BRAHMAN PROVERBS.

He that committeth no evil hath
nothing to fear.
Mix kindness with reproof and rea-
son with authority.
OF much speaking cometh repentance,
but in silence is safety.
The first step toward being wise is to
know that thou art ignorant.
Envy not the appearance of happl-
ness in any man, for thou knowest not
his secret griefs.
Indulge not myself in the passion of
anger. 1t is whetting a sword to wound
thine own breast.
Consider and forget not thine own
weakness, so shalt thou pardon the
failings of others.
The heart of the envious man is gall
and bitterness. The success of his
neighbor breaketh his rest.
This instant 10 thine. The next is in
the womb of futurity, and thou know
est not what 1t may bring forth.
As veil addeth to beauty. so are n
mans virtues set Off by the shade
which his modesty casteth upon him
As The ostrich when pursued hidcth
his head. but forgetteth his body. so

TANNING A HORSE.
Three Articles That Will Subdue the
Most Savage Animal.

There were trouble and excitement
one day on ranch in Colorado. A
high spirited, half broken stallion was
prancing about the yard attached to
the ranchers house. He had just
thrown a cowboy who boosted there
was nothing on four legs he could not
ride, and lie was rearing and bucking
80 that not even the pluckiest man on
the ranch dared to approach.
While the men were standing around
wondering what to do the ranchers
siXteen-year-old daughter came out of
the house and calmly walked up to the
excited animal.
When he saw her he ceased rearing,
whinnied and stood still. She tust put
her hand on his name, stroked his nose
and then vaulted lightly on his back
and rode around the yard, to the
hmaZement of the men.
How do you manage it?" one of
them asked her. Before you tackled
him lie was as savage as a tiger"
1T is simple enough" the girl re.
piled. ANY woman can handle q
horse better than a man can. See this
showing the man q small round. OBJ
ject she had in her hand-"this is
horse castor. Horses bve the smell of
it and will go up to any one who has it.
"Any horse has sense enough to know
the people who love it. That stallion
began to quiet down as soon as he saw
me. When l got near him he smelled
the musty horse castor in my clothes,
for l always carry little piece in my
pocket.
THAT pleased him so much that l
was able to stroke his head. While do
ing so l rubbed his nose with a few
drops of oil of cumin, which / had
poured into the palm of my hand.
Horses positively love that scent. Then,
did you notice that put my hand into
his mouth? The object of that was to
pour few drops of oil of rhodlum on
to his tongue from tiny vial which
| always carry.
with these three articles any horse
can be tanned. Where do you get them +?
Well, the cumin and rhodium can be
bought at any drug store; the horse
castor must be cut from a horses fore
foot. 1t is warty growth there"
1t is n fact that horses are very fond
of these scents. They are often used
by women in the tropics and west in
the training and breaking of horses

CHOCOLATE CAKE.
A Recipe That Will Produce a Deli
cious CONNECTION.

Recipe That VIII Produce a Dell
cious CONNECTION.
Here Is a recipe for making q deli
cious chocolate cake:
Put into a saucepan cupful Of sug-
ar, half cupful Of milk, half cupful
of broken chocolate, the yolk of an egg
and teaspoonful Of vanilla. Beat the
mixture well and place on the stove I'M
til 1t begins to boil and becomes
smooth, but do not let it get too thick.
Then set it away to cool. While cooling
beat half cupful of butter until it be-
comes creamy, add a cupful Of sugar
and two well beaten eggs, half cupful
of milk in which a scant teaspoonful
of soda has been dissolved, two cupfuls
of -four and lastly the cooled mixture.
Bake in four tins in a moderate oven
for twenty minutes.
When the cakes are cooled spread
over and between the sheets icing made
as follows: Boil two cupfuls of granu-
lated sugar with q quarter cupful Of
water for five minutes. Beat the whites
of two eggs to froth and pour the hot
strip upon them, beating all the while
until well mixed. The icing may be
used Mt once. If you do not wish to
frost the sides of the cake piece Of
stiff writing paper can be pinned
around the Washington Star.

USING UP OLD SHOES.
A Thrifty Housewife Makes Rugs of
Worn Leather.


Worn Leather.
The thrifty housewife has discovered
q new use for old shoes She makes
rugs out OF the uppers. For this pur-
pose she saves all her old shoes-her
husbands, the children's and her own.
AS fast as the shoes are discarded it
will be a good plan to cut the tops off
and after cleaning them lay them care
fully away in box for future use. The
first step is to cut pattern-diamond,
star, square, oblong or right angle tri-
angle. If the latter is desired it should
measure four inches along the straight
sides. Two triangles can be cut from
each shoe top. To make rug % by SO
inches will require the uppers from
eighteen pairs of shoes.
To lace the leather together purchase
eyelets like those used in shoes for %
cents box One box contains several
hundred eyelets. By means of an anvil
punch holes in the leather strips and
fasten the eyelets at the same time, or,
If eyelets are not desired merely punch
holes with an awl and lace the strips
together with shoestrings. Finish with
a fringe of shoestrings. Line the en-
tire rug with bright red broadcloth or
flannel, slashing all the edges to the
depth of three inches for an under
fringe. The red will look pretty under
the laces, and the rug will last life

