WONDERS OP CRATER MOUNTA-fa A Descent Into the Wonderful Interior of svn Extinct Volcano. Crater mountain is one of the TJmft tilla Indians great spook depots from anoient times, : Bucks that are now white with the hoary frosts of many winters leoollect hanging in the trees tightly strapped to their nnrsing boards while their . mothers roamed the forests In Bearch of game for the lords of creation or wood for the tepee and from infancy love to relate how the Great Spirit spoke to them with the awful voioe of terrifio thunder in the bowels of the earth. Many are the stories and legends of In dian lore told of Crater mountain. One of the favorite ones is told of a great war between the Shoshones and TJmatillaa. When the TJmatillas had conquered their foes, they proceeded to slaughter old and young, regardless of sex. One beautiful Shoshone maiden, seeing that death was inevitable from her pursuing foes, plunged headlong in to the burning crater, and instantly the volcanio eruption ceased, much to the consternation of her pursuers, who on the following day found, on looking down the chasm of inky darkness, a re splendent light, with the form of the Shoshone maiden in the midst of the apparition. They told it to their 4usky warriors, and to this day Crater moun tain is looked upon with reverence from an Indian point of view. The follqwing is from the diary of the Hon. J. A. Wright: "Crater moun tain is located some 11 miles from the camp of Cornucopia, on the south side of the range, whose caps are tipped with eternal snow. Many chasms and fissures have in the misty past cleft the moun tains and left them in the most fantae tio shapes. Vegetation ceases to grow after a certain height is reached, and close under the base of one of the great peaks is the famous extinct volcano. Ashes and lava are found in great pro fusion and in such indescribable masses that it makes the ascent one of peril and great difficulty. However, onoe at tho top, a peek down into the. black, fathomless abyss snpplies the most mor? bid mind with all the sensationalism necessary for a lifetime. A favorite amusement was to throw rocks down and listen to the Bounds as they struck on the projecting sides of the dark chim ney until the sounds died away, leaving nothing but for the mystified explorer to guess it had reaohed the bottom. " I Many haye been the stories circulated of the wonderful cavern that extended from the sides of the great chimney. A stout cable was provided and a basket swung from a pulley. The Hon. Joseph, with camera and notebook, was careful ly lowered some 378 feet, when he no ticed an aperture in the side of the chimney, and by signals agreed upon a halt was called in his downward career, and he crawled through a deft in the great chimney, and the work of explo ration began. The first sight that met kid astonished gaze was a most stupendous chamber, from whose mighty dome hung stalactites of great beauty, which was enhanced by the light of the can dle and fairly struck terror to his heart as the flickering candle seemed to pos sess the power of some unseen hand that made millions of the brilliant sta lactites dance in resplendent beauty. A great snowy owl blinked at the aston ished Joseph, The explorer groped his way to the far end of the chamber, where he thought,, he heard sounds of falling water, nor was EST mistaken, for, squeezing himself through an opening; he found himself in another chamber of great beauty, with a stream of hot sul phur water running into the earth. The incrustation from the sulphur water had transformed the cavern into a coral like substance and left it in such fantastio shapes. He found in the water some lively- little lizards and some frogs that change color on the slightest provocation and two large rats, who eyed the explorer with a cu riosity that seemed to bode no good, and he longed for his little gun. Baker City (Or. ) Democrat A Well Disciplined Man. Army discipline is supposed to be very strict indeed, and orders must be obeyed swiftly and silently. The best disciplined soldier ever in the Russian army lived in 1777. He was stationed before the dotfcr of the palace during a heavy flood, when the empress, seeing from her balcony that the water had reached the sentinel, called' to him to retire. This the soldier refused to do, and when the empress asked him if he knew who she was the man replied affirmatively. Although he knew her majesty, he would not leave his post un til his corporal relieved him. The water increased until it reached the sentinel's knees. The empress sent sev eral messages to him, but he refused to obey her. Finally she was compelled to summon the corporal, who was found asleep, and he was obliged , to swim to relieve the honest private, who by that time had only his head above water and would composedly have suffered himself to be drowned rather than disobey or ders while obeying his" sovereign. ranaaeipnia Fress.

How to Choose Good Up Salves. . Bad digestion will often assert itself in broken or chapped lips, sores in the corners of the mouth, fever blisters and a coated tongue. Chronio sore mouths should be rubbed with sweet oil or pure glycerin at night In the morning wash with a solution of alum or borax, a tea spoonful in a tumbler of water. Cam phor ice is both healing and cleansing. Good cold cream is not a bad salve. All the druggists have supplies and oheer . fully dispense 5 cent quantities. Citron ointment is one of the old reliable lip alves kept by all chemists; It is applied to the sore with a soft linen cloth. When the mouth is sore, the diet should be changed to vegetable foods. .

One Was an ace, and he said he'd bet me $5 I couldn't pick out that card . after he'd thrown 'em around. It was a game, wasn't it?" "Of course it was!" replied the offi cer, "ile was a tnree cara monra man, and you ought to have known better than to put up your money. How much did you lose?" . "OW I didn't lose! I bet nim three times and made $15. All I wanted to know was what they call the game. I'll write the name down before I forget it. Three card monte. I see! Then the fel low did something else. He pulled out three little cups and a pea and mixed em all up and wanted to bet me I couldn't find the pea. Is that a game?' "Certainly it's a gamethimble rig ging.

