of caligraphy and illumination range
in dates from the Seventh to the Four

now accepted. There are, also. sew

one of the most splendid in existence,
are included in the exhibit.

Punishment,

She was only three years old, but
she was very vain. After all, age has
little to do with vanity.
Her governess found her the most
difficult of the three children to man
age, and the whole family was sur
priscd when they discovered that the
young girl who was hired to wheel
the baby out in the park could manage
her as easily as If she were a model
child.
How do you do it?" the mother
asked one day.
The girl smiled. "She's easy
enough to handle" she said. made
moiselle always tries to reason with
her. That doesn't do any good, be-
cause she just turns unthinking ears
to her. But when l have her out, if
she won't behave, l just take her lit
tie curls and tuck them away up uA-
der her hat so no one can see them.
Then in about two minutes she'll
promise to be just as good as gold
If I'll only pull them out again."

of the bird. The company took part
in the Civil War and the fame of
Old Abe spread throughout the en-
tire army. He was carried into the
thick of every battle, and seemed to
understand the danger as well as the
men. The Confederates became a.
ware of his presence, and dubbed
the eagle "The Yankee Buzzer", and
selected sharp shooters in an attempt
to kill the eagle.
At the close of the war, Old Abe
was formally presented to the State
of Wisconsin, with due ceremony, at
the State Capitol, Governor Lewis
on behalf of the State accepting the
eagle. A room in the basement Of
the Capitol was fitted up as a home
for Old Abe, and man was appoint
ed to be his keeper. On pleasant
days, the eagle was taken out into
the Capitol Park and viewed by
thousands of visitors from all parts
of the state. He was carried to many
patriotic gatherings throughout the
country. He was exhibited at the
Centennial Exhibition at Philadel-
phia. P. T. Barnum the great cir
Gus man, offered $4,000. for him.
In February, 1881, fire occurred in
the basement of the Capitol, and
though Old Abe was rescued, the eff
feet of the fumes and smoke was
such that he died on March, 28,1881.
The body was mounted by taXider-
mist, and is now on exhibition in the
Grand Army Memorial Hall of the
Capitol.

intelligence Of Elephants.

Elephants are extraordinarily intelli-
gent, even in their wild state, but it is
an astonishing fact that with all this
intelligence the males will invariably
permit the approach of human beings
(on the right side of the windy to
within 20 or 80 yards with the utmost
unconcern. 1t is on this account many
hunters believe that they are blind
to anything at close quarters.
This opinion, however, is discounted
by the fact that the females, particu-
larly if they are with young, get very
curious, and more often than not in
vestigate matters, and if they do, do so
with trunk aloft, head and ears back,

Cuban people take it in preference to
all other fruits of their abundant sup

In the United States it is popularity
used as a salad. Served with lemon
juice it is especially good, although it
is usually served with an equal guam
tity of other ingredients.
Mexican Salad.-Peel and dice as
much fruit as desired, using two parts
of fruit to one part of Bermuda onion
chopped fine, and one small sweet pep
per, also chopped. Season with salt,
pepper and vinegar and let stand two
hours before serving.
Raspberry Whip.-Take one cupful
of canned raspberries, two to four
tablespoonfuls Of powdered sugar, one
half pint of cream and two egg whites.
Whip the cream, then whip the egg
whites and combine the two Stir in
the raspberries and sugar. The fresh
berries are an improvement on the
canned, but the latter are very good.
Fresh raspberries may be mashed and
mixed with an equal bulk of sugar and
canned without cooking. Such pre-.
serves are delicious for a dish like
the above.
Coffee Jelly.-Take .one-fourth of q
box of gelatin; soak fifteen minutes
in one-fourth of a cupful of cold water.
Pour over this one cupful of boiling
coffee and two tablespoonfuls of sugar.
Strain and pour into four molds. When
partly cold add four nuts finely
chopped. Serve with whipped cream,
using one-third of a cupful. Garnish
with half Of a walnut or blanched

Old Abe Captured in Our Near
Northern Lakes Park.

