Here are two recipes for making a

The second dressing is for rainy wealth

ounce of turpentine and a quarter of an

Birds Guided by the stars.

Did you ever venture any conjecture
as to how migratory birds manage to
keep up their flight in d due north di-
reetion after night? It has been proved
that on clear nights they often wing
their northern flight" III the rarifed at
mosphere three miles above the earth S
surface This being true, it is clear that
guidance by the topography of the coun-
try is out of the question. How, then,
are they able to keep their beaks point

ornithologist comes co the rescue with
the declaration that they are guided by
the stars, and in support Of his opinion
cites as evidence the fact that when the
stars are obscured by clouds the birds
become bewildered and at once seek the
ground.-St. Louis Republic.

The international complication at

what of puzzle TO newspaper readers
not particularly well posted in Central
American affairs. It was well enough
understood from the dispatches that the
Nicaraguan government or its represent
ative, General Lacayo, had overthrown
tbs Mosquito government, but Just why
the United States and England should
ges mixed up IN the affair was not cas-
liz apparent TO those who did not know
that England has for years asserted d
virtual proteetorate over the Mosquito
Indians, and that American citizens had
developed practically all the industries
and commerce OF the country.
Though the Mosquito country is with
in the territorial limits of Nicaragua,
the Indians, who have occupied it frem
time inmemorial, have always been
practically independent and have been
absolutely SC since 1860, when England
made treaty with Nicaragua by which
they were guaranteed the right of self
government. Under this treaty the Mic
araguan government was permitted TO

OUTBREAK FEARED.
Trouble Again Liable to Spring Up
in Cripple Creek.
MINES LOADED WITH DYNAMITE.
The Mine Owners Have Decided Not to Ar
bitrate - Country About Bull Hill
Patrolled by the Strikers-Party
to Meet Deputies.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, May 2o.-If
trouble breaks out again, and it is inn
possible to see how it can be avoided,
the results bid fair to be far more ter
rible than those already witnessed.
of by the sheriffs to increase their
forces. Nearly 400 men have been re-
cruited in Denver, and only await the
slightest outbreak to be forwarded to
Cripple Creek and be sworn in as depu-
ties.
The strikers seem to have taken cour-
age from the action of Gov. Waite and
affect to believe that the militia would
tend to aid them in carrying out their
purposes. Be this as it may. the entire
district is terrorized and the strikers,
being encouraged by the temporary
withdrawal of the deputies, are becom-
ing bolder and more imperative and
intolerant. There is no danger that
non-partisan will be fired upon without
first being warned, but when ordered
to stop it means that he must stop just
where his feet are resting. 1t is but a
step from this attitude to one of most
the camps fear the outcome.
All yesterday strikers were search
ing for arms and ammunition in the
mining camps, and wherever arms. am
munition or provisions were found,
they were confscated and receipts
given for them. No one about the
camps except strikers are permitted to
carry arms. and the strikers, who reign
supreme. have issued the order that
every able bodied man found in camp
when the real contest comes will be
forced to carry arms in their ranks.
The result is that many people are
moving away from the camps to the
city of Cripple Creek and elsewhere.
Town and county officials are unable
to do anything in the face of such an
overwhelming number of desperate
men.
Parties of men who are in sympathy
with the mine owners have gone to
Midland, where they will meet the
deputies and conduct them through
the best routes to the strongest points
about the scene of trouble. A large
party of strikers has also gone toward
Midland to meet the deputies and re-
tard their progress as much as possible.
The country about Bull hill, the strik-
ers' stronghold. for s miles square is
held and patrolled by the strikers.
The mine owners have decided not
to arbitrate differences with the min
ers and trouble may begin any mo-
ment.
Information last night was that even
had the strikers been driven from the
camp the men who took their places at
the mines would be in immediate peril.
Every mine in the camp over which
there has been trouble is loaded"
Large quantities of dynamite have
been stored in the shafts back of the
timbcring by the strikers and hidden
wires attached to these charge. in such
a manner that they can be exploded
and every person in the mines instantly
killed, while the men. who start the
battery remain out of sight

SMALL DUTIES.
Obligations of the Minor Order That Should
Re Performed.

Be Performed.
A distinct mark of good breeding
which young girls are apt to treat
rather lightly is what we may call the
small social obligation.
Every girl who has been well
brought up will of course perform her
important duties, be they social or
otherwise. She will call to see her
friend who has been in trouble. She
could not fail to answer promptly in
writing any written invitation, or to
return first visit in due time, whether
the acquaintance offered her be ac-
ceptable or not, but there are thou
sand and one slight occasions constant
ly arising which one, unless she is
quite punctilious in such matters, as
she should be, is apt to fail to recog-
nize as obligations.
There is no courtesy that may with
good taste be either accepted or de-
clined without polite acknowledge
ment. The receipt through the mails
of newspaper addressed by a friend,
and containing marked paragraph of
interest to either or both. should be
answered promptly by note, unless,
for instance, the recipient should hap
pen to have another paper or maga-
zine holding some further notice of the
same subject. In that case the send
ing of this, with article marked, would
be a graceful and sufficient acknowl-
edgment of the first.
Ordinary notes of regrets sent in
answer to formal invitations need, of
course, no reply, being themselves
final answers. But when a friend de-
clines an invitation, assigning as reason
for SO doing that her little brother has
fallen and broken his collar-bone, or
that she herself has met with an acci-
dent, an early note expressing regret
and interest-or a visit, il the degree
of intimacy justifies it's absolutely
ligatory.-Harper's Young People.
