SHOT EAGLES FROM A TRAIN.
The Train Was Moving and the Feat Was
Done with a Rifle, Honest.

When the Missouri Pacific passenger
train was speeding on its way westward
recently, Tom Kinney. a baggageman
saw an eagle perched on the cross arm OF
a telegraph pole some distance east OF
k!ngman and made the remark to him
self: III get that fellow this evening -
He Informed the train crew of the pros
pect ahead. and the engineer and fireman
agreed TO be on the lookout on the return

that Mr.. Eagle in question was still there

he could do with a rifle.
When the train arrived near the pla &c
mentioned in the evening not only the
eagle OF the morning was in sight but its
mate had also come and taken up a po-
sluon at the other end of the teiegrap
pole cross bar. Tom was given the tip
by the steam being applied and he made
ready for action. The boys say that
when Tom fired the two shots it sounded
almost like one, so quick did they fol

that both birds descended to mother

Points on Pruning Shrubs.

If those who have shrubbery on their
grounds would but remember the sim
pie fact Of the period of bloom and that
blossoms come on the new growth they
would remember when to prune. The
blossoms on the spring-blooming shrubs
are formed on the wood that was
grown after the blooming season of a
year ago, hence if these shrubs are
pruned in the spring we simply cut off
the f1ower-bearing shoots and no flow
ers are had. The time to prune spring
Towering shrubs is just after they have
stopped blooming, So they may have
the rest of the summer in which to
grow the flower shoots for another
spring. The fall-blooming shrubs
should be pruned in the spring for
they will then grow the flower shoots
for the coming fall period Of bloom
One can see how simple it is if they
will but remember.

Water and Solids in Milk

When the cream or fat is removed
every 100 pounds of skim milk contain
about 90 per cent of water and 10 per
cent of solids. The solids contain
about So per cent of casein and 40 per
cent of milk sugar, with small proper
lions of fat and albumen as the fat
cannot be entirely removed. The milk
sugar remains in the whey when it sep
arates and the casein in the curds or
cheesy matter, though both contain
small percentages Of fat, albumen, etc
The whey will promote the formation
of fat, while the curds supply the ele-
ments for growth and muscle. 1t will
be an advantage to feed the two sub
stances together, adding bran and sea-
son lightly with salt. If the skim milk
becomes very sour and begins to fer
ment it should not be used at all. The
proper plan is to use the skim milk
when fresh or but slightly sour.

A Hotbed for an Amateur.

more ambitious method than that
of growing his early flowers in boxes,
kept in the house, may be tried by the
amateur gardener who is also an anna
teur carpenter. 4 hotbed may be built
at small expense. Old window sash, or
a single sash purchased cheaply, and
four boards, one inch thick and one
and one-half feet wide, may be put
together to form the hotbed, the boards
being used for the walls.
Warm stable manure should be put
in the bottom, from One-half to three
fourths of a foot deep, and firmly
pressed down. The bed should be we'll
drained. Light soil, to depth Of one
or two inches should be spread over the
manure and after one or two days,
when the temperature is cooled down
to 70 or so degrees, the bed is ready
for use
The plants, in pots or boxes, should
be put in the bed. The boxes may be
prepared as for indoor use, with ordi-
nary garden soil at the bottom, and
lighter soil on top. Large holes should
be left to drain the box. The fine seed
should be sprinkled on the surface, and
fine soil sprinkled over it, and the
coarse seed sown in drills, or pressed
down into the SOIL and covered with a
thin layer Of earth. The soil should be
gently sprinlled with water as soon
as the seed is planted and kept moist.
without becoming soggy.
The hotbed should be shaded from
the hot sun, but there should be plenty
Of light. The cover of the bed should
be kept on until the seedlings have
started to make good growth. On warm
spring days the plants should be given
fresh air by raising the sash slightly.

Short suggestions.

