Western Cliff DMelIers.

One of the most attractive portions OF
Colorado, if not in the entire West, is
that part of the State in which are found
the cliff dwellings of long extinct race.
The district in which these ruins are
located covers an area of nearly six
thousand square miles, chiefly in Colo.
RADIO, but which includes narrow belts in
the ad accent territories of New Mexico,
Utah and Arizona.
The ruins of this region, like most
others of the extreme West and South,
are the remnants in a great measure of
stone structures. 1t is evident, how
ever, that great portion of the villages
and dwellings of the lowlands which
comprise this district have been of
material other than stone, frequently,
doubtless, of rubble and adobe com.
bined.
The cliff houses conform in shape to
the floor of the niche or shelf on which
they arc built. They are of firm, neat
masonry, and the manner in which they
are attached or cemented to the cliffs is
simply marvellous. Their construction
has cost a great deal oil labor, the rock
and mortar of which they are built hay
ing been brought hundreds of feet up
the most precipitous places. They have
a muah more modern look than the
valley and cave remains, and are probably
in general more recent, belonging rather
to the close than to the earlier parts of
long period of occupation.
1t seems probable that a rich reward
awaits the fortunate archrologist who
shall be able to thoroughly investigate
the historical records that lie buried in
the masses of ruins, the unexplored
caves, and the still mysterious burial
places of the Northwest. But it is quite
improbable that any certain light will
ever be thrown on the origin of this
curious race which has Just been de-
scribed, or their history. Cincinnati

England's Egg Consumntion

About a third of the eggs and large
proportion of the poultry we consume
come to us from foreign countries, says
London (England) Bits. 1t has been
computed that at least 100 eggs per an
mum are consumed by each person in the
United kingdom-very young children
only excepted. If, then, the egg-eating
population of Great Britain and Ireland
be set down as numbering 35, 900, 900
persons, it becomes apparent that 3, SEQ, =
900, 600 eggs will be needed to supply
their demands.
of these Loss, $50, 44O eggs were
landed in the United Kingdom from
Continental places in the year 1887. The
money value of the eggs amounted to
$lj, 4O2, 500, France being tho reci pient
of So, 250, 900, Germany of nearly SO, 00O,-
900, and Belgium of over $500, 600. The
sums paid to Germany and Belgium
chiefly represent eggs which, in the
course of transit, are simply brought
through these countries on their way to
the larger seats of consumption in Great
Britain; as a matter of fact, nearly all
the eggs said to come from Belgium are
Italian shipped at Antwerp. The i'm.
portation of eggs from abroad has in
creased very rapidly of late years. In
1914 the number imported was 81, 000,-
600, in 1878 it had grown to eleven times
that amount, and the figures we have
given for last year show that no fewer
than three and quarter million eggs
were imported on every working day.

and no one discharge from six-pounder
ever had greater effect. 1t destroyed three
or four canoes, killed or wounded a score
of natives, and the smoke had scarcely
blown away before the schooner began
moving. The natives were checked for
the moment, giving us time to hoist the
mainsail little higher, and when they
began the pursuit we were moving down
the channel at about three miles an hour.
1t was lucky that | had cleaned up the
muskets and prepared plenty of ammu-
milton. But for the firearms we would
have been boarded with rush, for up.
ward of hundred natives crowded into
canoes to pursue. The channel was mar
row, but well defined, and while had
the wheel and kept her going Parker
was busy with the muskets. He fired in
turn at each canoe, and whenever he hit
man he threw all into confusion and
checked pursuit for several minutes. BY
and by he got time enough TO reload the
cannon, and this time he rammed in a
solid shot. The natives seemed to look
upon it as a gun which had only one
speech or report, and though the solid
shot hit no one, their confusion was very
great. Soon after this Parker killed a
man in the foremost canoe, and then all
fell back.
We now got the foresail on her and
the other jibs, and the schooner crept
along so fast that pursuit was given
over, much to our satisfaction. We
kept to the southwark, following the
channels between the islands, until about
o'clock in the afternoon, when we met
the trading schooner Junta, owned by
our same firm, which had loaded at the
Tubai Islands, and. was going 10 add a
few more packages at the Horseshoe
We divided the crews and sailed around
to the Tongas, Iwhere two whalers were
rcftting. We here got enough volun-
teers to increase our number to fifty,
borrowed muskets and cutlasses, and
returned to Old Lop's headquarters in
the Frisco. He showed fight when we
landed, but soon became panic stricken
and ceased resistance. We first made
sure that all our men had been murdered,
and then the men were let loose for re-
venge. They were wild lot, and they
felt it necessary to teach the natives a
lesson, and the hunting and killing
went on for three days. Neither age
nor sex met with mercy, and the number
of victims must have counted up fully
200. The Horseshoe was, in fact, de-
populated, and since that time no native
in any of the groups has dared to raise
his hand against white man, much less
plot the slaughter of a crew and the tax.

