Follow These Instructions and You'll He
 Sure IO Succeed.
 Do not draw any water from the ice while freezing unless water raises to top of can. The can should be only two. thirds full of milk, as it will raise one third while freezing. After the mill; has been placed in the can, put the freezer together ready for operation, mash the ice and sprinkle coarse salt on until it stops cracking. (The ice may be previously prepared). Then put the ice around the can and add more salt. When the freezing is completed remove the beaters and cover the freezer with carpet or woolen cloth and let the ice cream harden one-half hour befor, serving. After frozen, beating the cream with a large spoon or wooden paddle will improve it. After standing several hours it should be beaten be- fore serving. Dipping spoon in luke warm water before serving each plate of cream and turn once around, will cut a very nice form.-Philadelphia In- quirer.

"Give him dollars worth of beam and put it in the storehouse. Salt it well," said Hill. He was disappointed in the Indian. After such showing of secrecy he had expected theft of some consequence and profit of size ac- cording thereto.
 Eight days passed and once more was the vision of the trader gratified by the apparition of the larcenous Indian. He carried bundle, which, as before. he guarded carefully from scrutiny.
 'IIe asks" said Yellow Bird, "that this be opened in a secret place, for of certainty he is satisfied that he has the most magnificent hide ever cut from governmental supplied steer. Alas. however, it is stolen"
 Hill viewed the hide in the rear room, where the light was poor and where there was chance that he might Iass over defects unseen. As a protection against this faulty inspection, how ever, he cut the price from $s to $350. In his success and prosperity Hollow Horn Antelope was becoming more OK acting and insisted on cash to that amount. q desire to inform you," Yel- low Bird spoke, confidentially, "that in removing this hide it was necessary to somewhat disguise it, and he has cut off the left fore leg. He is an honest and candid man. It was stolen from Thomas Fast Horse. Keep it concealed when Thomas Fast Horse is about. This is my disinterested advice." Jill told him to salt it and put it in the warehouse.
 Hollow Horn Antelope did not sue ceed in stealing any more hides for six days. At the end of that period he appeared limping in the presence of Hill and related that in committing larceny at the tepee of Red-White-aad- Blue-Mustang the latter had sent Q 450O after him and had caught him in the fleshy part of the leg. But ns he carried the hide with him the bullet, striking it, seemed to have been divert ed. However, in honesty, he was com. pellcd to say the ball had cut a hole in the neck of the skin. As before it went to the warehouse. Hill examin. ing il carelessly and relying on Yellow Bird to look after details. The pur. chase price was six dollars.
 Thus it continued for three months Hollow Horn Antelope making weekly visits in the shadow of the night to Hills trading store with hides stolen from here and there. They were all sorts of hides, but always the frank Indian foolishly recited-through Yel- low Bird-the needless facts that were

Plano Seats and Drapery.

The straight back of an upright piano has inspired the brain of many house wife to the invention of new kinds of drapery. But no matter how new the drapery or how ample it's folds, the ob- ject is always obvious. To assist it and to give it a reason for being a most be- coming background, the latest fashion of piano seats is as clever as it is com. fortable. These seats may be with or without backs and should be placed di- rectly against the piano, where the t;rapery falls. The Recamier bench, in which any woman might fancy she would look we'll after gazing upon the fair Recamier as she reclines against it's one arm, is peculiarly fitted to accom- plish the pleasing result sought by the housewife.

WOMAN AND HOME.
HINTS FOR wAEELwoMEN.

Their Education Should Not End with Learning to Mount and Ride. When the average young woman learns to dismount without bruising herself, and to mount without the as- distance of large body guard, she fond- ly imagines that her woes are at an end. She does not foresee the repair shop; her prophetic soul gives her no warning of the punctured tire; the mantle of the seer does not fall upon her, and she has no hint of mornings spent in the basement area cleaning her machine. She does not guess that n course in practical mechanics should be taught at the cycling academy.
 Every woman who intends to ride should learn to adjust her saddle and the handle bars. Before she goes for e ride she should test the saddle to see if 1t is perfectly firm. If it is not she should be able to tighten it. If she rides at night she should see that her lamp is filled and trimmed, that its glass is clear, and that it is firmly fastened in its place, so that no jolts or jars will dis turb it. Of course, if she rides at night, she must be provided either with match es or an escort.
 She must also learn the use of the va- rious tools found in the tool box. She may spend many a pleasant hour in cleaning and oiling her wheel. All the parts which are the centers of revolu- tion should be kept scrupulously clean. The dust of the road enters the crevices and combines with the oil in a way that is fatal to speed md ease in pro- polling the machine. Chcesecloth rags which are free from lint should be used to clean these parts. They should be oiled once for about every 100 miles if the cyclist be n fairly frequent patron of the road, and about once fortnight if she does not ride often or far at time.
 When the chain begins to look cloggsd 1t should be removed and soaked in ker- osene to clean it. Then 1t should be thoroughly dried, rubbed with some good lubricant. and restored to Its posi- tion.-Chicago Tribune.

