Poor Quality Control at Maytag
Posted by
We purchased six Maytag products for our new home 3 1/2 years ago, one of which was a Maytag gas range, Model MGR5765QDQ. This range has two large burner grates that cover the entire top of the stove.
After the first couple of months of use, the porcelain was chipping off the grates. In addition, the tops of the grates scratched easily when you would move a pot or pan on the grates. It was like they were made of a material that couldn't withstand heat and the finish couldn't have a pot or pan sitting on it without scratching........kind of strange for grates made to cover burners!!!
During the warranty year, I called Maytag with these problems and the grates were readily replaced. However each time new grates were received and inspected before they were put to use, you could see areas on the top and bottom of each grate where the porcelain finish was not covering the entire surfaces. Therefore, after a couple of months of use the tops were scratched up and the porcelain was chipping off again. We went through three sets of grates during that warranty year.
We've put up with the last set of grates since the warranty ran out. Recently I hit my boiling point with having a fairly new stove with grates that now have large portions of the porcelain missing and with the porcelain bubbling up in many other areas and the tops of the grates full of scratches.
I called Maytag just wanting to talk to someone in charge of quality control and let them know that somewhere, someone isn't doing their job. I explained the situation and asked for the phone number of their corporate office so I could call there. They refused to give it to me. They explained that they were willing to replace the grates one more time at no charge. I told them it wouldn't do any good if they were as inferior as the last three sets. They arrived yesterday with five places on the top and bottom of the two grates where there is no porcelain.
I called Maytag again and was told they could not send me any more grates since the stove was out of warranty. I explained that these were flawed, just like the last four sets and they would do me no good. I was again told they could do no more. I asked why they didn't care that they were putting out a product that was inferior. I was told again that they could do no more.
I asked to talk to a supervisor. I actually got to! He agreed to sending me one more set of grates. I told him that it was no use if they were as poorly made as the previous four sets. Finally he stated that he would request that the next ones to be inspected and specially packaged before they were shipped. I doubt very much that this set will be any better that the last four.
I was told they had not received enough complaints to recall the product. That's very hard to believe.....I can't imagine that out of the thousands of grates they manufacture that we just happen to get four sets that were flawed and all the others they make aren't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The quality that Maytag was known for all those years is gone! Do not purchase any Maytag products.....they aren't what they used to be!

The grates do have issues,plus there very expensive....
I can't tell you how many times I've replaced burner caps and grates under warranty,sometimes three or four times for the same customer..
2cent-er on 07/18/2010:
so there ya go-Ron's post. they obviously know there's a problem but it's so frustrating when they all[any co] say "geez! first we've heard of that" if they could just be straight and say yeah we're aware of this and we'll put you in our data base to get new ones when it's cleared up..your best bet is to wait it out. they'll correct the vendor problem and then you'll be OK-you'll probably have to buy them yourself. how you can tell is; periodically check the new ones out at a retailer and when you start to see the grates are OK you'll know problem has been resolved.

I have had the same problem and have gone through 3 sets myself.

Service after Warranty Expires
Posted by
ALMA CENTER, WISCONSIN -- We purchased a Maytag double oven, ceramic cooktop range in 2008, spending the extra money we really couldn't afford, with the expectation this range, along with a new refrigerator, would last as long as we will need. I wasn't real happy with the way the larger oven baked and I complained to the dealer. The repairman came and checked it out - he said it was working the way it was designed, that it was built with an energy saving feature. So I mainly used my old Whirlpool range that my husband had installed in the basement for those occasions when we had family gatherings and needed an extra oven and cooktop. The last week of May, 2012, I was preheating the large oven of my Maytag range and suddenly noticed a white ball of fire in the oven. It really frightened me and I immediately turned the oven off. The element had caught fire and was broken in two pieces. I called the 800 number for Maytag and was transferred to a Whirlpool repair #. I talked to a representative at that number who told me they would call the dealer from whom we purchased the range and have their repairman come and check the range. Based on his report, they would either repair or replace the range for us, free of charge.
The final decision was that the element and control board would be replaced at no cost to us, or if we wanted to replace the range they would pro-rate the cost. We decided we could not afford to replace the range, and the element and control board were replaced yesterday, July 3rd, at no cost to us. We are very impressed and happy with Whirlpool for standing behind this 4-year-old range. The warranty expired three years ago.

Why Is New Glass Top Range Impossible to Clean?
Posted by
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO -- I have a Maytag corning glass top stove that is at least 15 years old. I still have the cleaner that came with it. It looks almost as nice as it did when I got it.
So I bought one for my son and his wife. I heard complaints so when I was there I tried to clean the top. Even with the cleaner and a special scrub pad, would not clean it. It even had some shiny spots I've never seen before. I discovered the top was made in China.
I also discovered that it was bought out by Whirlpool, I wish I would have done my homework because the quality is not there. It's sad that the bottom line is more important to a company that buys out a competitor. I have many Maytag appliances, but I will not buy another. So everyone don't buy Maytag anymore because it isn't Maytag. Is there a glass top out thereby corning?

Americans for the most part refuse to pay the price that comes with high quality. So, corporate America sells us what we want and will pay for, Chinese and other offshore crap and junk.
It's getting pretty tough to buy quality American made goods anymore.
trmn8r on 06/15/2013:
What you describe is by no means unique to Maytag. The same thing happened with all appliance companies over the last 5 years - the quality came out but the name is still there. It is giving them all black eyes, but where is a consumer to turn?
BigAl on 06/16/2013:
Some of the problem may be due to the type of cookware being used.
John Nicholson on 06/16/2013:
Three years ago we bought a glass top range because my wife said it would be easier to keep clean and it looks really nice. After less than two years and with no luck in keeping the thing clean, we went back to a basic electric range with the four coils. Where the glass top range took forever to heat up and then took forever to cool down, the old-style range works flawlessly as we had been used to for decades. These things may look nice in the show room, but once you get them home is another thing. We had Lowe's take the practically new glass top away when they delivered the new one. All in all, we cannot recommend the glass tops.
As for being made in China---you get cheap products, both in price and in quality.
Roger Mimm on 06/30/2013:
We have had a glass top GE range for a number of years and love it. We always wipe it clean after each use if it get spills on it. Sometimes we need to use a razor blade if the spill is burnt on to hard to wipe off. Looks like new. Never spill sugar on it and let it burn on. Our owners manual warns about this. sugar spills will burn into the top and not come off.
Connie Veatch on 01/03/2014:
I have a one year old Maytag glass top stove and have trouble keeping the top clean. I bought Maytag because my mother has one even though it is several years older. I help her keep it clean and it still looks like new. It is so much easier to clean than my new one, even when you accidentally get a bad burned on spill. Mine requires way more time and effort to get it clean, even with no spills or burn ons. I have used the recommended cleaner, as well as trying several others with no luck. I'm not sure whether I would now recommend Maytag to anyone. The quality is not what it used to be.

