A Graduate in Paint and Feathers.

Seymour Foose, an old Kansan who
resides in Blaine County, Oklahoma,
gives the Wichita Eagle an interesting
account of how difficult it is to make
civilization stick with the Indian: A
number of Cheyenne and Arapahoe
Indians have been sent from Blaine
County to be educated in the white
mans ways, most of them to the
school at Carlisle. On their return
they carry all Of the evidences of civ
ilization-dress in white mans clothes
and speak English we'll. A few weeks
contact with the tribe works wonders.
The first indication of their return to
savagery is the manner in which they
let their hair grow long. Next they
become r%eticent, and a few months
puts them into blankets and leggings.
The fact is the wild Indians laugh at
the educated ones and shame them in
to returning to the savage state. Red
Bird, a chief of the Cheyennes, is a
graduate of Harvard, but he wears
blankets and paints his face with YER
million. kansas City Journal.

Baked Ice Cream.

Baked. ice cream, so o cooking
school teacher demonstrates, may be
made by beating the whites Of six eggs
very stiff and dry, and stirring in, by
degrees, six tablespoonful of powdered
sugar, all whipped together to a light
meringue. If a brick of very hard
frozen ice is set in this and covered
thickly, entirely, and speedily with
the egg, it may be set-working very
fast-into an oven piping hot and
Drowned over without the ice cream
melting perceptibly. 1t will then be
found to be q most delicious compound
of soft hot m~eringue and the firm ice
underneath, but the preparation is
only possible to a rapid yet thorough
worker, since if the meringue falls at
all, or if it does not cover every part
of the brick, the whole is ruined. An
other way of connecting baked ice
cream is to envelop the brick in a
sheet of pastry Of paper-like thinness.
This may be baked in the same man
ner, in an oven so hot that it requires
but q seconds time to brown the
outer shell. It is less bother to make,
and more apt to be successful, but the
meringue is the better in result, if it
succeeds New York Post.

Stewed Pigeons, Served in a Nest.

Skin, clean and joint three nice
pigeors. Place in a pot three slices
of salt pork, cut up fine, brown nicely,
and add one carrot, small onion,
one stalk of celery, all cleaned and cut
up into dice. On the top of this lay
the pigeons; sprinkle them with n
tablespoonful of pepper, half a teaspoon
full of salt and q blade of pounded
mace; add water enough to cover the
game and simmer gently until tender.
It will probably take three hours.
Make a sauce by rubbing n table
spoonful of -four into two of melted
butter, and dilute the same with the
pigeon liquor. Boil up. In mean
time have boiled n dozen of maca-
roni stalks (broken into two-inch
length pieces) in slightly sailed water
for twenty minutes; drain and pour
over them one tablespoonful Of melted
butter; heap on a platter to look like
q nest; place pigeons in the nest, pour
over them the strained sauce and serve
Immediately.
At this time of year pigeons--ean be
purchased, costing less than 12t cents
apiece. Therefore, in preference to
roasted meat, it is a very palatable
dish.-Chicago Record.

Household Hints.

Much coal is wasted by keeping
draught on unnecessarily.
Sterilized milk is safer for infants
than is milk simply warmed.
All cold vegetables left e should
be saved for future use in soups or
salads.
People of small means can live well
if care is taken that there is no waste
in the kitchen.
Wealthy people spend double as much
as is necessary from lack of care in do
mestic matters.
Cold water put into glasses or dishes
from which eggs have been eaten will
soften the egg and make washing easy.
To have a custard pie of an even,
nice brown when baked, sprinkle a lit
tie sugar we the top just before put
ting it into the oven.
Carpets andrugs can be as thoroughly
beaten spread on the grass as hung
over a line, and with much less danger
of injury. In either case they should
be beaten on the wrong side first.
A good jelly may be made from
rhubarb by boiling to q pulp, strain
ing, and after adding a pound of cut
sugar to each pint of juice boiling,
skimming often, until it %jellies on the
skinner.
All things considered, a solution of
OK gall and warm soft water, in the
proportion of one pint of the former to
two gallons of the latter, is the best
cleansing and f%reshening agent for
carpets. If spots are obstinate, use
white soap also.
Often very rich cream will not whip
up readily; it should have q little milk
added to it. Cream should be very
cold to whip easily and quickly. If it
is we'll chilled there is not the danger
of the cream whipping to butter as
housekeepers frequently complain it
does.
If tinted willow furniture is very
dusty, wash in clear water, using a
brush in the crevices and dry in the
shade. Willow or rattan furniture in
natural color may be thoroughly
scrubbed with a stiff brush, warm water
and white soap. Dry in the sun and
wind.

