Henry George, Jr., has gene to Califor.
MIA to gather material for the life he is
writing of his father. The book will prob
ably be finished early in the autumn. The
devotion to Henry Georges doctrines has
shown no abatement since his death. Since
he died over 1000 copies of Progress and
Poverty" have been sold, and when we
consider the immense number sold before,
and also the fact that the book is not an
oratorical tract but formal treatise and
q closely reasoned argument, we must all
low that the interest In his teaching is a
very decided one. This is shown further
in the attitude toward his new book 1.-The
Science of Political Economy" the book
which he was just finishing at the time he
was stricken down. II Is having a large
sale, and the reviewers are as one in treat
ing Ii as one of the most important books
Of the season. AS was to be expected,
they divide unequivocally In their opinions
of it--thosa on the one side, with unfailing
acknowledgements of Mr.. Georges ability
and sincerity, disappearing of it wholly in
its conclusions, while those on the other
side as heartily approve This Is the ex-
perience Of Progress and Poverty" over
again; all agreed that 1t was an extraord-
mary book. and then fell apart ardently
and even ilercely on the question Of its
truth. Il. c. Martin.

cottages and tents, ON the Frying Pan

ton, who have formed an association to
incorporate a summer town in which their
families may find refuge from the burn-
ing heat of Grand junction. where the
thermometer often reaches 100 in the

Muekawanago has Just been started,

steps have been taken to keep the mod

public. The promoters of the plan were
Orson Adams, DR.. Eldridge and Presi-

Grand Junction. The cliffs, covered thick

Frying Pan. and in the bend of the
stream the village is established. :s
A commodious cabin is commissary

every morning supplies of groceries,

during the day. -. ~. 4

weather and Potato Beetles.

Every potato grower understands that
whether the potato beetle and larya shall
become extremely destructive or shall be
easily prevented from, doing much injury
must always depend upon the weather.
In cool and above all wet weather, which
is the best for the potato, the larva will
increase slowly and can he easily de-
stroyed. But let torrid sun come forth
even for a single day, and almost ire
parable damage will be done. Proven
ton in such cases is better than killing
the beetles after they have begun to eat.
The eggs are invariably deposited on the
under side of the leaf SO as to be secure
from rains. But just so soon as the
larva are Matched, they work to the top
Of the leaf and eat in the sunlight.
There Il dose of Paris green should be
ready for them, so that their first mouth.
full shall be their last. The potato needs
all its foliage to mature its tubers. If
they are all eaten, or if the foliage is cut
off otherwise, the potatoes will be wa
terry or waxy, as they will lack the car
bonization which comes to potatoes from
the leaves. In the early days of the
potato beetle some farmers moved of
potato tops, thinking thereby to starye
the bugs and save their crop. But they
found at harvest that moving off potato
tops injured the potatoes exactly as eat
ing them off would have done.-Amer.

Artistic Shield

The artistic work of the navy depart
ment in designing shields for the bows
of the new warships has produced some
of the most graceful devices ever dis
played upon modern ships of war All
the new ships now are decorated on their
gangways with highly artistic scrollwork,
sometimes beautifully carved in solid oak,
but more frequently in brass. These are
the designs of an expert in the construc-
ton bureau at Washington and display
talent of high order. In the ward
rooms and cabins are similar carvings,
cmblematic of the state Or city from
which the vessel takes her name. On all
the new ships of the navy the American
shield has displaced as fgurehead the
designs carried ON the older vessels. This
is carved out of solid brass, with the stars
and stripes and the shield proper fitted
close around the slender bow, while scroll
work extends backward on either side
for a distance Of four or five feet The
New York, the Minneapolis and the Phil
adelphia have possibly the most elaborate
designs, some having cost $4,000 or $4,000

Rules for Making Jam ,

Jams are more wholesome than pre-
serves, easier to make. and are coming
to be almost universally preferred by cpl
cures themselves, says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
Everyone has rule or pet method in
this branch of cookery, and where it
is successful no better advice can be
given than to bid you follow your own
recipe. But where the results are not
perfectly satisfactory, Il few hints may
serve Il purpose.
First-See that the fruit is dry, or it
will not keep.
Second-It should not be too ripe nor
yet underripe, and it should be free OF
dust and dirt.
Third-1t is best if gathered early in
the morning.
Fourth-lt should he kept in /, cool
place-not on the ice-if it cannot bt
used at once.
Fifth-Get the best sugar. Cheap
sugar gives an unpleasant flavor. and
throws up much more scum than need be-
Sixth-Cse. copper kettle. or one lined
with porcelain. or very thick enamel
easily.
Seventh-Jam is best boiled fast, with
the lid off, and the time depends upon
the quantity and upon the degree Of heat
kept up. Boil always till Il small a amount
turns still when cooled on plate.
Hghth-Generally speaking, the sugar
and fruit are put together i'll equal quaint
tics. The best results are obtained if the
fruit is heated through till the juice flows
freely; the sugar heated very hot in q
pan and then added to the fruit
Ninth-When two sorts Of fruit are
put together. put in first the fruit which
will require most cooking.
Tenth-See that the jars are dry and
hot. Pour in the jam. Cover whcl
cold. Keep i'll a dry, cool closet.
Following is little table showing whcr
certain kinds of jam are best made. Bu
no hard-and-fast rules can be insisted
upon: 1t must always depend upon
whether it is an early or late season, il
wet or dry, and very greatly on the 10
cality.

Mad Cats Worse Than Mad Dogs.

According to the returns Just published
by the Pacteur institute at Paris, fully 1C
per cent. of the patients treated there owe
their injuries to the bites of cats afflicted
with hydrophobia. These wounds are
considered by the medical officers in at
tendance to present greater degree OF
danger than the bites of mad dogs, not be.
cause there is any difference in the virus
but because, in the first place, the teeth
of cats, being more pointed than those OF
dogs, inflict a deeper wound, and also be.
cause a mad dog usually fastens his fangs
into the arm, the hand Or the leg, while
a cat invariably jumps for the face of the
persons it attacks. The nerve centers arc
far more exposed in the face than III
either the arms or legs, and hence the
virus enters into the circulation more rap,

Capt. Smoo's Method of Obtaining Odore

ice and placed on retort stand, the
pointed end being placed in small glass
bottle, without touching it. After this,
the stand and the funnel are placed in a
greenhouse among the flowers. whose
odors it is desired to collect. Gradually
the vapor rises from the flowers and, in
meeting the colder surface of the fun
mel, condenses into drops on the outside
Of the glass. From the point of conden-
sation it trickles down until it drops into
the bottle. In surprisingly short time q
large amount of perfume is collected, and
it is claimed that 80 per cent. of the con-
tents of the bottle is perfume. The rest
is water. Strange to say, this essence of
the flower needs to be adulterated with
spirits of wine. Otherwise it would be-
come sour and useless.
Another new process for extracting the
perfume of flowers is that of Nj. J. Pas
sy. He sleeps the flowers in water,
perfume and fresh water is substituted
The flowers are thus kept fresh for a long
time, and their life is still further pro-
longed by the use of a special saline solu-
ton. The charged water is then evapor-
ated by, ether. This process is said to
have proved successful with many flowers
which previously were slow to yield up
their perfumes, notably the lily of the val
