or In doing farm chores. require
hearty, tasteful food, and not toast and
tea. A dish piled with smoking hot
potato farci will exactly fill the bill.
Wash large potatoes and cut them
In halves the long way; scoop out the
centers, leaving just enough OF the po-
tato to form wall; fill with a mince
Of any kind, brush over with beaten
eggs and bake till the potato is done.
This mince may consist of cold minced
fish mixed with crumbs and moistened
with white sauce, or OF mixture or
mashed potato, caulifiower and grated
cheese, or mashed potatoes mixed with
minced veal, ham or fowl-in short, al
most any tiny remnant OF fish, flesh
or fowl may be worked up into a mince
with crumbs or mashed potatoes and
moistened with cream, gravy or white
or brown sauce.
Freshened salt cod, or very little
crisp, fried bacon or salt pork, finely
minced, is particularly appetizing.
A great dish of smothered potatoes
with hot toast and coca, followed by
hot gingerbread, is an ideal country
supper. Peel some white potatoes and
slice in baking dish until nearly full,
seasoning each layer with bits Of but
ter, salt, pepper, and just shake of
the flour dredger; cover with rich milk
and bake with an inverted dish on top
for half an hour; uncover and brown.
Carrots, Flemish style, is good ac-
compartment of cold slice beef la
mode, or baked, or of a hot beef hash.
Cook the carrots with the skins on till
tender, adding pinch of carbonate of
soda to heighten the color; pare, cut
in dice, and for each pint OF dice, add
a tablespoonful Of butter, a teaspoon
full of lemon juice, and as much minced
parsley and chives; season, toss over
the fire till very hot, and pour over
little sippets of toasted bread.

an instant he had shifted position, and,
clinging to the bulls side and Shout
ders with his claws, was biting saw
agely into the back of his neck. The
bull beloved and shook himself, but
could not shake the jaguar off, and at
last ran, circling, back to the herd.
Just before he got among the other
cattle the jaguar leaped to the ground
and crept back to the heifer, where he
stopped again, facing the herd. The
young bull had got more than enough
of fighting, and he took up his posi-
ton among the non-combatants in the
rear of the herd, but new champion
appeared in the form of polled angus
bull, big one, as black as midnight.
He ran straight for the jaguar, with
perfect confidence; then, as he lowered
his hornless head to butt. the jaguar
followed the same tactics as before,
rose above it with an easy leap, landed
on the bulls shoulders, and in second
more was biting at his neck. The
polled angus thrashed around and
made q longer struggle than the 2
year-old had, but the jaguar hung on
and the big bull at last ran back to the
herd while the jaguar dropped off and
went back to the heifer as before.
He scarcely had taken his position
behind the carcass when he was called
once more to defend It, and this time |
saw that IL meant serious business for
him. The newcomer was an old Texas
huII ~ tho wild catt1a varietv with
long horns pointing forward; he had
arrived late, but was full of fight. AS
he came on the jaguar, who perhaps
was tired OF fighting, did not attempt
to spring upon him. but at the last mo-
ment jumped away. The bull followed
him up, darting at him with his horns
and showing an agility astonishing in
so heavy an animal. For minute or
so the jaguar lodged his rushes, thsn

Why England Ignores Bolivia.

The minister OF the United States at
La Paz has for many years represented
the interests Of the British government
in Bolivia, whereby hangs a curious
tale. During the reign of one Of the
several dictators who have ruled over
that unhappy country since It's separa-
tion from Spain the British minister
and his family were invited to dine at
the palace, where they were received
by woman for whom the British min
listers wife had dislike. The British
envoy retired from the palace with his
wife and daughters as soon as he rec
ognized his hostess and their places at
the table were vacant. The other
guests were not so fastidious. They
remained throughout the entertain
ment and afterward enjoyed a dance.
The next morning the minister called
upon the president and demanded an
apology for inviting his wife and
daughter to meet such a woman, which
the president refused TO give, and
when the woman learned the object OF
his visit she furnished a practical IL
lustration of the old adage that hell
hath no fury like a woman scorned."
At her instance the president sent the
minister his passports and ordered him
to leave the capital at once, sending
a lieutenant and a file of soldiers to
escort him to the frontier. AS he was
passing out of the city he expressed
his indignation in such emphatic terms
that the lieutenant took him out OF
the stage and made him mount don
key with his face to its tail. In that
way the envoy extraordinary OF her
British majesty left the capital of Bo-
livia, jeered and hooted by mob OF
natives. AS Bolivia was too small
country for England TO punish Lord
Salisbury allowed the insult to pass
without retribution, but no minister or
consul has ever been sent to Bolivia
since, and it is not probable that one
ever will be.
Some years later, when President
Arco visited London to negotiate
loan to pay for some internal improve
ments, he called at the foreign Office
with the hope of being able to restore
relations, but the minister of state for
foreign affairs told him politely that
her majesty's government was not
aware of the existence of such coun-
try as Bolivia and pointed to map
upon which 1t had been entirely
effaeed.

