the thousands, and the plains are SO
strewn with their carcasses that tho
air for miles around is freighted with
the stencil. The atmosphere of Col
orado being almost devoid of moisture,
decomposition is very slow, and car
cass will keep for several months.
When water gives out the herdsmen dig
for it. The streams have Il habit Of
sinking out of sight, running along
few miles or more, and again coming to
the surface, and thus the thread of
stream run dry is caught up. 1t is
most pitiful spectacle to see large
droves of cattle instinctively collect
around small stagnant pools or damp
spots where once flowed a stream, and
moan With almost human appeals to
the herders. Several years ago, during
an extreme drought, there was so little
grazing that the herders resorted to
the cutting of shrubs and the leaves OF
trees as substitute.

RELIGIOUS MATTERS.

Not as the world Siveth."
The Master Yet liveth.
Thy soul from its thralldom TO win;
And lovingly greeting
Is gently repeating
His promise of Heaven within.
TO lives dark and drcary-
The way-worn and weary,
Looking out and beyond for release;
To all who are willing,
His promise fulfilling,
lie comes with.this Heavenly peace.
From the unrest around us,
From chains that have bound US
So long in the service of sin;
From the fever and frcttin5.
The striving ard getting,
We nay turn to this Heaven within.
When comforts are flying
And friendships are dying.
And the false overshadows the true;
In the midst of thy praying
Tho Master Is saying:
My peace / give unto YOU"
When youth with Its vigor
Is gone. and the risor
or winter seems bitter and cold.
Thy heart may be glowing
With life ever flowing
From fountains that never grow old.

Orange Custard.

Scald one pint of milk, beat the yollSs
of three eggs light with one-fourth cup
of granulated sugar. Slowly pour the
milk on the eggs, and when well mixed
return to farina boiler with clippings
of the rind of orange. Cook for two
minutes, or until smooth and thick,
stirring constantly. Add the juice of
two oranges, strain and put to cool. If
you desire baked custard, use same
recipe, strain custard in cups, stand in
pan of hot water and bake in moderate
oven. Never stir eggs into milk, but al
ways pour milk on the eggs, and when
cooking in farina boiler never leave it
for an instant. The great secret of
making custard is slow cooking. In
baking custards it is better to have
them overdone than not cooked enough.

AN IDEAL SUMMER FROCK.
Attest of the Popular Materials Is Linen
Batiste.

Airiest OF the Popular Materials Is Linen
Batiste.
Linten batiste is the favorite material
of the hour. 1t ran the gauntlet last
summer and succeeded in becoming
so popular that there was no giving it
up this season.
1t has the faculty of making an elab-
crate costume cool and summary, with
out giving the feeling of undress a
light, thin gown generally gives. The
heavier quality needs no interlining,
and so makes up in the coolest possible
of summer gowns.
A smart gown made up of this stuff
is in the natural dull tan shade, made
with wide laring skirt, finished across
the foot with broad, upturned hem,
hemstitched at the top. The bodice is
full, and drawn into the waist, grace
fully, by narrow stiffened belt of the
linen batiste. The rippled edges are
futed over the hips smartly.
A deep oval yoke set in perpendicu-
lar tuck, wide-spreading at the bottom
and terminating in deep frill sets
out over the shoulder. Full leg o. NUT
ton sleeves are gracefully finished at the
wrist by twist of emerald green vel
vet, while a stock of the same finishes
the neck.
A stunning hat, shell-shaped, is made
of well-stiffened embroidered batiste,
with bandeau of emerald-green vel
vet to tip it off the hair and big bow
of tan lace massed on the crown.
Strapped seams ornament many of the
batiste gowns, sometimes stitched with
gayly- colored silk at the edge of the
seams. Pipings also are to the fore in
these gowns. A charmingly pretty
gown of this grayish-tan stuff has all
its seams piped with narrow cords Of
white.-St. Louis Republic.

HAD a HAPPY EVENING.
How an Alleged Country Milliner Came
to Town.

How an Alleged Country Milliner Came
to Town.
1t is time-honored custom with the
wholesale houses to entertain their
country customers if the latter will
permit the attention. Steer a country
man around town five dollars worth
and he will usually buy all his goods
Of you, and at any price. There are a
good many women at the head Of busi-
ness houses away from Chicago, and
when they come here to trade they can
have any attentions they want. Moth
ing in the city is too good for them.
They are placed under the care Of COR
rect and clever statesmen, who con-
duct them through an entire evenings
range of entertainment and deposit
them safely at the hotel by midnight.
The young men like it, the women mer-
chants are flattered and gratified--and
the wholesale house pays the bill.
Last Monday a very good-looking
young woman came into one of the big
millinery houses and began a cursory
examination of fall hats, ribbons and
feathers. A handsome young sales
man who "knew Chicago like a book"
waited on her. She said she had start
cd a business at Huntington, Ind, and
was uncertain where she had better fix
her trade. She didn't want to be
changing around"
The gay clerk gave her every as
surance of good treatment and Incl
dentaliy spread proffered treat before
her. Out of the entertainments offered
she seemed pleased most with the pros
pect of seeing Bernhard. So the young
man talked with the managing part
ner; and between five o'clock in the
afternoon and IL at night he had shown
her the Dore gallery of pictures, the
kaleidoscope, the Roof garden, two tun-
nels under the river, the Haymarket
monument, the two last acts of "Fe-
DORA" and had bought her one lunch
con, and one square meal and a good
many cooling beverages. The bill was
$3.50.
AS the long and the short hand on
their watches got together the country
milliner said:
"Now put me on Van Buren, street
trolley and I'll go home. I've had per-
fectly heavenly time. Chicago Post.

