The Western man who got water In the desert by the aid of a reed and a sponge evidently got the Idea from the bushraen of the Kalahari desert In Af rlca. These people often live scores of miles from places where water comes to tho surface. During certain times of the year sharp storms pass over the Kalahari, covering the apparently arid region with the brightest of verdure and filling for a few short days the water courses with roaring torrents. The bushmen find water by digging In the bottoms of these dried up river beds. They dig a hole three or four feet deep and then tie a sponge to a hollow reed. The sponge absorbs the moisture at the bottom of the hole, and the natives draw It up Into tl:;i mouths through the reed. Self-Pacriflce.

Blankets after tho winter use are never clean, and should not he put away without being washed. Many housekeepers in view of the Shrinking and discoloring caused by washing, satisfy themselves with airing and shaking their blankets, but this is a great mistake, for if the work is prop erly dono tho soft appearance and white ness may ho retained for years. Tho moat important consideration in washing blankets is to have plenty of soft water and good soap. An inferior cheap soap Is renlly tho cause of the injury done woolen goods in washing, as it hardens and yellows tho fibre. When ready to begin the work, shako tho blankets free of dust, fill a tub nearly full of soft hot water, and dis solve a third of a cake of Ivory soap in 1';. Tut one blanket in at a time and dip up and down, gently washing with the hand. Never rub soap on blankets, or wash on the washboard. After the blanket? nro clean, rinse them in warm water until free of suds. Add a little bluing to the last water. Shake and squeeze rather than wring, and hang on the line until dry. Then fold and pack away in a box securely to exclude tho moth. Blanket3 washed in this way will keep their original freshness and wear very much longer than if put away eoiled year after year. Eliza.

Representative Stokes, of South Car olina, proposes to immortalize himself by appearing in political history as a public officer willing to reduce his own salary. On the 21st, Stokes, who was formerly president of the Farmers' Al liance of his State, introduced a bill to reduce the expenditures of the govern ment by cutting down salaries of all public officials and pensioners 30 per cent. His cut begins at the Pres ident of the United States and runs down the scale to tne poorest paid scrub woman in the depart ments. The bill provides that alter March 6, 1898, the compensation of all Senators, members of the House, offi cers and employes, and pensioners of tne Uovernment snail be re-aajustea to the changed value of our money stand ard. The President of the United States judges are exempt until their successors shall be selected, me re adjustment of salaries shall be based upon a comparative statement oi tne . average prices in the first nve years in comparison with the last five in the pre ceding decennial periods. The dis bursing officers of the various branches of the service shall re adjust their pay rolls correspondingly, so that the pay of each officer or employe of the gov ernment shall bear to his pay in the previous decennial period the same pro portion that the averase prices for the respective periods compared bear to each other. Representative Stokes says m sup port of his measure: "The bill empha sizes in a practical way tne growing evils of au appreciating money stand ard. From 1832 to 1895 the average prices of 223 commodities in common use had decreased ' fully 33 per cent. During the same period the compensa tion of officers, employes and pension ers of the govenment has steadily in creased, either in salary, perquisities or both. From 1888 to 1889 the average annual expenses of the government were $263,016,403.18. The average an nual expenses from 1893 to 1890 inclu sive, reaching the alarming figure $353,633,341.40, an increase in less than a decade of unparalleled distress among the people of nearly 30 per cent. Ul course all of this was not salaries and pensions. But the greater part was. I do not think the servants and pension ers of the people are any better than the people they serve and there ought to be some such method of maintain ing equilibrium between salaries and pensions on the one hand, and prices of commodities on the other. The bill also illustrates in a very practical way the good old Democratic way of keeping the government out of debt and reliev ing the burdens of the people by cut ting down expenses rather than by pil ing on taxes. Upon a rough estimate such an adjustment as proposed in the bill should save the government more than $60,000,000 a year, without injus tice to any and without detriment to the public service. The legislative, ex ecutive and judicial departments of the government are responsible in large measure for the conditions that brought on and perpetuate falling prices and there is absolute justice in the proposi tion that they should share with the people "at large the consequences of their own actions. Under