By all means have that handy con-
~trivance called a gasoline saver.
One can buy a saver" at a hardware
store and pay q dollar. An iron hoop
off an old pail will answer. On this
is laid around piece Of tin, sixteen
inches in diameter. On this may be
set several small dishes, all cooking
at once For want of something small
enough use quart tomato cans, which
are plenty large enough for a small
family of two. If one cares to have
an extra second story" to the
saver" it may easily and cheaply be
added by any competent timer. 1t
is handy for boiling the tea-kettle, but
the need of one may be obivated by
using one Of the very small tea-ket-
ties holding about two quarts. Ot
course a cook would not undertake
to prepare a meal for threshers on
one gasoline burner, but this arrange
ment is admirable for the bachelor
| girl, Or for a family Of two.

Treasurer Of the Vatican.

The vatican is a city, nay. a little
kingdom in itself. Its thousands OF
rooms are divided UP into libraries,
art galleries, chapeis, ~monasteries, mu-
seums, mausoleums, administrative
halls and private suites, says the
Four Track News. Within the portals
of the vatican the impression wrought
up by its disappointing exterior van
ishes completely. Here all Is n vast
silence. No echo from the outside
world penetrates to disturb its Sc
rene peace. Dignity and decorum per-
wade tie atmosphere and, in the deep
stiffness, pictures from its tremendous
past come and go as in a panorama.
Pestilence, fire and wal have RACED
within these old walls. Mailed Sara
Gems camped within its sacred pre-
cincts, and vandals from the brutal
North bivouacked in its sanctuary and
ruthlessly destroyed its finest treas

can guarded and watched alternately

TO DESTROY ANTS.

There seems to be nothing better
than a plentiful supply of cayenne pep
per for Kidding a pantry of ants.
Where the foundations of a country
house are low and the pantry not ele-
vatel very much above the ground,
the h"ousekeeper is apt to he consider
ably troubled with this pest. Unde
such circumstances cayenne pepper
should be sprinkled very thoroughly
on all the pantry shelves (near the
edges under the paper coverings. Inc
shelves should be scalded well with
boiling water and then dried before
the cayenne is used. Where a pantry
has become infested with ants this
remedy may have to be repeated
often, and the shelves and window
sills thoroughly treated each time. IN
such cases it is wise to keep the
suear box and similar articles in an
other place for a while. With a little
care and patience, however, n can
not fail to succeed in clearing a pam
try of red ants in this way. Some
housekeepers place saucers of kero-
sene under the legs of tables and
other portable pieces in such a pan
try. This Is effective i'll keeping away
ants from a table holding food or
! anything attractive to them. but It Is
not a clearly remedy, as oil collects
dust. and Is also apt to be wiped Oh
on to skirt edges.
One of the most sensible things tc
do is to destroy the ants in their hills
near the foundations of the house. a
little boiling water Or a little kero
sene poured into the openings OF eacf
hole will exterminate myriads O
them. An abundance Of cold wate1
persistently applied with a hose to
lawn will ultimately keep them a
bay-Washington Times.

DISH CLOTHS.

These are but a small item in a
household outfit, but they are I'M
portant, and merit more attention n
care than are usually bestowed upon
them. The reason for this is easily
seen, when you consider them in con-
nection with all we use in eating.
When dish cloths are finished with
they should be put into a pan of hot
water, in which a little soda is dis
solved, and boiled for a few minutes,
then rinsed in cold water and hung
up to dry. II you do not do this every
day, you should make it a point twice
a week. Perhaps the best kind of
dish cloth is that made by knitting
very coarse cotton on large needles.
These can be bought, but the making
of them affords a nice occupation for
those whose eyesight fails, or for
children.

DOG WITH HUMAN FACE.
Strange Monstrosity Seen by Many

was the experience of a prominent
ranchwoman last evening. She was
driving slowly along the road across
the Arkansas river, from where the
animal has its lair, when her horse
suddenly SHE'D, almost throwing her
from the rig. She was horrifed to
see, a few feet ahead of her and in
the middle of the road, the monstros'
ity.
It was about the size and build OF
a full-groWn greyhound and. of a drab
color, it's glistening sides being Gov
cred with black spots as large as Sill
yer dollars. It had a long smooth
tail and the woman declares it had
an almost human face. and a bristl1ng
red mustache ornamented the proper
place upon its physiognomy. The eyes
were close together and deep set and
its ears stood erect and were very
pointed. After a moment it uttered
a piteous cry and skunk away through
the brush, turning at the top OF the
hill for a last look. 1t stood erect on
it's hind feet, punctured the rarehee

MURDERERs FREE "PAL.y

Elmira, N. Y, June 25.-Edward Fenner, a night watchman in Troy. Penn. little village a few miles south of this city, was murdered early this morning and his assaiIants are still at large. There are several strange and mysterious features in the case.
 Early last evening Fenner found q man proving around the streets aud locked him up About 3 o'clock this morning shots were heard Later. Fenner's body was found in a desert ed alley. On going to the borough lookup officers discovered that the man placed there lest night had been liberated by the use of the watchman's keys. No arrests have bee nmade. but police from this city have gone to Troy to help ferret out the murder. mystery.
 It is the general belief that the man arrested early in the evening was a member of 2 gang of robbers and thai Tn the night Fenner detected the oth- CTS in an attempt to enter a black smith shop near where his body was found. They must have murdered him there, taken his keys. liberated their companion and departed on a freight train
