Escapes Again Elude Pursuers,
Though a Strong Cordon Had
Been Thrown Around Them.
Other Conflicts Reported.
Reports of an encounter between
members of the state militia and thirteen convicts who escaped from Folsom prison, were in Placeville, Cal.
Saturday night, but owing to the remoteness of scene of battle and the fact that night 'tell almost immediately following the receipt of the first news details were meagre. It is known, however, that the sheriff's posse, assisted by a force of the Placeville militia, came upon some of the fugitives near the Grand Victory mine about dusk and shots were exchanged.
Lieutenant Smith and seven men were pursuing a trial that had been discovered earlier in the day. Their first intimation of the presence of the convicts was when the latter opened five on them at close range from a hiding place in the bushes. Three members of Lieutenant Smith's squadron fell at the first volley. They were Rutherford, Jones and Gill. The soldiers returned the fire of the outlaws, and at the same time ran down the hill and left the fallen men to take care of themselves. Gill managed to make his way down the hill to a place of safety and was picked up by friends. Fearful of the bullets of the convicts, the pursuers made no attempt to get back to the scene of the battle to learn the fate of the other two men. Meagre news of the conflict spread quickly and in a few hours the hill was surrounded by a large force, including the entire strength of the Placerville company. Nearby and cooperating with the militiamen was a posse of citizens from Placerville, headed by the sheriff's son, Dallas Bosquill. They were within sound and sight of the fighting, but dared not fire for fear of hitting the militiamen.
Lleutenant Smith says there were four convicts in the band that opened fire on his men, but he was unable to identify any of them except the negro Seavis. It was impossible to have a cordon extended around the hill for some hours. The cordon covered nearly two miles and required over a hundred men. Before the picket lines could be formed, the convicts got away eastward along the creek. In their haste they left a water can, several hats and some firearms on the hillside where the conflict occurred.
The dead bodies of Rutherford and W. C. Jones, the two militiamen who were shot by the outlaws, were found Sunday morning where they had fallen. Jones had served in the Philippines as a member of the First Tennessee and the Thirty-seventh volunteer United States infantry. Al Gill, the national guardsman, who was shot through one lung, is not expected to recover.
Another report states that four of the convicts, not believed to be the same who ambushed the officers Sunday, were discovered near Lotus, in the Webber creek district, by a posse. A number of shots were exchanged, but so far as known without result.
LIGHTNING BOLT KILLS' THREE.

A New York dispatch says: Lawrence Murphy, former treasurer of the Journeymen Stonecutters' union, who was arrested last December, charged with embezzling $12,000 from the organization and convicted of grand larceny, has been sentenced to five years and six months in state's prison.
Judge Newburger scored the prisoner severely, saying that he had spent the funds of the union in riotous living, and that his total stealing amounted to $27,000.
The Savannah
Postmaster General Payne Returns to Washington and Taiks of Scandal in His Department.
A Washington dispatch says: Postmaster General Payne resumed his official duties at the department Saturday. He had a long conference with his assistants during the morning and for several hours talked over the investigation with Fourth Assistant Bristow. The latter reviewed everything that has been done during Mr. Payno's absence.
Mr. Payne said that it could not by any means be said that investigation was ended, although he hoped the end was in sight. He said it might be completed in four weeks, but it was impossible to fix any exact date. He said the president, in common with himself and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, will be glad when the investigation is over, not that none of them wants the inquiv closed until every irregularity has been ferreted out.
Mr. Payne pointed out that inspectors are working on the cases in various parts of the country and developments not now foreseen may occur at any time. Mr. Payne declared that every one against whom any evidence has been found will be treated according to the evidence and that no one will be shielded by the department.

Duel With His Wife.
William Adair, a prosperous farmer and lumber dealer, was shot and killed by his wife in front of their home near Matewan, W. Va., Monday.

Mrs. Adair ran home, seized her husband's winchester and returned to the yard just as he was entering the gate in pursuit.

SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 8. 1903.
MOBHELD UP TRAIN
USED MUCH AMMUNITION
The Chesapeake and Ohio express train No. 1 was held up by a mob of two hundred men near Clifton Forge, West Virginia, at a late hour Friday night and a desperate effort was made to take two negro prisoners from the train. Over a hundred shots were fired by the mob, and when the train reached Huntington 20 bullets were buried in the woodwork of the smoking car and all of the windows had been shot out.
At Clifton Forge the two negro prisoners were taken on board to be sent to Covington, Va., for safe keeping. Engineer James Peck, of Hinton, and Conductor Jack Hall, of Huntington, who were in charge of the train, saw lights waving on the track just as the train had begun to gather speed after leaving Clifton Forge. The train was stopped immediately, and Engineer Peck started to get out of his engine to find out why the train had been flagged.
As the train came to a standstill, a mob surrounded the engine and coaches, and threatened to shoot Engineer Peck if he moved the train. Then they began to climb aboard. Conductor Hall, who had anticipated trouble when he saw the train flagged, was prepared for the mob, and as they made a rush for the coaches, he ordered all the doors of the cars locked. The men, finding that it would be impossible for them to enter and obtain the negroes, began to gather around the smoking car, in which the negroes were under guard. As Conductor Hall ran through the train calling upon the passengers to lay flat on the floor, the mob, began firing into the windows of the smoker, while the passengers scrambled from their seats to a place of safety from the flying bullets. The firing was kept up for several minutes, and bullets whistled through the car windows. While women screamed, the mob outside continued their clamoring for the two negro prisoners. Flying missiles of all description came through the windows, but not a passenger or trainman was injured. Engineer Peck, during the firing, had sat upon his engine covered by revolvers in the hands of several members of the mob.
At last when the main body of the mob had almost exhausted the supply of bullets, those who had been guarding the engineer left, going toward the smoker, leaving Peck unguarded. As his guards turned, Peck pulled the throttle wide open and the train began to move. The mob, seeing the turn things were taking, and fearing that they might be outdone in their efforts to get the prisoners, climbed upon the platform of the car and attempted to stop the train by applying the air brakes. Not understanding the working of the brakes, however, they were unable to apply them at full pressure, as the train had gotten under headway.
Realizing that they were baffled, the men jumped from the moving train and fired several farewell shots into the car windows. The train gained quick momentum and did not stop until Cevington was reached, where the negroes were placed in jail.
The negroes for womom the train was held up are from Lynchburg, Va., and are supposed to be the men who shot and seriously injured a white brakeman, Edward Hite, a few days ago.
Drowned by Monster Catfish.
Browned by insistent Gathen.
William Lenz, of LaCrosse, Wis., went fishing Friday night in the Mississippi and hooked a large cat fish. The fish gave battle, and Lenz, unwilling to let go, was drawn into the river and drowned.
JUDGE GRAY AN ARBITER.
Delaware Jurist Accepts Job*of Untangling Alabama Trouble.
A dispatch from Wilmington, Del., says: Judge George Gray decided Thursday to accept his appointment as fifth member of the Alabama coal strike commission and so telegraphed to the other members of the committee. In order to attend to the committee work he will have to forego his usual August vacation. Judge Gray will leave Wilmington on Saturday, August 8, for Birmingham, Ala., where the commission will sit and begin the sessions the following Monday morning.
GRIP ON THE GRAFTERS.
Drawn Still Tighter by Grand Jury at Washington—More Indictments Found.
A Washington special says: The federal grand jury, which has been considering evidence growing out of the postoffice investigation, returned indictments Friday against the following:
August W. Machen, formerly general superintendent of free delivery.
John T. Crupper, mayor of Lock Haven, Pa.
William C. Long, of Washington.
William Gordon Crawford, also of Washington.
George E. Lorenz and Martha J. Lorenz, his wife, of Toledo, Ohio.
Maurice Unkel, of New York city.
Thomas W. McGregor, formerly chief of supplies, division of mail free delivery.
William J. Stern, of Baltimore.
With the exception of Crawford, all of the above are indicted for conspiracy.
The indictment against Crawford is for presenting a false claim against the government. Long and Crupper are also indicted separately for bribery. Orders for the arrest of all parties were immediately issued. This batch of indictments does not wind up the cases before the grand jury, and other matters resulting from the postal investigation are pending before that body and may result in indictments against other parties in the near future.
MAINE MILLS ALSO CLOSE.
A special from Lewiston, Maine, says: The extreme high price of raw cotton has compelled the Bales and Androscoggin Manufacturing Companies, employing 3,000 hands, to order a curtailment of the output. Friday notices were posted on the gates of these two corporations notifying the employes that after Saturday the mills would be in operation only four days each week until further notice. This is the first announcement this season of any extended curtailment in Maine. Orders were also received from the Boston office of the company to shut down the Cabott cotton mines, located at Brunswick, for two weeks. The order affects 1,000 operatives. The closing is said to be due to the high price of cotton.
BULLETS FOR STRIKERS.
Non-Union Men Forced to Use Guns for Self-Protection.
The most serious disturbance of the many that have occurred since the beginning of the strike at the Port Vue tin mill, at McKeesport, Pa., took place Friday evening.
During the fight John Mount was fatally injured and John Cameron was shot so that he will be crippled for life. Both victims were on their way home from one of the other mills. When the turns changed at the Port Vue mill, two of the non-union men, H. D. King and Elmer Dolff, started for home, when a crowd of 100 strikers closed in on them, and it was seen that the four or five policemen present were not able to cope with them. King and Dolff drew their revolvers and fired into the crowd, which broko and ran. Mount and Cameron were struck while endeavoring to get out of danger.
CASTRO ADOPTS WRONG POLICY.
Insult to Spanish Consul Caused by Venezuela's Anti-Foreign Attitude
Venezuela's Anti-Foreign Attitude. Semi-official advises received in Washington from reliable sources throw light upon the complications existing in La Guayra, incident to the trouble between the Spanish consul there and the Venezuelan authorities. They also make it appear that serious trouble in that quarter is pending because of the anti-foreign attitude of the Venezuelan government. According to those advises the Spanish consul reqdested the privilege of appearing before a tribunal, which was examining the claim of a Spanish subject against Venezuela. He was punished through the witdrawal of his exequateur.

