BROUGHT HIM HOME IN STATE
Ordinary Street Car Not Good Enough
for Man Who Was Restoring
Lost Pet.

A man who lives on One Hundred
and Sixth street and Riverside drive,
New York, recently lost fox terrier.
The animal isn't much of a dog from
the strictly dog point of view-he is
decidedly lacking in lineage and class
and all that sort Of thing. But he's
nice little plebeian dog, and he is very
popular with the children of the house
hold. So when Tango-that's his
name, and he has it engraved on his
collar-got lost recently, the owner
advertised a reward of S.. The ad-
vertisement said that the dog. which
would be recognized by the collar,
was a children's pet and therefore
valued.
Nothing was seen of Tango for a
week. Then one night a seedy indi-
vidual arrived at the apartment with
Tango-also most seedy-under his
arm.
Here's your dog" said he. 81 found

once took liking to Caroline and
proved to be an excellent instructor,
though she never dreamed how close
ly Caroline watched her in everything
she did. Caroline kept her eyes and
ears open to everything that her SUI
perior said and did and worked early
and late and every minute of the day.
IL she had told Colonel Jay she was

able to send something home to her
family from the first. II she hadn't
told this pardonable fib she would
have wasted long months learning
how to pull hastings, thread needles,
sew labels into finished gowns and
pick up pins-and it would have taken
two or three years for her to work
up to the position she now held from
the start.
At the end of her first season Colo

Manx was going back to Paris and
that he wanted Caroline to take her

did or said in working hours she would
have the reputation of Jay to uphold

Just at this time occurred the death
OF Alexander III, car of Russia, and
as the widowed empress was sister

who was then prince of Wales, the
English court went into deep mourn

into fashionable Grape attire.
For few days Jays was besieged
from morning till night, and coun-

princesses clamored with each other

Vinaicrette of Beef.

Cut in thin slices some left over
boiled beef and let it lie an hour in
marinating mixture made as follows.
Thin one scant teaspoonful of mustard
with enough oil and vinegar to soak
the meat in. Use half and half oil
and vinegar, or three times as much
oil as vinegar, according to taste. Add
salt and pepper and chopped fine herbs
to taste. A little chopped onion may
be used and the dish in which the
meat is marinated may be rubbed with
a Glove Of garlic.

Flavor Universally Acknowledged as
Far Superior to That Made In the
Easier Way.

Old-fashioned housekeepers cling to
the old way of making aspic, claiming
that its flavor is far superior to the
easier made product. 1t Is indeed ex-
cellent and in cold weather keeps
its form quite as we'll as where gelatin
is used to stiffen.
Get from the butche, a knuckle
bone of ham, Calls foot and a
knuckle of veal. Put into two quarts
of cold water, and set over the fire
where it will come slowly to a boil.
Add one onion with four cloves stuck
into it, large carrot, a bunch OF
soup herbs and spice bag. Cook
gently for four or five hours until the
water is reduced about one-half. Strain
and set aside to cool.
When cold remove every suspicion
of fat and return the thickened> jelly
to a clean saucepan with the crushed
shells and beaten whites of two eggs,
a tablespoonful of tarragon vinegar,
and lemon juice or wine as preferred,
to season. Salt and pepper to taste,
and keep stirring until the jelly near
ly reaches the boiling point and a
thick scum has formed. Remove that,
then draw to one side of the fire and
simmer gently for Is minutes. Set
back covered, until the jelly settles,
then strain through jelly bag two
or three times until quite clear. Pour
into mold that has been soaked in
cold wather, then pack in pan OF
snow or broken ice until hard. If you
desire to have the jelly pretty red
color add sufficient tomato to color at
the same time and add the lemon or
wine.

SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Treatment With LimeSulphur MIX
ture Late In Winter.

(By C. P. GILLETTE, Colorado Expert
ment Station.)
San Jose scale is one of The worst
pests attacking orchard trees In this
country. 1t is extremely important
that orchards should be so treated as
to exterminate the scale from them
and prevent its spread to surrounding
orchards.
Undoubtedly the best remedy for
this scale is a thorough treatment
with lime-sulphur mixture late in the
winter or early in the spring, before
the buds begin to open on the trees.

probably there is no better formula
than the following:
Good lump lime, Is pounds;
Flowers of sulphur, Is pounds;
Water, so gallons.
The lime should be slaked in warm
water and, as soon as the shaking has
been well started, the sulphur should
be added and enough water kept in
the receptacle to keep the mass thin
and sloppy. Boil for at least forty

WINTER WORK IN ORCHARDS
When Ground Is Frozen Is Favorable
Tim, for Hauling and Spreading
.ianure-Add Bone Meal.

The winter when the ground is
frozen hard is favorable season for
hauling out with cart or sled the ma
nure needed. In spring the ground
Is too soft to haul over and other
work is too pressing; the result is
this important matter is put off for
another year. The manure should be
hauled and spread evenly over the
ground. Do not place directly around
the trunks; it only affords harbor
for mice and insects. The manure
should be rotted and from granted
stalks, mixed with little animal ma
nure, is poor stuff and is only valuable
as a mulch. This kind of manure
should be hauled out to the orchard
and piled. Mix a half-bushel of raw
bone meal in each two-horse wagon
load of manure as it is piled and make
a compact heap, which will soon rot
down, and, when we'll rotted, should
be spread. About one to two bushels
is the proper quantity tor each large
tree. The manure should be spread
In circle as far out as the branches
extend.
Practical growers are now using
from 400 to 500 pounds of animal bone
and potash fertilizer per acre. The
fertilizer is drilled in with rye IN the
early fall, the rye is turned under IN
April-for green manure. This meth
cd is found to be the cheapest and
best method of fertilizing the orchard.

this, he was invariably behind in his

Protect Grapes From MIIdew.

To protect grapes from mildew
which may or may not attack them
they should be busted or sprayed
with sulphur. For few vines or the
family vineyard a good way is to put
the sulphur in piece of burlap or a
grain bag and shake the sulphur over
the vines. A sprayer which will
force the sulphur among the leaves
more completely is of course more
effective.
