WORDs OF -WISDON.

A man that runs away may fight
again.
When a man and woman are married
their romance ceases and their history
commences.
The aim of all intellectual training
for the mass of the people should be
to cultivate common sense.
Trust him little who praises all, him
less who censures all, and him least OF
all who is Indifferent to all.
' Good manners are a part of good
morals, and it is as much your duty
as your interest to practice both.
It is too bad that poor wretch can
be punished for stealing your pocket
handkerchief Or gloves, and that no
punishment can be inflicted on those
who steal your time.
The heroic example of other days is
in great part the source of the cour-
age of each generation; and men walk
up composedly to the most perilous
enterprises, beckoned onward by the
shades Of the brave that were.
Great is the power of a life which
shows that its highest experiences are
its truest experiences, that it is most
itself when it is at its best. What a
piece of the man was, for that shining
instant, it is the duty of the whole
man to be always.
Holy in the German language
heilig-also means healthy. Our Eng.
lish word whole-all of one piece,
without any hole in it's the same
word. You could not, get any better
definition of what holy really is than
healthy-completely healthy. A sound
mind in q sonnd hodv.
A struggle with poverty is a whole

and twenty. The sinews are youne
and are braced to the contest. 1t il
upon the aged that the battle fall
hardly, who are weakened by failing
health, and, perhaps, enervated by
long years of prosperity
Moderation is fear of falling init
envy, and into the contempt whicl
those deserve who become Intoxicated
with their good fortune; it is a vail
ostentation of the strength of ou1
mind; in short, the moderation Of

A NEW SOUP.

1fyou would like to try new soup
that has fine flavor and great deal
of nutriment, shell pint of peanuts,
remove the red, paper-like covering,
and roast the nuts, or you may roast
them in their shells. Grind the nuts
to fine -four or powder in mortar,
Or by rolling them on board. Use
the powdered nuts in cream soup,
made from pint of milk and a pint OF
water, small teaspoonful Of flour and
. large one of butter rubbed together,
and season with salt and white pepper
to taste. The soup may also be made
without milk, using quart of water,
and serving with thin slice or two OF
lemon in each dish. Add the sliced
lemon to the soup just as it goes to the
table and serve hot. The value OF the
peanut as a food has been suggested
by DR.. Furbinger in German medical
journal. He finds, by analysis, that
it contains forty-seven per cent.
albumen and nineteen per cent. of fat
and nitrogeneus extractive. On that
account, he believes, it would be a
good food for the corpulent diabetic
and those subject to disease OF the
kidneys, who have to avoid food con-
tanning much animal albumen. New

Across the Yaqui Country.

Charles T. Naylor, an American
prospector, left the city of chihuahua,
Mexico, eight months ago for a trip
across the Sierra Mad1e Mountains and
through the wild and dangerous coun.
try inhabited by the Yaqui Indians.
Histrip was made in the search Of
silver and gold, aud was the most des-
perate undertaking imaginable. Mr..
MAYORS route from chihuahua was by
way of Tomochic, the town which was
entirely depopulated in an attack
made upon the inhabitants over year
ago by Mexican troops, who massacred
the men, women, and children.
Mr.. Naylor states that in the noun.
tains west of the fated town he came
upon band of about 200 Tomochic
braves who had an almost impenetra-
BILE rendezvous upon which all attacks
of Mexican soldiers had proved futile.
Upon observing that Mr.. Naylor was
an American bent upon a peaceable
mission, he was we'll received. He
spent two weeks with the Tomochics
and then entered the Yaqui country.
It was there that he met with difficult
ties. He was captured by a band Of
Yaqnis and held prisoner several days
pending decision from the chief as to
what disposition should be made of
him. After several solemn councils
by the chief with the other prominent
members of the tribe, Mr.. Naylor was
placed upon a horse and with two
wounded Indians as guards was started
across the country toward the west.
He passed through number of vii
lagos and was never permitted to tar
~ longer than one night at a single
place.
At the western confines of the Yaqui
country his guards left him and he
made his way with great difficulty
across the mountains to Hermosillo.
Mr.. Naylor tells some marvellous sto-
ries of the mineral richness of the
Yaqui country and states that the
number of members of the Yaqui tribe
has been greatly underestimated. He
claims to have seen fully 5000 armed
braves. Some of the Indian towns
contain handsome chapels and build
ings, all of Aztec architecture. Mr..
Naylcr is the first white man that is
known to have crossed the Yaqui
country. There have been numerous
attempts made, but the Yaquis always
interfered. This is the only tribe in
Mexico which has never been con-
quered. Chicago Times.

