rha worId. Lnreest Hopyards.

1t Is not generally known, but the
largest hopyards in the world are
in California. along the Sacramento.
Russian and Feather rivers. aud the
very biggest hopfield on earth Is at
Pleasanton. in Alameda county. where
there are 36S acres. with more than
$4,000 vines under one wire.
AS the picking must all be done oy
hand and within the short season
when the blossoms are at their best, an
army of people has to be suddenly
mustered for the harvest. The mild
climatic conditions that favor the de-
yelopment Of the hop aad the pleasant
inland valleys where it is grown COM
bine to make hop picking something
of a summer time delight. for the work
is neither difficult nor arduous. and
the pay is fair.
There are but two dra wbacks to
hop picking. 0Ee is so called hop
poisoning. which IS simply a sort OF
prickly heat or rash sometimes pro-
duced by contact of face and arms
with the nettlelike fuzz on the stalks
of the hop vine. II does not affect all
pickers. The other is the dark stain
Ing of the hands resulting from the
resin Of the blossom. 1t may he re-
moved by rubbing with the crushed
green leaves Of the hop.-San Francis

A Fine Distinction.

A young down town drug clerk who
had heard the story Of the coiored wo
man who lad asked for flesh colored
court plaster and wos given black by
the observant dealer stored the Incl
dent away In his mental dust box and
decided to use 1t at the first opportu
nifty. He had. not long to wait, for
few nights ago a comely colored gir
stepped into the store where be was
employed. "Ah wants some cou't plas
ter" she said.
What color? inquired the clerk
with affected nonchalance.
Flesh cullah. sah."
Trembling in his shoes and keeping
within easy reach Of heavy pestle
the clerk handed the woman q box OF
black court plaster. and he was sur
prised at the time that the situation ar
forded 80 little hunor. The. woman
opened the box with deliberation thai
was ominous. but she was unrufieC
when she noted the color Of the con
tents.
"Ah guess yo' mus a-misunderstood
NAB ordah. All asked fob flesh cullah
and yo' done give me skin cullah."
The drug clerk is still little dazed
from the encounter. and he has firmly
resolved to subject every joke to rigid
laboratory test hereafter before using

Treatment For Sprafng.

The prevalence Of sprains and strains

A little common sense treatment IS
often all that is needed when the strain

frghtful looking bruise. but from the
first it should have complete rest anu

the hot being used at first. when the
swelling Is painful. and the cold later
on. as a sort Of tonic to the relaxed
muscles. The hot must be very hot
and the cold very cold. as the tepid
water does harm rather than good.
For the first day Of strain. when
all the wrenched cartilages and mus
cles are aching. great relief Is found In
a poultlce OF egg and salt. To make 1t.
beat the white Of an egg till light, but
not stiff. Stir in gradually cup and
a half OF salt, or more If needed, to
make thick, pastelike icing. Spread
this on q cloth and bandage In place.
Cover all with oil silk or a thick bath

egg leaks out continually. After this
has relieved the soreness begin with

Bird rnte1liRence.

During a high wind one summer day
a young or!ole was thrown from Its
nest to the ground. 1t was picked up
by kind hands and kept In the house
till the storm was over and then plac ~
on the roof of the piazza. A watch
was kept behind the closed blinds OF
window ne8r by to note proceedings
on the part of the parent birds. They
in the meantime had seen the little one
borne away and had followed it 10 the
house. and, rs It was kept near the
open window, It's cries had apprised
them Of It's whereabouts. They soon
came to 1t on the roof and lowered
about it. doing much talking and con.
sulting together.
Finally they alighted near the little
one, and the female slipped her wing
under it and seemed to urge some
course Of acting upon the male. who
fdgeted about coming to the little one,
spreading bis wings over it. then fly
ing to tree, when the female followed
him and brought him back and again
slipped wing under the little one.
Finally be seemed to understand or
to get his nerve under control. and.
slipping his own wing under. together
they made a sort Of cradle for the bird
ling. and. each tapping Its free wing.

On one side Of the head Is likewise

Economical Training of Gunners.

