The people of Pennsylvania are under
sad affection. Their Legislature is
still in session, passing ripper" bills
and all other kinds Of deyilish legisla-
tion, with servile governor to approve
anything that the Quay machine
enacts. However, the great majority
of the citizens of the State are not to
be pitied, as they brought the infiic-
tion upon themselves.

What Geology Reveals.

Geology reveals to US the fact that
classes of animals rise and fall, are ex-
allied and then brought low, just as en-
pires among men. The dinosaurs were
not destined to remain for more than a
certain time in their exalted position.
Already in the new red sandstone period
usurpers have appeared on the scene
In the shape of humble little Quadrupeds,
creatures apparently unable to cope with
their rivals of the reptile class, but des-
tined, as ages rolled on, to grow in power
and strength, and SO to attain the proud
position they now occupy.
One cannot help wondering how the
victory was accomplished. But they had
a more developed brain than reptiles.
That would give them an immense advan.
tase in the struggle for existence
Thus 1t would seem that brains carried
the day, and so mammals now "hold the
field" against all their enemies.-Cham-
bers' Journal.

KITCHEN HELPS.

Use pancake litter to place cookies
on the baking tin and to remove them.
To clarity fat after frying throw in a
few slices of raw potato and simmer
all for few minutes.
Grease spots that have become hard
and burned in on ranges may be re-
moved by rubbing with a few drops OF
kerosene on q cloth.
Sometimes the fishy smell will cling
to knives and forks after oily fish like
salmon or mackerel has been served.
Out a lemon, rub them with it, and the
disagreeable odor will vanish.
Sometimes a large roasting pan, be-
ing infrequently used, gets rusty. To
prevent wash it well after using, dry
1t in the oven, then while warm rub
it over with a creased cloth and hang
1t away.
Old newspapers save work In the
kitchen. When you have any messy
task on hand, like dressing chicken
picking over fruit, ETC., lay paper on
the table, gather the litter up with II
and burn all together. This saves
securing the table.

Eho Discovery of BOrax In Death
Valley by Aaron Winters.

Eho Discovery of Borax In Death
Valley by Aaron Winters.
The greatest discovery of borax in
the United States was made in the ter
ribly hot region known as Death val
ley and in a most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with his
wife, Rosie, in a gulch known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth Of
Death valley. He was so fond of
his wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him, although
their little hut on the side of the noun
tain was a hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor, in wild, rugged,
forsaken country.
One day desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits of Nevada. When he
went away, Winters thought that he
had seen deposits of the same kind on
his explorations into Death valley.
Accordingly he and his wife went to-
gether to make the search, having pre-
viously provided themselves with GER
tain test chemicals, which when COM
bined with borax and ignited would
produce a green fame.
Having procured piece of the sub
stance which he believed to be borax
Winters and his wife waited for night
fall to make the test. How would il
burn2
For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert, entirely without luxurieS
and often wanting for the very necessi
ties of life. Would the match change
all that?
Winters held the blaze to the sub
stance with a trembling hand, ther
shouted at the top of his voice: "Sht
burns green, Rosie! We're rich! We're
rich!'
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000, and Winters tool
his Rosie to a ranch in Nevada.