The fellow seemed to be greatly disoour aged about something, but he got out a pack of cards and asked me II X couici play poke poke" j You mean poker?" - j "Perhaps I do. Is that a game?' "I should remark! Did you play poker with him?" - - W "I suppose I did. He gave me some cards, took some himself and then said he'd bet $5 on his hand. . I said I'd bet $10 on mine, and when he said $15 1 said $20. Then he flung down his cards. called me a fool and went into the next car." ;. ., "And he gave up the bet?" "Oh, yes; gave it right up. " "And you won $45 of him in all?" "Yes, $45. See? Just $45. That last game was poker, eh? Queer name, but I Buppose it's all right. I'll put it down under the others. That makes three Card monte, thimble rigging and poker. You are sure about it, are you?" "Of course." "Well, that's all right, except about the money. Do you have any orphan asy lums in this town, officer?" "Three or four." "Yes, very glad. I'll hunt them np and divide the money between em. That will be right, won't it?"

Jf "A child can be broken early in years. Thus it is nsnally snnloient to. explain to the child the perniciousness of the 'habit, reqnesting him to be constantly watohfnl r against it in himself and to disoonrage the praotice in every one else. Punishment is nsnally uncalled for. s. ' . " ' Strategy may be " resorted to in case the habit be well established. ; The fin ger ends may be dipped in some harm- , less preparation of a disagreeable or bit ter nature, which will serve to remind the ohild what he is doing. ;' ' Among the' school children of Paris the habit is widely prevalent Of the total, number of children examined, about one-third were given to the prao tice, the greater proportion being among the girls. The age at which the habit was most common was found to be be tween 12 and 15 years! . : 1 . . ' The investigator thinks he has discov ered a ' remarkable relation - between nail biting and a defective or at least an impaired stability of mind and char acter, as all the teachers united in say ing the pupils addicted to nail biting were the poorest students. : The boys were , inclined to effeminacy and the girls to slackness. '; Both sexes showed a lessened ability to sustain the attention and were consequently the hardest pu pils to teach. . . -- : :t : . How to SterUUe Uillri Take a tin pail and have made for it a false bottom perforated with, holes and having legs half an inch high to allow circulation of the water. The bot tle of milk to be treated is set on this false bottom, and the pail is filled with water until it reaches the level of the surface of the milk in the bottle. ' A hole may be punched In the cover of the bot tle, in which a eork is inserted, and the thermometer is put through the cork, so that the bulb dips into the milk, and the temperature can thus be watched without removing the cover. This wa ter is then heated .until the milk reaches a temperature of 155 degrees F when it is removed from the heat and allowed to cool gradually. A temperature of 150 degrees maintained for half an hour is sufficient to destroy any germs likely to be present in the milk, and it is found in practice that raising the temperature to 150. degrees and then allowing it to stand in the heated water until cool in, sure the proper temperature for the re quired time.: IL How to Wave the Hair as at Present .. Worn. . : The hair must no longer be crimped,; but must be laid over the head in large natural looking waves. The secret lies in the fact that the iron is no longer ap plied to the tip of the tress, and the hair wound over it, but the tress, of the hair itself is wound around the iron, beginning as near the scalp as it is com fortable -to hold the heated iron. The parting of the hair, which proved so unpopular when it was first introduced, has been accepted chiefly by those per sons of a Madonna type of face, for they can bear this severe style of hairdress ing. The delicate fringe of ourls which so many maidens still continue to wear is too becoming to the majority of American girls to be driven out of fash ion. IIow to Aoqnire Ughtaess of Step. - Let a girl walk about a room on tip toes, at times balancing a book or sofa pillow on her head, for dignity. If this is done for a half hour each day for a year, she will walk like a queen for ever after. A heavy step and downcast eyes prevent grace, lightness or dignity. How to Live a Century. First. Live as much as possible out of doors, never letting a day pass with out spending at least three or four hours in the open air. Second. Keep all the powers of mind and body occupied in congenial work. The muscles should be developed and the mind kept active. Third. 'Avoid excesses of all kinds, whether of food, drink or of whatever nature they may be. Be moderate in all things. ' - Fourth. -Never despair. Be cheerful at all times. Never give way to anger. Never let the trials of one" day pass over to the next. , ' From 50 to 75 continue some active life and occupation, as the retiring from all this at that age often is the gravest mistake and is suicidal. . On the con trary, rest as much as possible from 75 to 100. Avoid exposure to cold, as bron chitis Is very frequent at that time of life. Best abundantly. One ought thus to attain 100 years. . . How to Make Pocket. It should always be out in a point at the top, never at the bottom unless yon want to turn it inside out every time yon need your articles, and the point firmly sewed to. the belt of the dress. This done, it cannot possibly "sag." Always set it. in a seam or under a.deep plait, near the back, face it up with the -dress material, carefully press all seams, and you can- have two such pockets in one skirt. . , , ,; . How to Select Children's Books. A wise mother never gives any of her children a mere story book for a present except those which deal with historical events and personages. In this way they obtain the "local color" of those times and people, even if it is all colored try the author's prejudices. Every such book interests the readers in its char- acters sufficiently to - encourage the bringing out of their histories, the look ing up of other authorities and the eager discussion of what was to be found con cerning the heroes and heroines whose adventures had been described. There are plenty of such stories for every age.