for mankind the Creator in the begin 1.ing used an especial kind of gumby clay for Indian traders, and when the generic batch was baked it was found that the palms of the hands were still snoist, and whatever came in contact ehcrewith stuck fast. Hill, therefore, 2cing an Indian trader. was not man of undemonstrative integrity or acute conscience. Empowered so to do by .-wntpomminy," which is the govern 1nent of the United States, he followed out the ancient custom of this kind, and bought the goods of the Indians for one-tenth their value ana paid for them in material from his store at ten times ifs cost. It was the regular thing. There was no singularity or adventure about it. His life was simply a monot- onous rut of robbery.
 One day Hollow Horr Antelope came into the trading post and offered for barter hide. Hides were worth eight dollars, and Hollow Horn Ante 1ope knew it, but he also knew that 12 persons could not subsist through . month of iuclement weather on hand fui of coffee and tablespoonful of 6cans--in other words, the ration is- sued to him. Hollow Horn Antelope had seven wives, but he was virtuous md acknowledged only one of them, and so was enabled to draw rations only for the one noted down. Verify sn acceptance of the tradition of the missionary had worked so,e distress to Hollow Horn Antelope, and the six of his wives who were not counted in, but who had appetites. Being in need of sood for his harem, the Indian had brought hide to Hill, expecting to be n sufferer from official larceny, but hop 5ng to get at least one-siNth of the value of the commodity. Hill looked at the hide contemptuously, and, remarking that it had been poorly skinned, he di- rccted Yellow Bird. his Sioux clerk. to put it in the storehouse and give Hol- low Horn Antelope six bits worth of Co<ifish.
 The codfish was spoiled.
 Yellow Bird was Hollow Horn Ante 2opc's cousin.
 The next week Hollow Horn Ante 1ope appeared secretly and mysterious ly unto Hill. The trader realized that something important was about to 'cvcntuate, and he called upon Yellow Bird to come back into the rear room of the trading store and interpret. Yel- low Bird had been educated at Carl sle and was proud of it. His conversation

 "Behold," said Yellow Bird, impress sive.y, "this man is q thief"
 Hill tried to look shocked and grieyed. but ended by an expression of disgust. -'Is that ali" he inquired.
 -'He had stolen hide," Yellow Bird declared, in an awed voice, and Hollow Horn Antelope shrank back abiectly Then Yellow Bird, with palliating volu- gbility, recited the long story of the theft, but Hill interrupted by demand ing look at the hide so that he would Know what to offer the Indian. Hollow Horn Antelope unrolled the package and revealed reasonable looking beef hide, but the tail was missing.
 ''He stole this hide," Yellow Bird cx. Jsained, "but he is an honest man md calls to your attention the fact that it 1ds tailless hide. He is ashamed of it. therefore, and will offer it at a bar 2u1n for six dollars"

In France the various green salads for which that country is famous are pre- pared at the table by the dainty hands of the hostess, and the practice of tear ing the leaves of lettuce apart with the fingers instead of cutting with a fork is gaining ground among Americans.

MATCH BOXES FOR GIRLS.
of Mans Prerogatives Seized
 Upon by the New Woman.

Another of Mans Prerogatives Seized
 Upon by the New Woman.
 Until this year the match box hcs been the unquestioned, exclusive prop erty of man. Never once did he think of such thing as the fairer sex borrow. ing it. He may have had presentment of her laying claim to his necktie. but his matchboX-never.
 But the bicycle girl, who makes what ever she wants possible, has now laid siege to mans matchbox. If she con templates riding at night she needs matches to light her lamp, and neces sarily she must carry them in match, box.
 That is the reason that there are any number of new match boxes this year which are smaller and more dainty than anything in this line ever seen before.
 Do girls buy them?" prominent jeweler was asked. To which question he answered: "Yes, indeed. The smaller sizes are made particularly for their special use."
 The prettiest of the new match boxes for girls are of gold with an enamelcd decoration. The enameling either takes the form of college or yacht club flag or it resembles hand-painted minia. ture showing a girl on a wheel or the head of dog. Many of these match. boxes are made with concealed recess for photograph. It is only when a certain spring is touched that the pic. ture co n he seen so skillfully is if h;dda, away. ...
 The silver matchboxes, decorated with the outline of tiny bicycle in enamel, are also new and much less ex. pensiye.-N, Y, Journal.

gathered around defects. A leg would be missing here, hole would be in the shoulder there or the tail would be gone. Toward the last the hides be- gan growing smaller, and Hollow Horn Antelope explained that he was giving his sole attention to the theft of calf skins and demanded larger pay accord ingly, for calfskins were of course worth more for uppers than cowsl:ins were for sole leather.
 One day Hill said to Yellow Bird: "Yellow, we must have bought at least 40 hides from Hollow Horn Antelope. 1 have paid him over $50. Let us get them together next Tuesday and take them in to the station and market them. 1 don't like to have so many stolen hides on hand. If any suspicion were to arise l should hate to have to prove so many Indian claimants to be liars" Yel. low Bird said that was sensible and that he would get things into shape. In the meantime he wished to say some. thing which had long been on his mind. While he loved the store and it's associa- tions, still it was certain that man must be true to himself and his own good, and Cody had offered him. through Maj. Burke, position in the service of the Wild West show, and he expected to leave Wednesday to join the party, Hill was very sorry, for Yellow Bird was most accomplished accessory to theft from ragged Indian coffee coolers.
