Picking Green Tomatoes.

An excellent pickle is made of
green tomatoes by using twice as
much chopped cabbage as there is
chopped tomato, with red peppers
chopped and added; sugar to make
slightly sweet and sufficient salt to
balance the flavor. Mustard seed and
celery seed are added. also whole
cloves and whole allspice in little
cheesecloth bag. Enough vinegar will
be added so that the finished pickle
when canned will be just covered
with the liquid. 1t is better to make
a small quantity at time and have
it come to the boiling point quickly.
boil only 20 minutes, otherwise the
pickle will not crisp.-I. M. Angel,

I'm THE LOVE OF NATURE"

To the girl In the country who is
lonely at times. and wishes for the
larger social life of the city or viii
lage, l have a word to say. 1t was
my lot once. in my young woman
hood, to make my home on farm
in a secluded neighborhood. Few
girls are situated SO unpleasantly II
one considers the purely social side
OF things. We were four miles from
a village, no church near, very few
neighbors and those we rarely saw.
The first winter, life occasionally
seemed to narrow down to waiting
for the mail and that didn't always
turn up at the right time. We had
no free delivery then. There were
no phones then in the country.
The nearby river had an unmanner-
ly habit of getting out of its banks
so that days would sometimes pass
before the postofflce could be visited.
One time that winter we were ten
days without a sign from the out
side world. Perhaps l moped bit,
though / don't remember doing so,
but the people were so new to me

WHEN SENDING THE CHILDREN
TO SCHOOL.

Tho beginning OF the schools is now
here. How many parents are taking
advantage OF their privileges and
acknowledging the rights OF their
children. OF their teacher and Of the
school children, by placing them in
school on the first day and keeping
them there every day of the term?
Parents do not realize the i'm
portance OF having their children In
school at the beginning OF the term.
II Is an injustice to three parties for
children to be delayed from entering
school for from week to month,
as Is often the case In rural districts.
1t is an injustice to the children thus
delayed, because they have failed to
learn principles In their studies which
will hinder them in their progress
all through the term; and II the
pupils thus entered late are begin
ners, they cannot enter class at all
until the teacher has done great
deal OF extra work in bringing these
beginners up so they can enter a
class. BY this extra work OF the
teacher an injustice is also melted Out
to the pupils who were prompt in en-
tering school at it's opening, because
while the teacher is giving extra time

was full of interesting memories Ito
say nothing of the cha mt" that climb
ed the stairs and ratified ghostly
chains in the still night hours) and
somewhere, somehow, I had acquir-
a strong love for nature which stood
me in good stead.
1t is this love of nature that I
would recommend to every girl who
lives on a farm and therefore has
opportunity to study the great ALL
Mother at first hand.
You needn't be a naturalist and
work with worms and squirmy things,
after the manner of the small boy.
But you can soon become interested
in plant life around you-and the
birds! Get in love with them, get
hungry to learn about them and their
habits, and defy you to pass many
dull hours where you can hear the
whistle of partridge or the cheer
full song of winter wren.
l had never loved a catbird be-
fore, and never taken pains to notice
what flood Of rich music they pour
forth when the mood is on them.
But after listening to them during
those spring months, I grew into a
great love for them and resent any
slight put upon them. For brilliant,
joy-giving song, commend me to the

couldn't afford the handsome new
ones, with their many-colored pict-

bird book, and mighty desire to
ask questions Of everybody I met,
learned something of that page Of
Gods creation which opened out be-
fore me- And that page, girls, young
women, is one that appeals to us.
Gathering light and wisdom from it
now while youth is yours, you will
never find the long summer days en-
tirely uninteresting. You will prob
ably never care for the great debates
about animal life. I hope you will
find no real pleasure in such books
as "The Call of the Wild" You will
not give penny for all of Mr.. Roose-
velt's hunting stories. But after you
have watched the parent birds feed
their young ones day after day, after
you have seen the wonderful care and
forethought the brave little mother
takes in order to protect her helpless
fledglings, you will more fully recog-
nize that, in Gods great plan, a
deep and mighty love stirs ceaseless-
ly, and that in the nurturing and ex-
pressing Of that love no power is so
great, so patient, so marvellous, as
the mother-heart. Learning this, you
may easily learn to honor your own
mother more profoundly and to look

Meats to be served to young child

For the nursery. the plain boiled egg
Is most wholesome. Every woman
thinks she can boil an egg no matter
how unskilled she may be In other
branches OF cooking; yet. ii Is per-
haps the least understood OF all pro-
cesses. The usual method Is to drop
an egg INTO boiling water. which Is
allowed to continue boiling for two
or three or four misutes, with the
result that the egg is almost raw. or

they are liked soft.