Game for Invalids.

After being properly prepared, says
the 81. Jdme5 Gazette, boil fine young
bird until it is three parts cooked; then
remove the skin, pick all the flesh from
the bones, and pound it in mortar
with little of the liquid in which it was
boiled, three tablespoonGuls of finely
sifted bread crumbs, a teaspoonful of
grated lemon rind, sufficient seasoning
of salt, and a grating ofnutmeg. When
pounded to perfectly smooth paste, put
the mixture into saucepan with little
more of the liquid, and let it simmer
gently for ten minutes. When finished,
the panada should be slightly thicker
than good cream. 1t will keep quite
fresh and sweet for three or four days,
and can be heated, few spoonfuls at a
time, and served poured over slice of
nice, crisp, not toast, or in very tiny
dish with sippets of toast inserted round
about. Nothing more quickly destroys
the capricious appetite OF an invalid than
having a large dish of anything, no
matter how dainty, set before them; they
require to eat often, but only very little

A New Game FOr Chnrch FnIrs.

"Changing the leopard spots" is the
newest scheme in church fairs. The
minister stretches large piece of white
cloth across one end of the room. On il
is drawn in charcoal a representation of
a leopard, with its mouth open and its
tail trailing on the ground. About forty
pieces of circular black cloth a couple Of
inches in diameter are fastened all over
the leopard with pins. ''Can the leopard
change his spots~ says tine preacher,
repeating the BibliC al question. 1t can
by a simple process. Each one in the
congregation pays 81 and buys a spot
until the leopard resembles white calf.
Then the game is repeated until every
body, including the leopard, is perfectly
satisfied with the result Chicago Herald.

THE TWO BROTHERS.
(From the Tdimud.)

In Palestine long years ago.
So runs the legend DID,
Where Kedron's sparkling waters flow
Across their sands of gold,
And Mount Moriah lifts his head
Above the sunny plain,
Two brothers owned-as one-'tis said,
A field of golden grain.
And when the autumn days had come
And all tho shocks and sheaves
Stood waiting for the "harvest home"
Among the whitening leaves,
The elder brother said one night:
''l'm stronger far than Saul,
My Younger brother, tits but right
That should give him all
These sheaves upon the plain
We own together, so
Ill put with his my stacks of grain,
And he will never known
Scarce had he left the sheaves of wheat
When quietly there came
Across the field with stealthy feet,
And errand just the same
The younger lad, who said: ~ sec
My brother Simon's need
lsgreater far than mine for he
Hath wife and child to feed;
And so to him III give my sheaves,
1t is but right, know
And he will never think who leaves
These wheat stacks on his row!n
Next morning when the brothers twain
Began to count their store,
Behold each found his stacks Of grain
To number as beforel
why how is this" in great surprise
Each to himself then said-
I'm watch to night and see who tries
These tricks when I'm abed,
And so, half way across the plain
They met-each one bent DER
with shocks and sheaves of golden grain
To swell his brother storel
Good Saul and Simon Would to-day
More brothers might be found
Who seek each others good alway,
And in kind deeds abound.

