A Curious Badge of Honor

Son after the Canadian Pacific Rail.
way had reduced the Journey between
the far northwestern provinces of the
Dominion and the capital from half q
year or so to a week, a Blackfoot Indian
Chief, who had been converted by mis-
%sionaries, taught to speak English and
civilized one or two degrees, was easily
induced to make a tour of the older pro-
vinces of the country about the time the
annual missionary collection was being
taken up in the churches. 1t was justly
calculated that his appearance at mis-
sionary meetings in various churches Of
the denomination which secured him
would stimulate interest in the work.
The chief entered into the idea with
enthusiasm. He set out from his far-off
reservation in his native costume, but
before he had been in the towns MANY
days he acquired an ambition to wear
the white mans clothes. The people
who had him in charge coaxed him to
retain his Indian garb, fearing that the
picturesqueness of their change would
be destroyed by the change. But the
chief was stubborn and had his way. On
the night chosen for his appearance be-
fore an Ottawa audience he came on the
platform dressed in Prince Albert coat,
broadcloth trousers, prunella CATERS,
lowered waistcoat, white shirt, a gaudy
handkerchief around his neck and a bat
tered brass warming pau in his hand,
which he carried with considerable
pomp.
The audience enjoyed him and his
kettle immensely. At first nobody I'M
derstood why he carried it. Then it was
explained in an interval during which
the chief was got out Of the hall into a
dressing room. A Hudson Bay Com
pany agent who had got into a tight
place up in Rupert's Land, as the region
was called then, and had been rescued by
this chief looked about his post for some
thing with which to reward the Indian.
He had traded all his stuff for skins and
could find nothing left which he could
spare, except his brass warming pau
which had been sent out to him by an
affectionate but deluded maiden aunt in
England. Arguing that it would please
the heather anyway, he polished it up
ana presented it with great formality,
telling him that it was a mark of high
distinction among white men to own such
an article, and that few among them had
attained that honor.
The chief was delighted. He carried
it with him on all special occasions and
any effort to explain the true circun-
stances to him was repulsed as lies, for
the Indian could not be persuaded that
they were anything else but covetous at
tempts to get his badge of distinction
from him.--New York Tribune.

left a number of bottles to be used after
she had gone. Returning to the village
some months after, the missionary was
met by the head man of the community,
who cheered and delighted her by this
intelligence: ssTeacher, we have come
over to your side; the medicine did us
SO much good that we have accepted

The recent loss OF an eye BIZ Prince

through the bad aim of his brother.in-

some similar misfortunes. Napoleon I,

Rivoli and Prince of Essling. Massena,
however, was ever a greater courtier1

that the shot had come from the gun of
Marshal Berthier. Berthier at once de-
clared himself the cause of his comrades

Our Biggest t3un.

The twelve-inch breech-loading rife
which has just been sent overland from
Washington to San Francisco, CAL, to
form a part of the armament of the new
armor-clad coast-defender MONTEREY,
represents the biggest achievement in
gupmaking yet undertaken for the United
States Navy. Then new gun is SO big that
it bad to have a steel girder car built
especially for il. The gun weighs a triie
ever fifty tons, is thirty-six feet long and
will hurl a projeetile weighing $50
pounds. The propulsivc power OF this
tremendous missile is furnished by a
charge of 450 pounds of brown powder;
the velocity is 1941 feet per second and
the muzzle energy as shown by tests
made is ~, AGO foot tons. Equipped
with two of these monsters and two ten
inch rifles like that of the Miantonomoh,
the Monterey viii be one of the most for
midable coast defensive battleships ever
constructed. The Bethlehem Iron Works
and Garne9iej Phipps 8 Co. are working
nights shifts of men in order to complete
her armor plates on time. Itis cheering
to know that in two months the Pacific
coast will be protected by a vessel able
to fight anything that foats.-New York

