NEW BEAST OF BURDEN.
Experiments in the Production Of q
Cross Between. Horse and
Zebra.

BY means of two male zebras, I'M
ported from Abyssinia as the gift OF
King Menelik and which are now at
tbs National Geological park in Wash
ington, the department Of agriculture
hopes to make in this country new
beast of burden-a cross between the
zebra and the horse. Experiments in
this direction by the French authori-
ties at Paris have been very success
full, says Country Life in America. The
hybrid is smaller than the horse. II is
an exceedingly tough and wiry animal
and will be suited to the warmer sec
tons of the United States. The his
tory of the American mule is sug-
gestive Of the possibilities Of the zebra.
A century ago the mule was a very
scarce animal In the United States.
Washington had done much to direct
attention to his merits and had loaned
the services of large Spanish Jack,
presented to him by the king Of
Spain. But the mule did not become
popular until we'll into the century.
At our last census, however, we had
nearly 100000 mules with taxable
value of $250,O00,0O0. The possibilities
from the two zebras are immense
they may combine with the donkey
and back into the horse and thus IN
troduce entirely new strains.

TOO MUCH FUNNY BUSINESS
Kentucky Bridegroom Who Didn't
Believe in Kissing in
Public.

A well-known Kentuckian tells Of a
m marriage ceremony that justice of
the peace in the Blue Grass state was
hurriedly called upon one day to per-
form.
1t appears, relates Success Magazine,
that the bridegroom, a big noun
taineer very roughly dressed, had
brought his prospective bride with
him to the Office of the clerk Of the
court, thinking to secure his license
and have the ceremony performed at
one visit. When his license had been
duly granted the mountaineer asked If
there was a justice of the peace then
in the court house who could tie the
knot. Upon being advised by the clerk
that he himself was justice of the
peace and that he was willing to join
the two lovers, the bridegroom said
WAL then, we're ready; go
ahead"
But you'll have to secure two wit
nesses," smilingly observed the clerk
and justice, before can proceed"
At this the mountaineer demurred,
saying that he did not care for wit
nesses. Nevertheless, he was convinced
in a moment that this formality was
an indispensable one, and accordingly
the necessary witnesses were procured
and the ceremony began. When the
couple had promised to love, obey, ETC.,
together with the rest of the service,
the justice of the peace, quite inno-
Gently observed that the bridegroom
should kiss the bride"
Thereupon the mountaineer exhibit
ed fresh impatience at the exactions OF
the official. Look here!" he exclaimed,
angrily, 1T seems to me that you're
draggin' in lot of funny business in
this weddin'. Why, l kissed her be-
fore we came I'M"

LITTLE HINTS.

Sealloped linen ruching is a nov
city.
Aigrettes flourish on most OF the
new hats.
The "Longworth" turnover collar is
q new one.
Hydrangeas are one Of the millinery
favorites OF the year.
Linen collar and cuff sets sprinkled
with colored knots are pretty.
Most Of the imported parasols have
extravagantly long handles.
Stunning little dinner coats OF Sill
yer and gold gauze come from Paris
The lingerie hat Of embroidered
muslin is prettier than ever this year.
Velvet ribbons of all colors and
widths are to be great deal used this
summer.
All shades of purple, gray and some
shades Of blue are becoming to elder
iy women.
Fearful and wonderful is an elbow
glove of red silk embroidered on thu
back with yellow daisies.
One really ought to wear those fas-
cinating new lace nightcaps for some
more public occasion.
Most of the new veilings are snowy
in design, even when adhering strict
ly to all black or all white.
Blue, especially the delicate hya-
cinth shade, the medium tones, and
the classic deep blues are all good.
Mohair, in its soft, improved quail
ity and lovely colorings, is one OF the
best possible choices for princess
dress.
Those smart French plaid ribbons
are liked by schoolgirls for hairbows.
They ring a change on the foWery

And, by the way, the princess skirt
does succeed in making nearly every
woman look as If nature had blessed
her with a perfect figure.-Chicago

A PUMPKIN-YELLOW WALL.
Recommended for a Summer Home
with Mission Furniture-About
Other Decoration.