Fennel for mackerel and salmon
whether fresh or picked.
Use the tiny sprigs of celery tops fol
salads and cold meats.
Picked onions, gherkins or capers
for boiled meats, stews, etc.
Currant jelly for game and also fol-
custards and bread buildings.
Red Deets cut in ornamental shapes
for cold meat and boiled beef.
Mint. either with or without parsley
for roast lamb. both hot and cold.
Never use salt on steak while broil-
ing, as it extracts the juice in cook
ing.
Sliced eggs showing both the white
and yellow parts are nice for chicken
salad.
Parsley is the garnish most univer-
sally used for all kinds of cold meats,
fish. cheese, etc.
Spots of black pepper alternating
with red on the fat side of a boiled
ham. which should be uppermost.
i inusty cellar may be sweetened by
setting rams of very hot charcoal about
the floor, especially in the dark cor
ners.

INGENIOUS COOKERY FRAUDS.
How Cod Becomes Salmon and Beef Veal
Substitute for Breast of Chicken.

1t has almost passed into 4 proverb
that many of the dishes served up IN
cheap restaurants where nothing is vast
ed are to put it mildly, mysteries. But
on the other hand, most people who
patroniZe fashionable and more ambitious
restaurants are generally content to ac-
| cept the menu for what it is said to be.
! The blind trust is, however, in many
such restaurants somewhat abused, and
the amount of taking" which goes on
today in some of the well-to-do establish
ments would probably surprise those who
are uninitiated in the higher branches
of the culinary art.
For instance, says the London lit
! Bits, by the addition of vegetable juice
just before being dished up, cod outlets
are, at seasons when salmon is very
dear, set before customers as salmon cut
lets, and are, needless to say, charged
accordingly. This deception" according
to an ex-chef, is widely practised not
only in better class restaurants, but also
on some Of the great liners.
Another popular trick as practised by
the restaurateur is to serve as veal beef
done up over night in sailed bandages,
while a skillful chef has very little diff
fculty in palming off whiting for sole
on epicures who pride themselves on the
soundness of their judgment of cooking.
A few weeks ago a dinner for seventy
FIVE people was ordered at a well-known
fashionable restaurant. a large con-
signment of salmon had been previously
ordered, but to the CONSERVATION of the
chef the dinner hour slowly approached
and still no salmon arrived.
In despair the chef-a frencnman-de-
cided to take the bull by the horns" and
procure another fish to do duty for the
coveted salmon. accordingly. he set to
work to turn cod outlets into salmon cut
lets, and this rapid transformation was
soon effected by an addition of vegetable
juice. The walters, who naturally were
aware of this wholesale deception, We're
given express orders to report any COM
plants to the chef at once However, to
the intense delight of the chef, all passed
off well, and on hearing that his subter-
fuge had not been detected he gleefully
exclaimed, ''Ah, a cod and French cook
can work miracles"
Green peas at certain seasons of the
year are naturally luxury quite beyond
the reach of the man of average means,
while even caterers for fashionable hO-
tells themselves frequently have the great
est difficulty in getting a sufficiently large
quantity to meet the demand. However,
to fake peas does not offer any great
difficulty in times of stress. and by add
ing vegetable coloring matter yellow peas
are quite commonly served up as green
peas along with the duck and havorless
new potato which more often than not
comes from abroad.
Roast veal served with a thick white
sauce makes, says a well-known chef, q
most satisfactory substitute for the breast
of chicken, and therefore it does not
come altogether as surprise TO learn

but whether it can be profitably grown
over any considerable territory can
only be discovered by experimenting
with it. So far. in limited tests, it
seems to be better than any other of
the English varieties, but its quality
is not nearly as good as the old ia
vorite with American growers, the
Downing. 1t shows less tendency to
mildew than other European varieties,
although it is doubtless susceptible to
that disease. 1t is not advised to plant
this variety largely without first test
ing it through several seasons.

Doctor Brigham Says
MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydia e. Pstskffana9,S
Negotiable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womanl,ind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant, not because 1t
is palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknOwl
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia e. Piukham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.

of Lydia E. Pinlham and for twenty
five years has been advising sick
