Valuable Lessons and Useful In
formation In the Barnum &
Bailey Show.

1t is just possible that no books in
the world will convey as much actual
information about the curious animals
inhabiting this earth as an hour spent
in viewing them in the Barnum q
Bailey Greatest Show on Earth, when
it comes here on Wednesday, July
14th. Here, too, may be seen the
elegant entertainment, afforded by
the fire king, the lightning calculator,
lady jugglers, dancers, child oracle,
magicians, snake charmers, and others,
besides all the queer musicians who
perform ON scores of quaint and
curious Instruments, and give
characteristic exhibitions eloquently
depicting international games and
amusements. In the same tent may
be seen also Johanna, the remarkable
female gorilla, and the big blue-nosed
mandrill, also the only one in captiv-
ity, which have become famous from
being loaned to the geological garden
at Central Park, New York, by Mr.,
Bailey, and where they excited the
wonder of thousands daily. These
are the only animals of their kind at
present in captivity in the world.
Besides these again there is most
amazing exhibition of trained
animals, where nearly all kinds go
through a series of performances Of a
most startling character, when also
10 trained horses perform at one time
in one ring, and execute singly, in
groups, and in whole companies
remarkable feats, Equestrian
tournaments, leaping and tumoling
contests, aerial, trapeze, around, aero

each other in such rapid succession
that the eye can scarce keep them
within range. And all these are in
three rings, on three stages, on the
race track, and In the arena. A veri-

remedy was the one of most interest to the
sauaws of the tribe, it being prepared by them
as in fact were all the other remedies. To-
day Kickapoo Indian Prairie Plant can be
bought of any druggist, and it is identically
the same as when it was prepared by the
Indians centuries ago. Other Kickapoo In
dian Remedies can also be bought, and it
should be remembered that these medicines
are all-whiIe prompt and efficient in their
action absolutely harmless, as they contain
no poisonous ingredients of any description.

will reward them. Kickapoo Indian Sagwa

1t has been decided to change the
hour of opening the kindergarten
from $50 as previously announced to
9 o'clock. The session will then close
at II instead of 1890. The change
was made in accordance with the
desire of number of the parents.
Nearly 20 have appeared for the
summer work and more are expected.
The room has been refitted and the
blackboards lowered so as to give a
little more space to the children for
that exercise.
The Model school has proved as
large as was expected. The primary
and intermediate departments are
crowded. The total enrolment is
somewhat over two hundred.

The eight are divided into two sides

in his turn. drives the ball toward c.
The player at C, II the shot be accurate,

this is done, the game is won. In the
following games the positions of the
two sides are reversed.
II the player at A fails in his shot
the player at has the ball, and, taking
it to his square. drives it toward 2. If
the ball gains that square. the "out"
side continues with it, endeavoring to
send it from square TO square until the
center is reached, when the game is
won by that side.
The rule is that whenever a player
fails in shot, the player of the oppo-
site side, whose location is nearest the
balls stopping place, gains possession
of the ball for the next shot.
The most important positions are
those of the players at and D, since if,

A GAME PIE.
How to Prepare Very PalAtabIe Holiday
Dish.

How to Prepare o Very PalAtable Holiday
Dish.
The most simple method Is to make
what is generally called a timbale. To
raise the crust from the pie with the
hands Is difficult task and can only b.
accomplished by skilled and experienced
hands. Therefore the raised pies arc
usually made in q mold, and have the
advantage of being more easily made
than where the paste is raised with the
hands. Make a stiff, short crust; to
every pound of flour allow half pound
of butter, the yolks of two eggs and
half pint of water. Work 1t up very
smoothly. Butter a raised pie-mold
and line with the paste. Previous to
shaking the crust, bone the game-par-
Bridge, quail, woodcock, or whatever is
TO be used-and rub well with pounded
mace, allspice, Pepper and salt; then
spread over ali a layer of force-meat
made by chopping two ounces of ham.
one teaspoonful Of parsley and the
peel of half lemon; mince very fine,
add q seasoning to taste of salt, cayenne
and mace; blend all thoroughly to-
gether with six ounces of breadcrumbs.
Beat two eggs, work these up with the
other ingredients, and use as directed.
Roll the fowl over the force-meat. Line
the pie with force-meat; put in the
game, packing it nwell; wet the edges,
put on cover of paste, pinch the edges
together; brush over with the beaten
yolk of an egg, and bake in a moderate
oven for four hours. In the meantime.
make q good, strong gravy from the
bones; pour it through a funnel into
the hole at the top, and the pie is ready
for use. If the pie is to be eaten cold
tie gravy must be considerably reduced
before it is poured into the pie, as.
when cold, it should form a firm jelly,
hence it is wise to use knuckle of veal
In making the Jelly. Should the pie
acquire too much color in baking cover
with a piece of brown paper, as the
crust should not in the least degree
be burned. Mushrooms, truffies or
oysters may be added to enrich the
flavor of these pies. These pies are
more frequently served cold than hot.
The cover is sometimes carefully re-
moved, leaving the perfect edges, and
the top garnished with bits of bright
aspic and sprigs of fresh parsley, which
gives an exceedingly pretty effect
