SURETY BONDS
IMPAIRED?

All the bonding companies are
vada as the result OF a law enacted
by the last legislature which requir-
es that the companies shall deposit
with the state treasurer, sum equa.
to five percent OF any amount for
which they are liable under the
bonds issued by them. Thus. if a
bonding company issues a Lond tc
guarantee the payment Of freight
charges in the sum of $4,000, II
would receive premium OF one
half of one per cent or $40, but 1t
would be required under the new law
TO deposit the sum of $500 with the
state treasurer.
The premiums reported as collect
ed in the state for last year amount
ed to $12,536. OF this amount the
largest company doing business here
received about half. or $6,63S and
had policies in force amounting to
81, ,462, ,S04.57. In order to continue in
business after July of this year,
it would have to deposit $223.140 or
more than thirty times its annual in
come from the Nevada business.
1t will soon be a serious question
for those people who occupy posi-
nrs of trust in Nevada where bonds
are required, as the bonds now in
force issued by the companies will
not be renewed. Employees, especial
ly banks, railroads and other corpor-
ations. will be up against ii as they

KILLED A WILD CAT

Batesville, March 31. = The North Arkansas woman who kill ed a catamount with a stick in protecting her seven-year-Old daughter and herself, may not get a Carnegie medal for heroism but she will get a bounty from the county. Her name is Mrs. Ina Hancock. Her home is near Bellemore. While in the woods with her child near her home, she was startled by the sudden approach fthe wild cat which seemed bent upon killing the child. Instead of running and screaming Mrs. Hancock picked up a handy club and swatted the wild cat terrific blow on the back of the head as it leaped at her. As Mrs. Hancock is a heavy energetic woman his cat ship never awakened. She drag ged the carcass home and when she collects the bounty and the price of the skin she will reckon the days work fairly profitable

PREPARING FOR TORNADOES

Magnolia, March 31.-If the people of other parts of Arkansas follow the example of Magnolia Arkansas will soon have as many sO-called Arkansas cellarS"- as K kansas and other western states
 Just why the people of Mag nolia should be more afraid of tOrnadOes than residents of Oth- CT places who ard making mo- preparation for the advent of disastrous wind storms is not plain but many storm pits are being and have been eXcagated.
 The cause of the fears Of the Magnolia storm pit diggers is Of course the series of Cornadoes which have within tho last five months done incalculable damage in various parts or the state. The storm over a large area of Western Arkansas, quick ly followed by the one at Fisher and Stuttgart eliminating with the Brinkley horror, to say noth- ing of the recent one in Texas in which seven OF the victims were Arkansans. are calculated to arouse anxious quest stionings as to what place may be the next to suffer and if it should be Mag nolia the people want to be pre- pared.

THwART CENSUS TAwER.

In former years It has been the ex-
perlence OF census takers that large
majority Of the natives refused to give
the names of all the members Of their
household for fear that they might be
recruited in the army, says the Mexican
Herald.
The government has decided to ap-
point prominent persons as census TAX
ers in order that the actual number Of
inhabitants OF the republic may bo Sc
cured within close margin OF accu-
racy.
President Diaz will personally take
the census Of the block on the north
side OF Gale de C-dena. where he lives:
members OF the cabinet will perform a
similar duty in their respective neigh
borhoods; the archbishop OF Mexico
will take the census Of population in his
own quarters and an effor viii be made
to have all prominent citizens accept the
appointment for their neighborho Gods
generally in order that confidence may be
inspired among the natives and the fig.
ures may be as accurate as possible.
But in interior Mexico an uphill task
is in store for the authorities. as the
majority are bent upon thwarting the
census work. being formed Of iliterate
poems and farm laborers who are still
afraid of compulsory military SER
vice.

