THE tobacco-growers of New Erg- land have started a movement to se cure the repeal of all internal-rev enue taxes on their product, and they expect aid from southern and west ern politicians and tobacco men. THE suspension of the firm of Don nell, Lawson & Simpson, the New York private bankers and brokers, was the most serious incident of last week's financial disturbrnce as far as the West was directly concerned, in asmuch as it involved a number of banking institutions in Missouri, Iowa and Indiana. THEY have a wsnderful system of financiering in Wall street. The New York World computes the capi al of the several institutions in that city that havo recently failed at $7, 720,000, and the liabilities at 137,050, 000. Grant & Ward are put down at $500,000 capital and $14,000,000 liabili ties. Their capital was only one-sixth as large as that of the Metropolitan Bank, while their liabilities are near ly three times as large. THE Pike's Peau Railway to be com pleted during 1S85, is already in operation to a point 12,000 feet above the sea level. An exchaBge has the following concerning it: The entire thirty miles of its length will be a succession of complicated curves and grades with no piece of straight track longer than 300 feet. The maximum grade will be 316 feet to the mile, and the average grade 270 feet. The line will abound in curves from 500 to 1,000 feet long, in which the radius changes every chain. The road will cost from $12,000 to $15,000 a mile. THE mayor of Montreal has called a meeting of citizens to protest against pauper emigration from England. The emigrants are largely from the London slums, and are far from be ing desirable citizens. They cannot or will not work, and become charges on the charitable institutions of the city immediately on their arrival. They have been induced to leave London, it is said, by the Marquis of Lome, Sir Henry Tyler, Lord Napier, and other British notables with whom "slumming" has become a fashion able craze. The Dominion govern ment will be asked to make represen tation to the home government in op position to this class of emigration. THE career of that chivalrous South Carolina murderer, W. Bosan Cash. Vina terminated suddenly by his death in a barn from the muskets of his pursuers. Cash was barricaded at Cheraw, and a sheriff's posse sum moned him to surrender. Instead of complying, he opened fire on the be seigers, and, incautiously exposing himself, was riddled with bullets. Mr. Cash's thoughtful action has saved the state the worry and expense of a long trial and the probable dis grace of his acquittal. On the other hand, Cash "died with his boots on," a taking off peculiarly gratifying to men of his vigorous disposition. TROUBLE is rapidly coming to a climax among the Indians in th northwest territories. Peapot has called a big Sun dance and invited all the Indians, and will demand to be given land where they can get fresh fish to counteract the effect of the bacon which has spread scurvey through the camps, causing fifcy of his people to die in three months. He complains of the broken pledges of the government as to the supplies. The Assimbonies and other tribes are to join the movement for a change. Yellow Calf's band is armed and de fying the authorities. Cannon and troops will be sent to the front from Retina and a fight is looked for. STRAIGHT UNIVERSITY, in New Or leans is one of the most successful of the colleges established for colored students. Dean Hitchcock in speak ing of the pupils recently said that their moral character is as good as that of the white students in the same circumstances. They excel in meta physics. "They are," He said, "natural theologians and politicians. In the exact sciences they are lacking. We are not giving the higher branch es of mathematics, ^hiuking it is use less to attempt them. In drawing and music they give especial satisfaction. It has been claimed that the negro is imitative, not inventive. I would like you to notice these original designs by the first class in drawing. You see they do possess some inven tion. Of course they may never be a race of inventers, but they will be poets and musicians." 1- Tine 1 bill relating to the forfeiture of the Northern Pacific railroad lands, Iintroduced by Sen. Dolph, provides "»v for the immediate restoration to the public domain and to the operatien of the public iand laws, that portion of the grant lying coterminous with its T? mainline between Wallula Junction gSr-V and Portland, a distance of 214 miles. It also provides for the forfeiture at the end of five years from the passage of the bill, of all lands adjacent to that portion of the Cascade Grant which shall then be unbuilt: which, in effect gives the road five years to built the Cascade branch. The bill proposes to authorize persons in pos sessing of any of these lands to pur chase 320 acres, if so much has been improved by them, and the railway company is required to file its assent to the conditions of the bill, so as avoid all question as to the title of oifeitod lands, LATEST TELEGRAMS.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY BLISS,of St. Loui3, who has been here a day or two, is in teresting himself ia the bill fixing the salaries of the district officials of the department of justice. The bill, as it now stands, fixes the salary of the St. Louis district attorney at $1,000 less per year than that of the same officer at Cin cinnati and Chicago. This, be thinks, is an injustice, as the dutie3 of his office are quite as heavy as those of either of the ethers named. THE sub-committee having in charge the Sioux Reservation bill will report it to the full Committee on Indian Affairs. The most important amendment they recommend to the senate bill is to strike out the clause which provides for patents in fee to tke Indians as tribes. This will probably be agreed to by the full committee, and it is understood the friends of the measure will not oppose the amendments. In other respects the full committee will undoubtedly agree to the bill substantially as it is.

