There is just one city in this coun-
try where new guests in the two lead
ing hotels drink water just for the
fun of 1t. That is Terre Haute, Ind,
says the New York Sun.
1t is the joy of the life of the in
itiated to invite an unsuspecting visitor
to the hotel to eat There is always an
expectant look on the face of the host
as the guest settles himself, and the
host who does not get his looked-for
laugh is rare.
AS the guest settles himself sudden
ly there descends by his ear down to-
ward the table like shot a stream of
water. Eost people jump. according to
their jumping abilities.
The stream always safely hits the
drinking glass, and as the guest rallies
and looks up for the source of the
stream there is a grlnning colored gen.
tleman holding high something like a
small tea kettle with a pretty long
spout. The higher the guest jumps the
more gratified this person looks.
Almost everybody will drink two
glasses of water and signal for a third
just to be sure the knight of the tea
kettle can hit that glass. Where the
custom originated nobody seems to
know, but Terre Haute always refers
to it with something like pride
For the colored gentleman who is
the smartest one of the bunch at the
trick three feet is nothing to fire a
stream from the water can" as It is
styled. He will juggle it first close
then further away, and gradually fur
Their and then down again without
splitting a drop. Doctors don't have to
advise water drinking to people in
those hotels.

A YOUNG LION SLAYER.
Boer Farmer Boys Good Shots on the
African Veldt.

Three lions were killed near Peters
burg, Transvaal, the other day by the
19-year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a
Boer farmer.
1t appears that young Erasmus was
on his way to the Messina mine and had
outspanned his donkey team when his
Kafiir boy came running to tell him that
three lions were tackling the donkeys.
Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard in
the direction indicated. On his arrival
at the spot he found the lions lying
around one of the donkeys. He fired
and killed big lioness.
The other two jumped up but he was
ready and shot another (younger) lion
ess. The young lion which was left ran
behind some brushwood Erasmus first
collected his donkeys and brought them
into safety and then once more carefully
approached the scene of the fight
In order to find out if the two lioness-
es were dead he fired another shot at
ione of them. This disturbed the surviV-
ing lion, who thereupon came forth roar
ing. Erasmus was again ready and shot
him dead On the spot. Asked by the
iVolksstem correspondent whether he
was alone at the time, Erasmus replied:
l"Oh, no. Oom,' had my little hafiir
boy, with me-" The skins were sold in
Petersburg. Volksstem.

short Suggestions.

Cream twenty-four hours old and
very cold always whips best.
The back porch should not be over
looked. Make it as pleasant as you
can for those who work around the
kitchen.
The pulverized washing powders last
much longer if used from a talcum
powder shaker. A baking powder can
with holes punched through the lid
may be utilized for the purpose.
To wash bottles or vinegar cruets
save eggshells in a paper bag; crush
them fine, put in eruets with warm
soapy water and shake well. This will
clean them and not scratch the finest
glass.
Put the juice of an onion into
pan; add two ounces of fuller's earth
and one half pint of vinegar. Cook
slowly for five minutes; strain and
cool. Use little on a clean white rag
to remove scorch stains.
1t is mistake TO lay scrubbing
brushes with the bristle side upward.
They should always be put with the
bristles down, otherwise the water will
soak into the wooden part and the
bristles very soon become loose.
Buy strip of asbestos cloth and
use small squares to interline your
ironholders. Keep a good-sized piece
fastened TO your ironing board to save
the sheet and lay a square under the
table pad where the meat platter rests.

THE MOST DANGEROUS DEBT.
By Henry f. Cope.

lowe no man anything, but to love
one another. Romans, Is g.
Many a man who prides himself on
paying his way and on being out of
debt would be in absolute bankruptcy
If compelled to square his accounts
with life. He may have paid for all
the goods he has bought, but he has
failed to make any adequate return for
the good that has come freely to him.
Life Is much the business of paying
to the present those debts which we
owe to the past, of putting into the
universe and back into our humanity
at least a part of that which we have
drawn for our own enrlching from
these resources. Love is life's great
law, because love is the principle of
self-giving in action.
we are all debtors one to another.
No man can avoid the indebtedness for
the sacrifices which men have made be-
fore him, which alone make possible
his present advantages. You may boast
that you owe no man anything, but
what of your fathers toll for you
your mothers devotion? What of the
price paid by the founders of our ma
ton for the civil liberty which you en-

