AMBITIONS A rRArr.

II all the end OF this continuous striving
We're simply 20 attain.
How poor would seem the planning and con-
irving,
The endless urging and the hurried driving,
oibody, heart and brain
But ever in the wake ot true achieving,
There shines this glowing trail
Some other soul will be spurred on, CON
ceiving
New power and strength, in its own self be-
lieving
because thou didst not fail.
Sot thine alone the glory nor the sorrow
Ifthou dost miss the goal.
Undresned OF lives in many far to- morrow,
From thes their weakness, or their force
shall borrow;
On, on, ambitious soul

The Tendertoot Got a Valuable Pointer.

One day, while gang of miners
were toiling in gulch near Shasta,
a stranger, evidently ignorant of min
ing, came along. The miner near him
took out five dollar nugget, and
anxiety overcame the strangers re.
tlcence. Say" be asked, "where can
| go to diggin' to find it like that"
The hardy miner stopped his work,
and, giving the wink to all the boys,
pointed up to the barren rocks where
no gold had ever been found. "You
see tina: rough-lookin' place." "Yes,"
said :he new hend. "Weii, thar it is
rich. Jes' you stake out claim an
so to work. an when we finish here
We'll come up, too"
Phe new hand thanked tie miner,
ana the boys ali grinned their appre-
ciation of the joke. That afternoon a
solitary figure WAS seen picking on the
rocky hillside, and every time the mi
ners looked up they roared with laugh
ter. But the next day the aew miner
struck pocket and took out several
thousands c. dolls=s il gold. Then he
came and thanked the miner who had
sent him up there, and went down to
the city aud bought houses and lots
and things, while the other miners
dotted that same rocky hillside for
days without finding pocket. Ar.

WHEY IRIS COLD.


When needles arc in your fingers and toes
When icicles hang from the snow-man's nose
When the frost on the pane makes sugsry
trees,
And waeon-wheels over the hard ground
wheeze;
When the toushsned old farmer filings round
his arms
As II he'd throw them across two farms
When ears are rubbed and noses ars red,
And sheets are like Ice In the sp1re-room
bed
When water-p'pes burst, and wells freeze up,
And the tea isn't hot when IL leaves the cup;
When stray dogs coming along the street
Never stand for a second on all four feet !; y
When little boys cry IL they have TO be OUT,
And are heard for full hali-mile IL they
shout q
when .he day IS as clear as the thoughts that
fed
Out into the world from Shakspere's head
When the air about seems "a still as rock,
And q sudden noise is a sud len shock,
And the earth seems deserted, lonely, and
old
You are pretty sur, that h's pretty cold

1 Little ENCOURAGEMENT.

There's nothing like giving boy n
little encouragement once in n while, "
said wealthy downtown merchant
the other day. al know | owe a great
deal to remark Grabbed old farmer
made TO me when l was quite small.
81 was trying to split cross-grained
hickory log, and as our wood-pile was
close by the roadside, my efforts at
tracted the notice Of the farmer, who
stopped his team to watch me.
81 was greatly flattered by his at
%Sntion, because he was the crossest
and surliest man in town and never
took any notice OF US boys, except to
sit in his orchard with shotgun in his
hand when the apples were ripe. SO
1 put in my best licks and covered my
hands with blisters, but the log re-
fused to split. The blamed thing
seemed to have no grain to it. 1
hated to be beaten. but apparently
there was no help for it. The old man
.Sticed my chagrin.
'Humph l thought you'd Rev
to give it up' he said, with chuckle
of malicious delight.
"Those words were all | needed.
81 made no reply; but the way that
ax-head went into that log was
revelation to me. As drove it into
the knots they yielded. There was
cheerful crackie; the gap widened, and
soon the two halves lay before me and
the farmer drove of in discontinue.
''But never forgot that scene. When
/ first went into business | made mis-
takes, AS every young man will. But
whenever | got caught in a doubtful
enterprise recollected that my friends
were standing around waiting for the
chance to say: Il thought you'd have
to give it up.
'But they never got the chance. l
knew what they were watching for and
prophesying, and that knowledge gave
me n bulldog determination to carry
the thing through.
''In spite of himself, that old farmer
gave me the keynote of my success.
$50 you see that il boy has any
grit in him he is bound to profit by
the right sort OF encouragement and,
in that connection, may remark that
a wen-plsced sneer is sometimes worth
more than whole barrel of tafiy."-