(Signed) CHARLES J. FOLGER, Ting Secretary. THE House Democrats are determined to finish tkeir business as fast as possi ble. The speed which was made with the appropriation bills last week, three ha been passed in one day in the Committee of the Whele, and the knowledge of the fact that the appro priation Committee is endeavoring to make the remaining bills as little objec tionable as possible so as to avoid partisan debate, iHdicates a determina tion of Randall to force an adjourn ment. THE Senate Committee on Pensions has considered, and it is expected wil soon report, the bill of SeEator Cullom, which proposes to provide pensions for certain invalid soldiers and soldiers who have been discharged from the army and navy after three months' service, and for the widows and depevd ent parents of decased pensioners. The bill provides in substance kthat FOREIGN. KING ALFOSZO, of Spain, promises that the pay of the soldiers shall be in creased, and that there shall be a reform in the system of national taxation.

THE coming of age of the Czaiewitch of Ri-..ssia was recently celebrated at St. Petersburg with rejal pageantry. The members of the imperial family were loudly cheered by the populace on the streets.

A large low ing well has just been struck at Swan ton, which yields 50 per cent of pure oil. The nearness of this locality to the Bal tic Sea affords cheap and abundant transportation, and the Pomeranians are flattering themselves with the prospect of becoming independent of America and Russia by a home supply of mineral oil.

Committed by persons whose stomachs are disor dered by the presence of bile, is to attempt to cause retching and thus to eject it. A wineglass ful or two of that wholesome medicine, Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters. wL'l tranquility the diges tive organs, and the Bitters' subsequent cathartic effect upon the bowels wiU render the relief com plete. Nausea, fur upon the tongue, headache, yellowness of the skin, costlveness, pain in the re gion of the liver and through the right shoulder blade, are the well known indicia of liver com plaint, and it is wise to disperse them with this searching remedy before they culminate in some thing worse. That ceaseless disturber of the stomach, indigestion, is also overcame by the Bitters, and itis a specific of acknowledged effi cacy for fever and ague, bilious remittent and troubles of the kidneys and bladder. It is also highly beneficial in rheumatism, and infuses vigor into a system which requires building up. Reasonable persistence in its use Insures the end in view. CONGRESSIONAL. MONDAY, MAY 19. Senate—The chair laid before the sen ate the resolution offered Thursday by Mr. Morgan, directing the committee on finance to examine the cases of recent failures of national banks, and to ascertain whether such failures were due to violations and evasions of the law on the part of the officers or direc tors of the banks. Mr. Merrill moved to amend by substituting, for the pur pose of investigation, the comptroller of the currency for ths finance com mittee. Mr. Morgan said the very reason why he moved to devolve the duty on the committee was because the officers ap pointed to see that the banks complied with the laws had not performed their duty. There was, for instance, a law for over certification of checks which, it had become notorious, was utterly disregarded. Ou the passage of the law on the subject in July, 1883, the New York newspapers had broken out into spasms of merriment, and told congress •the banks laughedat tke acts of congress, and were beyond congressional control. The failure of the Marine bank was due to the fact that the bank was connected with a firm of brokers and that the bank had supported Grant & Ward in all the wild schemes which the young speculators saw proper to engage in. A spectacle had been presented to the world that argued a painful condition of commercial homr in the city of New York. House—Mr. Hurd, from the commit tee on ways and means, moved to sus pend the rules and pass a bill to abolish discriminating duties on works of art, the production of foreign and American artists.