feet in length, less than one third the
length of those on French flyers. This
consists in different models of one or
two vertical cloth-covered frames.
"At the rear, balancing the machine
and as near the center as possible, are
two propellers. Below the frame work
and toward the rear is a skid, similar
to the runners of sleds. This is used
for landing and differs in this par
ticular from the French machines,
which are equipped with wheels. For
a portion of twelve feet at each end
the upper and lower frame work is
provided with a surface of strong cot
ton cloth.
''In the center of the machine at the
bottom is a small double-wheeI truck,
which, running on a monorail, is used
while the machine is acquiring speed

monorail is easily movable In any di-
rection.
'The Wright machine weighs about
800 pounds, and in addition to its own
weight, including a four-cylinder mo-
tor of between twenty-five and thirty
horsepower, devised and made by the
Wright brothers, the machine can carry
two men and fuel enough to drive the
machine 300 miles, 1t can carry
enough fuel with one man aboard to
travel 500 miles"

How to Keep Eggs.

l have used the following recipe for
putting up eggs for winter use for
many years with perfect success: To
one pint of salt and one pint of fresh
lime add four gallons of boiling water.
When cold put in wide-mouthed stone
jars. With dish let your fresh eggs
into the jars, tipping the dish after it
fills with the fluid so the eggs will
roll out without cracking the shells.
Keep covered in cool place and they
will stay fresh for a year.-Planchette.

but we do not discharge our debts to
him by the erection of monuments or
the writing of poems In his honor.
He who talks of himself as self
made thereby gives evidences Of the
incompleteness of the process of his
making, his powers of self-understand-
ing are undeveloped. A thousand lives
go into the making of the least life.
None can live to himself nor by his own
resources. 1t is good to cultivate the
spirit of independence, but the fact of
indebtedness none can escape.
What self-respecting man would be
content to eat at another's table, to be
clothed at another's expense, and make
no sort of recompense? Yet in what
manner does such a course differ from
ours II we live day by day with no
other thought than to get more and yet
more out of life for ourselves. Human
ity is our host. Even the bread we
eat and the clothes we wear we never
could gain for ourselves unaided; the
efforts of all mankind have been nee

Even for our food, our clothes, not to
mention other and greater benefits, we
never can pay with money. We may
earn the loaf, but who shall pay the
sower of long ago. the miller, the me-
chanic, the thinker, the pioneer who
gave their lives to make our wheat
fields and turn them into bread?
Sheer business honesty with life will
force us to ask, How can | pay these
debtors? What return can | make for
all that / have received? The answer
is simple, that we should do for hui
mainly what humanity is doing for us,
that since we are recipients we should
be givers, that we should be led by
that law of love that already has
wrought for our blessing.
If to lives of long ago we owe faith
and freedom what good things are our
lives passing on to those who follow
us? If through the service of our fell
lows we are enriched to-day to what
extent are they enriched through our
service? We have received; have we
given?
There Is no gain to the life that is
all getting. 1t loses itself. Such a
life is parasite, an abnormality and
deformity In a world where giving is
the law of living. No other life is
quite so empty as that which thinks
only of filling itself and never of en-
riehing others.
One can lay aside all sentiment here
and see a plain business proposition.
We are debtors to our fellows, we owe
those of the past and those of the pres
ent; what are we but defaulters If
knowing these things, we continue
evading the payment of our debts. con
tinue with greed seeking only to get
and never to give?
Such course is the saddest kind OF
suicide. Yielding to self-love the man

The Everlasting Rock.
o, God, the rock of ages,
Who eYermore hast been,
What time the tempest RACES,
Our dwelling place serene.
Before thy first creations,
O Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations
The everlasting thou!
Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die;
A sleep, a dream, a story
BY strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
OF things that soon are old.
o thou, who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach US Alright to number
Our years before they fail;
On us thy mercy tighten,
On us thy goodness rest,
And let thy Spirit brighten
The hearts myself hast blessed.
Lord, crown our faiths endeayor
With beauty and with grace,
Till. clothed in light forever,
We see thee face to face;
And JOY no language measures,
A fountain brimming DER,
An endless flow of pleasures,
An ocean without shore.

Two gallant heroes, Wolfe and Montcalm, fell in that sharp and desperate battle; but far more mo- mentous were the consequences to the two great powers they respec- lively represented.
