THE HOUSEHOLD-"Supplement.

 

 

For the Household.
LIFl‘S MUSI 0’.

 

BY Er. San

Each life is like a wondrous melody
0! short, or’long;

A wailing cry at ﬁrst and then a dirge
Closes li'e's song.

Sometimes so long drawn out and sorrowful
We Wish no more;

Sometimes one short, sweet, perfect strain
And life is o’er.

“When hearts are young and happy, hope will sing
Light on her way,

Entrancing airs carolled in s'lvery tone
The live-long day.

As wiser. deeper, holler thoughts arise
Grand anthems roll,

Chorus of melody in v lume comes
Thrilling the soul.

‘But discards spoil the harmony ere long,
A grating jar;

Life’s toil and trouble murmur through the song,
Its beauties mar.

Then minor chords in mournful cadence wall
A low. sad strain;
in plaintive quavers softly dies away
Life’s last refrain.
H.—

THE FASHIONS.

 

There is a tendency to abandon black,
which has been the prevalent color of
street and church dresses and the almost
universal wear of middle-aged and elderly
ladies. in favor of other hues, so that the
sunny side of the Avenue on a bright after-
noon no longer looks like afuneral pro-
-cessien. The very pronounced plaids,
the brilliant reds, the browns and greens,
seem to reproduce on our streets the
autumnal tints of forest and glade. Bon-
nets and hats are gayer than ever before;
and looking over the vast throng that
ﬁlled the Campus and the avenues leading
from it on “ German Day,” from a balcony
of the City Hall, one could not help noting
the resemblance to a drift of autumn;
leaves, brightness and darkness so alter-'

Inated.

Two most excellent dress materials are
Henrietta cloth and serge. Both will wear
a long time; both can be put in the wash.
tub and by the use of soap bark come out
“ as good as new.” A good quality of the
former can be got for 85 cents to a dollar,
and of the latter for 75 cents. The serge is
48 inches wide; it is suitable Ior wear the
year round, nice for traveling dresses, is
not affected by dampness or rain, and
looks well in its last days. Camel’s hair is

.a beautiful goods, more especially for
winter wear. It is more expensive and

qualities; a beautiful grade can be bought
for $1 40, 48 inches wide. The long,
somewhat silvery hairs on its surface give
it its name; it is reversible, and in the
heavier grades is much used for wraps for
elderly ladies, particularly those who wear
mourning or conﬁne themselves to black.
These cloaks are cut as long coats, mant'es,
or wraps, and lined with silk, with a ﬂan-
nel interlining; and are also made up with
fur linings, sometimes with quilted satin
for those who care more for comfort than
added size. ,

Velvet is popular trimming for these
materials. A handsome Henrietta cloth
has a straight, square drapery open on the
right side showing the underskirt, which
is crossed horizontally by rows of velvet
ribbon or braid. The corsage is short on
the hips and pointed before and back; the
right side is folded over on the left from
the shoulder to a point past the centre on
the bottom of the waist, where it fastens
under a rosette which also fastens a pointed
velvet belt. Three folds are laid on this
side (the right) which are wide on the
shoulder and taper to a point at the waist
line. The plain left side is 'crossed by
three sloping bands of velvet, one starting
from the shoulder seem, the other two
from points on the armhole. Sleeves are
close and high, with velvet bands put on
in cuff shape, fastened under bows on the
inner arm seam. Small crochet buttons
are often close together on the inner seam
of the sleeve, half way itslength from wrist
to elbow. Still another velvet—trimmed
dress has a broad band of velvet across the
foot of the front and side breadths, the're-
mainder of the skirt being laid in full
close pleats. The front of the corsage is
very elaborate. A vest of pleated surah is
set in down the centre, which hooks under
velvet fronts set in at the shoulder extend-
$th the armhole, and coming nearly to-

r at a point well below the bush-on

Qe’front edge of these pieces is laid a line
of passementerie, or any trimming pre-
ferred. From the under arm seams tome
diagonal upward turning folds of the dress
material (which must be mounted on a
ﬁrm lining and stiffened by whalebones)
which hook in front under small bows of
velvet ribbon. On a slender ﬁgure this
style is very pleasing, but every detail
must be most carefully ﬁnished to give the
costume any style whatever.