During the progress of the vote there was a jfreat deal of interest manifested. Mr. Eng lish eat at a desk in the last row and kept tally and looking over his shoul der stood his father.

AN ELOPEMENTS SAD ENDING. The Runaway Couple Overtaken While Crossing a River—A Struggle Ensues In Whicli Two Person* are Drowned. Details of a melancholy accident resulting in the loss of two lives comes from Greenbfier, White Sulphur Springs. The sad affair happened Thursday evening and has caused a profound sensation throughout the eastern portfon of the county. For several months past John Biggs, a young man of good family But of somewhat dissipated habits, had been courting Miss Ellen Farrer, despite the strong opposition of her father, a wealthy farmer living near the west bank of Greenbrier river. Thursday evening the young lady and her lover determined to elope. Biggs having made arrangements with a minister oii the opposite side of the river to marry them. The couple proceeded to the river and were on the point of em barking in a skiff to cross to the other side when the sound of approaching wheels was heard. Having anticipa ted a pursuit, Biggs pushed off, but had only reached a few yards from land when a buargy dashed down to the water's edge, and Miss Ellen's father and brother sprang out, enter ed another skiff and started across. By the moonlight Biggs recognized his pursuers, and pulled hard to es cape, but tke two pairs of oars man aged by the pursuers were too much or him and in midstream he was over taken. Father and son sprang into the first boat, where a desperate strug gle ensued between the former and Biggs, which resulted in the frail bark being capsized. The brother swam ashore with his sister, but the father and young Biggs sank, locktd in each other's arms. Early Friday morning a searching party recovered the body of Biggs, but Mr. Farrer's corpse has not yet been discovered. The People of Mexico. C. A. Dana, in New Y^rk Sun. The population of Mexico is com monly estimated at 9,000,000 or 10, 000,000. No census has been taken, but this estimate is probably not exagger ated. The great mass of the inhabi tants are Indians, and in race and habits they are similar to the Pueblo, Zuni and Navajo Indians of New Mexico and Arizona, They arc gen erally small in stature, sober, honest, industrious, temperate and intelli gent A more valuable peasantry can scarcely be found. Their virtues are their own their vices are of European admixture. School education has done little or nothing for them but of late years efforts have been made to establish schools for their benefit. They seem very capable of being in structed and if, as we trust, there is a bright future for Mexico, it lies in the education aud development of the native race. The ruling classes of Mexico are mainly ©f Spanish and mixed blood. The late President Juarez was a pure Indian, but the number of educated people, with nothing Spanish in their origin, must be very small indeed. Among the civil and military func tionaries the Spanish element ap pears to predominate and the po lii.cal usages of the oountry are de cidedly Spanish in their nature. Ticks on Sheep. From the Farmers' Encyclopaedia. These vermin, when very numerous, greatly annoy and enfeeble the sheep in winter, and should be kept entirely out of the flock. The draft upon the vitality of Iambs infested with ticks is very great, and sufficient to arrest their growth altogether. To rid the flock of these pests is therefore necessary labor in the spring or early summer, and, if need be, again in the autumn. The easiest remedy is to dip both sheep and lambs, as soon as the sheep are shorn, and again in August or September, in a decoction of tobac co mixed with sulphur. Coarse plug tobacco, or tobacca stems, which are cheaper that the leaves, and equally effective, are steeped in water at a boiling heat, but not boiling, at the rate of four pounds to twenty gallons of water. One pound of flowers of sulphur is then stirred in the liquid, which is brought to a temperature of 120 degrees, and kept so during the dipping by the addition of fresh hot liquor. During the dipping, the mix ture is kept stirred to prevent the sulphur from subsiding. The dip may be conveniently placed in a trough or tub large enough to allow of tne immersion of the sheep or lamb, which is taken by the feet by two ien and plunged into the bath at the temperature mentioned, when it is held for a minute or two until the wool is thoroughly saturated The animal is then placed in a pen with a raised floor sloping on each side to a trough in the middle, along which the superabundant liquor escapes into a pail or a tub placed to receive it. This method of dipping is calculated for small flccks, or for a few kundred lambs. For larger flocks, a larger tank is provided, 12 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 