turned and broke on the jump for the
wooded bank of the Alamosa creek, q
mile away. The bull chased him q
short distance. stopped to below and
gaze after him, then turned back TO the
herd and promptly tried to start a
fight with the polled angus and with
the young bull, but neither wanted
anything to do with him. Once safe
away from the bull, the jaguar slowed
his pace and trotted along toward the
timber, making good time with his
long, smooth, cat-footed stride. He
had got half way there when out from
the creek bottom, directly in front OF
him, five cowboys rode up over the
bank upon the plain. At once they
spread out and rode to head him Off
from the timber. The jaguar made a
few bounds in the effort to get past
them, then as they surrounded him,
stopped and stood on his defense.
There was not a firearm in the party,
and it was not easy for them to force
their horses near enough the jaguar to
use their lassos. At last one Of them,
a Mexican named Juan Ribera, letting
the loop of his lasso lie on the ground,
caught the jaguar's forelegs in the
moose, and setting spurs to his horse
rolled the beast upon his back and
dragged him. Other lassos quickly
caught the jaguar's neck and one hind
leg, and then, with the three ropes
pulling taut, the animal lay helpless.
The question was debated of trying to
preserve him alive, but was settled by
one of the cowboys killing him with a
knife. / measured the jaguar and he
was just eight feet long. When l rode
away the cowboys were skinning him.

The Use of Skin Food.

A good skin food is indispensable in
face massage in all cases, except
where there is excessive oiliness, says
an exchange. Only a tiny pit should
be used upon the finger tips, which
should be well rubbed in until entirely
absorbed by the pores. They have
their digestive limit, as well as the
stomach, aid refuse more than they
can assimil ate at one time. A good
skin food consists Of the purest, most
nutritious ingredients, containing
nothing that will clog or irritate the
skin. Beware of cheap skin foods for
sale at a low price in the general
stores. They are frequently composed
Of vaseline, glycerine or animal fats,
which prove often highly detrimental.
A pure, vegetable skin food will never

ward is certain. Massage Is tonic,
and therefore, benefit is not to be ex-
pected from a single dose. Desultory
and spssmodic attempts at self-treat-
ment, followed by periods of inatten-
ton or forgetfulness, will result in
nothing but disappointment.
Facial massage must be always pre-
coded by a hot, soapy face bath and
rinse in cold water to remove all pos
sible Irritating dust from the pores, as
well as to soften and prepare the skin
for this refreshing manipulation.
During facial massage, il the process

Horse slid 81 Feet.

A horse attached to a delivery wag-
on ran away the other morning, going
up State street to Main and there turn
ing to the west. On the turn the
horse slipped and fell to the pavement.
The bricks were never more slippery
than under present weather conditions,
and the horse took what is probably
the most remarkable slide in the his
tory of paved streets in North Adams.
1t went clear across the street, and
reached the sidewalk with sufficient
momentum to carry it up the drive
way by Lally's office, so that when the
animal finally stopped moving its head
was in the doorway of the Office. The
horse was not so much injured as
would be expected from its slide for
home" resembling Kelly's famous

SHAKERS ARE NEARLY EXTINCT
Followers OF Mother Ann Lee Are Be-
ing DepIeted In Number.

Followers of Mother Ann Lee Arc De
ing Depleted in Number.
The birthplace Of the Shaker relig-
ion in New England is Harvard, pic
turesque little Massachusetts town
about forty miles west OF Boston. It
was here that Mother Ann Lee, an
English woman, came in the summer
of 1871 with little band Of devoted
followers to expound the doctrines OF
her faith. Today there are two settle
ments OF Shakers in the neighboring
towns OF Harvard and Shirley. Dur
ing the last fifty years interest in the
Shakers has gradually died out, and
the membership all over New England
has grown smaller and smaller. AS
there are never any births in Shaker
family, the only hope Of growth lies in
taking in new membership from the
outside. OF course, the logical result
OF such a theory is that deaths will de-
plete the ranks, and so today the COM
munities at Harvard and Shirley are
not as large and prosperous as they
were once. A large proportion OF the
two families are old men and women,
and there are few young members
to take their places in the years to
come.

Extensive Cunning.

A single big gun of the many now
being put in place for the protection
OF the seacoasts costs a large sum.
Some interesting figures on this sub
ject have just been submitted to Gen.
Wilson, and will be by him transmitted
to congress. A 12-inch breech-loading
rifle, with it's disappearing carriage,
costs Sal 900; a 10-inch, S99,250, and
an S-inch $4,000. The figures show
that modern high-powered guns cost
immense sums of money, and the cost
Of firing them is proportionately as
great. The report Of experts who have
inspected these guns and the devices
for securing an accurate aim show that
there is an immense saving effected by
possessing modern-range and position
finding devices. 1.-The demoralizing
effect of hit as compared to miss"
said one of these reports, cannot be
reduced to a money value, but it costs
big money to shoot big gun and then
miss the mark. Take, for instance,
the 12-inch gun. To miss the mark is
simply to throw away s561.70. With
the 1o-inch gun the loss is s322.40. and
with he S-inch rifle it is s104.65."-

Agriculture In Alaska.