Maytag Gas Range Does Not Hold Temperature
Posted by
VANCOUVER CANADA -- Maytag would accept responsibility for a defective gas range which did not work from day one. The range would heat up but would not hold the temperature. The repairman at first thought the problem was the thermostat however after replacing it the problem persisted. The repairman concluded that this was a defective unit and should be replaced as the problem was either a defective gas valve or major problem with the control board. Since we did not contact Maytag within one year the warranty had lapsed.
When we complained within a year Maytag told us it was normal for a gas range to lose temperature but heat up again. When we complained again to Maytag the one year had lapsed. We also purchased a new Maytag fridge and dishwasher which we had problems within the second year.
Do not buy Maytag.

Maytag Sucks!
Posted by
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK -- Bought a Maytag Gas Range in December 2011. Started having problems with it first week of use. Oven would not ignite or stay lit, and would not bake evenly because it couldn't keep consistent temperature. Repair man came to fix it 4 different times in a 3 month span. Worked fine for about 10 months and then started doing the exact same thing again. Worst appliance I have ever bought and Maytag would not take care of it at all. Will not ever buy anything Maytag again.
MAYTAG IS EXPENSIVE GARBAGE! Do yourself a favor and purchase another brand with your hard earned money. I know that I will.

Sold overnight service without providing it
Posted by
BENTON HARBOR, MICHIGAN -- Called to order parts for my range. I was told I could pay for overnight shipping, which I did, because I have a catering job and needed my range repaired as soon as possible. It was after 6:00, so I asked point blank, "If I pay for overnight shipping, will I have it tomorrow?" The salesman assured me I would.
When I called to find out why I haven't received my part, I was told it would be shipped out today (which is when I was supposed to have received it) and would receive it tomorrow. I told her I would like to have the overnight shipping charge removed from my charges. She refused. I asked to speak to a manager and she put my on hold for a while. When she returned, she said SHE spoke to her manager and that he would not refund my money. I asked again to speak with him and she would not let me.
They have me over a barrel, because I have to have the part, but I will never buy Maytag again. I was under the impression that they were excellent customer service...I have not found that to be true.

It could have been worse. I thought you were going to say the parts weren't in stock.
Unfortunately, many salespeople will assure you anything to make a sale. Now you know that Maytag salespeople are no different.
At Your Service on 11/10/2011:
So with all respect, what would have happened if the individual you were speaking with stated that the overnight shipping would be two day's because of the time of day? Would you have told them to send it regular ground and been okay in receiving it within a week to ten days?
I agree that their service teem probably needs to be cautioned about not over promising time frames because of the time of day, but it sounds like you needed the part anyway and needed it ASAP.
Best of luck with the catering business.
trmn8r on 11/10/2011:
The previous reply brings up an interesting consideration. Would you have chosen overnight shipping if it meant two days.
The CSR was obviously ignorant and should be retrained. You are getting overnight shipping. Seems to me that they should at least apologize. Did they?
Venice09 on 11/10/2011:
I don't think that's the point at all. The OP paid for overnight shipping to ensure the parts would be received the next day, as promised! That turned out to be untrue, and Maytag won't even remove the overnight shipping charge. It was Maytag's mistake(?), and they should take responsibility. That's the point.
CowboyFan on 11/11/2011:
The op orders after normal business hours. We don't know what the part is. By the time the part is ready to ship, it is too late to send out that day. That does not mean the person who made the promise lied, only that things did not work out as planned. Paying for overnight service refers only to the manner of shipping, and does not pay extra to the company for getting it out that day.
The issue then is, having the part ready the next day, does the op want them to send it regular mail or overnight service. In this business situation, having it as soon as possible trumps the cost of shipping. The op got what he wanted, overnight shipping when the part was ready to ship.
Venice09 on 11/11/2011:
Normally, I would agree, CowboyFan. But in this case, I must disagree based on this statement from the review:
"It was after 6:00, so I asked point blank, "If I pay for overnight shipping, will I have it tomorrow?" The salesman assured me I would."
If the salesman didn't have enough information to ensure that the customer would receive the parts the next day, he should not have assured the customer that the parts would be received.
2cent-er on 01/29/2012:
Maytag doesn't sell replacement parts directly to retail consumers, so this issue is with an individual reseller-maybe authorized/maybe not..all next day's have a cutoff so obviously OP was lied to. how it's supposed to work-if you're dealing with an authorized distributor-is; if they have the part-they ship it out-if not they check Maytag's stock, if avail, Maytag ships..all based on cutoff time for next day delivery.

Maytag Design
Posted by
This Maytag Range is a 5 burner gas range with a see-through oven door. There are several problems with the design of this door. The first is that the door window consists of three panes of glass. The two inner panes of glass are sealed together to insulate the oven and perform nicely. the out glass has a tendency to get very dirty on the inner surface of glass.
This is caused by the fact that the oven door is used as vent for the oven. Instead of porting the vented vapors around the clear opening, the vapors pass over the surface of the glass. Since the exterior of the oven is nominally at room temperature these vapors condense with the consequent mess.
Even this would not be all that bad if the design allowed simple removal of the glass - it does not, it is difficult. It was only through a lot of frustration and searching forums that I discovered the tricks to removing the oven door and glass. After cleaning everything I went to reinstall the oven door - another problem. The specified system did not work at all. Again I had to search forums for the answer. I have always like Maytag appliances, but these are the last I buy - the quality is going downhill.

Maytag Ceran Range Top Problems
Posted by
OCEAN VIEW, DELAWARE -- There are a variety of reports of problems with ceramic glass range tops, and the Schott Ceran range top on my Mattag range is no exception. After just a week, a metal surface (a stove pan)came in contact with a burner that had just been used: a small, half inch shatter point developed and the glass evaporated immediately into microscopic fragments. The Maytag dealer isn't sure whether whether Mattag (now owned by Whirlpool) will honor their warranty, and I'm still working on it. But, metal in contact with a ceramic glass tops has to be a common event for for cooks who, like me, are careful in the use of their appliances. In this case, this may have been a built-in defect limited to Schott Ceran glass, who produce range tops for Maytag. Let's just say that this report is a "heads up" for all products with Ceran glass, whether produced by Schott or not.

