'■ MATTINGS HELP A ROOM. !<tp«ne»« Variety a' Great Value ie Adorning n Room, There was ouch a time when mat ting meant a covering for the fiooi consisting of an unbroken succession of dark and white squares that made the floor look like a gigantic checker board. It was heavy and stiff and shiny, was fastened down with big double clamp tacks and bulged In nice ! Itttle hillocks at stated Intervals, li ■ had a "best room" smell, strongly sug gestive of horse hair furniture and ;>i« four-post beds, and was always a--> ciated with long, hot summer after noons. Time and fashion, assisted !>t the Japanese, have wrought sucb I changes that nowadays matting Is »tH | of the most satisfactory and artistic of i household furnishings. The obi Checkerboard patterns an still to he Reen and are preferred by some people, but the materials nr« much tlner In texture and more eastlj handled than the old fashisned kind 'l lie regular Japanese matting, how ever, is really a thing of beauty, and besides being used as n covering Coi Doors is put to other uses not dreanie.: sf by tho methodical honaekecpert >>t the good old times, who put down their strips of shiny squares in Maj and took tluMii up In September ->r Oc tober, This Japanese matting, while nol particularly Inexpensive, costing as It does 7." cents a yard, or TO cents li purchased In the piece of forty yard!, has the advantage of wearing remarh ably well, it is soit and pliable, ami when the strips are sewed together, Bl they always should be. the matting may be laid as smoothly ns a carpet. For Burner use particularly there is nothing more satisfactory than thu t.\plcal product of the orient, with its light background and the big, vague looking flowers done In Indefinite pink . and blues and rods, with probably only one design to the yard, thus giving an effect of space and naturally of coo] ness and harmonizing well with rug* of any description. For carrying out a Japanese effect the matting Is used to cover wnlls. It Is tacked oil nt the top and bottom nnd between the widths «re run strips of a contrasting color, covering the seams and giving the appearance of panels. Owing to Us flexibility this mntting is also largely used in uphol stering Rummer furniture. Settees and ceitlfi. porch chairs and other pieces of semi-outdoor furniture are mnde very attractive when covered with it —Brooklyn Engle. FRENCH DOMESTICITY. KimiltirH Aro Nowhere More United tiinn They Are in France. Curiously enough, one of their greatest qualities, domesticity, is about the very last tiling that foreigners of any nation ever think them capable of, says a. Paris correspondent of the Ix>u<lou Globe. And yot in no country in the world does one see families so united ax in France,. The ho/irtJess ness of the French marriage system is often commented upon, and yet French marriages turn out, on the whole, just us well us any other, If not better. French parents under- Bland that in bringing children lute the world they undertake a responsi bllity, and from the moment a girl I born her "dot" in begun to be hoard e<l up. Then when she arrives at a marriageable aga a young man of somewhat about her own age and k<» cial position and possessed of a sim ilar fortune is searched for by friends uiul relatives, and when found a mar riage is "arranged." 1 have known one woman who bitterly complained of thus being thrown Into the arms of v stranger, but only one. And she— although she complains about the want of romance of her young days— has made a most admirable wife and mother, and certainly a useful mem ber of society. French husbands and wives an usually the very best of friends In the world, seconding each other In whatever state of life they happen to be, and considering the bringing up ajid marrying off of their children as things of the very greatest importance. I have before me a letter received the other day from an old friend, now a widower, announcing the marriage of one of his two daughters. Curiously quaint to BngUsfa ears sounds the man- nor of his announcement: "AujonrdI- hul Je vlens vous fair* part due marlage de ma fllle Marie aver M . C'e«t un charmant Jeune homme dont )• conuals la famllle depuls longtemps et gui me presente toutes leu assur ances de bonlieur que Je puts sou halter." I can hardly imagine an English father announcing his daugh ter's marriage In these terms! Of course, during the engagement the young man and his "fiancee" will not have many opportunities of becoming better known to each other, as they will never be 1.-.ft for one moment alone together. "Jut that, as experi ence h«s proved Is no reason why their marriage should not turn out to be a very happy one. Times I lief f»mi«h Water.

