?????? Koyal Buekirheats. j For generations it has been the cne- | torn to mix the batter for buckwheat cakes with yeast or emptyings, retaining a portion of the batter left over from one morning to raise the cakes for the following day. i If kept too warm, or not used promptly, this batter becomes excessively 60ur and objectionable. Buckwheat cakes raised by this means are more often sour or heavy than light and sweet. If eaten daily they dis* -A -l* Aanoa fitin OTTITV iress ioe sioumuu anu vouov r . lions and itching. Instead of the old-fashioned way we have been making buckwheat cakes this winter with Royal Baking Powder, mixing the batter fresh daily, and find the result wonderfully satisfactory. They are uniformly light and sweet, more palatable and wholesome, and can be eaten continuously without the slightest digestive inconvenience. Besides they are mixed and baked in a moment, requiring no time to rise. Following is the receipt used: Two cups of pure buckwheat flour (not "prepared" or mixed), one cup of wheat flour, two tablespoons of Royal , Baking Powder and one-half teaspoonfui of salt, all sifted well together. Mix with milk into a thin batter and bake at once on a hot griddle. Once properly tested from this receipt, no other buckwheat will find its way to your table.?Domestic (Joofcery. Unwise Economy. Do not bay anything that is not needed because it is cheap. Nothing is cheap to a purchaser that does not meet an immediate want. Goods laid away rot, grow old-fashioned, yellow, and lose in value monthly. Bargain counters are dangerous foes to true economy, unless a woman has the clearheaded wisdom to decide exactly what she needs to purchase in advance, and the firmness of character to resist the wily assaults of the salesman who makes unnecessary purchases seem attractive at the moment. If you need articles displayed on the bargain counters, look for them there; if not, avoid these fascinating displays as you would a moral pestilence, lest they prove too much for resistance. I know the force of the bargain counter,* for I have, alas! mourned the waste of good dollars when too late, and bitterly repented me of articles for which I could find no rational use except the missionary box; and even thus disposed, my conscience has reproached me for questionable charities.?Jenness Miller's Monthly.

Wonderful Intelligence Displayed by the Bulky Animals?Two of Them Act as Bosses of the Herd. P1SPLAYS of trained animals, broken for show purposes, cannot offer the slightest comparison in interest in the trained elephant exhibition one sees in the city ofMoulmein, British Burmah. The more absorbingly entertaining featnre of the novel sight i6 the paradoxically industrial character which the work of these huge Indian pachyderins assumes. It hardly seems possiI ble that the work of a sawmill, usually done by human hand6. could be accomplished through the medium of the elephant's trunk and the elephant's sagacity; nevertheless, it is a fact that the Irawadi Steamship Company U6es some forty or fifty elephants in the operation of its sawmills at Moulmein, and the teakwook so largely entering upon the construction of ships is here made ready for the hands of the artisan. A gentleman lately ret-urneu irom ? tour of the East, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, give6 an interesting account of the manner in which the mills are operated. The.. logs are chopped in the interior and floated several hundred miles down the Salwin River to the mill, which is situated on the banks of the stream at Moulmein. i Here the logs are formed into a boom, and henoeforth the work of transporting is done by tbe elephants. The boom is very similar to those we see in the lumbering districts of Wisconsin and Michigan, but instead of the sight of men brightly garbed in red and blue running from log to log and moving .them with long, steelpointed poles, we see great, ponderous elephants wading and swimming among the teak logs and pushing them I toward the shore. The logs are not sawed directly from the water, but are first seasoned, and the elephants not only bring the logs from the water to the land, but PILING CP rIbt stack them in huge piles, convey them 1o the mills, saw them, and - *A 3 ?A IntmkAM Of rtATIVDfi aiierwam put; iuc lumuci. v* wmm, each elephant performs only certain parts of the work for which he has been trained, and the entire herd is divided into companies, of from two to eight. One division of the pachyderms does the work in the water, another company carries the logs to the drying or eeasoning stacks, others pile them, another class conveys the dry logs to the mill, where some of the elephants do the work of sawing, still others pile the sawed lumber, and another herd carries hay and prepares the food for the great industrial combination of brute strength and intelligence. But the most wonderful, interesting, novel and most incredible feature of the entire combination is the sight of two monstrously large male elephants that actually act as bosses or overseers of the work. These move from place to place among the working elephants, spurring them on, pushing, driving and frequently chastising a lazy or recalcitrant member of the force. Very few men are needed to direct the elephants in their work. From PREPARING DINNER. ^ix to eight of the animais usually 'work in the water. These wade or swim, according to the depth of the water, to tbe log boom, and loosening several logt at a time tow them to the shore at a certain point. Each of the company of elephants that convey the logs from this point to the drying place has a chain attached to his neck and reaching to the ground. At the bottom of this chain is a loop, through which the log is run. A man directs the movements of the elephants in placing the log within the coil of the chain. The elephant picks up another log by his trunk, and iu this manner drags two at a time to the seasoning stacks. About eight elephants are employed in this capacity. The work of piling the logs to dry is done by two female elephants. Each winds her trunk about the log near the end, and together they raise it in a horizontal positiuu ami place it ou the stack. After the logs are dried sufficiently the}- are ready for the mill. Two female elephants take the dry logs from the piles and deliver them to a herd similar in training to those working between the water and the seasoning stacks. These take the logs to a track over which a small car runs to the mill. Only one log at a time is placed upon this car. As soon as a log is in position on the car an elephant, trained for this particular part of the wet, pushes the car to the mill. Arrived at the mil1, the log ie pushed from the car to a carrier mat passeii beneath a buzzsaw. As Boon as the log jb thus transferred to the carrier the elephant operating the car returns for another log, while another huge t beast, trained to do the sawing, oper- < ate6 the carrier and pushes the log s against the saw. But the interesting r part of the work does not end here, i for, as the log is being sawed into the desired boards and timbers, another i elephant receives the completed ma- t terial, piling the slabs on one side and ^ more valuable product on the other. 1 But two men are required to oversee i and direct the elephants used in saw- i in*? the logs. e Another detachment of the herd is I used in carrying the lumber from the mill to the yards and sheds. For this purpose very long trucks -with the low , front and back wheels close to each 5 other are used. There are elephants 3 trained for loading the sawed material , upon these trucks, while others push ^ the loaded trucks to the sheds. In the lumber yard are the "pilers" or ele- t phants that take the lumber from the i rno BntrrviMM. ] trucks and place it in piles for further ] seasoning. 1 As stated before, there is one detachment of this strange army of labor- ' ers which does the "kitchen work" for 1 the "hotel de elephant," or whatever ; the feeding-place of these big fellows may be called. Some may be seen < carrying hay for the stables, but by 1 far the most interesting sight is the preparation of the food. ITais is composed of grass, bran and molasses, and is mixed in a large vat. While some are carrying these different components of this highly delectable elephantine boarding-house hash, others ii ; THE LOGS. are engaged in mixing it with pestles ] which they dexterously manipulate with their trunks. The narrator ob- , served one of the elephants suddenly stop in hie work with the pestle and ] refused to wield his mixingstick any fnrther. One of the two big elephants was called to the scene, and picking up the recalcitrant pestle beat him with it over the back and hips until 1 he whiningly returned to his work. Only about ten men are employed ] in directing the work of the entire herd of elephants. Those who have seen thi6 novel mill at Moulmein in J operation all agree in giving it the credit of being the greatest exhibition ! of trained animals in the world and 1 say that Hagenbeck'e, and, in fact, all 1 other trained animal shows are simply 1 nowhere near "in line" with it The 1 mill hands, or more properly speak- 1 ing, the mill trunks of the instiution, have never yet gone out on a strike. ? ] Picayune. i Home ol the Wild Horse, , A correspondent says in a Texas pa per: "I believe tnis is tne greatest horse country in the world. It was certainly his home in the wild state, ' which proves, I think, that it was adapted to his wants. He was roam- ] ing this vast prairie country long be- J fore the white man concluded to make ' it his home, and he is here still within < twenty mileB or less of this place, it is said, but this may be a little doubtful; ] but 150 or 200 miles west of here he i abounds in large droves, and from what I learned of parties that know the term 'wild' fits them extremely well, for they can sniff you from two to five miles away, and, at the signal of the horse on guard, they bound away, and by the time the fleetest horse can catch them, though he have the staving qualities of the old fourmile repeater, he is completely exhausted."

