Lord Of the Sun and Moon,
Great Magician and Great
Thief'-A Monarch's Title

The youthful shah Of Persia has an
amazing array Of titles. ranging from
shah-in-shah, (king Of kings) to such
poetical attributes as 1.-THE Rose of De-
light" 'The Branch Of Honor" and
THE Mirror of virtue;" while his ma
jesty of Arracan used to be proclaimed
as Emperor Of Arracan, pOssessor of
the white elephant and the two ear
rings. and in virtue Of this possession
legitimate heir Of Pegu and Brahma
Lord OF the twelve kings who place
their heads under his feet"
Somewhere In the wilds of Afghanis-
tan there is an Ameer who boasts Of as
many high dignities as there are days
In the year, among them being
The sovereign of the universe, whom
God created to be as accomplished as
the moon at her plenitude; whose eye
glitters like the northern star; king
as spiritual as ball is round, who,
when he rises, shades all of his people,
and from under whose feet sweet
Odor is waited" But perhaps the most
remarkable title any monarch was ever
proud to own was borne by the king of
Monomotapa, whose praises were sung
by his court poets and musicians as
Lord of the Sun and Moon, Great Ma
gician and Great Thief"
Another striking example of royal
dignity is that of the former emperor
of China. whose recent coup detat
ended in such failure. He was hailed
by his subjects as 1.-The protector of
religion, whose fame is infinite and OF
surprising excellence exceeding the
moon. the unexpanded jessamine buds
and the stars. whose feet are as fra
grant to the noses of other kings as
flowers to bees, most noble patron and
God by custom"

HAPPY PUPPIES.
~ MARY GRAAANRONNEk

At last the Irish setter puppies had
their eyes opened; lovely blue eyes they
had and their heads were SO smooth
and soft. Their ears were long and
their hair was of a wonderful red
brown shade, long and also very soft.
They looked very much like their
mother only much, much smaller.
They We're tiny and they cared more
about sleep than anything else in the
world.
Adventures might be all right later
on, but for the present sleep was the
most glorious thing. They would fall
over each other and any way they fell
they would go sound asleep. Such
strange positions as they got into when
they slept. but as long as it did not
bother them the mother let them alone.
"My beautiful puppies" she said to
herself as she looked at them. When
they nestled very close to her she look
ed out of the window Of the tool room
in the barn where their home was for
the present and thought:
Il wish l could always keep my pup
pies safe in here and away from the
world and dangers"
Then she would look out Of the win
dow again and once more down at her
puppies and she would think of the dog
shows where they would win prizes,
for they We're perfect, very perfect and
they were her own puppies
But they seemed so safe and sleepy
now and she hated to think ahead OF
all the troubles that might come to
them. They might be sold to people
who didn't love and understand ami
mails. but she didn't think Of that long,
for she knew her mistress would be
very, very careful-she loved the pup
pies too.
After time the puppies were almost
grown up and in little while after
there was great excitement. The pup
pies did not understand 1t, but the
mother did. She had been to many
a dog show and how many prizes she
had won! She could never count them
for she really couldn't be bothered with
adding and such things-she wanted
to watch her beautiful grown-up pup
pies. For she could hardly believe
that they were no longer babies.
"We're going to the show" she whis-
pered to them, shat is what all the
excitement means. We're going to win
ribbons and prizes, my beautiful ones,
and our mistress will be SO happy and
glad"
The next day they went-the whole
family of puppies and the mother.
The judges were looking at all the
dogs. "This Irish setter family beats
them ALL" they said. And each grown
up puppy and the mother won prizes.
They received the best ribbons Of all
and how delighted their mistress was,
to be sure.
SNOW" said their mother, "you will
not leave me, for you will come to
other shows ut other times. ! have

The Puppies Were About Grown Up.
tried to keep you beautiful and well
and so has my mistress. Now she is
so pleased that you won prizes that she
will not think of giving you away"
And though the puppies were almost
grown-up they nestled close to their
mother as though they were very young
and said, "Were happy that there are
dog shows, mother, If 1t means we will
not leave you" And they barked their
Joy!
Crowds stopped to look at them and
they copied their mother and stood
and looked as she did. And when their
mother heard the people say how fine
she was they noticed she wagged her
tail, SO they did the very same thing
when people admired them!
When some of the dogs snarled and
were cross the Irish settlers looked at
their mother as IL to say,
"People won't want to look at them
II they're cross"
But their mother answered, "You
can't always blame them. my dears, for
every dog hasn't the kind mistress that
we have! And IL dog Is cross. very,

or mistress" So the puppies who were
almost grown-up barked more joyously
than ever when their mistress came
back to them!

Homemade Solution Makes
PaSteurized Cream Whip.

People who use pasteurized cream
often have trouble In getting their
cream to whip. This is due to the
substance called viscogen. being de-
stroyed by heating. This trouble can
easily he remedied by adding small
amount of homemade viscogen, which
can he prepared as follows:
First dissolve two and half parts
sugar In Ave parts water.
Second. dissolve one part OF quick
lime In three parts water.
Mix the two solutions and let stand
n few hours. Siphon Off. or pour of,
the clear liquid, and what is left Is
an excellent substitute for viscogen,
which with proper care, will keep
for long time. Use about tea
spoonful for pint of cream.

Milk and Milk Dishes.

Milk and Milk Dishes.
The value Of milk for the growing
family can never be too often express
ed. In these days when feed for the
cattle costs so much more than
formerly. when labor is higher and
very scarce the dairyman must raise
his price of milk or go out of bust
ness. Milk at II to Is cents quart
is cheaper food than meat. Cut down
on other foods but never on the milk
for the family. for in it are the growth
determinants or growth stimulants
which are so essential for a good body
framework and healthy blood. The york
of egg and good butter are also rich in
this growth stimuant. A growing child
should have IL possible three glasses
of milk per day, even when eating the
usual amount of solid foods found in
vegetables and cereals, milk is not a
beverage, II Is food.
\ For cream soups skinned milk may
be used, and egg added to supply the
lack of fat with butter and -four used

be given the children at meals for their
drink In summer and hot in winter.
IF plenty of good butter is supplied
the child will be well fed. Cheese in
various forms may be used in the place
Of meat; as souilles with macaroni In
cream sauce over toast, In cream po-
tatoes or escalloped potatoes and in
many other dishes which will occur to
the house mother. A simple and
wholesome supper dish which is easy
10 prepare Is the following:

LLAMAS ARE AMONG THE
RAREST OF ANIMALS


When the great AL. G.. Barnes
shows come to Moscow on June &c
they will bring with them the only
herd of really educated llamas in this
country. It is the only instance known
where these animals have submitted
to a thorough course Of education.
The South American llama will
bear neither beating nor ill-treatment.
The animals go in troops, an Indian
walking a long distance iterates, &c,
ic, ic!" If the llamas are tired they
stop, and the Indian stops also. If
the delay be too great the Indian, be-
coming uneasy toward sunset, after
all due precaution, resolves on suppl
eating the beasts to resume their
journey. He stands about fifty Or
sixty PAGES off, in an attitude of hui
mility, waving his head coaxingly to-
ward them, looks at them with tender
ness, and at the same time, in the
softest tones, reiterates, &c, ic, ic!"
If the llamas are disposed to RESUME
their course they follow the Indian in
good order and at a regular pace, but