It's easy to win a smite from a woor au IX sli« Aas pretty to«th. - Conquest 35 Great American Desert Montana Is coming In for a big share of the general prosperity of tho country, and It will only be ■ few short years when she will rank with any of the Northwestern States In agricultural greatness. The recent act of the Interior Department of the United States In setting aside $1,000. --000 toward reclaiming three or four hundred thousand acres in tho Milk River Valley Is but a beginning of a much vaster development of this sec tion as the needs grow apace. Al ready the agricultural worth of this to be famous valley has been ade quately demonstrated In the results which have followed the Irrigation works already established. It has been successfully proven that all kind* of agricultural products grow In great abundance wherever Irrigation is used. The (soil is naturally rich and needs only moisture to make it yield prolific ally. The Great Northern Hallway's main line practically cuts the valley in two. The fact that the government has decided to begin Immediate oper ations will prove a great incentive to the people of that section who have always believed in the future of their country and will open to settlement a vast area of rich land to the home seeker and Investor. Professor El wood Mead, the Irriga tion expert of the United States De partment of Agriculture, lias borne en tlniNiiistU 1 testimony to the great capa bilities of the Sacramento Valley when ■applied with water, In canals and ditches, for Irrigation, He says, In an official report, that its available water supply should make it "the Egypt of the Western hem sphere." The Irrigable ."iron of the valley is estimated to bo more than .T,(MX),OOO acres, and calculations show that the average annual discharge of the Bae rntnpiito River nt Its mouth Is bulll clent to Irrigate every acre of this groat nrea. Professor Mead, after re marking that It la a sinful waste to allow so much water to flow unused to the son, snve for purposes of navi gation, thus UluHtrates the astonish ing variety of the product* of the soil: "Within n radius of five miles In the Sacramento Valley I saw every product of the temperate and neml troplcal zones which I could call to mind. Applet and oranges grow side by side, us did oak and almond trees. There were olives from the South and cherries from the North. A date palm seemed equally at home with an nlfal fa meadow; flga and Tokay grapes were apparently us much tn their ela lneiit as the fields of Wheat or barley or the mwH of Indian corn, some of the stalks of which measured fifteen feet In height. All Of these could have been grown on a single acre, and doubtless have been." In another report the same authori ty expresses a like view, as follows: Id September lust I uw a part of the Sacramento Valley in Its moat un lovely aapect Oik; of the trips taken was from CblCO t'i Willows, two towns about thirty miles apart, but the road thirty five mllea Klmllu cmfwyp shrd traveled made the distance about thirty-five mllea. We crossed what Is potentially one of the most fertile and promising agricultural districts on this continent. For scores of miles the land rises by a gentle mid uniform slope from the Sacramento River to ward the foothills on either side. Wa ter would flow over every acre of the country traversed without requiring much labor In Its direction or skill In the location of lateral ditches. The. plains of Lombard; are not better suit ed to Irrigation, nor the noil of tin- Nile l>eltn more fertile than were then* lands originally. For a half centQTy they have been devoted to the unremitting production of cereal crops. Kit^li geußon the crop hns been harvested, the grain shipped away, and the straw burned, and nothing ■done to replace the plant food with- Irawn. A more exhaustive form of ngricnlture cannot be Imagined. Al though this surprising drain haa gone jn for fifty years, It cannot continue forever. The absence of rainfall during the harvest period Is one of the great ad vantages of California, where the needed moisture can be supplied by Irrigation. It Is likewise one of the greatest obstacles to diversified agri culture where dependence Is had on rainfall alone. The natural opportu nities of the district traversed are equal to, If not greater than those of the country surrounding Riverside, Cal., which has been appropriately designated as the "Garden Spot of America," but a difference In agricul tural Ideas hus produced a eorrenpond ing difference In conditions. The bonanza wheat farm and the bonanza orchard were In accsrd with tha spirit which from the irst has dominated the Industries of Califor nia. It is a State of vast enterprises I Men pride themselves on great «nder i takings