SOLD TO STRANGERS.

The worn out blinds hang loosely,
The paint has nearly gone,
The creaking gate swings idly,
The old place looks forlorn;
The myrtle mound is grass-grown,
That blossomed years ago,
And one by one have vanished
The flowers used to know.
The ancient tree whose cherries
Rejoiced my childish heart,
Stands lifeless, grim and groaning;
The arbor's dropped apart
That arbor in the garden
Where honeysuckles twined;
The once broad path that led there
Is now but ill-defned.
The deer, quaint old mansion,
1t held our kith and kin
For eighty years and over,
Till they were gathered in.
And now it goes TO strangers;
Its glories all are fed
Since those who built the hearth-iire
Are numbered with the dead
While we who loved it fondly
Must give a parting sigh,,
A farewell look, and sadly
Forever pass it by.
And still the fragrant lilies
May bloom beside the door,
But strangers footsteps echo
Aero the oaken floor

Dampening and Ironing Clothes.

Dampening and Ironing Clothes.
The clothes should be gathered as
soon as dry on windy days, as an hours
whipping and switching in the wind
will wear them more than weeks of or.
dinary usage.
Dampen the night before ironing by
sprinkling each piece, which should be
lightly rolled up, and then placed In the
basket.
Io not dampen fine starched clothes
until an hour or two before ironing
them, as they will be less stiff if damp a
longer time. Dampening collars, cuffs
and shirts is an important feature of the
polishing, as they must be timber but
not wet. For collars and cuffs procure a
thin piece of clokh--cheese-c cloth is best
perhapS-wet it and wiring it out. Then
begin near one end Of it, to lay on it a
cuff; then fold over the end without
bending the cuff, lay on another piece,
fold again and so continue until all the
cuis and collars are wrapped in the
damp cloth. They will he ready fol-
polishing in about an hour.
To dampen shirts, lay damp cloth
over the bosom, sprinkle the rest of the
Sh'le ilEhtlOb i'll L ohu pAhSS WIN NllC
collars and cuffs.
The ironing table should be covered
with thick blanket and clean white
sheet. There should also be a shirt
board six feet long and eighteen inches
wide covered with two or three thick
nesses of cloth, in order to iron dresses
and skirts nicely, A bosom board is in
dispensable this should be nine inches
by eighteen inches, planed very smooth,
and covered with single thickness of
cotton.clotb.
Keep the smoothing irons clean, and
free from rust by securing them well
occasionally with powered emory.
1t is to be hoped that no one who reads
this is an advocate of the "nOn- ironing"
theory. So sloyenly practice as that
of putting away clothes unironed cannot
be deprecated too severely. Other care
less habits will be sure to follow in the
wake of such violation of the rules of
neltness.
If time is limited and strength made.
quate, economic elsewhere. See that
no garments are soiled and washed un.
necessarily. Have fewer tucks and
rutlles if need be, but do not neglect the
ironing.
Laces and embroideres should be
placed wrong side up over flannel, and
ironed after being carefully smoothed.
Iron the thinner parts of dresses and
other starched garments first, as they
dry soonest; leave gathers and bands
until the last. You'hs COmpaHi0H.

Tnrnninted Floors.

Some months ago the floors of many
Australian garrisons were painted with
tar, and the results have proved so uni
formly advantageous, that the method is
be oming greatly extended in its appli-
cation. The collection of dust in cracks
is thus prevented, and consequent
diminution in irritating diseases of the
eye has been noted. Cleanliness of the
rooms has been greatly facilitated, and
parasites are almost completely ex-
cluded. The coating of tar is incxpen-
sive, requires renewal but once year,
and presents but one disadvantage.