Paul remembered the advantages he
possessed before his conversion. His
family was the best, his standing in
the church was the highest his sur
roundings were to his taste, his future
gave ample field for his energy and
zeal, but there was no feeling of regret
as he thus looked back; no measuring
of the sacrifice he had made. He count
ed oil but loss, for the reason that now
he had obtained what was infinitely
better, the knowledge of Jesus Christ
his Lord. In Christ there is all that
ministers to the highest desires of the
soul.-United Presbyterian.

PIEPLANT PASTRY.

DaintIes.

DaintIes.
Pieplant or rhubarb is now gener-
ally stewed, rs it should be, with the
skin on. The oldfashioned pipkin OF
earthenware (such as come in nest of
five assorted sizes as low as 35 cents a
seD is altogether the best dish to stew
it in because it is cooked so slowly that
the juice of rhubarb has time to draw
out. Only few tablespoonfuls of water
are then necessary for quart measure
of sliced stems. When the rhubarb pie
is baked in an upper crust tits better to
use raw rhubarb, but where meringue
of rhubarb is prepared the stalks must
be stewed. Add the sugar to the stewed
rlubarb after it is cooked and tender.
1t is a great mistake to add flour, eggs
or anything else to thicken it to rhu-
barb pie. The simplest method is the
best. Line good tin baking plate with
pastry. Use only the best tin for pie
plates. Poor, cheap tin, such as has
been adulterated with anthony or lead,
has no power of conducting heat, and
the under crust of the pies baked in it
will be sodden despite the best plates.
There are no advantages in perforated
pie plates. Take sufficient pieplant to
fill the pie. Cut the pieplant into inch
pieces. Mix about three-quarters of a
cup of sugar with it and stir the mix
ture in porcelain-lined pan over the
fire for two or three minutes. Fill the
pie, leaving a vacant place around the
edge for the juice to run into. Cover the
pie with a thin layer of the best and
lightest pastry and bake it for one hour.
Sprinkle it with powdered sugar, using
dredge, and set back in the oven for
two or three minutes or till the sugar
nlelts.
To make pieplant meringue, stew
and sweeten enough pieplant to fill a
pie. Line it and fill it. Let it bake three
quarters of an hour or until the under
crust is done, then take it up, dredge it
with little powdered sugar and cover it
with meringue made by beating the
whites of three eggs to stiff froth and
adding three tablespoonfulso of powdered
sugar and the juice of half lemon.
lake the meringue in very slow oven
for 20 minutes, when it should be slight

A BROKEN PROMISE.
The Cry of Ruined Life In an Edinburgh
Prison.

The Cry of n Ruined lAfe In an Edinburgh
Prison.
When w. Burns Thomson, known
throughout Scotland as the medical
missionary, was a young man prosecut-
ing his medical studies, he was assist
ant chaplain of the Edinburgh prison.
There, many strange and sad expert
ences in the lives of convicts came to bis
knowledge. The following, told by
himself and included in his biography
by Mr.. Maxwell, shows how one mis-
take in conduct may prove fatal to char
acter, and even to life itself.
Mr.. Thomson was leaving Cation Jail
one afternoon, when the governor,
stepping from group of officials, said
to him: "Please wait; we are expect
ing heavy sentence"
In short time the gates were opened,
and the police van came in. When the
clatter of bolts had ceased, n prisoner
stepped out of the van. After CHANGING
for a moment at the papers handed to
him, the governor whispered to Mr..
Thomson one word: DEATH"
After the man was taken to his cell,
the young chaplain went to see him.
When the warden had left the cell, the
prisoner looked earnestly ut his visitor
and said: $50 you don't know me?"
II do not recall having seen you be-
fore" was the reply.
but | remember you'll" the prisoner
exclaimed, so bitterly that the chaplain
wondered for moment whether he

man broke into n paroxysm of grief.
wringing his hands and crying:
"Oh, If / had kept my promise! fl
had only kept my promise, j should not
be here to-day!"
He was n typical British tar, with a
free hand and generous heart when
he was sober. Uuder the influence Of
liquor he had quarreled with his wife,
and had pushed her downstairs to her
death.
II seems that three years previous to
his trial and conviction for murder he
had been sentenced to 80 days in prison
because OF drunken row. Then he at
tended the prison meetings held by Mr..
Thomson, who, after one of these gath
erings, took the sailor into his private
room, prayed with him, and then
warned him earnestly against drink.
The murderer now told the chaplain
this, and ended his confession in these
words:
II promised you faithfully that
would give it up, and so did for awhile,
but it came back on me. Since then
have been all around the world, and to
think that / am here, and that it has
come to this!" Then followed an out
burst Of agony and the plaintive wall:
'Oh, If had kept my promised"
This for weeks was his remorseful re-
frain, until the moment OF his execu-
ton. AS the unhappy man was led ia
the scaffold he looked down upon his
black clothes, and then at the good
chaplain.
80, William!" he exclaimed; evil
liam! Did / ever expect TO see you in
mourning for yourself?'
Trembling with emotion, he soon
after shook hands with Mr.. Thomson,
saying penitently as he did so: "Oh.
that / had kept my promise!"
"Oh, il had kept my promise!" Is the
silent wnil OF many ruined life
