The discovery Of oil in such large quantities IN
California has operated in more ways than one TO
the advantage Of the railroads out there IL has
decreased their running expenses apprectably, by
substituting a cheap fuel for the expensive coal
that was formerly used II has also made pas
senger travel more comfortable by putting an end
to the flying Cinders. and thus allowing people TO
have their car windows open. In addition, the
Atchison has now oiled its rOadbed clear across
California and into Arizona, thus ending the dust
nuisance. Besides a considerable freight traffic
has grown UP out OF the oil fields. The Atchison
now ships thirty-hve forty cars Of oil day
out Of Bakersfield. in addition TO the amount
needed for its locomotives.

his hilarity was on the wane. Five minutes later he turned to her and said:
 "Do you remember that little red schoolhouse beyond the bridge where we went to school together?'
 "Of course" she replied.
 "Did I tell you that it had been torn down?"
 "No."
 'Yes, torn down and a COW stable put up there How could they do it? That dear old schoolhduse was sur rounded with sentiment There was where I first met you. There was where I first loved you. There was where-where"-
 He could not go on. He pulled out his handkerchief and held 1t to his eyes, and Mrs. \Bowser realized that the hard cider from old Chemung had got in its work in good shape.
 Hadn't you better lie down on the lounge for an hour or so?" she suggest ed as his tears continued to, fall.
 ''No, sir,'' he replied, with considera- tble force. Mrs. Bowser, what kind of woman are you? Here they go and tear down our dear little red schoolhouse, one of the most sacred spots no earth to us, and you haven't a word to say. Even when tell you that cows are now chewing their cuds on the spot where first told you of my love you do not shed tear"
 ''I can't weep over all the sad things hear. In this case suppose the building was about ready to fall any how. Won't you lie downY
 "And there was the old oak under which we used to gather acorns," con- hnued MT Bewser as his face grew redder and more tears came. "sThey have gone and cut down that dear old tree and put up a, windmill i'll its place. How dare they do 1t? It was under the um-um- umbragsous branches of that old oak that I first told you of my love; that you told me my love was re-

Art Even In Sewing on a Button.

Art Even I'm Sewing on a Button.
 There is art even in such a prosaic matter as sewing on buttons. The ordinary operator makes knot in the cotton, passes the needle through the material from the under part and cheerfully accomplishes her task. The stronger the thread the more satisfied she will be- But when the garment is dealt with in the wash and ironing time comes round the knot upon which the work had depended forms a hard lump, which cannot possibly resist the heavy and sharp sides of the iron, the latter cuts 1t off, or certainly impairs it's strength, and the wearer is left but tonless.
 The moral is obvious. Start sewing from the outside or from the inside be- fore putting on the button. The latter, being fairly tight, will protect the knot and the smooth thread at the back will not be cut.

l Copyright, 1903, by c. B. Lew1s.l 1 %E%HE Bowsers had just finished 1 @ dinner the other evening when ! E the expressman drove up with two gallon jug which was tagged in MT. Bowser's name. The cork being removed and the contents 1 sampled, he smacked his lips and ex- 1 plained: .
 'This must be hard cider. I had a letter way along last fall from an old friend in Chemung county, and I re member that he htnted about sending me down a jug of something good lat CT on. By John, but the taste of 1t brings back the days when used to walk three miles to the cider mill! The old days are gone never to return, but here is the cider, and I'd rather have 1t than so much champagne"
 q have heard that hard cider was almost as bad as whisky to intoxi- cate,' observed Mrs. Bowser as MT. Bowser got away with his second glass within five minutes.
 That's all nonsense. There isn't enough alcohol in barrel of it to af- feet the brains of canary bird. Um! But that is old times! I feel almost as if I were climbing apple trees again. If we only had a pumpkin pie now, I'd feel myself an Uncle Rube."
 MT. Bowser read his paper for ten minutes and then descended to the dining room to see if the gas was turn ed out. He decided to kill two birds with one stone, and third glass of hard cider followed the second and first. A quarter of an hour later the jug was tipped up for the fourth time within forty minutes, and soon after he came upstairs he began to grin and chuckle.
 Anything funny happen today?' queried Mrs. Bowser after. a sharp look at him.
 ''Yes. A fat man was running to catch car, and-ha, ha, ha!-it was mean to laugh at him, but when he fell over a dog and rolled over and over how could any one help but-ho, ho, hov'
 T wouldn't drink any more of that cider this evening if I were you.''
 Whats the matter with the cider? Ha, ha, ha! Say, now, look at our old cat. Isn't she perfect picture of domestic contentment? With dear little wife at my elbow and blamed old cat on the hearth rug ought to be a happy husband, eh? I think the basement door may be open, and I'll go down and see"
 'I'll call the girl.''
 ''No, I'll go. Yes, she's nice old cat, and you are dear little wife, and if you'd seen that fat man fall over that dog you'd have gone into ha, ha, hav'
 The basement door was not open. That cider jug was, however, and MT. Bowser took advantage of the occa- sion. As he was all alone and in no hurry he drank couple of glasses, and the taste carried him back to the days when harvest apples gave him the oolic. He smiled to himself while drinking, but when he returned to the sitting room Mrs. Bowser noticed that

CAKE KNOWLEDGE.
Some of the Nice Points of Successful
 Mixing and Baking.

Some of the Nice Points of Successful
 Mixing and Baking.
 Many of the long, narrow tins in which a pound of delicate crackers are packed make the incest pans for bak- ing small loaf of cake. There is one variety, however, to avoid. It is the tin with rolled over edge inside. If you bake cake in this pan, struggle awaits you when it comes to get it out whole. One pound baking powder or cocoa cans bake small cakes nicely and allow them to be cut in slightly round slices
 If possible, never use coarse granu- lated sugar in making cake The re- suit is 8 coarse texture and hard crust; no matter how carefully the bat ter has been mixed.
 A very must have" for cake is a wire stand for cooling it when taken from the pan. This small utensil can be purchased for 10 cents. It earns it's cost many times over, for quick cooling is vast improvement over setting hot cake on the bottom of the tin from which it has just been taken. All the moisture which. is evaporated when cake rests on cooler remains in it and tends to make it wet and heavy when set on solid surface.
 Never attempt to bake sponge cake unless you have a fire which will slow down to a very moderate heat and keep about that temperature.
 The whites of eggs which are really new laid-rot more than twenty four hours-will not beat to the dry froth demanded in so many recipes. Anoth- CT reason why the whites of good fresh eggs will not froth in hot weather is because they have not been chilled. Eggs for cake baking should always be stored in tEe refrigerator.
 Many cooking teacher instructs pupil to listen whether cake sings in the, tin or not. They claim when the singing" is almost over the cake is done. There are number of easier and quite as reliable tests. When the cake begins to shrink away slightly from the sides of the pan, when you can stick in toothpick and have 1t come out clear or when the top crust can be touched with the tip of the fin ger ana 1C~SpT1nSS DaCk nrInly, leaV1nG no dent, the cake may be taken from the oven.
 If you find you have put too much four in a cake, do not thin with milk, but with beaten egg, adding it gradu. ally till the batter reaches proper thickness. Milk would impoverish the taste of the cake; egg enriches it.
 The proper time to add favoring to 8 cake is after the mixture has been thoroughly creamed and just before the flour is added. Spices should be sifted in with the four.
 Never leave the whites of eggs to stand after beating them to the re- quired point of frothiness. Fold them lightly into the cake mixture, then set 1t to bake.-Table Talk