and doing whatever tlisy un dertake on a large scale. Wheat can be grown in this way. The man with ' capacity for organization can look after the growing of 10,000 acres of wheat, as easily as ten acres. It la an Industry freed from detail. There Is a period of seed time and harvest, and long Intervals of complete freedom. It haa none of the petty Incidents I which go with the management of a farm where there are chickens and pigs, where cows are to be milked, and butter and eggs marketed,' wbcr* fneS month hat Its duties, and where there la no time when something; does nqt - need attention, , This wort of farming comes with hl?h-prlced; land' and y a ;'. dense population, but it doea not ap* peal to the Imagination Ilk* the plow ing of fields so large that, turning' a single furrow requires 11 day's journey, or the cultivation of the ground witb Btenrn plows mid harrows. The cut>* ting, threshing nnd sacking of grain at a single operation is Bpcctacatat hi well as effective. In this respect It resembles the range cattle business la its best days. Acute I ncliiiCHt ion. Acute Indigestion may result from innny causes, but when It follows im mediate]; upon ■ holiday feast, it li usually attributable to rdlstanttofl of the stomach, aggravated, perhaps, by the presence of such Indigestible things an pastry and plum pudding. it occurs a little oftoner In children, but in them It In rarely so serious in its consequences as it is Is adults, for nausea Is more readily Induced and more promptly yielded to, and as ■oon as the stomach has got rid of Its burden, the trouble Is nt an end. An adult, on the other hand. strug gles ngalnßt the feeling of oppression, and often Intensifies it while Reeking to relieve it by taking stimulating po tions. In many onscs the first Indication of tlit> (lUturbance Is loss of COUSdOUS ni'Hs or a violent conrulslon resem bling an epileptic seiiure. Sometimes, Indeed, It Is difficult to distinguish tha ntta«ilv from one of tteart failure or hd apoplexy, for both thoße coiidlUons nre favored by OTerlndulgence, A rtlu- Unctton Is important, however, for neglect of appropriate treatment In elth«-r condition may favor a fatal ter mination. The old advice to quit a meal befora a feeling of satiety has been obtained Is Htlll good; one should ceaSS at least before a sense of discomfort has been produced, and room should always be allowed for the secretion of the Austria juice, which in an ndult often amount! in nearly a quart. When tha walla of the stomach have been distended to their utmost capacity by food, tii« addition of no much fluid would neein of Itself enough to Induce the uttnciq or If the distent lon prevents the »e --cretlon Of the fluid, ns it docs nor mal muscular movements, the process of dlKOßtlon Is delayed, the food is re tained too long In the stomach. It un i>rp>es abnormal decomposition. In flammation Is Induced, and this ex tending to the Hinall Intestine may lead to more protracted Illness. In the treatment of acute lmllocu tion, the production of nausea should be favored, When vomiting occurs, It should not be cheeked until the stom ttch liiib been relieved of its burden. If It does not occur spontaneously, It should generally be Induced, if unconsciousness or a convulsion hns supervened, a physician must be called without delay, for it may be necessary to administer an cmptio subcutaneously. Following this, a laxative is gen cnilly given, and the diet fur a few days is limited to easily digestible, onlrrltatlng fond. Milk, of course, is tin- safest form of nourishment, ex cept for those with whom it does not agree, and the addition to it of h Httlo lime-water or Vichy will often remove nil objection.—Youth's Companion, Troablraomn Children. Everything Is relative, after all, even age; yet one might suspect that the "children" of one of Mr. Muzzey's Men of the Revolution" might have ar rived at years of some discretion and proper regard for behavior. When I saw the old soldier, says Mr. Muzzey, he was the sole «urvivor of those who witnessed the Battle of Hunker Hill. At the age of »5 years he was attending a Whig celebration held at Boston In 1850, and there I met him. He was a good-looking old man with a large, well-shaped herfH, bin© eyes and mild expression. His whole countenance beamed with benevolence. I asked him If he had any children. "Oh, yes, I have two sons," he re plied. "Why did you not bring them with you ?" The old man's smooth brow wrin kled Into a semblance of a frown as be said: "I didn't want to be plagued with those boys on an occasion of this sort" "Why, how old are they?" I oked, I wondering If he could mean bin rand chlldren. "oh, one Is 70 and the Ota*, is 72. »ut I couldn't be bothered with them." One of Their Own Set.
