Breeding Chinese Pheasants.
Present Indications are that in a
few years Minnesota will contain a
good stock of Chinese pheasants as a
result of the Introduction of that
gamy bird of beautiful plumage by the
State Game and Fish Commission.
The commission has 312 young birds
ready for distribution In small quan

they can be guaranteed protection
from hunters for 10 years, which the

Killing Game In Mexico.
A remarkable hunt which took
place In the northern part of Coahul

Monolova, In that state. A party, of
which about 75 were hunters, went on
a deer hunt, through the mountains,
being out eight days. The 75 hunters
killed 800 deer, an average of 100 a
day, or more than one deer a man a
day. There ha been some criticism

i Battleship Models.
By the English Admiralty's orders
perfect models are made in paraffin
wax of every new battleship before it
Is laid down, and these models are
tested in a tank, being 400 feet long
and 20 feet wide. They are made of
wax because It is a material which
does not absorb water or change its
weight, so that alterations can be
easily made and the material can be
melted up and used again.
NEVER TIRES
Of the Food That Restored Her to
Health.
if
"My food was killing me and I
didn't know the cause," writes a Colo,
young lady: "For two years I was
thin and sickly, suffering from indi
gestion and inflammatory rheuma
tism. "I had tried different kinds of diet,
plain living and many of the reme
dies recommended, but got no better.
"Finally, about five weeks ago,
mother suggested that I try Grape
Nuts, and I began at once, eating it
with a little cream or milk. A
Change for the better began at once.
"To-day I am well and am gaining
weight and strength all the time.
I've gained 10 lbs. in the last five
weeks, and do not suffer any more
from indigestion and the rheumatism
Is all gone.
"I know It is to Grape-Nuts alone
that I owe my restored health. I
still eat the food twice a day and
never tire of it." Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
The flavor of Grape-Nuts is pecu
liar to itself. It is neutral, not too
sweet and has an agreeable, healthful
quality that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism
Is from overloading the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion nnd assimilation.
As soon as improper food is aban
doned and Grape-Nuts Is taken regu
larly, digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and of carrying
away the excess of disease-making
material from the system.
The result is a certain and steady
return to normal health and mental
activity. "There's a reason." Rend

CLEANING HAIR BRUSHES.
Valuable brushes, such as those
with ivory or tortoiseshell backB, may
be thoroughly cleansed by using brau
instead of soap and water. The brush
Is dipped into bran, which must be
rubbed Into the bristles as one would
soap, and the particles may afterward
foe removed by tapping the brush
bristles downward on the table. The
.process la somewhat lengthy, but it
prevents the bristles from becoming
softened, as they Inevitably must bo
if wotted. When every trace of. bran
ha3 been removed, the brush will be
found to be perfectly clean, and may
then be wiped with a soft silk hand
kerchief. MEANING OF DOMESTIC ECON
OMY. Did you ever ask .yourself the mean
ing of the term domestic economy?
Most likely you never did. Notwith
standing the growing popularity of
this branch of study, there is no sub
ject the name and nature of which
is eo generally misunderstood.
Some young women think It means
"cookery and laundry lessons;" oth
ers think "scrapping and saving"
would more fitly define it, while dim
ideas of go-called mental duties and
domestic drudgery float through the
brains of others.
But these are "small nlbbllngs at
the outer bark" of the truth, which
Is that domestic economy is a saving
knowledge, a knowledge which relates
to the intelligent and cutllvated man
agement of everything connected with
the home.
It is the science of the home, and
pre-eminently a woman's science.
It is the woman's .work to make the
house into a home. Every woman
ought to know how to do all things
necessary to make a home happy, says
Woman's Life.
The husband earns the money, but
the principal part of it has to be spent
by the wife. Hence it is very Im
portant that all girls should learn do
mestic economy. But please remem
ber that domestic economy is one of
those things that cannot be learned
from books aolne.
WINTER SALADS HOUSE.
Last fall I felt that in order to be
perfectly happy in my garden I must
find a place for a cold house or pit.
The house Is a lean to 66 feet long,
and six feet wide. The terrace wall,
which is elx feet high; was used as
the back or high wall of the houso.
The upper ends of the sashes rested
on the top of the wall which was built
up two inches with cement grooves
to fit the sashes. The lower ends
of the sashes rested in a groove made
of cement on a brick wall, which was
two feet high. To cover this house
I used 22 3 by 6 feet sashes. Six
of the sashes were cut and hinged,
bo they could be opened as needed
for ventilation. The north end of the
house was built up solid with brick,
while a door was made in the south
end. The walls are made or brick,
washed down with cement.
While I do not remember what the
whole cost of the house was, I do
know that all of the material used
(excepting the sashes) was worth
about $60. This house has no fire
heat, but derives Its warmth from the
sun. During the cold weather the
sashes are covered at night with straw
mats. Garden Magazine.
EMBROIDERED PINCUSHION.
A long, narrow pincushion that is
designed to stand against the back of
the bureau Is of white linen done in
eyelet embroidery. The top Is really
a linen doily that is larger than the
pincushion itself, so that a border is
formed which is finished In an irregu
lar scallop done in buttonhole etiteh.
Slits are cut and buttonholed in
the top and ribbon is run thro-jgn
them and tied in two stiff little bows
at the top and bottom, directly in
the center. The cover is made up
over a colored silk lining the same
shade as the ribbon, which gives an
opportunity for carrying out the col
or scheme of a bedroom.
RECIPES
Lemon Ice Cream. Squeeze a lem
on and strain the Juice upon as much
fine sugar as it will absorb, pour 3
q-aarts of cream into it very slowly,
stirring fast all the time. Another
simple but very good recipe is: Heat
a quart of. milk hot, but do not let
it boll. Add the yolks of 4 eggs,
beaten with a coffee cup of sugar, and
flavor with lemon or vanilla. Choco
late cream can be made by adding
some powdered chocolate and mix be
fore freezing. Also peaches or straw
berries can be used for a change.

