Making Sandwiches

Ninety -nine women in a hundred
making sandwiches for company ex
pected in the evening, and wanting
them crustless, will cut the crust off
after slicing the bread. Take whole
loaf of bread, cut the sides and top crust
off, leaving the bottom crust on. Then,
having squared off one end, spread on
your deviled ham,. sardine paste or
whatever and cut thin slice back to
the bottom crust. Release the slice by
running your knife down just inside
the bottom crust. Then neither the
bread nor your temper is crumpled. -

Til1age In a Dry season.

For cultivated crops tillage is rec
commended in dry season, in order that
greatest possible amount of moisture
may be retained where the feeding roots
are located; the dry, pulyerized soil acts
like a mulch and diyerts more of the
moisture to the roots of the plants. Till
age also destroys weeds, which require
for their growth quite as much plant
food and moisture as cultivated plants.
1t should be remembered that too deep
cultivation in dry seasons frequently
does more harm than good, unless, in
the preparation of the seed bed, the soil
has been thoroughly and deeply pulver-
ized.-E. B. Voorhees,.

Fright Killed Them.

The English Surgeon-General Fran
els tells of a drummer in India across
whose legs a harmless lizard crawled
while he was half asleep. He was sure
that a cobra had bitten him, and it
was too much for his nerves and he
died.
Frederick l. of Prussia was filled by
fear. His wife was insane, and one
day she escaped from her keepers and
dabbling her clothes in blood, rushed
upon her husband while he was doz-
ing in his chair. King Frederick i'm
aginad her to be the white lady, whose
ghost was believed to invariably ap-
pear whenever the death of member
of the royal family was to occur, and
he vas thrown into fever and died
in six months.
Perhaps the most remarkable death
from fear was that of the Dutch paint
er Pentman who lived in the seven
teenth century. One day he went into
a room full of anatomical subjects to
sketch some death heads and skeletons
for a picture he intended to paint The
weather was very sultry, and while
sketcning he fell asleep. He was
aroused by bones dancing around him
and the skeletons suspended from the
ceiling clashing together. In a fit of
terror he threw himself out of the win
dow, and though he sustained no in
jury, was informed that a slight earth
quake had caused the commotion
among his ghostly surroundings. He
died in a few days in a nervous trenor.

REINDEER USELESS.
The Expedition Sent to Alaska
Proves a Failure.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The COM
plete failure of the Alaskan reindeer
expedition was announced to the War
Department to-day in a telegram from
General Merriam, commanding the mill
itary department of the Columbia.
This telegram summarizes report
from DR.. Sheldon Jackson, at Dyea, TO
the effect that they are a failure in
Alaska, for want of proper forage and
useless for all the exploring expeditions
in Alaska; that many are already dead,
but moss has been found by which part
Of the herd may be saved; that the TIME
lost will compel the reorganization of
exploring expedition No. 1, if it is to go
on, but on the advice of Captain Ray
and his own judgment, DR.. Jackson rec
ommends the recall of the expedition,
remarking that Captain Ray brings
full information of the region now eX-
pected to be explored and that the ser
vices of Captain Brainerd are no long
er required in that connection.
Expedition No. / referred to was to
have proceeded to Dawson from Dyea
over what is known as the Dawson
trail, and was in command of Captain
Brainerd.
Acting on the recommendation of Gen.
eraI Merriam, an order was issued at
the War Department to-day relieving
Captain Brainerd from further duty
with the expedition in Alaska, and di-
recting him to report in person to the
Commissary- General of Subsistence at

Tales of the peculiar power they exert

ra are so multitudinous that they seem
almost legendery. Certainly a very
large part of their supremacy among
men was due to this strange force Both

other hand, while to many a very at
tractive personality, does not rule men
by any subtlety of personal magnetism
He is notably careless of effect in mar
ner. He is rugged as a cliff. While
he is withal man of big kindness of
heart, he often is relentless as a serpent
in his stinging sarcasm. He reignS by
the sheer largeness of his uncomprom-
Using and unanswerable manhood. All
three of these speakers have been too
pronounced to be President. To Clay
and Blaine the Presidency was the most
daring ambition. But both at critical
moments lost it; Clay because of his
high principle in writing the unpopular
Texas letter about which he said, Il
had rather be right than be President ="
and Blaine because of sudden concert
of trifling atoms against him which all
together made an obstacle he could not
clear. To Reed, however, the Presi-
dency is no such magnet. But, though
the question of the Presidency seems TO
interest him but little, perhaps, for that
reason he is in some convention the
more likely to be singled out for it.
