NATIONAL AID. Does the West Want It for Irrigation? Governor McCord of Arizona Expresses His Views. Governor Myron H. McCord of Arizona, in a recent interview, expressed himself vigorously on the subject of irrigation for the West, and on the question as to whether the arid lands should be ceded to the several States and Territories. He said: "A national system of irrigation is no new theory with me. Three years ago last January, in some remarks I made before the Agricultural association of Arizona upon the subject of 'Statehood and Irrigation,' I took occasion to say: 'Every man who believes in the perfect development of our country should support a national system of irrigation.' That is the only way the vacant spaces in our national domain can be rounded out and our country made symmetrical. Should this great government take hold and carry out such a work, which it could do and not feel the cost, even if it required $100,000,000 or $200,000,000, the mighty Southwest (which means Northern Texas, Southern New Mexico, Southern Colorado, Southern Arizona, Southern Utah and Southern California), which contains such vast areas of now useless land, would become a veritable paradise. With a national system of irrigation, millions of people from the East could find a home in which peace and plenty would reign. "The Governor of this Territory (Hughes), in his annual report, recommends that the provisions of the Carey act be extended so as to apply to Arizona. The Carey law gives each State in the arid region a million acres of land, provided the State reclaims it. While I have great respect for the opinions of Governor Hughes, yet upon this question I cannot agree with him. Such legislation is not what we want. The land would be utterly valueless to us, because we could only get it reclaimed by giving it away, and it could only be given away when an aggregation of capital could be induced to undertake its reclamation as a gift. If a corporation could be found that would undertake its reclamation on those terms, and should succeed, they would own the land, and of course have the right to fix such prices upon it as they desired." "If the government parts with its title to large quantities of the public domain in the arid belt, under the operations of the Carey law and kindred measures, it will prove a great draw- It Cares A New Skin Anita Cream Is a cure for all discolorations of the skin.

Dun & Company's Review of Trade Conditions for June in Southern California. General trade and industry throughout the country the past month was marked by steady quiet. Distribution, as usual at this season of the year, was limited, but fall orders large. The iron situation remained unchanged. Market for woolen goods strong, with price advanced. In our immediate district interest centers in the deciduous fruit crop, and canning and drying are in full swing. It is the grower's year, apricots and peaches bringing $20 to $40 a ton. There is a good crop of apricots and a fairly good one of peaches. As noted last month the grain and hay yield proves light, grain about 1/4 crop, hay 1/4. Beans are doing well. As much of land usually given to beans was given Her Private Punch. The women hurried along street from the Art institute way to the Woman's Euchre Handel hall. "Just run in with me here," said one. "I've got to punch." The clerk showed a colleague that made holes of shapes. "No." said the shopper. Just a simple, round punch—the And she abstracted a cardboard pocket that showed the six perforation. "Oh, very well!" said the clerk have it. But it's not called for private games." And that was brought out and sold promptly. The second woman wondered her friend wanted of that punch, but kept her curiosity to The game was exciting, and friend is a good player, she wished games. The second woman not particularly. But when she were exhibited the friend had marks punched in her score card other woman saw then the view of the particular punch they had The friend had won eight gams then had done a little punching private punch. The prizes at these club contests quite valuable, and the spirit bling has become so pronounced some of the players that they above resorting to unfair meaniture them—Chicago Inter Occupancy. Her Evening Gown. It is undeniable that forests mats in Washington frequently themselves at a loss owing to elites presented to them by customs. Even the language of culties. Only the other day the Guinness minister was speaking to sitting ladies of what he regarded remarkable social experience here at the capital. He had been led to an afternoon reception. "And do you know," he said hostess received the guests in gown! "Good heavens!" replied the minister to whom this information dressed. "Surely you are job Minister!" "Not at all. I assure you," read the diplomat. "It was in her mind that we were received—low rate bare arms!" "Oh, you mean evening dress not. Mr. Minister?" suggested the ladies. this question I cannot agree with him. Such legislation is not what we want. The land would be utterly valueless to us, because we could only get it reclaimed by giving it away, and it could only be given away when an aggregation of capital could be induced to undertake its reclamation as a gift. If a corporation could be found that would undertake its reclamation on those terms, and should succeed, they would own the land, and of course have the right to fix such prices upon it as they desired. “If the government parts with its title to large quantities of the public domain in the arid belt, under the operations of the Carey law and kindred measures, it will prove a great drawback