WHENCE GAME "oHesrNursYn
Here's Travelling Man VINO Thinks Ho

Here's . Travelling MAh Who Thinks He
Has Glow.
Speaking Of chestnuts," said the
travelling man from Chicago, reminds
me Of an attempt to joke with a gang
OF train robbers when l was running
ON the Frisco road through the Ma
ton as messenger for an express com
pany several years ago.
II was a messenger on the local be-
tween Fort Worth and Fort Smith.
One evening when the through train
was late, our train got orders to run
ahead of 1t from Fort Smith to Tuska-
homa.
while we were running slowly
through deep cut, up heavy grade,
the engineer suddenly called for brakes
and applied the air. The train had
hardly stopped when half dozen des-
perate men armed with Winchesters
emerged into sight from the darkness.
"As we hardly ever carried any valu-
ables on the local was not as cautious
as would otherwise have been. When
the train came to stop threw open
the side door to ascertain the cause Of
stopping, which soon learned.
when confronted with half a dozen
guns / was not anxious oinvite fusil-
lade from them by attempting to close
the door to Illustrate them in their de-
sires
"They had the engineer, fireman and
coaches covered and three Of them en-
tered my car.
II had small train safe which they
went through after had delivered up
the key, but they secured nothing ex-
cept an expense of 80 cents against
some agent at little Jim Crow town
In Texas.
THE only thing of value they found
on me was meal ticket at the eating
house at Fort Worth.
"They expected to catch the through
train, and were feeling kind o raw
over the layout they had secured, while
was feeling just the opposite on &C
count Of getting off so light.
What prompted me to say it can
not say, but as they were cursing their
ill-luck I said; Boys, there is sack of
chestnuts over there; you might get
few Of those
1.-THE leader's face lit up with dia-
holioal grin as he said: Wen give you
some chestnuts just to pay for your
little joke and us for our trouble
"While he was talking he jerked
piece Of board off q box and COM
menced to paddle me with it; the other
two followed suit. For at least fifteen
minutes they amused themselves in
this manner until seemed more dead
than alive; they then left the train.
THE next day was black and blue
from the effect Of my chestnut joke,
and was not fit to go on duty for thirty
days,
i'If I had kept my mouth shut and
had not tried to ring in these chestnuts
on them would have been all right
II think that incident Is where the
saying Of an old chestnut first arose,
at least it is where it was forcibly
brought to my notice for the first time"

Gable Cars Plotted, as . Rule, WITH Gkifi
safety and Comfort Nowadays.
The great majority of the cable grips
men have, now SO perfected themselves
in their work that usually they stare
and stop the cars smoothly. Many OF
them are artists, who handle a car
beautifully, calculating with the ut
most nicely, not only the power at COM
mand, the weight carried, and tho
operation of the brake and grip of ths
particular car but also the movements
of neighbertng teams and their effect
upon the truck Immediately In front,
and the characteristics of the driver of
the truck ahead, With all these ele-
ments they compute the measure of
speedneeded There is in the town, per-
haps, no set of men more alert, phyaic-
ally and mentally, than the high
grade gripmen. They pilot their cars
fearlessly, dashingly, and safely, often
with but hairs breadSN to spare.
1t would be hard TO say which are
the better SIpnen, those of Third
avenue CO Broadway; but it is certain
tar TO- see the broadway gripman at
his best he should be watched as he
shoots the Fourteenth street curve.
The men are all watchful and ready,
for any emergency, but, while some are
apparently under strain, others stand
erect and trim and square to the front,
and there are some nowadays whose
first motion to set the brake before the
crossing is not a right-hand pull upon
the brake wheel, but left-hand thrust,
and that takes muscle.
To be sure, people occasionally ride
with gripman not yet accustomed to
his work, who starts car as if it were
shell out of gun, and who stops itaS
if there were preeipice two feet
ahead, Then people fall over one an-.
other and smile vacantly, just as they
did at the start when cable cars were
new.-N. Y. Sun.

