BROWN SUGAR.

Brown sugar is still used by many
people Those who do use it know
how difficult thing it is to keep it
from Jumping, which it will invari-
ably do If the sugar is kept in very
dry atmosphere. The best way to
keep brown sugar is in glass pre-
serve jar with the top tightly screwed
on, and the jar kept in the refriger-
ator. This, too, is splendid way to
keep cheese.

INSECT oGREs.
THE ICHNEUMON.
Sweet pleasure is my portion,
No work for me or mine,
My babes | give to other folk
10 rear. az they incline

10 rear as they incline.
Look! See that great green worm
feebly crawling up the trunk of the
oak tree. There, she has lost her
hold and tumbled to the ground.
What strange looking creature she
is! Her back and sides seem to be
covered with grains of rice, all stand
ing on end. Each grain is really a
tiny cocoon. See, some of them are
empty and their little lids hang half
open.
A few weeks ago this great potato
worm was as healthy and fat a green
caterpillar as could be, exploring the
garden, tasting this plant and that, or
resting beneath the shade of the old
apple tree. One day as she was TAX
ing her MONDAY siesta along came a
stranger with a curious weapon, a
slender sword in sheath, attached to
the hinder part of her body. No soon
er did she spy Miss Green than she
unsheathed this fearful weapon and
proceeded to pierce the fat sleeper
again and again, and in every hole
she dropped an egg, as she withdrew
her sword. Poor Miss Green, having
no weapon with which to defend her
self, could only throw back her head
in anger and alarm and try to fright
en- off her enemy.
AS the days passed Miss Green felt
more and more uncomfortable. Her
appetite failed, her steps grew slow
and feeble, and as the summer waxed
she felt that her interest in life was
growing less and less. When the sew
enty little worms which had emerged
from the ichneumon's eggs had fairly
slapped the life of the unfortunate cat
terpillar, each made its way out to
her back and spun its little cocoon,
which looked exactly like grain of
rice. Out of this it in time emerged a
perfect ichneumon ogre, ready to
start of in search of some other poor
potato worm in which to deposit its
eggs.

Best Thoroughbreds in Training Here
Eligible to All Big Events of Brit

Early in Spring

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The English
racing season, which begins early In
the spring, will attract wide attention

number of American horses which will
participate.
result of legislation in various states
has resulted in many of the best
American horses being shipped abroad,
where the sport is unhampered.
Among the prominent owners who
have sent horses to England are
James r. Keene, August Belmont and
Harry Payne Whitney, while scores Of
young horses, purchased here by Brit
ish sportsmen, will make their appear
| ance at the English tracks.
Colin and Priscillian, unbeaten
horses, head the long list Of American
racers now preparing for the races OH
the other side. Other we'll known an
imals there include Ballot, Fair Play,
Dinna Ken, Suffragette Wedding Bells,
Sir Martin, which will try for the
derby for his owner; Bobbin, Melis-
ande, Helmet and Baby Wolf
That the English Handicapped holds
q high estimate of the American-bred
runners is evident from the fact that
Ballot, Colin, Fair Play and Priscillian
all are asked to carry in their engage
ment pounds more than Llangwm and
Your Majesty, reckoned the best Eng
lish horses of last year.
Many of the big English stake races
have eligibles in the American invading

LOST MINE YIELDS GOLD
TO INDIANS FOR YEARS

There is one ''lost mine" story which
is not fake, whatever others may be
or perhaps it is the story of a gold
deposit which white men have not seen,
says an exchange. For years Indians
have been bringing placer gold into
Benton for sale, and the late John F.
Millner bought quantities Of it at diff
ferent times. Also some has occasion
ally been brought here and sold. White
people have never ben able to elicit in
formation as to the source Of supply.
The Piute patriarch of Long Valley will
extend his simple hospitality to ac-
quaintances, but to inquiries from even
the best known the most definite in
formation vouchsafed is ''you go look,
maybe you find um.'' 1t is a. Certainty
that the Indians know of a gold de-
posit, probably in the Long valley
neighborhoods which yields gold with
small labor and limited operations.

REDLANDS HIGH SCHOOL
BASKETBALL TEAMS LOSE

REDLANDS, Jan. 31.-The Redlands
high school basketball teams both
went down to defeat yesterday, the
Riverside boys winning with a score of
So to Is and the girls with a score of
25 to 8.
In the first half of each game the
Riverside team took the lead, and in
the second halves a few changes were
made in the Redlands lineup, but not
sufficient to warrant the victory Of the
games.
The Riverside boys are playing a fast
game and are out for, the champion
ship of the year. The Redlands girls
played a consistent game, and the only
explanation Of the defeat was they
were up against a faster team.

Financial Review

NEW YORK, Jan 31.-The irregular move
ment of prices of stocks in last weeks mar
ket' with the dominant tendency downward,
gave fair index of the speculative sentiment.
with the undertone leaning to the side of the
depression
The principal contesting factors at worl, were
found in the redundant money supplies on the
one side, and the reports of backward trade
conditions, on which the plethoric money at
the reserve centerS was in itself a result OF
the trade outlook it is to be said that the
stock market view is not so much in fear of a
retrogression it is of disappointment in the
rate of progression.
Very large transactions in existing issues at
the stock exchange are going on dav after dav
A large speculative element is perceptible in
this activity in the heavy proportion of deal
1ngs in bonds affected by the transfer of con-
trol OF the properties to stronger hands, or by
prospective emergence from threats of bank
ruptcy or from the receiverships by reason of
the improved financial situation
This ready supply of new capital in response
to corporation requirements, gives excellent
promise of resumption of outlay suspended dur
ing the financial depression, although a modi-
Tying circumstance is the extensive refunding
going on of short term obligations incurred az
onerous terms during the money crisis.
Reports of railroad net earnings for Decem-
Der reveal the source of much of this disap-
pointment in the radical cuts in expense which
are being made by them, to the striking i'm
provement of their net return of profits but
to the deprivation of the industries supplying
materials The cut in railroad expenses, it is
OOASNSu, represents MUCH CndC Is only de-
ferred pending a revival Of traffic and which
must ultimately be covered by outlay.
The disposition to curtail outlay is increased
by the approaching revision of the tariff
Pressure for price concessions also has its
part, which is reported to be meeting with
scme consent from the minor Independent steel
companies.
In the copper trade the large rate of produc-
tion outruns the present consumptive demands
with accumulation of stocks and a yielding
tendency of prices.
