WAYS OF THE cARABAo.
A Few sober and Instructive Re-
marks Upon the Native OK OF
the Philippines.

| The carabao is noble animal Of
about 400 tons displacement, and occu-
| pies twelve-thirteenths of the avail
able breathing space Of the island Of
Luzon, writes o. II. Fernbeck, in Over
land Monthly.
He is neat, but not gaudy. and in his
general appearance somewhat resem-
bles that delightful creature, the Prum,
so-called because it is not fish. He
consists principally of a pair of horns
and martyrized expression Of coun-
tenance, and is considered by scien-
lists to be a cross between the mil
lenium and full army rations.
He lives a simple and frugal life, and
spends all of it in making up his mind
to, execute a sudden move. Then he
dies. At this sudden interruption Of
his projects he is generally about SO
years of age.
When not in use as means of fur
thering the interests of ;nterurban
transportation the carabao is kept
submerged In water. This is done In
, order to preserve his unruffled temper.
and also to furnish novel sport I'M
heard of In other parts of the globe.
Carabao fishing is pleasant recrea-
! ton for the natives In the small hours
of the morning.
AS above intimated, the carabao Of
the Philippines is principally used as a
dray horse. and in this capacity pre-
sents many advantages over his equine
cousin. He does not shy at cable cars.
does not interfere. and ever in the his
tory Of the islands has he been known
TO run away. He is gentle and kind in
MI harness, and can De handled with
equal success by children or adults;
he heeds neither.
There Is prescribed and unvaryinQ
method to be folloa4d in driving q
carabao.
After having been hitched to the cart
with due ceremony the carabao will inn
mediately lie down in the street, more
to enable you to perfect yourself In the
proper pronunciation of the many epi-
thets in the Spanish vocabulary than
out OF any spirit of meanness.
AS soon as you have sufficiently aired
your profanity, kick him twice on the
left side, and with club or amy other
available means of persuasion plant a
powerful blow on his head. He will
then get up, unless you have fractured
his skull, in which case it will be neces-
sary for you to-obtain another carabao
and begin all over gain.
AS soon as he is on his feet you must
place your tongue firmly against the
roof of the mouth, stiffen the muscles
OF the throat. and give vent to series
OF sounds such as usually accompany
the payment Of tribute to Neptune
when about "a hours out of port. AS he
hears these the carabao will move slow.
" forward.
Now prod him necessarily with your
club, and keep up uttering the above-
described exhortation, and the chances
are that he will move ahead at least
five yards before stopping again. Re-
peat the same operation as before, and
by dint of patience and perseverance,
You will arrive at your destination.

A lemon pie that is absolutely re-
liable is made in this way: Have
ready the pastry shell. Dissolve one
tablespoonful of cornstarch in lit
tie cold water. Pour over it tea
cupful of boiling water, stirring all
the time until clear and free from
Jumps. Add one tablespoonful of but
ter and small cupful OF sugar and
cook few moments longer. Set on
back of range and add the beaten
yolks of two eggs, and the juice and
grated yellow rind of one lemon. Stir
until well blended and pour in crust.
Set in the oven few moments with
the door left open, while preparing
the meringue made from the whites
of the eggs beaten stiff and two scant
tablespoonfuls sugar. Spread evenly
over the pie and set on the CRATE of
the oven TO rise slowly and brown,
says the Washington Star.
A Colorado housewife, possessed Of
a knack of cooking and large fam
lily Of small boys with famous ap-
petites, has improvised new meat
pie, which the family call delicious.
When the big tin pan is filed with
the meat, cut in squares, with it's ac-
companying rich gravy, layer of
chopped watercress is added just be-
fore putting on the top crust. The
pie is then baked until rich brown,
the cress adding greatly to its savory
qualities.
In making meringue it must al
ways be borne in mind that the
slower it is cooked or really dried the
better. The reason SO many house
keepers fail in making a thick, ten
der meringre is because they make
q mistake In the temperature Of the
oven. IL the oven is too hot leave
the door open. For all meringue al
low 8 tablespoonful of powdered sugar
to each egg. :
Summer draperies were never dain-
tier or prettier. Many of the mus
lin curtains with vertical cross stripes
of flowers in delicate colors may be
matched In wall papers and chintzes
for furniture. A new summer fab
ric in soft coloring is linen taffeta.
And again: Place the butter in an
earthen crock: set in pan Of wa
ter and cover pan and crock with q
heavy, cloth wrung out of water. BY
seeing that the cloth is kept wet the
butter can be kept firm and sweet
for days.
Plain boiled rice. served hot, with.
strained honey. makes an appreciated
addition to the lunch table--or is ex-
.cellent for simple home dessert.

lemon will be found desirable addi-
ton.

