STORY OF THE WEST.
Hsueewife's Strait When a Hundred
Miles from a Yeast Cake.

Not hundred miles by rail, but by n
birch-canoe in summer, dog or single
single pony-team in winter. An ex-
perience with life under these con-
ditions is related by Mrs. Campbell in
the American Kitchen Magazine. She
was living at an army post In the ex-
treme Northwest, and the fermented
-four and water in use there smelled
like Limburger cheese; so that when
thoughtful housewife, at a more favor
ably situated post, sent her two yeast
cakes, her delight may be imagined.

Boston Traveller now suggests that Il Ger

the herd. and they would be the greatest

the Detroit team will be minus six faces

AMERICAN VIOLIN WOOD.
Excellence Of the Bar Maple Grown on
the Pacific Coast.

1t has been recently discovered that the
bar maple wood grown in Washington is
superior to any wood yet tried i'll the
manufacture of small-Stringed instru-
ments. such as violins. This is verified
by the practical experience and testimony
Of wel-hnown Chicago instrument max
cr He found that the Washington maple
is superior 10 any he has yet used. and
he has. therefore. been importing maple
from the mountain regions of Switzerland
aS the best he could find in the world.
The Washington maple seems to possess
the necessary qualities of being very diff
cult to split. capacity for satiny finish,
resonance. strength and lghtneSs in the
superlative degree. While the demand for
such wood does not call for any
great amount it is steadily increasing, and
will almost command lis own price. As
