Braislng.

This Is particularly good way to
treat dry meats like veal, lean beef
from the under part of the round OF
the face of the rump, the shoulder
Of mutton, heart, liver, tough fowls,
pigeons, or other dry game. The
method Of braising is like the old
time pot roast, only the braising is far
easier in that the water In which 1t is
cooked does not need replenishlng,
and there is much less danger of the
kettle burning dry. In each case the
meat is rolled in flour, seasoned with
salt, pepper and Just a busting Of
sugar to assist in the quick browning.
Then It is Drowned in the bottom Of
q kettle or frying pan, using some Of
its own fat, drippings or butter, as
preferred. After this browning pro-
cess It Is put into a stew pan or
braising kettle, covered with well
favored soup stock, gravy, or even
hot water, with herbs and seasonings,
then covered tightly and left to sim
mer gently for several hours.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

Down here in Cactus Center we have had hot debate On reformin' of our money so enough will circulate. It was started by Bear Hawkins, who ai- lowed twas his belief That brass checks that called for hkkex would bring quick and sure relief. Old Lone Star Thomas argued from the gold and silver side. And the talk got kinder heated, till the barkeep runs to hide; Then the lead begins to scatter, and ws sidestepped strayin' shot. While the ablebodied clipped in jest ts keep the trouble hot So we argued for some minutes, and ws laid out Chinese John Some one said pro" had done 1t. and still others said a ''con.'O, But we seed 1t warn't settled and . gun play was no use.

Christmas on Christmas Island.

They never have any "white" Christ masses on Christmas island. The ther- mometer never falls below 70 and nev- CT rises above 90 in the shade.
 Christmas island lies about 250 miles southeast of the western extremity of Java. It is in the Indian ocean and belongs to Great Britain, having been annexed in 1888. This interesting lit- tie bit of land in midsea appears to have been originally coral reef. which by volcanic forces has been raised so high that at its highest point it sticks out of the water 1900 feet. In shape 1t is an irregular quadrilateral. It has an area of about twenty square miles. The British have formed a settlement on the island for the development of the phosphate beds, which are said to be rich. This material is used for fer tilizer.
 A globe trotter who spent last Christ mas very appropriately on Christmas island says: Christmas morning I bathed in the sea. Christmas after noon. dressed in white flannel. I played tennis. It is always summer there. A pure, cool breeze always blows from the southeast. In January the fresh fruits and flowers and vegetables are ss plentiful as during July or August in the United States. Christmas island Is a little paradise nine miles wide and about ten miles long"

Camera Made sas RsIisfs.

Carlos Baese, an Italian civil engi- neer. has originated a method by which
 bas-reliefs of the face may be obtain ed through the camera which look as though they were photographs of sculp- lures. The basic idea behind the pho tosculpture Is that fact well known to photographers that a plate of gelatin. sensitiZed with bichromate. will swell in water and that it loses this property
 in proportion to the amount Of light which Is permitted to strike it. SinoT Bsese therefore projects the photo graph upon such a film through two other plates. which are necessary tO secure the proper illumination Of the face First he throws a powerful light upon the salient parts Of the face and pr0cures negative Then hs casts tbe light upon the remoter parts cf ths

USE OF CHEESE.

A pound of cheese is equal in food value to two pounds of beef and is generally cheaper.
 A slight grating of cheese improves almost any dish such as poached eggs, roast potatoes, mashed potatoes and cream toast.
 The difficulty of digesting cheese is lessened if 1t is cooked or served bro ken up or grated. A small pinch of bi- carbonate of soda is sometimes added to assist digestion.
 For a tomato and cheese salad, which is quickly prepared, cut the tomatoes in thick slices; sprinkle each slice with a little freshly minced Bermuda onion and the same amount of grated cheese. Serve with French or mayonnaise dressing.

WHEN OREGON HAD CAMELS.
In Days of Old, When the State Had
 a Tropical Climate.

Tropical Climate.
 That the whole of interior Oregon was once the bed of the Pacific ocean has been proved beyond question by the investigations of Professor Thom- as Condon, Dr. Diller and other noted geologists. That the region was later a tropical country has been equally we'll established.
 Numerous discoveries of the bones of animals and rocks containing the perfect imprint of the plants of the tropics have been made, and it is no longer an occasion for surprise when we'll diggers or irrigation excavators unearth the fossil remains of a camel or a broad faced OK.
 Within recent years many fossil beds of beautiful palm leaves have been found in eastern Oregon.
 The Cascade hills. Blue mountains and Owyhees, once islands surrounded by tropical lakes, were covered with luxurisnt growth, forests and flower ing shrubs. for KnowltOn tells US the magnolia and cinnamon and fig trees were there.
 Today the soil presents a finely ground mixture of basalt and volcanic ash. containing the elements of most fertile soil, and when properly water ed producing enormous crops of vege- tables, fruits and grains common to temperate zones.
 The climate has been changed. says Professor Condon. by the upfolding Of the Cascade range, shutting of from the interior the softening influence of the Japan current and the drift of ocean fogs and clouds.-Sunset Maga- zinc

ALBERT PAYsoN TERHUNE.
Author of New Serial "Caleb Conover
Railroader."

Thirteen wears ago big athletic young
American landed on the coast of Syria.
He was barely twenty-one, just graduated
from Columbia University, and had no
practical literary experience. OF journal
ism he knew nothing Che being more ac-
custnnrd to foot ball and boxing than
writing). yet he was bound on perllous
mission that called for the keenest journal

bert Payson Terhune-had run across vet
cran newspaper writer bound for the Holy
Land to investigate certain of the more
dangerous leper settlements. study the
home life of the savage Bedodin tribes and
perform similar risky feats. Mr.. Ter
hume resolved TO go along for the sheer
sport of the adventure.
ON the Journey the veteran fell ill-far too
I'll to continue the trip. The articles to
be written had been ordered. paid for and
a contract signed. The journalist was in
despair. Then it was that young Terhune
stepped into the breach.

went ahead and accomplished IT. He pene-

among the Bedouins of the Kanah and
other desert tribes, joining in their daily
life their sports and fights One Arab

native pashaS who ordinarily looked upon
foreigners as dogs unfit to be spoken to-;
secretly visiting shrines wherein 1t was
death for an "unbeliever' to set foot, and
la other foolhardy ways calmly risking his
life. Mr.. Terhune continued his Syrian tour
until he had gathered full notes for every
article his friend had contracted to write.
Then he rode back to civilization, turned
over the notes to the grateful conyalescent
and proceeded on his own account to write
which was published in 1895 under the title
OF Syria from the Saddle"
This volumes success and the taste he
had acquired for descriptive writing led
young Terhune to take up newspaper work
S a profession. But in the course of 1t
he found time to exercise frequently his
skill for fiction writing, and within very
few years became known as a virile writer
