USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Eat neither very hot nor cold food
| The best temperature is about that OF
she body. Avoid exposure to cold after
eating.
"A great many persons. especially
women, are hurt by too much bathing.
Inc temperature of the water to be used
Should be that of water that has stood
In ones bed room.
BE careful to avoid excess in eating.
Eat no more than the wants of the sys-
tenn require. Sometimes less than is
really needed must be taken when di-
gestlon Is very weak. Strength depends
not on what is eaten, but on what is di-
gested.
Every one is occasionally wakeful, on
account OF becoming more or less excited
or worried" before retiring. In such
cases, those measures are generally ef-
fectual which distract attention, and so
relieve the brain. All know the sooth-
ing effects Of music, and even of monot-
onous sounds, such as are made by the
wind.
Pare and slice raw potatoes rather
thin. Take of butter. or lard, or good
fryings, one tablespoonful or just
enough to keep the potatoes from stick
ing to the pan, and heat smoking-hot in
an iron pan. Put the sliced potatoes in,
adding salt, and bake in hot oven un-
til done, stirring occasionally.-Rural
New Yorker.
On the subject of chest protectors:
one physician who was interviewed said
that he did not like them, but that
since some need great deal Of extra
covering for their chests he was in the
habit of recommending the wearing of a
simple piece of flannel. This has, at
least, the one advantage over a chest
protector, that it can be frequently
changed and washed.
The indiscriminate use of mineral
waters is said to be very harmful. They
put too much salts in the blood, and
this has to 60 of through the kidneys,
stimulating them altogether too much.
Mineral waters are useful at times, and
the less frequently they are used the
more beneficial they are. If INDUCED
in, they had better be the saline waters,
such as the apollinaris and settlers,
rather than the alkaline like vichy.
Maple Cream Walnuts.-Take one
cupful of water and two cupfuls of ma
pie sugar; cook without stirring, and
when nearly done put in small piece
of butter; try in water, and when it be-
gins to harden take off and stir rapidly
until it becomes a waxen substance;
then make in balls and put halves of
English walnuts on either side, putting
on creased plate to cool.-Albany
Journal.
The usual means for keeping the
neck warm are by very light goods, with
large meshes like woven worsted, which
best serve the purpose. But covering is
not desirable if it can be avoided. Many

of clean shaver cheeks and chin, pru-

And never should have let her, I'd known
she meant to stay;
And at home it's just 50 lonesome that don't

For can't quit thinking Of her, waking and
a-sleepilg, too;
And at school faint any better for m lone
some everywhere.
To think OF going home at evening, and not
firding Allie there.
But s'pose III always be so-lonesome all my

And TO think it's every bits his fault-that

Seems to me the sun shines lonesome, when it q

And the wind blows low and sad-like-Allie
called it "evening breeze"
And the bumblebees a-buZzing in the honey
suckles there,
Sound SO lazy-lke and mournful-'twasn't so
when she was here.
Yesterday how much missed her. whensI broke
my bran-new kite;
Shed have fixed it-and missed her when my
sums wouldn't come out right,
For I'm ciphering in fractions and they're awful
hsr1 to do,
IAN about the numerators and denomnators,
too.l
But ma thought was just a-crying cause the
sums was hard and so
didn't tell her any better-Whatf Is Allie
dead: o no,
Course she isn't; didn't tell you that she's
only gone away?
But never, for minute, thought that she was
going to stay.
I'll just tell you how it happened, Frank De-
pew-that's Allies beau
He's been coming here to see her for six months
or 50;
And used to somehow like him-but hate
him now o dear!
All his folks live down to Richmond; he's been

Frank was going back to Richmond after the

For you know it is the fashion, and not very

So kept it all q secret just as had promised
That sis meant to have q wedding with her fell

Well it's over now; it happened just about .
month ago;
Allie had splendid wedding-with her brides
maids and her beau
Then she went with Frank somewhere-to SEQ
the honeymoon, pa said
And didn't come home no more, but went to
Richmond though, instead;
And yesterday her letter read: Were to make
our home down here,
And Johnniell come and stay with us, his vaca
ton every year."
Now, I'd like TO know for certain II it's really,
truly so,
That Allie means to leave her folks, and live in
Richmond-with her beau,

CATCHING A TURKEY.

