TuIare Lake Dries I'm.

Tulare Lake has passed out of exist ence. Where once there was a body of water in central southern California more than 1000 square miles in area there is now only a barren desert of mud, drying and cracking in the heat of the desert sunshine. For years this lake has been known as the largest body of fresh water west of the Rocky Mountains. It was over eighty miles long and about thirty-five miles across at the widest point. It's depth was never very great. From 1854 to 1872 the wa ters of the lake changed very little in area. It was about these years that irrigation was started in the valley around Visalia and Bakersfield, and the shrinkage became very rapid. The Kings River and Tulare River were tapped in several places, and the water that would have gone into Tulare Lake was spread out over the dry pastures and cornfields. From 1872 to 1875 the shrinake was not marked. The south ern end of the lake contracted and took the form of a creek. It narrowed until it was not more than a mile wide, and had drawn up from the southern end at least fifteen miles. Between 1875 and 1880, when vineyards began to be planted, the waters shrunk up almost to the borders of Tulare County. In 1882 they crossed it and left Kern County altogether.-Boston Transcript.
The St. Johns herald., 1898-12-03

It Is happily suggestive of the sta bility of our government and the im- mensity and variety of our national in- terests that while the war was in prog ress executive departments not direct ly concerned were working as quietly and methodically as in times of peace. For instance, during the month of July the Department of Agriculture pub lished about ninety maps, charts, books and pamphlets. Excluding from the list the plans and diagrams sent out by the Weather Bureau, fifty publica tions remain. In the matter of size, they vary from the four-page Crop Circular" the statistical abstract and forecast which is prepared monthly and regularly reprinted in the daily pa- pers, to the first volume of an elaborate treatise on American Grasses" con taining more than three hundred pages and nearly as many illustrations. These fifty publications have an equal ly wide range. The Department of Ag- riculture has twenty bureaus, divisions and officers, and thirteen of them are represented in the literary output for the month. Among the many and di- verse subjects to which pamphlets were devoted are: The larger apple-tree borers, the periodical cicada, principal poisonous plants of the United States, the trade of Puerto Rico, fax-culture for seed and fibre, the beet-sugar indus try, the care of milk on the farm, corn culture in the South, and food adultera- tiOn. These essays, it must be remem- bered, are prepared by men who can speak with authority. Almost without exception, they record original investi- gations, as we'll as the results attained by experimenters in other lands. They are not written in the '.jargon" of science, but in the language of the peo- pie, and as a whole they impress us as eminently timely, practical, compre- hensive and useful Some of the pam phlets are sold at a nominal price, merely to insure that they shall not fall into unappreciatiye hands; others, more popular in character, are sent free to any applicant The department issues a monthly list of publications, which is mailed regularly to. all who write to the department at Washing ton and ask for it, and this describes every publication, gives its cost, if any, and tells how and where to procure it. We advise farmers to arrange to keep in touch with it. It should be a pleas ure, as it is clearly duty, to sustain a national institution which serves and honors our most important national in- tereSt

the Saturday Evening Post. If we would reform the world we must re- form the individual. Let us begin to perfect that individual who is nearest to us-ourself. Let us put this individ- ual into perfect harmony in the three unities of individual relation, and we have modified the life of the whole world. All Nature is most beautiful recognition of individuality. We see anything only by the light that comes from it, the light it individually sends out, yet on all earth and in the endless heavens the billions of lines of relation between each object and our eye are preserved perfect and complete. So in each of the other senses Nature recog- nizes individuality in all things. There was something beautiful about that prayer of the Pharisee: Lord, 1 thank Thee I am not as other men are" But he should have thanked God not that he was superior, or that he was greater, or that he was richer, but only that he was a little different; that he was him. self-individual.

Shawl Fit for an Empress.

One of the most wonderful shawls in existence is a woolen wrap presented as wedding gift to the empress of Rus sia by the women of Orenburg, town in the southeastern part of the empire When spread out 1t is ten yards square, but is so exquisitely fine that it may be passed through a finger ring, and when folded makes a parcel a few inches square. The shawl reached the empress in wooden chest, with silver locks and hinges, the outside embellish- ed with designs of spears, turbans, whips, etc, in ground of blue enamel, this being the color of the Cossack uni. form. On the inside of the box is gracefully worded inscription, begging the empress to accept the gift from ''her faithful and devoted subjects"

MANY PRIZES
Awarded Annually in Paris for curf.
 ous Reasons.

The city oT Paris eacI gear distrib- utes a number of prizes, consistips of sums of money derived from funIs be- queathed by certain charitable persons for special objects. There are prizes for the father of the most numerOus family in a given arrondissemeEt: sums to be bestowed on promising young art ists unsupplied with funds to prosecute their studies, and so forth. Another prize has been added to this list It is for the best instance of a wife's help ing her husband by work. The founder is a NJ. Achille Couronne, formerly chief in the Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture, whose hard-working wife was of immense help in his career. The sum bequeathed returns a yearly in- come of over 5000 francs. The condi. tions necessary for competition are: To be Parisian by birth, and to have been married ten years to a husband en- ployed in a state bureau, and earning not more than $500 francs a year.
 There were 100 applicants for the prize, and, as may be imagined, some little d1fnculty was experienced in aS- signing it. Finally, however, the votes of the committee fell to Mme Clerge- rie, who, though the mother of five chil- dren, has never ceased to contribute to the family funds by working as flor ist. Legacies of the above character. however good their intent, do not al. ways have the result anticipated by the testator, case in point being the Goncourt will, which has done nothing up to the present time but give rise to fights and dissension. After a series of legal battles the executors of the will and the three nearest relatives of the deceased man of letters have set tied their differences out of court. The net result is that the relatives get 400,- 900 francs and the academy 100000 francs.-Galagnani's Messenger.

New Way yto Preserve Rod;as

A Neapolitan physician has intro. duced a new system of preserving bodies from corruption. He simply gives the body a series of baths in liquid which prevents decomposition for an indefinite period. For anatomi- cal purposes the body may be made to resume Its primary freshness, but if the bath treatment is sufficiently in. dulged in the subject attains the den- sity and consistency of marble, and gives forth a metallic ring when touch ed with metal. Though the sole inten- tion of the inventor was to preserve subjects for the dissecting- room, 1t is believed that his process may super sede refrigeration in cases of long tram sit of carcasses of beasts.