ruMsLERs OF ICE

Tee would at first sight seem 20 be the
most unsuitable substance to make tum-
blers from. Still a Dutch engineer H.
G. T.. Huizer. has proved the contrary
says the Technical World Magazine.
In working out his process Huizer has
endeavored to perfect a tumbier which
might present the drink In as agreeable
a form as possible while complying with
al requirements OF hygiene. The IDEAL
from the latter point Of view, would OBJ
viously be a cheaply produced tumhler OF
ephemeral existence which, after having
once been used would have 10 be throws
away. its destiny being fulfilled.
Now the ice tumbler complies most per
fectly with all these dcsiderata. Ii has a
conical wall three millimeters in thickness
which. however. grows slightly thicker IN
It's lower part, being rounded or toward
the bulb-shaped bottom. nine millimeters
in thickness. The special form OF the bot
tom has been chosen in order TO prevent
the tumbler from cracking or bursting Off
the bottom. The gradual thickening OF
side walls was adopted with view TO al
lowing for the increased melting OF the
tumbler in its lower parts-due TO the
higher liquid pressure and longer con-
tact Of the drink.
The tumbler viii hold one-fourth litre
Of liquid and its store OF cold assures to
the vessel and its contents a really sur
prising life. The process Of manufacture
makes the otherwise porous ice imper-
vlous to water. especially after adding
some minute amounts Of inoffensive VS.

COOKS SHOPS.

In primitive times the only places In
London where the public could be en-
tertained with food had been the cooks
shops. The famous East Cheap was
great thoroughsare, down which tho
stalls OF the butchers alternatcd with
those OF the cooks. You chose Joint at
the flesh market, and you carried It next
door 10 be cooked for you by a certain
hour. II you wished for wine. you must
bring that with you. for the cooks sold
no liquor. although they seem 20 have

SUCH as bread, vegetables and pastry.
This habit continued until well into the
reign OF Elizabeth, and so long as such an
inconvenient custom prevailed there could
have been no real comfort Tor any citizon
who chose to dine abroad. He must have
had as much trouble with porterage and
baskets as a country party has to-day at
a picnic But about tho time that Shake
speare came up to London a remarkable
change took place I'm the customs Of the
town. and the practice OF public hospital
ity and entertainment was singularly fact
litated
The nature OF this change lay in 'hr
sudden development Of the tavern and
the consequent withdrawal Of the cook
shop. The worshipful company OF pas

APPLES ARE HERE
AND WELCOME

Apples are here And they are ripe.
The virtues Of this fruit, which is so
rich in pectine (gelatinzng principle)
cannot be too highly praised. Food re-
formers value it as an article OF diet
and it is noted for its health giving ana
stimulating qualities. The apple is said
10 be more richly endowed with phos-
phorus than anything in the vegetable
or animal kingdom; It is inexpensive,
and easily obtainable all the year round;
and IL also stands firm as one Of the
oldest OF beauty and health prescrip-
lions
The apple may be served in a variety
Of ways, It is always appreciated on the
dessert table, and In its uncooked state
IL is a welcome addition to many Of the
summer fruit salads.
A perfect apple, however, is too good
a thing to pass on TO the kitchen. 1t is
a superb bit Of Pomona's favor, and most
OF US enjoy eating It raw. Children should
be given plenty OF apples Some few
are too delicate TO eat them uncooked;
for these baked and stewed apples are
both delicious and wholesome
Jams. marmalades and jelies may be
made from the apple. For that latter
crab and Maidens Blush apples should
be used in equal quantities to insure
bright color and tine flavor.
The housewife will find the following
ing recipes well worth trying:
Peel and CRATE two large apples and
put them aside. Whip stiff the whites
OF two eggs with pinch Of salt then
add gradually six tablespoonsful Of su-
gar, beating it well into the esq, aiter-
mating with a tablespoonful OF the apple
till all the sugar and apple are used.
Continue TO whip until the snow has
risen TO some height. II preferred the
pulp OF cooked apples may be used, and
the snow may be quickly and rightly
Drowned.
Apple cheese makes a good tart or
cake hlling. Peel. core and quarter half
a pound of apples and CRATE the rind OF
a medium-sized lemon. Place pound OF
sugar in an earthen-ware and pan with
a quarter OF a pint OF water. and add tho
apples and lemon. Simmer this for abou,
an hour. then add the Juice of two
lemons and let It boil for ten minutes,
stirring continually.
Boil three ounces OF rice in a pint
OF milk till tender. mash it 10 a pulp,
line a cake tin with Il and place II in
the oven till quite firm and set. Turn
81 into a dish and III the frame with
a soufde made as follows: Stew five
apples, sweetening ana havoring them
with a little cinnamon or Glove. Beat
the yolks OF three eggs with an ounce
and half Of butter and mix them with
The apples. Set on the fire FOR a few
minutes in order to mix we'll together
Let the mixture then stand in basin
for short while, add TO whites Of three
eggs beaten TO a stiff froth and mix all
together. FIJI the rice frame with this
and bake till a golden brown.
This makes simple, old-fashioned
dish which is both tempting and whole
some. Pare core and quarter some ap-
pies over night and place them in a

