capped. He has been out OF the

Moravian Barley for Nevada.

An effort is being made in the
western part of the State to in
troduce Moravian barley in Ne
vada. This barley has been
thoroughly tested in California
and has proven much better
than the Chevalier, the kind in
general use. 1t ripens earlier,
the yield is much heavier, the
quality is said to be much bet
ter and it thrives better in dry
countries. 1t is estimated that
it's yield is at least twenty per

A Silent Argument.

A wanderer through South Caro-
lima watched an old negro fishing in
a brickyard pond for forty minutes,
says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, dur
ing which time the hook was not
pulled up.
"Do you think there are any fish
there 2" he asked at last.
"No, sab; | reckon not"
"But you seem to be fishing"
Eyes, sah."
"But perhaps you are not fishing
for fish. What is your obiect?"

Canning Corn.

Dear Aunt Jennie:-I see you have
asked for a recipe to IA corn. Now
as the canning season for corn will
soon be in, | send you my recipe for
"Social Chat" AS 1 have used this
method five or six years, / know it is
all right, and no one need fear to try
it.
Prepare the corn as you would if
you we're going to use it immediate
ly, then to every six quarts of corn
use one ounce of tartaric acid and
plenty of water, or the corn will
stick; six quarts should fill eight
quarts when canned; thus you get
some idea of the quantity of water.
Boil five minutes, can and seal, and
you have your corn all ready for use.
Now for the cooking. Drain off all
the fluid into a convenient vessel and
put the corn in a little water. Add
a pinch of soda and season as pre-
ferred. If you get too much soda
the corn is yellow; SO you then add
a little of the fluid which you have
saved. If you don't get soda enough
the corn tastes sharp or sour, so you
add more soda. / consider this a per-
feet recipe, and / have not been out
of canned corn in years, as it keeps
from year to year.
This is my first letter to the Chat.
If you consider it worth the room,
publish it; if not, throw it aside.
Any other information cheerfully
given.
Very respectfully,
"MINNIEHAHA."

Mistakes OF a Mother.

O J
takes with her first child as I did?
Did any other love her baby so dear
ly, and yet manage it so harshly?
The first mistake was made when
she was only a few weeks old. I
thought she must be trained. Other
mothers had told me that there was
a great deal in beginning right; that
there was no use in taking a baby up
every time it cried. In my ignorance
/ took no note of the fact that these
mothers were of the lympha-
tic temperament and that their babies
had not inherited nerves. So / let
my nervous, high-strung baby scream
by the hour, until she developed a
passionate obstancy which gave me
no end of trouble later on.
After she began to creep and tod
die around / always met her spirit
of inquiry into pot-plants, ink-bottles
and the like by a spanking, admins
tered from one to three times a day.
A scolding often accompanied the
spankings. By the time she was two
years old she was a tempest, a
cyclone. In her fits of fury she would
throw herself against a hot stove if
it came in her way, pour forth ear
splitting screams, kick, scratch and
bite. Being dull of comprehension.
/ did not at first see hat this be-
havior was merely the result of my
management. Ny school studies.
theory and practice, psychologists,
ETC., had not even touched on my
theories concerning babies, nor on
the practices of such a mite of hui
mainly as tbs.
Then / thought if 1 gave her ar
order 1 must make her obey if it
took all summer. This was perhaps
the worst mistake of all. She was
| Just as stubborn as her mother, and
almost as unreasonable. Only the ut
most severity could force obedience
from the plucky little maiden, and I
always had to own in the end that
the discipline had cost more than it
was worth. 1t always hurt my feel
ings to be so hard with her, for
when not in a temper she was a
sweet, affectionate child, and / should
really have preferred to humor he'll
But l kept steadily on, f~ortifying
myself with the thought that if she
grew up a spoiled child it should not
be my fault.
/ sometimes used to ask her if she
had committed depredations which
/ discovered. 1t was a wonder she
did not say no. She would look me
squarely in the eyes, and say, with
out a trace of fear, eyes, [ did,"
which confession would be rewarded
with the usual punishment.
1t was not until she was three years
old that she began to ~prevaricate.
That brought me to my senses. l

have the pleasure of a more intimate
acquaintance. Her first is a helpful
letter, and / am quite sure that we
all will enjoy knowing her.
/ would commend the letter of E.
M. d., as it is full of sound sense.
All mothers make mistakes; but
young mothers often indulge In idle
dreams as to the management of the
baby and how they intend to make a
model child of him as soon as he is
old enough to understand. Well,
while they often wait to begin those
lesson baby is learning from expert
ence and observation, and before she
realizes how fast the months fly, his
first lessons are learned and she has
been his teacher, but finds that those
were not the things she meant he
should know.
For instance, night was made for
sleep and rest, but he insists that
day is a much better time for him
and that the lamp light is enchant-
ing, therefore he sits up nights and
he sleeps while mother works in the
day. Now, this is not best for her
health if he does seem to think so;
he is an ignorant little being and
therefore must learn that only sick
babies sit up at night. This he soon
learns, too, and it would astonish you
to see him wake with an unearthly
scream as if in terrible physical pain
when it is only mental, for the mo-
ment he sees a light it is all forgot
ten and he is happy.
Right here / must tell the young
mother a secret: More babies cry for
water than because of pain. [ do not
mean ice water, but good clean, cool
well water, or spring water. If he is
awake when you quench your own
thirst, offer him some water too and
see if he is not less fretful and
withal a healthier baby. Not many
years e a mother was considered
eccentric if she gave her baby cool
water. Why this fallacy prevailed
among intelligent women, [ could
never imagine, but hat it did, many
old persons will declare.
Another great cause for babys
fretfulness is his uncomfortable
clothing. However much he may
punish himself in after years for
styles, he knows nothing now but
rebellion against the powers that be,
and he lets you know it. A tight
band around his neck, an arm-hole
! too small, or a rough edge on his
garments, will cause you more trou-
bic than lost time in fixing things
right. Buttons are another prolific
cause of discomfort to baby. Have
as few as possible, and be sure that
they are small ones.
Oh, / did not mean to talk entire
" of baby. / did to tell the
young folks whose people are mem
bers of our Circle and who them.

question that has not been discussed,
1t is this: Who'll pay the license? 1t
is generally supposed that such a tax
would be a direct one upon wholesale,
retail merchants and peddlers. Not a
bit OF 1t. The wholesale merchant
would add whatever percentage of his
business, and perhaps little more, the
license tax might cost him to his bill
of goods to the retailer. The retailer
would add to the price OF his goods
sold over the counter his share of the
license tax as well as whatever was
charged up to him by the wholesaler.
In this way the people would pay the
toA Twice oFSr. tnen thS push, cart
man and the peddler would have it
charged up to them in additional ra.
ito. BY the time the people got their
goods with license tax in force they
might expect to pay five per cent,
more for their goods. The Honolulu
merchants are notorious for their abil-
ity to oyercharge. This originated
mainly through the smaller competi-
ton that existed in earlier days and
through the long credit system that
has always been in vogue here, 1t is
an extremely moderate statement to
make that the cost of living in Homo
lulu is at least twenty-five per cent. (.
more than 1t is In San Francisco. This
reduces monthly salary of one hun
dred dollars to an equivalent of seven
ty-hye dollars and It is small wonder
that the cash discount granted by
some stores of Ave per cent. is seldom
called for by customers. An addition