4 feet deep. A fenced plat form kads from a pen in which the sheep are gathered, up to the edge of the dipping tank, and the sheep are taken one by one from the pen, led up the platform and pushed into the tank in which the dip is sufficiently deep to cover them. As the sheep plunge into the dip, they ar* seized and kept beneath it, except the head, which alone is suffered to emerge above it. If, in their struggles, a littl? of the dip enters their nostrils, no harm re sults, but the hot tobacco water is, on the contrary, beneficial to those sheep which are affected by catarrh or gruo in the head, and the violent sneezings which follow, may help to free them from these troublesome parasites which often inhabit the nasal sinu ses. The sheep are rapidly passed from hand to hand along the tank until they reach the end, vhere there is a sloping plank upon which they can walk up to another platform. Hjere they are allowed to remain while the excess of dip is squeezed from their wool. From this the liquid drains into tubs, and is carried to the boiler to be reheated, and then returned to the tank for use again. Th« cost of dipping a large flock, numbering several thousands, in this manner, twice in the season, is five cents a head, and the improvement in the quality of the wool, which re sults from the cleansing of the skin from dust, grease, and the accumala ted refuse of its secretions, and its in crease in quality, consequence upon the greater comfort of the sheep, and their escape from the persecution of ticks and other parasites, is estimated at 20 cents per head, so that the cost is repaid more than threefold. The comforting knowledge to the hu mane shepherd that his flock is freed from a most annoying torment, is als9 ssmctbing, which, althougn it do^s not enter tnto a pecuniary calcu lation, and is not measured by dollars and cents, yet it is not on that ac count unworthy of consideration.— Farmers Encyclopaedia. As to Saying Didn't Care a Dan." From the London Standard. Many innocent-sounding expres sions have a strong meaning, while on tke other hand many strong-sound ing expressions are perfectly innocent If a little boy said, for instance, that he "didn't care a dam," he would probably get into trouble, yet there is no harm in the phrase, except, of course, that "don't care" came to a bad end.

A Pneumatic Tube Nearly One Hun dred IHlles In Length. Chicago Tribune. canal commissioners have granted the privilege to Mr. J. W. Beach, of this city, to lay a penumatic tube along the line of the Illinois & Michigan Central Canal from Chicago to La Salle. Tho invention was pat ented by Mr. Beach in November, 1882, and he made arrangements with a railroad company to put it in opera tion along the line ef its tracks, but for some reason this right was after ward denied. The enterprise which Mr. Beach proposes to incorporate will be known as the Pneumatic Transportation Company, which will be composed, he says, of substantial capitalists. It is the intention to transport, not only packages and let ters, but also grain. Mr. Beach is very sanguine as to the success of his project, and say that eventually he will extend his lines to St. Louis by way of Peoria and Spriagfield. The tube between here and La Salle will be ninty-nine miles in length and seventeen inches in diameter. The motor will be compressed air, and the inventoi claims that a speed of ten miles a minute can be attained. Both points from which the material is sent are to hie provided with a de vice which will force the air into the tube at a pressure of 100 pounds or more to the square inch, and at either end will be attached a receiver, a lit tle distance from which a break will be arranged in the pipe, so as to break the force of the article when receiv ed. Provisions are made for receiv ing the matter at intermediate points by disjointing the tubes, both ends being inclosed in an air-tight receiver. Regular time-tables will be arranged, ana at the start but one tube will be in operation. Mr. Beach proposes to organize his company as soon as pos sible and begin operation. He has,received a letter from West minister, England, which states that a similar tube ljetween the House of Commons and the central telegraph office—a distance of two miles—has been in successful operation for some time. Drinking Habits in Denmark. It is reported on the trade and com merce of Denmark, Mr. Harris, British Counsul at Copenhagen, draws a gloomy picture of the drink ing habits of the Danish people as exhibited in statistics recently collect ed by the Govemmem. Between 1860 and 1880 the total number of places licensed to sell intoxicating drink is stated to have risen from 21 to 51 per 1,000 inhabitants. Ic 1871 there were 825 divorces granted in Denmark, seventy of which were brought about by drunkness in 1880 the figures were 3S0 and 