for cheese or
butter, patrons of factories or cream
cries are apt to grow careless IN the
care Of milk, thinking it does not pay
to take the usual pains to insure good
quality. At the same time buyers
are apt to be more particular as to
the quality than ever, for the reason
that only goods of fine quality will
move off readily in the market. 1t
never pays to make poor butter Or
cheese, and the man who produces
the milk has great deal to do with
the quality Of either. A bad faint in
milk may not be detected when the
milk is being taken in, but may de-
velop when the milk is heated and
injure the whole product. The maker
can not control this by rejecting the
bad milk when being taken in, and
has to depend upon the carefulness of
the patron in performing his duties.

The English wife frowns upon any
discussion of her husbands bust
ness in her home. She holds this
as a strict rule with her husbands
friends who come to her house, and
she even carries it to such an extent
that she rarely speaks Of his business
even with him. The result is that
thousands of English wives know lit
tie or nothing of their husbands
business affairs. They are more often
ignorant of them than conversant
with them. The American wife diff
fers from her English sister in this re-
spect. She allows her husbands
friends to ''talk shop" when they
come to her home, and, as rule, she
is his most constant and confidential
adviser in matters of business. How
close the average American wife is to
her husbands business interests, and
how thoroughly conversant she is
with them, even the most causual OBJ
server of American life sees. English
men visiting America see this. One
of them recently said to me: 'I be-
heve one reason why you have in
America larger number of success
full business men than we have, is be-
cause the American husband makes
his wife sort of silent partner in his
business. He consults her, and her
counsel weighs with him. On sew
eral occasions I have been really
amazed to see how thoroughly con-
Versant American women were with
their husbands business affairs. 1t

were quiet but very potent factors in

There is story told of two we'll
known authors, both alive today, that
has q good deal of humor in it. 1t
seems that one of them had published
a book in which a few lines were
used that had been published in the
others book some years before.
Through a roundabout way the I'M
concious plagiarist heard that he had
used lines that had been published,
and he fastened to the original au-
thor protesting his innocence, and
hoping that he had not offended. He
claimed that he must have read
those lines when they originally
came out years before, and they had
SO impressed him that he wrote them
in his book believing them to be his
own thought. The original writer of
the lines laughed the matter off, and
humorously said:
'Pray don't bother, my dear Mr..
-. To tell you the truth, it's so
long ago since 1 wrote them that I've
quite forgotten whom I stole them
from. '-Hdrper's Round Table.
