A Few Delicious Salads.

This is the most difficult season of the
year for the brain of the busy housewife
to devise new dishes with which to
tempt the fitful appetite.
A daininteSs of service should charac-
terize every meal, and with a little
thought and care this may be accom-
plished. 1t becomes an fr1some mat
ter 10 plan (and in may cases, prepare
and serve) three meals every day, but if
one plans her work carefully the great
est amount Of it may be done in the
morning while it is cool.
A salad gives tone to a meal that no
other dish can. At this season any
amount or dainty salads may be made
Win very little work and expense
Ihere are two rules which should be
observed in the making of every salad:
II snould be crisp and cool, and should
never be mixed until time to serve it
A dainty way to serve salad is to line
the salad dish with crisp lettuce leaves
and arrange it so that in serving each
one may receive a leaf containing the
salad.
Following are a few simple receipts
for warm weather salads. Either nav

WEIRD PLAINS OF Ia MANcHA.

Melancholy Ruins In This Land of the
Dead.
Starting from the Argamasilla be-
fore daylight our little mule had
trudged during eight long hours the de
nuded inhospitable plain of La Mancha
where the unchecked cold blasts from
the Sierras held wild riot in the winter,
and which was now lying PROSTATE I'M
der the furious caresses of the sun,
says writer in Scribner's; her parched
soil bursting now and anon with dull
sounds like the means of a creature in
pain. When we became aware of the
proximity of the highway we were
looking for, it was by some ruins, in
evitable concomitants of this land OF
the dead. Before these silent, melan-
choly remains and in the absence of the
living, one can feel the presence of the
dead. IT'S as if the past centuries were
walking by the side of the traveller,
keeping him company and little i'm
agination is needed to people again
this great artery of human communi-
cations thrown across the undefIed
country by the Romans with Iberians,
Goths and Moors, with Spaniards of the
time when Spain was the most power
full country of the civilized world-and
see Isabella, Charles ", the sombcr
Philip, speeding on in all the splendid
paraphernaliao of royalty, and with their
retinue of naughty Castilians. What
a sense of the swing of history one has
in such places, and before the eternity
of nature how ephemeral and inconse-
quential human life seems!

THE INvINClBLE ARMADA.
Some Historical Points About SPAIN,
Formidable But stOrm-Wrecked
Fleet.

A correspondent of the New York
Press recalls the history of the elm
yincible Armada" which sailed from
Lisbon, Spain, against England in 1858.
That feet was composed of 129 large
vessels, carrying 1925 soldiers, $500
sailors and about 1000 slaves as rowers.
It was most formidable feet, one Of
the most formidable fleets of the time.
A storm in Spanish waters destroyed
several vessels of the "Invincible Ar
NADIA" and the rest put into port for
repairs. When everything was in readi-
ness again the fleet started and en-
tered the English channel, sailing along
in the form of half moon, nearly
seven miles broad. They were met by
the English feet, consisting of 30 ships,
which had been increased by the addi-
ton of merchantmen and privateers to
about $50 vessels, under Lord Howard,
of bingham, Drake and others.
They fought. And it soon appeared
that the great Armada was anything
but ''invincible," for Drake sent eight
blazing freships into the midst of the
Spanish fleet. In terrible CONSERVATION
the Spaniards tried to get out to sea,
and so became dispersed. The English
pursued, storm came on and drove the
Spanish vessels among the rocks and
shoals. The "invinvible" fleet, with a
loss of 80 great ships and 10000 men,
defeated and disgraced, sailed home
again.

Railroad without Cars.

In the forest of Bridal Veil, Ore, not
far from the Dalles, there is a rail-
road which does business without cars
An article in the Northwestern Lum-
herman, describing the work of this
company, has a picture of "train'' on
the road, which consists of an ordinary
locomotive, such as are common en- lor-
ging roads, and a string of logs, each
log being as large in diameter as tho
boiler of the engine, or larger. Boards
are na'led to the sleepers between the
rails, and en- these the logs slide. Elk
ccpt en- descending grades, the boards
arc CREASED, and the train moves at
good speed. Where the road is level
or slightly ascending, the engine pulls
the logs, and where it is descending it
holds them back. At the mills of this
company the manufactured lumber. re.

ONE HOT DECEMBER DAY.

Its Memory Made Imperishable by the
Death Of John Brown.
"This is the anniversary of the hot
test day I ever knew in winter" said the
old meteorological member, as the club
men came in, blowing their cold fingers
and stamping their chilled feet, says the
Utica Observer.
"In what year?" asked a young mem
Der.
I'm the year 1859. The morning
opened cloudy and it looked like rain
Then at about noon it cleared off and
the thermometer, which had indicated
q temperature Of 70 degrees, suddenly
rose to about 80 degrees, at which it
remained all the rest of the day Even
the night failed to bring relief, and dur.
ing the evening it was curious to note
the citizens of Utica sitting by theil
open windows, vainly striving for q
breath of fresh air.
"But how do you remember so ex-
actly what took place so long ago."
by connecting it with an event OF
historical interest which is not likely
ever to pass from my mind"
"And what was it?''

which took place at Charlestown, Va. iii
is now Charlestown, w. va9, on the
I'd day of December, 1885,"

volcanic Upheayals I'm the Depths OF
The northeast coast of Hondo, the
largest of the japanese islands, extends
nearer than any other land to the
tremendous submarine hole in the
earth's crust known as the Tuscarora
Deeps, says Scribner's. This is the deep
est part of the ocean so far as'men know
of; it is almost as deep as the topmost
peak of the Himalayas is high.
Throughout its hundreds of miles of
width and breadth there are submarine
volcanoes. The seismic philosophers
think that through some volcanic up
heaval in these depths earthquake vi
brations were transmitted along the
ocean bottom to the shore, and a sudden
rise of the waters level sent the tioal
wave on it's GRAND of destruction. The
earthquake shocks, which travel at a
rate of speed varying from two to TWEEN

pan, and it was not until $3.50 o'clock

that the slower-moving waves of water
we're announced by portentous loom
rig sounds. Only four miles away from
the coast fishermen were unaware of
the presence of any extraordinary wave
Rut when the on-moving volume Of
water reached the steep sides of the
sea bottom and mounted up to the shall
low places, the wave grew to a height of
20 to so feet and hurled itself into the

the feeble bikes which the Japanese
fishermen and rice-planters had built
to defend their low-lying homes.