to the scheme for the accomplishment of which the entire West should bend every energy and use every honorable means, viz: national irrigation. “Those were my views three and a half years ago, and time has confirmed me in the belief that they were then, as now, sound. Eighteen months after the address above quoted from was delivered, in my report as Governor to the Secretary of the Interior, I advocated a national system of irrigation, saying, among other things: “The Government could carry out such a work readily. The millions that would be needed could best come from the nation, and with a sale of the lands irrigated, the money that it cost could be returned to the national treasury. With a national system of irrigation millions of people from the congested centers of population would find homes in the West.” “Now, these are my own individual opinions, but I am gratified to know that every irrigation congress that has met in the West or elsewhere has resolved in favor of national irrigation, and against cession of the lands to the States and Territories. Even the recent congress at Wichita, while more of a commercial gathering than anything else, passed resolutions in favor of national irrigation, and refused to pass a resolution in favor of cession. “Those who favor the giving of the lands to the States and Territories say it is idle to think that Congress will in this generation, or in the next to come, adopt a system of national irrigation. “Those who pretend to think so are either ignorant of the sentiment prevailing in the country and Congress, or they are not honest. For they should know that Congress, at its last session, came very close to appropriating $300,-000 to begin work upon a system of national irrigation for the arid West,” and that the leaders of all parties agreed with Senators Warren Carter, Rawlings, Shoup, and others, that at least that sum should be appropriated by the next Congress if they would consent to let the matter go over. “If the Government parts with its title to the arid lands, and they are hawked in every city in the land to find capital to reclaim them, as they would be, they will never be reclaimed, as they should be, for the benefit of actual settles; but if the Government continues to own them the time will come when it will see the wisdom of reclaiming them to make room for the over-crowded cities, and will do it. Until that time the people and Congress should be warned against all efforts to give the lands to the States and Territories.” The first part of an athlete's training relates to the care of the stomach. The nourishing quality of his food is considered. The quantity he eats is carefully weighed and measured. It is curious that this care of the stomach is looked upon as an extraordinary thing only to be practiced in special circumstances. In our immediate district interest centers in the deciduous fruit crop, and canning and drying are in full swing. It is the growers' year, apricots and peaches bringing $20 to $40 a ton. There is a good crop of apricots and a fairly good one of peaches. As noted last month the grain and hay yield proves light, grain about ½ crop, hay ¼. Beans are doing well. As much of land usually given to beans was given to sugar beets and barley, the crop is much below the average. Buyers estimate a yield in lima beans of but 125,000 bags. There is a hold-over stock of 50,000 bags. The price tendency is therefore still stiff. Sugar beets have been somewhat affected by hot weather, nevertheless California's crop of beet sugar is likely to be double that of last year. Grape growers are also much encouraged in regard to price conditions. Southern California wine makers offer $12 a ton for grapes, a decided advance over last year's prices. California oranges are scarce in Eastern markets, fine navels bringing as high as $6 50 a box. The lemon market is improving with the warm weather; some of latest shipments bringing $3 75 to $4 a box. The orange trees are setting well and promise well for the coming crop. The dried fruit market is not fully opened. There is considerable inquiry, but buyers and sellers are apart in price views, offers are made for carlots of apricots at 82 cents, but holders want 9 to 10 cents. It is believed that peaches will bring 74 to 8 cents. The Eastern raisin market is firm, slight advance reported in price of low grades. The walnut crop will not be as large as last year, but nuts larger and finer. Brokers place the output at 4,500 carloads, mostly soft shelled. Price not yet announced, but supposedly 7 to 74 cents or a fraction higher. The business men of Los Angeles report trade better than anticipated under circumstances. As a rule business is better than last year. Local bank clearances, which register pretty accurately commercial conditions, show for month of June a gain of more than a million dollars over the same month last year. In our district there were only eleven failures in June, with liabilities of $13,-000 and assets of $1,800. In same month last year there were sixteen failures, liabilities $78,000; assets $50,000. Los Angeles Cal., July 11, 1899. Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worst form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich., tells how such a slave was made free. He says: "My wife has been so helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work." This supreme remedy for female diseases quickly curbs nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, headache, backache, faintting and dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cts. Sold by Paul A. Derge, Druggists. ENEMIES OF RATTLERS.

