BETTER THAN REAL FLOWERS.
Artificial Bouquets Are Worn with the
Evening Costume.

AS every woman knows, it is rathel
Injurious to fine fabrics to pin heavy
lunches of real flowers on them. They
also fade before the evening is over
and are apt to be discarded.
The present fashion is to wear a
large bunch of French blossoms, Won
derfully colored and fashioned. There
is no attempt to avoid daring and
vivid combinations. This is a feature
of this seasons dressing.
Scarlet poppies as well as American
Beauty roses are favored. Gardenias,
with their glossy green leaves, are
worn on black, purple and crimson
frocks. Combinations of flowers are
not in as good taste as thoy were
some seasons ago. The bunch is Of
one kind. 1t is pinned little below
the bust at the left side. This seems
to be the exact spot accepted as the
fashionable one.
Among the rare flowers which are
put on extra handsome gowns are
lilies of yellow satin with green
leaves.

Bacon and Calls Liver.

Both bacon and liver should be in
thin slices. Fry the bacon and re-
to hot dish before the fire; flour and
pepper the liver and place it in the
pan; turn frequently until done, then
place a slice of bacon on each slice
of liver.
Make gravy by pouring off the fat
and dredging little flour into the
pan; pour in enough water to supply
the quantity of gravy desired, add a
tablespoonful of lemon juice, boil and
pour upon the dish. Garnish with
slices of lemon. Time, about ten min
utes.

BAD EFFECTS OF ANGER.
Complexion Suffers Where There |,
Lack of Self-Control.

The girl who has very quick tenn
per must expect to have trouble with
her complexion. Sometimes red spots
come out prominently and refuse to be
hidden even by powder. Sometimes
there is flush, and when it disap-
pears the skin is quite dry and feels
almost painful
The cause of all this is the excite
ment of getting angry. Very little can
be done for the skin while the temper
remains unchecked. Perhaps it would
be a good idea for the girl who is wor-
ried about her poor complexion to ex-
anime herself to find out if a hasty
temper is the cause of the mischief.
Should this be so, let her set about
gaining selfcontrol before she at.
tempts to improve her looks by the ap-
plication of creams and lotions.

An Edalnu Plant.

The appearance of pots that contain
foliage plants can be much improved
if some Of the Lycopods or Selagfnel-
las are planted around the edge of the
pot. These are often called club
MOSES and are very decorative when
planted thickly.
The one most often used is Selag
fnella Kraussiana and its close mossy
surface is pretty in low fern dishes on
the table as well as for a plant edging.
The selaginellas are treated as are
ferns and must have partial shade and
not be allowed to dry out. They dol
best in light porous soil with plenty
of sand.

Checks for Trimming.

Many of the newest fall dresses are
showing a touch Of trimming or piping
of checked material. For instance, a
black suit is beautiful trimmed with
tiny piping of black and white
checked serge. A dress of plain ma
terial-serge or panama-is very
modish trimmed with bands of checked
taffeta. What difference a new
touch like this makes! Even In an
old-fashioned dress quite a new ef-
feet may be obtained by Just a little
modern trimming, which lightens up
the whole and at once shows the
wearer is up-todate.

To Obtain Gloss on Pie Crust.

Many a housewife wishes to learn
new wrinkle about getting the rich
brown gloss that she has seen on
pastry made by professional cooks.
The recipe is simple. An egg is well
beaten up with a tiny bit of sugar.
Add small quantity of milk, beat
well together and with small pastry
brush go over the pie after it Is ready
to be placed in the oven. Another way
and very simple one to gloss the
crust is to rub it over with cold water
before baking.

Shading in Embroidery.

When shading in embroidery one
cannot be too careful in doing the
work.
The colors should be run into each
other gradually. so the changes will
hardly be noticed. AS the shades Of
silk are numbered, you should not find
the work difficult.
Do not use the very deep tones ex-

urely in the shadow.

pleasant flavor to the fat and then
serve it up, an unsightly, indigestible
and unsavory morsel.
OF course, chop should be grilled,
but in many households the necessary
clear fire is not always obtainable.
1t takes some time to prepare fire
for grilling. When the surface is
red glow all over, without any flame
or smoke, then the fire is ready for a
grill.
The chops should at least be an inch
thick, neatly trimmed. The gridiron
must be held over the fire for an in
stant to warm; then wiped thoroughly
with clean cloth; then rubbed on
both sides with piece of suet, and it
is ready for the chop.
This may be allowed TO cook on one
side for minute or two. 1t is then
turned, with a pair of cooking tongs
for choice If fork is used insert it
in the fat, and not in the lean. Turn
the chop every minute, and it will be
done in from ten minutes to a quarter
of an hour. The principle involved is
this:
The fierce heat of the fire dries the
outer fiber of the meat and forms
sort of thin crust or casing. This re-
tains all the juices of the meat. which
would escape and be lost were it
pierced with the fork.
Where there is no time to prepare
proper grilling fire, chop can be
cooked in front Of a fire, though it
loses that flavor OF the fire." which is
SO delicious yet so difficult to describe.

Trimming for Cashmere.

A charming trimming for cashmere
or henrietta dinner frocks is messaline
satin in self-tone, with matching sash,
and tucker and half-sleeves of gold
lace or fine net. Ecru nets embroidered
in colors harmonious with the cash
mere and a novelty trimming or pas
sementerie to outline the tucker will
give a smart touch to the costume.

A novelty in millinery is flowers
made of beads. These, however, are
not likely to become either popular or

The Seat on the Horse.