104. In Prajsto and Born holm all the divorces are stated to have been brought about by drunk ness. Excessive drinking is declared to be in these cases generally the fault of the husband. As to the influence of drinking habits in bringing people to pauperism, the statistics show that 30 per cent of the persons relieved at public expense are habitual drunk ards. The increase in the amount of lunacy between 1870 and 1880 was 20 per cent., and in Copenhagen the in crease of suicides is ^ery marked. For some unexplained reason there is condsiderable falling off in the num ber of deaths from drinking reported in 1881 and 1382. The circumstance is the more remarkable since there was during the same period a lorge increase in the number of public houses, as well as in the consumption of drink. This is strikingly shown in tke fact that, although the license tax was raised in 1880 and again in 1883 to a verj' high rate, the amount of the drink taxes levied in 1S83 was 270,000 kronei'S, against 120,000 only 1880. Etiquette in Mexico. Native Mexican gentleman—"I deeply regret to be obliged to inform you, my dear friend, that your action last night in the presence of that charming senorita were very rude." American visitor—"You shock me. What did I do? I assure you that I tried my best to make a favorable im pression on that lovely girl. In fact, I am in love with her and would not offend her for the world." Mexican—"I fear you have dashed your hopes then. She now considers you an ignorant boor, too beastly sel fish to be trusted with any woman's happiness." American—"Oh! it cannot be. What have I done?'' Mexican—'"You lighted a cigar in her presence American- "But she assured me that she did not object to it." Mexican—"And you smoked it to the end without American—"Without what? Tell me quickly." Mexican—"Without offering her one." She Twigged. He called at the house and asked if she had any carpets to beat, addiner that he had been in the businees over twenty years. "How much to beat the parlor car pet?" she asked. "One dollar." "Why, that's awful! There was a man here yesterday who offered to do the job for 50 cents." "Exactly, madam, but how was he prepared?" "He had a club in his hand." "I presume so. He intended to take the carpet out on a vacant lot. didn't he?" "Yes, sir. Our yard is too small, you know." "Exactly. That is a tapestry brus sels carpet. It is badly worn. It has numerous holes in it. He would make a great show in gettiug it out and in there. Out on the lot he would give you away to every one who asked who the carpet belonged to. Is that the way to do a job of this sort?" "How do you do it?" "I take the carpct out through the alley. I wheel it home. I beat it in a yard surrounded by a high board fence, and while I am returning it, all nicely rolled up and covered with a cloth, if any one asks me wfcat I have I reply that it is a velvet carpet for No. 224 Blank street. If no one as its any questions I call at the house on cither side of you and ask if they have just ordered a Wilton. They watch me and see me come in here. Madam, in the language of the Greek, do you twig?" He was given the job.

Beecher's thirty-seventh year with Plymouth church ends May 14. A Trick on a Spider. St. Nicholas. A great many years ago, a prisoner of state, who was allowed to chcer the solitude of his dungeon by playing on his flute, discovered after awhile that, every time he played, a great number of spiders gathered around him. Since then, the liking of spiders for music has been proved. I myself had often wished to play for a spider audi ence, but I was not well enough ac quaited with any musical instrument to coax a tune out of it. A scientific gentleman of Europe gave me a valuable hint by an experi ment-of his own. He used a tuning fork. Now I can play a tuning-fork as well as anybody. I procured a tuning-fork, and then sought out a spider. I found a handsome, brand new web, and thought I did see Mrs. Epeira, I knew she must be at home. Epeira diadema is her full name, though most persons call her a gar den spider. It is she who makes those beautiful, wheel-like webs which fes toon the rose-bushes and trees. As I have said, Madame Spider was not visible. I knew, however, she must be in her gossamer parlor, which ia attached to her web. Here was a good chance to try tuning-fork music. I rapped the fork on a atone, and in a moment a soft, melodious km filled the air. I touch ed one of ike spokes of the web with -J* the fork. On the instant, Madame flew out of her parlor in great haste, hesitated a moment at the outer edge of the web, and then, instead of going strait to the tuning-fork, ran to the very center of the web. When there, she quicklj caught holt of each of the spokes one after the other, and gavo it a little tug, as a boy does his fisbing-line to see if a fish is hooked. Each was passed