Bonnets and toques are small and “ close
reef ,” as sailors say. They are trimmed
so as to present a very narrow, perpendic-

 

anuch heavier, but of splendid wearing

ular appearance, which on a side view sag.

 

 

gests a broadside view of a double-humped
camel. A bird stands (n its head at the
front or back, and wings and long loops of
ribbon are made to stand perfectly upright.
Black and gold is a favorite combination.
There are gilt braids and gold laces and
passementeries which make up beautifully
with black or brown velvet. In trimming
toques, the sides are often covered with
folds of velvet, which is then pulled up
full and high, in front and back, support-
ing the tips or wings which form the
ornament. The shapes of some of these
head coverings would make a parrot
laugh. But we shall wear them and call
them “sweet,” and it is a comfort to know
they look better on the head than oﬁ. Hats
are immense. The “cocked hats” of our
ancestors are nowhere, these have far more
angles than the most daring of Continen-
tal beaux would venture upon. The
trimmings are almost entirely of ostrich
tips and half length p'umes, a great num-
b.r being used. Some are plain felt, others
beaver or long-napped felt, others again
have ﬁne Astrachan borders. The toque,
however, is the universal headgear, as it
can be worn almost anywhere. One rather
pretty hat seen at a fashionaile shop was
of felt, somewhat like 9. Salvation Army
bonnet in shape; velvet bound, and with
Prince of Wales feathers at the back erect
like a sail, while all the crown was over-
laid with longer plumes falling toward the
front.

 

WOMAN'S WORK IN PUBLIC.

I was interested, as I always am, in the
discussion of the expediency of women’s
voting, by the Co’um'oia Club’s lady mem-
bers. I am seeking for light on that sub.
ject. I am always looking for something
that I never get. I can not yet see where
the country would be. beneﬁtted by giving
the suffrage to women; not that i think
them any more inclipable than men.
There are many noble, sensible women
who are interested in politics, who read
and are informed as much as the news-
papers can inform them, whose vote would
be for good no doubt; but there are alarger
proportion who do not read the political
questions of the day, enough to offset all
the valuable ones several times over. I
think I may safely say that more than one
half of the women would vote just as
father, brother or husband voted. I know
the Prohibitionists feel sure of almost every
woman’s vote". I am very much afraid

they would be disappointed; I know many

2 THE HOUSEHOLD.

 

good Christian women who feel just as
their husbands feel toward that party. If
women are all prohibitionists why are
there not more in the W. C. T. U. ranks?

My idea on this question is that it would
be of far greater beneﬁt if suffrage were
limited to those who could read and write,
and requiring all foreigners to be residents
some years instead of months and be
owners of real estate; then we could feel
sure they had a fraternal interest in the
welfare of our country, and their country
also by adoption.

And another thing about women’s vot-
ing: Just as soon as they have the ballot
there is a class of them who would not to
able to “ rest well” unless they could have
some eﬂice. We all know the woman
who wishes to manage all her neighbors’
affairs and whose judgment she thinks
indispensable to the success of any under-
taking in the church or community.

As long as women remain single I would
deny them no place or position wh‘ch they
would and could ﬁll creditably, but when
a woman marries and little immortal souls
are given into her care, she having chosen
her work with her eyes open, should keep
to that work until it is ﬁnished. Nowoman’
can do very much public work and do her
home work well at the same time. And

‘ will not God require an account of how
mothers have performed the tasks he gave
them to train and educate the little ones
for their good and His glory? Can a
woman leave the care and training of these
little souls to another persen and so rid
herself of her responsibility? I think not.

To illustrate my meaning clearly I will
tell you of awoman in a town where I
once lived, who was one of the most
earnest workers in the temperance move
me nt following the crusade. Her children
were all boys. She talked and prayed for
the abolislment of the saloons and the
destruction of alcohol in every form; she
was always present at the meetings, after-
noon and evening; she was so interested
and anxious to do all in her power to fur
ther the goed cause. Where were the
children? She took the smallest one with
her and many times the elder one, but he
would slip out when the people were com-
ing in pretty fast; the little one would stay
as long as he could, then be we uld slip out
into the street; the mother’s place was en
the platform, so she could not keep the
children in their seats. The little one
would run up and down the street amusing
himself as best he could until too tired and
sleepy, then he weuld climb up on a dry
goods box nearthe doorwhere the meeting
was held, and when the meeting was out
he would be found there fast asleep. The
boy a few years older was sperdir g his
evening in a saloon where there was music,
games, and lots of fun, and it was said that
extra pains were taken to make the evenings
pleasant to the twelve year old boy. Was
the platform the place for that mo‘. her?
She with others rescued several old topers
and they stayed rescued from three to six
months. and some a year. I cannot remem-
ber one who did not go back to his cups.

patrons of the saloons and have been for
many years.

