Art of Living With Others.
It is not well for us to cherish tho habit of
dwo'.liug too'much on tho faults and short-J
comings ui inosu wiwi wjiom ho nvr. is
makes ns Inoru critical than generous. It
affects the "cordiality of our manner toward
them. It insensibly lessens our confidence.
It interferes with the delicious case and
freedom of our intercourse with them. It
.color the remarks that we make about them
to others, and then re -acts with a double force
upon our own feelings and our relations to
istem. It is said of the virtuous woman,
whose price is above rubies, that the law of
kindness is ber tongue. But in order to be
in her tongue, it must first be in her heart,
and the habit of dwelling much on the im
perfections of our friends and associates will
aoon drive it from us.
Miss M. M. sends the following, which she
h has tried for starching and ironing shirts; I
starch the shirt on the wrong side, rubbing
it in with my hands, and bang it on the line
to dry. After it is dry I starch it again in
cold starch, let it lie about ten minuter,
then take a dry cloth and run it first ono way
and then another, place it on the ironing
board and iron it.
Why Hess Eat Baas. Mr. Joseph Alex
ander says the reason why hens eat eggs in
winter is because they aro dry and they eat
'vine eggs to quench their thirst. A neighbor
f-Vas troubled by his hens eating their eggs;
after he heard the explanation of Mr. Alex-
render he supplied them with water, and the
first day they drank several basinfuls. This
seemed to corrobo.-ato the theory of thirst.

such early lessons that it man Is ontlro

think and study upon this subject, of
influences that wo are dally bringing to
bear upon tho plastlo minds of our
children. A mother tired or, worrlod

Another great help to moulding the

Fakmkiw and IUikomatism. In answer to
the question, "Why farmers are so liable to
rheumatism?" tho Science of Health says: "If
farmers would avoid suddenly cooling tho
body after great exertiou, if they would be
careful not to go with wet clothing and wet
feet, and if they would not over-eat when in
that exhausted condition, and bathe daily,
using much friction, they would have little or
no rheumatism."

How to Hake a Fire.
I am surprised sometimes when I sco wo-

sorry when a man is in a hurry to got to tho

Scrap-Jar aad Work-Baiketa.
One of the most useful articles a lady can
have, is a scrap-jar to stand by her sewing
chair or writing table. Mine Is a two-gallon
pickle-jar that had been put among rubbish,
because so badly cracked as to be unfit for
holding liquids. A coat ot brown paint and
pictures brightened it up so that the once
worthless jar is now an ornament. The pic
tures are put on with wheat-flour paste, cooked
until smooth. My scrap-jar is as convenient
as an editor's "waste basket," as it saves time
and steps when there are bits of paper or
eloth to dispose of. The jar should be smaller
at the top than at tha bottom, so that tho
contents cannot be seen. When full, it can
bo emptied into tho paierrag bag, which is
usually found in country homes.

