District Court.

Judge Mack held Court here
Monday and Tuesday Of this week,
during which time the case OF
Bailey vs.. Littell, Douglass ct al
was tried before a jury. Tuesday
the jury rendered verdict in favor
of Bailey. The suit grew out of
the attachment and sale of some
cattle owned by Mrs. Bailey, which
were being wintered in Mason Val
ley. Some time ago Joe Douglass
foreclosed mortgage on the Bailey
ranch at the Sink of the Carson.
The residence and a plot of sur
rounding land was held as home
stead. This Mrs. Bailey finally
sold for $500 to Douglass. The
proceeds of this sale she invested
in beef cattle. These cattle Doug
lass attached and had sold last
Winter. The decision was that the
property was her own individual
property and was exempt from at
tachment. The case will probably
be appealed.

A Dangerous Practice.

Young persons, especially young wom-
en-, Who are particular about their per-
sonal appearance, are given to much
worry over moles and similar facial blem-
isles, and often resort to severe appli-
cations in the hope of removing them.
Their efforts are usually fruitless unless
they employ surgeon. who makes Il
clean and scientific excision. The dan
ger of irritating these growths is not
generally understood. Several cases are
on record where accidental bruises have
resulted in spreading the growth. In one
instance the mole developed enormous
spreading tendencies, covering the entire
surface of the body, resulting finally in
death. Physicians frequently warn their
patients that such blemishes should not
be interfered with, but rarely do they in
sist with sufficient earnestness. The fact
is that mole is potential sarcoma.
and if disturbed at all should be COM
pletely removed-NeW York Ledger

The Word Toast

The word toast" used for describing
the proposal of health in an after-din-
ner speech, dates back to medieval times.
when the loving cup was still regarded
as an Indispensable feature of every ban
quet. The cup would be filled to the
brim with wine or mead in the center
of which would be floating a piece of
toasted bread. After putting his lips
thereto the host would pass the cup to
the guest of honor seated on his right
hand, and the latter would in turn pass
it to his right-hand neighbor. In this
manner the cup would circulate around
the table, each one present taking a sip
while drinking toward his right-hand
neighbor, until finally the cup would
come back to the host, who would drain
what remained and swallow the piece Of
toast in honor of all the frien..s assem-
bled at his table.

WHERE SOLDIERS LIE.
French Have the Nest Comfortable Beds
of All.

French Have the Nest Comfortable Beds
of All.
The soldiers bed differs notably in the
different European armies. In England
the bed is hard; the soldier lies on a thin
mattress that rests on canvas stretched
over a frame. In Spain the soldier has
only straw bed. but he is allowed be-
sides this pillow, two sheets, two
blankets and quilt sometimes even a
cover for his feet. 1t is almost sybaritic.
In Germany and Austria he has a SIM
pie straw bed, with one or two covers;
neither sheet nor mattress. In Russia
until recently the soldier slept with his
clothes on. on a camp bed; but now or
binary beds begin to be used-the result
of contact with more civilized countries.
After this it cannot be doubted that the
French soldiers bed is the best of all,
with its wooden or iron bedstead, straw
bed, a good mattress. sheets, a brown
wooden coverlct and an extra quilt for
cold weather. Thus the bed of the
French soldier is the softest of all sol
diers beds, as that of the French peasant
is acknowledged also to be the best of all
European countries.

COMING OF CASSAVA.
Plant that is Easily Raised and is of Grea'
VRiue to be Grown in Florida.

Value to be Grown in Florida.
A movement is on foot to grow cas-
sava in Florida with view to the es-
adjustment of starch factories. Cas-
sava grows freely, even on poor soil, and
it is estimated that Florida can within
two years produce enough bulbs to keep
every starch factory in the United States
at work until the next crop comes IN.
The wonderful qualities and pToduc-
tlveness of cassaya are but little known
in this country. 1t will produce more
farinaceous food for man and beast
than the same area planted for any other
crop, except bananas. The juice OF the
bitter cassava after being subjected to
fermentation is boiled into dark, thick
preservative liquid. the cassareep of COM
merce, which the Denmark platerer uses
to keep alive" his ''pepper-pOt' from year
to year. The pepper-pot is an earthen
jar into which everything except fish,
left over from the breakfast, is thrown
every morning. The pot is then allowed
to simmer for awhile on a stove until
1t abSorbS the caSSareep, which gives 1t
an unmatched flavor, and it is sent to
table when required folded in a napkin.
The pepper-pot is never allowed to be-
come empty and is a standing-dish ct
every meal. 1t is replenished with fresh
cassareep every morning.
The cassava is made into flour
which is used for various kinds of cakes.
The trash" or refuse, after the starch
has been extracted, is nodded into thin,
fat cakes, which are dried in the sun.
These are Drowned on a griddle and
buttered for the breakfast table, for
which they form one of the most deli
cious farinaceous edibles known. AS a
