How to Care For Window Shades.

In replacing a window shade that has been torn from tho roller use ounce tacks. Longer ones injure tho spring.
 Always fasten the round hole bracke. on the right hand side of the window.
 Place roller in brackets with shade rolled up.
 To strengthen the spring draw the shade down few revolutions, remove roller from brackets, roll up shade and replace.
 If the spring is too strong, remove roller from brackets with shade rolled up, unroll few turns and replace.
 If the shade is tackled on properly, it will hang toward the window.
 To fit a shade to window with in- side shutters measure inside molding next to shutters.
 To shorten n roller for window with inside shutters measure from tip on spring side and allow half inch for roller end. It will then roll freely in the brackets.
 Always see that roller is cut true. and that roller end is free from imper- factions arising from casting.
 To properly wind spring roller for ordinary length shades 15 to 16 revolu. tions are sufficient.

HOW TO SELECT MEATS.
Every Housckccpcr should Be Her Ov
 NarkCtrr.

Every Hou>ekccpcr should Re Her Own
 Markctrr.
 In selecting the meats for the table keep ill mind certain facts concerning the desirable cuts. When beef is good, 1t will have a fine. smooth, open grain, and it will feel tender when pinched. The lean should be of q bright carnation red aud the fat white rather than vel low. The suet should bc perfectly white. If the lean should bo dark or purplish and the fat very yellow, do not buy the meat. See that the butcher has properly jointcd the meat before it goes home The pieces generally roasted are tho sir loin and the fore and middle ribs. In small families the ribs are tho most con venicnt pieces. 4 whole sirloin is too large except for a numerous company, but is the piece most esteemed by cpl cures.
 Steaks may be cut from the ribs, inner part of the sirloin or trump. The round is generally corncd or salted and boiled It is also used for the dish called beef q Ia mode. The legs make excellent soup. The head and tail arc also used for that purpose. The other pieces of the animal arc generally salted and boiled or used when fresh for soups and stews when not too fat If the state of the weather will allow you U keep fresh beef two or three days, rub with salt and wrap it in a cloth. In summer do not attempt to keep it more than 24 hours and not that length of time unless you can convcn- iently lay it on ice or ill a springhouse.

most formidable rivals, Sanger, Johnson, Tyler and Windle. The year before he won 75 firsts, which was then an unheard of achievement. Zimmcrman's prizes last year were valued at Sl5,000, and he also made large sum by riding certain make of wheel.
 Early this season Zimmerman was of fered large sum to turn professional and race in Paris, where wheeling Is tho sport of the hour. He went abroad and was so long in getting into condition that the Parisians began to believe that America had overestimated his prowcss This be- lief was given strength by the fact that in two of his first races before he was fit the champion was beaten by Italian and Bel gian riders. As soon as he was in form, however, he soon demonstrated that the professionals of all Europe were not even in his class Ho has defeated every man of importance in Franco and England, and press and public have crowned him king of all bicycle riders.
 Zimmerman's manager, w. R. Troy, declares that Zimmerman is earning mon ey at the rate of SEQ, 900 year and as cribes tho champions success in part to
 the fact that he possesses m abnormally
 large heart. Doctors have expressed the
 opinion that Zimmerman's heart is {
 inches longer than the average and that its great capacity for hard work gives him his remarkable staying powers There |: 1 nothing of the jockey about Zimmerman He invariably rides to win, and when ht loses, which Is very seldom, he makes no excuses. He never brngs about hi, prowess, and one of his most prominent characteristics is his modesty. Ho hai never particularly distinguished himsel as . record breaker against tho watch, bu In a race he can outsprint all the reoorS brcakefs on the path.

 The hotel bus had gone to the depot in answer to n telegram. Tho 13 girls were watching for its arrival. There was yet a faint ray of hope.

 Well. what has happcnedf' queried the Harc as she cautiously showed herself.

 ''No!''
 Yes, my dear Hare, have made res olution to live n different life. From this time on shall let your species entirely alone and strive to acquire n taste for beef or mutton. The purpose of this visit to your burruw is to invite you for n pleasant stroll in the forcst.''
 II beg to bc cXcuscd!'' replied the Hare as she indulgcd in Il womanly wink.

Putnam Bradles, owned by the city of Boston, struck a rock in Ware river, near here, while on tho way to Nantasket with about goo delegates and ladies whc have been attending the conference of the Mutual Life and Underwriters National association at Boston. Although thers was big scare, none was injured.
 The steamer was going at 6 high rata of speed at the time, and the shock was terrific A large hole was torn in her bot tom. The Nantasket company's steamer Governor Andrew was near by, and she promptly rescued the excursionists. who proceeded to their destination and carried out the original programme.
 The Bradlce careened over gradually as tho water poured through the ragged aper- ture and filled. Her furniture and equip ments are badly damaged. The tug VII Ham II.

ger of a gun, and if forced to fight used a brickbat wrapped up in felt, so as not to hurt the other fellow. We happened to strike n town where the people insisted on shooting at the editor instead of patroniz ing the skating rink or organizing de- batting society, and we found it positively necessary to remove some of the more en- thusiastic ones or go out of business our self. Our private graveyard contains only I0 persons. every one of whom made per sonal attack on us with the intention of ending our earthly career. We say "only" 10 persons because the number could have been run up to 20 without public criti- dsm. We allow the public to use this graveyard as public park, and it is not once in six months that we allude to 1t in personal way. It is now II months since Rocky Mountain Sam made ride of g. miles one night to shoot us as we came out of the office in the morning. His gun fouled on him after firing bullet which went through our hat, and Samuel has i been right hero in town ever since. We ! sincerely hope and trust that No. 10 may | be the last

Under one and the same roof we issue a newspaper and sell ] groceries, boots and shoes, hardware sad 1 dlery, flour and feed, hats and caps and i Yankee notions. This is one of the grand l features of the west-no ono is limited as 1 to his spread. In connection with THE l KICKER we are mayor of the town, n state senator, an applicant for the postmaster ship and hope within n short time to be appointed n deputy United States mar shal. This Is another grand feature of tho wcst-every man is encouraged to reach out and get all he can. We have
 been told by our friends that we can be | nominated for governor whenever the idea
 strikes us fayorably, and we have no
 doubt of its striking us in due time. In
 connection with the great family newspa- l per we conduct a weather bureau, own the , fastest running mule in the world and
 make public speech once n week in fa- 1 vor of admitting Arizona to statehood.
 THE KICKER begins its fourth year under
 the most hopeful auspices, and before an-
 other anniversary rolls round the office
 will be enlarged to take in blacksmith
