THE COLORADO APACHE.
Ait an Accurate Moat Tracker He Has
No Equal.
rea a trailer the Colorado Apache has
no equal. Ile possesses the acute in-
ertly:et of the hound combined with an
accurate sense of vision. A turned
teat, a fleck of gravel cast aside,the
W.splacement of a pebble from its bed-
sit' are clear, readable pages.
They ask few if any particulars of
the man they are to follow. They will;
es they progress on hie track, gather
up for themselves one by one little
Items as to his personality, which are
nearly always verified in the end.
When following a -trail over the iron
capped rocks and stony arroyas a Ari -
his face is a picture of intense
concent'ation. Not a syllable escapes
His pace varies from no 'visible
cause. At times he almost rune; then,
;with a rapid glance behind, he glides
along slowly and with eyes glued to
the groand possibly for hours. Here
i; and there may be a few stretches of
sand, but dry sand leaves after the
footstep only an indentation, closing
atter the pressure, so that to the inex-
perienced eye it might have been a
horse or a mule that made it and not a
man.- "Man Trailing With Human
Bloodhounds" in Outing.
Trick Candies.
"The trick cigar has its counterpart
in confectionery," said a candy manu-
facturer the other day. "The callow
youth who delights in giving explosive
cigars to his men friends demands
something similar for the candy con -
sniping sex, and we have to meet the
deittand.
"The possibilities of a cream choco-
late or a piece of nougat are limited,
but we have a few contrivances. We
make of a very hard eandy an imita-
on of a tooth with a gold crown and
hide it in a cream chocolate. You can
imagine the rest -a party of women
munching candy, one of them discover -
lag something hard and finding a gold
crowned tootloose in her mouth!
"Similarly we imitate a bone collar
button in a hard white candy, hide a
candy shoe button in a piece of nougat,
put a bit of cork in a caramel or fill a
candied cherry with red pepper. So
long as the Sanity experts don't weed
oat these alleged jokers the -candy Man
has to put up these trick candies for
them."
Honey.
According to a writer in Health, hon-
ey is a valuable medicine and has
many uses. It is excellent in most
lung and throat affections and is often
used with great benefit in place of cod
liver oil. Occasionally there is a per-
son with whom it does not agree, but
most people can learn to use it with
beneficial results. Children who have
natural appetites generally prefer it to
butter. Honey is a laxative and seda-
tive, and in diseases of the bladder and
kldneyS it is an excellent remedy.
It has much the same effect as wine
or stimulants, without their injurious
effects, and is unequaled in mead and
• harvest drinks. J As an external appli-
cation it is irritating when clear, but
sootbbag when diluted. In many places
it is much appreciated as a remedy for
croup and colds. In preserving fruit
the formic acid it contains makes a
better preservative than sugar sirup,
and it is also used in cooking and con-
fections Honey does not injure the
teeth as candies do.
.A,nelent RuleFor Carvi.
Our ancestors fully recogn1Wd the
value of good carving, and many were
the rules by which a carver Was ex-
pected to be governed. The ancient
'oke of Kervyng," among other
things, adraeinishes him tp touch venison
only with his knife and to "set never on
fyche, fiesch, beeste ner fowle more
than two ryngers and a thumbed' Fin-
gers he was naturally obliged to use
since forks were a luxury of later date
and were not in private use nut' dames
Us reign. Piers Gaveeton, the favor-
tte of Edward II., had three silver
forks for eating pears, but this was re
-
gelded, no -doubt, as a great and spe-
cial luxury.
Cuckoo- Cuatonan In England.
Tlittre are or were not long ago in
different parte of England remnants of
old custo-ms marking the position which
the cuckoo held in the middle ages. In
Shropsaire tiii very recently, when the
first cuckoo was heard, the laborers
were in the habit of leaving their work,
making holiday of the rest of the day
and carousing in what they called
cuckoo ale.. Among the peasantry in
some parts of the kingdom it was COD-
sidek-ed to be very unlucky to have no
money in your pocket when you heard
1 the cuckoo's note for the first time in
the season.
Cholly's Good One.
"Oh, Miss Perkins, 1 have a conun-
dwurn for you. What is the ditrwence
between a jilted fellah who pwetends
he doesn't care and a dish of Dutch
cabbage?"
Miss Perkins --Well, go on. What's
the answer?
Cheily-One's sonah gwapes and the
other's sauaukwaut. Ha, hew! Isn't
that doosid clevah?
Not Sure of Rim.
"Why are you so sure that he loves
you?"
"Because lee stews away from me in
hopes he can overcome the fascination
of my presence. And there is but one
thing- that bothers me -I fear he will
succeed."
A Neat Buil.
An Irishman. prosecuting another
matt for aesault, was asked to explain
the Reetteett. a black eyes.
"Ah," he replied readily, "before he
had time to hit me 1 hit him back."
It runs in the family -a woman's
tongue.