Was Old Abe, the famous Wiscon-
sin war eagle, captured in the
Northern Lakes Park? This inter-
esting query is brought out in con-
nection with the campaign to raise
fund to purchase this great park
area, to present to the State for State
Park purposes. Delving into the
historic past, it is developed that the
famous war eagle was captured
either in the park or just north of it.
Miss Louise P. Kellogg, Research AS
sociate of the State Historical So
ciety of Wisconsin, has been looking
into the matter, and writes to the
Wisconsin Lakes and Parks associa-
ton as follows:
The earliest mention of the Flam-
beau River is in connection with the
Chippewa Indians, who in the eigh-
teenth century began to push into
this region. The Flambeau was part
of the battle-ground between the
Sioux and the Chippewa. The chief
Of the Flambeau band of the latter
tribe was the great Keesk-ke-num,
who ruled all the country between
the Chippewa River and Lac du
Flambeau. 1t was his grandson,
Chief Sky, who captured OLD ABE"
A party visited Chief Sky after the
Civil War led by the Lumberman,
Thomas Coleman to ascertain where
he captured the eagle. 1t was, he
said, on the north fork of the Flam-
beau, but I fear from the des-
criptions it was little higher up
than the park region. He spoke of
rapids, and those who Intercepted
him thought it must have been in
township 40, range one east; seventy
miles from the mouth of the Flam-
Beau
Following up the story further,
some interesting details of the story
of Ole Abe are brought out. Early
in the Spring of 1861, band of
Indians went up the North Fork of
the Flambeau River, to make maple
sugar. They discovered the eagles
nest in a tall pine tree. Chief Sky
captured the baby eagle from the
nest. On their way down the river,
he and the other Indians stopped one
April day at the pioneer home of
Daniel Mccain at Jim Falls, about
ten miles up the river from Chippewa
Falls, and Mrs. Mccain bought the
young eagle for a bag of corn. At
that time he was not old enough to
fly. AS he became older, he became
somewhat ugly, and Mr.. Mccain
took him to Eau Claire and sold him
for $500 to a company being raised
for service in the Civil War by Cap
tain John e. Perkins. The name of
the Company was changed to the Eau
Claire Eagles. This company later
went to Camp Randall at Madison,
and became Company G of the 9Th
Wisconsin Infantry, 'and the eagle
was named GOLD ABE. after Abra-
ham Lincoln. A handsome perch
was made for him in the form of a
shield with a platform on top of a
six foot staff, and member of the
company detailed for the special care

County Agent Notes.
Mites and Lice ON Poultry.

In order to control the poultry
pests one should know little about
their habits. Mites are sucking in
sects that live in the poultry house
and feed almost entirely at night ,ex-
cept that they often feed on hens on
nests. Therefore to kill the mite
little progress can be made by treat
ing the hens.
Treatment for Mites.
All roosts and boards and boxes
should be taken down and the entire
inside of the chicken house should be
sprayed with either commercial car
bolineum or crude petroleum. Both
of these materials can be sprayed
more easily if reduced with kerosene
at the rate of about one part kero-
sene to three parts of the other ma
terial. Mites live and breed in all
cracks and therefore it is important
to spray thoroughly. 1t is also ad-
visable to spray a second time a
month after the first.
The. Scaly-leg Mite.
To control the mite which burrows
through the scales on the feet the
legs should be dipped into crude
petroleum being careful not to cover
the upper part of the leg or the
feathers.
Poultry Lice.
Not like the mites, poultry lice re-
main. on the hens constantly and
therefore merely treating the chicken
house will not kill the lice. The
best time of the year for treatment
is during the late summer or early
fall when the weather conditions
are favorable and the young fouls
are well matured.
Treatment.
One of the best materials to use in
destroying lice is sodium fluoride
which may be bought through any of
the drug stores. The price ranges
from 80 cents to SO cents a pound
which is sufficient to dust about 100
hens. Try sodium fluoride if lice are
found throughout the flock.

1emneraturs of Coal Mines.

The bureau of mines says that coal
mines are not warmer In winter and
colder in summer. The heat of the
earth increases one degree for every
100 feet of depth. Coal mines are not
usually very deep and therefore not
affected to any great extent by the
heat Of the earth. The temperature
of the mine depends upon the loca-
ton and depth.
