The risk of not having cranberries

following directions as safe to insure
success:
''To quart of cranberries add
pint of sugar and half a pint OF cold
water. Cook the cranberries IN the
water, without the sugar, for twenty
minutes, then add the sugar and COOK
them ten minutes longer. Do not add
one drop more of liquid or less OF
sugar, or they will not mold. They
should boil ali the time they are cook
ing. The time during which all article
is coming to the boiling point cannot
be counted in auy rule. The moment
the cranberries are cooked, turn them
into an earthcn mold. A metal mold
will give them bad taste and bad
color. So will cooking them in metal.

WATERING HOUSE PLANTS.

Plants may be injured by too fre-
quently watering the surface OF the
soil. To water thoroughly, when tho
plants require it, is essential, and this
is the proper method. Many plants
when a solid ball of roots is formed,
do not get water enough when it is ap'
piled in the ordinary way, as it runs
off the surface or down through the
pots, next the outside, without wettine
the roots at al, It is a good plan. and
o saving of time, once week, to place
the pots in deep vessel 80 that the
water will come over the tops OF the
pot, and leave them for an hour OF: two,
or until the air bubbles cease. Syrlng'
ing over and under the surface OF the
leaves will not only keep them clean
and free from insects, but will afford
much of the moisture, required. ;s.lt ls
better not to water some plants until
they indicate the need by the droop'
ing leaves: then water thoroughly.

midnight at Limitro station in fog. Two

tered. The wreck took fire from the over
turned engines.

two were seriously injured. The wounded
were taken to Milan and placed IN hospitals.
All the employees Of Limitro station and
numerous citizens fastened to the scene OF
the disaster to lend assistance in rescuing
the injured. s...-
Telegrams were sent to Milan and other
places asking for assistance, and train ar
rived in q short time from Milan with doc
tors to care for the injured and company OF
soldiers to aid in rescuing.
In tho meantime tho rescuing party had
cut away the burning woodwork with axes,
and streams OF water were poured upon the
wreckage, under which q number Of passen-
gers were inextricably iammed. -
Some of the victims met with horrible
deaths, being cremated before the eyes OF
the spectators, who were powerless to help
them owing to the imposslbillty Of removing
the heavy masses of woodwork with which
they were surrounded. Other unfortunates
were only extricated to die In tho arms OF
their reScuerS.
All the injured men were suffering from
burns. and most had broken limbs. In some
cases Immediate amDutation was necessary.

RELIGIOUS READING.
THE SABBATH

There is no land where-an religious obif
cations aside-the Sabbath Is so necessary e
In this country. We should become oarbarf

and distinction, acting upon natures lasneo
by our peculiar institutions into the moH
vehement emulations, wrinkles almost every
brow, and makes anxiety constant presence

citement, lose their distinetness, and mlngio

LITTLE THINGS.

To put the best Of ourselves into the email
ways and words Of every day Is the necessary
and only way to bring out the perfection of
our whole lives. It is good to feel keenly the
dignity and importance Of each word and
deed because each contributes to the perfec-
ton Of the grand whole, Of the working out
of the ideal we are striving for. It 10
good for us all to feel IL in the smallest
.trifes of every day. It is particularly
good for young people to feel It, Whaf
you do today. the way you do 1t, the motive
with which you do it, are Of immense, con-
sequence to you. They involve the meaning
Of your whole life. II you were blocking

INTERNAL AFFAIRS.
Report of Secretary Smith, Of the
Interior Department.

Secretary of the Interior Smith in his
annual report says that during the year nina
additional forest reservations have been
created, making total of fifteen, and en-
bracing an estimated area Of 1903, 440
acres Legislation providing for wise and
comprehensive forestry system is recon-
mended.
The Secretary says that hardship incurred
by applicants at the opening ofthe Cherokee
Strip was an unavoidable result when 80
large crowd. far in excess of the land to be
obtained, was preparing to rush madly upon
it. No care of the department could have
lessened the intense heat or prevented
the sitting dust. The scarcity OF water
was duo to drought, which had dried up
many of the usual sources OF water supply,
and when over rtwenty thousand persons gath
cred in the neighborhood OF a single boothlt
WAS impossible to place all the booths at To-
cations suited for entry and also to find
sufficient water supply. 1t Is believed that,
aside from these hardships, tho plan adopted
was carried out to successful conclusion,
and that it prevented 70 q large extent the
wrongful occupancy Of land by people who
were not entitled to settle thereon, which
marked the first opening Of Oklahoma.
Referring to the Cherokee Indian allot-
ments the Secretary says that he sought un-
successfully to dissuade those representing
the Indians from seeking to select town
sites for speculative purposes. In order to
defeat the plans OF the Indian spectators ne
approved, the allotments made, but fixed
town sites in such a way as to thwart their
schemes.
The payment of Indian depreciation claims
will absorb many millions OF dollars, and
the policy of subiecting the Treasury to this
strain Is questioned.
The recent troubles in the Choctaw Nation
are referred to at length, and the Secretary
urges the prompt passage OF the bill now
pending before Congress extending the
Jurisdiction of the United States Courts IN
the Indian Territory 80 as to include the
right Of removal of all cases where local pre-
judice ls shown, without regard to citizen
ship. '- ... .... J..
The Secretary calls attention to the stop
page of payment Of illegal pensions in Nor.
folk, Va. New Mexico and Iowa, and estt-
mates tho amount saved to be nearly equal
to the salaries of the entire force OF special
examiners, although the work has been In
progress but six months. The Secretary ex.
plains and defends the policy OF suspending
certain persons.
The Secretary says: "T now feel all conf.
dence that every effort Is being conscien.
tiously made to bring tho census to close
and to render it as useful as possible when
finished" It is estimated that an additional
appropriation of $500 900 will be necessary
to continue the work after February 1st.
