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.:

their strips of shiny squares in Maj

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

of semi-outdoor furniture are mnde
very attractive when covered with it

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.

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,

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."