Arab music has been described singing of a prima donna who tured her voice in trying to sit The first part of an athlete's training relates to the care of the stomach. The nourishing quality of his food is considered. The quantity he eats is carefully weighed and measured. It is curious that this care of the stomach is looked upon as an extraordinary thing only to be practiced in special circumstances. It should be every one's care. Life is a struggle for the prize of success. The man who wins must take care of his stomach. It is not lack of energy or exercise that has caused so many a break-down in the race. It is neglect of the stomach. Incessant dull headache aggravated by eating, flatulence, gnawing in the stomach, heartburn, acid eructations, coated tongue, bad taste in the mouth, nervousness, mental depression, sleeplessness; these are only a few of the symptoms of a weak stomach and an enfeebled condition of the digestive and nutritive functions. Not all these symptoms will be experienced at once, but any one of them means danger. "It has made a new man of me," is the constant testimony of those who have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This remarkable remedy has such a perfect control of the stomach, digestive and assimilative organs and blood making glands that it speedily corrects the derangements which weaken them, re-establishes them in healthy working order, so that once more the whole body—blood, brain, nerves and muscles—is nourished, and built up into rugged health. "Golden Medical Discovery" contains no alcohol, whisky or other intoxicant. Its protracted use does not create a craving for stimulants. The dealer's after the dollar and the customer's after the cure. Its the dealer with his eye on the dollar who proposes substitution.

O. address, Box 1275. Anaheim. my4-t ENEMIES OF RATTLERS. Hogs and Black Snakes Kill the Venomous Reptiles With Impunity. The two greatest enemies of the rattlesnake are the black snake and the hog. The rattlesnake is slow and sluggish in movement, while the black snake is intensely rapid. The latter will circle around his foe and with a sudden dart grasp the venomous reptile by the neck, so that it has no chance to use its poisonous fangs, and quickly squeeze it to death. A hog, especially if fat, suffers no danger from the rattlesnake. He will march boldly up to the colled reptile, allow himself to be struck in his jowls once, twice or three times, as the case may be, and will then calmly proceed to swallow the reptile without concern. The reason for the hog's immunity is due to the fact that the blood vessels are so minute and infrequent on his cheeks, where fat is predominant, that they fail to take up the poison and carry it through the porcine system. Hogs have been used in droves to clear some of the islands of the southern seas of poisonous reptiles and have proved successful. By remembering two simple facts any one can distinguish a poisonous serpent from a harmless one. The venomous reptile invariably possesses a triangularly shaped head and a blunt nose, while his tail is correspondingly blunt and stubby. Any snake that tapers smoothly from the middle of its body to the tip of its nose and to the tip of its tail as well, growing slender in a gradual and regular manner, is absolutely devoid of venom.—New York Press. An Epidemic of Diarrhoea. Mr. A. Sanders, writing from Cocoa-nut Grove, Fla., says there has been quite an epidemic of diarrhoea there. He had a severe attack and was cured by four doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. He says he also recommended it to others and they say it is the best medicine they ever used. For sale by Derge. Her Private Punch. The women hurried along Adams Street from the Art institute on their way to the Woman’s Enchre club at Handel hall. “Just run in with me here a minute,” said one. “I’ve got to get me a punch.” The clerk showed a collection of punches that made holes of various shapes. “No.” said the shopper. “I want just a simple, round punch—this size.” And she abstracted a cardboard from her pocket that showed the size of the perforation. “Oh, very well!” said the clerk. “We have it. But it’s not called for very often for private games.” And the punch was brought out and sold promptly. The second woman wondered what her friend wanted of that particular punch, but kept her curiosity to herself. The game was exciting, and, as the friend is a good player, she won eight games. The second woman noticed this particularly. But when the score cards were exhibited the friend had 11 credit marks punched in her score card. The other woman saw then the wherefore of the particular punch they had bought. The friend had won eight games, and then had done a little punching with a private punch. The prizes at these club contests are quite valuable, and the spirit of gambling has become so pronounced among some of the players that they are not above resorting to unfair means to capture them. —Chicago Inter Ocean. Her Evening Gown. It is undeniable that foreign diplomats in Washington frequently find themselves at a loss owing to the novelties presented to them by American customs. Even the language offers difficulties. Only the other day the Guatemalan minister was speaking to some Washington ladies of what he regarded as a remarkable social experience met there at the capital. He had been invited to an afternoon reception. “And do you know,” he said, “the hostess received the guests in a night-gown!” “Good heavens!” replied the ladies so whom this information was addressed. “Surely you are joking, Mr. Minister!” “Not at all, I assure you,” reiterated the diplomat. “It was in her nightdress that we were received—low neck and bare arms!” “Oh, you mean evening dress, do you not, Mr. Minister?” suggested one of the ladies. Henry McLellan, of Hamilton, Ill., is a veteran of the 16th Illinois Infantry. He said: “For more than fifteen years I was a sufferer from gastritis in its worst form. I was much reduced in flesh and strength and unable to attend to business. Finally my wife persuaded me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and to my surprise I began to get better. Three boxes effected a cure that has been permanent. When I began to take the pills I weighed 136 pounds; now I weigh 163. These pills did me more good than all the other medicines I have ever taken.