A Oahole of salt and vinegar, with a little

Tho now constitution adopted by voto
of tho intelligent pcoplo of California, is
a roforin document in overy senso of tho
torm. Monoy was lavishly used by
both capitalists and' criminal classes to
prevent its adoption, without avail.
It prohibit? tho confinement of wit
nesses in any room wliero criminals aro
actually imprisoned. It rondcrs it al
most impossible to hang a jury by cor
rupt means, in civil actions, xs three
fourths of a jury can . render a verdict.
It makes v impossible tlio escapo of no
torious criminals through tlio connivanco
of corrupt officials presenting indict
ments Willi flaws, as a presentment
upon information may bo amended if
found defective. It secures tho speedy
punishment of a class of roguos who
have hitherto escaped, through the death
or intentional absonco of witnessos, be
tween tho time of tho commission of tho
crimo and indictment by tho Grand
Jury. It protects tho press from perse
cution by providing that actions for li
bol can only bo brought in the county
whoro tho papor is printed, or whoro tho
libclod person resides; and novcr for tho
Bamo oflcusc in inoro than ono county.
It provonts corporations other tlian mu
nicipal from taking tho property of pri
vate citizens without first paying com
pensation, tncretor. It provonts rail
roads or otlior corporations damaging
tho property of private citizens by so
constructing their roads as to impair tho
valuo of said privnto citizen's property,
unloss compensation is mado therefor.
It declares in unmistakablo languago
that no special privileges or immunities
shall bo granted winch may not bo
rovokod or repealed by legislature. It
provides that no property qualification
shall oyer bo required for any person to
voto or hold office. It (lobars persons
who may bo convicted of any infamous
crimo, embezzlement or misappropria
tion of publio monoy, from exercising
tho privileges of nn olector in this State.
It permits tho Governor to veto any
item 111 an appropriation bill a check on
thieving. It prohibits tho indiscrimi
nate appropriation of Stato funds (o pri
vate ciinnties. 11 piucus 11 salutary
check on stock gambling, by preventing
tho salo of stocks 011 margins, and by
firovidiug that tho Lcgislaturo must pass
awa for tho regulations of Stock ex
changes, etc. It prohibits tho loan of
tho crodit of tlio State. It prohibits
Bubsidios. It makes lobbying a felony.
It docs nway with tho uxpensivo feo and
pcrquisito system as applied to Stato of
ficers; a clear saving of 8150,000 par
annum. It authorizes tho Lcgislaturo to
pass laws fur tho regulation mul limita
tion of tho ehargos for sorviccs performed
and commodities furnishod by telegraph
and gas corporations. It authorizes tlio
Legislature to regulato the charg
es by corporations or individ
uals for storogo and wharfage,
in which thoro is a publio use.
It gives each county n court of general
jurisdiction.open at all times for tho
transactlouwf liusiiTciia, thorcby bringing
justice h&no (6 ovory roan's door. It
hastens tho docision of cases by with
holding tho salaries of judges who havo
ueglcctod to dooidu cases for uinoty days.
It prohibits tho pardon of n criminal
twico convicted of felony, uxcopt on re
commendation of a majority of the Su
premo Court, and requires tho Governor
to givo his reason to tho Legislature for
ovory pardon ho grants. (This latter
provision ofluctually closes tlio door to
political pardons. It makes impossible
tuo lostoringoi toreign prejudices in tlio
ranks of tlio militia by prohibiting tho
carrying of other HagH than that of tho
nation or State, thus making tho organ
ization truly national. It ndvuucos thu
causo of education by requiring tho com
man nchools, wheraver established, (o bo
kept up nnd supported six instead of
throo months, nn at piesmit. It locog
nize.i in tlio publia school system high
schools, 1101 mul bcIiooIi and ovening
schools, which aro totally ignored by tho
existing constitution. It pmvidiH that
tho Stato school tax nnd Stato bdiool
fund shall ho applied exclusively lo tho
support of primary and gnuiiumi schools,
latving tho support of high, normal nud
technical schools to bu provided for by
tho legislature or by municipal or dis
trict authority. This method secures
justico to thoso localities which cannot
avail themselves of tho highur educational
facilities, by obliging them to pay for
what thoy get. It absolutely prohibits
tho appropriation of any monoy for sec
tarian schools. It prohibits tho teach
ing of sectarian or denominational doc
trines in tho publio schools. It stops
tne contract system in prisons, by winch
particular firms have, through iwlitical
influence, been enabled to obtain con
tracts at such figures as to beat down
competition, and requires instead that
convicts shall bo worked for tho benefit
of tho State. It arms counties, cities,
towns and township organizations
with tho necessary polico now-
ors to rid themselves of tho Chinese.
It gives tlio local authorities tho power
to npjsiint officers, to regulats tho inspec
tion, mca.su remcut or gradation of nny
merchandise, inanufuctiiro or commodity,
but prohibits tho appointment of State
ollicirtls. It requires all moneys, assess
ments and tuxes belonciui; to or collect
ed for tho uso of any county, city, town
or other publio or municipal corporation