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Rolls OF old flannel should be ready
for sudden demand.
Open canned fruit an hour or two
before it is needed for use. II is far
richer when the oxygen is thus restored
to it,
II the rollers of n wringer are sticky
or covered with lint pass cloth
dampened with kerosene between
them.
Gum arabic and gum tragacanth, in
equal parts, dissolved in hot water,
make the best and most convenient
muciiage you can keep in the house.
Handkerchiefs too much worn for
ordinary use should find their way to
the "hospital drawer" as old, soft
cloths are always of use in the sick
room.
Persons who travel will find that
cold cream or vaseline will remove the
streaks OF CRIME on their faces with
much greater ease than soap and
water.
When wine is spilled on table linen
sprinkle salt over it thickly before it
is dry, If possible. Vaseline or machine
oil should be washed with soap and
cold water first.

II it must be closed, stand il on the
handle rather than the ferulS.

SERVING OYSTERS.

To scollop oysters use n grating
dish butter it, and cover the bottom
with bread crumbs; then put in a
layer of oysters which you have al
ready drained, add bits of butter and
more bread crumbs, and so on until
you have used all your oysters; the
top layer must be thick bread crumbs,
and the bits of butter must be gener-
ously distributed Pour the oyster
liquor into the dish before the last
layer of crumbs. Bake half an hour
in quick oven.
OF the many ways of serving raw
oysters not one is better appreciated
by bon vivants than the simplest-on
the half shell. Wash well before
opening. pour all the liquor into one
side of the shells. Arrange upon a
large salver and serve with sliced
lemon and pepper vinegar.
When you fry oysters the liquor is
left; boil it and thicken it with some
-four and butter rubbed together, add
n little cream and pour it over hot
toast for breakfast or luncheon
dainty. But be sure you boil it be-
fore setting it away il it is not to ba
used until the next day otherwise il
will not keep fresh.
Any cooked oysters left over may be
added to breakfast hash for giving O
pleasant flavor. New York World.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE CAKE.

In large cities the making of cake il
almost lost art. There are many
reasons for this, first and foremost Of
which is the bakery. Then there
are the women's exchanges, whe-s peo-
pie fancy they can buy just such cakes
as dear grandma used to make, but oh.
what delusion and snare they
proved ""The test of the pudding is
in the eating but the test of bought
cakes, either at bakeries or at ex-
changes, should he left entirely TO
their appearance, for there alone is
their merit. ! have friend who makes
the most delicious cake / ever tasted.
One of the best and easiest made of her
almost endless variety of cakes is what
she calls luncheon cake. This is how
it is made:
One cupful of sugar, half cup of
butter, worked to 3 fine cream; one
egg; one cupful of sweet milk; two
cupfuls of fiour; three tablespoonfuls
of baking powder. Flavor with grated
nutmeg. Bake in shallow pan well
lined with buttered paper.
Sometimes she frosts the top of this
cake and decorates with English wall
nut meats. Then she calls it n recep-
tion cake. Another of her cakes is
what all children love. She calls it
sponge cake.
One large cup of sugar, four eggs
beaten to foam, three tablespoon
fuls of milk, two teaspoonfuls of bak-
ing powder, one large cup of flour;
flavor with lemon.
This makes small cake. IL should
be baked in a shallow, square pan,
and eaten fresh.
Another of her cakes is rich and de-
licious; she calls it wedding cake:
Two pounds of butter, two pounds
of granulated sugar, twelve eggs. Beai
whites and yokes separately. One cup
of New Orleans molasses, three table,
spoonfuls of cloves, one tablespoon
full of mace, two tablespoonfuls of all
spice, one nutmeg grated, four pounds
of dried currants, two pounds of flour
and one heaping teaspoonful of baking
soda. This must be thorougly beaten
and mixed and baked four hours in a
slow oven. To frost it heat up the
whites of four eggs to stiff froth,
add powdered sugar as long as you
can blend it nicely; also add the juice
of one lemon. Spread this over the
top of the cake nearly an inch thick
and around the sides that thickness.
Here you have a cake lit to set be-
fore king. 1t will keep for months.

There have recently been some very
important discoveries of gold in the
West. 1t is stated that at Cripple
Greek, Col, gold ore worth $1,000 a
ton has been found, but its quantity
is as yet unknown. Several other
valuable new mines are reported and
some of the old ones are to be re-opened
in the hope that improved methods of
working the ores will make them
profitable. The Atlanta Journal called
attention recently to the fact that tho
gold regions of Georgia and North
Carolina are attracting the attention
OF practical miners. There are millions
of gold in this region and we expect
to see the gold product of the South
greatly increased.
