consumed the ration with great relish. 1t

charmingly, and molasses it is now said
forms part of the rations for all the

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

The delicacy of pastry depends as much
upon the baking as the making, therefore
strict attention should be paid to the fol-
lowing directions:
Puff paste requires a quick oven heat:
a hot oven would curl the paste and
scerch it.
Tart paste or short paste requires de-
gree less Of heat. For raised Or light
crust the oven may be heated as for puff
paste.
To color soup red, skin six red tomatoes,

PROSPEROUS FARMERS.

The jamestown Alert says: Farm
ers in North Dakota are raising produce
on cheap land, on acres worth from So
to SIS, and getting as good prices as
Eastern farmers whose investment
means at the rate of $50 to SIS an acre.
1t is not surprising that such an ad-
vantage means much to the North Da-
kota farmers. The Eastern tenant is
the man who, paying a cash rent, suffers.
North Dakota farmers with their adj
vantages of markets, railroads, ease of
cultivation and cheap land ought to be
much more prosperous than any other
farmers in the United States.

TO DECORATE FERN Pors.

I have beautiful large pot Of ferns
and just the place for it in my window
almost coveted a pretty gflt-china or a
silver fern dish for them, but could not
afford It,
Today / had a happy thought and this
is the result: I cut out strip of white
celluloid, slightly circular and sioping on
all the edges, something on the order OF
wide turnover collar 1t was just long
enough to turn in neatly around
the rim of the pot next the soil, and the
shaping of the strip f1ared the wider, deep
scalloped outer edge out over the sides
Of the pot, like a wide turn-down collar

APPLYING LIME AS A FERr1LrzEs.

'T have 100 barrels of lime which I

If air-slaked, apply it broadcast any
time during the winter at the rate of
about forty bushels per acre. If not
slaked, pile 1t in heaps ON the ground and
let it air-slakc before applying it. I
would not mix ii with barnyard manure

NUTRIENTS LOSS IN CANNING.


When the tomato Is to be used for food
care should be taken to retain all of the
juice, as the nutrients are present large
ly in soluble form, and any diminu-
ton of the amount of juice entails cor
responding loss of nutrients.
In the canning of toma toes it is some
times customary to allow the juice to
drain from the solids, with the objsct
OF securing q more concentrated product.
In order to determine the losses by this
method Of preservation two cans were
prepared, one with and one without the
juice. The amounts of material taken
and the weights of the products secured
are given IN the following table:

Grams Grams

Juice. Juice.

Refuse excluded. $50. ;....... 302 GAG
Weight of canned product. 70S 564
Loss of water, ETC., by

When Sef grams (eleven ouncesJ OF
Juice, from three pounds of tomatoes,
were excluded from can No. 2, the losses,
as determined by analysis, compared with
can No. 1, were 1l.74 grams OF sugar.
The total amount in the three pounds of
tomatoes WAS ISL grams. An unneces-
sary loss of 22 pet cent of the total sugar
of the tomato resulted from the exclu-
sion Of the juices
When the juice was retained and the
product concentrated by evaporation. as
IN can No. l, the material finally yielded
9.62 per cent solids and 5.5 per cent sugar.
As prepared for the table a pound of
canned tomatoes like No. 1 would con-

ents combined ca little over y ouncel

Desmonlius, the dead boys mother,
went to her niece's room, and was hor-

robes, with an engagement ring on her
finger, seated in a chair with her eyes
fixed staringly on the clock. A five
minutes past II violent gust of wind
burst the window open and the lamp
was put out. The aunt cried for help.
When neighbors finally came with

mttee will take it in hand for revision,
there is little doubt but that it will be
legislated into law with Us slight
procrastination as possible.
After some further discussion the
senate on the 9th rejected the sectarian
school amendment to the Indian appro-
priation bill offered by Mr.. Jones
Dem. Ark by a vote of 80 to 1G. As
has been the practice for two or three
years, the free homes measure was of
fered as an amendment to the bill, but
it was ruled out on the point of order
that it was general legislation and
therefore not germane to an appropria-
ton bill. Without division the bill

CHAPTER XI.

Resting his two arms against the
trunk of great tree, he laid his face
upon them. shutting out the beautiful
garden-scene, in which the maiden was
not, and there he rested long in ex-
ceeding bitterness of spirit. Suddenly
there was sound of wings, and again
the bird which he could recognize by
its broken and injured plumage flew
down, and lowering above him a mo-
ment, as If in doubt, came and nestled
on his shoulder.
Adina took it softly in his hands,
and turned his sad eyes silently toward
the house where he lived alone Even
yet he had not the courage to go to
Jephthah, but put it off until the NOR
row. AS he walked along, ever smooth
ing the birds feathers with caressing
touches, he suddenly became aware of
something smooth and hard fastened
beneath its wing. Instantly the thought
occurred to him that it might be a mes
sage from Namarah; but how, indeed,
could it be so? Breathless with eager
ness, he reached his chamber and
there found lights.
Carefully shutting himself in, and
even drawing the curtains of the win
dows close, he severed the cord that
held in place the little folded note, and
opening the sheet, read:
"Adina, My Beloved: can give thee
no greeting as l pass thy window. but

breast the dove which Is to bear this

TERRIBLE TORTURES
Inflicted by Indians During n Seven-day
Medicine Dance.


Tacoma (Wash.) Cor Chicago Inter
Ocean: The Yakima Indians have
closed a seven-day medicine dance
near Toppenish. A peculiar feature OF
this dance, and one that the neighbor-
ing white people supposed existed only
in the minds of the dime-novel writ
ers, is self-infiicted torture of the par
Elephants. 1t has a deep religious sig
nificance for them. OF course, not all
of the Yakima Indians take part in
these barbarous practices. Many of
them are we'll educated men and wom-
en- and live much as their white neigh
bors do. The Indians who tortured
themselves this week included several
young bucks who have been away to
school. Returning home they relapsed
into savagery and discarded white
mems dress for blankets and feathers.
All of the dancers inflicted numerous
wounds upon themselves with knives,
stones and sharpened sticks. Cutting
holes in their flesh, they inserted
thongs of leather through them and
pulled at these thongs until the flesh
gave way. Some of them stopped only
when physically exhausted. A buck
about 80 years old held out the longest

icine man for the next three years.
