They're great, hun- gry monsters that-che- up the land-i- nd 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 summer Sunday on a little ranch up the Sac- ramento river the ranch was on an Island a little green, smiling, pleasant island. "With grass and wild flowers and trees and little cozy houses covered with roses like the houses on a val- entine. There were willow trees along the hank. of. the river, and the wild popples were yellow: there, and the blue and white lupin mads a pleasane Tlace along the road. "At the farm house there were "V Tjfc rfv. vSflsr the ail eucalyptus standing at the gate like sentinels. A Garden Paradise. .And there was an orchard of cherry trees and apples quince and ormges, and two lemon trees there were, and olives grew there the grass was blielc with the ripe fatness of them, and pomegranates blushed to beauty under?-th- e sun, and the almonds were all in the green and very creamy. Even loquita-the- y had in the orchard, and two fig trees besides and at the back of the orchard was the vineyard all set in orderly rows and already heavy with, clustered fruit, which would oneday be purple and golden and deep an d 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 hero and there a gayly caparisoned rooster, all in red and yellow and sullen bluish brown. 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 then to purple,, and the long shadows fell on the grass, like a loving hand upon a well-belov- face the cattle came lowing home from the sweet meadow. A few weeks ago I went there again up the winding Sacramento, and at tht landing I could not believe my eyes. TbaypUlow trees were gone, the grass was gone, the flowers were not thereA-t- h house stood In a raw field new mangled by the dredge. The old rose tree and the old rose vines were heavy with blossoms but they were flecked with dirt, and hung fading and' neglected from the porch. There were no cattle in the field no chickens In the garden the orchard was no 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 with no thought of home, or homely comforts. Gold they wanted always gold. And outside, In the torn fields, the monster of the gold dredge clawed and bit and. tore the patient earth and brought the gold out for the miners. And the land was desolate and my heart grew cold. Seme day, theysay, they will smooth the wounded earth and plant again the garden and the orchard. Some day, they say, the field will again be sweet with clover, and little children will play under the new willow trees along the banks of the winding Sacramento. Perhaps perhaps. But, somehow, X wonder if It's really worth it all the gold we must have at such an anguishing expense. A great poet told me once that flowers never would grow on the land where Bjiave.dtfp.for gold.

Gone from his eyes the hope. Gone from 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 we pay'for'goTd?

CHRISTINE FREDERICK. Author of "The New HouseKeelilnc." many queries come to me SI the finishing and cover of a kitchen floor that I feel It is a worth-whil- e sub ject for our daily discussion. In many homes already built the kitchen floor is made of boards of varying degrees of hardness which are then either painted, varnished or merely oiled. Sometimes rugs are used on these floors or pieces of rub- ber or rubber mats where the work- - worker stands before the sink, stove, etc Or llneoleum may SW vvssBBBam be used, or In s iljKKaaHHaa some of the more costly homes, a tiled kitchen may frequently be seen. "What are the points for and against these and other finishes? In the first place, all wood Is porous enough to absorb water, grease, and other materials, and to separate, leaving larger cracks. No matter how thoroughly a floor Is laid or whether it be treated with var- nish or oil, wood Is not the best fin- ish for a kitchen floor. No matter how careful the worker, there are bound to be bits of grease and frag- ments of food dropped on the floor, and constant mopping Is necessary This mopping will destroy the finish of tho wood, open the cracks, and It will be harder and harder to keep the floor thoroughly "scrubbed." Linoleum offers a Krm, Impervious surface without cracks, which In ad- dition, has the color that may be helpful In any decorative effect. If Inlaid linoleum is bought and well put down. It seems to be oy all means the most satisfactory floor covering of an Inexpensive kind. Since sanitation is the watchword of the kitchen. It would seem that tile should be ideal. From a sani- tary standpoint, ye: but its chief defect Is that It is so hard that it wearies the feet of the worker, and hence adds to her fatigue Instead of to her comfort. A mw cork, floor- ing Is on the market which Is ex- cellent In many rooms, being, as It is, resilient and attracthd. But It absorbs grease a little too readily and requires a great deal of scrub- bing, and Is therefore not in the front rank of floor finishes. Several kinds of composition ce- ment and hair mixtures are on the market, variously named, which seem as Impervious as tile, but which are more springy and softer. The general plan of laying such materials is to put down one coat a half Inch thick, spreading It like cement, letting this first coat dry twenty-fou- r hours, and then adding a top coat which results in an Im- pervious, shiny surface. As this top coat can be colored terra cotta, green, blue, etc, or can be made In various combinations of block pat- terns. It Is by all means the best floor covering. In a permanent house where there Is no question of ex- pense. Another Important Point about these combination flooring mixtures Is that they permit the mixture to be made 'nto the form of a base- board In one piece with the floor, which Is the highest type of sanitary .flooring, preventing Insects and mice Rubber floorings are not desirable because they absorb grease and grease rots the rubber. However, small rubber mats or sections of rubber matting such as are used on steamboats on the stairs are very desirable to place In spots where the worker stands continually as sink, stove, or table. The kitchen floor Is a problem In Itself, and it is a problem that the woman must solve and not some man architect. (Copyright, 1914. by Mrs. Christine Frederic) Odd Facts.