Fish With Legs Found in Colorado.

Fish With Legs Found in Colorado.
Much CONSERVATION and still more
wonder was created in the State House
yesterday morning by the discovery in
the office of Mrs. Martha A. Shute,
Secretary of the State Board of Agri-
culture, of an a~xolotl, or fish with legs,
which had become metamorphosed in
to a salamander. All kinds of theories
to account for it's presence there were
preached during the day. Of these
theories the strangest appears to be the
most tenable. This is that the evolut-
ed axolotl was taken up by evapora-
ton from a mountain lake near the
City of Mexico, where it's species is
abundant, to come to earth again in
Denver with Thursday afternoons alb
normally heavy rainfall. Yesterday
morning, when Janitor Smith opened
the windows in order to air the Office
against the arrival of Mrs. Shute, he
beheld an object on the sill outside
which caused him to spring back in
horror. Squatted on the sill was a
hideous, dirty-hued green and yellow
reptile, about ten inches in length,
with a head like that of a bulldog, IN
enormous mouth, wide open, six web.
footed paws and a tail that tapered to
q lash and was curled at the end

Agriculture in Iceland.

Almost within the arctic circle, in
north latitude sixty-fve to seventy de.
grees, Iceland, with it's population Of
70, 600, is warmed on the west coast by
the Gulf Stream, and can raise fair hay
crops ard sparse root crops. About
sixty-f;ve per cent. of the population
are occupied in rearing sheep and cat
tie, '5hich are largely consumed at
home, the first named exported in
moderate numbers to British ports.
Sheep are not shorn, but in early
summer the feeces loosen on the ami
NAL, and the loose wool is easily de-
tached; most Of the surplus goes to
England.

Simmer Care of Blanketa.

Blankets after the winter use are never
clean, and should not be put away without
being washed. Many housekeepers in view
Of the shrinking and discoloring caused
by washing, satisfy themselves with airing
and shaking their blankets, but this il
q great mistake, for II the work Is prop
erly done the soft appearance and white
ness may be retained for years.
The most important consideration In
washing blankets is to have plenty Of
soft water and good soap. An inferior cheap
soap is really the cause Of the injury done
wooden goods in washing, as 1t hardens and
yellows the fibre. When ready to begin the
work, shake the blankets free Of dust, fn
q tub nearly full Of soft hot water, and dis.
solve a third of a cake Of Ivory soap in it.
Put one blanket in at q time and dip up and
down, gently washing with the hands.
Never rub soap on blankets, or wash
on the w~ashboard. After the blankets
are clean, rinse them in warm water until
free of suds. Add a little bluing to the last
water. Shake and squeeze rather than
wiring, and hang on the line until dry. Then
fold and pack away in a box securely to
exclude the moth. Blankets washed in this
way will keep their original freshness and
wear very much longer than II put away
soiled year after year. ELIZA R. PARKER.

Just Like Wings.

Louis Pierre Mouillard, a French
resident of Cairo, has invented a flying
machine, comprising an aeroplane of
concave surfaces, attached to the body
of the aviator and arranged to permit
movement of the planesin q horizontal
direction only with reference to the
body of the aviator, the apparatus de-
pending for support solely upon wind
pressure, and not upon any downward
thrust upon the air, either by Tapping
wings or revolving propeller wheels.
To a breastplate, provided with an
artificial sternum, are hinged wings,
each on a vertical axis, 80 al to be
capable of forward or backward motion,
the wing frames of aluminium tubing
being covered with silk or other suit
able fabric. When the planes are
thrust forward the aerodrome rises;
when they are pulled back it descends.
The wings are controlled by a spring,
upon which, the inventor says, ''the
life of the aviator depends" and which
must be strong ~enoughto hold, the two
wings with their edges on a straight
line at a speed of twenty-five miles an
hour. The aeroplane can glide upon
the air by a fall from q height suf-
fcient to procure a speed which shall
cause the air to s%upportthe apparatus,
or, by q skillful utilization of the force
of the wind, which must blow at least
ten miles an hour. The weight of the
apparatus should not exceed ffty-fve
pounds, and it is intended to sail with
winds varying between ten and twenty
five miles an hour.-Philadelphia Rec.