"Oh, you mean evening dress, do you not, Mr. Minister?" suggested one of the ladies. "Yes, that is what I mean," admitted Senor Arriaga; "low neck and bare arms, just like the costume for the opera or ball." As may be imagined, the laugh was at the minister's expense. In Washington ladies quite commonly wear evening dress when giving afternoon reception. —Boston Herald. Feudalism in Hungary. Inconceivable as the anachronism may seem to the western mind, the hungarian system of Hungary has not yet issued from the feudal form. The Hungarian farmer of today is virtually a serf, bound to his master, the hereditary owner of the soil which the peasant hills, by the tangible tie of personal liability. The Hungarian feudal lord of today is entitled to 50 days' labor from each male adult who dwells on his land. The seignior is at liberty to demand this feudal contribution at whatever time may seem best to him, with the frequent result that the tenant farmer is employed in gathering his master's harvest while his own crops are rotating after a rainfall or are being consumed by an early frost or suffer damage from one or more of the many possible causes which render destructive the slightest delay on the part of the harvester in gathering the fruits of a year's labor. —S.

Mr. Cargill is partly of northern and partly of southern descent, and combines with the high sense of honor of the southern gentleman the business qualifications of a northerner. He is one of the incorporation of the Southern California Fruit Exchange, and during one year was that company's secretary. For three years he shipped his crop through the exchange. The last four years it has been handled by or sold to commission merchants; last season by the Earl Fruit company. Brookshurst is not only a profitable property, but is also a very pleasant place of residence. Situate midway between the ocean and the hills, at atmosphere partakes of both. There is no extreme heat, and mostly fanning by a gentle breeze. No cold wind in what here is called winter, because the cedars shelter. It is no place of idleness. Hard work is being done. That work not only yields a fair return, but is performed under pleasant conditions. Everything is solid and business-like. Mr. Cargill leads a busy life, manages matters skillfully, is straight in all his dealings, and reaps his reward. A ranch like Brookshurst is an apt illustration of what can be done. It is not poesy; it is prose. But most sensible and pleasant prose. Let any one who contemplates engaging in citrus-fruit growing see Brookshurst, and ascertain from Mr. Cargill his experience. Even if he experienced, he still will learn many points worth knowing. —Fruit World. Remarkable Rescue.

She took "some" of one kind of ingredient, "a little" of another and "a small quantity" of something else. To her delight and surprise, the result was a cake of which neither she nor any one else had ever heard. It was an entirely new cake and an extremely delicious one. Prudent of her achievement, the lady gave the cake the beautiful and poetic name of "ashes of angels," and on the very next occasion when the absence of her cook made it possible for her to venture into her kitchen she tried to repeat her success. This event happened in the year 1883, and ever since that date the unfortunate lady has been vainly trying to reproduce her wonderful cake. She has never once succeeded, although she has made at least 200 different varieties of cake and pudding, each one of which has been more deadly than the other. She is still hoping that one of these days she may hit upon her "ashes of angels" again, but as that cake was purely the result of chance the prospect that she will be able to make it a second time is not bright. —W.

