A Gospel or Mission Ship would be -of immense advantage for the Catho- lic missionaries of Old Providence Is- land, Bay Islands, Cayman and other islands of the Caribbean sea. The ship is to be a memorial of the Jubilee of the Definition of the Immaculate Con- ception and Is to be baptised "The Im- macula ta." After several unsuccessful appeals, the following suggestion is hereby made in order to procure the necessary funds: Let the mother in each Catholic fam- ily from Dec 8 to Jan. 8 put up in her home a box for jubilee offerings, all the members of the family to drop into the box an offering during the jubilee month—even the little ones should save some of their spending pennies for the purpose. A register in bookform, con- taining the names of all contributors, will be kept in the main cabin of {.};•» shin as a perpetual souvenir. After Jan. 9 the offerings may be forwarded to Rev.

At a meeting of the Buffalo Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, held Wednesday afternoon, the ques- tion of the nature of entertainment to be given in January for the benefit of the Continental hall and for estab- lishing a permanent fund for the chap- ter, was not decided, but after consid- erable discussion it was voted to leavts It with the executive committee with full power. Mrs. John Miller Horton, the regent. perslded, and among the reports read was that of the registrar, Mrs. Carl A. Lautz, who stated that five members were lost through death, transfers and resignations, making the total 495. The chapter Is entitled to four delegates and five alternates, as the regent is a delegate ex-officio, to the continental congress in Washington in April. But as the membership is certain to reach 500 before April, the chapter yesterday appointed a provisional delegate, with extra alternates. The delegates are as follows: Mrs. Trueman G. Avery, Mrs. Jessie Peter- son of this city, Mrs. George A. Plimp- ton, Mrs. Richard W. Goode, Mrs. Chas. J. North. The^ regular alternates are ! Mrs. Charles Rohlfs, Miss Elizabeth Codd, Mrs. E. C. Field, Mrs. Harry Wlalbridge, Mrs. John. F. Lewis, Mrs. EL A. Bowerman. The provisional al- ternates are Mrs. Tracy C. Becker, Mrs. Clarence M. Fen ton, Miss Charlotte Tilden, Mrs: Homer J. Grant, Mis. Philip Reidpath of Niagara Falls, Mr s . William Hodge and Mrs. Frank B. Steele. Mri Horton read a telegram from Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks, president- general of the National D. A. R., seiu in reply to the congratulatory message i forwarded her at the last meeting. Mrs. Charles S. Dakin gave a brief report of Lee's Military Genius. One day during the war between the states General Lee sent for General Gordon and said to him: "Take these regiments"—mentioning some—"and go to Spottsylvania. Be there tomorrow morning." In surprise. General Gordon asked why troops were needed at that partic- ular spot. "Because," replied General Lee, "Grant will be there." Nothing had been heard of Grant's movements for a long time, but Gen- eral Gordon supposed General Lee had had some dispatches which had in- formed 1dm of Grant's nearness. He asked if this was so. "No," said Lee, "but Grant ought to be there, and he will be." Lee was a great general himself and knew what a great general should do. He had studied out Grant's plans from the place where he last heard of him and decided where he would next make his appearance. General Gordon went to Spottsylva- nia. Grant was there, and one of the fiercest battles of the war was fought. CAYENNE PEPPER. •fry a Are The Buffalo Wallowa. A curiosity of the plains is the buffa- lo wallows. There has not been a buffalo in them for years, but they are the same today as they were genera- tions or even centuries ago. They are no longer frequented by cattle, of course, and therefore not freshly worn, but they remain to this day barren and black amid the vast plain of living green. In the spring they stand full of water until the advancing summer sun evaporates It, and then they are bar- ren and black again. They are perfect circles, some large as a circus ring, and their basins are packed firm and hard by the tread and roll of many genera- tions of the bison. Another recollec- tion here of t h,< * extinct race is the buffalo birds, which abound in great numbers. Their function now, as in the time of the bison, is to pick insects from the backs of the cattle which feed on the plains. Sometimes twenty or more feed on a steer's back, while the steer calmly and with evident pleasure munches buffalo grass.—Kan- sas City Star. ^ l ' ; -_ .*«£' It Was All Good. Mr. Jones was very fond of a kind of boiled pudding his wife made, so, says London Answers, when she had gone away for an afternoon and evening she promised that she would leave one of the favored puddings In the saucepan for his evening meal. "Well," she said on her return, "and how did the pudding go down?" "Soo-preme!" said Tom, smacking his lips at the recollection. " 'Twas as good a pudding as you have ever made." "That's good," was the gratified re- sponse of lire. Jones. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. What did you do with the cloth?" For a moment Mr. Jones solemnly surveyed her. "What!" he said.