It is not only in the United States,
learns the New York Post, that default
ers continue to live lu~xuriously on small
incomes without exciting suspicion. Herr
Piufsich, who committed suicide the
other day after robbing the Budapest
(Hungaryl Savings Bank of $500, 900,
had been stealing right and left for
years. He bought an estate, built a
magnifceny1chateau upon it, entertained
guests in princely fashion, subEidized a
theatre for the amusement OF himself
and his friends without a penny of hon
est money to his C. dit outside an ex-
ceedingly modest salary. And yet no.
body thought of suspecting him or ex-
emining his books, although he was
cashier of the establishment, When he
shot himself, and the truth came out,
everybody was profoundly astonished. A
clearer case of directors who did not

sand-storrns Of the American Desert.

As would be inferred from its TEN.
perature, the desert is a land of fearful
winds. When that volume of hot air
rises by its own lightness, other air from
the surrounding world must rush in to
take its place; and as the new ocean of
atmosphere, greater than the Mediter-
ganean, pours in enormous waves into its
desert bed, such winds result as few in
fertile lands aver dreamed of. The
Arabian simoom Is not deadlier than the
saud-storm of the Coronado Desert (as
the lower half of this region is generally
called). Express trains cannot make
head against it-nay, sometimes they
are even blown from the trackl Upon
the crests of some of the ranges are hun
dreds of acres buried deep in the fine,
white sand that those fearful gales scoop
up by carloads from the plain and lift
on high to fling upon the scowling peaks
thousands of feet above. There are no
snow drifts to blockade trains there; but
it is frequently necessary to shovel
through more troublesome drifts of sand.
Man OF beast caught in one of those
sand-laded tempests has little chance of
escape. The man who will lie with his
head tightly wrapped in a coat or
blanket and stiie there until the fury of
the storm is spent, may survive; but
woe to the poor brute whose sweet feet
cannot bear it betimes to a place of
refuge. There is no facing or breathing
that atmosphere of alkaline sand, whose
lightest Whit in1ames eyes, nose and
throat almost past endurance.-St
Nicholas

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
HOW TO MAKE BREAD.

After twenty years. practical expert
nee in handling dough I have no hest,
fancy in saying that for making bread OF
the choicest quality-bread that is sweet,
nuttv-favored and nutritious-there is nc
| simpler, easier or better method than the
one I follow, writes Emma p. Ewing.
This is the formula:
To each pint of luke-warm wctting,
composed of sweet milk aud water mixed
in equal proportions, [ add half a tea
| spoonful of salt and a half-ounce cake OF
some reliable compressed yeast, thor.
| oughly dissolved in a little cold water,
and stir in -four with a wooden spoon
until q dough is formed of sufficient con.
sistency to be lifted in a mass from the
mixing bowl to the moulding board,
where I work in flour until it becomes
smooth and elastic and ceases to stick to
the fingers or the mouldin& board. |
then put the dough into a garm, we'll
creased earthern bowl, brush Sghtly with
melted butter, cover with a bread towel
and blanket and set to rise for three
hours or until light, when | form it into
loaves or rolls, put in creased pans, brush
and cover as before and set to rise for an
hour or until light.
Put these loaves in an oven whose
temperature is about $50 degrees, or in
which a spoonful of flour will brown
nicely in two minutes, and when thor.
oughIy baked take them from the oven,
remove from the pans and place IN such
position as will expose the greatest
amount of surface to the fresh air and
allow any gas Or steam that may be in
them to escape and thus prevent their
sweating and becoming soft.
Dough that is made with good -four
and yeast and mixed and kept at a tenn
perature CT seventy-five degrees-which
is the correct temperature for perfect
bread making-wili almost invariably
become light in a mass in three hours
after being set to rise the first time and
in loaves in one hour after being set to
rise the second time, and will usually be
ready to bake in four hours from the
time the yeast is mixed with the flour.
A loaf of bread weighing from a pound
and a quarter to a pound and a half, to
be thoroughly baked, requires to remain
in the oven when at the proper tempera'
ture from forty-tive to sixty minutes.
never use sugar or grease in bread,
as they both detract from the quality
and flavor, but people who persist in hay
ing their bread and rolls ''shortened"
with butter or lard, stated approximately
as one measure of wetting and three and
a half or three and three-quarters meas
ures of -four; and a pint of wetting,
which weighs a pound, is usually suffi-
Gent to make dough enough for two
loaves of bread that will weigh from a
pound and a quarter to a pound and a
half each, according to the brand of Rour
used.-Chicago News.