TYPOGRAPHICAL UNIONS
REFUSE TO AMEND RULE
First Sub Must Have a Chance
When a Vacancy
Occurs

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 10.-The Girls
com district plan in connection with
the International Typographical unlon'
providing that the executive board be
empowered to institute districts for
furthering educational work, was one
of the important subjects for discus
sion when the convention met today.
Another important question discus
sed was the provision governing the
apprentice. One resolution was that
an apprentice employed in an office
where typesetting devices are handy
must be taught how to operate them.
The priority law, which opened the
way for the oldest sub printer in
the newspaper offices of the country,
was upheld by the convention in the
adoption of the unfavorable report OF
the laws committee on local option.
The proposition was submitted by
the New York delegates and called
for an amendment to the general laws
by leaving the filing of vacancies tc
the local union as substitute for the
priority rule.
The laws committee made an un-
favorable report on the Griscom pro-
position and the convention upheld the
committee report on the ground that
it was not feasible.
The proposition of the union asking
for a union label for all branches OF
the printing trades was referred to
the laws committee.

fact that the platform declares for the

]. S. Williams. an -prohibitionist,
was elected chairman OF the state eX-
ecutive committee. The platform is
favorable to the policies of Colquitt
and upholds Senator Bailey in his
course. The tariff plank reads:
1--WE reaffirm the tariff declarations
of the Democratic state and national
platforms of 1896, and we expressly
condemn the proposition to remove all
duties from manufacturers raw ma
terial so long as such duties remain
on manufacturers finished products"
This is favorable to Senator Bailey's
contention.
A minority of the platform commit
tee, of which Cone Johnson, one of
the Prohibition candidates for COVER
nor, recently defeated, was a member,
also presented a report. 1t offered, in
lieu of the tariff plank adopted, q re-
affirmation of the tariff plank of the
Denver platform; it demanded legisla
ton prohibiting United States sena-
tors, congressman and other public Off
GERS from accepting employment and
fees from public service corporations
and others specially interested in leg
islation. This plank was considered
by his followers as a reflection upon
Senator Bailey.

BULLET FROM RIFLE
ENDED LAWYERS LIFE
Evidence of Expert UpSets All the
Theories in Rice Case

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 1Q.-Every
theory in regard to the murder or VII
liam L. Rice has been upset by the
testimony offered today at the cor
oner's inquest.
The first sensation came when George
Freeman, a gun expert, testified the
bullet taken from Rice's head had not
come from a 32-caliber revolver, as
had been supposed, but had belonged
to either a Winchester rifle or Rus
sian gallery gun.
This testimony complicates still fur
ther the mystery of Rice's death, but
it gives the police a clew which they
think may bring results. A search will
begin Immediately in Cleveland, New
York, Chicago and other cities, in the
hope of tracing a sale of such firearms
as would carry the bullet found in
RiceS head.

SOLDIERS FIGHT FLAMES
IN YELLOWSTONE WOODS

LIVINGSTON, Mont, Aug. TO-
United States soldiers fought all last
night to save one of the most beauti-
full Fairgrounds OF the nation from
devastation by fire. The drought-nur-
tured fires which have been raging in
the northwest yesterday invaded Yel-
lowstone National park. From Bell
mountain came news that the forest
was ablaze. Pillars of smoke over St.
Mary's gave signal of a similar dis
aster. Still graver conditions were re-
ported from the southeast of Lake
Yellowstone by smoke -grimed couriers.
AS quickly as orders could be given
200 regular soldiers stationed in the
park were marching against the foe
That large areas of magnificent forest
were doomed was apparent at the
start, but the courage and discipline
of the seasoned fire fighters eventually
stopped the advance of the Bell and
ST. Mary's fires, saving miles of wood
land from destruction.
The issue at Lake Yellowstone was
not so easily decided. At the last word
the battle was at it's height and it
was feared that the loss in timber, as
we'll as injury to the beauty of the
park, would be great

