Sweet milk rubbed on the surface of
any pastry, before baking, such as bis
cuit, gems, short-cakes or even pastry
for fruit pies, will make them brown
nicely and give them a flaky appear

enemy which is s:iid to throw the old
potato bug far in the shade. Its body
is shaped something like a grasihopper,
with a head resembling a lobster. It
burrows in the ground and preys up n

In nearly thirty.vears of experiment

Large evergre.'ns are much out of
place on the sunny sido of the hous?,
while they form an appropriate screen

trees are often planted too near to our
dwellings, and too thickly planted, so
as to make the hou-e dark, damp and

The cruel waste of burning up great
piles of straw after the wheit is thresh
ed .should be stunned. Good bright
i i o
wht-at straw, put up in good stacks,
will keep cattle, s;ietp and hors-js in
lair condition all winter, if propcly
fed to them. An id'owauee of one or
two small feeds of coro per day, it is
true, will be quite an aid. Iowa State

It is not alone the unripe fruit ex-po.-ed
for sale on curbstone stands in
the city that makes work for the doc
tors and undertakers. Hanging on the
bough, with the sunlight flecking it, it
is more tempting and not. les.s deadly.
Let the country bos and village boys
beware of all fruit which is nor fully
ripened, that their days may be long in
the land. N. Y. Sun.

Flaked Fish. Make a .cauce by

Fruit Canning. Put a pint of
warm water in a bain and hy in a flan
nel folded several thicknesses, being
careful that the flannel is a little larger
than the bottom of the dish. Place
your empty jar on the flannel and pour
in your fruit boiling hot. A large
nmmber of cans can be filled without
changing the water, with no danger of
bre iking. This simple method saves
much time and trouble.

Most every one holding their own and

the Monumental quartz mill, which is
progressing finely. All anticipate
good times in the near future, as every
thing goes to show, at the present
All are satisfied that the inin-s are a
permanent thing and will hold out well,
saving OrgoiVs reputation for a quartz
bearing state, most other mines having
only prospered for a shoit time. New

an. San Francisco, Aug. 26 The chief
of police, county and police judges and
the sheriff, have had a consnltation
with regard to removing De Young
from the city prison to the county jail.
It was fianlly decided to keep Jiim
where he is, as the jail con Id not be
so eisily defended as the prison. The
working men's guards have been with
drawn from the Metropolitan Temple
and only a few police remain on duty to
keep the street quiet. Shortly before
noon, Kalloch's medical attendants held
a consultation and as a result, announ
ced the patient decidedly improved.
Printing Office Secrets. A
properly conducted printing oftiice is
as much a secret a3 a Masonic lod"e.
The printers are not under oath of se
crecy, but always feel themselves as tru
ly in honor bound to keep office secrets
as though triple-oathed. Any employe
in a printing dlice who willingly disre
gards this r :le in relation to printing
office secrets would j.ot only be sei ned
by his brethren of the craft, bur would
lose his position at once. We make
this statement because it sometimes
happens that a communication appears
in a newspaper under an assumed sig
nature, which excites comment, ard va
rious parch s try to find our, who is the
author. Let all be saved the trouble
of questioning the employes of the prin
ting office. They are know-nothings mi
such points as these. On such matters
they have eyes and ears, no mouth, and
if any fail to observe this rule, let them
be put down as dishonorable members
of tho cr..ft. It. is the same in job pnn.t.
ing. If anythir g is to be printed and
kept secret, li t proper notice be given
of the desire for secrecy, and vou mifht
as well question the Sphyi.x as orie of
the printers, so that even the secret
bo'iks for the lodges are printed with
out fear.

Col. Wolcoltand his party of railroad
surveyors, says the Boiso Douiocraf, ar
rived and camped above town last
Thursday evening. They came down
the Boi-e river to within a few miles
of Little's bridge far enough to see
that there was no obs'icles in tho way
of extending the road through to Boise
City by the river route and then re
turned and come by the wagon road.
They leave to day to examine the coun

John Day' valley to the Dalles, with
the intention of striking the Columbia

R. It. surveying pirty got out of wa
ter in the Yakima country last week.
Their suffering were so intense that
they unharnessed the horses and mount
ing them started ti find water. Be
fore this, however, two of the party
ha.d straggled behind and were left.
Water was found by some of the party
who stirted back to the wagon with a
supply for the rest All were found in
the vicinity but a young nrm about 22
years of age, by the name of S. N.
Smith, one of the stragglers. Evidence
of his having been to the wagon was
found, but no trace of him has been
discovered, though diligent search was
made. It is feared ti.at he strayed off
in the delirium caused by thirst, a-d
perished in the extensive sa(;e brush
desert forming that region. A large
has been promised the Indians if they
will find Smith. Standard.
