With black ink selling at 3 cents or
so bottle it seems hardly worth while
for one to use homemade ink, but the
trouble is that all black ink is not
black by any means. The following
recipe, however, which. by the way, is
some 200 years old, tells you how to
make a black ink that will not fade
and which is,dead black in hue. Here
is the recipe:
One quart of rainwater filtered
through a close woven cloth, three
ounces Of bruised gals, one and one
half ounces of sulphate Of iron green
copperas) and two and one-half ounces
Of gum arabic. Coarsely powder the
gals and put into a bottle with the
other chemicals; stir them up and add
the water Securely close the bottle
and place in the sunlight. letting the
bottle stand until the gum arabic and
copperas have dissolved, occasionally
stirring the contents to bring this
about. Shake the bottle each day for
a month or six weeks, then add some
20 drops of carbolic acid to prevent
mold. and your ink is ready for use.

For the Canoeist.

One Of the latest additions TO the out
fit of the canoeist and small boat sailor
is a small revolving log which is des-
tined to knock out many cherished de-
lusions as to the speed Of ones boat.
The affair consists of an indicator built
on the cyclometer idea. which indicates
knots or miles, as may he desired, up
10 80 by fraction OF tenths and hun
dredths Attached TO this is 80 feet of
braided line. on the end of which is a
four bladed propeller which revolves
like a trolling spoon. This is thrown
overheard and the Indicator fastened
by n cord to the stern of the boat, and
on the propeller revolving the indicator
commences to work The log can be
used to indicate the distance travelled
on a days run upon the same prin-
ciple as a cyclometer attached TO a
wheel, or by timing the number Of hun
dredths OF knot made during II given
number OF seconds the speed Of the
boat may be indicated.

Limited Round Bouts.

An old time ring follower has this
to say about limited bouts:
"The champion who agrees or UNI
dertakes TO stop a man i'm few rounds
has necessarily to be the aggressor
from start to finish. In long distance
fight, he can do as Jeffries does in such
contests-let his man force the pace
and depend on countering to knock
him out. But in the short distance
fights the champion must make it as
hot as tabasco from the first tap OF
the bell, for If he doesn't knock his
man out or best him most decisively
he loses his fistic reputation. and with
its loss comes a corresponding decrease
in his attractive qualities rs a money
Garner. Every one who has seen the
McGovern short distance fights knows
that he is the fistic superior of the men
he has met. and yet in two instances
he has been unable to put his antag-
onist out If he was not so strong and
If he had not demonstrated his ability
TO conquer these men in long distance
fights or in fights to a finish. be would
be considerably lessened in attractive
ness"

At recent meeting of the executive
committee having charge Of the ma
tional League Of American Wheelmen
meet to be held at Milwaukee July 10
10 it was decided to admit all League
of American Wheelmen members to
the morning and afternoon races free
OF charge. H. taking this step the pro-
motors of the Milwaukee meet make a
concession never accorded members
who attended previous national meets,
and the action is expected to meet
with great favor in the ranks Of the
league.
Inasmuch as all the trials and semi
finals Of the most important events
will be decided during the four morn
ings and afternoons of racing. league
members will see such racing as was
never before served in the west with
out the customary payment Of 80 cents
for admission. The promoters Of the
Milwaukee meet are to be- compliment
ed on their extreme lberalty, and it is
to be hoped that many league members
will take advantage of it.

Hnunemaidn' HnRA.

Scrapbaskets. as has been suggest
ed, are necessity In every room; but
II the chambermaid carries them off to
empty and forgets to return them they
may be the cause of great annoyance.
To obviate this have the maid carry to
each room a large bag made of silesia,
the hem at the top being run on to a
metal or wooden hoop. Into this bag
each basket is emptied every morning,
and, as it never leaves the room, II is,
of course, not lacking at the critical
moment; nor is il found full to over
flowing just when a bundle Of papers
needs a home. The bag is emptied
also after It has made its rounds and is
hung up with the brooms and brushes.

saved From the Wolves.

A few years ago one of the boys that
Colonel Cody had under his charge
was Johnny Burke No-Neck. who is
now being educated at college. He was
the only surviving Indian after the
battle Of Wounded Knee Creek on Dec.
%, 1890, and was found, helpless ba-
by, under bush by No-Neck, who was
fighting with the United States sol
diers. The baby was carried to camp
and named after Major John Burke,
who is one of Colonel Codys aids, as
well as the Indian who rescued him.
The poor little papoose was saved none
too soon, as he would have been de-
voured by wolves before the next day
had dawned.

A Curious Puzzle.

The following is a very curious puz-
zle. Try it, all of you:
Open book at random and select a
word within the first ten lines and
within the tenth word from the end OF
the line. Mark the word. Now double
the number of the page and multiply
the sum by five. Then add 20.
Then add the number of the line you
have selected. Then add five. Then
multiply the sum by ten.
Add the number of the word in the
line. From this sum subtract $50, and
the remainder will indicate I'm the units
column the number of the word. in the
tens column the number Of the line and
the remaining figures the number Of
the page.

hulls taken off just before serving time.
When served with the hulls on, straw
berries should be neatly arranged

ter of each plate. When eating take
them by the stems, dip into the sugar
and eat them from the hulls.
Raspberries and blackberries do not,
as a rule, require washing. They must
be handled carefully In looking them

small amount of currant juice and
serve them with powdered sugar.

before eating. Pears and apples may
be served in the same way.
Peaches are more attractive when
served In their own skins. Serve just

all fruits sour.
Grapes are daintler served In fat

foliage.
Watermelons and cantaloupes are al
ways best served simply chilled, not
cold enough to be unpalatable and
tasteless, but with no tinge of warmth.

Ice In Dainty Baskets.

At recent class luncheon the ice
was served in dainty colonial baskets
nodded OF white confectioners' wax
and tied with a small bow of red rib
bon, the class year lettered in gilt on
the ends. The basket was piled lightly
with spun sugar, and on this was heap
ed the ice in the form OF strawberries
Each guest left her card against the
basket, and when she took her leave 1t
was handed to her tied with tissue pa
per. The spun sugar had been remov-
ed, and in its place was slipped little
fluted case filed with candied violets.
In this way the ice service was con-
verted into a set OF pretty souvenir IA

THE SPORTING WORLD.

AS In gowns and hats, the fashions
In dogs change. The merry little cock

some merit TO his claim as "A pet, for he
has no superior as "A house dog and

Though Of Spanish origin, the cocker
spaniel is a loyable and cunning little
dog. Away back in 1877 one Nicolas
Cox, an English authority on dogs,
makes mention Of the spaniel. They
have long been used In England as
hunting dogs. and the breed was con
sidered OF excellent service in falcon
ing.
The wonderful sagacity and affec-
.ionate disposition Of the cocker spaniel

fidelity OF dogs. The dog show has
wrought a great change in the appear
ance of the breed, and the old curly

80 or 40 years ago would be disquaIi-
