A sss~.~-wHITE ROBIN.
How One Of These Rare Creatures
Was Discovered by q Lover
Of Birds and Nature.

A large tract, not very far from Chi
cago, unfrequented even by sportsmen.
has been taken possession of by birds
and "beasties." Hundreds of them live
here the year round. Warm-weather
birds spend the summer months here.
and thrcngs of hardy little creatures
shelter themselves here throughout the
winter and listen for the spring.
One day last September pushed my
way through this wood down to the
creek to see what condition the fences
were in-for sometimes old Mosquito

by to the summer birds. It was a
lucky day for me. Besides being near
to lark when he rose with his song in
his throat, 1 flushed a covey OF quail
from the edge of the brush, heard a
flicker drum his best tune on half
decayed limb, and, best of all, I saw
a white robinl This was the way it
happened: I was coming home about
four o'clock, when just before me in
a little open space on the ground were
five or six robins, supping on some Der
ries. Among them was one white as
the driven snow. I could hardly be-
heve my eyes. Involuntari1y I stood
still and riveted my gaze on the little
albino. The flock fingered several sec

ing in tree not far away. I moved
carefully till L could command sight OF
this tree, and in a few minutes I saw
them fly again, this time to disappear
in the tree tops. The fact which inn
pressed me most in my observation OF
this robin and it's companions was that
neither the white one nor the red
breasts seemed conscious of any pc.
culiarity in its appearance. Unlike the
white blackbird of the old Latin read.
er, the bird appeared to be on the most
friendly terms with those around it
picking up seeds and chirping with the
rest. The little company was doubt
less preparing to go south, for robins
are wont to gather in fiocks in the
woods just before migrating.
All robins have more or less white in
their feathers, but a robin perfectly

CHICKEN TAMALES.
How to Prepare a Dish Which Is
Esteemed Quite Highly In Some
Parts of the West.

To make chicken tamales, boil two
in water enough to cover until the skins
of the corn will slip off; then wash the
corn and grind it very fine. Boil a
large chicken, and mix the liquor in
which the chicken was boiled with the
ground corn, adding a pound of firm
lard and salt to taste. Having boiled
pound of red peppers until soft, remove
the seeds and mash the peppers to
pulp; add a garlic button (chopped)
and one-half a pound of ground chillies.
Mix this preparation with the chicken.
Fill wet corn husks Gnner husks) with
the mixture, alternately with the meal
and chicken, tie up, and boil from As
minutes to an hour in gallon of water.
When all are half done turn the top ones
over. This mixture will make dozen
hot tamales" Serve hot, with the
husks opened, and the tamales piled on
a napkin.
A more simple process is to use
quart of scalded corn meal instead of
the hulled corn, and a lump of butter
the size of a walnut instead of the lard.
In this case take lump of the dough,
pat it out into a thin, fiat cake, put one
spoonful of the above chicken mixture
on it, roll them together, then roll the
tamale tightly in the corn shucks; tie
the ends of the shucks together in
knot to keep the tamales from coming
open; these need to boil only about 20
minutes.-Mrs. W. L. Tabor, in Farm
and Fireside.

THE ART OF COOKING.
1t Lies In Knowing How to Prepare
One Dish in Hundred APP
petfzinE Ways.

No more should be cooked than is in
tended to be eaten at one meal, says
Mrs. Lemcke, the cooking expert. The
true art of cooking lies not in cooking
large pieces of meat, or in cake, bread
and pastry baking, but in how to pre-
pare one kind of meat and fish in
hundred different ways, how to utilize
everything so that nothing is wasted
and to convert all that may be left from
one meal to savory and palatable dishes
for the next; to combine herbs, spices,
onion, chives and garlic in such a way
that all the ingredients are harmonious
ly blended, that nothing predominates;
that vegetables retain their natural
favors and are not spoiled by the in
gradients added; that meat is cooked
in such way that nothing of its nu-
tritious value is lost. A great deal of
the unhappiness of this world is due to
poor food. Drunkenness, which is
craving for stimulating and intoxicat-
ing drinks, is a certain consequence of
an injudicious diet. If all our women
were better acquainted with the ele-
ments of the human system they would
then know that no one can keep in good
health unless these elements receive
the proper nourishments to supply the
waste of tissue.

