DRYING CORN AND BEANS.

The old way was to boil, then
shred the corn from the cob and dry.
Try this way, which reader recon-
mends: If possible, have your corn
ready the night before, or have some
one to husk and silk while you pre-
husked and the silks drawn off, cut
the grains down; do not cut too close
to the cob, and scrape the rest; have
hot oven ready, put the corn in
bread pans and let it cook until, when
stirred with spoon, no milk will
show. Keep we'll stirred while cook
ing so it will not burn. Have a
stretcher ready, and scatter your
corn on 1t. Now, while this has been
cooking, you can prepare another
painful and slip it into the oven as
soon as the first painful is out. In
this way one can dry all the corn an
ordinar.' family will use. BY this
process, the milk is cooked to the
corn and does not dry up in little
particles.
To r'-'-~ q stretcher, take any long
strip of cloth, and tack the cloth
along the edges on either side to
boards or strips of lumber and nail
a piece across the en6s-something
like quilting frame. Stretch the
cloth as tight as possible without
tearing it. A 100-pound weight -four
sack makes a convenient size for
handling.-The Commoner.

Brouuht Back Alive,

Representative Victor Murdock, of
the Wichita district, Is telling this
one as the latest new story in Kan
sas, says the Washington Herald"
A farmer hired a green Irishman.
One of the first tasks assigned the
new hired hand was to bring into the
COW lot, dead or alive, a refractory
bull that had broken into the corn
field. The Irishman was given a shot
gun and told to shoot the bull IL the
animal showed fight Jauntily he
went about his task. The farmer
stood at a safe distance to watch de-
velopments. AS soon as the bull saw
the Irishman enter the cornfield, he
bolted at him, believing madly. The
Irishman blazed away with the shot
gun and emptied the load In the
beasts breast. On rushed the bull.

took to his heels with the bull after
him.

cold weather, deep snow and violent
storms, which rendered communica'

almost impossible. Many Of the set
Elements were ON the extreme from
tier, and absolutely unprotected and
defenseless. 1t was during this win
ter that the Sioux attacked and de-
stroyed the family of Mr.. Rowland
Gardner. They killed all except a
young daughter, Abbie, who was TAX
en- into captivity. but was rescued
through the efforts of the United
States Government. In "The Spirit
Lake Massacre" she tells something
of her captivity:
Whenever the Indians thought to
torture me by threatening to take my
life l would merely bow my head.
My fearless acquiescence and willing
ness to die seemed to fill them all
with wonder. They thought 1t sign
of bravery.
Soon after my capture one Of the
warriors, who was sitting by me one
day in the tent, thinking to test my
courage or to be amused at my fears,
took his revolver from his belt and
began loading it, while he gave me
to understand that he would kill me
as soon as it was loaded. l merely
bowed my head to signify that I was
ready.
when the revolver was all loaded
he drew back the hammer and held
the weapon close to my head. l
quietly bowed my head, expecting he
would do as he said, but instead of
that he lowered the weapon, and
looked at me as If astonished, and
then laughed uproariously. So
amused was he that he told his COM
panions of it, and it was a favorite
subject of conversation.
"These Indians were at loss to
know what to do with much of the
plunder they had taken. Among the
spoils were quantities of soda and
cream of tartar. They interrogated
me as to their use, and when l told
them we used 1t in making bread they
wished me to make some. They
seemed greatly surprised and pleased
when they saw the bread grow" dur
ing the process of baking. Although
pleased with the growing" they
were too suspicious of being poisoned
to eat any until had eaten. Then
they devoured it greedily."

INFLUENCE OF ODORs.

The influence of odors upon the
spirits cannot be overestimated. An
excellent and invigorating perfume
to be used in the house is made from
sea salt and violet. Put some sea
salt in wide-mouthed bottle and
pour in few drops of violet perfume.
Close the bottle tight and let it stand
while; then open, and you get the
smell of the sea salt with a slight
tinge of violet. This is excellent to
use in the bath. Another perfume is
made by adding grain of musk, a
little essence of violet, and tea
spoonful of alcohol to the sea salt.
Let stand three days before using.
A handful of this in the bath will give
forth a sweet scent.

MAD RUN WITH WILDCAT.

With a struggling wildcat held
tightly to his breast, John Sieh, a
farmer near Lake City, Iowa, ran
four miles for aid. The animal had
leaped at the farmers throat as he
was hunting quail in a plum thicket.
The heavy collar of his coat saved
Sieh. The farmer threw his arms
about the animal as its claws lacer-
ated his flesh and tore his clothing.
Then ensued a fight for life between
the hunter and the wildcat. The
struggle required all of Sieh's
strength. He was four miles from
home, and when he obtained a griI
on the animal he started to run home
Two neighbors killed the wildcat

Sieh collapsed when freed from his
dilemma.-New York Herald.

GIRL. BEAR AND PRISON.

Sadie McMackin, the fifteen-year-
the New Bergen district, had terri
flying experience on recent night,
writes the Cross Fork (Pa.) corre-
spondent of the Philadelphia Record.
She had gone alone, at 4.30 o'clock
in the afternoon, to fetch the cows
from a natural pasture in a sugar
maple grove, nearly mile from the
house. Among the eight cows that
constituted the drove were two black
heifers, both undersize. The girl
caught the sound of the bell on the
wether cow, and started on short
cut across the corner of deep woods
that ran for miles beyond the maple
grove.
When in the thick of the timber
she spied what she at first supposed
to be one of the understood black
heifers browsing among the bushes.
An instant, later, however, when she
was barely only rod away, the ami
NAL Strengthened up and the girl
found herself face to face with mon
ster black bear
The bear, himself affrighted by the
sudden appearance of the girl, raised
on his launches and began chattering
his teeth-a defiant attitude assumed
by the animals when cornered.
Miss McMackin believed the bear
was about to attack her, and turned
to run. She was within sight of a
dug-out shanty used for the storing
of the camp kettle and other sugar.
making accoutrements, having upon
it heavy door fastened by a large
wooden latch. The girl ran for ref
uge to this caYe-like apartment,
snatched the door open and popped
inside, jerking the door shut behind
her.
The bear by this time doubtless
was scampering away, for when the
girl peered out through knothole in
the door bruin was nowhere to be
seen. She then made the discovery
that she was a prisoner in the stuffy
little cave, for the heavy wooden
latch on the outside has fallen into
place and held the door firm.
There was no way Of reaching the
latch on the inside. 1t was as dark
as dungeon, and her stirring about
had disturbed colony of bats, whose
ugly forms, in their short-circuit
fight, bumped against her head and
hands and face She shouted, but
/. her voice could not penetrate the
heavy door of the cave, and for near
iy four hours she was a prisoner in
the cave. At the end of that time
searching party came close enough
to the cave for Sadie to make herself
heard and she was released. The
girl, however, was in state of fright
bordering on hysteria, owing to the
fiight of the bats and fear Of reptiles
an the cave.