How the Wild Birds are Killed with 8
Stick from Horseback.
The wild turkey is a famous runner,
and relies more upon his legs than upon
his wings when pursued. When the birds
are found upon the open prairie, there
fore, the chase, for man on horseback,
becomes really exciting. Colonel Dodge
says that in Texas, many years ago, he
used occasionally to kill them with stick
from horseback. A flock being discovered
on prairie two or three miles across, a
detour was made, and the horseman,
coming up from the wood, rushed with
yell at the birds, frightening them SO
badly that some would fly to the open
prairie.
The first fight was from four hundred
to six hundred yards, depending on the
weight and fairness of the bird. Alight-
ing, he ran at full speed. At the end of
his first flight he would probably be two
hundred or three hundred yards ahead
of the horseman, but this distance was
soon lessened after he alighted.
On the near approach of his pursuer,
he would essay another fight. This
time scarcely one hundred or two hun
dred yards. A third fight generally
finished all wing business, and his
further efforts at escape were confined
to running and lodging. A stick four
feet long and as large as ones finger was
carried by the hunter, and as the turkey
turned to avoid the horse, smart blow
on the head finished it's life and the race.
In this way one day killed two tur-
keys, and brother officer three, from
one flock.
Some days after, another officer from
the same post went out riding with his
wife. Coming on flock of turkeys in
a favorable position, he proposed that
they should catch one.
After an exciting chase, fine, large
bird was run down SO that he could
scarcely move, and confined himself
solely to avoiding the feet of the horses.
The officer had no stick to kill with,
and in his excitement, thinking he
could easily catch bird so exhausted,
he sprang from his horse, and took after
the turkey on foot. He ran his best, but
the bird ran just fast enough to avoid
his clutch. and finally, when utterly
blown and exhausted he gave up the
chase, he turned to see his horse disap-
pearing in the distance, and his wife on
her horse in full pursuit of the runaway.
He had to walk about eight miles to
the post, and for some months it was
not quite safe to say turkey" to him.

HELD FOR RANSOM.
An Exciting Experience With Aus
tralian Bushwhackers.

We had been out from Melbourne two
days, journeying toward the new town
of Murray City, on the Murray river,
and we were only two miles from a post
station, where guard of mounted
police had their headquarters, when the
driver OF the stage or wagon suddenly
brought his horses to dead stop. This
was in the days of thirty years ago, be-
fore any part of Australia was half
civilized by the English, and before the
big island had been half surveyed.
There were plenty of bushrangers
haunting every highway, and every
stage was usually accompanied by a
guard. In our case five of us had put
together and hired a private conveyance.
1t was one of the usual stages, but
making n special trip for our benefit.
OF the five, three were Englishmen
going up to the valley of the Murray to
locate land, the fourth was an Ameri-
can who had been in the country two
years; and 1 had landed in Melbourne
only the week before. My compatriot
was named Davis widower, and hehad
his only child along-a bright little
girl eight years old. He was going to a
sheep ranch in partnership with friend
already settled, and he could not bear to
leave his child behind him in the town.
The five of US were all we'll armed,
and every hour since leaving Melbourne
we had been ready to defend ourselves
As we had met with nothing to alarm
us thus far, and as we knew we were
close upon station, no one was pre-
pared for what happened. The stage
had NO sooner stopped than two men
came up on a side, covered us with re-
volvers. and gruff voice announced:
''Now, then, the first move and of
goes yer heads! Step out here one by
one!"
was the first one out. 1t was just at
shutdown, and on a portion of the road
between two ridges. The two men on
that side were rough, unkempt, desper-
ate-looking fellows-fair samples of the
other two-and the instant saw them
knew that we were in for trouble. When
we were all out they ordered the dri Ter
to turn into blind road to the right,
and we followed after the wagon. As
we were ordered to follow the vehicle
the leader of the gang said:
mo foolishness, now! The four of us
have got our pistols looking right at
yer
After going thirty rods we were as
well hidden from the highway as if we
had gone ten miles, and we were
brought to halt in little glade As
there were five to four, you may wonder
that we did not make break. The first
man who had moved to pull his revolv-
or would have been shot in the back.
Davis could not have been counted on
anyhow, As the anxiety for his child
took all the fight out of him. The
driver, If not in league with the rang
ers was at least treated as neutral
While he was armed, he took matters so
coolly that he was out of the scrape.
: The Ave Of US were placed in . row. and
while three men stood behind US the
fourth disarmed US and went through
our pockets. We were poverty -strick-

wonders Of Our Coal Fields.

1t takes prodigious amount of vege-
table matter to form layer of coal; it
being estimated that the present growth
of the world would make layer less
than one-eighth of an inch in thickness,
and that it would take million years
of vegetable growths to form a coal-bec
10 feet in thickness. The United States
has an area of more than 40, 900 square
miles of coal fields, and more than 1OO,-
600, 900 tons of coal were mined in this
country last year, enough to run . ring
around the earth at the center five and
. half feet wide and five and half feet
thick. Competent scientists say that
there is enough coal in the United
states to supply the world for the next
1000 years.-St. Louis Republic.
