INDIAN TROUBLE.
Puyallup Indians protested
strongly against the sale of lands
in their reservation, which was
begun at Tacoma, Wash, on May l.
These Indians are recognized by
a decision of the United States

exercise all the rights as such,
with the single exception that
the land on their reservation is
held in trust for them by the
Government, the Indians only
being allowed to enter into

to exceed two years. When the
sale began one Of the chiefs gave
warning that none of the purch.

Many animals live to surprising
age, retaining their vitality so long
that it is difficult for man to count
their years. OF all, the oldest, or
rather the one retaining to greatest
longevity, is the Greenland whale,
which if the differences from its growth
be correct, lasts between three or
four hundred years.
The king of beasts probable prowls
his native heath three score and ten
years, for even in confinement he has
been known to live this period. A
lion known as "Pompey' remained
in the tower of London over 20 years,
and his age was unknown when cap
tured. Another brought from the
river Gambia died at the age of 63.
Leopards, bears, and tigers live
about % or 80 years; the camel 40 or
more; the rhinoceros and hippopota-
mus from 20 to so, and the elephant
certainly from 40 to $50.
Ajax captured an elephant from
Porus, a king of India, and inscribed
upon brass plate the history of the
victory. After this was securely fast
ened-the animal was set at liberty,
and it turned up $50 years afterward,
still having the plate recording the
story.
The tortoise lives an astonishing
time. Several specimens of the In
dian variety are to be seen in the ZOO
logical gardens of London, promenad-
ing in their quiet fashion, though
each is known to be over 206 years
old. Two very antiquated tortoises
reside near York, England, which
were brought from Rochelle soon af-
ter the siege in 1928, and were per
sonally acquainted in all probability
with Joan of Arc.
Some of the birds live to green
old age also. Falcons and ravens at
tain to 100 years and more; pelicans
and herons live 80 years; peacocks
20, hawks 80, geese 100, nightingales
over 10, domestic fowls 10 years,
thrushes and other wood and field
birds acquire from 8 to 9, while wrens
do not survive 3 years.

GIVE YOUR GENIUS SCOPE.

AS over the doors of the rooms of
the euchanted castle in the F8rle
Queen the adventurous explorer
found written, ''Be bold!" "Be bold!"
and everywhere "Be bold" SO would
show to the young, inscribed above
the doors of the many chambered
house Of life, "Strive!" "Strive!"
and everywhere 'EStrive!" Even as l
indite the words I reflect that [ have
unconsc1ously made this the hidden
motive Of more than few of the
books that I have written for the
young; and if were to write as many
more, am sure it would somewhere
be found at the heart of every one Of
them.
To the young of America, in this
age of unprecedented progress, [
would continue to sound this inspir-
ing note. Even for the favored child

say, especially to such favored ones
is the stimulus of earnest effort need
full For is it not the great danger of
wealth and prosperity that they be-
calm us in sense of selfish ease, and
lull our aspirations to sleep? On the
other hand, difficulties to overcome
incite the soul to action, and SO make
poverty blessing.
The prizes of life may prove disap-
pointing; but in the struggle itself we
seize unawares a higher prize = the
Joy of effort and the development of
our powers. Endeavor is a source of
physical as we'll as Of moral health.
It is armor against disease; it is a
bright buckler from which the arrows
of evil glance.-You may not reach
the object of your ambition, but the
strong purpose renders life worth liv-
ing by the way. Honest endeavor is
it's own reward. Give your genius
scope, and encourage all generous
ambitions. Secure all that you can
win honestly, and use wisely, of
worldly wealth, power, and distinc-
ton. But do not forget the noblest
aim of all, to make the best of your
self, to enlarge your mind and soul;
and, last and greatest, always, and
without any narrow thought of self,
to render service to others.
Strive, strive, evermore strive. But
as the explorer of the enchanted cas-
tie in Sponsors great poem came at
last to door over which was the final
warning, "Be not too bold" so do
you take heed and strive not too
much.