The true ideal that should fill a man's* heart and fire his energies is excellence in his own sphere, the living of his own particular life just as fully and nobly as he—not somebody else—can. True, this is an unknown quantity, but it Is a real and attainable one. Day by day it is rising, and day by day a man may feel conscious of increased power. Whither it may lead him he cannot tell, but that by its guidance he will go farther and accomplish more than by any other he may rest assured, Attempting nothing impossible, he Is doomed to no inevitable disappoint- ment, nor is there any limit at which he may cease to strive.—Self Help. Sandwich of It if Yon Troubled With Insomnia. "Did you ever try a cayenne pepper sandwich?" This question was asked a lady to whom sleepless nights were growing to be an almost unendurable burden. "Not that, but I have tried about everything else," was the discouraged answer. "I don't suppose, however, that it would do me any more good than the thousand and one things 1 have tried." "I have suggested the remedy to a great many people similarly afflicted, and in every instance good results have followed. I wish you would let me make you one." The haggard face of the sleepless woman told its own story. She lan- guidly assented to her friend's request, with little or no faith in its efficacy, yet willing, like the proverbial drown- ing man, to "catch at a straw" that promised any relief. A cracker was forthwith produced and quite generously buttered. A lib- eral sprinkling of cayenne pepper was then added, the two halves put togeth- er and the patient requested to par- take of the spicy concoction. Strange as it may seem, but little inconvenience was experienced. The slight smarting sensation in the month was soon over, and no unpleasantness was felt in the stomach. The cracker was eaten Just before retiring, and very soon after the patient was sleep- ing peacefully. The pepper acted as a stimulant to the stopiach, drawing the blood from the excited brain and inducing a night of more refreshing sleep than had been experienced for a long time. The rem edy was repeated the next night, with the same result A cayenne pepper sandwich is much less harmful than drugs and when taken in email quan- tities is a good tonic for a weak stom- ach. Sick headache has also been known to yield to a cup of hot water to which have been added a generous pinch of cayenne pepper and a nip of soda as big as a pea.-Table Talk. • »J1«J HWW IU I IX It I.

A Pineapple Plantation. The first operation in starting a pine* apple plantation is to cut off the ham- mock growth and clear the area, though the stumps of the larger trees are left standing. The "slips," which are simply growths from the old plants, are usually put in with a point- ed stick at the rate of 12,000 to the acre. The first crop matures in about eighteen months, and when three crops are secured, in as many years, the fields are abandoned for this culture, the surface again cleared and planted in tomatoes. Facta About Breathing:' In the ordinary respiration of man 10 or 17 cubic inches of atmospheric air pass into the lungs 20 times a min- ute, or a cubic foot every 5*4 minutes— 274 cubic feet in 24 hours. The lungs hold 280 cubic feet. At each respira- tion 1.375 of oxygen is converted into carbonic acid gas. The nitrogen in- spired and expired is exactly equal. During the act of inspiration the lungs have been found to be the coldest parts of the body. $16.00 Buffalo to Chicago and Return ' via the Nickel Plate Road, l^ow round trip rates to Intermedi- ate points.

"Thieves resort to clever methods in order to get away with the goods," said an old police officer, "and I am firmly convinced that if the criminals of the world would devote the same amount of time, talent and patience to think- ing out uplifting and advantageous schemes for humankind they would In a short while revolutionize the world In many useful ways. But somehow the mind of the criminal seems to be sharper, if I may say it, and bright- er and quicker than the mind of the honest man. The fact may be ex- plained Jhn any pumber pf ^ayj, jya tb& first place, "the criminal has noth- ing to do but think out some plan of getting something that doesn't be- long to him. Tnat Is his special busi- ness. Quite naturally the plan he works out under those circumstances will often startle even the oldest men in the police departments of the coun- try. Who would have thought of the wire saw, a thing so small that it can be slipped in between the layers of the shoe sole, but the criminal who found in it a ready, convenient and unfailing means of escape? He is constantly thinking up some new scheme. Here we find a man and woman in a Jewelry Store. The woman carries a parrot with her. The bird suddenly gets away and begins to flutter around in the store. The Jeweler is afraid the parrot will break something. He tries to catch it and succeeds after a short while. A small purchase is made. The man and the woman leave. Result, several hun- dred dollars' worth of Jewelry gone. It was stolen during the excitement over the bird. Good scheme, eh? Yet it is but one out of a million worked by the clever degenerates of the world." — New Orleans Times-Demo- crat The Spinning; Wheel In Ireland. Tbe spinning wheel and the flax wheel are still found in the Irish cot tages, where many a girl has her wed- ding dowry of linen and homespun made at home. Although it is more the task of the older women, there are still girls who do their spinning stint and lay by a certain amount for their wedding outfit. A pleasant sight it is to see the elderly women outside their cottage doors spinning the flax or the wool. As long as the weather is warm the sturdy Irishwoman, old or young, scorns a roof except to sleep under. The free air and sunshine are hei choice, and the sweet sky is the fair- est roof.
