FELL INTO cATAcoMBs.

A curious accident happened the
other morning in Paris, where a
house sank down into the Catacombs,
over which it was standing. The
house is small one, consisting only
OF ground floor structure, situated
over part Of the old Catacombs. A
gliding downward movement was
felt by its occupant, and he hurried
ly fed. The house was gradually
subsiding over distance Of some 20
feet, and the courtyard threatened TO
disappear with it, having sunk some
10 feet beneath the surrounding sur
face. Steps were taken at once to
prevent more serious accidents to
neighboring buildings.

TO MAKE DUMPuNes
RECIPES THAT WILL APPEAL TO
THE HOUSEWIFE.
Never Fail DumpIIna, Rhubarb Dump
ling, Fruit Dumping and PotpIe
Dumping Worth Trying on
Hungry Family.


Never Fall Dumpllnp-Get two and
one-half pounds OF veal or beef of the
round and have 1T cut in cubes. put
tablespoon of butter IN kettle and
brown meat in butter, then salt and
cover meat with water and let Il sim
mer until tender. Take flour sitter
twothirds full of -four. pinch of salt,
two teaspoonfuls Of baking powder
sifted in the -four, and milk enough to
make a soft biscuit dough. Don't use
rolling pin. Pat It with your hands,
cut with biscuit cutter, and drop In
kettle with meat when II is boiling
briskly. Have plenty of water in ket-
tie but not enough to submerge the
dumplings. Boil twenty minutes with
out removing the kettle cover. Can
boil your potatoes with this II you
like, thus using only one kettle This
will serve a family Of five plentifully.
Rhubarb DumpIlng-Two cupfuls
-four, two tablespoonfuls butter or but

barb, cover with sugar, place small
piece butter on sugar and roll into
dumping. Continue until all dough is
used. Place .dumplings in pan, cover
with one cupful sugar, tablespoonful
-four and bits of butter; pour over this
two cupfuls water. Bake in oven.
Fruit Dumpllnps-Preserve enough
dough when shaping loaves of bread
to make as many small biscuits as de-
sired. Roll small biscuits about the
size of an egg into balls and place
them in a granite baking pan. Let
them rise as for biscuits. Have ready
some sweetened canned fruit with
sufficient juice almost to cover the
biscuits, one quart of the canned fruit
to one dozen dumplings. Pour fruit
over the dumplings. then put them in
the oven. Bake forty-flve minutes.

TAKING COUNT or STARS.
Astronomer Royal Gives Some Inter
estIna Statistics Regarding the
Heavenly Bodies.

Mr.. F. w. Dyson, the astronomer
royal, in a recent lecture gave some
interesting statistics concerning the
number of stars and the rate OF
their progression.
In 1885, the lecturer said, il was
calculated that there we're 100000
stars down to a magnitude of nine
and half. Now, more than a mill
lion for the whole sky had been
definitely ascertained as to their po-
sitions and magnitudes, and the
number Of stars approximately in
the sky down to the fourteenth mag
nitude was twenty-four millions.
The motion of the stars, the as
tronomer royal added, was imper-
ceptible, and the star with the great
est motion was a very faint one. II
was discovered in 1897, travelled 81
seconds a year, and its rapidity of
motion had gained for it the title
of "the runaway of the skies" In
the constellation Of Orion there were
eight bright stars that moved less
than one second in a century.

MEXICAN DWARF DEER.

While hunting in Durango, Mex,
last spring 1 learned some facts as to
the natural history of the Whitehall
deer of that region, which were so
surprising to me that they appear to
be worth noting in print.
These deer are dwarfs, a full
grown male weighing probably less
than 100 pounds. In fact when run
ming at full tilt through the chapar-
raj they very much resemble jack
rabbits. They subsist entirely upon
the leaves Of the manzanita and the
acorns of the live oak. The latter
are swallowed whole, but my sur
mise is that they are thoroughly
masticated upon regurgitation.
Why these animals should be so
diminutive in a land Astounding in
food and water and why their hab-
its should be 30 different from those
Of their northern congeners is surely
a puzzle.-Forest and Stream.

