A CLEVER INDIAN MAIDEN.
She Takes Naturally to UD-to-Dats
Ways.

If tie Indian braves do not take
kindly to civilization, it does not follow
that the Indian women don't. Lucy
Nicolar is the daughter Of the late Jo-
seph Nicolnr of the Penobscot tribe,
which has its rescrvtion on an island,
known as Indian island, in the Penob-
scot, river in Maine. Lucy is just COM
ing into her teens, and is a bright miss
of marked beauty, and wherever she
goes with bnskets or Indian exhibits
many 4 young American who looks
upon the Indian maiden feels that the
land of the Penobscots must be ''the
land OF handsome women" Just now
Lucy is receiving private instruction
that she may enter hi gh school. Her in
structor says that she is bright in her
forte. Lucy is perhaps the most pro-
fcient piano player on the island, being
the owner OF IN instrument. She also
sings plcasingly. But the skill Of the
tribe is rot forgotten by this young
member. for she can make ba skets, etc.
as well as some of the older ones. Lucy
is also an accomplished bicycle rider,
and has bought a wheel out Of her saw
ings The mother OF Lucy, Mrs. Martha
Nicolar, is ono of the finest-looking
members of the tribe, a woman respect-
ed by all who know her. She is presi-
dent Of the Wa-ba-na-ki, the only Indi
an ~ oman club in the country.

DEVOTION OF A PIGEON.

Elwood Bird Works fos Days to He
lease an Imprisoned Companion.
A remarkable example of pigeons
devotion was illustrated at Elwood re-
Gently. There are many coops of car
rier pigeons in that city. Some days
ago pet pigeon disappeared from its
accustomed retreat at the storage
house of the Indianapolis Brewing com
pany. No trace of it could be found.
a few days later the old pigeon was
noticed acting strangely. 1t began fly
ing viciously against the outside of the
building and striking the weather
boarding with her bill and head. She
would fly to the Panhandle car track
and with flying start dive back against
the side Of the building, always hitting
the same spot. She kept up her queer
actions until, it is claimed by those who
witnessed the affair, she actually
clipped hole through the siding.
She was later noticed carrying food
and dropping it through the small open
ing. An Investigation revealed the fact
that the missing bird had got fastened
between the weather boarding and the
lath. 1t called on the old bird and at
last attracted her attention. She be-
gnn work getting to it and after three
or four days succeeded in making a
large enough opening to get food
into it.

TO PREPARE sAvoRY HAM.
II May be Boiled in Cider OF baked in
Paste.

Paste.
Cider will soon be very cheap, and a
gallon can be put to no better use than
to help in producing the perfection of
boiled hams. Choose a medium-sized
ham, wash, scrub, weigh and soak in
plenty of cold water for "a hours; wipe
dry and simmer in the cider, allowing
Is minutes to each pound. Allow it
to stand over night to cool in the liquor,
then peel off the skin and wipe with
soft cloth until the surface is dry from
moist fat. Garnish with aspic jelly and
boiled vegetables cut in fancy shapes.
A very savory meat jelly may be quick
ly made for garnishing when aspic is
not at hand, by making clear bouillon
from chopped beef or beef paste, color
with sliced onions fried very brown in
butter, and pour u pint boiling hot on
quarter of box of gelatine soaked for
few minutes in q. little cold broth.
Salt and pepper to taste, strain and put
away to set.
\ ham baked in a paste is another
delicious change, and once this recipe,
though slightly extra trouble, is tried
the ordinary one will be laid aside. Pre-
pare the ham as directed above, mix
up about quart OF flour with enough
cold water to make 4 stiff paste. Cover
the flesh side with this. Put in a moder-
ate oven; while the crust is still soft
begin TO baste with sherry wine; do
this every ten minutes until large
cupful is used; after that there will be
sufficient gravy in the pan to continue.
Ten MINUTES more must be allowed for
each pound in cooking, as the paste pro-
tects the meat. When done the crust
and skin are to be peeled Off, the ham
sprinkled with crisp bread crumbs aud
sent to table garnished as above. The
hasting is troublesome, but with cooler
autumn days should not be minded.
Darbecued ham may be served by help
of little sherry. Put large slice Of
the baked ham in the hot frying pan:
season with pepper, salt and mixed
mustard; add teaspoon of vinegar; it
will brown quickly on one side; keep
the pan on hot place; turn the slice,
sprinkle in very little sugar and a
wineglass of sherry; bring to the boil
and serve. The sugar is not noticeable,
but does away with the acidity of the
vinegar and brings out the favor.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

Last month Kansas City haldled
more cattle than did Chicago. Light
years ago in the same month Chicago
handled more than twice as maN as
Kansas City. In other words. the
figures show that in eight years Kansas
CITY has increased her business 90 per
cent and Chicago has decreased 40 per
cent. The balance of Chicago's loss
has gone TO Omaha. And yet Chicago
insists that it is the market Of the coun-
try. II the same ratio OF loss is kep. up
by Chicago for ten years more. there
will hardly be n local market left

Good Goods, Well Advertised.

Good Goods, Well Advertised.
Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking
Powder Company is the largest adver
tser in America. or course, the busi-
ness itself must be an enormous one to
justify so great an expenditure in
publicity. There is no fallacy more
dangerous than that success can be
gained by advertising an article Of in
different merit. But, given an article
OF the highest quality like Royal Bak
ing Powder, which when the honse-
keeper has once used she finds If she
desires the best food she cannot do
without, then the greatest measure of
success is attained by keeping it con-
tinuously before the public. Great
merit and good advertising are both
essential to make a product a great
success. The ROYAL Baking Powder
possessing the first, its prOprietnrs have
wisely used the second, and the result
Is apparent throughout the land. The
ROYAL company believe that there is no
medium for advertising like the news
papers, since in these enlightened days
everybody reads them.
