spit out again worthless. Or, at least,the ranchers say the land Is worthless,after the dredgers get through with It.But who cares what happens to any-thing 'when there's gold to be found?

Three years ago I spent a summerSunday on a little ranch up the Sac-ramento river the ranch was on anIsland a little green, smiling, pleasantisland. "With grass and wild flowersand trees and little cozy houses coveredwith roses like the houses on a val-entine.There were willow trees along the

hank. of. the river, and the wild poppleswere yellow: there, and the blue andwhite lupin mads a pleasane Tlace alongthe road. "At the farm house there were

.And there was an orchard of cherry trees and apples quince andormges, and two lemon trees there were, and olives grew there the grass wasblielc with the ripe fatness of them, and pomegranates blushed to beautyunder?-th- e sun, and the almonds were all in the green and very creamy. Evenloquita-the- y had in the orchard, and two fig trees besides and at the backof the orchard was the vineyard all set in orderly rows and already heavywith, clustered fruit, which would oneday be purple and golden and deep and glowing amber.

And there were doves in an old-f- a hloned dove cote. "Poo-roo-p- roo,"'they,said, as they spread their tails and strutted In the flecking shadows.And bens there were, the white breed so much affected on the coast with heroand there a gayly caparisoned rooster, all in red and yellow and sullen bluishbrown. And the guinea hens called to each other In their strange oriental lan-guage. And, at nightfall when the river turned from blue to gold and thento purple,, and the long shadows fell on the grass, like a loving hand upon awell-belov- face the cattle came lowing home from the sweet meadow.

A few weeks ago I went there again up the winding Sacramento, and attht landing I could not believe my eyes.

TbaypUlow trees were gone, the grass was gone, the flowers were notthereA-t- h house stood In a raw field new mangled by the dredge. The old rosetree and the old rose vines were heavy with blossoms but they were fleckedwith dirt, and hung fading and' neglected from the porch.

There were no cattle in the field no chickens In the garden the orchard wasno more. t t

Did It Pay?Tern, mangled, bleeding, the lovely land. And in the old house, where

one I loved was wont to ply her simple tasks, there lived the miners withno thought of home, or homely comforts. Gold they wanted always gold.

And outside, In the torn fields, the monster of the gold dredge clawed andbit and. tore the patient earth and brought the gold out for the miners. Andthe land was desolate and my heart grew cold.

Seme day, theysay, they will smooth the wounded earth and plant againthe garden and the orchard.

Some day, they say, the field will again be sweet with clover, and littlechildren will play under the new willow trees along the banks of the windingSacramento. Perhaps perhaps.

But, somehow, X wonder if It's really worth it all the gold we must haveat such an anguishing expense.

A great poet told me once that flowers never would grow on the land whereBjiave.dtfp.for gold. I wonder why? -

Gone from his face the courage. Gone from his eyes the hope. Gonefrom hlra altogether generosity, nobility, honesty but he was very, very rich.

I wonder If It paid? I wonder if It every really quite pays the price wepay'for'goTd?

Your Kitchen '

FloorBy MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK.

Author of "The New HouseKeelilnc."

many queries come to me

SI the finishing and coverof a kitchen floor that I

feel It is a worth-whil- e subject for our daily discussion.

In many homes already built thekitchen floor is made of boards ofvarying degrees of hardness whichare then either painted, varnished ormerely oiled. Sometimes rugs areused on these floors or pieces of rub-ber or rubber mats where the work--worker standsbefore the sink,stove, etc Orllneoleum may SW vvssBBBambe used, or In s iljKKaaHHaasome of themore costlyhomes, a tiledkitchen mayfrequently beseen. "What arethe points forand againstthese and otherfinishes? In the first place, all woodIs porous enough to absorb water,grease, and other materials, and toseparate, leaving larger cracks. Nomatter how thoroughly a floor Is laidor whether it be treated with var-nish or oil, wood Is not the best fin-ish for a kitchen floor. No matterhow careful the worker, there arebound to be bits of grease and frag-ments of food dropped on the floor,and constant mopping Is necessaryThis mopping will destroy the finishof tho wood, open the cracks, andIt will be harder and harder to keepthe floor thoroughly "scrubbed."

Linoleum offers a Krm, Impervioussurface without cracks, which In ad-dition, has the color that may behelpful In any decorative effect. IfInlaid linoleum is bought and wellput down. It seems to be oy allmeans the most satisfactory floorcovering of an Inexpensive kind.

Since sanitation is the watchwordof the kitchen. It would seem thattile should be ideal. From a sani-tary standpoint, ye: but its chiefdefect Is that It is so hard that itwearies the feet of the worker, andhence adds to her fatigue Instead ofto her comfort. A mw cork, floor-ing Is on the market which Is ex-cellent In many rooms, being, as Itis, resilient and attracthd. But Itabsorbs grease a little too readilyand requires a great deal of scrub-bing, and Is therefore not in the frontrank of floor finishes.

Several kinds of composition ce-ment and hair mixtures are on themarket, variously named, whichseem as Impervious as tile, butwhich are more springy and softer.The general plan of laying suchmaterials is to put down one coata half Inch thick, spreading It likecement, letting this first coat drytwenty-fou- r hours, and then addinga top coat which results in an Im-pervious, shiny surface. As this topcoat can be colored terra cotta,green, blue, etc, or can be made Invarious combinations of block pat-terns. It Is by all means the bestfloor covering. In a permanent housewhere there Is no question of ex-pense.

Another Important Point aboutthese combination flooring mixturesIs that they permit the mixture tobe made 'nto the form of a base-board In one piece with the floor,which Is the highest type of sanitary.flooring, preventing Insects andmice

Rubber floorings are not desirablebecause they absorb grease andgrease rots the rubber. However,small rubber mats or sections ofrubber matting such as are used onsteamboats on the stairs are verydesirable to place In spots where theworker stands continually as sink,stove, or table. The kitchen floorIs a problem In Itself, and it is aproblem that the woman must solveand not some man architect.(Copyright, 1914. by Mrs. Christine

The City Gate.In the north of Persia, toward

FAR Turkestan border, I came atend of a stifling hot day

upon one of the strangest vil-

lages in the world. From a distance,viewed through the shimmering heathaze of the arid plain on which itstands, it appeared like a huge vikingship perched on the crest of a wave.

This strange resemblance Is due tothe fact that Eydl Khast. as the villageis called. Is built within perpendicularwalls that rise sheer from the top of asolitary hill, nearly 100 feet high. In-accessible as a feudal castle. Its onemeans of communication is by a fewplanks spanning a yawning gully. Theseplanks. Identical with the feudal draw-bridge, are drawn Into the village atnight, and leave It Isolated from theoutside world upon Its precipitous hill.

Shut up In this marooned village, re-mote from any sort of civilization, itis not strange that the manners andcustoms of the Inhabitants are differ-ent from the rest of the world, and evendifferent from those of the surroundingcountry. The oldest Inhabitants of EydlKhast have never used soap they donot know what foap Is. And yet theyare a rcaHunably clean people. Theyclean themselves with sand, which cer-tainly makes bathing in Eydi Khast anheroic virtue.
