countless black wheeling specks.
"The buzzards, kites and seapuIated
crows boldly aHghted on the grass

awaited calmly the moment when we
should take our leave, while overhead
at a great height the shyer varieties,
including the marabous, large bare

CARE OF HOUSE PLANTS.
Simple Directions That Are Worth
Heeding and Remembering.

Be careful not to overwater them.
To find out il they need water rap
the side Of the pot with your knuckles.
II 1t rings clear and sharp the plant
needs watering.
II there is dull sound the soil is
already moist enough.
Let the soil get fairly dry before
wetting it again.
Plants thrive much better if not
permanently kept in jardinieres.
The average living room is too hot
and dry for growing things. They are
best kept in a cool room and moved
to hot rooms only for temporary deco
ration.
The extremes Of day and night IN a
window sill are too much for most
plants. Carry them into the middle OF
the room at night.
Keep pan Of water in the room
where they are kept; give them plant
food; spray them free from dust, and
keep sharp lookout for pests.
In ventilating the room see that the
current Of cold air does not strike
them directly; and remember that gas
fumes are deadly to them.

oAaH oF THs KITCHEN
clean Wallis Are an Essential 60
Sanitary Cooking.

It is not only important to know
how TO cook, but ID is equally impor.
tant to know where to cook. Cook
lng "a a dirty kitchen can never pro.
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for sometimes for years
without cleansing.
IN the first place the kitchen wall
should have a light tint that the mer-
est tieck Of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
bo discerned. 1t is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that Is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in It. or sour
milk in it II mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly tiecking of, fall
ing into the food and the idea Of food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall In the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly in the spring and fall Of each
year with a light tint.
The care Of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. II there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pam
tries a thick putty OF the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes,
even small mice holes can be filed
with it which will protect the pantry
from the incursions Of disagreeable
insects and mice.

A lady recently left $1,000 a year fog
the comfort Of her parrot. Far mors
extraordinary was the bequest Of an
Ohio gentleman. who left money for
cat infrmary or sanitarium, which
was to have rat holes for sport and
ample grounds for exercise. The sans
testator, wishing to give some con
ISOLATION to the feline race, whom be
supposed to supply the material named
catgut, left directions for his intes

Whether the currency stringency Is
responsible for it or not, 1t Is certain
that the long existing prejudice Of the
west against the use of the cent is
being broken down. In Oregon and

many Of them people Of eastern birth
who have settled In the northwest, to
introduce the copper coin in business
transactions. Formerly no coin small.

came to sums which we're not multi.

transactions in even money! The
principal objection to the reform in
this method is that It means addi-

Stephen B. Greene Of San Francisco.
THE machine I refer to was con-

who in those days had a deser~ad
celebrity as a mining engineer. He
used his contriyance to come to and
from the mines In Nevada, very much
to the annoyance and disgust Of the
stage drivers and liverymen Of that
day. In fact, the opposition to his
contrivance became SO acute that one
day the machine was literally dis
mantled in the hotel yard at Sacra-
mento, and In the fight that ensued
over its destruction one man was
killed and the designer. whose name
have forgotten, was wounded. I
believe he never attempted to rebuild
the machine, but am not certain on
this score. So far as I know no other
attempt to build self-propelling We
