Farm and Household.

Fresh, Grass and Salt,-Cows in
spring, when first turned out to pas.
ture, require salt more frequently than
at any other season, but in the hurry
OF spring work they are very likely to
be neglected. The best way to insure
a supply is to put a quantity in a box
under cover, or where the animals can
at all times reach it without assistance.
In this way all danger from neglect
will he avoided.
Cranberry Jelly.-Carefully wash
and pick over two quarts of cranber-
ries, add one pint Of cold water, and
place them in porcelain.lined sauce
pan over a quick fire, stir occasionally,
and when the berries are soft mash
them thoroughly with spoon, bring
to a boil, and then add a quart.bowl
full OF granulated sugar, boil ten min
utes, and then pour into molds. The
berries should not be on the fire more
than twenty-five minutes, as the more
quickly they are done the more bril-
liant the color of the jelly will be-.
Cool the molds with the cold water be-
fore using.

Take Care of the Children.

A correspondent of the Laws of Life,
in referring to an article published in
the Illustrated Christian Weekly on
''Children's Blues" says that it

dear little brother used to come to me.

anxiety, saying, "Jennie, I feel as if

certainly it is true that children have
their hours OF sorrow and trouble.
Happy are those who have careful
mothers, who look into things ano are
in earnest to bring up their children
Alright. Happy are those children who
early learn to know the Saviour who
loves them, and who will as surely ans
wer their prayers for help as those of
the oldest disciple, for while He leads
His sheep, does he not tenderly carry
the lambs in His bosom!
Children frequently inherit dispo-
sition to look upon the dark side of
things, and they are frequently nerv-
Gus, and am inclined to think this is
very often attributable to their food.
If parents would only study the real
happiness of children more, they
would learn that certain nice bits,
which are given because they taste
sweet, made child's disposition any
thing but sweet and happy.

HOW THE WOMEN VOTE.

The New York World, which is not
an advocate of female suffrage, sum-
marizes the vote cast at the last SEES
sion of the national grange of Patrons
of Husbandry, to show how women,
when called upon to vote, cast their
ballots. By means Of this summary
giving the names of the married men,
bers who voted and the fact Of their
agreement or disagreement-the fact
is deduced that of 434 votes cast by
the representatives Of the twenty-six
recorded divisions of the national
grange, 1913 voted alike. and but fifty
six split votes were cast. The conclu-
sion of The World is, therefore. that
in a community where entirely equal
rights rights are exercised or recog-
nized, and where the women have the
very highest qualifications of position
and education, the women's vote, elev-
en- times out of twelve, simply REIN
forces that of the husband, and so in
crease his political power rather than
check or correct it's exercise.

THE BRIDES TRIAL.

It is strange what different esti.
mates people will put on man char
acter, according to the eyes with
which they may view him. In the
opinion of Mr.. Benjamin Benedict
not our hero exactly, but the next
thing to it, his uncle-was a gentle
man, a scholar and a philantrophist :;
while others, quite as we'll qualified to
reason and decide, wonder that such a
monster was allowed to walk the earth
unchallenged. For old Ben Benedict
was Just the sort of man to provoke
and please in alterations human
March day, with streaks of sunshine
and chilling gusts sandwiched through
his nature. People who knew him
liked him passing well, but it some
times took a lifetime to know him as
he really was.
''You will be sure to like my uncle,
darling,'' said Hugh Benedict to his
young wife. ''He is eccentric, but he
is sterling ...,.,..-,>.......
Rachel did not answer, but her blue
eyes were wistful and full of .perplex-
ity. Uncle Ben, whom she had never
seen, but of whom she had heard
much, was to her an inscrutable rid
die, whom she feared more than she
was willing to acknowledge. For
Hughs future depended to 4 certain
extent upon Uncle Ben Benedict, and
with Hugh future her own was bound
inseparably.
She was fair, fresh-looking girl,
with velvety cheeks. bronze-bright
hair, and features as correct and del.
icately cut as a cameo. Hugh was
quite certain that Uncle Ben could not
see her without loving her; but then
these young husbands are not apt to be
impartial judges!
She was sitting in the freight, at
their lodgings, when the old gentle
man first beheld her and the only
warning she had of his presence she
saw reflected in Hugh's eyes.
''My dear, how do you do - said the
old gentleman, kissing Rachel on both
cheeks.
And she thought he was not so ter.
rible, after all
He turned to Hugh when he had
thus unceremoniously made himself

A Cat Which Went to the Crimean War.

Colonel Stewart, W ortley, an English
officer, tells the following story of a
cat whose acquaintance he made dur
ing the Crimean war:
''After the French troops had taken
the Malakoff I was sent into it on duty
and found an unhappy cat bayoneted
through the foot and pinned to the
ground. took her to my tent; she
was carefully tended, and every morn
ing taken to the doctor to have her
wound attended to. Four or five days
after was too i'll one morning to get
up, and puss came and scratched at my
tent door. took no notice; but not
long after the doctor came to say that
mine was wise cat, for she had come
to his tent and sat quietly down for
her foot to be examined and have it's
usual bandaging. She was watched to
see what she would do the next morn
ing; but she declined wasting her
time scratching for. me, and went
straight to the doctors tent and
scratched there. She was very affec-
tionate animal and it was absurd to
see her following me all over the camp
with her tail carried stiff in the air.

The energetic gentlemen who COM
pose this corpsfation have found it
necessary, IN order to provide for the
great and growing travel over their line,
to put on tri-weekly coaches. between
this city and Deadwood. They have re-
ceived new coaches, and Mr.. Gilmer,
of the firm arrived a few days ago with
a lot of horses which r now being
shod and placed on the road. On Tues
day next the first stage Of the tri-week-

employees accompany it to complete
the stocking of the road between the
fort and Deadwood. Hereafter stages
will leave Fort Laramie on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Saturdays, making the
trip to Deadwood in two days. The
total time between Cheyenne and Dead

terprise shown by Messrs. Gilmer, Sal

that our citizens and the citizens of the

Curley's Black Hills Book.

Mr.. Z. A. Curley, the well-known
journalist, who visited the Black Hills
last summer for the purpose of examin-
ing and writing up that rich region, ar
rived here yesterday from the east,
where he has been experimenting the
publication of his book, aGlittering
Gold; the True Story of the Black
Hills,i7 a copy of which now lies before
us. 1t is a neat and compact volume of
about 140 pages, superbly printed, full
of fine illustrations, and contains a col
ored map of the Hills which is the best
and only correct one yet published.
The book is written in a racy yet
straightforward and convincing style,
and will aid vastly in opening the eyes
of the outside world to the fact that the
Black Hills are all that the most san
guine have claimed them to be. The
price of the book is fifty cents.
