Potato Salad

The geuuine German potato salad Is
made with the small miniature pota-
toes. These are sold in large city mar
kets at all seasons of the year, being
grown in the winter especially for this
purpose. To make good salad a full
grown, mealy potato is of no value. 1t
must be young, waxy root. When
boiled these are peeled and cut into
slices. Add to ten small freshly-boiled
potatoes one onion and teaspoonful
of parsley. A tablespoonful of chives
is pretty and agreeable addition.
Take for the dressing three tablespoon
fuls of vinegar, three of oil, salt
spoonful of salt and one of pepper.
Toss the potatoes in this mixture. Sc.
them on the ice. Smoked herring, cut
In pieces, are sometimes added to
potato salad. The herring should be
skinned and split, boned and torn in
bits. Sometimes a small cucumber is
added, or picked beets, but the latter
discolor the salad and should never be
put in unless well drained and added at
the last moment. This is given in an
swer to several requests.-N. Y. Trib-

BROTHERLESS GIRLS.
They Are Very Apt to Grow to he Priggish
Women.

The single daughter of house with
out sons is, of all women, the most apt
to grow into a self-sufficing prig, and
q number of daughters without broth
ers will often display, in less degree,
the same proclivity. There is often,
too. furious spirit of rivalry. Broth
erless women have had no chance of
learning, as children, in what they can
rival or surpass men, and in what they
must infallibly, by the operation OF
the mere laws of nature, be out
stripped. They have not the oppor
tunity of learning, without thinking.
wherein men intend to rule, have
ruled from the beginning, and will
rule to the end. 1t is not, as rule,
from the houses where there are sons
and daughters both that mannish
women come, but from the houses
where there are no sons, or where the
sons are exceptionally weak.
The boys in mixed household beat
the girls in all boys work so easily, sc
continuously and so permanently that
rivalry In their pursuits dies away, and
the girls turn, without effort and with.
out much disappointment, to their own
proper field. Above all, they learn
early and without pain the grand art,
first, perhaps, of practical feminine
arts, of putting up with things" in.
Guiding certain amount of whatmany
wpmen now describe as oppression
the greater expenditure, for instance
on boys, who are destined to maintain
households; their greater liberty. which
proceeds from unalterable circum
stances and can not be changed, and
their much later introduction into the
active life and business of the world
The girls with brothers, we think we
may assert with confidence, are az
wives much less liable to get irritated
with their husbands than the girls
without them.-London Spectator.

Bird with Tirclcss Legs and. n Deadly
. ~ Hatred of RattlesnaIres.

Bkrd with Tirclcss Legs and n Deadly
Hatred of Mathematics.
There's a bird down in my coun-
try" said Maj i Ransom, of Arizona, TO
u Denver reporter, (which. we call the
road runner. It Is an interesting
fellow, this bird, with. long legs that
never give out and which devour dis
lance with an appetite that never
seems appeased. Generally two road
runners go together--for company's
sake, no doubt. They seem to be
great gossipers and do vast sight Of
talking to each other. They will chase
ahead of your horse as you ride along
the trail, and keep up the stride for
miles and miles and hours and hours
with steady side-to-side motion much
like the gait Of q packing horse. Why
they run along ahead Of one in this In
sane fashion can only be guessed at.
1t would seem to be for fun and exer-
else.
"They are gifted with great deal Of
sagacious malevolence toward the
rattlesnalxes, with which crawling
brood the runner has deadly feud.
suppose the rattlesnalse pounces upon
the road runners eggs and makes
omelets of them; or gobbles up their
young on spring chicken theory.
Whatever the cause of hate, however,
the road runner Is the deadly enemy Of
geance on it in this way: They espy
rattlesnake asleep in the, sun.
Mum is the countersign with your
road runner; he never says word. He
and his fellow road runner go about in
discreet silence and collect the dried,
dead Joints of the fiat cactus, which
abounds In the southwestern deserts.
They build corral about the DOING
serpent with them.
"These pieces of cactus bristle with
thorns as sharp and keen as needles.
When they have their snake corraled
the two road runners arouse 1t with
yells and the Tapping OF their little
jimcrow wings. They revile 1t and
scold it and appear apply all kinds Of
hard epithets TO 1t, The snake gets
frightened and It's rattles buzz. But
they don't come near it. They stand at
safe distance and rail at 1t. At last
the snake tries to crawl away, but can't
cross the cactus fence which the road
runners have built. The spines prick
the snake and IL draws back. Mean
while the road runners keep up their
derisive racket. With each prick of tho
cactus the rattlesnalse's wrath In
creases. AT last, in desperate, brain
less fury 1t begins to bite itself. It's
poison is as deadly to itself as to every
body else, and in short time 1t dies.
Great, then, is the mad triumphof the
road runners, which taunt it until its
last gasp and exult over the corpse like
savages. After the snake is surely dead

key was one that would always sing

panied by the banjo, sometimes having
to read from notes which he would
hardly recognize, and certainly the joke

How a French Bank Is Guarded.

The treasures of the Bank of France
are said to be better guarded than those
of any other bank in the world. At the
close of business hours every day,
when the money is put into the vaults
in the cellar, masons at once wall up
che doors with hydraulic mortar.
Water is then turned on and kept rum
ming until the cellar is flooded. A
burglar would have to work in div
ing suit, and break down cement
wall before he could even start to loot
the vaults. When the officers arrive
the next morning, the water is drawn
off, the masonry is torn down, and the
vaults opened.

AMONG THE COMPANIES.
Activity In Military Circles-A New
Rifle Team.

The local militia companies feel much
relieved since the question of examination
of officers has been settled. The companies
had become inactive, few of the stated
drills having taken place during the period
OF suspense. Seattle officers in particular
have made excellent percentages of stand
ing. They naturally feel grateful and well
pleased with the fairness of abe examining
board, and the work of efficient drill mas
ters may now receive an impetus such as
might be expected from renewed conf
dence. The Seattle officers are bright
young business and professional men, to
whom a difficult examination is a COM
paratvely easy task.
Company b, since winning the Fourth of
July prize for company drill. has received
many applications for membership. Tues
day evening several new names were
voted on. The first drill of the company
since the Fourth was Tuesday evening.
