o o o o o WIT AND HUMOR. Solitaires are well enough in dia monds, but -when it comes to pancakes man reacLesfor clnstera. Little tilings should not be despised. The little toe is the smallest on the foot, but it always has the" largest corn. A tablespoon! al of ground horse-radish, added to every quart of catsup or pickles, will keep the mold from the top. Policeman: "Now, then, move on! There's nothing the matter." Boy in crowd: "Yer need't tell us that; you wouldn't "be here if there was." "I thought you told me that 's fever was gone off," said a gentleman. "I did so," said his companion, "but I forgot to mention that he went off along with it." Sharks won't bite a swimmer who keeps his legs in motion. If you can keep kicking longer than a shark can keep waiting, you'll be all right. De troit Free Press. The Dayton Democrat has seen a horse in that place eat meat. We have fre quently seen horses run for steaks here, with a bit in their mouths. f Boston Commercial Bulletin. "Darling, Kiss my Eyelids Down," is the latest moonshine song, and he kisses them down, and up, and cross wise, and all around, then settles on her mouth as a steady thing. 'Oh, George, I'm ashamed of you rubbing your lips like that, after that dear little French girl has given yon a kiss!" "I'm not rubbing it out, mamrov, I'm tabbing it In.'" Punch. A man who. was shocked by lightning on the same night that a small-pox hos pital was struck, was in a dreadful stato of suspense until convinced that he was hit first. Philadelphia Press. She saw the placard in front of tho bookstore, "Yon can get 'That Husband of Mine' for half a dollar," and as she passed on she muttered, "I have one I will sell for half that much." He was a maniac. He and his attend ant were on their way to Lexington. He kept muttering, "State tax city tax head tax; head tax, city tax, State tax." He had owned a city lot. Courier-Journal. At the picture gallerv: Lady (with a catalogue "No. 53, 'Eve tempted.' " Gentleman (desirous to know the paint er's name) : "Who by?" Lady (shocked at his ignorance) : "Why, by the Devil, of course." A good little boy who was kicked by a mule did not say naughty words or go home crying to his mother. He just tied the mule within five feet of a bee hive, backed him round to it and let him kick. Piichmond Dispatch. Guest "How did cabbages happen to grow in tbat alleyway; they certainlv could't have been planted there." Por ter "La, no; that's where the ge'men throw their Havana cigar stnrnns." Philadelphia Press. "Ha," said a father to his son Wil liam, "hearty breakfasts kill one-half of the world, and tremendous suppers the other half." "I suppose, then," re torted William, "that the true livers are only they who die of hunger." The fact that the tin suspender bat ton in a church contribution box on foreign missions can on a square issue outvote the nickels two to one, is jiot to be taken as an indication of a return to specie payments. Ha wkeye. A Bo man who recently returned from Philadelphia, infoims us that a Keeley motor consists of a pound of boarding house butter shut up in an iron box. This statement will do much to restore confidence in the power of the motor. Home Sentinel. "Do you reside in the city?" asked a masked man of a masked lady at a San Francisco masquerade party. He felt faint when, in the well-known voice of his wife, she said to him in low tones: "Don't be a fool, John; I know you by that wart on your thumb." Tourist (on approaching hostelry): "What will you have, coachman?" "A wee drap 'whisky, sir, thank you." Tourist: "All right. I'll get down and send it to you." Driver: "Xa, na, gie me the saxpence. They'll gie you an unco sma glass!" Punch. An old lady at the Maine muster, noticing tho fine appearance of General Chamberlain on his white horse, gave very soberly this valuable information to her companions: "Gen. Chamberlain has had seven horses shot from under him, and that is tho very horse!" At a duel tho parties discharrrpd tboir pistols without effect, whereupon one of I the seconds interfered, and proposed ( that the combatants shake hands. To this the other second objected as un necessary; "for," said he, "their hands have been shaking this half hour." Lord North, who was not fond of scientific music, being asked to sub scribe to the Ancient Concerts, refused. "But, your Lordship's brother, the Bishop of Winchester, subscribes," urged the applicant. "If I were as deaf as he, I would subscribe, too," was the reply. An old bachelor was courting a widow, and both sought the art to give their fading hair a darker shade. "That's going to be an affectionate pair," said a wa?. "How so?" asked a friend. "Why, don't you see that they are dying for each other already," was the timely re joinder. A glutton of a fellow was dining at a hotel, and in th course of the "battle of knives and forks," accidentally cut his mouth, which being observed by a Yankee sitting near by, he bawled out: "I say, friend, don't you make that ar hole in yonr countenance any larger, or we shall all starve to death!" Dog Seller: "That ere hanimal's the real stock, mum, and dog cheap at $30. Young widow: "It's a sweet and pretty darling; black and white; but in mv present state of bereavement, you must procure