The method used in the United States
navy for tie economical training of the
sunners is very interesting. 1t is
well known fact that the cost Of firing
one of the large guns used In the navy
is very great. amounting sometimes to
81 900 or more. To save this expense
q very simple method is employed. In
. the case of the large guns an ordinary
Remington rife Is secured IN the breech
Of the gun and directly in the center
of the bore. so that when it Is fred Its
bullet takes the same direction as that
Of the regular projectile. The large
gun Is sighted in the usual manner.
On account of the lesser velocity Of the
small bullet the target is placed close
to the ship and is made corresponding
ly small.
The method used for the 6 FOUNDER
or other small guns is slightly diner
ent. as instead Of the small rife
wooden or dummy cartridge the same
size as the regular cartridge Is en-
ployed. Through the center OF this
wooden cartridge runs rifle barrel
which is loaded with A caliber car
fridge. This latter method has the ad-
ditional advantage Of giving the gun
crew practice in loading as well as mr.
ing.-Wushington Star.

swindIe by Pawn Tickets.

The most lucrative game which New
York swindlers work on the crednlous
and eager New Workers themselves
continues to be the bogus or false
pawn ticket swindle. 1t Is not uD-
known In Chicago. and 1t has so many
fine points about 1t, all of them ap-
peaiiRg to the man who loves to make
a few dollars on the side, that the
rogues who work It are never out OF
customers. The simplest method Is for
the swindler to tell his intended vie
tim he has In pawn ring or gem worth
500. He claims to have pawned 1t for
only S25. and rather than lose the
difference between the real value and
the amount for which be pawned 1t he

There is S25 due the pawnbroker.. be-
sides S5 interest. leaving an equity OF
$40. He win sell that equity for just
half, or $S5. After the victim has paid
over the S35 and has redeemed the
pledge he finds that the real value OF
the article is $50 to $50 and that he is
out S5 to SIS. The pawnbroker gets all
he loaned. and the original owner

The Boy Aboard Ship.

Mr.. Frank T. Bullen. who was once
ship boy himself, makes in his book,
The Men of the Merchants Service"
these mournful statements concerning
the sea life of young Jacky:
Within the memory Of middle aged
men a boy on board ship was the
butt. the vicarious sacrifice to all the
accumulated i'll temper of the ship. To.
day tales are told Of the treatment OF
boys In .Geordie' colliers that are
enough to make the flesh creep to hear.
In those days 1t was the privilege Of
every man on board to Ill treat the boy,
and If. as very often happened, the
poor little wretch died under it-weil,
what of it?-it was only boy.
"Apd the peculiar part Of 1t all was
that the brutes who did these evil
deeds prided themselves that their ac-
fions were right and proper. There
was only one way Of training a boy
with a ropes end II it were handy; II
not, a fst or a boot would do, but he
must be beaten.

comnarative Longevity.

It has often been remarked that
while nothing is so uncertain as the du-
ration Of any given human life nothing
Is more certain than the aggregate OF
years which may be assigned to q
group Of 100 persons or more at any
particular age. The expectation Of life
at a given age, to use the actuarial
phrase, differs considerably, as might
be expected. in different countries, and
Englishmen may be surprised to learn
that they are not the longest living
among the white races.
At the age Of 20 an Engilshman In
average health may expect to live AZ
years, and any life Office will grant 3, 5sfyn B g
a policy based on that Probability. The
Americans eEyppcccIation is for slightly
longer peHod. On the other hand. q
Ge:Yan lad Of 20 can count upon little
more than SO years and half.
1t would seem. therefore, that the
restlessness attributed to the American
temperament does not necessarily con-
duce to the shortening Of life nor the
composure of the German to Its pro-
longation. Possibly the better feeding
and clothing Of Americans In the lower
classes of the population are the princi-
pal causes Of their greater longevity.
Their position Is. at any rate. main
tanned in later as we'll as in earlier
years.
The American who has reached 60
may look to complete IA years more,
while the Britisher's expectation Is on
" about l3 years and 10 months and
the Germans as nearly as possible IL
months less. Both at 20 and at 80 the
Frenchman's prospect is little better
than the Germans and little worse
than the Englishman s.-London Globe.
