IA Life Worth LiviOKS

If there is an individual OH earth who is
excusable for thus interrogating himself. it
is the unhappy mortal who suffers from
M alaria in some one of its diabo!icai forms.
This is no difficult conundrum, however.
Life is worth living by any man or woman
who enjoys good health, and isnot harassed
by areproachful conscience. The m alarial
scourge, heavily laid on, is terrible one
TOR the poor sufferer to endure. A series
of freezings, screenings and sweats-the
last leaving one as limp and as strengthens
as a dish rag. are hard indeed recurring as
they do with fiendish regularity. Hostel

known preventive and curative Of this
class of maladies. either in tne form OF

matism, kidney and bladder complaints.

Household Chat,

Wrap your fruit jars in newspa.
pers and set in cool, dark place
The wrapping will prevent the fruit
from bleaching.
Small, quantity shaped gilt bas-
kets filled with sweet peas and with
the handles of the baskets decorated
with dainty bows of ribbon, match
ing the blossoms in color, are pop
ular for favors at dinner parties.
Orange juice is one of the bes,
dressings for black shoes or boots.
Take a slice or a quarter of an
orange and rub it on the shoe or
boot. When dry, brush with soft
brush until the shoe shines like a
looking glass. This is an English
recipe.
An old housekeeper says the
cleanest and best dishwasher is a
round whisk broom made of the
finest and best broomcorn. It is
cleaned readily by holding under
the spigot and running hot water
through it; after which hang it in
the air to be dried. This does away
with the annoyance of a discolored
and often musty dishcloth.
Delicious Canned Peaches.
Mrs. S. T. Rorer, gives her popu-
lar formula for canning peaches in
the August Ladies Home Journal.
Pare and remove the stones and
throw the peaches into pan OF
cold water" she directs. Weigh
and to each four pounds allow 8
pound of sugar and quart of water
Put the sugar and water over the
fire, boil and skim. Drain the
peaches, put them in the syrup,
bring slowly 20 boiling point, then
simmer gently until tender, not soft,
Lift each piece carefully, arranging
it in the jar, fill quickly with syrup
and fasten at once. Or pare the
peaches and pack them at once into
the jars. Fill each jar with cold
water. Place them in a boiler, and
as soon as the water boils around
the jars adjust the rubbers, fill to
overlooking with boiling water and
seal without delay. Pears may be
canned in the same way. Apples,
being more difficult to keep than
the other large fruits, should be
cooked at once in syrun.v

General Harrison has just COM
pleted the revision of his articles
which have appeared in The Ladies
Home Journal, making extended
notes and additions to them. There
is little story connected with both
articles and publication. When the
arrangement for the articles was
made with General Harrison by Ed
ward w. Box, editor of The Ladies
Home Journal, the General was
paid for them, with the understand
ing that when they were put into
book form the magazine was to
share the royalties accruing there
from. Mr.. Box, however, of his own
accord, generously released General
Harrison from paying him any roy
atty, for the reason, as he states,
that by the publication of the arti-
Giles Dy General Harrison the sub
scription list of his magazine was
enlarged many thousands.

fShe Named Idaho.

The Tacoma Ledger says Mrs
Gov. William H. Wallace, who Is
now living quietly at her pleasant
home at Steilacoom, says she named
the State of Idaho and is the only
woman in the United States who
enjoys such distinction. Mrs;
Wallace named Idaho in honor OF
her niece, Idaho Jackson. who re-
ceived her name from an Indian
chiefs daughter, who lived at Pike 8
Peak, and who was greatly beloved
by all the miners and settlers OF
that region. Mrs. Wallace was also
asked by the COMMITTEES on Terri
tories to name Montana, but she re.
fused, and told them that she bad
honor enough in naming Idaho.

Very Much Alive.

John Novak, an old-time pros
pector, known all over Idaho a.
Bohemian john" has gone to At
lanta to remove the headboard from
bis own grave. In 1893 Novak was
chopping timber near that place and
saw an old bear with a cub. He
wanted cub and captured it, after
killing the old bear with an ak. He
carried the cub to town and went
back to his work.
That was the last time he was
seen, but the next spring the bones
of man were found near the place
beside the skeleton of bear. A
knife, such as Novak carried, was
found near the place and his friends
supposing he had been killed in an
encounter with bear, gathered to-
gether the bones, buried them and
placed at the head of the grave a
board with the inscription, SACRED
to the Memory of Bohemian John,
Killed by a Bear, $685." Novak
only heard of his death at Noun
tain Home the other day, when on
his way back to Atlanta. He had
simply gotten tired of the camp and
gone to California, where he has been
prospecting the past four years.
Brakeman Killed.
Harry L. Smith, brakeman, lost
his life on the evening of the 3Oth
ult., while switching at Nampa. He
caught his foot in a frog and fell,
the wheels of one car passing over
his right leg. He died few hours
after the accident Mr.. Smith was
a dispatcher at Pocatello until the
wreck at American Falls on May
9th. He was on duty that night
and gave the orders for the trains
that collided. The wreck was, how
ever, no fault of his. The trains
could have passed on his orders
had not the freight crew lost control
of their train. Nevertheless, Smith
lost his job, the company, however,
giving him the choice of the super
lntendency of the telegraph Office
a. Ogden or the job of brakeman
on the Boise branch. After consid-
ering the matter he accepted the
latter because it left him in the line
Of promotion, and about a month
ago, with his young wife and child,