by until she came to the spoke upon which the tuning-fork rested. There she stopped, as it wes easy to see she was excited. She gave the whole web a shake then tugged at the spoke again. "Hum-m-m-nr' still sang the fork, rather faintly now however. Madame was satisfied. Her mind was made up. Down she darted and caught the end of the fork in her arms. She tried to bite into the hard metal, and at the same time she spun a web of silk around and around the prongs, which by this time had ceased vibrating. I pulled the fork away, and Mad ame Eperia retiredjin disapointment to the center of the web. But if she was disappointment, so was I, for I was satisfied that it was not the music of the fork that had attracted her. Un fortunately, it was altogether too probable that she mistook the hum of the fork for the buzz of a fly,—a sort of music no doubt very sweet to her. Time after time I repeated the ex periment with the fork, touching in turn each spoke of the web, and ea^h time Madame Spider was deluded in to trying to capture the tuning-fork. It was odd that she did not learn wisdom by repeated disappointment. Dairy Notes. —Scalding the milk before feeding will usually remedy scours in calves if taken in time. Checking the dis charge too sudden is a common mis take, as the drugs usually given for this purpose peimanently injure the digestion, which is all important for the animal either for beef or milk. —The fat calf, if fed milk all win ter, will be a large strong animal in the spring, and by the following win ter, or when one year old, will not need much more tare than the older animals. The spring and summer calf will be weaned in tie fall, and the chances are that it will not get the extra care it necis the first win ter. —To cure cows from self-sucking it is recommend to tie short, and to ap p1 aloes to the teats immediately after milking, says the National Stockman. The pungent bitter taste of the drug, after one or two applica tions, will gesnerally effect a cure. Keep up the treatment for several days for fear the appetite for milk will return. —Tho London Agricultural Gazetle says that Brittany cattle are small, silky-skinned, docile, and gentle ani mals, giving as rich a milk as one can well desire. Brittany butter, delicate and superior, of which thousands ©f tons are annually imported into England, is produced from the milk of these cows. They are also natural ly ardy, thriving on coarse food, and another important characteristic is their freedom from disease incident to cattle generally. Brittany is in France. —The quality of butter depends im mediately upon the character of the cows food, and should put the cau tious dairyman upon his guard to see that his cows cannot get any kind of food that will injure the quality of the milk. Hence he should be sure to destroy all the weeds in his pasture even more carefully than he does in his ottn cornfield, and as water, when tainted, will work the same evil as bad food, he should see that «nly a pure article is within reach of the cows—Western Agricultulist. —The foreman of an extensive creamery makes the following excel lent suggestions for butter makers: Cream can't swell in churning if it is shut away from ovtside air. There are two great mistakes made by dai rymen one that cream must be sour, and the other that it must be churned hot. Air the cream by frequent stir ring, s® that the oxygen of the air will ripen it churn in revolving churas at about 54° or 55°, and wash out the buttermilk with brine and set the color at the same time. These are the three great things for dairy people to know. —Among other reasons in favor of winter dairying, a writer calls atten tion to the fact that a burden of the milking and general dairy work comes when the "men folks" have the most leisure, and the care of the dairy interferes with general farm work less thap it would at any other season. Another reason is that cows are dry during the months of July and August, when farm work is most pressing, when pastures are shortest, and the flies most troublesome. It is also a fact that choice butter always brings a better price in the winter than at any other season, and bad odors are less troublesome about the dairy. —The Dairyman says: There are but few practices in the dairy upon wtiich writers on the subject seem able to agree, but they come about as near it in their advice on the subject of keeping the teats dry while milking as they do on any other poiat with which we are familiar. As a rule, we believe they are ritht, for the average milker is too careless about keeping his hands clean for it to be safe ad vise to council him to wet the teats with milk, and yet the best milkers we have seen follow this practice. It makes the teats soft and pliable, crea ting less friction and consequently less injury to the skin of the teat. It certainly is the custom