present con ditions they actually profit by the dis tress of the people. " TEHUANTEPEC DESTROYED. Not One House Left Standing in a City of 15,000 Inhabitants. Oaxaca, Mexico, June 21. The con tinued earthquake shocks and heavy rains have seriously interrupted tele graphic communication with the Isth mus of Tehuantepec, during the last three days. Advices were received here last night that the official commission sent to the city of Tehuantepeo by Presideut Diaz to investigate the re ported formation of a volcano and the extent of the earthquake damage, has arrived at its destination and found the condition of affairs much worse than it had been expected. The town of Tehuantepec contains about 15, 000 inhabitants, and is com pletely destroyed, so far as houses and buildings are concerned, not one re maining standing. There were a num ber of substantial and costly buildings in town. The people are living in tents on the outskirts of the place. The earthquake shocks continue to be felt at frequent intervals, and the people are terrified. . The heavy smoke and other indications of an active volcano to the west of Tehuantepec are no long er visible. SHOCKS IN CALIFORNIA. Severe Earthquake In San Francisco Clocks Were Stopped. Two sharp and severe shocks oj earthquake were felt at San Francisco Cal. , on the 20th, the official time of the first, as taken by the United States weather bureau, being 12:14:04. It was followed almost immediately by a second shock. The vibrations were from west to east. Clocks were stopped, suspended lamps and decorations were broken in some places, but no real dam age is reported. The shocks were the most severe experienced here for many years. The earthquake was general throughout the State. Deluded Negroes Return. Thirteen colored persons who formed part of the 200 sent to Liberia, by the International Emigration Society in March, 1896, arrived in New York on the 21st, aboard the steamship Liberia. They say the scheme has been a total failure; that many of their number died of starvation and fevers; that the society did not fulfill the contract and many members of the expedition are stranded in England, unable to get back to their homes. Children Frightiully Burned. Fire partly destroyed the home of Joseph Melenski in East Buffalo, N. Y. , and his five children were fright fully burned, one dying and the othero are not expected to recover. The father was frightfully burned" also in trying to rescue them. Closed for want of Hands. The big south works of the Lacka wanna Iron and Steel company of Hcranton, Pa. , has been forced to close for want of hands, throwing out 2,500 men out of employment, because of a dispute over a reduction of wages. "LAND OF THE SKY.' Vanderbllt Buying Treasures for His Magnificent Home. A special from Asheville, N. C, says: Many strange looking boxes, bearing foreign marks and labels, have been re ceived there. Some are marked Paris, Rome, Naples, Vienna, and there were others from Athens, Greece. As the queer looking boxes are tin. loaded from the Southern's cars, they are sent out to Biltmore, and a native says : " Mr Vanderbilt has hecn a-bUyin' more of them old foreign -things, and the dagoes are cheatin' him because he's rich. Why, I can go down thar to Chariot-tie andbuy brand new pictures, and new statutes of the legislature and sculptuary for half what he pays for old broken-up things that ain't got a whole arm or a leg to their heathen names." ' And the mountaineer shakes bis head and looks genuinely sorry for the young millionaire who is now in Europe picking up more treasures for his $6, -000,000 palace up here in the "Land of the Sky. " It is the most wonderful private residence in the world, and to day is dividing honors with western North Carolina's glorious climate and scenery which for years have been the salvation and delight of thousands of men, women and children who, broken in health, come here seeking rest, in vigorating air and pure water. Mr. Vanderbilt himself selected this point for his home after traveling all the world over, because it had the most perfect climate to be found anywhere. The Southern railway officials say that this section is the most popular resort on their great system, a d they attri bute it to the air and the grandeur of the mountains. The coast people have long been de voted to Asheville, Flat Rock. Waynes ville and all this part of the country. There is a tonic in the air and water which puts new life into them because it puts new blood in their veins, a brighter color in their eyes, a ruddy gow or healthy brown on their cheeks. They are invariably the first to come and the last to leave. The exodus from the coast country is setting ir now. In two weeks more the colonies from Sa vannah, Jacksonville and Charleston will be well installed, and right behind them will come the Macon, Atlanta, Columbus, Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans contingents with their beautful belles and aristocratic ma trons. Later, the visitors will come from New lork, Chicago and other large northern and western cities. The best people in