THE BEST COSMETIC.

It Is tse Open Air and Plenty Of Exercise.
AS far as complexions go there is no
reason In the world why women whose
lives are spent in the fresh, pure air of
the country, untainted by smoke and
dust, should not have the finest skins.
By exercise in the open air violent
enough to produce perspiratiop, and by
regular bathing, the proper ventilation
of the home, combined with good nutri-
tious food, they can, obtain this crown
ing glory Of womanhood. There is no
cosmetic equal to flower garden. The
woman who. cNltivates roses is apt to
have them reflected in her glowing
cheeks, and there is nothing so good
for nervous, low-spirited nature as a
genuine love for growing things. No
womans life can be lnonotonous When
she is anxiously waiting to see the
coloring of her new pAnsles and is not
quite sure Whether those, lilies will be
pink on white. She will dream of her
flowers, and her first impulse in
the, morning will be to run out
and see what marvels of open
ing buds the night has brought
forth The labor of the entire dav will
seem easier because of these few mo-
ments among the flowers, and the de-
sire to get back to her treasures will
prove wholesome incentive to ,.ons6
and vigorous doing of he household
tasks SSoome woIrcCn complain, how
ever, arr. say that It always gives them
| a headache to- work in the garden.
This is generally tho case because they
rush into the hot sun in the very hot
test part of the day, often either with
out anything on their heads or with
some hat the weight of which is enough
to cause pain in itself. If every woman
living on a farm would wear nothing
upon her head during the time spent
by her in working around her domain
but the old-time sun-bonnet of her
grandmother's day she would be able
to enjoy outdoor exercise without pain.
There is no better shield for the ewes
and complexion, and the back of the
neck, where delicate woman feels the
heat particularly, is shaded by the
cape This bonnet should be made OF
dark green gingham or some other
easily-laundered material; white or
lighter colors are DAZZLING for the eyes,
and so induce headaches. For the chill
dren these little sun-bonnets are excel
lent. As rule, women in the country
wear the heaviest headgear, especially
for their best attire, and by that prac-
tice lay the foundation of at least some
Of their nervous troubles, Ladies'

ADAMS FlRsT WIFE,
She Was Considered MatrlmonIally Com
plete Failure.


plete Failure.
Whether Lilith was one Of the female
creations Of Chapter l., or demon, or
something between the two, she was,
considered matrimonially, complete
failure. She was expelled after living
with Adam for one hundred and thirty
Years, and subsequently became the
wife of Satan, by whom she was the
mother of the Jinns, SO familiar in Per
sian fairy lore
The emphatic remark of Adam when
he first saw Eve: "Tbig is now bone Of
my bones and flesh of my flesh, makes
it is suggested, a comparison between
Eve and the beautiful but fend-like
Lilith net complimentary to the latter,
while the reference, on Tie III IA o. u
seth, TO hiua as Adams son 'Hn HE own
likeness, after his imaga," conveys 4
painful hint of the uncanny offspring
born to Adam and Lilith.
Perhaps in revenge for this, Lilith-
the name occurs translated might
monster" in Isaiah xxXiv.-became the
sworn foe of little children, whom she
was wont to strangle with one of her
glorious golden hairs, unless the watch
fitness Of their mothers drove her
away. It has, indeed, been gravely
suggested by an etymologist greatly
daring that our word lullaby is simply
a corruption Of ''Lilla abb" Lilith,
avaunt! which mothers and nurses
would Groom over the cradles or write

OF three eggs, into which have been
mixed the grated peel of large lemon.