Here under the midnight sky We sleep, and we dream in the starlit gleam And wake to the sea bird's cry. When the day comes back and the sails unfurl As blue billows fluff Into foam, We laugh in delight at the hurricane's flight And kiss when the ships come home. -Herbert Randall in Connecticut Magazine. UPSET BY AN UMBRELLA. It Came Very Handy, but Made Three Men Miserable. "Talking about stealing umbrellas," said a New Orleans business man. "I had a whimsical experience last week. One afternoon, when it was raining, I happened to see a very good umbrella in the hall, and—well, I annexed it, or rather I established a protectorate, intending to return it before night to the gentleman in the adjoining office, who I supposed of course, was the owner. "But somehow or other I didn’t, and for several days I dodged him in and out of the building, feeling particularly uncomfortable and guilty. Finally he dropped in and, seeing the umbrella in the front office, walked off with it. I witnessed the incident unobserved from the rear room and naturally said nothing. Next day we encountered in the elevator, and he handed me the umbrella." "Here’s your parachute," he said. "I’ll have to own up that I appropriated it yesterday, but it was raining, and the temptation was too strong for my morals." "I took it rather gingerly and refrained from offering any explanation. That afternoon I set it just outside my door and had the satisfaction of seeing it disappear under the arm of an architect who is a prominent member of my church and generally regarded as a very moral man. Since then he has had pressing business whenever I have into sight, and I infer that he is suffering a duplicate of the pangs recently experienced by myself and my neighbor. The fellow who originally left it hasn’t turned up, so I suppose that he, too, is a member of the robber band." — New Orleans Times-Democrat. "We have sold many different cough remedies, but none has given better satisfaction than Chamberlain’s," says Mr. Charles Holzhauer, Druggist, Newark, N.J. "It is perfectly safe and can be relied upon in all cases of coughs, colds or hoarseness." Sold by Derge. A Bellicose Youth. The boy is still father to the man. A certain prominent political hustler, who, like the British tar in "Pinafore," is ever ready with his fists, showed his pugilistic taste at an early age. The first day he went to school the family were, of course, anxious to know his impression of the new occupation. "Well, Sammy," said his father, "what did you learn on your first day at school?" Straightening up and assuming a bellicose attitude, Sam replied, "Father, I learned I can lick every boy in my class." A few days later his love of pugilism and frequent battles led to his expulsion. He came home that day and surprised his good mother with the remark. "Well, mother, thank the Lord, I have been turned out!" — Cleveland Plain Dealer. Archery In a City's Streets. The military students of Tung-Chou are a conspicuous nuisance. They have a way of using one of the main streets in the city as a convenient spot for practicing archery, and we have been repeatedly obliged to edge up to the extreme edge of the footpath to avoid possible eccentric flights of arrows. Characteristically it never occurs to them to suspend operations for others' safety or convenience, and minor accidents must not be uncommon. A lad was brought to the hospital; the other day who had been struck by an arrow just below the eye as he was edging along the highway. He was not badly hurt and probably regarded his injury as incidental to the ordinary risks of travel on city streets. — North China Herald. Save It All.

According to Cornevin it was more largely grown in France in former times than at present, being used for feeding sheep; it has been neglected for this purpose of late years, on account of its poisonous qualities. Langethal considers that it is of small value as green forage, on account of the hardness of its stems, but that the large amount of seeds produced, which are also fed to stock, renders it a valuable crop. Soils.—Werner states that on gravelly and marly soil the Small Blue Lupin gives better results than the Yellow Lupin. It is fairly tolerant of limy soils in California, but less so than the varieties of L. pilosus. Langethal notes that it grows very well on a stiff and even clayey soil which is sufficiently broken up by repeated plowing; in this respect it is superior to the Yellow Lupin. Werner states that the seeds of this species loose the power of germination more rapidly than those of L. luteus, but they are easier to collect, not falling out of the pods as readily as they do in that species. Experiments at Berkeley.—At first this gave promise of being the species best adapted for green-manuring in middle California; it germinates readily, and makes an excellent stand in our calcareous, blackish adobe soil, is not affected by frost and is a rapid and robust grower. It does not, however, branch well from the base, and fails to rot quickly and thoroughly after plowing under. During the present season it has been badly affected by a root-rot, which has in some rows destroyed from 50 to 75 per cent of the plants, especially in the late-sown plots. Chino Valley.—Mr. Mills reports for 1897-98 that at the Southern California Station it came up in good season after planting, and promised to make a good growth; it was badly damaged, however, first by hares, then by the heavy frosts of March 23rd, and finally by root-rot. This species early produces a very long tap-root in the Pomona soil. For the season of 1898-99 Mr. Mills reports that although the plants were frozen stiff, clear to the ground, by the heavy frost of February 6th, they showed no bad effects after thawing out. He considers that if the ravages of root-rot can be successfully combated by treating the seed or by any other means, this species will be pre-eminently the best for the uncertain seasons of Southern California.

