itiTto deep pan and bake. 4,
To CLEAN LAMP CHIMNEYs.-Hold
them over the nose of the teakettle when
the kettle is boiling furiously. One or
two repetitions of this process will make
them beautifully clear. OF course they
must be wiped upon a clean cloth. ,ii
= LEMON JUMBLEs.-1 egg, teacupful
sugar, cup butter, 3 teaspoonfuls milk,
of cream tartar, teaspoonful soda, 2
small lemons, juice of both and grated
rind of 1. Mix rather stiff; roll and cut
out with cake-cutter.
ANTs.-Set plates, spread over rather
thickly with lard, around wherever the
ants make their appearance, and place
small sticks against the sides of the
plates for the ants to walk up, and you
will soon find they will forsake every
thing for the lard.
WASHING FLUID.-1 gallon soft soap,
gallon boiled lye, 4 or. sal soda, I gill
spirits of turpentine, once bOrax; mix
and boil few minutes and it is then
ready for use. Soak your clothes the
night before; in the morning rinse them !;
to every 5 gallons of water add pint of
fluid; boil hard Is or 20 minutes, rinse
well and the work is done.
NICE GLOSSY SrARCH.-To 8 cups of
water take rounded teaspoonfuls of
starch, pinch of salt and teaspoon
full of powdered borax. Dissolve your
borax in part of the water; then add
starch and salt; dip your collars, cuffs
and bosoms intOth starch. Your irons
must be good; rub them with beeswax,
and you will not fail to get a stiff, glossy
surface.
CORN PANCAKEs.-After stripping the
husks from ! dozen ears, CRATE them on
coarse crater; scrape from the cob
any pulp that may remain; to that add
an egg beaten somewhat, then pour in a
teacupful of rich (sweet) milk; drop in
good pinch of salt; scatter in a good

flour until the mixture is of the consis-
tency of griddle-cake batter; then fry
them on hot, well buttered griddle.
SELECTING FLOUR.-First look to the
color; if it is white, with yellowish-
colored tint, buy it; if it is white, with
blush cast, or with white specks in it,
refuse it. Second, examine its adhe-
siveness-wet and knead little of it be-
tween your fingers-if it works soft ard
sticky it is poor. Third, throw a little
lump of dried -four against a smooth
surface, if it falls like powder it is bad.
Fourth, squeeze some of the flour tight
ly in your hand, if it retains the shape
given by the pressure that. too, is a good
sign. II is safe to buy flour that will
stand all these tests.

She Would Sue for Damages

A lawyer who was defending case of
assault and battery in the Police Court
the other day was given to understand
that he could secure valuable witness
in the person of q woman near where
the "battery" had occurred, and he,
therefore, made call at the house and
requested her to detail all the circum-
stances.
"Well, SIR" she began, az sot right
here, holding this ERE baby in my lap,
and was singing Darling, am grow
ing DID, The baby was squalling great
guns, my boy William was making faces
at himself in the glass, and the man
who owns the house was trying to get
in to tell us that if we didn't pay up
we'd be bounced -
YES" remarked the lawyer.
"Well, sir, all of sudden heard a
rumpus on the street, and pitched this
ERE young 'un on the bed, gave William
a cuff on the ear, and ran to the window.
Sech sight as seed, sir!''
"Describe it, madam-describe the af-
fair just as you saw it.' =
swell, sir, there was Mrs. Perkins,
who never had half the husbands nor
eddecashun I've had, sailing right by my
door with a calico train four feet long,
and never as much as looking at my
house, though I lent her summer
squash and two onions only last night
at dark!'
"And the ight?" queried the lawyer.
Was there fight, sir? If there was,
I'm not to blame, sir. thought at first
I'd go out and put a new eye on the old
jade for putting on style over her bet
tiers; but William he got the tack-ham-
mer fast in his mouth just then, and the
baby kicked himself off the bed, and she
sailed out of sight around the. corner.

There are more deaths caused by i'm
prudence while convalescing then from
any other cause. This is the reason
why SO much depends upon the nursing
of the patients. His appetite while con-
valescent is ravenous, and he Graves, as
q general thing, such food as ne can not

wishes, he will eat it and take his
chances, which under such circum-
stances, are not worth taking. I sup
pose o patient becomes crazed by the
excess of his hunger, and does not know
that any imprudence is equivalent al
most to certain death. It is doubtful if
he ever thinks about imprudence.
Sometimes he feels very well and
strong, and refuses to stay in the house,
where he has been cooped up for such
q length of time. This strength is so
deceitful that it leads him to commit
some excess, which usually brings on a
relapse, which is worse than the disease
itself and nearly always fatal. One can
not be too careful when convalescing,
as that is the critical time with most
persons. Imprudence, in any manner,
shape or form, is extremely dangerous

SNAKE STONES.


