Eusope's Costly Armnmenta.

there Is deficit Of nearly $50, 0o0, 900, about
half OF which II is proposed to cover by re-
funding Of loans nj lower rata Of interest,
and the remaining half Is TO be obtained by
Increased taxation on incomes aud spirits,

A Pleasnnt EntertaInm ment.

A Dickens evening was given lately
at an entertainment for charity. 1t
consisted of tablcaux, ns Nell and her
grandfather, the Dombey children on
the seashore. Miss IIaviham, etc, and
dialogues taken literally from the nov
els. These were Mrs. Nicl<leby and
Kate with the mad gen ntleman, Dick
Swiveller and the marchioness, and
David, Mrs. Dick and Miss Trotvood.
This list could be extended almost in
definitely, and, even with the rawest
of anna teur actors, the gay fun of some
of these scenes would go we'll. 1t is to
be doubted whether Dickens pathos
might not better be left to trained
actors, or, as was done here, only sug-
gested by tableaux.

Some claim that food cooked by
steam IL more nutritious and whole
some than cooked in any other man
ner. While not agreeing exactly with
this statement, 1 do think that many
dishes are more pals table when cooked
by steam. In the steam cooker, which
i have tried and found satisfactory,
there is perforated disk which hts
into the kettle in three different posi-
tions;. this divides the space into Is
below, 1z below. or y below the disk,
according to its position. There Is also
ar extension tin top, much like an or.
dinary steamer, to be used when cook
ing large quantities or many kinds at
once. There is q pipe down one side
Of the kettle, through which the super
fluous steam is discharged into the
stove. No odor from the cooking food
escapes into the room, for the joint be-
tween the kettle and cover is sealed
with water.
The steamer is large enough for .

thus cooked should be eaten warm. al
it does not keep moist and tender like
that baked In the ordinary way. Rice,
oatmeal and the like are cooked to
perfection by steam. You do not have
to stir them to keep them from burn

without losing its shape. The many
things that can be cooked In a steam
cooker, from beef tea to first pre-

Look for tho Bright Ray..

A woman with a happy disposition is
far more to man as n wife than the
woman with a great fortune, for riches
take wings. Worldly prosperity he's a
way of altering, and II once money
vanishes the gloomy individual does
naught but sit down and weep, having
no word of encouragement for the hus-
band. on whom the blow falls most
heavily. The happy ydispositioned wife
will sec a way out of tac difficulty or
will accept matters as they are in a
sweet spirit of cheerfulness that en-
dows her husband with n new zeal and
causes him to look upon her as tho
guiding star OF his existence. If God
has not given you such a disposition
cultivate it as far as possible. 1t does
no good to brood over ones troubles.
It doesn't help matters out a bit. Be
on the lookout for bright rays and you
will certainly find them.

COYOTE FARMING IN KANSAS.

Establishing New Iodusery
For years the western pratrtes have
been fruitfu1 In the production of that
deet-footed nuisance, the coyote. Sur
passed in speed only by the antelope
and particularly fast it ia
practically secure from HARM In or
der to keep down their rapidly increas-
ing numbers. the Kansas Legislature
authorized in 1880 the Offering by coun.
ties Of q bounty for wolf scalps. Near.
ly every county in the state seized the
opportunity and gave, in order to pro-
tect hocks and chicken yards . res
ward of three to four dollars per scalp
The result has been astonishing. Men
have discovered that it paid better to
hunt wolves than to raise crops, and
several frontier counties have paid
from three to four. Thousand dollars a
year in bounties, the total in the state
reaching sixty thousand dollars, with
no apprecia BILE diminution in the coyote
supply.
This fact puzzled the commissioners
of several counties until it was dis
covered that farmers were making a
business of raising wolves for the
bounty to be secured by means of wire
fence enclosures with ample burrowing
marvellous rapidity. The growth of a
family of kittens can alone be COM
pared to them. For feed. the cheapest
of meat is sufficient, and as nothing is
required but the scalp in order to draw
a bounty, the carcasses of the killed

sheep that the prairie farmer can
raise can scarcely be sold for more than
two dollars To produce several litters
of wolves year, each member of
which is worth from three to four dol
lars exclusive of skin and carcass, is, it
is seen, remunerative.
These wolf raisers also supplement
their home supply by constant hunting.
on the plains. Parties are formed
which surround creek valleys and
ravines, cheating the brush" with. as
much skill as thetrained retainer. and
capturing, dead or alive, dozens of the
lank, gray creatures. Thesformer go
to swell the cash account of the hunt
ers and deplete that of the county
treasury. while the latter are added to
the supply on the wolf farm.
Probably the most renunerative
hunting is that by means of half-mile
wires introduced by q New England
sportsman this winter on the prairies
of western Kansas. Hitching Il team
to each end of a half-mile strand of
buffalo grass, with a row of sportsmen,
their guns ready for instant use, scat
tered behind it in long row. The
coyotes, rabbits, foxes and pra irie dogs,
crouching low in their fancied security,
are aroused from their hiding places
and go scurrying here and there ahead
of the remorseless wire. When the
cava lcade has made a half-day's prog
ress the wire is swung around and an
other course taken homeward. Parties
have in this way killed as many as a
thousand jack rabbits in a single day
and sent them to the charitable socie-
ties of western cities The harvest of
coyotes has also been large, and the
bounties received have made good re-