MISTRESS AND MAID.
The Servant Trouble Is I'm Large
Measure Due to the InefHciency
of Housewives.

stI have always believed thoroughly
that at the bottom of much of the serv-
ant trouble lies the inefficiency of the
average housewife" writes Helen Wat
terson Moody, in the Ladies' Home
Journal How is it possible that an
ignorant servant, though willing.
should become capable, except through
such training as a skilled mistress can
give her, or how can most efficient
maid live up to her own ideals under
mistress who, having no training, and
therefore no standards of her own,
must be lacking in understanding and
appreciation of the work of others?
And yet if you ask almost any house
keeper to define good servant she will
tell you it is one who relieves her from
care and responsibility. What would
be thought of the head of a banking
house who estimated his employees sole
ly accordingly to their ability to relieve
him of the duties that properly belong
to himself? The banker values clerk
who is able to obey orders intelligently,
and upon whose fidelity he can rely,
but he does not expect him to do his
thinking for him. You see, the trouble
with us, as mistresses, is largely that
we want to be relieved of the response
bility that comes with home making,
instead of accepting it as our chief con-
Germ in life, studying 1T as we would
any other profession, meeting all its
requirements with skill and knowl-
edge, and seeing, back of all the trying
and petty details, the dignity and value
of the work we are doing. I do not
wish to seem to undervalue the diff
culties of the profession. 1t is not an
easy one; it is the hardest one 1 know,
and it is often filled with details that
are neither pleasant nor dignifed. But
SO are the professions of medicine, of
Journalism, of law, and even the min
istry."

Clo.e.t shave on Recora.

Lumbermen were rolling logs down
bluff into the St. Johns river, Canada.
Near the foot of the hill there was a
slight ridge, and now and then a log
would. strike it and bound into the air,
landing well out into the river. Some
times a log went astray and got stuck,
and then a man had to go down to dis
lodge it. Once when this happened a
man was prying at log when two men
came to the top of the bluff with an
other log, and by some mischance it
started down. They called to the man
below, but there was no chance to seek
shelter. Down rolled the log, gaining
relocity with every foot, and then it
struck the ridge, gave a great bound,
md went high over the mans head.
rhe lumbermen call it the closest shave
on record.

ID little ducklings from an old mother
duck. She carried them all down in

all the little baby ducks huddled about

MAKES HAIR GROW.
Kerosene, So Some Women Claims
Is the Best Scalp Tonic That
Can He Applied.

It has been given out for some time
by hair specialists that kerosene pro-
NOTED the growth of the hair and pre-
vented its falling out. Women as a
rule have been 10th to try the expert
ment unless preparation of deodorlzed
oil could be found.
A woman was found recently who as
tonished her friends, upon being COM
plimented upon the fine appearance of
her hair, by telling them that it was
due entirely to a persistent and thor
ough treatment with the familiar kero-
sene of corner grocery commerce.
Il have applied it regularly once
fortnight in the following MANNER"
she said: "a little is poured into a
saucer and rubbed with the fingers into
the roots of the hair. The application
is slow and thorough, the gentle mas
sage of the finger tips keeping the
pores open for the absorption of the oil.
'"The treatment is made at night, and
my hair is afterward tied up in a silk
handkerchief. A silk handkerchief is
recommended by hairdressers as most
useful in retaining the natural electrici-
ty of the hair. By noon the following
day the odor of the kerosene has disap-
peared, and in another IL hours the oili-
ness that followed it's use is gone.
''The effect of this treatment is
promptly noticeable. 1 have used no
kerosene for two years. The present
condition of my hair is due to a six
months faithful treatment.-N. Y.

Mantelli. The first one ever seen by
white eyes was caught in 1S49. a sec

the first, it was tracked over snow and
caught with dogs, fighting stoutly and
altering piercing screams of rage until
overmastered. Both became the prop
erty of the British museum. After that