Poor Quality Appliance & Worse Support / Warranty
Posted by
ELY, NEVADA -- My last Maytag products lasted almost 35 years with only 2 repairs during those times. When we moved to a new home, we recently purchased a new range, fridge, washer, dryer, dishwasher, & over the range microwave, all matching, all at the same time.
While I have no complaints about the rest of the appliances, I do about the range.
The range worked perfectly fine until around 8 or 9 months after we purchased the appliances, the digital control on the range that controls increasing temperature, increasing the length of time on the timer etc. ceased to function. Since we purchased all the appliances at the same time we got a very nice price for all of them. We paid approximately $400 for the range (sale price).
When I called both the store & Maytag...they told me that the product was past it's 90 day parts and labor warranty. The cost to replace the "entire" top panel (not just the digital electronic board) was going to be approximately $200 and that would not include the cost shipping the part or the labor to have it replaced by a certified repairman. We were then told it would take approximately 3 months to get the part to us and that we'd need to wait another 2 weeks to have it installed as the "lonely" repairman was backed up at least that far, year round! It has been almost 6 months. We're still waiting for the part. We cannot cook anything in the oven over 350 degrees and cannot even use the timer. If the clock goes out from a power outage, we have to back it up to set it as only the "decrease" control still works. We cannot even use the self cleaning feature on the oven!
My outrage is just this...while I don't expect anything to last "forever", I do expect at least 3 to 5 years of use without too many repairs or problems. Is it too much to expect that the products you buy should work and perform long enough to at least make them worth the money you have spent on them? Our throwaway society has made everything disposable including our income.
Companies, including Maytag no longer care about customer service, customer loyalty, quality, reputation or dependability.
I will, after all the complaints I've seen on the web about Maytag, think twice about purchasing Maytag or any of it's affiliates products. I've been abused and put off as long as I care to be and decided to start sounding off! They want more than half the price of the appliance that I purchased less than a year ago to "repair" what was obviously a manufacturer defect to begin with. And it shouldn't cost more than half the original cost of the appliance to have it repaired or for parts! This is ridiculous! We are sick and tired of being ripped off by these big corporations and distributors.
I think we need to start working on legislation that requires at least a 1 year warranty on parts and labor on all purchases in this country. Or perhaps a year for each $100 spent on major appliances (as an example of a place to start). It may very well influence companies to make products they can stand behind and give the consumer some confidence in what they're purchasing!
I really didn't appreciate the complaint by the Maytag repairman! Yes, it is a commercial, but, there is supposed to be at least a ring of truth in advertising! Consumers have the right, after spending their hard earned money to complain when they don't get the value from what they've purchased and you shouldn't be complaining when these same faulty products are the reason you have a job!

Well $400 sounds extremely reasonable for a range with electronic controls, and I have never heard of a new appliance having less than a one year warranty. I hope one of our memebrs "stevefromsocal" sees this post and can confirm what he knows about the warranty length.

Being a bit of an appliance veteran, I can tell you that this doesn't seem right. Hopefully, you kept all of your documentation and can demand satisfaction.
Slimjim on 09/17/2007:
Keeping the owners manual is obviously a good idea but I think we really are trying to figure out here why this only has a 90 day warranty.
Anonymous on 09/17/2007:
If this unit was bought "new" it should have a one year parts,and labor warranty.
What is the serial number,I can check for you.
SilverWngs71 on 09/18/2007:
The only time that an appliance would have a 90 day warranty is if the appliance was a floor model and was sold as is. Now this information would be something that the dealer would add to the receipt. This would also be a functional labor and parts warranty. If there were any cosmetic issues or something was missing then the consumer would be responsible. However with the consumer above they did not advise if this was a floor model or if the unit when delivered was in a box. ALL Maytag appliances come with a 1 yr Labor and Parts warranty. That is in the warranty page of the U&C Manual. The only difference is my above notes.
Snooz13 on 01/28/2008:
I must agree with rpscot on their experience with Maytag and warranties in general. I have a 20 month old dishwasher whose control board (probably the most expensive piece) has just died. There is a 1 year warranty, but who expects a major appliance to have issues within even the first 5 years!?
You would think a reputable company would stand behind its products, and provide a warranty which has a term that speaks to that commitment to "excellence".
If we use that as a measure for warranties (not just with Maytag) that are extended to the consumer nowadays, then we, the consumers, are really being ripped off.
I, too, believe there should be legislation that stipulates a minimum life expectancy for household appliances and it should further stipulate a minimum warranty period - both of which should be more than 2 years.
The current "90 day", "one year", and "limited lifetime" warranties all speak to an unreliable, wasteful, disposable culture which should offend our sense of responsibility to our environment. Think of how much more frequently appliances are being added to our landfills due to the lack of effort on the manufacturer to build a reliable product and service plan.
I would love to see if even one major manufacturer, albeit Maytag, Whirlpool, or some other company, step up to the plate, put their money where their mouth is, and truly stand behind their products with a warranty/guarantee of full service for the majority of their product's lifespan - and not for only a year.
I "guarantee" they'll get my business!

TEXAS -- Burners and pot supports rusting out at 5 years
Flaking thin poor quality metal and coatings
Porous and heat sensitive stainless that pits and discolors in top
Not informed of recall
Poor warranty coverage
Lightly used by single 50yo man
Sad to think what would happen if it was used more. Maytag ahead in the Race to the Bottom of Quality.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 3, 2009) — Favorite Mrs Kipling, allowed to relax much of the way under a confident David Flores, rallied from seventh at the top of the stretch en route to an easy 2 1/2-length victory over longshot Candilejas in Sunday's $100,000 Senorita Stakes at Hollywood Park.
Mrs Kipling, owned by celebrity chef Bobby Flay and trained by Hall of Famer Neil Drysdale, established herself as a leading contender for the $750,000 American Oaks in July as she covered one mile in 1:34.52 on the Lakeside Turf Course.
"At the three-eighths I chirped to her once and she was really relaxed," said Flores, who rode two winners Sunday. "By the time we hit the stretch she changed leads and she was gone."
The Irish-bred filly, second behind Acting Lady while making her U.S. debut in the Providencia at Santa Anita in early April, paid $6, $3.80 and $3 while winning for the third time in seven starts.
Candilejas, a 37-1 shot with Martin Garcia up, paid $28.60 and $12.80. Pride Dancer, ridden by Joe Talamo, finished another half-length back in third and paid $4.60. Acting Lady, the second choice at 5-2 in the field of nine 3-year-old fillies, finished fourth.
"She had a lovely trip and a lovely ride," Drysdale said. "It was a mile today and she relaxed very well. I know there was a strong pace in front of her, but she switched off to wherever he (Flores) wanted her.
"I don't see any problem with her going nine (furlongs), and if she goes nine, well then we will go ten," he added in reference to the $150,000 Honeymoon Handicap (1 1/8 miles) on May 31 and the $750,000 American Oaks (1 ¼ miles) on July 5. "We'll just go one step at a time."
Mrs Kipling banked $60,000 with the victory, boosting her earnings to $136,961.

