strange the Democrats were not a lit

WILD DUCK OR GOOSE.
Clean Birds as Soon as Brought In
Mistake to Thing Gamy Fla
vor IL Thus Spoiled.

II the hunters of your family ever
bring home wild ducks or geese, you
want to know how to prepare them.
Don't be led away by that old, mistaken
idea that they want to hang awhile,
without cleaning, 10 get the "gamy"
flavor. The meat is 'gamy' enough
and if the entrails are not promptly TO-
moved, therell be very unpleasant
favor.
After plucking the birds, clean and
wash them thoroughly and rub them
we'll inside and outside with fine salt in
which you have mixed some black pep
per and nutmeg, If you like the flavor.
Don't fill with anything, but dot liberal
ly with butter and bake brown, basting
frequently. A cup Of rich cream, added
during the last hour of baking, improves
the gravy.
Germans generally put few bay
leaves and slices of lemon in the bak-
ing pan, and instead Of the cream they
add a glass Of good red wine at the last.
If the bird is not very young, 1t is best
to cover it in the bake oven at first, later
removing the cover, and adding water
only when it is necessary. The gravy is
thickened q little with -four.
There is no use trying to roast an old
bird-the wild ones are even worse than
the tame In that respect But there is
another way of preparing them very
palatably. After plucking and cleaning,
cut them up and rub each piece with salt
and lay In fresh vinegar over night.
They can remain in vinegar longer, If
necessary, but must be put in cool (not
freezing) place and turned often.
When ready to cook, take some good
beef drippings, put in pan over the fire
with several onions cut fine, and when
light brown, add -four and brown, stir
ring all the time. Next pour in enough
boiling water to make nice gravy, add
salt, pepper and little cloves and sew
eral bay leaves, good piece of butter,
and some vinegar. Then put in the parts
Of the duck or goose which have been
lying in vinegar throw the vinegar
bath away, cover pot closely and stew
slowly until tender. When done you
can add some red wine to the gravy or
not, Just as you prefer. The gravy
should be little sour and spicy, but not
too much SO.
Wild rabbit can be prepared in the
same manner. Some people drop in a
lump Of sugar when stewing the latter.

ON TRAINING OF CHILD.
An Interesting Experiment of Hav-
ing Children Live Simple Life
Comes Over in England.

New views of the child training
problems are found in the foreign Gus.
tom of providing separate playhouses,
and sometimes separate living houses.
for children. An English woman whe
had two grandchildren living near hel
had small empty cottage which she be-
lieVed might be made useful to them in
teaching them to help themselves.
The little house only had one room on
the ground floor, and she furnished il
as living room for them, and put store
of coal and wood just outside, which they
brought in when they wanted it, and
with which they learned to light theil
own fire. With the help of the governess
they did cooking for themselves, washed
up their own things, and were taught
to keep everything in order, with some
help and persuasion. They entertained
their grandmother, and had other
friends to tea, and sometimes they would
get in provisions for their dinner and
spend the whole day.
Convenient cupboards and places for
putting everything were arranged in
this cottage, and it was well equipped
with pretty china Of size which was
in happy medium between toy and
unitarian.
other serious experiments have beer
made along the same line in England,
one Of the most prominent being that OF
the countess Of Essex, who fitted UP
quite a stable cottage on her country
estate, and had her children and their
governess live there good part Of the
time. They had their own friends and
servant, and took part in the house
keeping themselves, the object being in
this case that they could live more sim.
ply here than they could at the hall.
A small, solid, well-built room, with
one wall omitted, in which children can
play during the day, is common feature
of the back lawns in Germany. Tables
and chairs where children can have
their little lunches are provided, and
they act as hostesses to the elder part OF
the family at the hour for afternoon cof-
fee or tea.-Chicago Tribune.

ARE YOU VERY TIRED?
Simplify Daily Duties as Far as Pos
sible for We Were Not Meant
to Overwork.

There is too much tiredness in the
world, especially among business
women.
Half the days work has to be done by
force of the will, since there is not force
of body enough to carry them through.
Most women accept this as unavoid-
able. To be tired is normal, whether
one has charge Of baby or a type
writer. To tell them nature intended
back and burden to be in due proportions
does not help matters. They are too
tired to theorize.
To get up fresh and CHEEKY in the
morning, do your duties vigorously, with
energy to spare for a song and smile.
and lie down in the happy, wholesome
WEAKNESS of a well-spent day-that
surely was the original plan for our
days.
Are we never to get back to It?
Some say the way lies through gym
nasiums, others hunt for Don't Worry
clubs and good resolutions. Still Others
seek it by simplifying the daily duties
and throwing of the worlds compare
tive standards.
And the last are nearer to reaching
the goal than any Of the others.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.

CORNERSTONE DATA.
Odd Occupation in Which Illinois
Deputy Sheriff En-
cages.

One Of the oldest occupations fol
lowed in this age is that of the pro.
fessional collector of data for corner
stone boxes. Probably Bloomington is
the only town in America that is able
to boast Of such an expert, to whose
mind and hands the packing Of all the
boxes that are buried in the town is
turned over, says the Chicago Daily
News.
Deputy Sheriff Stevenson is the name
of the man who likes to engage in this
kind of work, and he seems to have
all hes can do. Within a short time
he has packed boxes for the new
county court house, public library,
Livingston building and several park
structures. He is now engaged in pre-.
pairing data for three copper boxes
that will be placed in the cornerstone
of a park pavilion. The boxes and
their contents will weigh Is pounds.
MT. OIef6uSOu udo oOluC HuCOi AuOoS
about what kind Of stuff should go
into cornerstone box. The daily and
weekly papers are always included,
but there is a great variety Of other
things. He collects number Of trade
catalogues that show what the people
of THIS age eat and wear, how they
have their houses and Offices furnished,
and whether they ride horse, bicycle
or in an automobile. One hundred
years or less hence, should a cyclone
come along and lift the buildings Of
the town from their foundations, the
people of that time will have a great
time studying over the odd things, that
they will dig out Of the foundations.
Not long since the town suffered 3
great loss of business houses by dew
astating fire. Some Of the founda-
tions of buildings that had been built
long time ago yielded the town valu.
able historical facts that kept the town
interested for weeks afterward. The
residents became thoroughly enthused
on the subject of cornerstone boxes and
