An Insulting Pronoun.

The ritual of society, as women make
it, is very eXacting the world over, even
in almhouses. The London Outlook
reports serious trouble among a set
of workhouse officials.
The infirmary nurses, three in mum.
Der, had demanded a separate sitting
room and the delight of Sunday din
ner therein, and the matron had sought
to humble them by sending the cook to
enjoy her Sunday dinner in their COM
pany. The brawny cook described what
occurred as follows:
well, Nurse Blank she come down
and got inside the door,, -Four covers p
she says. -Four? Who's the fourth p
Me says I. 'You!' she says and with
that she losses her head and walks
away
Here cook drew a long breath, then
continued: IF it hadn't a. been Sun
day, gentlemen, I should have let her
have it for calling me 'you!'"

He had nothing to say as to this feat
ure, however, combining his remarks to
investigations he had made in botany
and natural history.
Il have been in Lower California
many times. said Professor Iesen, ''and
each time I am more convinced of the
immense resources of the peninsula. I
have gathered many specimens of nat
ural history for the Academy of Sci
ence. each time finding new ores Of
! more or less value. The territory is
rich, too, in gold and other minerals.
l passed through the Sierra Pintada
placers, and consider them a God-send
to the poor Mexicans, who are content
with low wages and have not been able
to do as we'll in other sections as they
are doing in the diggings. But l do
not believe the placers are inviting to
Americans, who expect large returns.
On my trip across the peninsula 1 saw
many Mexicans on the way to the ST.
ezra Pintada.
There are several products in the
horticultural line in Lower California
that should be introduced into this
part of our own State, on account OF
their value and adaptability to this CHI
mate and soil. Take the date palm, for
instance. At San IgnaciO, on the gulf
coast, this is the, principal industry.
There are fifty thousand date palm
trees growing there, and every year o.
GOO mule-loads of dates are taken from
San Ignacio for shipment to Mazatlan,
Guaymas and other points on the main
land
This date palm is not Indigenous to
Lower California, but is the offspring
Of the Spanish date palm brought to
Lower California by the padres nearly
two centuries ago. For a long time
was not sure whether it was the
Arabian date, or some other variety,
but l found that it was the Spanish
variety that grows so thriftily in Va
lencia, in Spain, and in Portugal. 1t
is very good, but the flavor is hardly
SO fine as the Arabian date, and the
stone is larger. But it is better adapt
ed to Southern California than the Ara
bian variety, and should be introduced
here. 1t would become very Valua-
BILE
1.-THE Mexicans use the date very ex-
tensively, both dried and for distilling
purposes. 1t commands good price
III the market, Is easy 10 cultivate, dlio
the trees make handsome grove. I
know of no reason why it could not be
grown to perfection around San Diego.
1t would certainly prove more success
full than the Arabian date in this sec
ton.
There are several varieties of the
Mission olive in Lower California that
would be valuable here, also Here in
California we have four or five varie-
ties of the Mission olive, but there
have found ten or twelve varieties, all
of great value. They, like the Spanish
date, are the descendants of the first
trees planted by the padres. The dried
olive is used extensively by the Mexi-
cans in that part of the peninsula for
food, very small percentage of the
crop being made into OIL

Canrobert and Madame Brohan.

. NJ Jules Claretie, the director of the
Coincide Franchise, who is now in Lon
don, tells pretty story in lie Journal
in an article on the timidity of actors
and actresses. On the evening of the
first representation of the late NJ. Pail
leron's play, lie Monde on Fon SEN
nuie," Madame Madeline Brohan, the
distinguished actress, was in the foyer
preparing to '.go on and in the same
place was the late Marshal Canrobert.
Madame Brohan was nervous, and her
usual charming smile was conspicuous
by it's absence. What is the matter,
my dear?" asked the Marshal, who no
ticed her uneasiness., What ails me?''
replied Madame Brohan. mon Dieu.

with an air of establishment. What is
that?" ct is fear, my dear Marshal
What, fear? Fear?" ct is quite true,'

smile. But you do not know anything

A Bit of Strategy.

laughed the young man in response to
a question from a friend who had re-
ceived one of the cards.
Her father isn't such a bad old chap
if you know how to handle him. I will
admit that getting his consent to our
marriage caused the girl and I no end
of concern, but I went at it in the right
way and won out.
Her father is a man who likes to
have his own way, which as matter
of fact is bound to be different from
that of any one else. Knowing this l
called upon him at his Office to get his
ask it in a direct way.
81 suppose you know I began, as
the old man sat on his chair and glared
at me, that I have paid a good deal
of attention to your daughter. Much to
my regret it has gone much farther
than 1 wish it had. Your daughter has
assured me that 1 alone can make her
happy, and 1 am afraid that she speaks
the truth. I will be candid with you,
sir, and say that at one time I thought
l loved her, but l have found one whom
/ love more, and I have called upon
you, sir, for assistance in breaking off
an attachment that I have found I'M
bearable.'
What's that?' shouted the old man,
sitting bolt upright on his chair.
Your assistance, SIR 1 continued.
L know that you have been opposed to
my marrying your daughter, and 1
thought that you would be willing to
assist me in breaking the unfortunate
attachment that your daughter bears
for me-
'Never.' roared the old man. You
miserable scoundrel! What do you
mean by playing with my daughter
heart and then casting it lightly aside
BY heavens, you will marry her or 1
will know the reason why! At once,
sir. at once!'
well, there is no use repeating all
the old man said, for he kept it up until
he ran out of breath and had succeeded
in frightening me into agreeing to
marry the girl.
1.-The old man is all right if you know
how to handle him. l have served
notice on him that don't want him to
make a vulgar display by placing a
check among the wedding presents, and
if there isn't a fat check there I'll lose
my guess. Detroit Free Press.

