"In that country onco known as the 'Great American Desert,' embracing a portion of Tovas and Arizona, there arc no odors," said a citizen of Dallas to a reporter. "There luscious grapes and many other fruits grow, especially near cross-timber country, but there is no perfume; wild flowers have no smell and carcasses of dead animals, which in dry seabons are very plentiful, emit no odor. It was always supposed tO'bo a treeless plain, upon which no plant could grow or breathing thing could live, buta large part of it is now successfully cultivated, and but for the rarity of the atmosphere, causing the peculiarity I havo named, and the mirages, which are even more perfect than in the desert of Sahara, no one would look upou it as a barren country now. Another singular feature com mon to the desert land is that objects at a great dlstunee appear greatly mag nified. A fow scraggy mosquito bushes will look liko a noblo forest. Stakes driven into the ground will seem liko telegraph poles." Dallas (Tex.) News, AMERICA'S OKEATJJST SEED GKOW I3KS. Thirty years ago when the Salzers were conducting in a small but profit able way, a market garden and green 3iou.se business in La Crosse, Wis., they little dreamed that within a third of a century they would be the leaders in the seed-growing and soed-selling industry of America. The secret of xliis phenomenal success was quality, liberality, push. Nothing in the world advertises itself quicker and better, and more lasting than quality and to the superior merit ot Salter's northern grown seeds; to their unusual life and vigor and to their absolute surety of growth, in conjunction with their great producing qualities and this coupled with the great liberality of the firm in the way of rare and many extras to each order and push back of all, has placed the firm in the van and en titles them to the proud distinction of America's greatest seed growers! The production of rare vegetable sorts and new farm seeds has long been a great specialty with this company, owning and operating many thousands of acres of land. Their great eight hundred acre Jrial farm in South Da kota was visited by thousands inter ested in higher farming, and all rail roads gave half-fare rate within the state to any wishing to see the farm. The Salzers pay great nttcntion to the new grasses, clovers and fodder plants", and their catalogue contains 4 he largest list of rare farm seeds found in America. A strong point of tbe John A. Salzev Beed Co. is that they keep large stocks of everything in the seed line on hand, f-o that a customer ordering of them is always sure of getting what ho or ders. A slight idea of the magnitude of this firm's business can be gathered that they issue probably the largest num berof cataloguesofanyAmerican firm; that they use over $00,000 postage a year, employ in the packing and dis tributing of their seeds upwards ot Bix hundred hands and require for their distributing warehouse over ten acres of floor room. A five cent postage stamp sent to tho John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., will bring you their great catalogue. 7iwt''c5 "Tin WoocUm Hen." Tho illustration shown herewith lsBinnl!

Consommes and any soups except rich, thick broth, may bo properly served in summer. Tho more delicate cream soups seem especially adapted to tho season. Thero aro few dishes more delicious than such a soup when it is properly made and few that aro bo easily spoiled. Tho most common error is for them to be of watery con sistency instead of a soft, creamy char acter of what the French call a velvety subat&cce. (llenco they name their fa vorite white sauco "velouto''.) Slow, careful cooking alono develops tills quality. A fresh pea soup is ono of tho most excellent in the whole list. Put a pint of green peas over the fire to cook in a quart of white broth. Chop a small onion and a carrot fine. Fry them in butter, or with a small piece of salt porlc, of tho size of a finger, add a spray of parsley, one of celery, a bay leaf and a sprig of thymo. Add these ingredients to tho peas, and let tho whole cook for one hour very slowly. At the end of this time strain the soup, pressing tho peas through a sieve, and lot them cool over the flro for ten min utes longor, stirring them constantly. At tho end of this time add half a cup of hot cream, or a cup of milk in which tho boaten yolk of an egg has been stirred, adding this mixture first to a small quantity of tho hot soup and then beating it into the whole. Leek soup is by no means to bo despised on tho score of health. Wo ought to cat freely of all albuminous vegetables in tho summer. The lenk is a more val uable vegetable in soup than the com mon onion, though the onion may bo substituted for il in almost any placo where it is used. Take six white leeks, peel them and cut them up and fry them in butter the size of an egg until they aro a golden brown, and add a scant half teacup of Hour. Now pour in a pint of boiling water, with salt aud pepper, and lot the whole simmer slowly for one hour. IJroth may be used instead of water, but water makes a very good soup. When the leeks aro cooked add a pint and a half of boiling milk and two hot boiled potatoes, mashed and mixed to a cream with a little milk. Let tho whole boil up, stirring it well, then strain it, pressing the leek and potato through the sieve. Iteturn tho puree to the fire, let it cook about ten minutes longer, then move it to the back of the stove and beat up tho yolks of two eggs with a little cold milk and mix it with a cup of hot broth. Pour this mixture in the soup, and stir it all thoroughly. Do not let the soup boil after adding tho egg yolks. N. Y. Tribune. A Very Thirsty I)o;j. A young Wissahickon man, so the tale goes, owned a dog of mongrel breed, which had added to its one great undesirable- quality of low birth tho more offensive one of the mange. The young man determined to sever his re lations with the animal, and with that end in view he secured a large wash- tub and put staples in tho inside of it, with ropes attached to them, to secure ly hold the dog and keep its head un der water. He caught the dog just as 'it came in after a long tramp in the dusty roads. The doomed animal was preparing to slake its thirst at the hy drant, when its master grabbed it aud tied it down in the tub. Then he turned the water on and lot it run until the dog's head was totally submerged. He could not bear to see the poor brute suiler, so he went away for a quarter of an hour. He came back expecting to find the dog dead Strange to say, however, the doy was very much alive. Thero was no water in tho tub; neither was there any leak in it. The dog had simply quenched his thirst Philadel phia Record THE GtNEHAL MARKET. Kansas Citv, Fob. 1".