Good day All,
I finally got my 2011 Rack Attack paper tuned to shooting nice bullet holes. As the picture indicates, the arrow is not perpendicular to the string. Should I be concerned? Is this 'normal', what ever that is... Just looking for some insight as I am ignorant about many things..
The farthest I have shot it since paper tuning is 20 yards and it is dead on (of course-its a Martin!). Thanks for the help!

Summer Sampler Series: Kansas Dust Storm
This is Kansas Dust Storm, block #3596 in the Encyclopedia Of Pieced Quilt Patterns. Much like Faith's "Rocky Road to Kansas" block, this block got its name from a very specific time and place in history. The block pattern was published by the Kansas City Star in December 1935, in the midst of the Great Depression and the Dustbowl (April 1935 saw some of the worst dust storms in the history of the U.S.). Not surprisingly, quilting thrived in the 1930s—families often needed to make use of every scrap of fabric they had, and that usually meant making quilts. So this block is representative of an important era in the history of the craft.
As I was choosing fabric for my block, I realized that Kansas Dust Storm is actually quite similar to the Evening Star block that Kate posted about on Monday. They're both eight-point stars, just oriented a little differently. For that reason, I reversed out the prints and did the star points in my background white, putting more focus on the secondary design that forms around the star. And I love how it turned out—somehow it really does remind me of a weak sun shining in the hazy Dustbowl sky.
For this block, you will need three templates: Template A, Template B, and Template C. You'll need four copies of each of the three templates. Sorry about the three templates, but this was the only way I could come up with that avoided Y-seams. And if you've come this far in the quilt-along, you're a paper-piecing expert by now. So I know you can do it! If you haven't done paper-piecing before, I recommend checking out Faith's tutorial for the Star block first, as that's a great introduction to this skill.
Kansas Dust Storm Block Tutorial
1. Cut your fabric as follows:
• Center (my floral print): 3.5" squares - cut 8 (I fussy-cut mine)
• Green squares: 4.5" squares - cut 8
• Orange-dot corner triangles: 4" x 6" - cut 4
• White star points: 2.5" x 3" - cut 8
• White background: 4" x 6.5" - cut 8
2. Cut the 4.5" squares (my green print) in half diagonally, so you now have 16 triangles.
3. Take 4 (only 4!) of those 16 triangles and cut them in half again, as shown, to make 8 smaller triangles.
4. Place one of the 12 larger triangles on the back of Template A, so that it covers Section 1 (but on the back of the template). Hold it up to a light source to check that your piece is in the right place, and adhere with double-sided tape, a glue stick, or a pin.
5. Lay one of the 4" x 6.5" background pieces over the top of the center triangle, right sides facing. Match up the long edge along the line between Section 1 and Section 2.
6. Sew along the line (using a shorter stitch length to help perforate the paper) and press back the background piece.
7. Do the same thing for Section 3, with another 4" x 6.5" background piece.
8. Now it should look like this.
9. Add one of the 4" x 6" corner triangle pieces.
10. Sew and press into place, then trim the excess fabric, using the paper template as a guide for where to trim. Your Unit A should now look like this. Repeat to make three more Unit As just like it.
11. Now we'll move on to the B and C templates, which are exactly the same, except that they are mirror images of each other. Start by adhering a 2.5" x 3" background piece to the back of each template, covering Section 1.
12. Place one of the 8 remaining large green triangles over the white background piece. One of the short sides of the triangle should line up with the line between sections 1 and 2. Flip over, sew along the line, and press into place.
13. Continuing piecing the B and C units, using the smaller green triangles and the floral octagon pieces. When the units are completed and trimmed, they should look like this.
14. You should now have 4 A units, 4 B units, and 4 C units. I removed the paper at this point—from here out, I found it easier to piece things accurately without the paper. Take one B unit and one C unit and sew the short sides together to make a larger triangle, like this.
Not like this! This is an easy mistake to make with this block, as you can see! (I wish I could say I did this solely for educational purposes, but it ain't so.) This way even looks right. But it's not.
15. Join your pieced B/C triangle to an A triangle, as shown, to make a square.
16. Then piece your four squares together to complete the block.
And there we have it: 12 completed sampler blocks. I'll be sashing the blocks and putting the top together in the next week, so come back here next Friday to see my completed top! I'll post yardage and cutting requirements for my sashing at that time, in case anyone is interested.
Huge thanks to everyone who quilted along with Kate, Faith, and me this past month (and to everyone who may do these blocks in the future!). I had so much fun doing this quilt-along with all of you. The blocks that have shown up in the Flickr group are absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see all of the finished quilts!

So cool! I really dig what you did with this block, it looks super fab, and I'm looking forward to giving it a try :)ReplyDelete
I think this is my favorite block of all! I really like the design that occurred in the block's center because of your choice of fabric.ReplyDelete
This is such a fabulous QAL. I wasn't part of it...didn't think my skills were good enough but I've enjoyed reading about it... and someday I will make these blocks.ReplyDelete
Thank you for doing this. I've really enjoyed reading the history.
LOVE how this block turned out and your fabric choices are perfect. That center is beautiful!ReplyDelete
Wow - your block is fantastic, Lee! I love it so much. All of your blocks are gorgeous.

