The Home

Living rooms should be placed in
the best positions for sunshine and
dry air.
Sleeping rooms should always have
plenty Of sunshine.
A bathroom should have one win
dow at least.
Stairways and closets ought to
have a means of lighting and venti.
lating.
The furnishing of a house is de-
termined by fashion, looks and ex-
pense.
Dust is disagreeable, irritable and
helps breed disease.
; Small cracks and angles are diff
cult to clean.
Though windows are not primarily
for ventilation most houses are de
pendent on them for it.

Gold Found on French island.

Kerguelen, or the Island of Desola-
ton, may be the scene of the next
gold rush. Situated midway between
the Cape of Good Hope and Australia,
It is one of the dreariest and most for
bidding spots on the surface of the
globe But the captain of a brig, the
Carmen, who spent four months there
hunting sea elephants, has made
discovery which may lead to impor-
tant developments. He picked up a
pretty little nugget of gold among the
pebbles while walking on the shore.
The Carmen has arrived at Melbourne
with $50 tons of oil, the product of a
couple of thousand sea elephants shot
by the captain and his men. They also
report the discovery of valuable de-
posts of coal, which they declare to
be excellent fuel. Kerguelen belongs
to France by right of discovery.

RECIPE FOR BREAD
HINTS THAT MAY BE VALUABLE
TO YOUNG HoUSEkEEPERS.
Of Course Older Matrons All Have
; Their Own Way of Doing 1t, But
They May Find Something
New Here.

The following is a good recipe for
bread; sift eight cupfuls of -four into
a basin, add three teaspoonfuls of salt
and three teaspoonfuls of sugar. Mix a
yeast cake with one teaspoonful of
sugar and a cupful of tepid water,
and leave in warm place for few
minutes. 1t it does not rise, the yeast
is unfit to use.
Pour it into the center, stir into 1t
little of the flour, gradually add six
cupfuls of warm water about 100 de-
grees F.; if too hot, it will kill the
yeast, which is living vegetable sub
stance, and which must multiply in
the bread.
Mix thoroughly with a knife, cover
with a clean cloth, place in a moder-
ately warm place, about rs degreesF.;
out of draughts. Leave till the batter
is covered with bubbles.
Work in three or four cupfuls of
flour, cutting and beating it with a
knife, turn it out onto a Toured baking
board, knead it rapidly and firmly for
about Is minutes, adding two heaping
tablespoonful of lard during the
kneadlng.
Butter the basin, lay the dough in
it, brush it over with melted butter,
cover once more and allow to rise in
warm place until it has expanded to
about twice its original size.
Turn out onto the baking board,
knead for five minutes, and cut the
dough into three or four pieces. Make
into neat loaves, place into buttered
pans, allow to rise once more TO fill
the pans. Brush over with milk. Bake
in hot oven until ready.
To tell if the bread is cooked
through, knock it sharply under
meath; if it gives out hollow sound,
it is done. When baked, lay the
loaves on their sides to let the steam
escape. Do not put them in a very
cold place, or the steam will condense
and make the bread heavy.

Battle With Pittsbura Strikers.

Pittsburg.-Seventy-fve men, six of
whom will die, were wounded in

larry and the strikers of the Pressed

warning everyone to keep away from
the steel company's plant, under pen
atty of being shot. The battle was
precipitated when the mounted con-

Baked Bananas.

Pull down a section of skin from
each banana, loosen the pulp from
the skin, remove all coarse threads
that adhere to the pulp and return
the pulp to the skin in its original
position; lay the fruit thus prepared
in an agate pan and bake in hot
oven until the skins are blackened
and the pulp is softened
Remove pulp from the skin without
injury to shape, bend in a half cir
Gle and dispose in a serving dish;
sprinkle with powdered sugar and
fine chopped nuts and serve as a des-
sert dish; or pour over a Richelieu
or currant jelly sauce and serve as
an entree with broiled or roasted
meat.

IOWA MAN DRAWS FIRST NUMBER
AND SELECTS 8o-AcRE
TRACT.
ESQ NAMES ARE DRAWN
SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVEN
REGISTRATIONS APPEAR ON
THE BOOKS.

Denver-A Durango special to the
Republican Thursday night says: Ivan
Diggs of Des Moines, Ia, held the
lucky number at the land drawing at
Ignacio City today which gave him the
privilege of the first filing and with
out hesitation he chose so acres six
miles from the railroad, almost at the
extreme southern end of the 1,600-acre
tract being disposed of under the
Carey act. Diggs' number was 9S.
The second person entitled to file
was A. E. Kinsley of Liberal, Kan. He
had registered for 160 acres and Sc
lected piece near the railroad, and
not far from Ignacio City.
Ernest l.. Kitely was the third man
to have his name drawn from the box
There had been 707 registrations
and at 6 o'clock tonight, when the
drawings closed for the day, about $50
names had been drawn and of this
number less than 100 had filed upon
their land. The drawings cannot be
completed before late tomorrow and
possibly not until Saturday The
drawing did not commence until 1870
o'clock this afternoon.
A special train this morning from
Durango carried 200 homeseekers and
others who went out of curiosity.
Other conveyances and the regular
train carried as many more, so that
there were from 700 to 500 people on
the ground. Many of those present
held power of attorney for at least
half dozen others.
The feeling among the people today
was good, nearly all of the dissatis-
fled ones having left without waiting
for the drawing.
The drawing was conducted by
Messrs. Rich, Donovan and Bisbee of
the State Land Board and went off
smoothly. Numbers representing the
TOT registrations were placed in
box, shaken up and then taken out
one at a time. The holders of num-
bers were each given five minutes in
which to make their selections. In case
they did not wish to file, they were
passed and another number drawn.
feature of the drawing was the alb
sence of any attempt to dispose of
chances at profit, all of those who
drew today being satisfied with their
selections.
There are 400 pieces of land to be
disposed of and each person entitled
to file selects either 40, so, 12O or
! 100 acres, according to the amount of
money deposited at the time of regis
tration. The registration fee was $40
for each 40 acres, $40 of which is to go
to the government, at the rate of 20
cents an acre, and 81 an acre being
the first payment for water.
The next payment for water rights
will not be required until Jan. 1, 1911,
and the time to be given for the total
of S46.75 an acre for the land is five
years.
The Colorado Land & Water Com
pany, in charge of the drawing, is un-
der $37,500 bond to have the irrigating
system completed by April /, 1910. The
contract for the work has been let to
the firm of Henderson & Lotus, which
is under heavy bond, and work is ex-
pected to start within short time, so
that the main canal will be completed
by December l next.