Intricate Humanity.

in the human body. Here are found
all the bars, levers, joints, pulleys,
pumps, pipes, wheels and axles, ball
and socket movements, beams,
Orders, trusses, buffers, arches, col.

Curious Substitute for a Drawbridge.

At the mouth of the River Nervion,
which flows into the Bay of Biscay, be-
tween Portugalete and Las Arenas, a
curious engineering structure has been
erected within the last few years to
transport passengers, cattle and vehi-
cles without interfering with the river
traffic. 1t consists. according to the
Manchester Guardian, of a couple Of
towers 200 feet high, one on each bank;
from these a bridge is suspended by
chains at a height sufficient to clear
the masts of vessels-that is, nearly
$50 feet above the water level of the
spring tides. This bridge carries a
line of rails on which q trolley is
pulled to and fro by m engine on the
Las Arenas or northern side. With
it goes a car, hung by steel cables, in
which the passengers take their seats.
This is not wound up to the top, but
stays at the level of the quays. Thus
the transit is effected quickly and reg
ularly, without the delay inseparable
from a swing bridge. A similar ''pont
transbordeur" is to be set up over the
Seine near Rouen by a French com.
Dany.

Especial New York Letter.
Never have the graduating gowns
been so pretty as this year. One win
some maid whom I know reminded
me of a garden lily in her frock of
white sunburst ACCORDION plated net
over an ACCORDION sham of white taffeta
silk. The bodice was trimmed with
clusters of black velvet ribbon run
ming about the body, and the skirt had
nine rows of the velvet ribbon around
the bottom.
Another commencement gown of rare
beauty was a simply-made organdie
over lemon taffeta silk. The waist was
shirred with square tabs falling over
the sleeves edged with lace. A mar
row ribbon sash was twisted three or
four times around the waist, ending
with a huge bow on n side.
A new bow for a waist band consists
of long loops reaching upward to the
waist. Finely wrought gold and silver
girdles III c%loisonnie patterns are again
in favor. After all, there is yet o re-
naming germ of ~barbarity in our COM
position, and the desire for fine adorn-

Noise Means TroubIa,

Too often we find that the tenn
"silent steed," as applied to a bicycle,
is something Of misnomer, and that
rattle or noise appears to develop in
some most unaccountable fashion. It
cannot be too widely known that any
kind Of noise in a bicycle is a clear
sign that something is wrong, and If
the rectifying Of the particular ailment
be beyond the powers of it's possessor
q really practical cycle mechanic
should be intrusted with the work.
The bicycle ought, when in good
order, to u as silently as a shadow,
making no noise save the crunching
Of the tires upon the roadway and the
buzz of the breeze in the spokes.-

Military Pigeons.

Such important fortresses as Metz,
Strasburg and Cologne contain 600
pigeons, and the military pigeon or
g~anization has been brought to the
greatest perfection in Germany. The
network of pigeon stations is so per-
feet that even if every railway and
telegraph wire in the German Empire
were in the hands Of an enemy, the
principal towns on the frontier could
communicate with one another, and
the capital, Berlin, could keep in
touch with them all by means of the
military carrier pigeon.

Criminal Fingers and Toes.

DR.. J.. Penta has studied the fingers
and toes of $500 criminals, and finds a
deficiency in the size or number of
toes quite frequent among them, al
though very rare among ordinary men.
He has also observed that prehensile
toes, marked by wide space between
the great toe and the second toe, is a
condition quite common among crimi-
nails; also a webbed condition of the
toes. The little toes are rudimentary
in many cases, showing a tendency
toward the four-toed animal foot; but
the most common of all the abnormali-
ties was the webbed condition Sci

were of white satin trimmed with stripes

Pearls are to be very fashionable in
