A Novel Chariot.

Among all the splendid chariots that
appeared at the carnival in Paris the
X-ray chariot was the most curious. 1t
was in the form of an angry sea, with
big whale moving along on the surface
and an electrician perched upon rock
behind. The scientific man pointed his
apparatus at the whale in order to dis.
cover what was inside the monster.

To Wash SILK Underwe,r

Great care should be taken when
washing silk underwear. Soap never
should be rubbed directly upon the
garment. Strong soap suds made OF
warm water and white soap will be
found best. Squeeze the garment In
this water, and then, II the garment Ia
very much soiled, pass 1t through an.
other warm suds and then rinse In very
lukewarm water. Press between the
hands to get out the water. Shake
well, and pull into shape, and when
the garment is nearly dry press II on
the wrong side with a moderately hot
iron.

How to Make Plain Meal Delightful

How to Make pain Meal DeiiRnuus
md Acceptable.
A simple and dainty breakfast Is one
of the most delightful things in the
world, and the woman who can serve
It in an acceptable manner ought to be
considered better housewife than she
who serves rich feasts unattractively.
A chop set forth on glittering china
on cloth of shining damask is better
than the rarest bird in the market
brought on in slovenly style. Toast
and tea may make feast with white
linen and glistening silver when all the
delicacies of the season would be poor
meal if carelessly served. Always have
the tablecloth spotless and fresh, even
IL you have to convert every day Into
wash day to compass It, Always have
silence cloth, though there Is no des.
sert for week in order that It may be
paid for. Always have a bit Of green
in the center of the table. Let the sill
yer, even II it is plated, be shining,
ard the glass, though 1t be pressed
and not cut, be glistening.
Have the accessories of banquet
though the main part of 1t be lacking,
Serve olives, radishes, salted almonds
and the like with the plainest Of family
dinners. You may make the last-named
yourself at trifling expense. Heat one
teaspoonful OF best butter, or one scant
teaspoonful of olive oil, smoking hot
Add one-half pound Of Jordan almonds,
blanched. When the almonds begin to
brown, sprinkle over them one scant
tablespoonful OF salt, and stir and
shake until all are a goldenqhrown. Oil
gives richer glaze than butter. To
blanch the almonds pour over them
boiling water, in which let them stand
Is minutes. Rub the skin off with q
coarse cloth.
When the family wearies of the regu.
lation desserts, give 1t cake with sliced
oranges. A delicious dessert cake Is
white layer. To make 1t beat to
cream ~ cupfuls of sugar and three
quarters Of cupful of butter. Add
three-quarters of cupful of milk, two
cupfuls Of flour, one teaspoonful Of
baking powder, one teaspoonful Of van.
lila and white Of four eggs. Bake in
layers. Maple sugar frosting gives o
delicious flavor to plain cake. To make
1t boil one-half cupful of white sugar,
one cupful Of maple sugar and little
cold water. Boil it till it forms fine
hairs when dropped from the spoon.
Add one-half cupful each OF butter and

Twisting Tobacco.

When the raw leaf tobacco reaches
The factory it is in large hogsbeads
packed tightly and done up in "hands,"
just as it comes from the curing house.
The first process is to strip the stems
out of the wide red leaves and smooth
the heaviest Of them into long strips for
wrappers. These are dampencd so they
will roll readily without bursting, then
they are handed over to the skilled
workmen, who turn them into hand
some twists like magic. This process is
most interesting and shows what skill
may be acquired by practice. Each
workman stands at long table, upon
which is piled the loose filters and wrap
pers. At his right is rack provided
with n sat bottom, which allows the
twists to dry. Deity taking up a hand
full of loose tobacco and two long, slen-
der leaves, the workman quickly trans
forms the mass intota long roll and
doubles 1t into an ounce or two-ounce
twist. Each workman has small coun-
ter scale at hand, set to weigh The exact
amount of tobacco he Is to put in each
twist. So skillful do these men become
that they scarcely ever miss tie correct
weight the fraction of an ounce. The
best workmen roll from 1900 to 2,100

ANAHEIM

ANAHEIM, Aug. 14.-(Regular Corre-
spondence) The shipments of sugar beets
from this section have fallen off owing to
the fact that the Chino and Ventura beet
growers are now delivering large quanti-
ties to the factory. The largest daily ship
ment so far was 900 tons. No beets were
sent out Thursday. Something over 5000
tons have already been shipped to the
Chino factory. The average per cent of
sugar in the beets is a little over II. The
farmers get $3.50 per ton for IL per cent
beets and 25 cents for each additional per
cent, so that an average of II per cent
gives them 81. rs per ton, and if allowed the
extra rs cents per ton on account OF the
tariff they will realize SIS per ton gross.
This is a good price for the beets but the
trouble this year Is the shortage in the
tonnage, some beets yielding as low as
three tons per acre. A larger tonnage per
acre, even though the per cent of sugar
was less is better for the farmer and
better advertisement for our county.
