KlondIke Dong b nuts.

Next to bread a Klondike cook strives
to achieve distinction by his dough-
nuts. This may appear frivolous at
first glance and at second, considering
the materials with which he works, an
impossible feat. But doughnuts are
all important to the man who goes on
trail for Journey Of any length. Bread
freezes easily, and there is less grease
and sugar and hence less heat In It
than In doughnuts. The latter do not
solidify except at extremely low tenn
peratures, and they are very handy to
carry In the pockets Of a Mackinaw
Jacket and MUNICH as one travels along.
They are made much after the manner
of their brethren In warmer climes,
with the exception that they are cook
ed In bacon grease. The more grease
the better they are. Sugar is the
cooks chief stumbling block. II It Is
very scarce, why, add more grease.
The men never mind on trail. In the
cabin-well, that's another matter. Be
sides, bread is good enough for them

The Dog Laughed.

The proprietor of a Third avenue
store owns little black kitten that cul-
tiyates habit Of squatting on Its
launches, like a bear or kangaroo,
and then sparring with its forepaws as
If 1t had taken lessons from a pugilist.
A gentleman took into the store the
other evening an enormous black dog,
half Newfoundland, half collie, fat,
good-natured, and intelligent. The tiny
black kitten, instead of bolting at once
for shelter, retreated few PAGES, sal
erect on its hind legs, and put Its
fists in an attitude of defiance. The
contrast In size between the two was
intensely amusing. 1t reminded one OF
Jack the Giant Killer preparing to de.
molish giant.
Slowly and without a sign of excita.
bility the huge dog walked as far as his
chain would allow him, and gazed in.
tently at the kitten and its odd posture
Then, as the comicality of the situation
struck him, he turned his head and
shoulders around to the spectators, and
IL animal ever laughed in the world thai
dog assuredly did SO then and there
He neither barked nor growled, but
indulged in a low ehuckle, while eyes
and mouth beamed with merriment.

Making Cheese.

MAKING CneeSe.
l have made an occasional cheese
throughout the year and enough In the
spring and summer to go a great way
toward paying the grocery bill. says
Louise A. Nash In the American Agri-
culturist Three milkings may be used
In winter and two in summer. Care
must be taken to cool the fresh milk
before adding it to the other. Place
your double boiler on the back of the
stove, the inner one resting on some
thing, and put in the milk. Pour warm
water into the outer boiler and bring
the milk to 81 degrees. For from five
to seven gallons of milk add about half
teaspoonful of the coloring fluid and
half that quantity of rennet previously
mixed with little water. Stir thor
oughly and leave it to coagulate at the
same temperature.
When the curd will break off clean
from the bottom Of your finger, it is
time to cut. A long carving knife or
anything that will reach down to the
bottom of the pan will do. Cut each
way, leaving about an inch between
the cuts. The heat may now be raised
gradually about two degrees every five
minutes to SO. Begin in few minutes
by shaking the boiler to help the flying
off of the whey, but gently, SO that the
fat does not escape. Presently stir
and repeat the stirring every two or
three minutes. In about half an hour
the desired temperature ought to be
reached. The curd will soon be half its
size, and when pressed between the fin
ger and thumb the clots don't stick to-
gether. 1t is now time to take off half
of the whey. Leave it covered an inch

OLD FRlEN DS.

We lave them very dearly, the old famil-
lar places,
The road where every turn we know,
the trees that DER it bend;
The meadow grasses waving, and the lit
tie flower faces,
And the lifted hills, benignant, each one
steadfast friend.
We love the soft and springing sod, oft
as our footsteps press it
The little wayside briars that reach
their clinging fingers out;
The lowly nest half hidden in the dusky
hedge-God bless it!
And all the common things that grid
the common day about.
There's one wide branching maple that
was tall when we were tending
The baby lambs beneath it in the years
of long ago.
There's one great shadowy oak that
stood, its friendly shelter lending
To our parents, when they courted, its
tenting shade below.
The trees, the hills, the. pastures, the
lanes we oft have trodden,
OF us they are a part, our blood has
caught thrill from them.
We may walk to-day in purple. where
once we walked in holden,
But the selrf-same soul is in US; we
are theirs in root and stem.
We love them very dearly, the old ia
miliar places;
In Heaven l think the road will wear
a look like ours at home;
The fields of living green recall the pleas
ant beckoning faces
OF the meadow-lands that hold us fast,
how far soe'er we roam.