Satisfy.

This excellent winter vegetable, says
Eliza r. Parker in the Courier-Journal,
is not as generally used as it should be.
1t is not only nourishing and wholesome,
but is very palstable, and may be pre-
pared in 9 variety of ways. From its
similarity in flavor to the oyster, it is
called oyster plant, and when made into
soup or fried in butter is quite similar
to fresh oysters. It IS not at all diff
cult to cultivate, and may be left in the
ground and dug as wanted, or taken up
in the fall and slowed away in the cellar
for winter use.
Dreamed Salsify-scrape one dozen
satisfy roots and throw in cold water
for half an hour. Put in a saucepan
of boiling water, and a teaspoon of salt,
and boil thirty minutes. Take up,
drain, cut up, and pour over cream
sauce.
Satisfy Soup-Take one dozen satisfy
roots, scrape, and cut into slices; cove
with boiling water, and boil slowly n
hour add a quart Of milk, Rub two
tablespoonfuis of -four and one of butter
together, add a little mace and nutmeg;
stir into the soup; let boil up once, and
serve.
Fried Salsify-scrape satisfy roots and
boil in salt water until tender; drain,
season with salt and pepper, dip first in
melted butter and then in flour. Put
two tablespoons of lard in a fryingpan,
and when hot put in enough satisfy roots
to over the bottom Of the pan. Fry
brown and turn.
Stewed Salsify-Scrape and wash
clean, cut in pieces, ard soak IN cold
water fifteen minutes; drain, put in a
saucepan of boiling water add a tea
spoon Of salt, and boil fifteen minutes.
When done drain, put in cold water,
while making sauce. Put ona table
spoonful of butter in a f~rying-pan, let
melt, add II tablespoon of four, and
mix until smooth; add half a pint of
milk, and stir until 1t boils; pour in
half a cup of the water in which the
satisfy was boiled; season with salt and
pepper, put in the satisfy, let heat, and
take up.
Baked sa~lsify-scrape, boil in salt
water, and mash. Serve with salt, pep
per and butter. Put in a baking dish.
Beat an egg in a cup Of cream, to which
add a cup of stale bread crumbs. Put
in the oven and bake brown.
Mock oysters-Wash and scraps sal.
sify roots, boil IN salt water until tender
and mash; add two beaten eggs, half a
cup of cream, a tablespoonful of butter,
with salt and pepper; make in little
cakes the shape of an oyster, roll in
cracker meal, fry brown and serve very
hot.
Satisfy Frltters -scrape and boil in
salt water. When done, drain and mash
fine. Add half q teaspoon OF salt, two
well-beaten eggs, a pint of milk, a tea
spoonful of baking powder and flour to
thicken. Beat well aud fry in boiling
lard. Drain on brown paper and serve.
Satisfy Salad-Cut off the ends of a
dozen satisfy roots; scrape off the outer
parts; them with cold water; add
q wine-glass Of vinegar. Let stand one
b our, then boil slowly, drain and quar-
ter; lay in a salad dish, pour over plain
salad dressing, and serve very cold.

Sure Way of Drawing q stopper.

One of the small a~nnoyantces of life
occasionally is the attempt to draw an
obstinate glasc stopper. Immersion in hot
water for some minutes is sometimes
e~fficacious, but far from always. A sure
method is to lock q bureau drawer, tying
. cord to handle or key, holding the
other end firmly, and over the taut
cord u rapidly the neck of the OBJ
stinate bottle. In less than two minutes
the glass will be too hot to touch and
will have expanded all around the re-
f~ractory stopper, which will fairly fall
out.
