Illustrations of Thoroughness of Frank

Two Incidents recall the keenness

jamin Franklin. ...-. .~
One day he CHANGED to observe 4
lady in the possession of an imported
whisk broom. With his usual interest
and careful consideration he examined
1t as novelty. He discovered on the
brush of the broom a seed, which he
carefully removed. Presently he
planted It, and the growth from this
seed was the first crop of broom corn
in this country.
Again, one day when Dr. Franklin
was walking by, Dock creek he saw
stuck in the mud n wickerwork basket,
which had sprouted. Carefully he
fished out the basket, and carefully
took 1t apart. He gave cuttings to his
friend, Mr.. Charles Norris, who plant
ed the twigs in his garden, where they
grew to great size. They turned out to
be yellow willows, and, as Franklin
had foreseen, proved Of great CONNER

RECOVERED FROM SNAKE BITE.
How Ranchman Treated Wound When
Far from a Settlement.

Bitten by rattlesnake in the calf Of
the right leg in the Santa Ana noun
tains last Saturday, John Mccormick, q
ranchcr of Grapeland, saved his life
by making an incision with his pocket
knife and inserting a piece Of the
reptiles flesh in the wound. He
bandaged it tightly and walked seven
hours before he reached his ranch.
where he could receive medical treat
ment. DR.. Summer j. Quint was called
from Los Angeles to attend Mccormick
When he arrived he found that his pa
ttcnt was suffering from slight
poisoning. He declares that McCor-
nick saved his life by his own treat
ment.
- Mccormick was hunting through
scrub oak when he felt peculiar sting
In his leg. He looked down and saw
the snake dragging on the ground as
he walked. Its fangs had become
fastened in his leggings and it was un-
able to withdraw them. - ..'", g.
With the butt of his gun Mccormick
knocked the snake off and then crushed
Its head with his heel: AS quickly az
possible he ran into the open and car
ried the snake with him. When he
barred his leg he squeezed all the blood
he could out of the two punctures
which the fangs had made. Then he
opened cash, cutting through the two
wounds and letting out the blood and
poison. He cut a piece of flesh out
Of. the wound. Mccormick used his
handkerchief for bandages and then
tied his leg again just above the knee
to stop the poison from working
through his system. ....- g..
Mccormick was miles from any settle
ment where he could secure medical
attention, so he started back to Grape
land. His leg pulsated with pain and
he soon became deathly sick. In his
weakened condition he was compelled
to rest on. the road time and again.
When he finally reached home he was
almost exhausted and his leg was
dreadfully swollen and almost black.
Mccormick says that his treatment
was famous among the Indians for
snake bites and he has known of a
number of instances where it's applica-
ton has saved lives.-Los Angeles

Seagulls Of Auchmithle.

In the fishing village of Auchmithie
you may frequently witness seagulls
flying into the houses of the fishermen
and partaking of food from their
hands. One of these sea birds was in
the habit of staying in fisherman's
house all the year round except at the
breeding season, when It left. About
fortnight ago. while the gull was
away. the fisherman removed his home
some 3R miles from the former place.
The fisherman never expected to see
his old friend the gull again. 1t was
therefore much to his establishment
that he beheld on q recent Sunday the
sea bird come walking into his new
residence with stately steps TO resume
his old familiarities and household
ways.-London Spectator.

DISH FOR THE GODS
EULoGIsTIc DESCRIPTION OF THE
SAUERkRAUT.
st. Hermann Of PiIsen the. Patron
Saint Of Delicacy So Much in
Favor in America and the
Home Land.

The sharp sting of these brisk fall
mornings warns rich and poor alike
that the sauerkraut season Is dawning.
To-day, in a thousand smiling fields,
the busy sickle of the husbandman
lays low the billowy grass. To-mor.
row, In thousand tubs, watts and
caidrons, vinegar and massage will
convert the stalks into savory kraut
A month hence, and-let the candj
dates and the campaign go hang
every third dinner table in America
Will groan beneath gigantic pyramids
or the emperor Of all delicatessen. .....
Those Americans who have visited
Munich know well the noble statue at
the head Of the Observation-Disclosures
raised by grateful. Bavaria to the
memory Of st. Hermann OF Pilsen, in
Ventor and protagonist of sauerkraut.
me genial old saint, smile upon his
race, Is seen stirring large kettle Of
kraut with an oar OF gilt bronze, and
so lifelike Is the carving that the trav-
eier, standing by. can well nigh scent
the perfumed steam and hear the flut-
ter OF angelic wings. In these unro-
mantle United States we have no pub:
lie monuments to Hermann, and his
very name, indeed, is unknown to all
save few cognoscenti; but, neverthe-
less, and Notwithstanding this neg
lect, the delicious victual he gave to
the world Is firmly enshrined in the
hearts of the American people, Stewed
gently In Rhine wine it tickles the
oesophagi OF the opulent; boiled in
plain hydrant water 1t nourishes the
son of toll. 1t is at once Wand, a
passion and public institution.
Two days are required to cook
sauerkraut properly. On the first day
II should be dredged out of the barrel,
sponged, aerated and freed Of thistles
and then boiled for an hour and 90
minutes. In the pot with it, and sub
merged beneath the surface of it's
bubbling juices, there should be one
pigtail or eight inches of spareribs for
each hundred linear yards of kraut.
AT the end of the process of boiling
the heavenly mess should be given a
dash OF Rhine wine-not bogus Cali
fornia wine, but real Rhine wine-and
placed In some dark and damp cellar,
pit, cavern or catacomb to COOL. Next
day, at high noon, 1t should be brought
out, warmed quickly over brisk fire,
dumped upon. a hot plate, garnished
with mashed potatoes-and consumed.
Sauerkraut thus prepared is a pale
Vandyke brown in color and utterly
fndescribable in aroma and flavor.
Once eaten by man Of trlle refine o.
ment it will haunt the dim corridors
OF his memory so long as breath ami
mates his senseless clay.