Master the Clouds.

Be master of the Clouds,
Let them not master thee;
Compel the sunshine to thy soul,
However rough the sea.
Be not as those who own
Nor hope nor glow of faith;
Beyond the clouds the light remains
And true life conquers death.
Be thou of good cheer yet,
Though dark and drear the way:
The longest night wears on to dawn,
And dawn to perfect day.
Possess thy soul in calm.
Let patience rule thy heart
And in gray shades of clouded times
Bear thou the hero's part.
There shalt thou know the flush
OF happy, radiant days;
For he who trusts God in the dark
Is taught new songs of praise

Short Chats on Advertising.

The local weekly is the best med
ium for the local merchant.
1t is easier to write an "original"
advertisement than a good one.
Local topics, deftly touched, are
likely to gain regular readers for any
advertising.
The successful advertisers are
known more by their method than by
the amount they spend.
Don't be tedious in your advertis.
ing talk. Better leave a little to be
said tomorrow than to be tiresome
to-day.
No one person in five thousand
reads an advertisement twice. You
must impress with the first reading or
the effect will be the last. =
The hardest thing in adwriting is
to write plain, common sense, every.
day talk. 1t seems easy to write this
kind of an ad., but when one attempts
to CO it he soon learns how difficult ii
is.
The advertiser must keep the fact
in mind that it is very easy to fall out
of the procession and get lost. Let
any man retire to some place and keep
his friends in ignorance of his where
abouts, and within three months they
will have ceased to think of him or
speak of him.
Advertising is a great deal like eat.
ing. You can not eat very large
meal and expect to 60 without eating
again for the next week or ten days;
neither can you advertise successfully
by using a medium one issue and then
dropping out of sight three or four
issues.
Advertising is not gamble" nor
is it a Speculation" There is no
more risk in it than in keeping
store," or manufacturing plows or
harrows, or clothes, or sending men
on the road, or the thousand and one
other things that every business man
does for the furthering of his bus
ness.
Advertising is as recognized a
branch of business as the buying or
manufacturing of goods. When one
neglects it, or mismanages it, he is
as the man who buys inju diciously, or
as one who manufactures unstable
wares. Just as the merch ant studies
his goods and learns where and how
to buy to best advantage, so it is his
duty if he would succeed to learn what
advertising means and use printers
ink carefully.

How to Wait.

Our English proverb says that
Everything comes to him who waits"
but the French saying reads with ad-
ditional words, Everything comes
to him who knows how to wait" And
according to psychology, which is fast
becoming an exact science, thanks to
at least one American, Professor Will
lam James, of Harvard, this addition
is most important. Common-sense
should teach us that no matter how
much we may desire thing we will
never attain it so long rs we are recon-
ciled to rocking chair philosophy of
life and continue to sit in resigned ex-
pectancy. Whenever we sincerely
wish to obtain an end we, uncon.
sciously perhaps, bend our actions to
the attainment of that result. In this
connection our distinguished COM
patriot says: whatever determines
attention determines action" 1t may
be years before the wish is an &C.
complished fact, and we may be much
occupied with other more pressing
matter, neverthel less sooner or later it
arrives. A perfectly honest retro.
spection of ones own life will be am
pie verifcation of this fact. The way
to hasten the coming is to use all
spare moments in wisely directing our
thoughts and energy to the longed-for
object. Harper Bazaar.

Breathing the fumes of turpentine
or carbolic acid will relieve whooping
cough.
Green cucumber parings strewn
around the kitchen and cupboards will
put an end to reaches.
Rub acetic acid we'll into a Shiny
PONCE and then rinse in several lots
o warm water and it will be as good
as new.
Fresh eggs sink when put in water.
Bad ones float. Those that are neither
real fresh nor thoroughly bad act
suspiciously.
Bits of'silk or woolen cut into strips
and sewed together hit or miss, or in
solid colors, can be sent to the weav-
ers to return as portieres or rugs.
Mayonnaise made by stirring olive
oil into the beaten yolks of eggs will
never "turn" if the oil has been placed
on Ice for some time before using it.
The common moth will not approach
red pepper, nor those shiny, silvery
pests that frequent damp places, but
the more formidable bu flalo bug is net
to be af1righted by either.
Charcoal is useful article about
the house and can be used to great
sanitary benefit. A piece of it should
always be left in the icebox, and in
the pantry, as it will absorb all OBJ
jectionable odors.
Keep little package OF absorbent
cotton in one OF the sideboard drawers.
If oil, milk or cream is spilled on a
woolen dress or coat bit of the cot
ton instantly applied will remove all
traces of the stains.
If whipped cream is wanted quickly,
and no churn or egg Leater is at hand,
have the cream very cold, put in a
cold glass fruit jar, with an alright
cover. Half fill the jar with the cream,
fasten the cover tightly, and shake the
jar vigorously.
Camphor, if applied thoroughly, will
kill moths in carpets. The safest way
to do is to take .1ut the tacks, turn
back and wash the Dashboard in strong
camphor water. Replace, saturate
towel with the solution, lay on the
edge of the carpet and press with a
very hot iron.
If child needs nourishment, one
of the simplest forms in which it eau
be taken is by the raw whites of eggs.
These are nutritious and easily di-
gested. The white is broken into a
jar with what milk is desired and the
two shaken thoroughly together. A
pinch of salt may be added before
drinking. if preferred.