me one entirely black; this will do very well, in about six months, for half mourning." Let it Go. A lady who was suffering under a slight indisposition said to her husband, "It is with the greatest diffi culty that I can breathe, and the effort Oratresses me exceedingly." "Then I wouldn't try, my dear: let your breath go," responded the domestic brute, in tones of pretended sympathy. Let a young gentleman and a young lady try the following scientific experi ment: A galvanic battery is set in mo tion, and while he takes one handle in one of his hands, she takes the other in one of hers. Then let them softly kiss each other. This is an improvement on the Brooklyn style, and it brings out all the fireworks there are in two loving soula. Treatment to Barren Trees. A gentleman who has had consider able experience in fruit raising gives the following as his method of forcing barren trees to become productive: " Some fifteen years ago I had a small apple tree that leaned considerably. I drove a stake by it, tied a string to a limb and fastened it to the stake. The next year that limb blossomed full and not another blossom appeared on the tree and, as Tim Banker said. 'That sot me a thinking,' and I came to the conclusion that the string was so tight that it prevented tho sap returning to the roots consequently it formed fruit buds. Having u couple of pear trees that were large enough to bear, but never blos somed, I took a coarse twine and wound it several times around the tree above the lower limbs, and.tied it as tight as I could. The next Spring all the top above the cord blossomed, as white as a sheet, and there was not one blossom below where tho cord was tied. A neigh bor, seeing my trees loaded with pears, used this method with the same result. I have sinco tried the experiment on several trees, almost with the same re sult. I think it is a much better way than cutting off the roots. In early Summer, say J une or Jnly, wind a strong twine several times around the tree, or a single limb, and tie it, the tighter the letter, and you will be pleas ed with the result; the next Winter or Spring tho cord may bo taken off." We went into a stable recently, where the air was stittling hot, and reeking with odors ftom the manure beneath the horses feet. The poor brutes were perspiring freely, while swarms of flies tormented tho very life out of tuem. This was during the hour at nooiiTwhen the horses were being fed and recruitod for a heavy afternoon's work in the mowing machine. We feel that wo are perfectly safe in saying that an hour's imprisonment in that stablo on a hot day, would enervate a team more than half-a-days work out in the pure air. And there are many stables liko this through the country. In nine cases out of ten, no thought is given to the matter of ven tilation, in the construction of stables. This was low, with narrow stalls, a long feed trough running the whole length, and a feed rack above it. Thero was no chance for introducing a current of air, which would be appreciated fully as much bv a horso as by his owner. Sta bles should be kept scrupulously clean, and even disinfected during the close, sultry weather of Midsummer. We know of one farmer who makes it a busi ness to wash out his stalls with cold wa ter before puttingjn his horses at noon, and it is a practice to bo commended where water is convenient. But at least, give the tired horses clean, whole some stalls and plenty cf air. Practi cal Farmer. Treatment op Cows. A writer who says that one good cow gives all the milk that is needed in a family of eight persons, and from which cow was made 260 pounds of butter last year, gives the following as his treatment: " If you desire to get a large yield of 'rich milk, give your cow every day water slightly warm, slightly salted, in which bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water, You will find, if you have not tried this daily practice, that your cow will give 23 per cent more milk immediately under tho effects of it, and she will become so at tached to the diet as to refuse to drink clear water unless very thirsty; but this mess she will drink most any time, and ask for more. The amount of the drink necessary is an ordinary water pail full each time, morning, noon and night. Southern Farmer. The Grange is a living power. Why? Because it is an organization of farm ers, and farmers are the conservators of the strength and of the moral purity of the race. Why? Because, the living in the country, under the sweet air of heaven, and surrounded by the realities of God, they grow strong and healthly in body, mind, and heart. The Grange is tho organization of farmers. While grass grows there will be farmers. While men remain there will be those who try to oppress and defraud farm ers, and farmers will resist, and band together to make their resistance more effective. The Grange is this organiz ed resistance. It is the world. It re presents and combines together a vast body of intelligent, just-minded men. It gives these men the power of combin ation. The Grange has but just begun its work it will not end it till time shall bo no more. Patrons Helper. A ScnooiiMASTEK. after triviufr one of his scholars a sound drubbing for speak ing bad grammar, sent him ti the other end of the room to inform another boy that he wished to speak to him, at the same time promising to repeat tho dose if he spoke to him ungramatically. The hoy, quite satisfied with what he had received, determined to be exact, and thus addressed his fellow-pupil: "There is a common substantive, of the mascu line gender, singular number, nomina tive case, and in an angry mood, that sits perched upon the eminence at the other side of the room, wishing u mnuuiai-e aiew sentences to you the present tense." in The Blessedness of Work. Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness. He has a work, a life-purpose; ho has found it, and will follow it! How, as a free-flowing channel, dug and torn lir- Vhi- force, through the mnd-swamp of one's existence, like an ever deepening river there, it runs and flows, draining off the sour, festering -water graduallv from the root of the remotest grass-blade making, instead of pestilential swamp' a green, fruited meadow, with its clear flowing stream. How blessed for the meadow itself, let the stream and its value be great or small. Thomas rar. iile. Mix Them. Experience shows that the farmer who raises his wheat his corn, his mules, and his pork at home, succeeds better than the one who raises only one article. This argument for a mixed husbandry is equally strong for a mixed industry, and the country that manufactures every article that its sou ana resources adapt it for, is richer more prosperous and powerful than the' one which confines its industry to the manufacturing of but one article. Two Sunset Effects. Artist: (lost in rapture at the glory of the sunset): "Isn't it lovely! Artist's wife (with an eye to the fashions): "Well, yes; but I don't think much of the pattern. The material's too heavy, and it isn't half trimmed enough!"" (Which naturally striae the artist as odd drawbacks to a sunset. Funny Folks. A Russian Peasant's Savings Banlr. In one of the small provincial towns of Southern Russia a savings bank has recently been established, the second clerk of which while lounging at his desk on a "flat day" in Summer, was startled by the entrance of a heavy looking peasant slouch--, grimy, un kempt the very last man one would expect to see in a bank, except for the purpose of robbing it. The apparition came timidly up to the counter, and 'tho following dialogue ensued: "Well, my good fellow, what may you want here, pray?" "If it please you, father, I want you to take charge of some money for me. Our folks say that I might be robbed of it, and that it will be safe with you." "Money, eh? Why, how much money have von got then? Four roubles? Five? Ten?" "It must be more than that, I fancy. My wife and I couldn't manage to count it all, though we've been at it all morn ing." So saying, tho gentleman in sheepskin produced a tattered, filthy leather bag, and poured out before the clerk's aston ished eyos a perfect pyramid of bank bills of all values from one rouble to fifty. The amazed clerk hastily sum moned his two colleagues, and the three, after a long spell of counting, satisfied themselves that tho total amount was nt less than 20,000 rou bles ($15,000). The peasant, who had stood watching tho operation with a look of childish curiosity, pocketed his receipt and walked off as coolly na if nothing had happened; but the next morning he reappeared and again ad dressed himsolf to the same clerk. "God be with you, father. Do you take care of gold, too, as well as bank bills?" "What, gold? Why, you'd better start a bank yourself! How much gold have you got, in heaven's name?" "Two boxes full." At this point the banker himself, who had been listening to the conversation with the deepest amazement, came for ward and announced his intention of accompanying his strange customer home, and taking charge of the gold himself. The unwashed capitalist joy fully accepted tho offer, and the pair drove out to a hamlet about two miles from tho town. Here the peasant led his companion to a small, mean-looking hut, and opening a shed on one side of it, displayed two battered wooden boxes, through tho breaches in which gold pieces were escaping in all directions, while beside them lay the dirty bag which had held the bank bills of the day before. The banker asked in amaze ment, "How long have you had this money?" "My father and grandfather saved it up," answered the peasant, and buried it here; and I dug it up just the other day, because I'm going to shift my quarters." "But, with all this money, why don't you and your wife live in better style?" asked the banker, looking around at the miserable hovel. "Why should we. father? Wo do very well as we are." Some months since a fond Detroit father imagined that his only son, a young man of twenty, was going into consumption. A doctor was consulted, and ho advised that the son be put through a course of gymnastic training. The young man seemed to liko the idea, and for two or three months he was in daily attendance at a gymnasium. Then he began to grow careless and finally quit it altogether. The father thought he could see signs of failing health again, and to induce the son to go back to rings, bars and gloves once more, he fitted up a private gymnasium in the barn, and began a coursa of