Among the Arabians ssrpents were
supposed to possess precious stones of
inestimable virtue. This belief was our
rent through many ages. Matthew Paris
relates the story Of miserly Venetian,
named Vitalis, who was rescued from q
terrible death-having fallen into pit
in which we're lion and a serpent-by
woodcutter, to whom he promised halt
his property for this deliverence. The
lion and the serpent, who take advantage
of the ladder by which Vitslis is brought
to the surface, also testify their gratitude
to the woodcutter by crouching at his
feet. While the poor man is having bis
humble repast in his little hut, the lion
enters with dead goat as present. The
serpent also enters, bringing in bis mouth
a precious stone, shirb he lays in the
countryman's plate. lie next goes to
Venice. and finds Vitalis in his palace,
feasting with his neighbors in Joy for
his deliverance. On being reminded of
his promise, the rich man denies having
seen the woodcutter, and orders his
servants to cast him into prison; but be-
fore this could be effected the rustic
escapes, and tells his story to the judges
OF the city. At first they were incredu.
lous; but on showing the jewel, and
proving further the truth by conducting
them to the dens of the lion and serpent,
when the animals again fawn on their
benefactor, Vitalis is compelled to per-
form his promise.
In Timberlake's discourse of the
Travels of Two English Pilgrims to Jeru-
salem. GAIA, ETC., 1911" we find an &C.
count of great jewel which was taken
from serpent's head and used in con-
juring. In Alphonso's "Clericals Disci-
pima" a serpent is mentioned with eyes
of real jacinth. In the romantic history
of Alexander, he is said to have found
serpents in the vale of Jordan with
collars of huge emeralds growing on their
backs
Aliusons to serpent stones are frequent
in the early writer's. We read in Costa
Romanorum that the Emperor Theodo.
cius the Blind ordained that the cause of
any injured person should be heard on
his ringing bell which was placed on a
public part OF his palace. A serpent had
a nest near the spot where the bsllrope
hung. In the absence of the serpent a
toad took possession of her nest; the
serpent twisting itself round the rope,
rang the bell for justice. and by the
Emperor's special command the toad
was killed. A few days afterward a. the
Emperor was reposing on his couch, the
serpent entered the chamber, bearing q
precious stone in his mouth. and crawl
ing up to the Emperor's face, laid it on
his eyes and glided out of the apsrtmen
the monarch was Immediately restored
to sight.

WILD HoRsEs IN KANsAs.-It is q we'll
known fact that from time to time i'm
memorial herds of wild horses have
roamed over the plains OF Southwestern
Kansas. Their origin no man knoweth.
1t may date back to the early Spanish
conquest of the country. II has been ex-
ceedinglv difficult to capture them, the
method pursued having been to run down
and lasso them with feet horses. Latter
ly, however. it has been found that they
can be captured in herds. The method
is to get up an outfit of fast walking
team on wagon carrying provisions and
camp supplies, and three or four riding
ponies and as many men. When herd
is found they are kept moving, no effort
being made to drive them in any direction.
The team and ponies are not driven faster
than walk, and every opportunity is
embraced OF cutting across to save dis
tance. The wild horses are kept in
motion until dark, being given no op.
portunity to Craze during the day. At
night they are too tired to Craze and will
lie down. The pursuers camp, feed their
horses from grain which they carry with
them, and are up by daylight, have break
fast and start again. This is kept up
day after day. Every day takes some OF
the scare and wild out of them; they be-
come accustomed to the sight of the men
on horseback and the team, find they are
not going to be hurt by them, and tired
and leg weary from constant travel and
little feed, and in from eight to ten days
will allow the men to ride in among them
and drive them in any direction. They
are then headed for the ranch, and quite
tanned and docile by the time they get in.
They are of the pony order, such as are
used in the cattle business, make good
riding ponies, and when thorough broken,
good teams for light driving in the coun-
try. They sell. when broken to ride. at
$15 to 1926 her head. and when broken to
drive at from $50 to $75 per span.

LEGEND OF THE IRON MASK.

During the seventeen years confne.
mont OF this strange prisoner At Sainte
Marguerite, st. Mars. who brought him
to the fortress, was rsSJac,s1 bv Non.
sIeur de Bonpart. 40 governor. The
daughter of the latter, just emerging from
childhood to womanhood, grew up with
this mystery about her. She had seen
the graceful figure of the masked prison
er promenading at night upon the ter.
race and at worship in the chapel, where
be was forbidden to speak or to uncover
his face, the soldiers ia attendance
always having their pieces pointed toward
him il he should attempt to do either.
She discovered that her father always
treated him with the greatest respect,
serving him bare-headed and standing.
His table service was OF massive silver.
his dress OF the richest velvet, and be
wore tha finest linen and the most costly
lace. She had heard her father accident
speak of him as "the prince" No
wonder that his sad fate occupied her
thoughts BY day, and his noble figure
haunted her dreams by night.
She, too. was very young and beauti-
ful. and their eyes ocoasionally met in
chapel. He sang beautifully, and was a
very skliful performer on the guitar. I,
Is said she climbed the rocks under the
castle terrace and sang sweet songs to
tho poor captive. Thus o romantic love
sprung up between them, and as it gained
strength the young girl dared to purloin
the keys from her father. and 80 obtained
access to the prisoner. When the gov
ernor discovered his child's treachery,
be was struck with the greatest dismsy.
His oath was binding upon him to put to
death Immediately any one who had
spoken to the prisoner. But she con.
fessed her love for him and pleaded
pitsously for her young life. The cap.
tive, also. to whom the governor was
much attached, joined his prayers to
hers, and implered that they might be
made man and wife, and then the secret
would be safe. The governor was not
stern enough to immediate his child, and,
perhaps, q CLEAN of ambition may have
flashed across his mind, as in the event
Of the death OF Louis XIV. the prisoner
would b. acknowledged, and his daugh.
ter sit on the throne OF France.
However, their nuptials were per.
formed by priest of the castle in the
dead of night, and all were sworn to
secrecy. From this union two children
were born. A whisper of this reaching
the ear of the minister, the Marquis O.
Louvols, the prisoner was Immediately
removed to the bastiie for safer keeping
and the mother, the priest and the gov
ernor disappeared. The children wer,
sent to Corsica, to be brought up in OBJ
scurity under the name of their grand
father, Bonpart. which was corrupted
into Buonaparte. And thus. says th
legend, Providence avenged the wrong
OF the twin brother of Louis XIV, an,
restored the eldest branch of the Bour
q Don line to the throne of France.
