Discontented Children.

Parents sometimes complain that their boys and girls would rather spend their evenings anywhere else than at home, and want advice as to the best method of curing such an evil. When we read such q complaint, it al. ways occurs to us that the chief trouble may lie in the fact that they do not make home a pleasant place for their children. Is it cheerful at the hearth and at the table? Does the father strive to make home bright and happy. or is he silent, moody and unsociable? Are his children furnished with a proper supply of books, papers, magazines, and such other means of amusement and improvement as their natures re- quire? Does the mother make friends and con6dantes of her daughters, or does she merely dole out to them food and clothing? Do the parents, in short, sympathize in the joys and griefs, the hopes and fears of their children, or do they ignore all that is most essential to the happiness and genial culture of childhood? Whenever par ents find that their offsprings are be- ginning to prefer any other place be- fore home, let them ask themselves these questions and they may discover the secret of their children's unfortu. nate preferences.-N. Y. Ledger.

OUTLETS AND ONION SAUCE
The Preparation of Dish That Is Very
 PalatanIe.


 PalatabIe.
 There is an undoubted prejudice against onions still existing in country districts. French cookery has largely rooted out this prejudice in the cities, and many city housewives do not at tempt their soup or meat braizes and stcws without little of the flavor of the onion. Most croqucttes and minces of meat and otber made meat dishes require this among the mauy hayors of herb and vegetable which go to making them perfect. In all these dishes the onion is used sparinEly, and does not assert itself as it does in soubise sauces and onion soup. of which it is a component part. The onion is one ol the most wholesome and valuable vegeta blcs we have, and it is au ignorant pref judice that has so largely prohibited its use in general cookery. For outlets with soubise sauce egg bread crumbs and fry in boiling fat six nice cutlets. Those taken from the shoulder and neck are juicy and inexpensive. Be careful to trim them it they arc lamb or mutton, removing all the fat you can, especial ly on the outside of the chop, as this is the fat that often inParts D strong flavor. To prepare the soubise or on- ion sauce boil three white onions in water for half an hour. take them up. throw off the water, put them into a mixture of hal. water and half milk, and let them cool, for a quarter Of an hour longer, or until they are soft enough to mash through q co}andcr.

TIE COWBOYS DAY IS ovER.

Thb COWBOYS DAY IS OVER. Me Is No Longer In Evidence Out in the
 Far West,
 The cowboy, like the buffalo, is fast becoming extinct, says Lippincotts Magazine In the dawn of the new cen tury now approaching he will be re- garded as a curiosity. Then years hence he will have attained the dignity of tradition, History, which embalms the man in armor and eNalts the pio- neer, holds place for him. The niche may be modest one, but he has his part in conquering a new country and no impartial record of western cvolu- ton can omit his picturesque figure. Before civilization devours his dignity, let us try to detain it a moment in its real likeness and garb.
 Dwellers in the long-settled commu- mites scarcely realize how great Q change has come over the far west during the last decade Ranches there will always be--tanches for grain, hay, fruit and LiuOded live stock but not for ,ue rearing of range cattle. Yet the time is in easy memory when there was a craze over the cattle business; when the cowboy was king at Dodge City; when hundreds of educated young men went west to share the hardshipS of herders. To-day the cattle ranches are deserted or mortgaged or turned into farms. X moro advanced intelli- gence has penetrated the possibilities of irrigation and water is reclaiming the wilderness once given over to the lOng-horn steer.
 The decline of the range cattle indus try has been as amazing and rapid as was its rise The business is not simply suffering from stagnatiou; it has almost ceased to exist Early in the sos a beef steer running on the range repre- sented forty dollars; one-fourth that sum would pay for him now. Thirty dollars was the average for a COW with a calf at her side; DOW whole herds are disposed of for six dollars head.

BIG CATTLE HORNS.
The Greatest Pair In the Country Believed
 Co De Owned In New York


 to Be Owned in New York.
 In the office of a downtown whole sale dealer in horns and tips, says the New York Sun, there Is a pair of South American cattle horns that measure. following the horns, nine feet from tip to tip. 1t is believed to be the biggest pair of horns in the country. There may be others of wider spread than these, for these curve forward some. what as well as outward and upward, but none of so great length. There are other noble pairs of horns in the same office. For the great pair the dealer has more than once received an offer of seventy.hve dollars.
 Cattle horns are used for the manu- lecture of combs, knife scales, buttons and other articles, and the tip or solid part is used for pipe stems, buttons, jcwelry, ball fringes, and so on. Occa- sionally there is a call for a pair of horns for decorative purposes, which .bc dealer supplies, and which he has mounted, if desired Single pairs of horns sell at from seventy-five cents to five dollars a pair, according to their size and beauty; the mounting may cost dollar and a half to three dollars

Woman and the mirror have long been the subject matter of fun by the column, but if the dear creature can beat her brother she is most remarka- ble. The radiant, bemirrored elevator is responsible for this.

been too little of this sort Of journey
ing since the procession OF prairie
schooners disappeared from the plains.
My wife and says the pioneer Of
land yachting in the west, ''were tired
of the usual form of outing, tired Of
paying high railroad fares. tired Of
summer hotels, tired of the farm that
takes city boarders. and the wagon
idea came to us like an inspiration.
I'VE found that with an outlay of
four or five hundred dollars we could
have a castle at Los Angeles, ca bin
in the redwoods. a chateau near Fresno,
n Pullman to Mount Shasta. and a
camp in the Yosemite. No railroad
fares, no doctors bills, no gas, or water,
or wood, or coal to pay for: our old
clothes would do us for years; chickens,
corn and potatoes would, of course, be
cheap. There was not a single draw
back to the plan, and within six weeks
we were on our travels in our land

ton. The wagon is twelve feet long
over all: five feet six inches wide out
side, and six feet two inches from floor
to ceiling. 1t is built clbow-fashion,
SO as to allow the front wheels to turn
under and that compels a sort of shelf
about foot high on the outside.
On the shelf is a No. 8 stove. Under
meath it and on two sides there is a
zinc and asbestos lining. To the left
Of the stove there are three openings
to compartments that extend under
the front seat. There they keep pro-
visions. Another compartment for
bottles and things is under the seat.
On cac! side of the wall, on a line
with the stove, there is shelf con-
tairing dishes, spices, etc. Under
meath tho same are hung pots, pans
and towels.
On a line with the door and under
the wagon there is 4 box, two feet six
inches wide, fourteen inches deep. and
about five feet six inches long. There
they keep the bedding, which they get
at by q trapdoor inside. Two curled
hair cushions, which are strapped flat
to the wall by day, do for mattresses.
Three little windows hinged at the
top solve the problems of light and
ventilation.

IN A WiNTRY SEA.

A Hardy Manxman who Was Not Much
Alarmed when Ills Ship Left Him BE-
hind.
When the conversation fell upon the
Elbc and the Gascogne and the narrow
chance Of escaping alive from a wreck
in the wintry sea, the man from far
northern British province was moved
to tell the story of his piano tuner.
The piano tuner earns his bread by
travelling from point to point in the
far northern province and tuning the
few pianos owned in those parts. Some
thing in his hearty manner and strong
figure led one of his patrons to ask
few questions concerning his life, and
the piano tuner answered in effect
thus:
I'm q Manxman, and l have inher-
tied rugged constitution. ! seldom

much of the time go without an over
coat. For many years 1 followed the
