GROWING PAMPAS PLUMEs.
One of the Most Picturesque and
Profitable of CALIFORNIA; Newer
Industries.

In all California there are few more
beautiful sights than a pampas or
chard at picking time, though the
grass is seldom seen in its perfection
because to preserve the plumes they
must be picked before they are ripe.
But the grass itself is picturesque
crop, and the plumes, picked and
spread out to dry in the sum- leave the
fields looking as if covered with sEow,
says the New York Sun.
The industry has grown rapidly since
it was first introduced from South
America in the early COS. The plu1nes
now form one of the standard crops of
the state and one of the most profit
able of its products.
The finest attain length of about Sc
inches and command price of some
thing like 5000 a thousand when the
demand is good. The plumes have no
especial value except as ornaments,
but for this purpose there is steady
call for them both in this country and
abroad.
The plume orchards are planted with
roots frequently obtained direct from
La Plata. Santa Barbara county is the
region in this country most famous for
their growth.
The plants grow to such enormous
size and are so exhausting to earth
that they are planted a third further
apart than fruit trees. The pampas
plume farmer usually sets them in
hills, each hill containing five or six
plants, though to the casual observer
there seems to be only one enormous
tuft of grass.
The best results are obtained from
plants between and years old, so
at the end of the fifth year the stock
is weeded out. In the first year only a
few plumes are seen, but in the second
duce between SO and 200, and after
that each hill has fine crop, 10 or 20
feet high and from ~ to Is feet across.
In the warm weather the hills are
irrigated once q month, and toward
September the crop is ready for gath
ering. AS soon as the tops of the
plumes appear they are gathered by
Mexican laborers; women strip off the
sheaves, and children lay them down
to dry and bleach in the sun. A day
or so suffices to dry the plumes and
then they are Grated and are ready for
shipment.
California now produces 100000
plumes year and skilled hands en-
ployed in the picking easily make
$3.50 day. The pampas orchards
range from the large ones of 5000 or
more hills, producing quarter of a
million plumes year, to smaller ones
raising only few, and their products
go all over this country and Europe.

A FOOLISH LIFT.

Stratford, Wis, July 2Sth-William
Junemann was working with farm
er near this place last summer and
one day they got stuck with load of
grain. Mr.. Junemann says: eve had
to lift like fools and my back crack
ed and started to hurt me so that
couldn't stand it any longer. The
man / was working with took me
home and [ went to bed. 1 saw an
advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills
in the paper and I sent and got one
fifty cent box. Before I had this box
used up / began to feel better and
kept on and very soon my back was
well again.
Il can't say enough for Dodd's
Kidney Pills and / cannot understand
why anyone should continue to suf-
fer with backache when Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will cure it so quickly

PELVIC CATARRH
CAUSES
Palptaton of the Heart Cold Hands and Feet, Sinking
FEELINGS. Pe-runa Cures Catarrh Wherever Located

One woman has dyspepsia, another
bronchitis, another Bright's disease,
another liver complaint, another con-
sumption, another female complaint.
These women would be very much sur
prised to hear that they are all suffer
ing with chronic catarrh But it is so,
nevertheless.
Each one of these troubles and great
many more are simply catarrh-that is,
chronic inflammation of the mucous
lining of whichever organ is affected.
Any internal remedy that will cure ca
tarrh in one location will cure it in any
other. This is why Peruna has be-
come so justly famous in the cure of
female diseases. 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. It's cures remain.
Peruna does not palliate-it cures.
Hon. Joseph b. Crowley, Congress-
man from Illinois, writes from Robin
son, ILL.,, the following praise for the
great catarrhal tonic Peruna. Con-
gresham Crowley says:
"Mrs. Crowley has taken a number
of bottles of Peruna on account of

HIS OPINION OF BROWNING.
Troubles of the COnfiding Man Whose
Sister Led Him Into Strange
Fields.