Can't wait to check back to see your finished quilt!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous block, love it!ReplyDelete
wow, I didn't even realize that was a star block until you mentioned it. Love how you made it white. Your 12 blocks look fantastic together!ReplyDelete
Very cool block! And I love how you've changed up the background fabric. It looks like a swirling storm!ReplyDelete
What a great block! I really love all the blocks for this quilt. Yours is looking wonderful.ReplyDelete

I. Love. This. I'm pondering making a whole quilt out of this one, if I could work up the gumption to cut all those templates. THANKS for breaking down the steps to make it less intimidating!ReplyDelete

Thank you! This has been such a fun Qal!ReplyDelete
Thank-you all for your effort in putting together this quilt-along. I'm so glad that I joined in!ReplyDelete
You're blocks look great together! Having lived in western Kansas for the first five years of our marriage, I have first-hand knowledge of Kansas dust storms. In fact, the saying, "time to get out of Dodge." I was actually in Dodge City when a dust storm was predicted and had to get home ASAP or they were going the highways because of lack of visibility. True story.Which had really nothing to do with quilting...ReplyDelete
Your blocks are gorgeous! I hope to follow these tutorials in the future when I have more time.:)ReplyDelete
I LOVE the way you fussy-cut the center of that block! GORGEOUS!ReplyDelete
HELP! If you have some time I was wondering if you could help me out! I wrote you a message on Flickr Discussions. Thanks a bunch!ReplyDelete
I posted it to Flickr if you have a bit of time! Thank you!ReplyDelete
This block is really gorgeous! I think it might be one of my favorites that you've made for the quilt.ReplyDelete
I really like the design that occurred in the block's center because of your choice of fabric. And also I had a really great time making these blocks. Your blocks look amazing.ReplyDelete
I love this block!! thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
What a beauty!! I will be bookmarking this QAL to come back to, for sure!!ReplyDelete
Wow,it`s absolutely awesome!!ReplyDelete