Why does a man seated near the
neck of horse travel faster than one
seated near his taii7 For has been
proved in very Striking fashion that
he does. But why? The reason is
really very simple, and yet when little
Tod Sloane, the Jockey, came forward
with practical proof nobody seemed to
be able to explain it. A horse to move
forward at all must thrust at the earth,
and the chief force Of this forward
thrust comes from his lind legs. If
the chief weight is just over or close
to the thrusting power, naturally it d.
minishes its efficiency; instead Of
thrusting the horse forward portion
Of it is wasted In lifting the weight Of
the Jockey at every stride. - 1trand

had brought with them and which
proved good drink on a Kansas
prairie. and a buffalo hunter was q
good man to get away with it.
While taking a short rest we sud

coming toward US. 1t was only 4

pared to give the animals lively re-
ception. They proved to be herd Of

are quicker IN their movements than
the bulls. We charged in among
them. and I concluded my run with a
score Of eighteen, while Comstock
killed fourteen. The score was now
fifty six to thirty-seven in my favor.
Again the excursion party approach

tapped. After we had eaten a lunch
which was spread for US we resumed
the hunt. Striking out for distance
Of three miles, we came up close to
another herd. AS l was so far ahead

the ladies that would on the next run
ride my horse without any saddle or

not to do it.

So leaving my saddle and bride with
the wagons we rode to the windward
of the buffaloes, as usual, and when
within few hundred yards Of them
we dashed into the herd. 1 soon had
thirteen laid out on the ground, the
last one Of which I had driven down
close to the wagons, where the ladies
were. 1t frightened some Of the tender
crea lures to see q buffalo coming
at full speed directly toward them,
but when he had got within fifty yards
of one Of the wagons l had shot him
dead in his tracks. This made my
sixty-ninth buffalo and finished my
third and last run, Comstock having
killed forty-six.
As it was now late in the afternoon,
Comstock and his hackers gave up the
idea that he could beat me, and there

Ing the construction Of the Kansas Pa
citic railroad, now the Union Pacific, in
1867 the construction of the end of the
track got into the great buffalo coun
try, and at that time the Indians-thc
Sioux, Cheyennes, Comanches and Arap-
ahoeS-were all on the warpath. 1t
was before the refrigerator car was in
use, and the contractors had no fresh
meat to feed their employees. The
fresh meat, for they could see fresh
meat-that is, the buffalo, deer and an
telope-in every direction, and they
would growl because the contractors
did not kill the buffaloes SO that they
could have fresh meat to eat. This
was a little more difficult job than
they thought as the Indians were con-
testing every mile Of railroad that was
being built into their country. Besides
graders, every man from the boss
down who went to work On the grad
Ing of the road carried a rife with him
as well as pick and shovel, and when
he was using them his gun lay on the
ground near him, as the Indians would
daily attack them.
The construction of that road in
1867 was nearly a continuous fight,
and it was dangerous for man to
venture any distance away from the
troops and the graders to hunt the
buffalo. They tried several hunters
who claimed that they could kill buf-
they could have fresh meat for their
men. One or two Of these men were
killed by Indians while doing so, and
the others gave up the job.
At that time / was guide and scout

reputation as buffalo hunter. Some
one told the main contractor that If he
could get me would be able to kill all
the buffaloes he would require. He
came to Fort Hays to see me. OF
course I could not accept, although he
made me a very tempting financial
offer, without permission of the mill
tary department commander, General
Sheridan.
The subject was even discussed at
headquarters in Washington, and after
considerable delay evidence was pre-
sented that it would solve one of the
main labor problems in the great work
of constructing the great transconti-
uental railroad and facilitate matters
greatly. Leave Of absence for the
purpose was given me with the un-

MO. snurred by the knowledge that the soldiers OF
other nations were to take part IN the rehef eH-
nedition and he wished the men of his own coun-
trv to show themselves worthy in the sight of the
men of other countries.
They did show themselves worthy, and they re-
sponded to the call of their commander with an
alacrty that made the American leaders instead
of followers in that march beset with difficulties
and dangers almost unparalleled in modern war
fare.
There are men in the army to-day who firmly
believe that Gen. Chaffee did not sleep an hour
during the march to Peking. The soldiers who
made the march declare that the nights in China
are black that it is impossible to see anything at
all without the aid of artificial light and these in
the bvouacs of the soldiers were forbidden for
precautionary reasons. There was no definite
knowledge of the forces that might be in the path
of the expedition, and no one Knew what surprises
the night might cover. Gen. Chaffee, his soldiers
say constituted himself sentinel who refused to
be relieved from guard, and through the nights he
was alert and watching, and through the days he
alert and marching.
There are stories by the scores of men who are
supposed to bear charmed lives. The hero of the
book of fiction sheds bullets as slate roof sheds
rain and in the reading of it finds it hard to
believe that any truth could be stranger than this
fiction. If Gen. Chaffee doesn't bear charmed
life he has the largest allowance of luck that has
fallen to any one man.
Gen. Chaffee has been four times brevetted for
bravery. Two of the brevet commissions came to
him for gaantry in the civil service, and two
for gaantry in battles with the Indians. He
led cavalry charge rough and precipitous
bluffs where cavalry charge was thought to be
feat wenigh impossible.
He rode at the head of his straight into a
body of armed Indians, scattering them but not
until they had poured volley after volley into Chat
fees oncomng command. That charge gave the
soldier his brevet commission as lieutenant
colonel.
When the SpanishAmerican war broke out
Chafee made a brigadier general of volun
teers He was in the very thick of the fighting
in front of Santiago. Capt Arthur Lee British
army officer detailed by his government to watch
the field operations in Cuba, attached himself to
the headquarters of Gen. Chaffee Capt Lee wrote
a story about the campaign in which he paid to
Gen. Chanee the highest tribute that it ia possible
for one soldier to pay to another