The Outlook gives an interesting story of the Spanish administration, when, during our civil war, the Emperor Napoleon formed the ingenious plan of uniting European nations in a change of the international law governing blockades. The admiralty law of the world at present extends the jurisdiction of any nation for one marine league from its shores. If, therefore, any blockade runner could get within three miles of Jamaica, Cuba or Porto Rico, he was safe from any interference from our blocking fleet. Napoleon proposed that, instead of one league, the limit of local sovereignty should be extended to three leagues from shore, and he persuaded the Spanish minister to come into his plan. Such an extension of neutral limits would have greatly hindered the operations of our blockading fleets. All the negotiations were conducted with great secrecy, but orders were sent from Spain to the West Indies, instructing authorities there to extend threefold the range of their domination over the sea. These orders had already gone when Horatio Perry, the American secretary of legislation, got wind of the treachery of our ally. Mr. Perry told his wife. She told the Duchess of Montpensier, who hated Louis Napoleon, and the duchess told her sister, the Spanish queen. Then the queen sent for Mr. Perry and asked what it was all about. “You are injuring your best friends,” said he after explaining the matter, “at the solicitation of this intrigator whom you have reason to believe is your enemy.” The queen regent sent for her prime minister and interrogated him. He replied that her majesty had signed the Woman Suffrage In Colorado. “Colorado politicians will almost to a man in private conversation declare that woman suffrage is a failure and a force in our state, but not one of them has the nerve to say so over his own signature in the newspapers,” said Mr. F. R. Graham, a leading business man of Durango, Colo. “As I do not aspire to office, there is no reason for timidity on my part, and I unhesitatingly declare that the experiment of giving the ballot to women in Colorado has been as rank a piece of foolishness as any people ever inflicted upon themselves. It has done a very little good perhaps, but a great deal more of harm, and, though it may never be repealed, there is no possibility of good coming out of it. The women claim that their presence has made the elections cleaner, but I contend that they appropriate credit that does not belong to them, for, while the elections are better conducted than formerly, the improvement is due to the Australian system and not to the women. “The presence of women in conventions and political meetings is to my mind degrading to them. Surrounded by a lot of coarse men whom they would not elevate or refine in a lifetime, they are entirely out of their element. Their vote in no way conduces to better government than if they were without the franchise, for they vote on sentiment or follow the lead of their husbands, and so the only result is to increase the number of voters. There are thousands of good women in the state who are tired of the business and very much regret that the ballot was ever conferred on their sex.”—Washington Post. The Women of Clinton. The dinner and luncheon givers of Clinton, Ia., are according to a woman who has just returned from a visit to that place, famous for the originality and ingenuity of their entertainments. It is told of one of them that she went to a Chicago caterer not long ago to get some new ideas for luncheon service. The man suggested several, which were promptly refused as having been used already either by herself or by friends at home. Finally the caterer asked, Madam, are you from Clinton, Ia?” “Yes,” she replied wonderingly. “Then I have nothing for you. The Clinton ladies teach me more than I can teach them.” A salad which this New York woman had served to her at Clinton was of cucumbers and tomatoes. A small, whole, hothouse cucumber is allowed to each person. Slice off the uppermost side of the cucumber and remove the inside. Take the best bits of the pulp and mix with an equal amount of tomato bits, dressing the mixture with a French dressing. Return this to the cucumber, put on the lid and serve each on a leaf lettuce with a cheese ball. The cheese ball may be of cream cheese or of American cheese, grated and mixed with chopped parsley, and a little melted butter before being made into balls—the size of butter balls.—New York Post.

National Importance THE SUN Alone Contains Both. Horatio Perry, the American secretary of legation, got wind of the treachery of our ally. Mr. Perry told his wife. She told the Duchess of Montpensier, who hated Louis Napoleon, and the duchess told her sister, the Spanish queen. Then the queen sent for Mr. Perry and asked what it was all about. "You are injuring your best friends," said he after explaining the matter, "at the solicitation of this intriguer whom you have reason to believe is your enemy." The queen regent sent for her prime minister and interrogated him. He replied that her majesty had signed the order on such a day. "But no one told me what it meant," said Queen Isabella. "No one told me that this is a heavy blow to my American allies." No one had told her! The minister was sorry if her majesty disliked it, but it was too late to help it. Why was it too late? Because a steamer had gone to the West Indian fleet with the orders which changed one league to three. Then said Isabella, "It is not too late for me to accept your resignations." But the senator did not want to resign, and the other senores dons did not want to resign. So they found a fast steamer to take out orders rescinding the other orders, and the blockade was maintained for the next year. Easter Cards.