This is an excellent wall paper color
for summer home room furnished in
the mission furniture. The wood trims
about the room should be stained some
dark hue, such as weathered or TUNED
oak, to correspond with the dark tone
of the furniture. In this case the best
color to use at the windows is yellow
like the paper.
The paper chosen may be cartridge,
burlap may be put on the walls and
stained, or the walls may be rough
plastered and sandsd, and then tinted.
This last is most satisfactory. 1t is
especially to be recommended where
mission furniture is used, for 1t seems
particularly well adapted to the sim
plicity of construction expressed by
the straight line furniture. In addi-
ton to this it has the advantage of be-
ing the cheapest form of wall treat
ment available. If this method Of dec
Grafton be adopted a plate rail may
be used ON the walls two-thirds Of the
distance from the floor, and above
that lighter tint Of yellow will make
a most agreeable contrast and do away
with the necessity of a frieze.
If the room is Of awkward Height,
either too low or too high, some Of the
modern designs in stripes are particu-
larly useful. Should the room be too
high the stripes ought not to go
to the ceiling, but should end some
distance below it, and at this point a
picture molding should be applied. II
the room is too low the reverse treat
ment should be applied, and the paper
carried over on the molding on the
ceiling for a few inches. In this case
no molding should be used, and the
furniture should be kept away from
the walls.
The use of advancing colors like
reds or yellows will tend to make the
room look smaller and more cheerful,
particularly II it have cold exposure
while the use of the receding colors,
blues or greens, will give the room an
appearance of increased size, and help
tone down the often too vivid light

SEASoNABLE DESSERTS.
Nice Sponge Cake and Cream, Tapioca
Cream - Cup Custards Better
Served Coda Lemon Pie.

We give some easily prepared des-
serts, some Of which can be made
early In the morning, and so the mat.
ter be settled for the day. Judging
from our own experience, it is a
great help to know that nice des-
sert Is ready without further trouble
for the family dinner, when one is de-
layed and has an inefficient maid.
For sponge cake and cream, slice
the cake and pour over some juice
from any sort Of canned or preserved
fruit; whip a cup Of cream, sweeten
and flavor and pile ON the cake. Tap
ioca cream can be prepared in the
morning, as 1t should be served cc,d.
Soak a tablespoonful Of pearl tapioca
over night and cook until soft in a
pint Of sweetened milk; add the beaten
yolks Of two eggs and stir until thick;
when cool flavor to taste with vanilla,
beat the whites Of two eggs stiff and
pile on top. Ambrosit is we'll known,
but 1t may not be so generally appre'
ciated that a spoonful Of Jamaica rum
sprinkled over the oranges an hour be-
fore adding the cocoanut and the addi-
ton of some bits of grapefruit or pine
apple make a far more delicious des-
sert Of 1t.
All cup oustards are the better for
being served very cold; caramel GUS
tards are easily made. Brown the SUI
gar and add to the beaten yolks of the
eggs before stirring into the boiling
milk; no other fiavoring is needed, and
the whites Of the eggs can be used to
make a painful Of little cakes to serve
with the custards.
Here is a recipe found good for a
lemon cream pie: Beat together a
cup Of sugar, half a tablespoonful OF
butter, the yolks Of two eggs and juice
and grated rind Of lemon; add a
cup of hot milk, with a little over,
and set aside to cool; then add the
stfffly beaten whites, very lightly
stirred in, and bake in fiaky pie crust
from half to three-quarters OF an hour
in moderate oven.-St. Louis Globe

STRANGE CLIMATIC EFFECT
Black Irishman Gave a Son of Erin
a Desire to Get Back
Home.