If a woman chooses to marry, her duty
is to her home and family ﬁrst. Can a
woman who has a family of children per-
form all the duties of her home and public
work at the same time and do both well?

I am yet to he ccnvinced that a Wt man’s
inﬂuence is not far greater and very much
farther reaching if she teaches and leads
her children up to a noble man and
womanhood, than the casting of a single
ballot on election day. But you say she
can do both; yes, if she limits her public
work to voting; but there are many women
who like ofﬁce so much they would be
willing to sit on jury over a dog ﬁght
rather than nothing. Perhaps you think I
am very severe on my own sex. I do not
mean to be; but I do dread to have women
brought to the front to make themselves
objects of pity.e~r centempt. And for a
while one woman’s mistakes would be a
reproach to them all in the minds of those
who oppose suffrage to woman. If it is
for the country’s good we can easily bear
even that reproach; but is it? I confessI
do not know.

I do know one thing, and that is that I
strongly object to universal suffrage;
and I think it high time the attention of
those in authority was given to remedying
come glaring defects. I will close by asking
one question. Where is there a nobler
work given to a human being than the
rearing of a good noble man or woman,
one whose aim in life isto do some worthy
work, to do good, instead of looking to the
getting of good, and to leave the world
better because they have lived in it? Is
this not every mother’s privilege yea, her

duty? M. E. H.

“WHIP ME IF YOU Dina!"

 

That’s what a large girl, some thirteen
or fourteen years old, said to me in school
one day over ﬁfty years ago, when I pre-
pared to punish her for some misdemeanor.
She was the daughter of a Baptist clergy-
man who sent ﬁve children to my school,
obliging me to travel two miles every
morning and evening for ﬁfteen days,
boarding out my time there. ‘ '
The schoolhe use was built in the edge of
the woods, and just back of it was a lar
tamarack swamp, where the children d“
to get gum, which they got in the habit f’
chewing in school to such an extent that:
I was eompe led to forbid its use under
severe penalties. One day after the chil-
dren had been in the swamp and secured
a large quantity of gum, I observed this
girl, who was seated with her back towards
me, chewing gum asI thought, and call—
ing her by name asked her if she was
chewing gum. “ No sir,” said she, at the
same time spitting something into her
hand. Another girl sitting near her
assured me she had been chewing gum,
so I called the offender out and asked her
what she had in her hand. “Not! ing,” said
she, “Then open it and let me see,” said
I . “ Shan't do it,” was the reply. “ Then

   
  

 

But that mother’s boys are proﬁtable J

“ Whip me if you dare” was the retort. I
dared, of course, and gave her a triﬂing
switch with a small birch whip, when she
fell to the ﬂoor like a log. Her older
brother sprang to his feet and said “ ——-—
has fainted away, she always faints when
pap licks her.” “ Well ” said I, “ the hair
of a dog will cure the bite of a dog,’_’ and
so I sailed in and gave her a right smart
switching, as she lay on the ﬂoor. This-
revived her suddenly, and springing to her
feet like an enraged tiger, she thrust the
hand in which she held the soft balsam
right into my face, covering it all over
with the sticky stuff, making me a laughing:
stock for the whole school, but I “didn't
laugh wortha cent” but then punished
her in earnest, as I had previously merely
given her “love taps.” I gave her such a
punishment that she begged for mercy, and
promised to be a good girl in future, and
after that a more obedient pupil there was
not in school.

In after life, when she became a woman,
she wrote me that whipping was the best
thing that ever happened to her.

Now let me ask those sisters of the
HOUSEHOLD who decry corporal punish-
ment, and claim that love and moral
suasion are all powerful to subdue most
rebellious natures, what effect would mild
means have had in this case? Might just
aswell use love and moral suasion on a

pine stump. Gnaxnm.

