President Mckinley, says, the n. Y.
Tribune. has given the yellow journals
some advice on the subject of war
successes. He remarked that self
Iaudation and exaggeration detract
from rather than add to the brilliancy
of these achievements" He seems to
deprecate the practice of following the
Indian method of celebrating him
self, the constant repetition of Heap
Big Injun me-" The people of the
United States are divided into two
classes, one, that regards the war as
a necessary, but terrible evil, and an
other, and regards it as a prolonged
picnic, full of exciting incidents.
President Mckinley, himself a
soldier, and sober from his own ex-
periences, recalls the dark days which
followed the big Injun' days of the
first skirmishes of the Civil War and
the second thought of the Northern
people, that although they had the
resources of the world behind them,
they made little Roadway against a
people, who were without money, and
had to get their ammunition largely
through blockade runners.
1t is fortunate that President Nc
Kinley knows the meaning Of war, and
| discourages the whoop of the big
| Injun.'

I persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no

ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparills and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best

How . Young Cook Thought to Remedy

They had been visiting and while
away had been given such delicious
homemade biscuit that the memory Of
them still fingered in the mind. Why
shouldn't they have such things them
selves? The mistress Of the house dc.
Cided that they should, if she had to
make them herself. What good wife
would not be willing to take a little
trouble to please her husband? So in
this virtuous frame of mind she repair
ed to the kitchen, and there she stirred
up her biscuit in the most approved
fashion, shaped them daintily and put
them in the pan. But she was not &c
customed to this work, and it was not
strange that she should forget some Of
the ingredients. It was the baking pow
der, o small but somewhat important
item in the construction of light bis.
cult. She did not once think of it until
the biscuit had been in the oven a few
moments. Then, as she stood gazing
admiringly at the outside Of the range,
which contained this precious proof Of
her culinary skill, she suddenly ex-
claimed:
"There, I forgot all about the baking
powder"
That would have been a heartbreak-
ing thought to most housewives, but
not to this ne. She was a woman Of
expedients.
"Never mind" she said as she hur-
riedly thought over various ways Of
mending matters; ttthose biscuit have
only been in a short time, and I will
just sprinkle the baking powder over
the top, and it can melt and soak in. ~
And she did. but the baking powder did
not. The housewife herself tells this
story Of her cooking now with great
glee, while her husband, being a patient
man. never says a word about his part
Of it in the eating.-New York Times.

BIRDS THAT 90 NOT SING.
Although They All Utter Vocal Sounds
Of some Kind.

Although They All Utter Vocal Sounds
OF Some Kind.
Singing is applied to birds in the
same n that it is to human beings
the utterance Of musical notes. Every
person makes vocal sounds Of some
kind, but many persons never attempt
TO sing. So 1t is with birds. Tho eagle
screams, the owl boots. the wild goose
honks, the crow caws, but zone Of these
discordant sounds can be called singing,
With the poet the singing Of birds
means merry, light hearted joyoumess,
and most Of us + poetic enough to
view it in the same way. Birds sing
most in the spring and the early sum-
mer, those happiest seasons Of the year,
while employed in nest building and in
rearing their young. Many Of our most
musical singers are silent all the rest Of
the year; at least they utter only low
chirpings. It is natural, therefore, that
lovers Of birds should egard their sing
ing as purely an expression Of Joy in
the returning spring and in their hap
py occupations.
Outside Of what are properly CHASED
as song birds there are many species
that never pretend to sing-in fact,
these far outnumber the musiciana.
They include the water birds Of every
kind, both swimmers and waders; all
the birds Of prey, eagles, hawks, owls
and vultures. and all the gallinaoeous
tribes, comprising pheasants, cartridges,
turkeys and chickens. The gobble Of
the turkey cock, the defiant crow Of the
rooster and even the musical call Of the

that every one Of them, big Or little, Of

for their master makes them jealous or
makes them pretend to be jealous Of
everybody who approaches them, and
they debate momentarily whether or not
Q conner is afraid Of them. II he is not,
they either extend, a friendly salute,
which always is deoeitful, or assume to