of the calf to wet it, which shows what nature is iutended. If the udder was well wash ed and the hands kept reasonably clean, it would seem to be the beat practice. —The influence of good feeding, good care and kindness in increasing the flow of milk is well illustrated by the Channel Island cattle. On these islands the cow is the pet of the house hold, and her great milk yield has been developed solely by the extra solicitude shown for Iter. Another treatment is to stir in all the laundi j starch that can be disolred in a gill of milk warm water, and add ono tea spoonfull of Jamaica ginger. Give to the calf and repeat once in two hours for ten hours. Then scald pint of sweet skim milk, stir in more starch, and feed once in about four hours and as the calf improves three times a day will be often enough to give the starch. Scalded milk in quantities sufficient to nourish and and not to over-feed will be necessary until appetite is gained and bowels be come regular. When looseness is checked, the starch can be disminished in quantity. The Handy Housewife. Dish-washing is one of the home liest home occupations. Three times a day the dish-pan h«« to be brough down and the same old routine gone through. Housekeepers often say: "If I only had some one to do the dishes I should net mind housework at ail but these are probably the housekeepers who wash dishes with out system. They jrat all the dishes, knives, forks, etc., into the pan and in a few minutes the water is very ti.uch soiled, and time is wasted in heating'or pouring in clear water. An excellent housekeeper gives the fallowing directions for cleaning the table and washing the dishes: First, put away the meat and potatoes re maining, the butter, bread and other eatables. Then collect all the spoons, forks and knives by themselves, and the glasses. Pile the saucers up, and the cups, pouring the waste coffee or tea into one cup collect the largest Slates,and, scraping all the refuse into on* ish, after everything is neatly pilea up, remove to the sink-stand or tho kitchen table. It is a saving in the end to have two dish-paas. Always get them larfe. Fill both with good hot water, and put a tiny bit of soda and a piece of soap in the first. Have a large tray for draining. Put the glasses in the first pan and wash with a small dish mop, which may be purchased for 10 cents rinse in the second pan, and put on the tray. The spoons and forks should be washed next then the saucers, cups, plates and platters in the order named. Each dish should be rinsed in the clear water and left to drain. A clean cloth should be used to dry with. Very lit tle wiping will be required, as the second pan of hot water makes them clean and bright. For directions for cashing pots and pans we would advise every house wife to wash them the moment she is through using them it will take but a few moments, and thegrease does not have time to become hard. After the dishes are put away the hands should be washed in lukewarm water and castile soap, and then rub bed with a little Indian moal and water, and lastly with a little vinegar or lemon juice. They may thus De kept soft and white, and will lose that unpleasant feeling that dipping in dish-water gives. Knives should be cleaned after every meal. The pretty red-and-white table cloths are the best for general use at a table V! here there arv children. They will last clean three times as long as white ones. Red napkins are also desirable for children, and may be purchased in all sizes. Stationary wash-tubs or any other kind are much better when painted inside. She best color is white. Enough for two tubs may be purchas e' already prepared for 25 cents, and the painting may easily be done by the housekeeper. Two coats should be put on and the paint thoroughly dry before clothes are put in. Tin fruit or vpgetable cans should be put aside and aaved for future use. They make very artistic flower pots, covered with small colored pictures or painted a deep or green. They are also useful for holding salt, rice, coffee and other groceries. The best iron-holders are made out of felt or chamois. STORY BY A FORTY-NINER. New York Tribune. "I tell you what, sir"—if, was an old forty-niner who spoke, as he sat with his feet on the top of the hotel stove— "there ain't no life on God's earth as comes up to minin' leastwise no life that I've struck, and I've tried a good many things, too. A man don't make money at it. not one in 500 rather they get plenty but they pamble it away in camps as fast as tlioy get it, so't when a region's petered out there Eunko ro'vubly ain't three men outside the men and saloon-keepers as have got a dollar in their pockets. "But it's the fascination of it. Lor' man, when you've struck it pretty rich and can see your gold right in fron't of you when you're piling it up every half hour o' the day, with a nugget