TREED LION TIED BY HUNTER.

Because he had forgotten his
climbers" G. E. Ordish, Montana
lion hunter, had to walk back five
miles after them through the snow
to Libby, Mon, the other day before
he could climb a tree, rope and cap
ture a lion which his dogs had
tracked.
Leaving his dogs he walked five
miles to Libby and returned with A.
G. Beager, Fred Bockman and Doc
tor Aud. Mr.. Ordish climbed the
tree, roped the lion, tied its legs to-
gether and dropped the end of the
rope to the ground. 1t was brought
to earth, where a collar and chain
were put around its neck and the
trio started for the sleigh, one Of
the men holding the animal by the
chain and collar, another by the
hind feet and the third man held
the rope around the body. A cage
was made when they reached Libby.
Mr.. Ordish has captured Is lions
alive thus far.-Spokane correspond

WOMEN AND SEAL QUESTION
Only Persons Really Interested In Pro-
posed Treaty to Stop Destruc-
tlon Of Animals.

1t might be interesting to know
what position the women of the civ
ilized world would take with regard
to the proposed treaty between our
country and Great Britain to put an
end, for some years, at least, to the
destruction of seals in the polar seas.
The beautiful, inoffensive animals
have been the occasion Of almost
numberless international difficulties.
Our government, as arbiter Of af-
fairs in the seal resorting sections
has endeavored to assert its author
ity of preventing the wholesale, bar
barous destruction of the seals.
Aside from a natural sympathy for
the pretty, harmless creatures, how
ever, what real occasion exists for all
the fuss and bother and information
al diplomatic dealings over the de-
struction of the seals?
The only persons in all the wide,
wide world really interested are the
women who can afford to wear seal
skins and the men making it BUSH
ness to secure the skins and prepare
them for the market. Why should
the fancies of a few thousand, more
or less, of rich women and the Gu
pidity of a comparatively few seal
catchers and sealskin tanners and
dyers be allowed to have so great in
fuence on international affairs?

LEGEND OF THE PHOENIX
Built Its Own Funeral Pyre and Then
Famed Flames With lite
Wings.

According to ancient writers, the
phoenix was a bird of great beauty
about the size of an eagle. Only one
of these birds could live at time,
but its existence covered period of
500 or 600 years. When its life drew
to a close the bird built for itself a
funeral pyre of wood and aromatic
spices, with its wings famed the
pyre into a flame, and therein con-
sumed itself. From its ashes a
worm was produced, out of which
another phoenix was formed, having
all the vigor of youth. The first care
of the new phoenix was to solemnize
its parents obsequies. For that pur-
pose it made a ball of myrrh, frank
incense, and other fragrant things.
AT Heliopis, a city in lower Egypt,
there was a magnificent temple dedi-
Gated to the sun. To this temple
the phoenix would carry the fragrant
ball and burn it on the altar of the
sun as a sacrifice. The priests then
examined the register and found
that exactly 500 years or exactly 600
years, had elapsed since that same
cermony had taken place.

NEW RECORD IN WIRELESS
Message Reaches Liverpool Which
Travelled Distance Of over
1000 Miles.

Wonderful progress is being made
in long distance telephony and teleg-
raphy. A wireless message reached
Liverpool recently which travelled
from Putna Arenas, in South Amer
lea, a distance of 1900 miles. This
is a new record in wireless commune
cation.
By means of new type of sub
marine telephone cable which has
been laid between Abbott's Cliff, Do
yer and Cape Grisnez, France, a re-
markable advance has been made in
long distance telephony. This cable
is regarded by the engineering de-
partment of the British peneral post
office as experimental, but the result
obtained from it have been SO salts
factory that it is confidently expect
ed the exchange of messages will be
possible between towns in England
and on the continent where the added
distances from the ends of the cable
do not exceed 1,70O miles. In other
words the new cable in connection
with unloaded aerial land lines, will
enable conversation to be maintained
between London and the city of AS
trakhan, on the shores of the Caspian
sea, or right across the whole CONT
nent of Europe.