In Montserrat, the population, al
though colored, speak with a brogIe.
This has been an Hibernian island
ever since Cromwell used it as place
of exile for rebels. The exiles fol-
lowed the fashion of the time in fore
ing the populace into slavery, and the
descendants of these slaves, who are,
of course, free, are now engaged In
making lime Juice and talking Irish.
A sailor from Cork landed one day
at the principal port, and fell into con-
versation with q particularly black
longshoreman. The newcomer vas
filed with establishment at the famil-
lar speech.
AN how long have yez been in this
placer" he asked the negro.
"Sure an it's two months since
came over" said the other, meaning
that he had crossed from the other
side Of the island.
"Well," replied the Irishman, IF II

two months, here's what's goin' back
to Ireland be the next ship"

SOCIAL POWER OF WOMEN.
In Every Community There Are
Lonely People Who Need the
Help of Social Intercourse.

/ wonder whether women are max
ing the most of social opportunities
The eleyating of social life is one Of
the greatest problems in our land to-
day and this ennobling work is pre-
eminently that of the average woman
in every community who loves her fell
lowmen and women enough to try to
serve them in humble service in that
little corner of the great world into
which her lot has been cast.
Could women not do something in
the time that they now take for whist
playing, which with many women has
become a debauch, crowding out all
noble inspirations and belittling life,
usurping public spirit and civic duty,
might they not more wisely spend that
time in providing entertainment for
the people of moderate means who
live in your community?
Could they not arrange to get the
people together in some unused church
or perhaps in their own parlors and by
friendly intercourse, led on by some
invited speaker, develop better citi-
zenship in their community?
Social life is in the hands of wom-
en- and the higher the social position
and the larger the wealth the greater
the need that something should be
done to broaden culture and bring
sunshine to the lives of those who
have so little to amuse them Chicago

how to get rested.
"Our teacher is a pupil of Betz, the

one another. 1t is immensely edify-
ing, for its results are quickly and

FAMOUS LOST TREASURES.
Relics of the Days of the Pharaohs
and Other Epochs Worth
Fortunes.

The Venus de Milo, which has been
IN the Louvre for many years, Is. as
all the world knows, an imperfect
piece of sculpture, though it is the
greatest treasure of its kind the world
nas ever seen. A great reward would
be given the man who could find the
missing parts. About % years ago the
most important of them-the right
arm-came to light in London and was
proved by experts to be genuine. The
owner, however, refused to part with
it, and concealed it for fear it would
be stolen. Unfortunately, he died
without revealing its hiding place, so
it is as much lost as ever.
A bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple III
1879 and brought to Europe has mir
aculously disappeared. On it is en-
graved the whole history of the Phar-
aohs and it could easily be sold for
100000. IN fact, the French govern
ment offered a reward of $4,000 for
its discovery, but the famous cup Las
vanished, probably forever.
Another treasure which has van
ished in as strange way is the Mar
GELD vase of the Dresden collection.
This is the only piece missing from
the famous Dresden Marcella collec-
ton. the value of which is said to be
S75, 900. 1t bears the cross arrows and
the lions head. Not long ago he
vase was said to be in England, but
be that as it may, the person who re-
discovers this treasure may command
any price in reason for it.
How it is possible that treasure
so large as a painting could be lost
sight of entirely is not easily ex-
planned, but this has often happened.
One of Reynolds paintings, "The
Countess of Derby" which is consid-
cred his best portrait, has disappeared.
Not long after it was painted it dis
appeared from the collection of the
earl of Derby and has never been
heard of since, though 1t would bring
$4,000 to the finder. There are also
two Vandykes and Rembrandt miss
ing. for which collectors are willing
to pay 100000

CHEMICAL REsIsTANcEs.
Engineers Intent Upon Finding a
Substance Which VIII With
stand Intense Heat.

Hunt the slipper when the slipper
is heat proof material is the game
the engineers are playing. The ex-
treme temperatures necessary in mod
ern industries have developed a new
kind of engineering work in the selec-
ton Of materials that are adapted for
containing vessels and utensils by
their resistance to both heat and chem
zeal action. M. Auguste Morel, a
French engineer, finds carbon In the
form Of graphite to be especially val
liable, as It resists almost all temper
atures, but It unites chemically with
iron and cannot be used in work with
that material. Pure silica Is most use
full, though 1t softens In the oxyhy-
drogen fame and unites with alkalies.
More resistant still is alumina, which
fails only in the electric furnace, and
resists all such corrosive actions as
oxide of iron, to which silica yields.
Chalk, though subject to chemical ac-
ton, withstands heat wonderfully.
Magnesia, titanic acid and iron oxide
are other simple natural compounds,
but the electric furnace is producing
many complex manufactured materi-
ais, like carborundum, that are taking
their place for practical purposes. In
working with great heat the electric
furnace offers an enormous advan-
tage, as the intensest heating Is IN
ternal and substances can be acted
upon by temperatures that would de-
stroy the crucible walls If applied from
the outside.

