Well, l was going to tell you about
our caYe-Blathers' and mine--and
that was what made me start about
Scott, because it was through reading
we went in for the cave. Blathers took
a paper called The Boys Own Adven-
turer, and there was splendid tale in
it, much better than anything Scott
ever wrote, about a chap who lived by
smuggling; and rare larks he hadl We
often talked of running away and tax
ing up the smuggling trade, which
must be a glorious life for a fellow
with any go In him, but we never could
save up enough money to pay our rail
way fares to the sea. We were in the
midlands, you see, and when we got
our screws there were always some
ticks to pay up at the school tuck
shop. But one day Blathsrs said:
Il say, Jonesie, don't see why we
shouldn't have a smuggler>s cave here,
In small way;" and, when l asked
whereabouts, he pointed to the wood
pile that was in corner of the pad
dock leading out from Marston's gar
den. 1t was a great heap Of faggots
and clumps stored for firewood, sup
pose, ready for winter. 1t took Us
some time to burrow it out and stow
the wood away, without anybody see
ing us, and sneaking; but when it was
done it really make quite decent sort
of cave, and we smuggled no end OF
things into il.
1t was great satisfaction to have
place where we could GO and smoke
when we liked, and we used to SNUG
gle tobacco and cigarettes whenever
we got half chance. The cave had
quite a store of tobacco in it at last.
We never told a soul, though we
wanted to take rise out of some of
the other chaps over it; but it wouldn't t
have done.
One day Blathers said:

MYTHS ABOUT BEES.
Minnesota Farmer Dispels n Number
Popular Illusions.

A Minnesota Farmer Dispels a Number oi
Popular Illusions.
Bees, said Farmer William Russell to
a reporter for the Minneapolis Trib-
une, are just like human beings When
they are busy they are virtuous and
peacsable; but when in idleness they
become vicious, given to foolish actions
that dissipate the strength of the colo
nies and make the work of the bee
keeper twice as arduous. Last year
the season ran so that the bees were
busy all the time. The blossoms came
in rotation and the bees always had
something to do. They made honey
very fast and the business was pros
porous
This season there has been less honey
to gather and the bees, with nothing to
busy themselves upon, have devoted
their time to frolic and idleness- The
old rhyme,
al How doth the busy bee
Improve each shining hour"
is all nonsense. The bees are marvels
of thrift and industry when they have
work to do, but they can be quite as
foolish as men.
The talk of the idle drone" is an
other foolishness that has crept into
the language through ignorance. The
drone is the male bee. He has no bust
ness to gather honey; his function is
altogether different and quite as inn
portant as that of the worker. He is
the father of the hive, and when his
work has been performed he is killed
off as useless

EYEBROW CULTIVATION.
How to Give Added Character to
Ones Physiognomy.
Next In Importance to tho Eye Itself Are
the Brows and Lashes-IIow the
Cult Is Praoticed by Its
D9votees.

Curiously examining the pretty toilet
articles that lie in great profusion on
the dressing table, you come across
tiny brush, delicate and white, with
O finely chased silver back. You won
der at its purpose.
"What is this for?" you ask, holding
1t up. The owner looks at it for mo-
ment with a thoughtful, puzzled ex-
preston. Suddenly her face clears.
"Oh, yes, that's my new eyebrow
brush,' she explains.
The disciples Of physical culture have
new cult They devote themselves
to the eyebrow and eyelash, for tho
possibility Of the brow and lash rs @
factor in facial expression is being
more fully appreciated. Indeed, Buff
fon, the naturalist, places the eye
brow next In Importance to the eye
itself In giving character to tho physi-
ognomy. This Is partly because, he
says, Of the marked contrast of this
feature to the others of the face The
brows are shadow In the picture,
bringing its color and drawing into
strong relief. Eyelashes also con-
tribute their effect; when long and
thick they overshadow tho eye, and
mako 1t appear softer and more beau

the eyeball itself is incapable of ex-
preston; that it is the dropping or sud-
den lifting of the lid which speaks.

THE PROPER WAY.
Something About the Proper Way of Coos.
Ing Pumpkin and Squash.