Keuka lake is one of the most attrac
tive of the great chain of lakes in the
interior of New York state. Bluff point
at its head is bold promontory which
rises grandly and impresslvely. 1t was
upon the banks of this lake that the
famous "Jemima Wilkinson" founded
colony nearly three generations ago
and announced that she could walk up
on the water Of the lake. A large crowd
gathered to see her undertake the ex-
pertinent. Turning to her followers,
she asked, "Have you all faith that
can walk upon the waterT' 1--WE havel
We havev' her followers replied. 'Then
there is no use in my undertaking to do
So" she replied. 'If We have faith We
shall be saved without my walking up
on the water."-Syracuse Telegram.

"They saw" said Mrs. Oldcast!e.
''that Mr.. Faddlethwaite. who used to
belong to our church, has become an

him that he'd get it if he didn't give
up eatin' so fast."-Chicago Record

FACE AND NECK.
How to Attain n Soft Skin and Daz-
zIing Shoulders.

ziing Shoulders.
If the girl who has a blotched COM
plexion will heat her face hot with
cloths wrung out of water that is very
nearly heated TO boiling, and If she will
hold them on until her face is very
nearly scarlet, she will find that her
skin is smooth and soft and as fine in
texture as that Of an incubator baby.
After the face has been steamed or
heated by the application of hot cloths
the next thing is to spread cold cream
upon it. This should be applied not
with sparing hand. but in liberal doses.
The thinner the cream in substance the
easier it will be to apply and the more
there is of it the better for the face.
The cream may be put on half an
inch thick. if one can apply it as heav-
lily as that, and it can be allowed to
ooze down upon the neck and the
shoulders and slowly rubbed in.
Those who want a very white neck
and a pair of dazzling shoulders can
mix a very little peroxide of hydrogen
in with little lanolin and apply to the
skin. 1t acts as a great bleach.
When plenty of cold cream has been
rubbed in the hot skin the whole can
be mopped with q linen cloth. and then
by some miracle there is wiped off with
the cold cream nine-tenths of the blem-
ishes that afflict the skin. In the num-
Der can be included blackheads, which
seem literally to dissolve before the
benefcent influences Of the cream.

Monday.

Marquette, Mich, Jan. 12.-Fifty
thousand dollars worth of property at
the Marquette penitentiary went up
in smoke at fire which burned for
two hours. The blaze broke out in the
basement of the cigar shop through
some unknown cause, and within five
minutes the entire structure was in
flames. Only the fact that convicts
were in their cells eating dinner is
believed to have prevented disastrous
loss of life, so rapidly did the flames
spread.
AS 1t was, the men were admitted
to the yard, and there they not only
behaved admirably but did gallant
work in fighting the blaze.

why Little Folks Are Big Eater

why Little Folks Are Big Eaters.
1t has been laid down as physiolog
zeal rule that the requirements of adult
diet depend not on the weight of the
eater, but on the extent Of his bodily
surface. In the case of children this
rule is further modified. An infant
may weigh one-eighteenth as much as
a grown man, but its surface is more
than one-seventh as great. AS the first
requirement Of the infants food is to
replace the heat that is continually be
Ing lost by radiation from all parts OF
the body, the latter fraction determines
the needed proportion Of nourishmeni
rather than the former. But in the
case of a growing child food is also
needed to supply the increase of bodily
weight. In all, an infants ration may
be five times as much as would be esti
mated from its actual weight alone

Association of Oklahoma held meeting
in this city today. Those present were:
d. c. Oates, of Alva; S. a. Elliott. of
Cheyenne; j. L. Campbell. of Arapaho;
c. F. Brattain, of Pond Greek; j. II.
Brown, of Taloga; John Ozmun. of El

Southerland. of Watonga; W. a. Grace,
of Tecumseh, and William Tilghman, of

1t was reported on the streets that the
sheriffs had met TO devise some means
to make a fight on Auditor Baxter for
his recent ruling in regard to the sher-
iff's furnishing receipts for their expen-
ditures, but visit to the Commercial
club rooms. where the meeting was held.
very soon dispelled this idea.
The sherifrs generally agred that Aud
itor Baxter intended TO be fair with them
and that was all they wanted They
are getting the receipts where possible,
and when that cannot be done they state
that fact when putting in their claims.
The sheriffs when assembled make a
good showing for intelligence and gen
tlemanly qualities. They do not talk like
men who are liable to have trouble with
any of the territorial officials One
ground for complaint on the part Of the
men who guard the lives OF the people
and the property interests OF the terri
tory is that the legislature only votes q
certain amount for expenses and when
that is used up the sheriffs have 70 fur
nish theiT own money for expenses and
wait for the next legislature TO assemble
and make en- appropriation TO reimburse