The Servant Was Willing.

A lady, whose Christian name was
Jane, and who had o little daughter
named for her, was engaging house
maid, whose name also proved to be
Jane.
Knowing that the preponderance OF
the one name in the household would
occasion confusion, she said to the maid
"a tall, angular spinster, with high
cheek bones and angular features:
Il believe that it would be better
for us all if called you by Your last
name, if you do not object.

hundreds of them in drove would be.
They make raids On the farmers wheat
field, orchard and vegetable garden
and do a great deal of damage with
their sharp teeth.
The means by which the country is
partially rid of these little pests is
known as q rabbit drive, in which all
the neighborhood assists; the men and
boys attending to help, and their wives
and sisters to look on. An event OF
the kind is of no little Importance.
By IL o'clock On day set for such IN
expedition the crowd has gathered neal
a corner of the section to be driven,
where the men and boys are soon busy
making the pen.
This is done by fastening wire net
ting by means of wooden pins to the
wires OF the fence and to some posts
that have been set for the purpose.
thus forming an inclosure with an
opening in the centre of the side facing
the section to be driven. The wire
netting is also stretched along the
fence in either direction for half mile
from the corner where the pen has
been constructed, forming two long
wings.
Now captain is elected, who divides
the company of perhaps thirty horse
men, sending half down each wing,
and also stations men with guns and
clubs at intervals along the line. Each
band of horsemen has q leader, who
places his men at intervals over the
allotted scope of country. When
these two leaders meet yell is given,
which is echoed along the line as a
signal to begin to close in toward the
pen.
The rabbits, frightened by the hur-
rying hoofs and continued yelling are
seen running wildly in all directions,
but approaching nearer and nearer the
trap laid for them. By the time they
come in range of the guns the little
creatures are too tired to run fast and
are easily killed. When the guns are
few and the clubs are busy elsewhere,
stones are thrown by an expert and q
rabbit falls, hit in the head. Some run
against the netting in their fright and
their eyes are put out. All this time
there are many in the pen, 300 or more,

Among the Man Eaters.

The strength of thirteen-foot shark
can be we'll illustrated by one cap
cured in the Gulf of Mexico. I hooked
it on the edge of a deep channel, and
it towed our heavy boat for nearly half
a mile at steamboat speed. We were
then crossed by twelve-oared barge
that tossed us Il line. and fourteen
men pulled against the shark and for
some time failed to stop it, and only
after long fight was the fish cap
tured. When I succeeded in hauling
it up to the boat it turned and seized
the keel near the cut.weter in its jaws
and gripped it as would bull terrier.
This shark fought for two hours before
it was landed, and had then almost
completely exhausted three fishermen,
as we'll as myself. Fl. Campbell, in
the Californian.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Snow, sprinkled over carpets and

Don't shut the lids of pots, boilers
and ssucepans when putting them
away. 1t retains the odors OF cookery.
Sponging the face and hands with
weak extract of pennyroyal will
keep away mosquitoes, and will allay
the pain from their bites.
Muslins, ginghams and calicoes
should be starched with starch IN
which piece of alum as big as hick-

Spots and dirt may be removed from
paintings and chromos by using cup
of warm water, to which few drops
of ammonia have been added.
To remove tar, rub in grease (lard
is as good es anything) until the spot
seems pretty well loosened, and then
wash in plenty of hot water and soap.
Oven doors should not be slammed
nor any jarring noise made when cake
and bread are cooking. Heaviness is
almost invariably the result OF jarrlng.

POTATO PIES.

It is in the South that they really
appreciate the potato. There it is not
merely vegetable adjunct to meat
course, but it is dignifed into being a
course all by itself. 1t is used as des'
sert, and potato pies are rated the
most delicious of all pies. Here are a
few Southern recipes:
Irish Potato Pie-Boil quart OF
sweet milk and stir into q good-sized
cup of grated raw potatoes. When
cool add two well beaten eggs, sugar
and nutmeg to taste. Bake without
upper crust. Eat the day it is baked.
Sweet Potato Pie-Boil some sweet
potatoes until we'll done; mash and
rub them through a sieve. To one
pint of the mashed potatoes add three
pints of milk, tablespoon OF melted
butter, cup of sugar, three eggs, a
pinch of salt and nutmeg to suit. This
also requires no upper crust.
Sliced Sweet Potato Pie-Peel and
cut sweet potatoes in fairly thin pieces.
Line pie plate with pie dough, place
the sweet potatoes on it, sweeten and
favor and add tablespoon OF vinegar.
Cover with upper crust and bake.