TO THE AMATEUR NURSE.
Some Excellent Bits of Advice That
Well Might Be Followed by Pro-
fessionals as Well.

Never trouble a patient with ques-
lions. about food; the effort of making
a decision is a strain upon an invalid.
The aim should be to provide some
small surprise at meal times, If posi-
BILE, to stimulate the appetite.
1t is always unwise to allow a pa
tient to get into the habit of inquiring
what the clinical thermometer regis
tiers each time it IL used. A rise In
temperature may make a nervous per
son very uneasy and thereby increase
the fever considerably.
If possible, choose a room facing
south or southwest for a sick person.
provided it is quiet and away from
street noises. A northern aspect
should be avoided. Do not allow the
bed to face the light, as this is firing
to both brain and eyes.
The bed should not be too broad.
Three feet six inches is wide enough,
as it is then an easy matter to lift
and turn the patient from either side.
The floor of the sick room should
be wiped over every day with a ciotn
wrung out in water and some good
disinfectant.
A nurse should take special pains
to be scrupulously clean and neat In
her dress. Trifiing details which may
pass unnoticed in ordinary life loom
large on the patients limited horizon.
Remember, too, that unending tact
and patience must be exercised win
a sick person, for WEAKNESS and 2
ritability are the accomplishments y
illness, especially in the early stages
of convalescence.
When talking to a patient a nurse
should always stand or sit where the
former has not to strain the eyes In
order to see clearly, few things being
more irritating than to have to lie in
a twisted position with the head at an
uncomfortable angle, so as to follow
what is said.
In cases of long illness, the nurse
should spare herself as much as pos
sible, outstanding her strength not
only for the time when her powers
of endurance may be tried to the at
most, but for the period of con-
valescence, when, perhaps, her untir-
ing service is most in demand by the
invalid.
Rest is very important to the ANA
teur nurse, and four hours unbroken
sleep are worth much more TO her
than a whole night of disturbed
anxious slumber. 1t is much better to
divide the night into watches if there
is more than one member of the fam
lily available, than to try to be more
or less on the qui vive the whole night
through.
Nothing is more annoying to sick
person than to be discussed in hes
presence by one or more Of her anna
teur nurses, and questions as to when
the medicine was given, how much
stimulant was last administered, and
so on, should be settled out of earshot
of the invalid.-Brooklyn Eagle.

THE JERUSALEM ARTIcHoKE
Peculiar Qualities Of q Tuber That
Grows on the Roots Of the
Sunfower.

Most young folks in the country are
familiar with the sweet, crisp, juicy
tubers known as srtichokes. These.
says an article on Mature and Sci
ence," in st. Nicholas, grow on the
roots of the sunfiower known to bot
anists as Helianthus tuberosis, and
are commonly called Jerusalem arti-
chokes. Under this common name you
will find the tubers offered for sale in
most seed catalogues.
The plants are easily grown in al
most any kind of soil. At first glance
the tubers have somewhat the appear
ance of potatoes, but unlike them they
may be eaten raw like radishes, or
they may be picked or cooked. Re-
cipes are to be found in all cook
books.
These artichokes are entirely differ
ent (yet not far distant in botanical
way from the globe artichokes which
are grown In California, and perhaps
elsewhere exclusively for their edible
flower buds. These are never eaten
raw. Even when cooked they are
rather tasteless. Personally, / think
they are not to be compared, as an
acceptable vegetable, with the Jerusa-
lem artichoke, sometimes even now
found in old-fashioned gardens.