The man of 40 had somehow been
drawn into the afternoon tea-that
is, not literally, you know, but his
sister had enticed him within the gath
ering of the now superior sex because
really, he was forgetting how to talk
to women, and positively he was los
ing his polish. Why, before he real
lied it he wouldn't know how to come
into a room or leave one or how to sit
down or what to do with his hands
and feet, says the Kansas City Star.
So the man fell prey to the fear
full prophecy, and, after his sister had
told him the color of the cravat he
must wear and how dreadful it would
be if he wore laced shoes instead of
buttoned ones, and what girls he must
make himself agreeable to-why, then
he set about renewing his youth with
some approach to fortitude. There
was one thing that the man prided
himself on, and that was his adapta-
bility.
So, once within the feminine pre-
cincts, he plucked up his courage and
prepared to make talk on everything,
from the latest novel, which he had
not read, to the newest conception of
Nirvana, as to which he was trifie
hazy.
Fate assigned him temporarily to a
''bud." With a mighty effort he was
trying to recall the sisterly Ollendorf
for this occasion, but was much re-
lieved to fnd that he was merely ex-
pected to look pleasant and answer
questions. His sister had forgotten to
tell him what she was afterward
careful TO impress upon him, that
only one man in a hundred in society
has anything to say for himself and
that he needn't mind appearing stupid
Perhaps it was his expanse of fore
head-due as much to premature bald
ness, he would have told you, as to
the outcropping of q luminous intel
lect. At any rate, the young person
CHANGED to remark: 'You know your
Browning, of course" said the young
person, earnestly. She was evidntly
fresh from Smith or Bryn Mawr, and
she was certainly very pretty. Can
you blame him?
said, lying with an ease which aston
ished him, ''can afford to ignore the
poets-Browning least of all. What
a good thing is life-the mere living!' ?"
He acclaimed this impressively, hav-
ing but recently read it on the title
page of Roosevelt's "Ranch Life
Then he tried to say something about
basketball.
But the young person was too alert.
Chow perfectly splendid" she said.
"And SO apt. You would so enjoy
what Prof. Griggs says about the per-
fected relations of Pompilia to Capon-
sacchi. Don't you just dote on The
Ring and the Book?'"
"There are poems of Browning's
with which 1 am more familiar" adj
mitted the man, with some hesitation,
''and 1 particularly rejoice in anything
which expresses action. By the way,
have you noticed that ping-pong has
been taken up in PARISH"
This seemed to him clever side
step, but the young person only said !:
what particular poems by Browning
do you like best? Are you not inter
ested in his, fundamental conception of
human life as an endless process of
growth? Are you musician enough to
trace the harmony of the imagery and

ABOUT THE HOUSE.

Sash curtains of green India silk are
attractive for the dining-room.
Attractive cushion covers in pink
art ticking are finished with morrow
border of Powered white denim in the
daintiest patterns, and at each corner
is large white cotton tassel.
Common yellow soap, moistened
slightly and spread quickly over
fresh mosquito bite, will, it is said,
soon relieve the singing pain. The
same application is good for bites of
other insects.
Pure grape juice-a delicious and
healthful drinks as good hot as
cold. 1t should be mixed for this SER
vice half and half with hot water, with
a bit of orange or lemon peel added.
A few cloves. perhaps one to each cup
full. stepped with it to add to the flavor.
Bamboo paper is sketchy, Japan
csc affair on ribbed white ground
with a frosty finish. The designs of
reeds and leaves is all in deft blue,
shading down to sort of marine, es-
pecially at the points and veinings. 1t
is charming, and, like the palm leaf,
calls for muslin draperies.
A new idea for five o'clock tea is to-
drop three or four whole cloves into
each cup just before pouring in the
hot tea, and leaving them there for a
moment that the essential oil may be
extracted. The tea may be served with
the cloves in it, or, if one is fastidious
about its appearance, the one cup may
he poured into another through the
silver strainer and the cloves removed,
Sliced lemon is to be used with this
tea, and the mingling of the favors is
really delicious.