1t is said in Scotland that those who
desire to learn what fate or fortune
the new year may have in store for
them, may do so by consulting the
Bible on New Years morning before
breakfast The sacred book must be
laid upon a table, and those who wish
to consult it must open il az random
and place a finger upon one or other
of the chapters at which it is opened.
This chapter is read and is believed
to describe in some way thc happi-
ness or misery during the ensuing
year Of the person who makes The

Any one who can make butter at
all can make good butter in the spring
and fall, but it is quite another mat
ter to produce a good article during
the hot weather, or the cold days of
winter, when most Of the COWS have
been long in milk. But even in the
fall there are times when everything
does not go right. The atmosphere
is hot and humid after a frost, and
the milk sours quickly and often is
"off'' flavor. Short pasturage is the
worst drawback, but good patch of
cornfodder or an acre of August sown
barley and peas will help this out
materially. 1t is a mistake to hold off
grain feeding until the COWS are sta
bled. Begin early, by October at least,
and you will find that it pays. Finally,
cool and @rate the milk, and but lit
tie trouble need then be experienced
in making good butter. Practical

THE ART OF SWEEPING.

One would think that sweeping
room clean was more a matter OF
muscle and a little common sense
than an unattainably fine art. Ex-
perience with hired help, however,
teaches that about one in a hundred
knows how to sweep. | have seen
damsels of the kitchen devote twice
as much time to carefully protecting
their hair and clothes from the antic-
ipated dust than the articles Of fur
niture, books, ETC., in the room to be
swept. If left to herself, new girl
(whOse methods [ am curious to see
before instructing her in mine), will
in nine cases out of ten walk into the
sweep! Can this be the way any re-
spectacle family has it's weekly
sweeping done? The windows are
usually opened as the one prelimi-
nary step, but may almost say [ have
never seen any attention paid to clos
ing doors into other rooms, while the
preliminary busting of articles to be
removed seems to be an unheard of
proceeding and even their removal
an unnecessary nicely. The idea seems
to be that everything can easily be
busted afterwards Fright into the
newly swept room and what's the
difference? It takes several weeks to
get girl acquainted with the dust
covers handed to her on the first
sweeping day, to put over the sta
tionary pieces of furniture.

These first principles, one would
suppose the veriest greenhorn would
know, but strange to relate, I have
seen the greatest carelessness or ig-
norance in this direction in the Am
erican girls have taken right from

pared with that of others, therefore, is
to believe that sweeping is one of the
fine arts, not easily mastered by even
a we'll trained girl.

TIMELY RECIPES.

Fried Fomatoes-Slice large ripe
tomatoes, roll in -four, sprinkle with
salt and fry in hot butter or lard
Baked Tomatoes-Fill an earthen
dish with alternate layers of sliced
ripe tomatoes and bread crumbs, sea
soned with salt, pepper and butter,
letting the top layer be bread crumbs.
Bake fifteen minutes.
Tomato Fritters-Take the half can
of tomatoes left from dinner. Add
one beaten egg, one teaspoonful of
salt, one quarter teaspoonful of pep
per, and enough bread or cracker
crumbs to make thick batter Drop
by spOOnfuls on a hot gridiron and
fry until brown.
Ounce Preserves pairing and
quartering, weigh, then put in ket-
tie with enough water to cover and
cook slowly until tender, then take
up with skinner and add to the
water pound of sugar for pound Of
fruit, let it boil, return the ounces to
the syrup and boil until clear.
Jelly-Jelly will have a much better
flavor if the fruit selected is not too
ripe. The juice can be better ex
tracted if put on and heated. 1t should
first be strained through wire sieve
with a crank that will crush the fruit,
then strained the second time through
a flannel bag. Put on the juice and
allow it to come to heat, then put in
the sugar, which should be heated in
the oven. Boil in large pan Or ket
tie so that as much surface can be on
the stove as possible.