OUR “ CORNERS."

At a teachers’ institute, years ago, Ire~-
member one of the instructors told us that
when anything kept repeating itself over
and over in our minds it was fora pur-
pose and we should heed the lesson that it.
was trying to teach. Many times I have
thought of it when some senseless little
couplet has made life, for a day, almost a
burden, coming to me perhaps with my-
ﬁrst waking thought and crowding out
everything with its little rhy thmical jingle
until Ihave doubted Prof. Sill’s statement
as to the lesson embodied therein. ‘
Today a bit of a song has been singing
itself over and over in my brain;

“ We may shine,

You in y: ur little corner
And 1 .n mine."

Only a fragment frem the Kindergarten

school at Bay View where the 50 or 60 little
" 'ones went through all the manual so per-

fectly that the eyes of many of the adult
spectators were ﬁlled with tears while
their faces were wreathed with smiles be-
cause it was all so "cute.” And nowI
am thinking how much truth there is in
that refrain, and how wisely it is ordered
t‘eat we do not all occupy the same “cor-
ner” and that we are not all made after the
same pattern, mentally or physically.

“ Not by one gauge of ﬁtness or unﬁtness
Ought we to Judge of mank'nd, more than

0
Asks of each plant the self-s me bloom as
witness . ~
Of equal sunshine poured upon its sod."

‘ We can also‘ be thankful that, if by

reason of talent or perseverenoe we can
ﬁll all the angle, it will expand according

own. When we are envying some bright,
talented person it is a comfort to feel that,

after all, they are only occupying their in-_

dividual niche; and ours, be it ever so
humble, isall our own and we must shine
in our cwn way and by our own light.

Because I cannot sing like a Patti or
lecture like Miss Willard, let me not give
up in despair but comfort myself with my
own small rourd of duties and pleasures,
remembering that in my little corner I
may shine although mine in the compari-
son he only a feeble rush light to the
grand electric eﬁulgence.

Then how monottrous everything would
be if we could all shine alike. BetW(en
the large fruit in tie basket lht re is room
for much that is smaller as “chinking,”
and who would not rather be a peach than
apumpkin, althcugh the latter occupies
the larger space and is noticeable from
greater distance.

Then, too, the Good Father who heeds
even the sparrow’s fall will as surely re-
cognize our efforts and help us according
to our needs as though instead of a still
small voice there was a ﬂourish of trum-
pets. So let us be content to shine

A LITTIE COOKING TALK.

 

Each week as I have read the HOUSE-
HOLD I have the ught “ I want to say some-
thing on that subject,” but the time would
ﬂy by and nothing would be written.

The cold weather inspires me to say
something concerning breakfast. We all
crave Et mething warm as the chilly morn-

ings ccme, and so I wish to say aword
about this important meal of the day, for
it is necessary that the ﬁrst meal should be
one that puts the body in shape for the
day’s work“ Personally I like fruit, and

no farmer need be without that, as it is

not half the luxury, or at least should not
be, to you, that is to many a city dweller
who has it every morning. I want after
the fruit a dirh of graham mush or corn,
as I do not like oatmeal, and a roll or muf-
ﬁn suits me better than pancakes. I like
this varied occasionally by a bit of steak, a
chop or a bit of salt pork fried to a turn;
if you are fortunate enough to have cream
to pour over it you have a dish ﬁt fora
king; a perfectly boiled or baked potato
is the proper accr mpaniment. Such a
breakfast is not difﬁcult to get nor is it
elaborate, and yet how ma' y of the women
of your acquaintance would serve it cooked
as it should be.

It sorely tries my patience to see good
materials spoiled in the cooking. Too
often it is the articles of food that are most
frequently prepared that are the worst. It
is not lack of knowledge many times I be-
lieve, or need not be that, but is lack of
thought and a desire to hurry through the
work that must be done. This is not
strange when we remember that the tired
woman must prepare the meals three times
each day, sometimes however it could be
avoided by putting into the hands of a
daughter; possibly she might let something
burn or scorch the meat and. the po’atoes

 

might be undore, but then perhaps you
did the same when you began and she will
be sorry for all mistakes, so have pa fence
and keep her at it even though it be some
days or wet ks before she can bake an oven-
ful of bread without burning two (r three
loaves because she forgot it. If cooking is
worth doing at all it is worth doing well,
and if mother is careless daughter is quite
likely to be also; she may it is true show
her carelessness in a different way and
about different things, but it will come out.