NEW YEAR PROMISES MUCH
No Excessive Stocks Carried Over
and Results of Inventories Equal
Sanguine Anticipations.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s "Review of
Trade" Bays:
"The New Year opens bright with
promise In business circles no ex
cessive stocks being carried over, and
results of Inventories fully equal san
guine anticipations. It is especially
noticenble iu dispatches from the
West that there was less than the
customary lull In business during the
holiday season, while bargain sales
are rapidly disposing of the moderate
supplies remaining on hand.
''In the leading Industries contracts
on the books are very large and plants
operate full time, except where ma
terials or fuel cannot be secured or
finished products cannot be forwarded
to consumers. There Is much com
plaint from the Northwestern flour
mills on this point and export trade
Is also restricted because grain and
other merchandise fall to reach the
seaboard promptly. This delay may
be attributed part of the decrease of
$1,749,(105 in exports from the port of
New York for the last week as com
pared with the movement a year ago,
while Imports exceeded the very heavy
total for the previous year by $1,
81,690. "Many new contracts for a large
tonnage of Bteel appeared during the
past year, notably structural mater
ial for San. Francisco. Railway re
quirements show no abatement, few
contracts being considered, however,
except for delivery in the last half of
this year.
"Prices of pig iron have risen close
to the position of 1900, but finished
products are still much lower as to
standard figures.
''Meanwhile the railroads do not
move the pig iron as desired and many
mills are running on light Btocks. Tin
plate mills have Bmall stocks and large
orders, making prices strong, but tin
was depressed by large statistics of
visible supply.
"Business in the primary market
for textiles has been Interrupted by
the holidays and inventories, but work
Is progressing in preparation of new
lines for the coming Beason. A few
sales of sheetings have been made
to China, the first export business
from that quarter for a long time, and
more orders could have been secured
by the making of moderate conces
sions. MARKETS.

HUMAN RACE DYING OUT.
Dr. Mealier Finds the Birth Rate it

Every Land.
The statistics just published by Dr.
Mesller on the depopulation of the
whole world are startling.
Dr. Mesller says that this Is net
only caused by artificial means, but
also because tho whole human race
is gradually dying out. Taking the
years of ISS1 to 1903 he snys that for
every thousand married women from
15 to 65 years of age taken from diff

Smokeless Powder.
The color of the modern smokeless
powder has the shade of dark amber.
In the sense of a powder being a fine
ly divided solid, smokeless powder Is
no powder at all. It consists of a
waxllko composition, the size of the
"grains" varying according to the
calibres of the guns. For use In re
volvers, rifles and sporting guns, the
grains resemble the tiny perforated
glass bends of the sort used In old
time needlework. For the machine
guns, the rapid-fire guns and the heavy
rifles of battleships and forts, the
grains are cylindrical In shape, vary
ing in size from a third of an inch In
diameter and half an Inch in length
to three-fourths of an inch in dia
meter and about two Inches in length
each grain, in order to increase the
area exposed to ignition, being per
forated equl-dlstantly and longitudin
ally with from one to six holes, big
as knitting needles, depending upon
the size of the grain.