About Flies llaroink Ligletninge
Otte Russian village through which
we passed was the einbodiment of filth
and squalor. A destructive fire was
raging at one end of it, and round this
all the inhabitants were gathered. One
ho se was already burned down, ie sec-
on4 was one mass of flames, and the
fir was rapidly spreeding to a third,
yet not a hand was raised to arrest its
ruinous progress.
"Why on earth don't you put out the
fire?" shouted my companion to one of
the peasants, who approached me with
a servile and wistful look, as if he ex-
pected an offering of money. "Have
• yon no buckets?"
"Surely your excellency deigns to
knew that it isn't buckets we need!"
"Well, it isn't strong arms, either,
faacy. Why don't you go to work?"
"Your grace wouldn't have us fly in
the face of heaven! We've sins enough
on bur souls without adding that black
aline to them. Wasn't it God's own
lightning that set Petroff's house on
fire a couple of hours ago? And bad
as we are, there's not a man in the vil-
lage that would raise his hand to undo
God's holy work."
My friend raised his hand, waved it
deapairingly and we drove en.
"iit's a mere waste of time to reason
wi h them," he said. "They would as
soon commit suicide en masse as put
out a fire that God had kindled with
his lightning."
Good News.

story about a widow in his district who
desired a position in the agricultural
department
`There was no vacancy,7 at that

m anor as possible, and, entering the

'Well, my good woman, what
ne s?'
'Good news,' she said; `good news,
M . Allen.'
'Well,' I said, `I'm glad to hear that.
Aad what is the good news?'
a 'Oh,' she said, 'good news, Mr. Al-
len, good news. A woman in the agri-
cultural department died yesterday."
Jade.
The most precious of all stones, ae
cording to a gem expert, is the jade, on
account of its rarity, its extraordinary
qualities and the mystery of its cutting.
It was regarded as a sacred stone, and
nobody had a right to possess it except
a prince of imperial blood. Argerius
Cletius, a famous physician in Amster-
dam at the thne of the renaissance,
pulelished a work on the jade, or ne-
&title stone, as it wits then called, on
account of Its action on the renal sys-
tea'. At the same period Italian an-
thers spoke of the jade as osiada and
disbussed its wonderful powers for
healing, sciatica.
The legends surrounding this stone

jade are extremely rare, and the world
Is at a loss to know how the °Mufti)

trene1y hard that nothing can make an
impression upon it. i
The First Linen Paper..
Linen cloth -was occasionally used
for writing purposes, but was never
Very comMon. Linen manuseripts have
been found folded in mummy cases,
and the Clainese'before the invention of
paper used silk and cotton cloth. The
!Omens also wrote upon linen. The
use of this material introduced a change
in the manner of writing. The other
substances were rather engraved than
written upon, an iron point being used
for the purpose.
To write upon linen it was necessary
to have some colored fluid wbich might
get dry and leave a 'permanent mark.
Tbe first ink used was probably some
sort of soot or lampblack mixed with
size or gum water, and the tint instru-
ment ansehering to oter pen was a reed.
• Long and Short Hair.
Pranche says: dliong hair was the
distinguishing characteristic of the
Teutonic tribes. It was a mark of the
highest rank among the Franks, none
of whom but the first nobility and
princes of the blood was permitted to
wear it in flovvieg ringlets, an express
law commanding the people to cut their
hair close around the middle of the
forehead." And this badge of servitude
and sign manual of plebeianism in one
century has become the essence of style
and glass of fashion in another, the
freak of ono age, the fancy of another.
Considerate.
A gentleman asked Mary, an only
child, how many sisters she had and
was told "three or four."
Her mother asked Mary, when they
were alone, what had made her tell
such an untruth.
"Why, mamma," cried Mary, "I
didn't want him to think you were so
poor that you hadn't but one child!"

When WoMen Carved.
In George L's reign it was the bound-
en duty of the mistress of a country;
house to carve for her guests. Eti-
quette demanded it of her, and. no lone
might 'relieve her of her arduous task,
not even the master. To the latter was
only assigned the easy labor of passing
the bottle and looking on while •each
joint was plated in turn before his wife
or daughter, as the case might be, and
by her rapidly manipulated. Carving
became one oftthe -branehee of a good
femlnine education, and there were pro-
fessional carving roasters who taught
the young ladies.
Lady Mary W-ortley Montagu took
lessons In the art three times a week