She was a clerk in the Treasury at Washington on a salary of nine hundred do lars a year; he was in the post- office enjoying the privileges afforded iy an income of twelve hundred. Once in a while there was a holiday, when they would take the boat down to Mount Yernon, if it was warm, aad •pread their luncheon in the shade of its historic trees and patronize nature .-is successfully as if they were nabobs. Sometimes they had tickets given them for a comedy or tragedy, when they laughed or cried with the discernment of millionaries and the old families. On Sunday mornings they sang in a choir and walked out to Long Bridge later m the day, or-strolled in the Capitol grounds and surprised the first violet in its biding place. Helen's landlady told every new hoarder that Mr. Yan Yleck "was going with Miss Hil- tlretb, but Miss Helen always protested that they were neighbors at home and had gone to school together when they were in their pinafores; and the landlady always sniffed when she remarked, -If he's nothing but a friend Ishould think there'd be a secession of his love- making sooner or later.' One day when they were rambling about Mount Yernons together Helen fell into a romancing vein. 'Suppose this is my country seat,' said she, 'and 1 have furnished it in the Queen Anne style, and I'm entertaining the creme de la creme. just as they do in novels'— -A sort of Lady Geraldine—and I am the poo£ poet, eh ?' -All bat the poetry,' mocked Helen. "Isow suppose this is my manor house," suggested Theodore, " furnished in the renaissance, let us say—I' m making great demands on your imagination—and I'm entertaining all the swells. I've lurea you here on the pretext of looking for a four-leafed clover, but really to ask if you willsh*remy magnificence with me: what should you say ? " "I should put my lessons in gymnastics into use and jump at the hance." -«And if I should ask instead, " -Com« share my art-*"*, gentle maid?'' "Don't!" cried Helen. He looked at her a little blankly. " You don't mean that you care so little for me?" "I don't mean anything. Don't let us talk about marrying and giving in marriage; we are happy enough, as we ai e." " But if /don't marry you some other fellow will!" "Nonsense; penniless girls are a druj- in the market. I've seen misery enough from marrying on a small salary ; I've seen people living in two rooms, on - water and a crust,' so to speak, doing their own work, with no pleasures and no society, and no hope of amendment; people who thought love would tide them over all the quicksands—and present y the hallucination wo e off, but the quicksands remained ; reproaches set in; she grew bi ter and unlovely, and he morose and neglectful"— -• Then you think love an hallucination?" 'I think marriage is a mistake on twelve hundred a year. If I became dowdy and hadn't time to cultivate a taste for esthetics or whatever was the fashionable craze, and grew jaded and spiritless with the uncongenial task of washing pots and kettles and stewing over a range, and if nobody turned to look after me as I oassed, one day you would find yourself disenchanted. Then, supposing the new administration should push you out of office, even for a month, or you should fall ill? No, we are happy enough just as we are; don't let us discuss marriage; let us wait, like Mr. Micawber, till something turns up.' And so Yan Yleek waited. Eerhaps he was disappointed in Helen's views, but be refused to confess it even to himself; all women felt so, he supposed, cared more for shadow than substance, or mistook the one for the other; it was their poetic temperament which made poverty hateful to them and splendor their natural atmosphere, and he applied himself more diligently than ever to his idea, working far into the night at times. 'You were not at the President's last evening,' one of hi3 fellow clerks said to him later. T? So; I should think not.' But Mis3 Hildreth was there; she Mr. Sterling, M. C, were hand in glove. I heard him ask her to go and hear 'Lohengrin' to-morrow night.' •Mr. Sterling is in luck," was all Yan Yleck ventured to say; he did not choose to carry his heart on his sleeve for every clerk to peck at. If Mr. Sterling was fascinated by Helen, it surely was no fault of hers; many a man "had been bewitched by her before this elderly congressman, only Theodore forgot that they had all been needy suitors—and as for Helen, he felt as sure of her as of seed time and harvest. But on one occasion he left his work early and hastened to see her; a cloud of ugly rumors had assailed him and interfered with his tasks; she should brush all the cobwebs out of his heaven. He met her coming down the staircase in a white evening dress, with flowers in her hand—costly exotics, such as wealthy lovers send their sweet- j hearts, such as he had never dared to buy. 'Where did they come from,' he demanded. •They grew, I 'spects—like Top3y/ answered Helen, laughing uneasily. •Where did you get them, Helen?' 'You are inquisitive, Mr. Yan Yleck. Thev were sent me.' >By Mr. Sterling?' 'You do credit to your nationality, you're a capital Xankee. Yes, by Mr. Sterling, of course/ •Helen,' he cried, beneath his breath —'Helen, you are going to marry Mr. Sterling?' 'I—believe I am,' she said, dropping her eyes. Theodore never knew exactly how he found his way out of the house; he was vaguely aware of brushing against a stout gentleman in a fur-trimmed ul3ter; as he shot into the street, of a Btately carriage and pair standing at the door, and a darkbro wed leaning out to look after him. The next day he resigned his position in the possoffice, drew his savings from the bank and left Washington. It were well, perhaps, if he could put deserts and seas and mountain ranges; between Helen and himself. It seemed to him as if the earth had reeled from its orbit, and it required time for him to readjust himself to the situation. His idea was all that was left to him; he put into it all his earnings, he devoted heart and soul to its development, and he finally forgot himself and Helen Hildreth in his work and its success. It was seven or eightyears later that they met, oddly enough, on the Mount Yeraon boat. Her vivacity was no longer thespontaneouseffervescence of youth and hope; she wa3 a trifle passee, perhaps. 'Wealth and splendor have not proved all her fancy painted them,' he thought as their eyes met. 'Mr. Yan Yleck,' she cried, 'who would have dreamed of meeting you here!' Was the pleasure which brightened her eyes and deepened her somewhat exaggerated dimples a reminiscence of her power or was Mrs. Sterling a married flirt, he wondered. 'We have heard of you often, to be sure,' she purred. 'The newspapers have not been silent concerning you and your great invention. I've always felt an ownership in that invention, do you kno w ? I felt as if I were bebind the^seenes, let into the secret before the rest of the outside world, when it was only a dream. I've resented every infringement'^—. "I am flattered that you remember my small affairs," said Theodore humbly. " Remember," she repeated with a lingering accent," I have nothing else to do." "I come down here sometimes," she pursued after a brief pause, " when we have a holiday, for the sake of auld lang syne, and try to believe I am seven years younger and the world before me where to choose. I like to come when the peach trees are in bloom, as they were that day when we built our castle in the air. Mine have crumbled into dust." "Mrs. Sterling, I am sorry to hear you speak so." She stared at him an instant, blushed and dropped her eyes in the old effective way. "Haven't yoa heard," she said. "I didn't marry.Mr. Sterling." Perhaps she expected Theodore to beam with sudden happiness and rehearse the old story she had refused to hear once before. "You left no address, you know," defending herself from the reproaches she anticipated. "Mr. Sterling died before the wedding day was set. I | thought you would see it in the newspapers. I am a Treasury girl yet, Theodore. Do you know that I sometimes wish that I had never seen Mr. Sierling?" Only the Pates know what Yan Yleck would have, answered, but just at that moment a bit of crepe lisse floated into their neighborhood and a voice like a summer brook crind, " Oh, my veil, Theodore !" Theodore put out a hand but it eluded him ; Helen made a quiek movement and caught it on the wing. * "Let me introduce you to Mrs. Yan Yleck, Miss Hildreth," he said. " She would like to thank you."—Our Continent. Trades Unionism, and. Strikes. The Fairy Chests. The secret money-drawer, the hidden treasffre, the miser's board and the like furnish material for incidents and plots for-novel writers, :md in real life one and all repeatedly play apart. "The Mysterious Money Chest" has just furnished a puzzle f..r the Philadelphia courts to solve. Jane and Susan Shaw, two old maiden ladies, lived for many j years in the Quaker City. Jane died in April, 1881, leaving a fortune of $60,- Q00, to go to her sister for life and then to other legatees. Susan died in April of this year. She left her property to the same relatives, with one exception. When the executor, who was the same in both cases, was making an inventory of the estate, he stumbled across "four mysterious chests. ■ They were made of heavy wood, were iron tipped and firmly locked. After a deal of trouble they were opened, and found to be full of silver and gold. No motion had been made of such a treasure, and its existence was n3ver suspected. Two men were employed five hours in counting the money, which summed up $21,001). The executor put the money-to Susan's account, but objections were made. It was shown to the court that Susan had exhausted her means in investigations made shortly before her death, while Jane had been of economic habits, and lived far within her income. The money was awarded, therefore, to Jane's estate,—Fso. What right has a trades union to control a man's labor? In this country labor ought to be free. Every workman ought to be absolutely free to decide for himself whether he wishes to work or to stop. But the unions deny the right to work of those who are'nat members, and assume to dictate to those who are members whether they shall work or not. By what right? Is it answered that the member has voluntarily given to the association that control over his actions? that only puts the old question back one step. What right had he to part with his freedom? Does he not owe sacred duties to his wife, his children and others dependent upon him ? Has he any right to subject them to want, because a body of men who have different interests and d uties so direct ? The wife may be lying in siekaess; has he any right to quit the work necessary for her care because a majority who have no such duty wish to quit? The education and the future lives of children may depend, upon the steady employment of the father; has he any right to bind himself to consign them to ignorance and want whenever a majority may so direct? Every man in thi3 land owes a duty to his country. He i3 bound to promote its peace and order, to support its laws, to seek the prosperity of its industry, Has any man a right to say that whenever others vote to strike he will join, though he may know that it will lead to some violence, some crime, much disorder and serious harm to the industry ot the land? What have trades unions done for labor? They have put the most industrious and thrifty at the mercy of the turbulent, reckless and shiftless. There are soma workmen who waste money in drink or lust, some who would never save anything if then- wages were doubled, some who care nothing for home or family ties. These men have the power to turn the scale, for or against a strike, in almost every trades union wfeere there is a difference of opinion. The worst workmen and the worst men invaribly are most inclined to a,contest. Every sober and industrious man knows that such men continually insist upon acting against his judgment and sense of duty, and frequently prevail. By such men labor is forced into frequent and needless contests with employers, and the sense of common interest is destroyed. By such men labor is demoralized; through the unions they make it no longer necessary to do good work n order to secure good pay and steady employment. Thus labor steadily deteriorates in character and value, so that employers can no longer afford to pay as much for it. It is not strange that the best workmen will thus bind themselves to suffer for the shirking and shiftlessness of the