the South have been coming here so long that the sum mer colonies have a delightful time so cially, and the seasr n passes quickly for those who are ton'! of social gay teies. On the other hr ; I the guest in the "Land of the Sky," if he prefers, may be as quiet as if he were in bis own home. There are amusements and oc cupation for all tastes riding, driving, mountain climbing, trout " fishing, tennis, gold links, music, dancing, readinar everything to interest and entertain. And around and about, and above al 1, stretching away further than eye can reach, are the towering mountains, clai in mantles of green and filmy hoods of azure. This is scenery sublime the kind which speaks a various language "to him who in the love of nature holds communion with her visible forms. " If what Byron called "the hum of human cities," is torture to your overstrained nerves, here is rest and balm. Here it is pleasantly cool when Georgians, Floridians and Alabamians are dis tressed by the mercury at : to 100. Word comes that more of the fashion able than usual are coming up this sea son from Atlanta and other cities. A great factor in Asheville's growth is the Southern Railway's excellent train service and convenient schedule. The people here realize, too, that the Con stitution has assisted in bringing about conditions which are advantageous to all Western North Carolina. Connec tions are such that one can leave Ma con. Savannah or Augusta after supper, or Atlanta at midnight, and be here the next mornmsr for breakfast. Jackson ville, Columbus, Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans are also all within an easy ride by this system's fast and lux urious trams. Mr." Vanderbilt very graciously al lows the public to visit his grounds and , admire the palace, though it is not ev ery one who gets a glimpse within the chateau where he has stored so many treasures of art and history, yo king. nor queen, nor prince, nor lord on this earth has such a magnificent palace as the quiet, studious, -book and ajt-loving young bachelor has built for himself high up here among the mountains, i'ust a short distance from Asheville. H,e Las spent more than $4,0O0.QOO on it, and intends to put 2.000.000 more into it, and if he lives to enjoy It, no doubt it will cost him all of $10,000, 0Q0 before many years. He has 130.000 acres, and can travel thirty-five miles in a straight line from his door without reaching the boundaries of his estate. Mammoth jJriyaways and cycle roads run every where and there are miles of them, care fully graded and kept smooth. Seldom does any one ever come here without going out to see Biltmore. VICTORIA'S ERA CROWNED. The Great Diamond Jubilee Inaugu rated in London. London, June 21. (By Cables Queen Victoria began the celebration of her Diamond Jubilee on the 20th, as was befitting her entire career, before the altar of her faith. Throughout London, the United Kingdom and the Empire, in every cathedral, church or chapel of the Established Church of England were held services similar td those at St. George's Chapel. Wind sor, where Her Majesty made her de votions and offered solemn thanksgiv ing. xhe announcement that the services at St. George's Chapel would be pri vate and for the members of the roya' family prevented the gathering of f large crowd. The scene was most im pressive, and the service very simple. Her Majesty sat in the chair of state immediately.in front of the communion rail and just beside the brass plate whose inscription designates the spot which was the temporary place of inter ment of the Prince Consort. London, June 21. (By Cable) Queen Victoria, left Windsor Castle at noon, by the Sovereign's entrance, and tra versed part of the high Thames streets of Windsor on her way to the railroad station. Her Majesty s carriage was drawn by a pair of grays, with pos tillions and outriders. The Queen was accompanied by her oldest daughter, ex- Empress Frederick, of Germany, Princes Christian, of Schieswig-Hol stein, and Princess Henry, of Batten burg, , who occupied another carriage preceeding that of Her Majesty. President McKinly sent personal letters to the Queen which were de livered by Whitelaw Reid, special en voy. A New York scientist says that "the average person Is supposed to use abbut 12,000 words a day." Is he a married man? Map the Orchard. When trees are set out they usually have . a tag describing the variety at tached either to a stem of the tree or to some limb. This is necessary so long as the tree is out of the ground. But after it is set a map of the orchard, with each tree located on it and described, should take its place. As the tags are generally attached to trees by wires, this, as the tree grows, prevents the circulation of sap, and, unless removed soon, may cause the tree to be nearly girdled by the wire. Home and Farm. Culture of Dewberrle. The proper culture of Lucretia dew berry is not generally known. 