THE CHAMPION WING SHOT.
Capt. BOEardus Has Dangerous Ex-
perience But Comes
Out Unhurt.

Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov.
4th.-Capt. A. H. Bogardus, the cham
pion wing shot of the world, has
spent the summer here. His shooting
school has been one of the features
of the Park during the season. He
has given many exhibitions and his
skill with the rifle is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close
call he once had when living at Elk
hart, Ill. He had been a sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and
it rapidly developed into Bright's Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed is to
put it very mildly. This pluclky man
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at last
he was to be conquered by such
cruel foe.
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases,-Dodd's
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says:-'I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills
and to nothing else.''

SUGGESTIONS TO HOUSEWIVES.
A Few Items of Domestic Lore That
May He Worth Pre-
serving.

In cleaning papier mache articles
use a sponge moistened with cold wa
ter. They may be polished with flour
and a flannel cloth, says a household
exchange.
On large scale, but equally simple
in design, are the desks that open at
both sides and thus may be used by
two persons at the same time without
any inconvenience. They are supplied
with a double set of pigeon holes and
do not take up much room.
For the country cottage game Of
euchre or bridge whist an ingenious
manufacturer has devised a round
table of convenient size with low
backed, comfortable chairs that slip
in under the table when not in use and
thus economize space, an important
item in the country home of limited di-
mensions.
Even with set tubs, two wooden ones
of handy size help out amazingly. One
would better be kept especially for
table linen and for rinsing the finest
white things. Use the other for soak
ing, but do not soak too long. Au hour
is long enough to soften and dissolve
the dirt, yet not long enough to set
it all through the garment.
To wash scarlet flannel mix hand
full of -four in quart of cold water
and boil ten minutes. To this add some
warm suds made with CASTLE soap and
then wash the flannel gently, rinsing
rather than rubbing it. Now rinse in
two or three waters. of the same tenn
perature-just comfortably warm to
the hands, not hotter-and hang out to
dry in the shade. By this method the
color should remain unchanged in the
flannel after many washings.
A satisfactory combinatio of fruit
and savory salad is made with pine
apple, celery and bit of sweet red
pepper. A small ripe pineapple is
peeled and shredded and cup of fine
ly chopped celery and diced red pep
per mixed with it. Marinate this with
little French dressing, and set on
ice for Is minutes; then toss through
it with a silver fork little mayon-
naise first, and afterward half cup
of stiffly whipped cream. Arrange on
lettuce hearts.

FIELD MUSHROOMS.
They Much Excel the Cultivated
Variety for Delicacy Of Flavor
How to Cook Them.

A dellcacy not so well known as It
should be is the field mushroom that
is now in the market to the Joy of
the true epicures who know how diff
ferent in flavor is the wild variety
from the cultivated or hothouse
mushroom which is all that is to be
had for nine months of the year.
But the season comes and goes in
many homes without the appearance
of this nutritious and palatable veg
etable. The hothouse variey which is
sold by the pound is always very
high priced, but the wild mushroom
is to be had by the quart and is with
in the reach of the moderate purse.
But it seems to suffer more than
the forced mushroom from the preju-
dice that exists against the vegeta
BILE, owing to the cases of poisoning
that now and then occur and are tel
egraphed about the country, says the
New York Sun.
The Italian Of all Europeans appre-
ciates the mushroom and the Italian
methods of preparing it are perhaps
rious elaborate recipes are given in
the many "mushoom'' Volumes that
are devoted to the edible so long
omitted in the old-fashioned cook
books. The Italian way of frying
mushrooms is to peel them and break
the stalks off evenly. Then pepper,
salt and butter each one. Melt some
butter in the pan, put the mush-
rooms in it, then fry for ten minutes
and serve on buttered toast.
To grill them in Italian fashion take
the heads from some medium-sized
specimens, clean, wash and dry them.
Make stuffing of the mushroom
stalks, some parsley, garlic or onion
and put a small portion of this on
each head. Salt, pepper and season
them with olive oil and place them
on a gridiron and cook slowly for IS
minutes.
Wild mushrooms cooked in a chat
ing dish are delicious. Make first a
mixture of olive oil, teaspoonful of
paprika, pinch of black pepper and
one of salt. In this place the mush-
rooms the stem trimmed short being
uppermost. Cover the dish and brown
them for ten minutes. Then place
sliced hot bread in the hot pan, add
ing half an ounce of butter. Serve
the mushrooms on the bread when 1T

STARVING TO DEATH.
Frightful Conditions in the Famine
Districts of Russia.
Peasants Have Neither Fodder for
Their Cows and Horses Nor
Bread for Their Children
Death Is q Blessing,

Forty million people in Russia are
facing famine the horrors of which
can scarcely be conceived by those
who are not familiar with the life
of the common people of the czar's
empire. The golodovska-the little
hunger-of many provinces has be-
come merged in a golod-a great
hunger-embracing a region of 5O0,-
600 square miles. In all that part of
Russia from the Volga to and beyond
the Urals and in the north and west
death from starvation has come upon
the farm and village people.
In the present case even the pota-
toes have been burned up by the ter
rible heat which prevailed during six
weeks or more of this summer. The
chief crops of the nation are wheat
and rye. This year the heat and
drought prevented the maturing of
the grain and caused it to wither and
be destroyed or to be small in size,
nutrition and yield. AS result, Rus
sia is facing the most terrible win
ter i'll its history and the govern
ward feeding the people. How in
sufficient these steps will be can only
be judged by history of past fam
ines.
Last year the farmers had a little
store of seed corn, but this year
they have absolutely nothing. The
reports frequently conclude with the
words: 1.-THE famine committees
must use every effort to obtain the
necessary corn and -four, as well as
fodder for the domestic animals"
What these few lines imply can be
gathered from book by DR.. c. Leh-
man and "Parvus," published at
Stuttgart by Dietz. The former is
Munich physician. "Parvus" is a Rus
sian who has been studying political
economy at Swiss universities.

SULTAN Is FRIGHTENED.
Hastens to Yield to Demands of
France When He Hears of
Coming of Fleet.

Paris, Nov. 4.-The dispatch of Ad-
miral Caillard's squadron from Toulon
to Turkish waters has already had it's
effect. The French foreign office Sat-
urday morning received a telegram
from NJ. Bapst, councillor of the
French legation at Constantinople,
announcing that the sultan Friday
sent him message accepting all the
French claims, including the Lorando
claim.
The porte also telegraphed to the
French minister of foreign affairs, M.
Delcasse, informing him that the
Lorando claim had been settled and
that the sultan had signed an trade
accepting the figure fixed by France
for the payment of the claim. M. Del
casse proceeded to the Elysee palace
and to the ministry of the interior,
and consulted with President Loubet,
the premier, M. Waldeck-Rousseau,
and the minister of marine, NJ. De
Lanessan. He afterward had another
conference with NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau.
IL is understood the French govern
ment also will demand an understand
ing that Turkey will not renew the
recent interference with the diplo-
matte mail bags.
London, Nov. A dispatch to a
news agency from Rome says that
the second division of the Italian
Mediterranean squadron has started
for Turkey, with the object, it is said,
OF counterbalancing the French naval
demonstration.