to Iki immediately doposilod with tho
treasurer or other legal depository of
such comity, city, etc., for tho benefit of
thu funds to wj.ich thoy irapectively bo
long. The unlawful and unauthorized
using of public moneys h mado a fel
ony. It prevents tho holding of monop
olies by gas or water companies, by guar-
uuiccuig uj njut 10 any oae to supply
oithor commodity, under certain proper
and general restrictions. It provonts
tho stockholder of a corporation from
selling out to irresponsible persons, and
thus avoiding tho just share of tho lia
bilities created by himself during tho
timo he was a stockholder. It makes
tho directors or trustees of n corporation
liablo for moneys embezzled or misap
propriated by the officers of such cor
poration during tho term of Huch di
rector or trustee. It prohibits incorpor
ated companies from conducting their
business in such a maimer as to infringe
tho rights of individuals or tiio well-
being of tho State. It provonte a cor
poration from swindling its creditors, as
at prcsont is often dono, by selling its
property, such as steamboats, etc. it
prohibits corporations making a ficti
tious incrcoso of their capital stock. It
secures tho right of representation to
all shareholders in stock companies.
It absolutely places out of tho power of
tho giant milroad monopoly of tho Stato
tho carrying out of tho design to mo
nopolize tho grain handling of tho Stato,
with which object in view thoy havo se
cured a large portion of tho water front
of two cities. It requires foreign cor
porations doing business in tho Stato to
snbmit to nil tho conditions imposod
upon thoso incorporated under tho laws
of tho State. It puts a stop to tho
thieving plan now in vogue, of officers
aud directors of stock companies lotting
contracts to themselves, thereby, in most
instances, swindling tha remaining stock
holders. It prohibits the issuance of
froo passes by railroad companies to any
ono holding an oflico of trust or emolu
ment under tho Stato (excepting tho
llailroad Commissioners), and tho ac
ceptance of n pass by any suoh officer
will work a forfeiture of his office. It
creates a Railroad Commission nnd arms
it with full powors to regulato fares and
freights and prevent discrimination. It
provides a system of taxation which
will really lwar equally on all classes, by
exempting no class of property, all of
which must Imj Uxod in proportion to
its value. It exempts growing crops
from taxation, thoroby reducing tho
hazards of agricultural pursuits and
oncouraging husbandly. l provides for
tho nsscssment of "cultivated and
uncultivated land of tho same
quality, and similarly situated, at tho
sarao valuo." This will mako tho burden
of taxation fall equally on tho largo
landed proprietor nud tho owner of 160
ncrcs. It makes impossiblo tho fraudulent
trnnsfor of property to oviulo taxation.
It makes it possible to tax tho property
of tho Central l'acifio llailroad monopoly
within tho State, at something near its
valuo. Tho Stato is piobibtted from cm
I ploying Chinese labor, and thoir cm
ployment on county, municipal and
other publio works, except in punish'
mont for crime, is piohibited. It makes
nialfeasanco in officp more odious than at
present, by providing that Uwb shall bo
mado to oxcluuo from onice, serving on
juries and from tho right of suffrage, all
persons who may bo convicted of suoh a
crime. It makes eight hours a legal
day's work 011 tho public works. It
provides that no person shall bo disquali
fied, ou account of bcx, from pursuing
any lawful business, vocation or pro
fession. Bee.
DUaiter to frontier Flocks.
Tho average man finds satisfaction in say.
ing, "I told you so." In no such feeling, how
otor, does Tho Journal recall its oft-repcatod
admonition to flock-masters in tho more
favored localities to prujuru tbomsclvoa for
such extremes of woather as constitute tho
exceptions to their usually favorahlu sur
roundings. Tho gonial temperature which,
as n rulo, has so greatly ossistod tho rauch
inon of .Southern Colorado, If ow Mexico, and
Texan to lido through tha winter months,
was, luring tho winter snaaon just paused,
crowded much below its mora common limits
-entailing enduring aud death upon tho
ilocks which are forced to depend far food up
on tlio dry grassca under a covering of snow.
Many of tho reports regarding losses are
probably exaggerated, though when thu truth
is known, its repetition will iluubtlwa havo
tho cITcct of materially toning down tha
rosoata tint which, to the oyu of tha novillata
in husbandry, has so long unvoloped tho
frontier shoop walk.
This depletion ot frontier flocks will not bo
so complete n loss, if tho present disasters will
but determine thoeo who aro tho sufferers
thereby, and also thoso who may coma after
them or among them, to guard against a
recurrence of the experiences through wWch
pastoral husbandmen hare just passed.
Doubtless many of them now soe where, by
tho use of ordinary foresight, and at an
expense within reach ot tlio poorest among
them, a very large proportion of their aovero
losses might havo been avoided. Thus fore
warned, will they as hitherto be found unpre
pared at the threshold of winter for any con.
tingency its rigors oan ioasihly foroo upon
them! lletter have a few sheds or wind,
breaks untenanted, and somo garnered food