A Keen sense Of smcll.

Tommy had formed the habit of 70.
ing to Miss Wheatcake's house several
times day. and. strangely enough,
most of these visits occurred Just at
meal times. One morning he arrived
before Miss Wheatcake's breakfast was
SERVED. He feared that he was too late
for the meal, but. being too polite to
inquire. merely looked about with
anxious stealth for some sigps of
preparation. Miss Wheatcake saw his
perturbation, but said nothing to re-
lieve it. Presently Tommy remarked;
"Ain't it funny, Miss Wheatcake, I'm
awfully hungry" Miss Wheatcake
made no comment and he wiggled
about uneasily In his chair for few
moments. then with timidly ingra-
tiating look he said: Seems to me l
smell eggs boiling. Do I2"-Judge.

THE HOME DOCTOR.
simple Remedies for slight Ailments
Peculiar to Old and
Young.

Warm applications for the spine
and stomach and between the shout.
ders are valuable. and aid digestion.
Chloroform rubbed on a mosquito
bite will cause the pain and itching
to disappear like magic. while the
swelling will rapidly decrease.
When baby's skin is chafed. put a
pinch of boracic powder into lit
tie warm water and sponge the chafed
skin after her bath; dry gently, apply
little cold cream and dust with baby
powder.
When one goes home at night after
fatiguing day, nothing is more rest
full than bathing the head and back
of the neck with towel wrung out
of water as hot as can be borne. 1t
soothes the nerves and rests the body
and brain. The same treatment re.
lieves a nervous headache as nothing
else does. When one is overheated
and there is rush of blood to the
head, q hot towel applied to the face
and head is great relief.
Various sanitariums and private
hospitals are using the ''salt rub" and
1t is becoming so popular that some
Turkish bath establishments are adj
vertising it as a special attraction.
1t is just as good for well people as
for sick ones, is the most refreshing
of all the baths and rubs ever in
vented, only excepting a dip in the
sea itself, IL very strengthening and
can be taken at home easily.
Put few pounds of coarse salt
the coarsest you can get. sea salt. by
preference-in an earthen Jar, and
pour enough water on it to produce
a sort of slush, but not enough to
dissolve the salt. This should then
be taken up in handouts and rubbed
sbriskly over the entire person.
1t is better to have 1t rubbed on
by another person, but anyone In or
binary health can do 1t for herself or
himself very satisfactorily. This be-
ing done, the next thing is q thorough
douching of clear water, preferably
cold, and brisk rubbing with asdry
towel. The effect of elation, fresh
ness and renewed life is felt imme-
diateYy, and the satiny texture Of the
skin and increased clearness and
brightness of the complexion, swell
the testimony in favor of the salt rub.
For young. children it is best to
drain off the salt, and add two table
spoonfuls of pure bay rum to basin
full of this salt water. ApIAy with a
soft flannel. and dry with a soft Turk
ish towel. Care should be taken that
there is not too much salt in the wa.
ter. as il may irritate The tepdes
skins of some children.

/ London, May lO.-The Annual Grand
| Habitation of the Primrose League was
held in Albert hall yesterday after
noon. The Marquis of Salisbury. grand

tiOn. Lord Salisbury in the course OF
his address commented on the diff
Guilty in South Africa and, referring z
to Ireland. said that the accumulation
of arms in time Of peace and the pO-
tential power Of resistance in 4 discon-
tented province was too clearly illus
trated in the case OF the TranSvaal and
the Free State to be ignored in the
case Of Ireland.
His references TO the possibility of a
coalition Of the powers against Eng
land were little short of sensational
He warned his hearers that in this
eventuaIity the empire could trust no
professions of friendship abroad. but
must be prepared to stand or fall by
her own might. and he urged the forma-
ton of rife clubs among all classes
and the training Of every youth for
the possible defense of the country
against foreign invasion.
The difficult and intricate Irish
problem was referred TO as follows:

boys they are too" he barred his head