RATS ON MARCH
MENACE TO TROOPS

In nearly all countries a seasonal
movement of rats from houses and
barns to the open fields occurs IN
spring. and the return movement takes
place as cold weather approaches. The
movement Is noticeable in large cities.
More general movements Of rats Of
ten occur, says a Biological Survey
Bulletin. In 1908 multitude of mi
grating rats spread over several coun
ties OF Western Illinois. They were
noticed especially in Mercer and Rock
Island counties. For several years
prior 70 this invasion no abnormal
numbers were seen. and their coming
was remarkably sudden.
PLAGUE OF RATS.
An eyewitness TO the phenomenon
Informed the writer that as he was
returning 20 his home by moonlight
he heard a general rustling i'm tho
field nearby. aud soon a vast army of
rats crossed the road In front Of him,
all going I'm one direction. The mass
stretched away as far as could be seen
IN the dim light. These animals re-
mained on the farms and In the VII
lagos Of the surrounding country. and
during the winter and summer OF 1904
were veritable plague. A local
newspaper stated that between March
20 and April 90. 1904. +. u. Montgom-
cry of Presumption, Mercer county,
killed 3iS5 rats on his farm. He caught
most OF them IN traps.
In 1877 a similar migration occurred
into parts of Saline and Lafayette
counties, Missouri. and In 1904 another
came under the writer's observation In
L A..
the most part was flooded by the great
freshet OF June, 1908. and for about ten
days was covered with several feet OF
water. ft is certain that most OF the
rats I'm the valley perished In the food.
In the fan Of 1908 much of the district
was visited by hordes OF rats, which
remained during the winter. and by
the following spring had so increased
In numbers that serious losses OF grain
and poultry resulted.
No doubt the majority Of the So
called migrations OF rodents arc In re-
allity instances Of unusual reproduc-
ton or OF enforced migration owing
to lack OF food. In England a gem
eral movement OF rats inland from the
coast occurs every October. This is
closely connected with the closing OF
the herring season. During the fish-
ing the rodents swarm to the coast
attracted by tho offal left from clean
ing the herring. and when this food
supply fails they hasten back 20 the
farms and villages.
In South America periodic plaques Of
rats have taken place In Parana. Bra
I'll, at intervals OF about 80 years. and
in Chile at intervals Of from Is to %
years These plaques IN the cultivated
lands following the ripening and de-
cay Of the dominant species Of bam-
boo in each country. The ripening Of
the seed furnishes for two or three
years a favorite food for rats in the
forests, where the animals multiply
greatly; when this food fails they are
forced 10 the cultivated districts for
subsistence. In 1873 almost the en-
tire crop OF corn, rice and mandioca
in the state OF Parana were destroy
ed by rats, causing a serious famine.

Which is the truer picture Of our

tutions for the discovery and cure Of
disease?
Yes, surely.
And would you encourage the idle
shiftleSs to be more shiftless by
means Of misplaced charity7
No.
But somehow the picture reminds US
OF a story.
A certain king who did not amount
to much ordered his architect, who
was really a great man, to build a
beautiful edifce which should be a
memorial Of the monarch.
No name save that Of the king must
appear
The architect built the building, in
deed, and over its portals grayed the
name OF the king in plaster.
The wind and the rain beat upon the
house. Little by little the plaster
name disappeared, and years after be-
low the plaster and in the solid stone
appeared the name "sosostros."
