Some Queer Definitions.

Having read to her pupils descrip-
ton of the sinking of the Merrimac,
the teacher some days later asked her
pupils what the word "catamaran, .
then used, meant. These are some of the
answers: ga catamaran is a mounting
lion. ''The catamaran is a savage Off
Ger in the Fillipose islands. - ga cata-
maran carries clubs in golf game. !"
"The catamaran is the place in Chicago
where the cat show was held. " "The
catamaran was convention hall prize. "
"The catamaran is the proper name for
catboat and war ram together like
the Catadin. - ''Hobson obtained cata-

A Wise Horse.

The reasoning capacity displayed at
times by some Of our domestic animals
is as amusing as it is remarkable.
Experiments made recently with a
horse, that animal to whom SO much
intelligence is attributed, showed that
he was able to count up to %. His
master had been accustomed to stop
ping him for feed ON a journey when
ever 20 milestones had been passed.
Left to himself the horse stopped at the
end of 25 miles for food.
To prove that it was the milestones
that guided the animal three extra
ones were put among the others. The
horse was fooled by this and stopped at
the end of 22 miles.

Bouillon capsules of well known max

Buy Carefully.

A circular issued by the art commit
tee of the General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs is at once broad and practical
in its scope. After several specific rec
concentrations to different classes of
clubs it includes a general suggestion
to all clubs. OF this one clause is di-
rectly applicable to the housekeeper,
whether she be clubwoman or not. 1t
suggests "the urgent necessity of Gull
tivating the ability to buy correctly by
a careful and systematic selection of
articles which shall be of good design
and harmonious in color. No advice
is more needed. There is not purchase,
whether trivial or expensive, that does
not come within the province Of this
suggestion.

The Baby at the Phone.

Telephones are SO common in Cleve-

familiar with the ''hello" mysteries,
says The Plain Dealer.
A appointment professional man was as

his 4-year-old daughter.
"Hello, papa"

To Keep Groceries.

Instead of keeping sugar, tea, oat-
meal and other groceries in the paper
bags in which they are sent from the
store, put them at once in small wooden
boxes OF large Jars with tight fitting
covers A great deal of strength will be
lost if the groceries are kept carelessly
in the paper bags, besides the untidy
appearance of the pantry shelves, the
inconvenience and the waste that is
sure to be great in the course Of the
year by the tearing of the paper bags
and the splitting of the contents over
the pantry shelves.

YOUTHS DEPARTMENT..
Making and Baking Bread on Camels.
How Cinnamon work-The Wis
dom of Horse.

There are very few American families
that do not stay at home long enough
to eat and also to prepare their meals.
But then American customs differ in
every way from those Of the Bedouins,
as some of the wandering tribes of
Arabs are called. The religion Of Bed
ouin tribe seems to be to "move on
ward. Having once begun the nomadic
life it becomes almost necessary for
them to keep it up In the first place,
they don't want to settle down, and
they wouldn't have any place to stop if
they wanted to. Sometimes it becomes
expedient that they make great haste
in those long journeys. Wandering
around over the plains are other tribes
whose only occupation is moving on "
There is frequently enmity between two
of these Arabian families, and should
one pursue the other it behooves the
pursued to hasten onward with all the
speed their animals are capable of, or
it may be that the springs of water are
so widely separated that hard travel is
necessary to make the distance from
one to the other in a day. When either
of these contingencies. arises, they cook
and eat while on the march. They don't
eat much. Two or three dinners such
as American boys and girls are used to
every day, with something extra for
Sundays and company, are supposed
not to agree with Bedouin children's
stomachs. When ON the road, bread is
their chief food. This is baked while
riding. One woman will mix the coarse
flour, which is carried in a sack on the
back Of her camel another will roll and
shape the dough, which is brought to her
in small quantities, and third will
make fire in an earthen vessel and at
tend to the baking. Women or boys on
foot run along from one cook to the
other and carry the material, and when
the. feast is ready they distribute it
among the various members of the
tribe. Chicago Record

CLE-ELUM MINING DISTRICT.
Strike Of Rich Copper Ore Made In
the Copper Queen Property.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
ROSLYN. Aug. l2-The richest strike
yet made In the now famous Cle-Eium
mining district was made last Saturday on
the Last Chance mine, near the end OF the
Copper Queen. about twenty-five miles
from this city.
After driving tunnel Atty feet from the
starting point, ore was struck running
from 20 to 20 per cent. copper. with good
gold values.
The ledge struck was cross-cut short

In sight. but all Indications are that from
I'VE 70 seven feet OF an ore vein will be
found.
This property Is owned by G. w. and

city. and it Is understood that they have
already received bona fide offer Of $4,000
for their property: with D per cent. cash