A gentleman of my acquaintance insists
that if you once have a dish perfect
you can always have that dish perfect. I
know that most women protest that this is
not so and I too believe that it could not
be in eve ry case, lut it might more often
prove the rule if more care was taken.
You can know, if you wish, just how
much of each ingredient was used, and by
purchasing the same brand of ﬂour and
other materials be reasonably certain of
getting the same grade; you can have
the same temperature if you are exacting
enough, and this one item has much to do
with the cooking of most foods.

You may say, “ I don’t believe you
know much about cooking,” and that is
Very true, but I do know that a young and
inexperienced girl who chooses simple
recipes, with deﬁnite directions, can by
following them exactly produce fairly
good food; if this is possible a woman with
experience should with tried recipes be
able to do better. It is the old lesson of
doing each thing exactly as it should be
done that so many of our housewives need;
and if all things cannot be done, and I
know it often seems impossible to do them
all properly, then do only those things
that are absolutely necessary and do them
perfectly. Teach your girls in this way.
I have grown to it after many lessons and
precept upon precept, until if I lay any
thing down as‘ ﬁnished when not com-
pleted as it should be, I go and pick it up
and ﬁnish it wi h the words on my lips,
“What is worth doing at all, is worth
doing well.” JEANNE ALLISON.

W
YELLOWSTONE PARK.

 

Monday morning, August 4th, we took
the train for Cinnabar. Our route was
through mountain deﬁles, constantly rising.
A few mountain hamlets are passed on the
way; nearing Cinnabar, a double wall or
rock up the mountain side is pointed out,
the soil between having been washed out.
This is namtd the “ Devil’s Slide,” and is
the forttaste of many euphonious titles ex-
pressive of ﬁre and brimstone with a loca‘
tion and governor. The ride from Cinna-
bar to Mammoth Hot Springs hotel is in
comfortable coaches, drawn by four or six
horses; distance seven miles, during which
an ascent of 2,000 feet is made. The road
ﬁrst winds along the Gardiner river, a
rapid, brawling mountain stream, but
leaves it two miles before you reach the
hr tel. In this distance you rise 800 feet.

The hotel is situated on a plain in a dc-
pression in the mountains, is 400 feet long;
three to {our stories high and accommodates
350 to 400 gues' s.

Hot water from the

 

 

Springs supplies the baths, and a mountain
spring supplies cold water and ﬁre proteo
tion. The 'Mammoth Hot Springs are

ituated near the hotel, and rise in a series
of uneven terraces from the plain, in a
ravine of the mountains; rising 300 feet and
extending back two miles. They are two
miles from Gardiner river, but eviirnoe of
their deposit or formation shows all along
the way. These terraces are all made up.
of the deposit of these springs, and consist
of a hard crust, layer on layer, generally
white, but on the borders, sides and hot-
toms of many of the springs streaked and
shaded with the most brilliant colors; yet
low from sulphur to cream, red from
scarlet to rose; with various sapphire and
violet tints. The water is perfectlyr trans-
parent, in scme springs about right in
heat for a Chinaman’s “washce washee,”
to away above boiling heat in others, and
the springs vary in size from a minute jet to
one 40 or 50 feet in diameter. Some of the
terraces are ﬁve or six feet high, other!
forty or ﬁfty. Some extend back in 8.
wide plateau, others are only a few feet
wide, and the same terrace will be broken
in height and width. Some of the springs
simmer in pulsations like breathing, others
boil furiously with a great and constant
overﬂow. The water ﬁnds an escape under
ground, only showing for about 200 rods,
where it empties into Gardiner river under =
the name of Boiling river. Enough water
in heat and quantity empties to raise the
temperature of Gardiner river. On the
plain near the foot of the terrace is an we

tinct cone, formed of overlapping layers of
deposit, evidently built by overﬂowing
waters which have at last closed up the

oriﬁce. It is 52 feet high, and ‘20 feet in
diameter, and known as Liberty Cap. An-
other like this, but smaller, leans against
the ﬁrst terrace, and is called the Devil‘s
Thumb. The form of the terraces is
constantly changing by the deposit. Any
article of wood or iron placed in the over
ﬂow is in a few days covered with a
beautiful white incrustation.

