Set flowers on your table-a whole
nosegsy if you can get it, or but two or
three, or a single flower, arose, pink,
a daisy. Bring a few daisies or but
tercups from your last feld-work,
and keep them alive in little water
Preserve but bunch of clover, or a
handful of Towering grass-one of the
most elegant of natures productions
and you have something on your table
that reminds you of Gods creation,
and gives you link with the poets
that have done it most honor. Put a
rose, lily, or violet on your table,
and you and Lord Bacon have a GUS
tom in common; for this great and wise
man was in the habit of having flowers
in season set upon his table, we be-
lieve, morning, noon and night--that
is to say, at all meals, seeing that they
were growing all day. Now here is a
fashion that will last you forever, il
you please-never change with silks,
and velvets, and silver forks, nor be
dependent on caprice, or some fine
gentleman or lady, who have nothing
but caprice and changes to give them
Importance and sensation. Flowers
on the morning table are especially
suited to all. They look like the
happy wakening of the creation; they
bring the breath of nature into your
room; they seem the very representa-
tive and embodiment of the smiles of
your home. Detroit Free Press.

The average tourist la Southern Oalifor-
MA is surprised at the strong public senti-
ment against the liquor traffic I'm the land
OF the vine and wine press, and, particu-
larry, to IND the very unique high license
laws In force in dozens OF towns for tho
regulation of saloons and bar-rooms. The
temperance League of Great Britain has
sent to Southern California this season n
committee of five solely to study the sue
cess OF the temperance measures devised in
thls region Tor temperance purposes.
There is wide ocean of difference In
temperance sentiment in Northern and Cen
tral California-the land of Bret Harte's
theories and the free and easy mining vays
In Southern California. The difference has
been caused by the immigration of thou
sands OF New Englanders aud Iowa people
into the southern part of that State In the
last two decades. The new comers have
brought with them staunch ideas concern
ing temperance reform and religion and
the eold-time Californian of song and story,
with his vineyard and wine press, has fast
become the minority in this region. In
POMONA Valley, for instance, where New
Englanders predominated, but one small
winery remained. All the other wineries
OF ten years ago have gone out OF business
In the San Gabriel Valley, where the i'm
migration of Iowa and Maine people has
been heavy, less than one-flfteenth the area
OF vineyards of ten years ago remain. Hun
dreds Of acres formerly devoted to the
growing OF wine grapes are now occupied
by orange and lemon groves Of the Yam
KEGS and Iowans.
The atrocious murder of white woman
IN indian territory, the torture and burn
ing OF the suspected criminals Zone of
whom, at least, 1t is said was innocent), by
the infuriated people of Oklahoma, and tho
threatened uprising of the Indians, is all
traceable to whiskey. SO say the news
paper reports. Intoxicants cannot be OBJ
tained on the reservation, but row Of
saloons marks the line that divides It from
the territory Of Oklahoma. The Seminole
tribe Of Indians are, it is stated, the most
peaceful, prosperous and progressive peo-
pie In the territory, and every disturbance
which occurs in that region may be attribu-
ted to the sale of liquor to the red men by
the civilized CD whites.-Trenton IN. J.

A NIndern Diana.

Mrs. J. Bennett Stanford, a hand
some young English woman, is the
modern Diana. In company with her
husband she was the first white wo-
man who ever hunted in Somaliland,
that rough and comparatively unex-
plored region in eastern Africa
Rhinoceroses, tigers, leopards and
other denizens of the jungle and forest
received their death wounds from the
steady but sure aim of her rife. She
was the most successful in shooting
leopards. Nightly she was on the
search for them, attended by two or
more natives, ana seldom returned to
camp without trophy of her prowess.
With the exception of some slight
attacks of fever Mrs. Stanford bore
the trying climate-deadly to many
men-without any particular discom-
fort
Among the animals brought back by
this intrepid married couple were three
wildcats, one of which is now in the
London Zoo. But the skins of many
strange beasts adorn the parlors and
boudoir of this heroine's home, and
every one of them recalls to her a tale
of wild adventure.

In the course of a series of papers
on Cookery For Girls, i" continued in
the Woman's Home Companion, Sallie
Joy White gives these simple rules for
orderly housekeeping:
"Begin at one side and sweep to-
ward oneplace. Hold the broom close
TO the floor. Sweep with short strokes,
and let the broom take the dust along
the floor instead of tossing it in the
air.
81 wish every girl would learn the
rule for dusting by heart. 1 dare say
you have all seen the aimless way in
which the majority of girls-and wo-
men, too, for that matter--dust a room.
They seem to think there is no such
thing as systematic way of doing it.
Dust the room thoroughly. Begin at
one corner and take each article in
turn. Dust from the highest things
to the lowest, taking up the dust in the
cloth, but not brushing it off on the
floor. Shake the duster occasionally
in a suitable place, andwhen through,
wash and hang it to dry"

The city of San Luis Potosi is build
ing hall that will be the eighth won
der Of the world. Seven years ago a
dozen skilled stone-masons from
Pennsylvania we're imported to do the
ornamental carving of its front. One
Fourth of July member of the party
got drunk, and killed Mexican in a
barroom brawl.
He was tried, and condemned to be
shot. Then arose the certainty that
with him in the grave there was nc
one to do the fancy carving on the
City Hall. 1t was decided to keer
him at work, and shoot him when ht
had finished.
Every day, in summers shine and
winters snow, this workman hangs
like fly against the great white wall
and pecks away at gargoyles and grit
fms heads. A file of soldiers stand,
in the street looking mp at him.
- His life ends with his job, and they
say that he is the most deliberat,
workman ever in the Mexican Repub
lie. At the present rate of progress
according to the best obtainable calcu
lations, the front of the City Hall will
be sufficiently scrolled aud carved
about the middle of 1850. .-Chicag,