1 dis covered it by accident. It must have just as far as .possible the chance that it has when growing wild by fences. Cover it winters with leaves piled on plentifully; and in spring tie the plants to stakes and let the leaves lie between the rows, held down if necessary with few shovels of earth, or a few poles. The vines will then bear heavily and secure for you a paying crop. Other wise the fruit is liable to be only knobs and hard, useless, half-developed ber ries. "E. P. Powell, Oneida County, New York, in American Agriculturist. Peppermint Culture. In answer to inquiries about raising peppermint, how the oil is extracted, and cost of plant, we give the follow ing: We understand there is a small area in Michigan devoted to the culture of peppermint, though most of the pep permint oil produced in this country comes from Wayne and adjoining counties of New York, where there are about three thousand acres devoted to the cultivation of the peppermint plant, the annual product being not far from fifty thousand pounds of oil. It is raised by division of the old plants and not from seeds. The culti vated plants are preferred to those crowing wild, and are set out in the spring' and given very thor lgh and clean cultivation. - The harvest begins in "August. After the mint is mown it is allowed to wilt from eight to ten hours in the sun, then raked up and placed in'cocks, where it must not be left for more than a day or two, else it will heat and spoil, but should go to the still while fresh and but slightly withered The stills consist of wooden tubs strongly hooped, and into these the stems and leaves are packed by tread ing with the feet. When the tubs are filled, the covers, made steam tight, are put on and fastened with clamps. A steam pipe connects the lower part of the tub with a steam boiler. Another pipe connects the top of the tub with the condensing worm. When the steam is introduced from the boiler it permeates the contents of the tub and escapes through the pipes connecting with the worm, and at a pressure of about forty pounds the oil is rolati lized and mixed with the steam, then carried through the pipe to the wdrm, where it is condensed and the mixed water and oil discharged into a re ceiver. The oil being lighter than the water it rises to the top and is easily removed. The cost of the apparatus required for distilling the peppermint oil wil depend very much upon its capacity, and may cost from five hundred up to many thousands of dollars. Farm, Field and Fireside. Kicking Cow. experience with the. My experience with the . cow born with an instinct for kicking is that she can never be thoroughly cured. Some times a heifer will try to kick the milker away when she is not wel broken to milk. Her bag and teats are then tender, and it is not difficult to understand why she should do her best to escape the ordeal of milking. Some men have so little sympathy with a heifer at this period that they hurt the udder unnecessarily, and pretty soon the habit of kicking may have been formed. With care, however, the tendency to" kick may be overcome, and will never reappear. But there are some cows which seem to be born kickers. Some eight years ago I uought a very good-looking cow six years old. The owner told me she was gentle and free from bad tricks. I found that she was, indeed, .very gen tie at times, one would come up in the lot to be fondled, and was a great favorite with the children. But the satue spring I bought her, and before she had come in, she would stand in the stable and kick with both hind feet at the cows each side of her, using , first one foot and then the other. thought it might be because she was in a strange place, and that she would be all right when she became used to her quarters. But this was not true. or some days she would be per fectly quiet; then without warning her legs would fly. She was a strong cow and things moved when she kicked. I tried the plan of tying a rope about her body just in front of the bag, and as long as the rope was kept on she was quiet. As soon as the rope was left off, trouble was likely to begin at any time. I never was sure that 1 would ge away with my pail of milk. After a thorough trial, running through a number of years, I became convinced that she was incurable, and disposed of her to the butcher. This cow raised several heifer calves while I had her, and every one of them was light-footed. Right down through the whole race that fault extended. have gradually weeded them out unti! I have one two-year-old heifer left. She is half Jereey, and gives promise of being an extra cow; but if she de velops the habit of kicking she will go for of all demoralizing things in dairy a kicking cow takes the lead. - Life is too short to spend breaking kicking cows.. There are just as good cows which do not kick and why not have them? E. L. Vincent. The Influence of Bnral Electric Roads. The electric roads that are now being built all over the country are beginning' to be a considerable factor in bringing about certain changes. since they connect numberless small towns with the large cities, and carry their cars past the doorways of farmers. The steam railway, of course does the same thing, but with a notable differ ence; on it the cars stop only at a few stations, usually