Different parts of the formation are called
by different names, as Jupiter and Minerva
terraces; Pulpit or Narrow Gauge, etc. A
number of deep holes or basins are located
in the plain, evidently the site of extinct
springs. It is noticed that the deposit
takes place inside well as outside, thus in
time ﬁlling the oriﬁce, when action must
cease at that place. In passing over this
formation the hollow echoes under your
feet suggest unpleasant possibilities, but
one thinks little of this at the time, so ab
sorbing are the wonders around. .

Tuesday morning, August 51h, the
coaches were ordered, to commence the

' tour of the park. Parties of ﬁve or seven

desirous of traveling together were assig lied
to cc aches accommodating such numbers, ‘
but as we were only two, we were assigned
to a comfortable doublecarriage drawn by J
a ﬁne pair of horses; a Mr. Sharpe, also of
Michigan, occupying the front seat with
the driver. This arrangement continued
through the tour; and as we had an ex.
ceptionally intelligent and obliging driver
we had many excellent Opportunities jar
extra sight-seeing. Our coachman would

often drive out of the road to points of in-
terest, which we would otherwise have lost.
Mr. Sharp left us at the end of the ﬁrst
day, hurrying forward on horseback to
gain one stage, as his time was limited.
Four miles south of the Hot Springs, in
a rugged pass between Bunsen’s Peak and
Terrace mountain, we pass through the
"Golden Gate." It is a roadway blasted
out of the solid wall in part, and partly
built on trestle work. A square column
carved from the rock left on the river
- side, suggests the name of “gate,” and
the bright yellow moss growing over the
rocks makes the name “Golden” appro-
priate. A mountain stream called Rustic
Falls comes dashing over the rocks at the
end, falling some sixty feet. This mile of
road is said to have cost $14,000. The
drive further on, through Swan Lake
basin, is like a western prairie hemmed in
by mountains 10,000 to 11,000 feet in
height at various points. ~Twelve miles
'south of the Springs we come to “Obsidian
Eliﬁ‘s,” or the great volcanic glass moun-
tain. The roadway passes along its base
for 1,000 feet, the glistening columns 250
feet high rising above the road, while on
ﬁre other side lies Beaver Lake. Blasting
powder could not be used on glass, so it
was shivered by building great ﬁres against
the blocks and then dashing water on
‘them. It isthe only piece of glass road
in the wcrld. Several dams, made by
beavers in the lake, give the name to this
ﬂeet of water. Further on we come
to “Roaring Mountain,” so called from
the roar of escaping gas from the many
ﬁssures on its rocky sides; it also throws out
steam and hot water continually. Passing
over the divide we reach the “Norris
Geyser Basin,” 22 miles from the Hot
Springs, where dinner is served. Passen-
gers usually walk on in advance of the
coaches to get a ﬁrst view of the geysers, a
mile further on. This basin covers an
area of six square miles, and of course the
tourist sees but a small portion of the
whole, but the points of greatest interest
are accessible.

I will here state the points of difference
in designating these hot springs. Those
that simply pulsate or simmer are called
“pools;” those that b)il and overﬂow are
“springs;” while those that eleVate their
water in jets of a greater or less force are
“geysers.” As you approach the plain and
hear the rumblings, the hiss of escaping
steam, and see the vapor rising you might
think a great manufacturing town was
there, but the odor is not such as is us -al
to such places. In many places great care
should be taken; in others the paths are
safe. The “ Steam Vent" is a wonder of
this place, the hissing and roaring being
continuous, and a great volume of steam
issuing with furious force. There are here
the "Monarch,” ” Black Growler,” “ Con-
stant ” and many other geysers that play at

Jukrvals of hours or days, and throw
volumes of water from 25 to 150 feet high.
The crater of the Monarch is twenty feet
long and three feet wide. Eruptions occur
about once in twelve hours; are of such
force and amount as to ﬂood the level all

