Frank McNally and help are kept
busy nowadays from early morning
until late at night shooting horses and
doing other work demanding atten-
ton at this season of the year. Owing
to the ambiguous wording of para
graph in last weeks items in refer
ence to Frank he has been kept busy
answering questions, between the
strokes of his hammer, as to when he
was going away, and if he was going,
and~so forth. The meaning intended
was that he would not occupy the
house he is now living in after GER
tain time, not that he intends to go
away, no, no! moi! He will stay
right here where he has plenty Of
work and where he is needed.

Pacing a Natural Gait.

The pacing habit is common among
animals, says a writer in Scribner's
Magazine. Many animals pace-cattle,
for instance; and, among dogs, settlers.
l believe pacing to be a rather more
natural gait than trotting. Trotting
as it exists in our fast horses. is scarce
ly natural gait. but is rather the re-
suit of breeding and education.

A Night Light.

Some people make it point never to

Work For 1t,

Nothing that is of real worth can be
achieved without courageous working.
Man owes his growth chiefly to that
active striving of the will, that en-
counter with difficulty. which we call
effort; and it is astonishing to find how
often results apparently impracticable
are thus made possible.

From time immemorial the rose ge-
ranium has occupied a prominent place
In popular favor. Our grandmothers
have been known to strew the fra
grant leaves among their lingerie. but
few know OF the culinary value OF this
humble plant. The next time you are
making crab-apple jelly try this re-
ceipt with few glasses: Have the
geranium leaves washed to free them
from any possible parasites. Then,
Just before pouring the hot jelly into
the glasses, throw a small leaf into
the bottom Of each glass. Il may be
allowed to remain until the Jelly Is
used and will not spoil It in any way
The result is an indescribable flavor
which improves the jelly immensely.
Sometimes when baking cake line an
earthen plate with the geranium leaves
and turn the hot cake out upon them,
leaving 1t there until quite cold. The
steam absorbs the fragrance from the
leaves, giving the cake the daintIest
possible flavor, that suggests nothing
SO much as the odor OF La France

HAS A THIRST FOR BLOOD.
Instances OF the Foreclosures of tho
Common Weasel.


Common Weasel.
The weasel is the boldest and most
blood-thirsty of our small mammals;
indeed, none of our larger beasts Is
more so, says John Burroughs. There
is something devilish and uncanny
about it. 1t persists like fate; 1t eludes
but it cannot be eluded. The terror
it inspires in the smaller creatures
rats, rabbits. chipmunks-is pitiful to
behold. A rat pursued by a weasel has
been known to rush into room, utter
dismal cries and seek the protection OF
a man in bed. A woman in northern
Vermont discovered that something
was killing her hens, often ON the nest.
She watched for the culprit and at last
caught weasel in the cat 1t had
seized the hen and refused to let go
when she tried to scare ii away Then
the woman laid hold of it and tried
choking it, when the weasel released
its hold upon the hen and fastened its
teeth into her hand between the thumb
and forefinger, She could not choke it
OFF and ran to a neighbor for help, but
no one could remove it without tearing
the flesh from the woman's hand.
Then some one suggested pail of wa
ter. Into this the hand and weasel
were plunged, but the creature would
not let go even then, and did not until
1t was drowned. A farmer one day
heard queer growing sound on the
grass. On approaching the spot he saw
two weasels contending over a mouse.
Both weasels had the mouse, pulling
in opposite directions. and they were
SO absorbed in the struggle that the
farmer cautiously put his hands down
and grabbed them both by the backs OF
their necks. He put them in a cage
and offered them bread and other
food. This they refused to eat, but in
few days one OF them had eaten the
other up, picking his bones clean and
leaving nothing but the skeleton. The
same farmer was one day in his cellar
when two rats came out of hole near
him in great haste and ran up the
cellar wall and along its top until they
came to a floor timber that stopped
their progress, when they turned at
bay and looked excitedly back along
the course they had come. In a mo-
ment a weasel. evidently in hot pur-
suit OF them, came out of the hole.
but, seeing the farmer, checked his
course and darted back. The rats had
doubtless turned to give him fight and
would probably have been a match for
him.-Chicago Chronicle

Ill HUNG CHANG is ILL
MAY NOT LIVE TO SEE PEACE
IN CHINA.
Though a Physical Wreck His Mind Is
Said to He as Clear as Ever-tiis
Health Has Bssn steadily Waning for
a Near.

7Ahe health of Ii Huns Chang is now
matter of grave consideration for the
ministers of the powers. His health
has been slowly and steadily waning
for year past, and there has been fear
for some months that he would not
survive the negotiations in which he
plays so important part, What the
effect of his death would be upon the
situation at present is difficult mat
ter TO conjecture. as no other man in
China has the influence with the Chi
nese court that he has.
Though he is a physical wreck. the
earl's mind is still as brilliant as ever
and he handles the affairs of the ma:
tion with great skill. The sagacious
old man has played his cards with
almost wizard-like skill. Who would
be able to take up his work where he
lays it down no one can tell, but it is
a strong feeling that Minister WI,
now at Washington, might succeed
him.
Between Ii Hung Chang and Mr..
WI there has been a lifelong friend
ship, and the younger man has in
many ways been an apt pupil of the
elder. 1t is not improbable that his ell
ovation to the commission would be
received as a clear advantage to the
prospect of peace. 1t might, however,
be opposed by Germany. because of
the fact that WI is less oriental In his
habit of mind than Ii Hung Chang.
and has been more or less the product
OF English teaching. 1t will be remem-
bered that WI was educated in Hong
Kong, became barrister before the
English courts there. and there Is
even now doubt whether he is sub
ject OF China or not. By many it is
claimed that he is a British citizen.

Among the old letters addressed to
George Washington, now collected in
the State Department library, is one
from lady who writes in the post
script that she is sorry not to be able
to use note-paper worthy of his royal
station, but had she used gold that
would have required an outer wrapper
and 1t would have been too much to
ask one in his position to open two
wrappers in order to get at SO unwor-
thy note as her own. This polite
speech" suggests that even in paying
compliments there are fashions" az
in other things. 1t is not certain.
however, that the letter to Washing
ton typifies the fashion of that day.
Doubtless President Mckinley would
be greatly surprised to find such a
compliment in letter addressed to
him, and perhaps General Washington
himself was surprised and amused by
his effusiye correspondent. The things
done In jest or in eccentricity in one
generation are often taken as wholly
serious by those who read of them in
a later one.
