tie less than half an inch thick and
perfectly smooth. Then stick it
through the holes in the strips that
extend below the box, SO that the
ends of the stick extend an equal dis
lance beyond both sides of the box
Get two large spools, such as black
mother sews your shoe buttons on
with, and first, putting a little glue
inside the spools, stick them on the
ends of the stick, one on each side
of the box, as in Fig. 2. Then the
front wheels of your 'auto" are
made.
Take thin strips of wood, four
inches long and two inches wide;
bore holes half an inch in diameter,
half an inch from one end of each,
and fit an axle through the holes
with spools on the end of the axle,
just as you did in making the front
wheels. Tack these strips that hold
the axle to the box which forms the
body of your ''auto" SO that they ex-
tend backward and downward, as in
Fig. 3.
Take two strips of wood, 20 inches
long AVID four inches wide, and bore
half-inch hole one inch from the
end of each. Take a round stick
half N inch thick, and II inches
long, white the ends until they will

the 2o-inch strips. Put some glue on
the ends of the 11-inch round stick
and place the ends securely in the
holes in the strips. Then tack the
other end of the strips to the body
of your ''auto" inside, an inch from
the back end, as in Fig. 4.
Tie piece of strong cord four feet
long, to the exact center Of the rear
axle, and to the other end Ct the cord
tie weight of about half a pound
Place this weight in the bottom Of
the box, SO that the cord hangs di-
rectly over the middle of the cross
bar above. Then turn the rear wheels
backward until over half of the cord
is wound around the center of the
axle, and the weight is drawn to the
top of the crossbar, as in Fig. s.
Then your ''auto" is ready to start
AS soon as you release it, the weight
pulling on the cord will cause the
rear axle to turn around and your
"auto" to go ahead at a good speed
for quite a distance. When the
weight descends to the bottom of the
box the vehicle will stop. Then wind
the rear wheels backward again and
start it off as before.-Cincinnat

awhile after the plaintive new OF
five wee kittens broke on the silence
of the farm. This unwonted sound in
fireplace that had heretofore been en-.
tirely the realm Of the poultry at
tracted the attention of the old hen
that had been driven off, and with
much ado and running fire OF
clucks she descended upon the barrel
and attacked the mother cat with a
great iury. The cat retreated before
the onslaught and the hen, pausing
to look over the fuzzy kittens, de-
cided they we're the makings of a
good family and adopted them. She
deserted her own brood of chicks al
together and took up her headquar-
ters in the barrel, driving off the old
cat every time she appeared. After a
few days she yielded so far that she
would permit the cat to nurse her
young, but that was all.
The Kittens seemed to find nothing
strange in the new condition of at
fairs, and as they grew older had
great sport climbing over and claw
ing feathers out of their guardian.
One of the remarkable features
concerning these chicken-raised cats
is that they never torment or try to
kill the poultry in the yard.

HEN RAISED KITTENS.
BARNARD Biddy ForsOOk Her Brood
for q Litter of Squeaking
Little Cats. .o

Port Arthur, Tex, boasts five
healthy young kittens that were
brought through the infant stage
successfully by a fussy old hen. So
far has the fame of the strange
brood spread that photographers
have ;ourneyed many miles to get
snap shot at the picture offered.
One of these pictures is in the pos
session of DR.. Fred S. Selby, 2055
West Adams street, Chicago, and
from it is reproduced the accompany

The kittens and the hen with the
strange fancy for furry pets are the
property of Mrs. w. p. Park, the
mother of DR.. selby's wife. The hen

things it's own way. Early this sprin
the mistress of the poultry yard
brought forth a brood of feathery
young chicks, and, not liking the
place where her family was born,
led them across the barnyard and es-
tablisned headquarters in a barrel
near the house. Mrs. Park wanted
the chicks in the henhouse, so she
overturned the barrel and "shooed''
them off.
Meanwhile the family cat happened
along and discovered the barrel lay

FAITHFUL FRIEND.

Lenox, Mo-, Sept. 1st.-Mr. W. II.

HOW CHOP SUEY IS MADE.
Famous Chinese Delicacy That IL BE-
coming n Popular Dish In the
United States.

Chop suey, the national dish OF China
for at least 25 centuries, bids fair to be-
come a standard food in this country.
There are some 60 Chinese restaurants
scattered over the different boroughs
of Greater New York whose chief at
traction is this popular composition,
and several American restaurants
have endeavored to take advantage OF
it's popularity by adding it to their daily
bill of fare. There is ridiculous
amount of mystery concerning the
dish. 1t is simple, economical and cas-
lily made, according to the New York
Post. The general formula is as fol-
lows: One pound of moderately lean
fresh pork, cut into pieces quarter Of
an inch thick, q half an inch wide and
an inch long. Two chicken ivers,
chopped up to the size OF dice, two
chicken gizzards, cut into slices the
size of nickel, and each ring pinked
with the lines almost meeting in the
center. O."
The heat of cooking causes the fbers
to shrink, and converts the circle into
many-pointed star. A quarter of a
pound of celery cut into slivers, quar-
ter of pound of canned mushr ooms,
and quarter of pound of green peas,
chopped string beans, asparagus tips,
bean sprouts, or satisfy. These are
thrown into frying-pan over a hot
fire, covered with cup of water, four
tablespoonfuls of peanut oil, olive oil,
or melted butter, a tablespoonful of
chopped onion, half a Glove Of garlic,
grated salt, white pepper and red pep
per.
If the fire is hot enough, these will
cook in five minutes. The contents of
the pan should be stirred to prevent
burning, and the moment the water
boils out, fresh water should be added
in small quantities to prevent frying.
The dish should be served promptly,
and is not only palatable but whole
some and easily digested. In place Of
pork, mutton can be employed, while
chicken liver and gizzard may be re-
placed by those of turkey. Some Chi
nese cooks use the Indian soy, which
is sweeter. The effect can be initiated
by adding teaspoonful of Worcester
! shire sa uce and another of brown sugar
or teaspoonful of molasses. Az
! agreeable modification results from
the use of asparagus tips along with
the other vegetable ingredients, while
the Singapore variety is obtained by
stirring in tablespoonful of curry
paste. In the Chinese restaurants the
cost varies from 10 to rs cents plate,
the more expensive dish containing a
fair amount of the best imported
French mushrooms.

Fort Apache, during the outbreak in
'73, built up the place and was trying
to keep the red devils in shape there
with few men. Irode into the coun-

you had to ride $50 to get to the near

"We had been cooped up at the fort
for over four months without any
mail; the men were restless-guess it
was enough to make them restless, too,
for we had expected the whole herd
of Apaches down on us at any time.
You could never tell what old Geron-
limo would do. One day the captain
gave me detail of Is men and told
me to 60 to Fort Grant for mail and
few supplies. It was over hun
dred miles through the Indian coun-
try, with hills and deserts where a
jackrabbi would have trouble in keep
ing on a trail. About Railways out,
eight of my troopers deserted. There
wasn't any use in trying to get them
back, for you couldn't very we'll find
them in the first place, and hadn't

There was no way of getting in any

bottom of a narrow canyon that was
just abut wide enough for road. It
