A NEW BIRD FOR COLORADO.

Denver Positive strange birds
arrived in Denver Saturday, having
iourneyed all the way from Sweden.
Now they are domiciled in inclosure
20, at the City park. If the plans Of
heir owner. w F. Kendrick, succeed,
they will be the progenitors of new
race of birds in the Colorado noun
tains.
They are the capercailzie, pro
L ,unced Caper-kel-zie, and are the
size Of a small turkey. In habit they
are much like grouse and ptarmlgan.
They thrive best at timber line, and
suusist on pine, spruce and hemlock
and mountain berries.
Mr.. Kendrick, who is tremendously
interested in birds and animals, has
had an ambition for some time to
start the breeding of these birds in
Colorado because of their rare beauty.
He has already bred and liberated
thousands of pheasants but the caper-
cailize were hard to get For months
he had had commission in Sweden
for two :.ariect birds. AS the result

Useful Household Suggestions

Through the kindness of Mrs. Henry
Onderdonk of Ringgold Manor, we
have a famous old recipe from Mount
Vernon for Rich Black Cake. Thi
recipe was an inheritance 10 Mrs.
Onderdonk from her great-grand-
mother, Mrs. Hazelhurst, Of Philadel-
phia, to whom it was given by Mrs.
Washington herself Mrs. Washing
ton and Mrs. Hazelhurst were de-
voted friends, and, after the death of
General and Mrs. Washington, Mrs.
Lawrence Lewis gave to Mrs. Hazel
hurst as a litJie menleuto of her
grandmother, a china sugarbowl which
had been used daily at Mount Vernon
by General and Mrs. Washington.
And not less precious to her is the
little recipe from Mount Vernon.
This recipe is said TO have beer used
at the wedding Of Mrs. Wasiiington's
granddaughter, Nellie GUSTS, to Major
Lawrence Lewis, at Mount Vernon on
February %, 1899. Here is the re
cipe:
To Make Rich Black Cake
lake twenty eggs, dlFiue tnS whites
from the yolks, and beat the whites
to froth; then work two pounds of
butter to cream, put the whites of
eggs to it, a spoonful at time, until
well mixed. Then put two pounds of
sugar, finely powdered, in it in the
same manner. Then add the yolks
of eggs, well beaten, two and one-half
pounds of flour, and five pounds of
fruit. Add to this one-fourth ounce
of mace, a nutmeg, one-half pint of
wine, and some French brandy. Five
and one-quarter hours will bake it.

To Make a Rich Black CAKE

Dreamed chicken is another recipe:
One pound cold chicken or turkey,
cut as for salad; two hard boiled eggs,
two ounces butter rubbed in two
tablesponfuls of -four. Cover the
chicken with milk, say, one pint,
and let it get hot. Stir in the butter
and flour, salt, red and black pep
per, and one glass of sherry. When
ready to serve stir in the eggs chopped
fine and serve at once, very hot.
The proper starching of clothes
adds much to their good appearance
when ironed. Starch which is not
properly cooked sticks to the irons
and makes brown marks on your
clothes, whatever you do. The best
plan is to mix common lump starch
with a small quantity of cold water
until it arrives at creamy consist
ency, and is thoroughly softened and
smooth Then pour on boiling water
until it is sufficiently thicened, and
if little oil or wax is added the
clothes win iron easily, for it prevents
sticking Some housekeepers use
kerosene. The proportions for cooked
starch are one part of starch to eight
of boiling water, if much stiffness is
required, and for thin starch, one
part to sixteen. After the starch is
cooked, rub it thoroughly into the
garment.
No matter how perfect the starch
is your irons must be in good condi-
ton. Once in a while rub them with
sweet oil and let them stand a few
days to allow the grease to strike in.
Afterward wash them in soapsuds.

ALMOST HAS SECRET
OF BIRDS FLIGHT
AeriaIiSt Looks for Quick
Developments.

NEW YORK, July 0-(SpeciaD-
To fly as the birds fly is one of the
problems which Henri Farman, the
French aeropIanist, hopes to solve
during the experiments he will make
preparatory to his exhibitions at
Brighton Beach.

ourselves as the birds do he said to-
day A flying bird RECEIVERS his bal

since we learned the secret of avia-
ton in connection with our aeroplanes

worked at it. So have I. For years
past l have been trying. to develop an
attachment to the rudder which will

They'll come in a night, as It
were, quick, once they start They
can be manufactured quickly and
safely. and we'll have air races faster

ANARCHY NOT
POPULAR IN ARMY
Locked Up for Preaching
Doctrine.

Washington, d. c., July 30.-(Spe-
ciaD-Carl Rutkin, formerly of the
Russian army, and now a private in
Company H. of the Engineer Corps,
preached anarchism industriOusly
among the Cars discontended sold
iery and was applauded He tried it
among his American comrades in
arms. and wasn't. He is in the Dis
trict Jail for thirty days now for
preaching anarchy at religious meet
ing. He could get out by paying a
so fine, but he prefers to stay be-
hind the bars, for his fellows have
promised him a warm reception when
he returns to the barracks.
Rutkin, who has been the Engineer
Corps six months, has preached his
doctrines to the other soldiers when
ever he could find an audience He
urged upon them the necessity of
leading the common people in the
overthrow of the Government and
the equal distribution of wealth.
The complacency with which his in
cendiary sentiments were accepted
misled Rutkin. He believed he was
making converts, as he had done in
the service in Russia. So when, with
night upon crowd listening to a
Salvation Army exhortation, he pushed
his way to the front, and asked per-
mission to be heard The evangelist,
believing him to be a convert, con-
sented
Rutkin promptly launched into a
violent attack on the Government, and
existing social conditions. His COM
rades were about to remove him sum-
marily, when policeman arrested
him. Today he was fined for disturb
ing a licensed religious meeting.
As he was being led away to the
jail, members of his company angrily
assured him they would await his
return to them with Impotence.