The simple heart that freely aske in love obtains. The society of women is the element of good manners. Better a little chiding than a great deal of heartbreak. A man in earnest finds means, or if he cannot find, creates them. Some men weave their sophistry til) their own reason is entangled. Moderation is commonly firm, and firmness is commonly successful. Oh, how portentous is prosperity! How, cometlike, it -threatens while it shines. No woman is educated who is not equal to the successful management of a familv. The memory has as many moods ae the temper, and shifts ite scenery like a diorama. There are few wild beasts more to be dreaded than a talking man having nothing to say. He that knows the world will not be bashful; he who knows himself will hot be impndent. Conceit is vanity driven from all other shifts, and forced to appeal tc itself for admiration. Philadelphia's Colossal Strncture. A colossal statue of William Penn, standing 537 feet in the air, is to overlook from the tower of the Philadelphia City Hall, that city's great area of red brick. The enormous structure that the founder's statue is to cap and complete is the largest and by far the costliest City Hall in the United States. The first official steps looking to the erection of a new municipal building for Philadelphia were taken by the City Councils nearly a quarter of a century ago. John Mc Arthur, Jr., was appointed architect a year later, and tho first contracts for the work were award* ed in January, 1870. The first intent to erect the building in Independence Square aroused so much opposition that the question of a site was submitted to popular vote, and Penn Square, at Broad and Market streets, was chosen by a large majority. Ground was formally broken by the President of the Building Commission August 76, 1871, and the first stone was laid almost exactly one year later. The cornerstone, at the northeast angle of the tower, was formally laid July 4, 1874, and the last block of marble on the tower was put in place at a height of nearly 340 feet thirteen years later. The appropriations for the still uncompleted building had reached, at the opening of the present fiscal year, less $30,000 short of $15,000,000. Architect McArthur died in 1890, when about $13,000,000 had been spent upon the building, and when part of the structure had been several years in use. The Philadelphia municipal building is classified as nearly as may be as of the Renaissance style, and its design is essentially in the spirit of French architecture. Its ugliest feature is its series of black slated mansard roofs capping a structure of whitd rmar'hlo i+.? nrmnt. Vlfantifnl t.hfi Rlpnflftr white tower, the highest in the world save the obelisk that forms the Washington Monument. The structure is built about a central court, 200 feet square.

Australian advices show that the gold hunger continues to tempt men to face the terrors of. thirst and heat in the attempt to cross the trackless and waterless waste guarding the treasures of the Coolgerdie region. Though several thousand persons have gathered about Coolgardie, so immense is the auriferous area that only the most cursory search has yet been made. At pointi a1! over the territory of 13,000 square miles gold has been found, both alluvial and in reefs, and it is only the fatal absence of water which has prevented the establishment of the greatest mining camp of the world.