worst. What do trades unions do for the boys ? Years ago the sturdy American mechanic took pride in having his sons thoroughly trained for useful occupations. Apprentices were wantedi ana decent workmen never objected. But the unions strive desperately to prevent the thorough training of a sufficient number of young men to supply the future demand in every trade. With a shameful shelfishness, as if a father should insist on starving his son in order to eat more himself, these unions shut out American hoys by the thousand from proper training for labor. The half-trained or untrained workers who come from Europe in armies the unions cannot shut out without breaking down-altogether, and so it comes to pass that they deprive sons of Americans of opportunities to labor in order to give more work and higher wages to immigrants. The American boys are driven to "live by their wits," or go to the bad, while the least worthy class of immigrants swarm into the trades unions and seise despotic power there over the labor and lives of better men than themselves. Is not the end always crime ? There are desperate and bad men in every secret league. The fierce excitement of combat tends to push even the best men to extremes, but those who are not the best, those who fill themselves with liquor and give the rein to brutal passions, go to extremes whenever their cause seems likely to fail. In every laud the path of the trades union has been ever marked by crime and bloodshed. Laborers of the better class do not approve these deeds, but what right have they to take part in a struggle which almost invariably leads to law-breaking by some of their associates ? Has a decent citizen any right to league himself in an undertaking that is sure to excite the fiercest passion, with men whose excited passions he well knows will have no respect for law, for public order, for rights of property, or even for human life? The workman who consents to act with a trades union of which some such men are members—does he not make himself responsible for- the crimes they are well nigh certain to commit?—if. T.Tribune. and ate a little. By evening she was quite lively, and the next morning she squealed for her breakfast. Not one of the sows or of the three pigs that got the medicine died, but were all well and lively inside of 24 hours. Since that I had one sick hog in another lot and cured it with one dose of the medicine. I am now satisfied that if I had got the medicine when my pigs were well, and fed a little cf it as Sir. Andrews had tried to get me to do, I would not have had any sick hogs, and I believe I could have saved every pig if I had given the medicine when I first noticed they were sick. Abraham Tuttle. Mr. Tuttle lives near Cowan, Monroe township, is a member of the Society of Friends, and is well known as a reliable man. It will keep hogs well, and at the same time much more than pay for itself in the extra pork it will make without any extra feeding, as will be seen by Mr. George Kirby's statement, who treated 16 hogs with the powder, and got a gain from them of 185 30b -, while another lot, of, 16. fed the same only without the powder, gained only 80 K>s in two weeks. ISTo one who has given this medicine a fair trial for the sole purpose of keeping hogs in perfect condition, can have no doubt but what it pays a big profit on its cost, as it increases the thrift and growth of the hogs so treated to a marked degree in all cases, upon the same principle that flax-seed oil cake, when given it proper quantitie3, promotes the healthfulness and thrift of horses and cattle. What the Pace Shows. Chicago Sentiment. The Great Hog Cholera Hemedy and Preventive. War Sounds by Telephone. ■ An eighty-ton gun, which speaks with the power of 370 pounds of powder behind a projectile weighing 1,700 pounds, has a voice somewhat louder than that of a human being, but the use of the telephone to carry the war sounds of Alexandria 1,000 mile3 yesterday suggests a query as to how long it will be before the telephone will be adopted for ordinary use at long distances. The London Globe reports that an instrument was attached to the Mediterranean cable at Malta, which s nearly 200 miles from Alexandria, and the bombardment was plainly audible 1,000 miles away, The fact that the telephone which received the sounds was so far from the bombarding geet makes the success of the experiment especially remarkable. Inventors are at work upon the problem of how to adapt the telephone for use at long distances, and if the sounds of war can be carried 1,000 miles, it seems reasonable to believe that the use of the telephone for conversation at 200 miles can be made practicable. A test of a subterranean telephone at Jersey City recently encourages hope of such a result.—N. Y< Mail, Since the Great Hog Cholera Bemedy introduced by Dr. Joseph Haas of Indianapolis, was thoroughly tested here at the Union Stock Yards and found to be all right as a remedy and preventive of hog cholera, we have steadily been its advocate, and,have recommended it through our columns freely to all breeders of swide, and we now call attention to the following strong testimonial in its favor from the Muncie (Ind.) Times: After supper on Wednesday, May 18, I noticed one lot of my pigs were sick. There were 28 Michigan pigs and five sows in this lot. By bedtime 12 pigs were dead, and eight more died during the night. In the morning I went to Muncie and got a package of Dr. Haas' Hog Medicine at George Andrews' drug store. It was about 11 o'clock when J got hack homo, and I found three more of my pigs dead and two others dead shortly after. This left me three pigs and five sows, and they were very sick. One sow was so bad 1 had to get help~and pry open her mouth and drench her. She was so near dead she would hardly swallow, but we managed to work a little of the medicine down her throat. We then drenched two of the pigs; the other pigs and sow ate from the trough a little slop with the medicine in it. You will think it Eound-eyed persons see much, live much in the seuses, but think less. Narrow-eyed parsons, on the other hand, see less, but think more and feel more intensely. It will be observed that the eyes of children are open and round. Their whole life is to receive impressions. It is only when childhood is maturing toward man or womanhood that thought comes, if it comes at all. But what is it that most leads to reflection? Experience. Our errors, our shortcomings, our failures—theseteach us to think before we act, to consider each step, to weigh every motive. When, therefore, the upper eyelid—for it is that which has the greatest amoun of mobility—droops over the eye, it in dicates not merely reflection but some thing painful to reflect about. Hence the length or drooping of the upper eyelid be tokens confession and penitence. The drooping of the half of the eyelid from the outer angle to the center indicates the disposition to confess one's faults to parents or seniors, to a "father confessor," or to the Supreme Being. The drooping of the half of the eyelid from the inner angle to the center betokens the disposition to repent, and to "do works meet for repentance." Closely allied to these signs are those of prayerf ulne3S and humility, The former is indicated by the muscle which turns the eye directly downwards, as renresented in the pictures of the Madonna. Prayerrumess is ua^a,nj large in connection with the signs 5 oi confession, and humility in connection with that of penitence; the reason of which is, that between the faculties of penitence and humility there is the same close connection as between confession and prayer. One who has more prayer than humility has the eye turned habitually somewhat upwards, so that the upper part of the iris is a little covered by the upper eyelid, and so as to leave a slight space between the iris and the lower lid. The reverse is true of one who has more humility than prayer. Th8 faculty of truth—that is, the love of it—is indicated by the muscle which surrounds the eye, causing folds and wrinkles. Justice is indicated by the muscle which causes perpendicular wrinkles between the eyebrows. Fulness and wrinkles under the eye, for which some persons are remarkable, indicate the love of mathematical accuracy; and wrinkles curving upwards from the outer angle of the eye and eyebrow, indicate probity or personal truthfulness. There are three degrees of the faculty of justice. The first is a kind of exactness or strict honesty in 3mall money matters which some people would call closeness, and is indicated by a singular perpendicular wrinkle or line between the eyebrows. The second is the disposition to require justice in others, and is indicated by two perpendicular lines or wrinkles, one on each side of the center —a veiy common sign. The third degree is conscientiousness, or the disposition to apply the rule of justice to one's self, and is indicated by three or more wrinkles or lines, especially noticeable, extending above the eyebrow when the muscle is in action. The love of command is indicated by one or more short transverse wrinkles across the root of the nose, exactly between the eyes. It may be seen in great military commanders, in masters and teachers, and in those generally who are fond of exercising authority. In those who are wanting in the power to command, and have no desire for responsibility, this sign is also absent. The faculty of command frequently acts with that part of justice which reprimands, or requires others to do right, and both together produce that frowning and lowering brow which is so terrible to evil-doers, or to those who love to be approved rather than condemned.—Phrenological Magazine. "Is it not beautiful, sweetheart?" As Lillian McGuire spoke these words she looked into Bupert Hether- ington's face with her starry eyes, and, as the light of holy love shot forth from within their dusky depths, he felt instinctively that she was going to hold him up for some ice cream. But, conquering the sombre reflections that this ghastly thought called up/ the young man placed his arm around Lillian's waist to prevent her red sash from being sunstruck, and waited in the tense agony of a horrible suspicion for her to speak again. "Do you not think it is lovely, darr ling?" "What?" asked Bupert, with an ingenuous Owl-Club expression on the perfect features of his West-Side face. "Why, the morning, to be sure," replied the girl, a sunny, six-button smile playing lightly around her lips as if afraid it might fall in. "The twittering of the birds, those silver-throated harbingers oi summer, is to be heard on every branch and bough. The air is lades with the delicate perfume of lilac and apple blossoms, while the dew-kissed leaves of yon sturdy maple reflect a little of the crimson and gold of the rising sun. Spring has been a sad laggard, but now that she has come in all ier glory of bud and blossom, what can be more beautiful?" "I cannot tell you," replied Bupert. "You are far too fly for me, dearest, when such matters are to be discussed. But in the dreamy, sensuous days of autumn, when the tasseled corn hangs ripe in the sheaves, and the leaves have felt the blighting touch of the Frost King's icy breath, I am more liable to get there. Mine, as you know, is a sensitive, Sedgwick street nature that shrinks from contact with a cold and cruel world. To me the spring has naught of joy. The low, mellow note of the new milch cow chasing a butcher's-wagon in which her off-spring uneasily reclines seems to me like the wail of a lost soul, and weird fancies crowd my brain as I hear at midnight che mournful hoot of the owl, flitting like some evil spirit amid the desolate precincts of the viliage churchyard." "It is your liver, darling," murmured Lillian. "I sometimes think so," was the reply. "Ever and anon the thought comes over me like a black demon of the night that I am off my feed. But it cannot, must not be. Yet in the autumn all is changed. The soft mezzotints of the pumpkin pie fall gratefully on my eye, and all nature, laughing in the fruitage of an abundant harvest, seems joyous and free from care. It is to tell you this that I have come around so early this mornings—to tell you that in the months that are to come, the scorching days of midsummer, when che sun, hanging like a ball of molten brass in the sky, will send down its rays in pitiless fury, you had better get another fellow—one who will love you dearly as I have done, and whose memory you can ever cherish with tender gentleness."