Snakes, the objects of terror to
most Europeans In eastern lands, are
worshiped In many parts of India. In
some districts there are from 15,000
to 20,000 shrines dedicated exclusive

shrines, which are Invariably In hon

maintenance and for the cost of the
numerous ceremonies which their
keepers have to perform. In these
shrines the Hindus set up fantastic

this strange religion make periodical

What is
Is it
a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic.
or is it Both .'
Some people mil Pcruna a great tonic. Others refer to reruns as
gryut t-uturrli remedy.
Which of those people are right? Is It more proper to call Peruna al
i-nturrh remedy than to cull It a tonlcV
Our reply Is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Inf
deed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that Is nut also a tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any case of cntnrrli, a remedy must not
only have a epecltic action on the mucous membranes affected by the ca
turrh, but it must Imve a general tonic action on the nervous system.
Cutnri li, even in persons who are otherwise strong, Is a weakened con
clitlou of some mucous membrane. There must be tioinetlilng to strengthen
the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces.
Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world tins attracted so much at
tention from medical writers as 1IYDHASTI8 CANADENSIS. Tho wonfter
ful clllciiey of this herb has been recognized many years, and Is growing in
Its hold upon the niedirnl profession. When joined with CUISEBS and!
COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes
specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress)
can not he improved upon.. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics
as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, COKVDALIS FOIUiOSA and CEDItON
SEED, ought to make this compound nn ideal remedy for cuturrh in all ita
stages and locations in the body.
From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Pcruna is beyond criticism.
The use of Perunn confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from
every qtnirter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this Judgment is not
over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded the
ory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken.

No external remedy ever yet devised
has so fully and unquestionably met these
three prime conditions as successfully as
Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because
they contain no deleterious drupti and are
manufactured upon scientific principles ol

goes into them except ingredients which
are exactly adapted to the purposes for
which a plaster is required. They art
speedy in their action because their medic

Animal Thieves of Africa.
The northwestern district of
Rhodesia In particular abounds In
every description of big game ele
phant, hippotamus, giraffe, zebra, Hon,
buffalo, rhinoceros nnd antelope, with
other members of the deer family too
numerous to mention. (Even from the
railway great herds of game can be
seen and are in some cases quite a
nuisance.
Tho elephants, for Instance, have
some rooted and unaccountable ob
jections to the mile pegs by the rail
way line, and cause endless annoy
anco by their habit of pulling them
out of the ground with their trunks.
Tho baboons, too being expert
thieves, and even burglars, are a
considerable nuisance, particularly to
storekeepers, of whose goods Uiey
manage to filch a surprising quan
tity. Baboon hunting Is a very popu
lar sport, and the quarry is abund
ant so abundant, In . fact, as to bo
dangerous on occasion. No single

rifle, will venture to molest a troop
of baboons on the raid. Another
nuisance to farmers Is the tebi cat,
a little tigerish beast which causes
great havoc in unprotected fowl

Earth's Interior Iron.
Frequent earthquakes of late have
enormously increased scientific curi
osity about the earth's Interior. On
this subject Sir Oliver Lodge obser
ves in Nature that 'it has long been
suspected that the earth is an iron
planet, and now, through the work of
Strutt and others, the evidence both
for and against is intensifying. It is
just worth noting, as a matter of sim
ple arithmetic, that a core of metal
lic Iron of density 7, covered with a
crust of rock 500 miles thick, of den
sity 2.5, together make up average
terrestrial density D.C, but recent evi
dence points to a crust much thinner
than the above. It is to be hoped
that the 'boring' proposals of the Hon.
Charles Parsons will before long at
tract the attention they deserve."
Consumption of Matches.
It is estimated that the United King
dom alone manages to consume 500,
000,000 matches a day, which comes
out at about 12 for every man, wo
man and child. Smokers probably
account for the greater number, so
that they will be Interested to know
that about 90 tons of wood are used
up in the form of matches every day,
or about 30,000 tons n year. If one
day's consumption of matches were
placed end to end they would extend
for a distance of about 15,000 miles.
Sweden and Norway, where matches
nre made in enormous quantities, ex
port over 25,000 tons of wooden
matches every year. In France, where
the tax on matches averages 8 cents
an inhabitant, the consumption is
comparatively small.
