DOGS AND WOLVES.
An Experience Which Shows Natural
Enmity Between Them.

Ishtnlty f'etWeeh lhtIh'
"Although the wolf and the dog are
said to have been originally of the same
family | am inclined to doubt it" said
resident of Council Bluffs. my ex-
perience proves that there is a natural
onmity between them, and that these
animals seldom encounter each other
without battle. If the wolf comes off
victorious he at one devours his adver-
sary, but if the tide of battle turns the
other way the dog leaves the VOLTS
carcass unmolested. A VOLTS great
strength is in the muscles of his
jaw and neck, and he always seizes
his prey by the throat. After a deep
fall of snow they are usually the most
ferocious. If d wolf during a fight
becomes smeared with the blood of his
victim or if he gets wounded so that
the blood flows, his companions will
kill and devour him. A bold, undaunt-
ed presence and defiant aspect general
ly proves good defense when an I'M
mails.
"Years ago, when wolves were more
plentiful out west then they are now,
had an experience with pack of the
varmints which to a spectator would
have appeared most ridiculous, but
which to Inc was anything but funny,
at least while it lasted. | was clear
ing some land not very far from my
cabin, when suddenly l discovered six
or seven lank, hungry-looking wolves
were close upon me. | wanted to run,
but had presence of mind enough not
to do so. Every moment they drew
closer and closer, with their dark
red tongues hanging out between
their cleaning teeth, while they eyed
me in what took to be most menac-
ing manner. All at once it occurred to
me that had heard of a hoy who had
driven back an angry bull out of field
by walking backwards on his hands
and feet. Thinking the same ruse
might work in the present case | deter.

my whole heart into the work, and

and disappeared in the woods.-St

MEATS THAT ARE DANGEROUS.
They Should BE Avoided by Persons Who
Desire Good Digestion.

Ihcy SnOulu 10 Avoided ny PERSONS W no
Desire Good Digestion.
Animal foods are not generally con.
ducive to good color or fine COM
plexion. Milk, eggs, butter and cheese
are exceptions.
Meat once day is sufiiciency for
all children, and for all women who
prefer the spiritual to the sensual type
of beauty. The school of vegetarians
may not be famous for its Venuses and
Apollos, but it is not large con-
tributor to the freak museums.
Many meats are positively danger
Gus. For instance, only giant consti-
buttons have the muscular ability to
digest fresh pork; undigested it is
fruitful source of dyspepsia, tuber-
culosis, scrofula, gastric fever, nervous
ness, and, in fact, all the diseases re-
sulting from inflammation of the gas
trio system. Fresh pork is not a safe
food for any woman to eat unless she
runs a ranch, a steamboat, farm or is
engaged in some equally active pursuit
necessitating outdoor life and muscular

choicest "cure" need the publication OF
fire. Veal is another bad meat, unless
cooked into shreds, and rare mutton is
under suspicion.
While beef is the most nutritious OF
meats properly served, it is often SO
badly served as to uselessly tax the
digestive organs. Much of the hash is
no better than stewed brown paper,
and the fried steak and corned beef OF
the average home dinner would do the
consumer far more good in the garbage
box. Foods that fill the stomach and
foods that feed or nourish it are not
the same. The value of the meat is in
the juice, and nothing else counts.
That is why the trained nursery maids
who get eighty dollars month to keep
infant heirs of complicated estates
from dying, and so annulling legal
documents, never allow the tots to
swallow morsel of course meat, as
beef and mutton are called. There is
more nutriment in piece of broiled
steak the size of spool of thread than
in five-pound piece of picked and
smoked beef.-N. Y. Letter.

That meat should never be placed
directly upon the ice, as it's juices will

How to Repair Floors and Woodwork
Which Are Unsightly.
Your floor has great wide cracks and
rough places, Such q floor is better
painted than stained, although it Is
more trouble to fix it in the first place.
Large cracks should be filed, and this
is tiresome work. Putty is cheap and
easy to get, and you can press it In
with an old case-knife. If the blade
Of the knife is broken off half way 1t
will be even better. Plaster Of paris
fills cracks, too, and when freshly wet
up spreads like putty. Mix 1t up with
little cold water and it is ready for
use, but mix only little at time, as
it hardens rapidly. There is yet an
other mixture which you can make
yourselves, and which Is excellent.
Shred up paper-newspaper or COM
mon wrapping-paper-into bits, and
pour boiling water over it. When it Is
soft stir into it a paste. Drain out the
surplus water and add some glue
about two or three tablespoonfuls to a
quart of the paste-and fill the cracks
with it, being careful to trim off the
tops smoothly. Otherwise your cracks
will make ridges through the paint.
When any of these filings are dry,
your floor is ready for painting. 1t is
best to get the mixed paints that come
prepared for use, or else to get some
kindly painter to mix it for you. 1t
takes quite little judgment and ex-
perience to know when paint is of the
right thickness to spread well. Get the
same painter to select your varnish,
for there are many poor varnishes that
will not dry, and you do not want to
get into any such trouble Dark brown
or red paint mako the prettiest floors,
us the tints can be made to look like
black walnut, or cherry, by cautiously
adding lamp-black. Be sure to wear
your Oldest clothes when you are paint
ing, and do not scatter your paint,
brushes, and pals around. Keep them
as far out of the way and as far out Of
the smell of the family rs possible.
Else everyone will wish you had never
begun to decorate your room. Wear
old loose gloves. They will keep your
hands clean, and perhaps save blisters.

WHOLESOME COOKING.
It Is Essential to the Weil-Being of Every
Member of the Household.


Cooking is in reality a partial diges-
ton of food previous to its introduce
ton into the stomach, 1t is employed
by man alone, and distinguishes him
from all other creatures.
Many articles used as food are entire
ly indigcstible in raw state Some of
the most nourishing Of them are actu-
ally harmful if eaten uncool1ed,
Cooking, to be esteemed science,
must be performed in such way as to
render the raw products of the earth
as easily digested as possibly. BY vir-
tue of such preparation the system is
supplied with the greatest amount Of
nourishment for the least expenditure
of vital energy in the various processes
of the digestive chemistry.
But good cooking must not only
render food digcstible; 1t must make 1t
at the same time palatable. Every
physician recognizes the necessity of
furnishing a convalescing patient with
food That tastes good" Indeed, he
will often allow himself to be over
ruled by the wish Of the patient for
some particular article of food, in the
hope that the tickle appetite may thus
be stimulated and steady demand for
food induced.
Cooking at it's best, therefore, is both
scientific and artistic; scientific when it
best serves the purposes of economy;
artistic when by virtue Of an added
tastefulness, it stimulates the digestive
processes to activity.
1t must always be remembered that
the stomach is not machine, but an
organ extremely sensitive to every
nervous influence, so that the tasteful
ness Of food Is direct aid to digestion.
Those, who, from the necessity Of
their occupation, are sedentary and
confined to the house, arc more sensi-
tive to the effects of coolxing-whole7
some or otherwise-tha those whose
employment takes them out of doors.
The degree of health enjoyed by the
family may often be credited to the in
telligent interest exercised in the
kitchen in favor Of good, wholesome
food, and it is not too much to say
that an accomplished cook may justly
be proud Of an art which so closely
affects the health and well-being Of
the household. Companion.
