Growing children specially should eat
brown or graham bread.
The sponge is prepared as for white
bread, using potatoes or white flour. Put
into tray two parts graham -four, one
third white, and to every quart of this
allow a handful Of Indian meal, with a
teaspoonful Of salt. Wet this up with
the sponge, and when it is Mixed add,
for loaf Of fair size. half a teacupful
Of molasses. The dough should be very
soft. II there is not enough Of the
sponge to reduce It to the desired con-
sistency add a little blood-warm water
Knead 1t diligently and long. It will not
rise so rapidly as white flour, having
more body to carry. Let it take its time;
make into round, comfortable loaves and
set down again for the Second rising
when you have again kneaded II. Bake
steadily, taking care that II does not
burn, and do not cut while hot. The re-
suit will well repay you for your trouble
1t will take a little longer to bake than
white bread. Always sift graham -four

q cure and instant relief in Eczema
hnd all other serious skin diseases,
that its value Is sometimes overlooked
IN clearing up rash, pimples, black

Eulogizes The County Editor.

Here are few choice sentiments on
the country editor published In the
Wichita ks Beacoh, written BY G.
III. Knox OF the Sedan Times Star.
The country editor lives longest and
dies happiest, and heaven seems just
a little nearer To the shop than TO any
other point on earth. Such a paper
draws sustenance from the grass roots
aud thrives best when the editor
comes closest to the hearts OF his sub
scribers. He must welcome the new
born babe one day, and on what seems
like the morrow he must describe the
babe OF yesterday as the bride of un-
stinted charm and grace. Every death
is close TO him, every success, every
promotion In business, every gradua-
tion from the high school. Clipping
ffom his paper are found, yellow and
faded, in the family Bible, and each
of them, to somebody, marks one Of
the mountain peaks or deep valleys OF
life. -

A foolish woman and her money are
soOu married.
Better a self-made man than ma
chine made politician.
Fast clocks and fast young men are
due for setbacks.
The ship in which many fond hopes
go dnwn is courtship.
Too many political platforms are
made up OF gang planks.
Unless thing is uncomfortable it
seldom becomes fashionable.
When a woman borrows trouble she
insists on paying it back three or four
times.
Men have more temptations than
women because they know where TO

The miners OF New Mexico tell a

Like all miners. he carried a large

hung the glass on the outside and the
rays of the sun had been concentrated
on his pack.
AS among the contents were fifteen
pounds Of powder he lost no time in
dropping the dangerous burden and
getting as far away as possible The
haversack fell between two big rocks.
while the miner from a safe distance
mournfully watched the smoke rising
from his sole worldly possessions.
Presently there came deafening ex-
plosion, and the miner went to gather
up what he could find. Then his eyes
almost started out OF his head at see

OLD SAMOAN MATS.
Precious HeirIooms That Are Treas.
ured by the Natives.

Precious Heirlooms That Are Treas.
ured by the Natives.
Among the curious customs OF the
Samoans is that of making heirlooms
of mats. By some simple process OF
reasoning the mat has come to be iden-
tilted with the family, as the hearth
stone is additionally sacred among the
Saxon race.
The Samoan mats are really fine
specimens of art. The people esteem
them much more highly than any ar
ticle of European manufacture. and
the older they are the more they are
regarded. Some of them have names
known all over the Samoan group.
The oldest is called Moe-e Fulfill, or
1.-THE man that slept among the creep
ers." 1t got this title by reason OF the
fact that 1t had been hidden away for
years among the creeping convolvulus
that grows wild along the seashore. 1t
is known to be 200 years old, as the
names of its owners during that pc
Rod can be traced.
The possession of one of these old
mats gives the owner great power-in
fact, it is title deed to rank and prop
erty, from the Samoan standpoint, says
Harpers Weekly. 1t Is no matter II
the mats are tattered and worn out
Their antiquity is their value. and for
some of the most cherished of them
large sums of money would be refused

Whatever Their Station They Are

There are, of course. all kinds of
Hindus. They range from the lowest
levels Of superstition and ignorance to
high attainments of intelligence and
culture. Butr1n one respect they are
all alike. Never once says Mr..
Begbie, have | detected the very
smallest smirch of vulgarlty either In
manners or In dress" The Hindu may
believe in 100000 gods. he may
hold that the world Is fiat and that
his souls salvation is endangered
by the shadow of European, "but
he will have charm of manner and
make picture either In the unhand-
seled jungle or on the platform of Il

But the Indian woman Is the crown

women are everywhere. She may be
unable to read or write, she may give
food to idols and believe that her god
or devil rides around the village at
night on plaster horse or a mud ele-
plant. but she will be modest and