.to say nothing of the amount of walking

tourist leaves the carriage to visit the
“Gibbon Paint Pots.” These are great
openings in the formation, where instead of
water boiling, there is a pasty, thick mat-
ter, which boils with the ” plop" of slak-
ing lime, but at each opening discloses
rings of the most brilliant hues of red, yel-
low and violet. On we go, through Gib
bon Canyon, crossing and recrossing the
river of that name, now fording it, again
crossing on a bridge, all along seeing the
escaping vipor of the springs, until we
come to Gibbon Falls, where the water
tumbles in a series of steep cascades,
divided by a rocky ledge, from a height of
eighty feet. Then for several miles the
road passes over a rolling country, thinly
wooded with ﬁr and pine, then by a gentle
descent into the valley of the Firehole
river, whose two forks, with the Gibbon,
form the Madison, one of the sources of
the Missouri. Here is located the hotel of
the Lower Geyser Basin, and rest ises-
pecially grateful after a ride of 42 miles,

done in exploring the Norris and Middle
Geyser basins. Twelve miles further south
you reach Upper Geyser Basin. Here are
a great variety of geysers, paint pots, and
pools. The general elevation is about 7,500
feet above sea level. In this valley of 30-
to 40 square miles are about 700 hot springs
and geysers. In the Middle Geyser basin
is located the “ Excelsior Geyser,” the
largest in the park. Its crater is 330 by
200 feet in size, the water of a deep blue
tint, a cloud of steam constantly rising
from its agitated surface. The water is 25
or 30 feet below the surface, and can only
beseeu when the wind blows the steam
aside. This was very active for some
years, then was quiet again, but for two
years has been intensely active;~ often play-
ing once in two hours. The ﬁrst motion
lifts the water in the basin bodily upward,
ﬂooding the whole place, then jets of water,
steam and sometimes rocks are thrown up
with tremendous force. lts crater is en-
larging owing to its terriﬁc eruptions. It
is thought it will undermine Turquoise
Spring, a beautiful pool of water a little
distance away. Prismatic Lake, a sheet of
water of sapphire hue, with formations of
rainbow tints, which lies 500 feet as ay, is
also threatened by this giant geyser. The
rush and roar, the hissing and clouds of
steam, with the sulphurous smell arising
from this basin, have given it the expressive
name of “Hell’s Half-acre.” At each
eruption the Firehole river is raised several
inches, and its temperature perceptibly in-

creased. A. L. L.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

WHEN a stove is cracked, a cement may
be made of wood-ashes and salt, in equal
proportions, mixed to a paste with cold
water. Fill the cracks with this when the
stove is cool, and it will soon harden.

SOME people are afraid to eat fruit in
summer, fearing it will produce diarrhoea
and other disorders of the kind. But it is

fruit is really produced by meat. In hot
weather meat putriﬁes rapidly and during
this process poisonous alkaloids are formed ,
which, cause the diarrhoea. Ripe fruit is
a healthful diet, but it must be ripe and
fresh.

 

THE housekeeper who knows how vexa-
tious it is not to have knives, spoons and
forks enough “ to go round ” and who
envies those who never have to worry about
such small but exasperating shortcomings,
may be relieved to know that the butler
of the White House has but four dozen
of solid silver knives, forks and spoons in
his pantry; and that when the President of
the United States gives a dinner party two
of the ﬁfty guests are supplied with
plated ware. The “ gold spoons” which
cost Martin Van Buren his re -elec‘ion were
found to he only plated with gold, and the
coat of precious metal began to wear off in
President Arthur’s time, so that he had
them re-plated.

 

IN reconstructing an old house fora new
wife, a labor-saving convenience was in-
troduced into the dining-room which saved
the housekeeper a good many trips up and
down cellar. There was a closed cupboard
at one end of the diningrocm. A carpen-
ter removed a part of the ﬂooring and
ﬁtted a set of ﬁve shelves, which were at-
tached to the cupboard by a rope running
over a pulley, thus allowing the shelves to
be lowered into the cellar and drawn up
at pleasure. The rope is secured to a hook.
When the table is to be cleared, anything
which should go into the cellar is easily
put there simply by lowering the shelves.
When the cook goes down cellar for meat,
vegetables, etc., it is no trouble to put the
butter, milk, pickles, or anything needed
in the dining-room upon this miniature
dumb waiter, to be drawn up at the proper
time. And on these hanging shelves any—
thing is safe from mice or cats. \