The girl threw her arms around his neck, kissed him. with a passionate, pump-suction kiss, and went into the house. Eupert walked around the corner, where he met "George Simpson.

WHAT WAS DONE WITH MB. WOKTH. E. M. Worth, was bitten by a rattlesnake at his Museum in New York. Raising the lid of the cage the huge snake lying dormant he struck it on the head when it immediately fastened its fangs in his thumb. Disengaging himself he drank a pint of whisky. His wound was the first of the short which had occurred in the city in twenty years. Whisky is the only antidote,the hospital doctors say, for a rattlesnake's bite. The poison, which is very rapid in its effect, coagulates the blood and reduces the vitality. Whisky produces an effect precisely the contrary. As soon as he was bitten, Mr. Worth applied his lips to the wound made by the snake, which was in his left thumb, and sucked it. By this means he removed a great part of the poison. A quantity still was left, and, together with the whisky which he drank, and to which he was unaccustomed, rendered him delirious. At the Chambers Street Hospital, the wound was enlarged so that it would bleed freely, and was injected with amonia, which is a local antidote. The thumb at present is slit on the outer part the full length between the two points to the bone. The doctor in charge of the patient frankly confessed his ignorance, in a practical point of view, in such eases. He understood, he said, that the snake grasped his victim by two fangs, placed in the upper jaw, and introduced a third and poisonous fang' from the throat. The wound, when the patient came under his charge, was a continuous one, and he still further enlarged it. The treatment was dictated from reading, and not from experience. As soon as the patient recovered consciousness he was subjected to hypodermic injections of morphia and whisky. The morphia was given as an anodyne, and the whisky to keep up vitality. Ten syringes full of whisky were injected yesterday hypodermicaily over the stomach. The quantity amounted to only about two ounces, or four tablespoonfuls, but it entered immediately into the circulation, and was equivalent to a pint of liquor consumed in the ordinary way. The injections, both of morphia and whisky, were moderated gradually. His arm was swollen to a point above the elbow, and about the wound the flesh was of a green color. After being allowed to bleed freely, the wound was swathed in a flaxseed poultice, and the arm, voluminously band- ranged to support the bed clothes. Although the doctors feel the crisis has favorably passed the patient feels comfortable only when under the influence of the opiates. He breathes short and sharp, like a man in pain, and complained of hisarm, which he could not move. His pulse was almost normal, and he had only a slight fever. The Bellevue doctor ascribes his patient's escape to the prompt taking of whisky. It is, he says, the only known antidote for a rattlesnake's bite, and it must be taken immediately, inasmuch as the poison works with marvelous celerity. Mr. Worth's unconsciousness, the doctor say3, which occurred within ten minutes after the bite was . received was the result of the poison more than of the liquor which he took. He says quite positively that his patient will recover. . The Summer Crop of Degrees. JDAYID AND GOLIATH.

On the regular bursting of the monsoon the very existence of the people of India may be said to depend. But for the monsoon the whole country would perish under its glaring sun; and during the early days of June Anglo-Indians look anxiously for the brief announcement of its coming. The southwest monsoon sets in generally toward the end of April, the steady wind sweeping up from the Indian Ocean and carrying with it dense volumes of vapor, which slowly collect in dark masses of cloud as they approach the continent.

The combat wa3 fierce, and, after a struggle of nearly an hour, the snake cocked up its head, and with a lurid glare of eyes peculiar only to snakes, made a last desperate leap for the canine, and quick as a flash coiled itself around the dog's neck.