DIAMOND THEFT CHARGE

RIVERSIDE, Aug. 10.-G. A. Burt,
who was brought over from England by
w. Lionel Roberts, the polo player, to
take care of the grounds of his home
on Dufferin avenue, is in the county
Jail on suspicion of having stolen nine
rings of considerable value from Mrs.
Roberts jewel tray on March 8. No
clew was ever found to the thief until
yesterday, when Burt was found with
four rings in his possession which it is
claimed he was trying to pawn. The
Riverside police were notified and Burt
was ordered held. He was arraigned
here today and given until tomorrow to
plead. In the meantime he is confined
in the county jail. The Robertses are
now in London. Burt claims he came
across the missing rings about three
weeks ago in machine drawer, and
that he carried the more valuable ones
with him for safe keeping. He con-
tends that drink is responsible for his
actions at San Bernardino yesterday.

OFFICER ACCIDENTALLY
SHOT BY OWN WEAPON
Revolver Falls from Pocket Dur
ing Playful SCuffIe, and Bull
let Skaters Bone of Arm

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 10.-Po-
liceman Harry Heap, who three weeks
ago shot and killed Carl Mangle when
he resisted arrest by firing at the police,
was today critically wounded by a
bullet from his own gun. the one that
ended the life of the drink -crazed man.
The discharge of the revolver was ac-
cidental. Heap and George Smith, act
ing night desk sergeant, were play
fully wrestling in front of the city hall
at o'clock this morning. In some
manner Heaps revolver slipped from
the hostler and fell, striking the pave
ment butt downward.
The jar discharged the gun, the bullet
tearing UP through Heaps left arm,
badly shattering the bone above the
elbow. 1t was necessary to take out
nearly three inches of the splintered
bone, and it is not yet certain his arm
can be saved. If the arm is not am
putated it is feared it will be useless
for life.
Heap was wounded twice by Mangle's
bullets, but the injuries were slight and
he soon resumed his duties on the
force.

PASADENA PLANNING To
ENTERTAIN ASTRONOMERS

PASADENA, Aug. 11.-Tentative
plans have been made for the enter
tainment in this city of one of the
most notable conventions ever held on
the Pacific coast, that of the 1nterna-
tional Union for Cooperation in Solar
Research Scientists will begin to ar
rive on Sunday, August 28, and by the
following Tuesday it is expected near
ly a hundred noted astronomers and
professors will be on hand to attend
the opening function, a garden party
at the Rose avenue residence of Prof.
George E. Hale, director of the Car
negie solar observatory on Mount
Wilson.
Most of the visitors will be quar-
tered at Hotel Maryland, but all ses-
sions of the union will be held on
Mount Wilson beginning Wednesday,
August 81 and continuing until sat
urday evening, September 8. On Mon
day, September 5, the visitors will In
spect the laboratory and work shop
on Santa Barbara street and on Mon
day evening they will be rendered
a banquet by Professor Hale.
Prof. w. s. Adams, who is acting
director of the Carnegie observatory
during the absence of Professor Hale
in the north, stated last evening that
the deliberations Of the convention will
be confined almost entirely to observa-
tions of the sun through the hVe-foot
rejecting telescope, the largest in the
world and other instruments, and the
discussion of plans for uniform work
in study of the sun and stars. to the
end that these bodies shall be under
constant observation every moment of
the year at some point on the earth.
When asked if interpreters would be
necessary to facilitate the work of the
convention, Professor Adams stated
that most of the foreign scientists can
speak English and that with those of
the English and American scientists
who can converse in foreign tongues
there will be no trouble in carrying on
the work.
While the meeting primarily is for
solar work, Professor Adams opines
that there will be a comparison of
notes on observations of Halley's comet
and other heavenly bodies, but that no
official deductions will be made on
those subjects.
Work on the 150-foot vbration-proof
tower on Mount Wilson is progressing
favorably and it is expected that this,
together with other inventions of
Professor Hale, will enable the scien-
tist to obtain results not possible else
where.
A recent letter from the plate glass
works at St. Gobains. France, regard
ing work on the 100-inch mirror for
the construction of which John d.
Hooker of Los Angeles gave 100000,
states that the third attempt to cast
the large glass is now well along
The last previous attempt was success
full until the annealing process was
reached when the glass broke through