VALUE OF FRUIT AS FOOD.

Not Very Nourishing, Though Exert
ing Beneficial EHect.
Recent experiments of the Depart
ment of Agriculture show that fruits
In general contain remarkably little
blood. Bananas and grapes have 2
per cent, while apples, cherries. straw
berries, huckleberries. cranberries, lem
ons and oranges are able to lay claim
to only per cent-this, too, when skins
and seeds are put aside. On this ac-
count such articles of diet are obvious
Iy Ill adapted to sustain human life for
any length of time, though they possess
great medicinal value and contribute
much to health.
Fruits are, however, relatively rich
In sugar and starch, and hence are use
full as fuel to keep the bodily machine
going. Bananas have q per cent. of
these materials, grapes 21 per cent, ap-
pies 16 per cent, cherries and cranber-
ries IL per cent, oranges 8 per cent.
lemons 8 per cent and strawberries Z
per cent. In this case, as before, only
the edible portions are considered.
Blackberries and grapes have 2 per
cent of fat and the other fruits men,
toned contain 1 per cent. Watermel-
on pulp is 90 per cent water, says the
Saturday Evening Post.
Among vegetables lima beans have
the highest food value. containing 80
per cent of nutrients. Sweet potatoes
come next, with % per cent. green peas
next with % per cent, white pota toes
next with p per cent and string beans
next with 13 per cent. Green sweet
corn has 10 per cent Of nutrients, beets
II per cent, turnips II per cent. cab.

Autom atous that Have Excited the
Wonder OF European Travellers.
Some years ago jeweler of Bou-
logne, France, constructed q wonder
full automatic conjurer. This figure,
correctly dressed IN black, performed
various sledght-ofhand tricks with re
parkable dexteritys and when it was
applauded graeefuiis saluted the spec
tators to the right and left. One Of its
tricks was the following: Itsstruck q
table several times, and made an egg
come out of 1t. 1t then blew upon the
latter, when out of it came bird that
tapped its wings and sang, and after
ward entered the egg again.
This, however, was nothing as COM
pared with the automatic fly manufac-
tured by John Miller and which few
around the table during a dinner and
alighted upon the hand of its owner
and manufactures, to the great aston
ishment of the guests.
Another wonderful piece of mechan-
ism was a minute coach, to which were
harnessed several horses, and which
rolled over the table. Upon starting the
coachman cracked his whip and the
horses began to prance, and then be
came quiet and started off on trot.
The coach stopped, and the lackey
jumped from his seat, and, opening
the door, handed out handsomely
dressed lady, who saIuted and then re-
entered the coach. The lackey closed
the door and jumped upon, the box, the
whip snapped and the horses galloped
off.
The famous mechanical flute player
was lifelong figure, standing by the
side of a broken column, upon which II
slightly leaned. 1t was capable OF
playing a dozen different airs with re
markable ease. To effect this result
there was q system Of weights that
actuated a bellows placed in the int.
rior of the automaton, and through an
invisible tube forced air to the flute,
where it acted in the usual way upon
the stopple of the opening. In order
to obtain the modulations, and conse-
quently complete air, the fingers OF
the automaton were movable and
closed the holes of the flute hermetic
ally when at rest. The fingers were
moved by wires and cords that were
tautened and relaxed by the play Of 9
toothed cylinder.-Ci Cincinnati Enquirer

Narrowing Wheat.

Often a rain may come after wheat
has been sown, and on clay land so beat
down the soil that 1t will crust over or
bake when the sun comes out so that
many of the plants cannot get through.
The use of light harrow with fine
sharp teeth will remedy this very
quickly without injury to the plants
that are up, or those that are germin-
ating. Nor does 1t injure wheat to use
such harrow on it In the spring when
the clover seed is sown, unless the roots
have been thrown out by the frost, in
which case roller is needed to press
the plant roots back into the earth.