exercise himself. The other morning he remem bered that he used to bo a boxer in his younger days, and he remarked that ho'd give the sen a few lessons. He was balancing himself on his heel and feeling out with both hands, when some thing hit him, and half a minute after ward he dimly realized that some one was bending over him and saying: "Father, dear father! are you dead?" He sat up, looked around, and hoarse ly inquired: "Jim, what on earth happened?" "Why, father, I got in a love tap on your nasal just a little feeler, to see if you were solid on j'ourpins." "Didn't you strike me as hard as you could?" "No not half not a quarter. It was what tho boys call 'feeling for clar et.' Your nose will spring back into position in less than half a day." The father got up, let the gloves fall from his hands, and as he caught the trapeze to steady his legs, ho said: "Jim, your mother and I thought you were going into consumption, and Doctor he backed us up in it. That's why he sent you to learn gym nastics. Jim, I'm a fool, your mother is an awful good woman, and if we can get tho doctor up here long enough to let you feel for his claret, I don't care how soon I die." Rudely Awakened frm Love's Young Dream. On Sunday last a young couple were in town. They were from the rural districts, and had wan dered down to seo the shipping and view the lake from the end of the pier. They sat on the dock near the custom-house with their feet dangling off, and gazed upon the turbid stream as it flowed on ward to the sea. As the sun went down into tho green and golden waters of the lake, and the moon looked down in sil ver glory upon the landscape and the graceful outlines of the railroad bridge, they began to grow sentimental. Soon his arm stole around her waist, and he bent down to kiss her. Alas! Love knows nothing of natural philosophy, and gravitation enters not into its rose colored dreams. A slide, a shriek, and both dropped into the river out of sight of the cold world. Then thero was a rush, and the ardent lover was brought to terra firma (dry dock, literally) on the end of a boat hook, while his loving companion was scooped up with an oar. Cleveland Herald. A well-known conjuror had a bright little fellow on the platform to assist him in the "experiments." "Sir," said the conjuror, "do you think I could put the twenty shillings which the lady holds in vour pocket?" "No," said the boyconfidently. "Think not?" "I know you couldn't," said the little fellow with great firmness. "Why not?" "Be cause the pocket is all torn out!" It is said that the nutmeg tree bears fruit from ten to one hundred years old. That must be the tree the boarding-houses keepers pick their spring chickens from. Doo days are almost over, nights last all the year round. but cat From Swamp ami Marsh, From land left satnrated by receding floods, and from pools stagnating in sunken lots on t he out skirts of cities, rises a vapor pregnant with dis ease. Its name is miasma, and it is laden with the seeds of fever and ague, bilious remittents, and other malarial disorders, llow to cope suc cessfully with these destructive maladies is a problem solved more than a quarter of a cen tury ago by the discovery of ifostetter's Stom ach Bitters, which ha9 proved itself an absolute specific for miasmatic disease in every form, its sure preventive, and a superb invigorant and general alterative of disordered conditions of tho system. Irrefragiblo evidonce to prove this fact has been accumulating for years, and scarcely a dav passes without somo fresh cor roboration of it. Eminent physicians have, af ter a thorough test, pronounced the article per fectly efficacious and absolutely pure, and the American people long ago adopted it as thoir favorite household remedy. 33 1-CARBONATE OF SODA. It Manufacture in San Francisco An Important Home Indiitt ry-Its Xmner; ou Vs.es Destine-a to Supplant For. elg-i Importation The Pacific Soda Co. Their Office and Factory The K.v relleut 0.uality of the Product The Supply Ample for the Market. Carbonate of soda has been found for agon in tho soda lakes of Egypt and lluntfaiy, and in other mineral waters. In the desert of Thaiat, west of the Delta in E:jypt. is a pit twelve milcH long and three-fourths ot a mile in width, w hich is tilled in winter with a violet-colored water live to six feet in depth. When tbfs elaborates in summer it leaves an incrustation of soda half an inch thick, which is gathered and utilized by the natives. Carbonate of soda is used in glass blowing, soap making and bleaching. It is pro duced in large quantities in Nevada. Neverthe less there was imported inte the United States during the past year over 3,000,000 pounds. Hal soda is an impure carbonate of soda. A carbon ate is a salt mixed with a baso, and forms a carbonate of soda. Saleratus is a carbonate of potash, and contains a large quantity of car bonic acid. It i uo:l extensively for cooking cakes, etc. I-CAOSATE Of soda contains two equivalents of carlxniic acid to one base a supercarbonate and is ob tained by passing carbonic acid into a strong aqueous solution of crystalized carbonate cf soda. Iii-carbonato is "used largely among farmers, and all households for cooking pur poses, with yeast powder, etc. Eornnrly t-iis