BUsHMAN HUNTING oSTRICHES.
No Serpent Can Traverse Grass with
Less Disturbance.


The Bushman divests himself Of all
his membranes; water vessels, food,
cloak, assegai and sandals are oil left
behind. Stark naked, except for the
hide patch about his middle, and armed
only with his bow, arrows and knife,
feeding more than mile away, and
there Is no covert but the long, SUM-
dried yellow grass, but that Is enough
for the Bushman. Worming himself
over the ground with the greatest cau-
ton, he crawls fat on his belly toward
the bird No serpent can traverse the
grass with less disturbasce. In the
space of an hour and half he has APP
preached within 100 yards of the tall
bird. Nearer he dare not creep on
his bare plain, and at more than IS
PAGES he cannot trust his light reed
arrows. lie lies patiently hidden In
the grass, his bow and arrows ready
in front Of him, trusting that the os-
trich may draw nearer.
1t Is long wait under the blazing
sun, close on two hours, but his in
stinct serves him, and at last, as the
sun shifts n little, the great ostrich
feeds that way. 1t is magnificent male
bird, jet black as to its body plumage,
and adorned with magnificent white
feathers upon its wings and tail.
Kwaneet's eyes glisten, but he moves
not muscle. Closer and closer the
ostrich approaches. Thirty PAGES, rs,
20. There is a light musical twang upon
the hot air, and tiny, yellowish ar
row sticks well into the breast of the
gigantic bird The ostrich feels a
sharp pang and turns ut once. In that
same instant second arrow is lodged
in its side just under the wing feathers.
Now the stricken bird raises its wings
from the body and speeds forth into
the plain. But Kwaneet is quite con-
tent. The poison of those two arrows
will do its work effectually. He gets
up, follows the ostrich, tracking IT..
after it has disappeared from sight,
by its spoor, and in two hours the game
lies there before him in the grass, dead

SUMMER DISHES.
sI,B. Rorcr's Way of Reducing the
Cooking to the Minimum.

N,s. Rorcr's Way of Reducing the
Cooking to the Minimum.
Much summer cooking may be done
on the installment plan. If asparagus
Is ordered for to-day's dinner, cook
double quantity and serve that remain
ing for to-morrow's salad. From
fricassee Of chicken for dinner the glib
let's may be saved for giblet stew for
the next days luncheon. You will
thereby gain dish without extra cost
Plotted fish, with cucumber sauce, may
be served as first course in place of
soup, but II the latter is preferred, a
quick soup may be made by stirring
beef extract into boiling water, and
seasoning 1t with celery seed and bay
leaf. Where light meats are to be
served some of the cream soups are not
out of place, as they contain nourish-
ment easily digested. Cream of po-
.ato, cream of pea, tomato, celery, as
paragus, rice, squash, cucumber and
lima bean soups are all very acceptable
In hot weather.
During the heated term the roast joint
might be served cold, nicely garnished
with edible greens. With it hot vege-
tables might be served. The hot meat
dishes should be light and quickly
cooked. Do away with the large joints
the pot roasts and the heavy boils, and
substitute chops, smothered beef, rolled
steak, broiled steak, Hamburg steak or
Turkish meat balls. Stuffed vegetables
may be served occasionally In the place
of eggplant stuffed with meat
and breadcrumbs, and tomatoes and
squash prepared in the same way. Slow
cooking makes these vegetables pala'
table and wholesome.-Mrs.S ). L. Rorer,
In Ladies' Home Journal.
A warning Against Dad Literature
Having started right, care should be
had that the mothers efforts are not
checkmated by some vapid, sentimental
and weak-minded servant or nurse girl.
Good reading should be furnished serv-
ants. and no servant should be allowed
to bring into the home matters which
are unclean, immoral or criminal
Servants having care Of children often
read or tell them trashy and sensational
stories which pique curiosity, arouse q
craving for the unreal and exaggerated
and familiarize the youthful mind with
details of shocking crimes. These Ell
fects are often produced by the nurses
taking children before shop windows
news stands and bill boards containing
mixtures of criminal and sensational
matters, and for the sake of keeping
them quiet allowing them to gaze upon
things which would not for one mo
ment be tolerated in the home by the
narent. Native innocence is destroyed
tastes are perverted, and the receptive
mind of childhood soon Graves these
unhealthy excitements.-Anthony Com
stock, in Chautauquan.

GOOD ADVICE.
Truth is Sometimes UnpaIatable, But

(From the Vallejo Chronicl

Sacramento has many things to he
proud of, a beautiful city, a large and
enterprising population, a magnificent
electric system of railroads. lights and
power, not excepting the beauties of
the state Capitol but its water system
It's bad, and its water is infinitely
worse. Bad and unwholesome water
Is positive injury to city, and it is
safe to affirm that the article served in
Sacramento is the meanest to be found
IN the State. Taking our own city as
a measure, with the benefits derived
from an expenditure of quarter of
million, Sacramento. with its popuIa-
ton five times that Of Vallejo. can we'll
afford to expend a million and quar-
ter in securing a service of pure water.
1t is in the power of the two leading
newspapers Of Sacramento, with the
assistance of progressive people. to
accomplish this end, and the sooner
they do it and cease putting money into
a system that serves up sewage, the
better it win be Tor that town and its
people. OF course it is none of our
business what Sacramento does. but
we take the opportunity to suggest
what we know it ought to do. 1t has a
line population, which at the present
time has our heartfelt sympathy. Cen
tlemen, bond your town to the limit
and secure the greatest blessing on