That all Alaska has not the rigor OF
the Klondike is shown by the results
of Prof. G. G. Georgeson's work last
summer at Sitka and Cooks Inlet,
where the Department of Agriculture
has established experiment stations.
Last year Mr. Georgeson made some
very interesting and surprising discov-
cries in agricultural possibilities In
Alaska, and this years work has con-
firmed his statement that profitable
farming in Alaska is by no means
myth. He has brought to Washington
some of the finest barley, oats and
rye ever seen here, some excellent
spring wheat and some splendid gar
den specimens-parsnips, carrots, tur-
nips, onions and potatoes. One tur-
nip weighed, when pulled, ten pounds,
and single hill of potatoes, nine
pounds, one of the tubers weighing
two pounds. In fact, Mr.. Georgeson
says you can grow any and all of the
hardy vegetables to rank perfection
in Alaska. "Of course" he said,
Alaska will never be a great agricul-
tural country; it will never compete
with any other country in this line,
but we have shown it to be possible to
grow anything wanted to supply the
necessities and even the luxurios Of
life. 1t is not practicable to farm,
probably, on a very large scale, as
clearing the spruce stumps out OF the
land is difficult and laborious task
but the land is very rich, in fact, it
Is about three feet Of solid peat,
which, when drained, yields enor-
mously, and a great deal can be raised
on a small area. The people them
selves have been astonished at the
things, especially the magnificent
grains we have raised, never having
supposed it possible. The season is
not a short one, as is generally sup
posed. The Japan current equalizes
the temperature of the entire coast
very greatly. The highest point
was 81 degrees and the lowest record
during the past fifty years is 4 degrees
below zero. Killing frost did not come
this year until Oct. 10; before that
time all our grain crops had fully ma
tured. OF course, as / say, Alaska can
never be an agricultural country, but
the experiments we have made mean
that IL Tining camps IA be supplied
with fresh vegetables and fresh meat
II is a fine stock country. Grass grows
splendidly and clover better than in
most places in the United States, and
cattle do well. sheep thrive and hogs
grow fat. Flax, think, may become
an important crop of the country. We
have grown some OF a very fine quail
fly, which, understand, compares ia
vorably with the best Irish fax 1t is
not probable that the Alaska Indians,
however, can ever be made into farm
ers. They are too lazy. They are
fond of vegetables, but have never at
tempted to raise anything with the ex-
ception of few turnips. They sub
sist through the winter principally on
dried fish. Our operations next year
will be quite extensive, as much time
was consumed this year in breaking
ground and draining and putting up
buildings"

For the Sick Room.

An ingenious and easily managed ar
rangement by which a sick-room may
be cooled in sultry weather is an
adaptation of the wet-sheet system, by
which is avoided the periodical wiring
ing out OF this large stretch OF cloth.
The sheet is hung at the window
through which the air comes. small
pitcher OF water being placed on con-
venient ledge or improvised shelf at
the top. This is kept full OF water, and
from it, going down to the floor close
to the sheet, is a wick or large cotton
cord, or a narrow strip of the sheeting
anything to serve as a syphon for the
water. In this way the sheet is easily
kept moist.

In our English service the system
adopted for replenishng the ammuni-
ton of the troops engaged has con-
oistvd In rvlc,tIus a. certain utiIIi,cr
of men to carry cartridges from the
rear up to the firing line, it having
been apparently supposed that it would
be possible for these men to move
along the line and to distribute am
munition to those whose pouches We're
empty. We very soon learned that
such a system could not he of any use
under modern conditions. The men
carrying up the ammunition would in
evltably be shot before reaching the
front, and the men in the firing line
would be left with empty pouches. So
we must find some other method of
solving this important problem, which
has also to be considered in connection
with the action of artillery.
In certain foreign armies the serv-
ices of specially trained dogs have
been requisitioned to get over the diff
Guilty. These dogs are fitted with
sort of saddle which will carry a guam
tity of rifle ammunition, and are
trained to race to the front, and, ar
rived there, to permit the soldiers to
relieve them of their burden. l think
it quite possible that it may be found
possible to keep infantry supplied in
this manner, but some other means
will have to be found for replenishing
t1,.> Of nntt1 tr,
very probable that we shall see dogs
utilized in many other ways in the
fighting of the future. For instance,
they would be very useful on outpost
duty to give warning OF an encmy's
approach, and if dogs were attached
to our field hospitals they would be of
the greatest assistance in searching
for the wounded after an action.-Na-
tional Review.