several miles apart, and the number of accommodation rains is limited to relatively few a day each way, while the electric cars stop at any point, and several of them run every hour until midnight. By their means the country is made a suburb, and the influence of the city is radiated more extensively than ever before. The farmer whose home fronts on a country road, and who has been compelled heretofore to hitch up his earn and drive five miles to a railway station, or - to the country town, now has a car running directly past tne door; and this car stops in response to his signal. If he has business in the town, he can use the car, leaving his horses at home to do their work in the care of others; he can make his trip in any sort of weather without inconveni ence, and the cost is inconsiderable. The rapidity of the trip saves his time, while there is economy in employing his horses on the farm; he keeps more in touch with the markets, and he is improved by contact with active men. The isolation which has always been one of the great drawbacks and in conveniences of country life is reduced considerably. The family of the farmer is able to go more frequently to town, to see more of people, to reach not only the nearest town but the city as well; by constant friction with outside people fashion and art have an increased influence on the rural dwellers; the manners and style -of speech of the towns are spreading in the country places, and the provin cial spirit is disappearing more and more before the metropolitan spirit. The farmers along the electric lines, or near them, will soon be practically suburban residents, and their children can, when desired, attend very con veniently the town schools by paying tuition. A large number of people who en joy country life, but who have not been able to indulge themselves here tofore, can now take up their abode at considerable distances from the cities, and yet reach their business places with little expense for trans portation. These roads will have a distinct effect in relieving the con gested condition of the cities; they will also have an effect upon the health of many by giving the opportunity to live away from crowded streets. The electric roads are also affecting the price of land favorably. A farm that is connected with the towns and cities by having these cars pass with in a few yards of the doorway will necessarily be considered a much more desirable place of residence than it was before. Thus the electric roads that reach out from the cities far into the country are producing many changes that are all favorable to progress. Calvin Dill Wilson. Small Fmlt Notes. The roots of currants and gooseber ries of bearing age should not be dis turbed by cultivation or hoeing until after fruiting season. Apply a mulch of coarse manure or straw, thick enough to prevent the growth of the weeds in and about the hills and rows. Look for the currant borer. When the leaves start, affected canes com mence to wither and die. Cut out the affected canes below -the black center and burn at once. All newly set plants should be thor oughly cultivated; weeds must not be allowed to grow for they consume valuable plant food anjtl the moisture so necessary to the young plant. Frequent surface cultivation makes the natural food of the plant more available, prevents escape of moisture and holds water in store for summer use. The root is the foundation of the plant. It should be stimulated to early and continuous growth by the best care in the beginning. Picking, packing and marketing are important factors in growing fruit for profit. If plants have failed to grow, set new ones in their places at once. One can not afford to have missing hills. Blackberry and raspberry bushes should be trimmed severely, cut back at least onethird or one-half. Severe pruning increases the size and qualtity of the fruit. The grower should understand that choice berries are always in demand and the market is never overstocked; that it costs just as much to raise poor berries as good ones; that it costs more to pick and pack poor berries; that freight and express charges are just as high on poor berries; hence there is profit only in growing the .best for the market. . Berry boxes should be made before the season begins. Clean, well made packages neatly stenciled on the side with name and residence soon become your "trade mark;" let it also be a guarantee of good berries honestly packed. Never allow stems, leaves, dirt, im perfect or unripe berries in the box. Always have a uniform quality through out and the boxes well filled. For long shipment pick every day, and before the fruit is too ripe. Never offer poor berries for sale and never use a dirty box or a poor case. If it becomes necessary to sell poor berries, send to a good commission house, but never place your name on the case. Let markets be as near as possible and to regular customers. If you would have good markets and good prices always deal honestly with your customers. M. A. Thayer, ojoarta, Wis. Probably the oldest tree in Dela ware was cut down near Newcastle xe cently.