now and again as big as a bul let to cheer you, and then when the evenin'comes and you count it up and find a hundred odd dollars just picked outo' the earth that day—well, there ain't nothin' like it. Then when you don't stride it rich you al ways think you're goin' to next day, and it's just as exciting hearin' other men tell in the evenin' what they pulled out as it is countin' over your own. Why, I've been three and four months at a time without a cent in my pocked but., Geewhittaker! the excite ment of it didn'L give a man twice to think how hard up he is. "But there are times when a man don't know how to kick himself hard enough you bet he don't. I was down on the Stanislaus once, I was monkeying round with a pard—Long Gus we called him—an' I picked up a clod to throw at him, just a lamp of earth that was lyin' handy. Well, it just went to one side o' Long Gus, and he sorter reached out his hand to catch it, an.' it all broke in pieces leavin' some in his hand. I expected he'd throw it back at me but he didn't He just tossed it over in his hand careless like, and then said we'd had enough foolin'. So we walked on again. Next mornin' Gus didn't say a word to me, but he jast went off with his outfit to the place where I'd thrown that clod at him, an' took $250 out the first day. An* I don't know how many thousand he took out before he'd done with that claim. As the clod broke in his hand it laid bare a small nugget, maybe as large as a pea—he showed it to me after ward—an' he said it startled him so he very nigh called out an' gave his self away, as nobody supposed there was any gold left just there. It was all thougnt to be worked out, but the darned fools had gone right by the richest part uf it. I wish he had called out, I know but you bet I never felt more like kicking my self into the river'n I did then. Why, if I'd only turned the cussed thing over, or broken it in two—it was a sight too large to throw at once, as I thought when I threw it, but "But there was another time when I felt like hurting myself, too—hurt ing myself right bad—and so did all the other boys, I can tell you. There were some two hundred of us in it, sir. An' we were all foels. It was one Fourth of uly, down to Moke lumne, an' we wanted to do su'thin' to celebrate, an' we were pretty badly fixed for what to do. Weil, after rakin' round a bit we settled on an old tree—one o' these sugar pines. The gold, ye Know, used to lie all along the bottom of the gulcbcs—or so we used to think—and nobody ever thought of going up the little hillside to look for it, but just kep' on work ing along the gulches. An' this sugar pine was some three hundred feet up the hillside, right away from where the gold was. It was a fine tree, as straight as whisky for 100 feet or more without a bough or a leaf on it, and then, the boughs began all of a sudden. It stood out there all by itself like, an' we fettled we'd blow it up. So we gets a twenty-five pound keg o' blastin powder and hauled it up the hill, an' set to work to dig a hole under the tree. We got as Tar under as we could for the tap root and then stowcl the keg away, an' just heaved rocks and e*rth onto it and beat it down hard. Then we lit the fuse and scrambled away as fast as we could. Well, you just be lieve it we scattered those rocks some. Gee 1 but we had to look out for our heads, and the earth went all round the place. But it didn't blow the old tree un not worth a cent It just stood then as if nothing had happen ed, 'eept that the trunk was split open some twenty feet or so. However, we all cheered and hollered, an' felt we'd done suthin' to celebrate,' and tben we went back and 'rahed around tho camp. "That, as I've said, was on the 4th of uly. Along to the end of Septem ber, it might be, it rained—rained quite a sight that year, too. Well, after it'd been rainin'a bit a man call ed Harris—Jim Harris, as good for nothin' a chap as you ever see, who couldn't work or do any thin', an' had nevsr washed out a dollar honestly in his life—chanced to come over that hill on his way to catnp, an' passed right by®tbis 'ere pine as we tried to blow up. None of us had never been up to the durned tree again, but s'elp me Johnny Rogers! if that'rain hadn't gone an' washed all the earth as the powder'd kicked up, an' this feller Harris just picked up $60 as he stood tkere! Tit at proved one of the richest leads .in the whole Mokelumne, an1 here had we been washing away in gulches an' sayin' as there wasn't no gold up the hillside. Warn't "there! This feller Harris got rich out 'o that, 'cos he never spent no money like'the rest of us an' was about the only man as did get rich, I guess. I didn't, I know But I tell you there wasn't one of us 300 as wouldn't have taken it kindlj if some one 'ad kicked him well when we first heard 'o what we'd done." ir. .S SILSBEE Business College.