In Making Cocoa. addition Of
raisin water in making cocoa is an idea
which will be new to many. This is
prepared beforehand, by letting a
pound OF sultana raisins, carefully
picked over and washed, stand covered,
with quart of boiling water, on the
back OF the range, where they will not
boil, for an hour. Then into the cocoa
pitcher put three heaping teaspoonfuls
OF cocoa, strain over it the hot raisin
water, add half cupful of sugar and
one quart of boiling water. 1t is ready
Tor use almost at once. Pittsburg Tele-

Fruit or Plum Cakes.-Take two
pounds of -four dried in the oven, one
half pound of sugar finely powdered,
four yolks of eggs, two of whites, one
half pound of butter washed with rose
water, six spoonfuls of cream, warmed,
a pound and one-half of currants,
washed, and mix all we'll together.
Make them into small cakes; bake them
in an oven almost as hot as for man
ehet, and let them stand half an hour
until they are colored on both sides;
then take down the oven door and let
thcm stand to soak. You must rub the
butter in the -four very well, then add
the eggs and cream, and then the fruit.

Plotting and watering House Plants,

Plants cultivated in the house often
suffer from being put into pots very
much too large for them. The mass Of
soil, which is quite out of proportion to
their needs, by frequent watering soon
gets into such sour and sodden coudia
ton that the roots will in some cases
rot away completely and the plant diess
even in the more sturdy varieties the
SOUR soil will produce only sickly
growth Even when the amount of soil
is not greater than the plant needs, it,
is quite an easy matter to give too much
water to succulents, such as the cactus
family, the agaves, crassulaa and
others of like habit, In fact these
plants, when at rest, as most Of them
are during the winter, need scarcely .
drop Of water, as long as the branches
remain plump and firm. -PhilaaelphiA

A FANCY FARMER.

He came into our neighborhood from the
city and bought run down farm and
built a nice house on 1t and settled down
as farmer, not because he needed to
till the soil for a living, but because
he wanted something to do. to kill time
and imagined he would like to be a
farmer AS money was not the object
sought he had an outfit that was the
envy of the whole lot of us who only had
money to buy tools as We dug it out by
hard knocks and gathered it in small
amounts because of low prices. The new
neighbor seemed TO be a pretty good sort
or fellow and soon established himself
on a friendly basis with the people in
the neighberhood. He subscribed for half
q dozen farm papers, and Joined our
Farmers club. and when he was put
on duty prepared and read very nice
paper that was a source of amusement
to us fellows who knew all about il, for
a month afterwards. He built fences and
grubbed out bushes and worked like a
good fellow till from a pale and puny
chap he got TO be a pretty solid kind of
chap who could really do a good days
work. His farming, was all of the kind
that is usually called fancy" because
it was done in the neatest and most
complete manner.
We watched his operations with great
interest. and made frequent comments
on his turnips that We're to cost quar-
ter each, and the milk from his Jerseys
That was produced at a similar price.
two, and We were certain that he could
net possibly be making money-he was
so NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. we could see that
his farm was improving in looks all the
time. Finally we got a little ashamed
of the untidy corners of our own farms
and begun to, clean them up. Strangers
who came along asked first about the
nice farm over by the creek. and every
man who came along wanting to buy a
farm stopped there the first thing Final
" it began to dawn on all of us that our
fancy farmer" was making money in
tho increased value of his farm If he
was not ON his crops; noticed that he
got the top price for everything he sold
and when he bought anything he paid
cash: and at one OF our club meetings
quantities. At a later club neetins he he
brought set of books along and showed
US how he kept an account with his
farm. and knew just where he stood IS
far as finances. stood all the time. This
astonishing thing was that he had not
lost any money in the two years but had
actually made about as much as anv Of
us, and had added at least 81 per cent
to the value of his farm by cleaning IN
draining it and putting the fences in
reDair.
Then he told us Of some of the failures
he had made and how much they had
cost him. and by the time the melting
adjourned we were all of one opinion
We concluded that We might have a
worse neighbor than fancy farmer
He has lived with us for five years now
and he knows much more about farming
than he did when he first BEGAN. and 50
do the rest of us. He will no doubt
be surprised 10 see this open confession
in this paper. but I want your readers to
know that a fancy farmer may be of
great benefit to neighborhood even IF
his mistakes only point out what not
TO do.