article was imported almost exclusively front England, whence it still comes to our coast in largo quantities. But until recently tlio soda producing regions of the Pacific Coast have been comparatively neglected, and h;nco our dependence on a foreign supply. At length, however, cfpitalists and manufacturers are awake to the importance of meeting our de mands nearer home, and saving duties, freights and handling expenses. Within a few weeks, alter numerous experiments and a luavy out lay in fitting up manufacturing works, THE PACIFIC BOI. CO. Have come into possession of tho secret of pro ducing bi-carbonato of soda etjual to tho most superior importations and at much less exiJewe. And because of the excellent quality of their production, and their ability to put it on tho market much lower that the ruling rates for for eign imports, this company are fully determin ed that no outside supply shall be able to com pete with them, butsimll be ultimately excluded from this market, supplanted by our own homo manufacture. This will be a great gain to con sumers among our own people, and the foreign production wdl turn eLjewhere for a market. The Pacific Soda Co. is A STOCK COMPANY, And lias 25,000 shares at a par value of SlOl), or 250,000. Aaron Doud, who lias been in busi ness in this city for the past 21 years, is the President, and Vm. H. Chaffee is Secretary. fr. J. S. Doe is the Treasurer and principal owner of the stock and property, and is well known to the business community in connection witli tho fash and door business, in which he has W n engaged in this city on a largo scale for M--:e than a quarter of a vcentuary. The company have their office and samples at 101) California street, and their factory on Berry st., between Fourth and Fifth. It is now three years since they started the business, but only recently that they have perfected arrangements for tho production of a pure bi-carbo:iato of soda. The company own 1G0 acres of land in Churoliill county, Nevada, 20 miles from Wads worth. On tkis land is a flat of 14 acres in basin-like form, surrounded by high bluffs. In the centre of the flat are two or three acres of WARM SPRINGS, From which the soda is obtained. Natural vats, or trenches, are dug and tilled with water, which tho warm winds of summer, with tho thermom eter at 100 degrees, ciuse to evaporato, leaving the crystalized soda, which is pulverized by stir ring, put into sacks and brought to our city, whero it is sold by the Nevada Company all of wh-se property now belongs to Mr. J. S. Doe to the Pacific Soda Co., in which ho is also tho principal stock-owner. The sacks then go to tho factory on Berry street, where they are stored for reduction. Mr. Doe recently sent a largo quantity of the crude soda to England to be tested, and it was so pure tho manufacturers could hardly believe it genuine. THE FACTORY Is 40x120 feet and two stories. It contains an engine, 34 vats, and a gas chamber in which the bi-carbonato is produced from thecrj-stalized by the injection of gas. Tho company now have facilities for turning out 30 tons of bi-carbonato monthly, exclusive of other productions of car bonate of soda, etc., and they are prepared to increase their operations according to tho de mand. At present they employ about $18,000 capital in the manufacture. Up stairs the first rpm is devoted to putting up tho bi-carbonato in packages and boxing for the market. Hero als are tho labels, Btencirs, etc. Back of this is tho testing room, and in the rear the drying room. Outsido the factory are numerous liogs heads filled with ash of soda. Near by are piles of limestone and coke, used for heating pur poses. Tho process of CRTSTALIZATIOX Of tho soda is very interesting to observe. The pieces are often of very fantastic formation in tho vats, and tho edges are smooth, pointed and fretted. At present from 25 to 30 tons of bi-car-bonate of soda are used monthlyin San Francis co, and it is not difficult to perceive what a sav ing thero must be to tho consumers when this is obtained at a much leas cost than tho foreign ar ticle and just as good. Of courso somo bi-car-bonate manufacturers have greatly injured the trade in the local production by tho use of adul terations, which have reduced the percentage to about 70. Thus by increasing the quantity re gardless of the quality, they have been able to undersell tho foreign genuine article. This, however, is very shortsighted policy. Bnt now the Faciflc Soda Co. produce the pure bi-car-bonate of soda at a less cost than the foreign or domestic adulterations. The company manu facture SAL SODA, Soda ash, yeast powder, washing powder, salera tus, carbonate of soda, bi-carbonate cf soda, etc., and promptly fill all orders. Somo dealers have been timid about patronizing a homo in dustry like this soda productions lest it should prove a failure by the time it was fully intro duced. But the Pacific Soda Co. will be perma nent, and has ample capital and business capac ity to back and sustain it. Therefore merchants need have no hesitation about sending their or ders to this firm. And those doing sr express themselves hishlv trratified and satisfied with the quality of the production. ,S'. F. Journal of Comxtenv", Aug. A Handy Workman. Mr. I. A.