Ing Pumpkin and Squash.
Pumpkin for pie to be properly
cooked must be slowly steamed Peel
1t, remove the Seeds cut it in pieces and
put 1t In largo iron pot, with about
quart of boiling water to ono good
sized pumpkin. Cover 1t close. Let
1t boil hard for about five or ten min
utes, and then set 1t back where 1t will
steam slowly for about six hours At
the end of this time nearly all !, tho
water will be absorbed, and the pump
kin will be sweet and tender. Press It
piece by piece through a vegetable
press. By this means the pumpkin
should be well drained and thoroughly
strained, hardly more moist than we'll
mashed potato. Take four cups of
this strained pumpkin, add four cups
of rich milk, a teaspoonful of salt, two
of ginger, one of nutmeg and one Of
mace, small cup of sugar and four or
five eggs according to their size. Some
housekeepers prefer to bring the milk
to boiling point before they use it,
and this undoubtedly gives a richer
pie. Pour the pumpkin thus pre-
pared into deep pie plates that have
been lined with pastry. A properly
made pumpkin pie Is at least an inch
thick. See that at least half the plates
are square tins, which give the de-
lightful corner pieces of old times.
A squash pie is much more easily
made and this may be the reason why
1t has taken the place of pumpkin in
some localities. For among vegetables
the fttest does not survive, but that
which is the easiest handled and gives
the least trouble. To make squash
pie use five cups of strained and cooked
squash to one quart of boiling milk.
Add a grated nutmeg, heaping tea
spoonful of salt, the Juice of half
lemon, a tablespoonful of butter and
five or six eggs, according to size. Bake
the pie for from forty-fve to fifty min
utes in rapid stove oven. In the old
fashioned brick oven they were baked
about one hour.-N. Y. Tribune.

that they are able, independent of the
lid, to convey o suggestion Of emotion.
Whether this be SO or no, it Is certain
ly true that the slight elevation of the
under eyelid-the expressive one-pro-
duces that languishing look which the
Greek loved, and which one sees on the
face Of Venus.
The Turkish and Circassian women
use Lenna for pcnciling the eyes, while
those among the Arabs of the desert
blacken the edge of the eyelid with
powder, and draw line about the eye
to make 1t appear larger. In fact, 1t is
whispered that these women of the
desert are not the only ones who mako
use Of the device: The Spanish grand
danes squeeze orange juice into their
eyes. 1t is triae painful at first, but
1t cleanses the ball and imparts re-
markable brightness temporarily.

and taper toward each end, and arc

out, to be succeeded by O new one.
Long and silky eyelashes are said to be
sign of gentleness.
The ideal brows are arched, well
marked, though not heavy, and dis.
tinctly separated. Although, indeed,
the Roman motive of beauty included o
small forehead and united brows Ovid
tells us that the women of his time
cleverly painted them SO that they ap-
peared as one.
The perfect eyelld should form an
oblong, for the large, round eye In o
circular aperture Is indicative OF bold
ness; the small circular one of pert
ness, Lashes should be long and silky.
The care of the brows Is very SIM
pie matter. At night, just before re-
firing, take little pomatum on the tip
of the forefnger and rub 1t gently into
the arched eyebrow. Then lightly pass
towel over the same This is to pro-
mote the growth. "We do this every

The libel laws of this state are among
the most antiquated in the country, and
they need a thorough revision. AS they
now stand publisher is subject to fine
and imprisonment for printing para
graph, apparently harmless and which
he may have accepted as mere item of
news. The law makes no provision for
any retraction or apology that may
afterward appear in the paper, and it
rests with the common sense of the
judge and jury to give him justice.
Much harm is often done, as the libel
laws give every blackmailer and petit
fogger various opportunities to annoy
publishers. Newspaper men should be
held to strict account for any violation
or disregard of the truth in commenting
upon the character or actions of others,
but where there is no malice and where
retraction is offered If the charges are
learned to be untrue, the publisher is
not guilty of libel and ought not be held
so by the law.

airIhood's charm in woman.

The woman who keeps the simplicity
Of her girlhood, Its generous impulses
and quick sympathies, and who adds
10 her natural gifts the enlargement Of
study and the crown Of experience, Is
always at her best and never past it.
When the exterior attractions of form
and color diminish and depart, as they
mostly do, the radiance of our inner L.
Elimination will more than compensate
their departure. But, In order that
this should be 30, her moral must equal
her intellectual gain. She must be
willing to learn, not only her own
powers, but her own defects also. and
to court the good influences which can
help her to escape from the delnsions
Of sense and the fatal tyranny Of self
consciousness. She must discard the
petty measures of vanity and self-seek-
Ing, and learn TO love her race, her
country and the humanity which she
should help to edorn.-Jplia Ward