In the north of Persia, toward FAR Turkestan border, I came at end of a stifling hot day upon one of the strangest vil- lages in the world. From a distance, viewed through the shimmering heat haze of the arid plain on which it stands, it appeared like a huge viking ship perched on the crest of a wave. This strange resemblance Is due to the fact that Eydl Khast. as the village is called. Is built within perpendicular walls that rise sheer from the top of a solitary hill, nearly 100 feet high. In- accessible as a feudal castle. Its one means of communication is by a few planks spanning a yawning gully. These planks. Identical with the feudal draw- bridge, are drawn Into the village at night, and leave It Isolated from the outside world upon Its precipitous hill. Shut up In this marooned village, re- mote from any sort of civilization, it is not strange that the manners and customs of the Inhabitants are differ- ent from the rest of the world, and even different from those of the surrounding country. The oldest Inhabitants of Eydl Khast have never used soap they do not know what foap Is. And yet they are a rcaHunably clean people. They clean themselves with sand, which cer- tainly makes bathing in Eydi Khast an heroic virtue. Another peculiarity of these strange Ather ef fha nw neve!, xivin.

The big- gest argument under heaven against that word 'obey' Is that It Irrevocably commits the average woman to a He. She knows well enough that there are certain conditlonH In which she wouldn't obey If her husband beat her. It's a relic of the das when a man was privi- leged to beat his wife by law, provided he used a stick no bigger than his thumb. And believe me," I added, "you could muss up a person nicely ulth a stick n0 bigger than your thumb." "Don't he slangy," said Mary frown- ing. "I still insist, Peter, that the word Is merelj an empty form, and It's an old custom and therefore beautiful ' "Tet," I said. "If there Is a dispute In a family a really Rerlous one and the man takes advantage of his prehistoric privilege and commands his wife to obey, she invariably does as she pleases Most times, too. the family does as she pleases without question, unless the man Is a bully. Even then the meekest of little women will flare up under stress and do as .she pleases. And Just so surely, Mary, as women disobey after promising In the marriage ceremony Ir- revocably to obey, they break a vow. Isn't that true?-- ' "Great heavens, Peter!" exclaimed Mary, petulantly, "you do fuss ovei the funniest points." "Nothing funny about that polnti" I retorted, nettled. "It's logic.

But. curiously enough, a doctor visits the town once.a week to minister to any one who may need him. And his methods, too, are highly original.

His method of cure Ms to write mystic sentences upon a slip of paper, which the patient swallows with so the report of faith shows the hap- piest results. The day that I climbed the hill, crossed the little gully on the few planks and dodged my curious way through the Intricate little passages called streets. I 'was prepared for near- ly any sight; but the relative house dis- tribution of the rich and poor rather surprised me. And yet. I should not have been surprised, for It Is logical of those who live In the past. Instead of occupying the airiest houses with the finest views, the rich men of Eydl Khast quarter themselves close to the stifling heart of the village. To- day there Is no reason why they should do this, but in the old days there was a. reason. In the past, when marauding bandits roamed the plain, the village fathers lodged themselves In the safest and left their poorer brethren Elaeest themselves and chance disas- ter.

And yet there are some conscientious women who feel that vow so strongly that they would religiously obey until death. In that rase, if tho man were brutal and criminal, he could force his wife to do untold things mcxely' by harping upon the word "obey!" If a strongly religious woman who believes that the marriage ceremony Is divinely Inspired and regards the word "obey" as a lit- eral oath to be kept Inviolate until her death, were to be commanded by an un- scrupulous husband to do something unspeakable, I wonder what would evtlve from her eventual spiritual strug- gle Hut. taking it all In all, I don't be- lieve in clogging up a beautiful thing line a marriage ceremony with hollow forms.
