A COLONY of Outlaws,

There is in Lower California Il
strange colony of which the outside
world rarely hears. 1t is made up
of outlaws, and some of the most
notorious escaped criminals have
taken refuge in it. They live in a
strange, rugged stretch of country,
with the gulf of California on one
side and a range of foothills, which
spread down toward the Mexican
border, on the other. There are no
ports at this point on the coast of
California and no railroads reaching,
in from The other direction, so the
men are completely isolated. They
are practically prisoners, because
they dare not venture out, but no
effort has ever been made to disturb
them in their chosen refuge, though
they have been congregating there
for wears.

Some Timely Information on Canning
and Preserving.


In using canned goods put up in
tin. onct the can is opened the con-
tents must be taken out Immediate
". If there is more than is needed
At the moment, put what is left in
an carthen dish. When there is
time, open the can an hour or so be-
fore it is to be used and turn the
contents into Il dish o" bowl. Be-
fore u2in. peu:. beans and asparagus
turn them into coIandcr and rinse
with cold water. Many fruits and
vegetables are put up in glass jars.
They come higher in price, but
there is no fear of corrosion, as
sometimes happens when tin is used.
In no case must the sun shine
very long on timed goods. In
buying canned goods there is quite
saving if they are bought by the
box or even by the dozen. Olives
come much cheaper bought in large
quantities, They are in brine, so it
is only necessary to make brine Tor
bottle and take out II quantity
for immediate use. In addition
there are dried and evaporated
fruits of all kinds. These need only
to be soaked for a few hours before
they are cooked. Kept in dry
place one buying will answer for a
long time. Prunes, apples, peaches
and apricots are the most desirable
Of the dried fruits. Prunes should
be used frequently; cooked with
apricots they are much better than
when cooked alone. Lemon should
be cooked with prunes if apricots are
not used.-Mrs. Mary Graham in
Woman's Home Companion.

Beyond Her Means.
Has England Entered Upon
Decay?
Quien Sabe?

If the analysis of the quoted figures by
a writer in tie Contemporary Review is
correct, there can be little doubt that
Great Britain has entered a period of econ
Omlea decadence whose end can be no
different from that of a family which reg
uarly lives beyond its income. England
must in that case follow Spain, whose place
she took as Queen of tie Ocean and the
paramount nation in commerce. The Span
sh milled dollar was the standard measure
of value IN International trade before the
English sovereign too its place.
Two features which point clearly toward
the possible bankruptcy Of the British pa
ton are matters SIT forth clearly in the
larlts of public statistics
OF these the most startling is the fact
that in 1898 Great Britain bought from
outside countries and imported goods Of
all sorts which cost 2670l9,343 pounds in
excess of the value of ali exports. Here
was the equivalent f one and one third
billions of dollars to be paid in a single
year from some source other than the in
ternal industries of the country. And the
situation is inclined to grow worse year by
year rather than better. In proof Of this
the writer quotes the statistics of rural
industries which show that during The last
| jhirty years the amount of land under
cultivation for cereals in England has de-
creased by 1876 572 acres, that under
green crops has decreased by 79l, $40 acres