LOBBYING CHARGED
INVESTIGATION IN ORDER
Resolution Adopted Defines the Crime of Lobbying and Calls for Probing of Accusations Made on Floor of Mouce.
Charges of "lobbying" made openly in the Georgia legislature, and the report of these charges by the newspapers—accompanied in some instances by comment construed as reflecting seriously upon the members of the general assembly—were responsible for the senate's adoption, Thursday morning, of a resolution calling for a joint committee of investigation. The resolution was immediately transmitted to the house, where it was referred to the committee on judiciary. The committee at its meeting in the afternoon adopted a substitute for the original resolution in which the wording of the original was somewhat changed. With the adoption of either set of resolutions, however, an investigation is assured.
Members of the senate discussed the subject for an hour and then 3y practically unanimous vote adopted the following resolution:
Whereas, the constitution of the state of Georgia declares lobbying to be a crime, and in pursuance of this conditional provision, the general assembly has by legislative enactment, defined lobbying to be any personal solicitation of a member of the general assembly of this state during a session thereof by private interview, or letter, or message, or other means and appliances not addressed solely to the judgment to favor or oppose or to vote for or against any bill, resolution, report, or claim pending or to be introduced, in either branch thereof, by any person who misrepresents the nature of his interest in the matter to such members, or who is employed for a consideration by a person or corporation interested in the passage or defeat of such bill, resolution, report, or claim for the purpose of procuring the passage or defeat thereof. But this does not include such service as drafting petitions, bills or resolutions, attending to the taking of testimony, collating facts, preparing arguments and memorials, and submitting them orally or in writing to a committee or member of the general assembly, and other service of like character intended to reach the reason of the legislators. And as prescribed as a punishment for the violation of this penal statute, confinement in the penitentiary for not less than one year nor more than five years.
And whereca, it has been charged by certain prominent and influential members of the general assembly "that lobbying does exist in this legislature, and that they know it to be true, but cannot prove it, because these lobbyists know whom to approach. They seek only those whom they know will not give them away; that lobbyism may be broken up in Georgia, but it will not be by the members of the legislature."
And whereca, leading newspapers of the state have commented upon these charges.
And whereca, said charges are a reflection and insult to those members who seek to discharge their duty in accordance with the solemn oath taken by each member:
And whereas, it is an sense of the senate and the house of representatives that the charges hereinbefore made should be fully investigate1; therefore, be it,
Resolved by the senate, the house concurring. That a joint committee be appointed, three from the senate, to be appointed by the president of the senate, and five from the house, to be appointed by the speaker of the house, to investigate these charges, with full power to subpoena witnesses and compel their attendance, and report all evidence and findings to the general assembly now in session, within one week from this date.
Georgia Senate Passes Bill Already Approved by the House.
The Georgia senate held a short session Monday, but when it adjourned the desk was clear of business. Some house bills of general interest, and two senate bills were passed. The bill to abolish "days of grace" in Georgia, which had passed the house, was perhaps the most important of the general measures considered. As there was some little opposition to this, the roll was called. The bill passed by a vote of 23 to 3.

PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY,
BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO
116 W. St. Julian Street.
If it is true that the truth is a pretty thing, some people will certainly lose some of their pretties
If THE TRIBUNE is worth while worrying your neighbor for, it is worth while subscribing for. Isn't that true?
At the recent banquet given in honor of Editor T. Thomas Fortune in Washington the following tribute was paid President Roosevelt by Judson W. Lvons:
"Dedicated to popular government and the utmost freedom of man, this nation has been peculiarly fortunate in the character of the men called to its chief ex-civil office Looking back through its life of one hundred and a quarter years, from February to the present, the American can proudly beast that none have occupied the office of president, approving him the best and bravest of his fellow citizens both in peace and in war. No man with tarnished record has ever filled that chair, and I trust none ever will. President Roosevelt is no exception to this high standard of the Republic's ruler—indeed he compares splendidly with the very best in history. Highly patriotic and unselfishly consecrated to duty in periods of tranquillity in the emergency of war, he hibited the record of a service which thrills the American youth, when he thinks of the hero of Apponatto. No wonder the Democratic party is experiencing difficulty in finding a man to confront this American David in the mighty battle of next year. They know full well his sped and none of their giants wish to race with him. Two years of his matchless management has deeply endearled him to his sense of well done, good and faithful servant; they will give him four years more at the ballot box in November, 1904, by a majority which will be complimentary as well as overwhelmingly decisive."

The picnic of the Second Baptist Sunday School at Stiles Park last week was one of the most enjoyable outings of the season. From the fact that the citizens generally have not visited this picnic ground the crowd was not very large. Those who went out on Wednesday testify that the park is a beautiful one. It is composed of eleven acres of enclosed land, covered with shade trees. The grounds are clean, good water, and a large pavilion, seats, swings, and in fact everything that is necessary for the comfort of pleasure seekers. The committee of teachers who served on Wednesday did everything to make it pleasant for the children and guests. Refreshments were served free to all. The Sunday school wishes to thank Mr. Stiles for the accommodation accorded.

In Memory of
ALFRED H. HAMILTON.
We miss thee from our home,
We miss the sunshine of thy face,
We miss thy kind and gentle voice,
We miss thee in every place.
Though you have left us
And we miss thee from thy chair,
We let we listen for thy footstep here,
Still we are thinking thou art near.
Not now but in the coming years,
It may be in that better land,
We'll read the meaning of our tears
And there, sometimes we'll understand.

They were most kind, however, the womens insisting upon giving up one of their rooms, and we all become very friendly, foraging the larder for our pupier and cooking it with but landlady in her little kitchen. As I was supposed to be the culinary genius of our party, and the niece had attended a cooking class in New York, City, we were installed as a committee on the commissariat, and we became necessarily very 'chummy', especially as the rain continued the next day, and we all voted to remain where we were until the roads got into condition. Well, to make a long story short, the niece, as you probably have surmised, is at present my wife. The oldest part of it all is yet to come, for mutual inquiries soon elicited the fact that we were both from New York City; but it was not until some time afterward that we discovered that we lived in the same street, and, what was stranger still, actually next door to each other, and had grown up without knowing each other, separated only by a wall of brick and plaster, my boyhood at school and young manhood at college making the circumstances a perfectly natural, one, especially as our parents were not acquainted."—New York Tribune.
Boydoir CHAT
Three hundred and twelve American women have married foreign titles. Wellesley College, at Wellesley, Mass., this year graduated 158 young women.
The Princess of Wales as Duchess of York always insisted upon having plenty of rose bushes in the garden.
The Vienna University bids fair to become a woman's institution, so numerous are the fair candidates for academic honors on the banks of the Danube.
Oberlin College women are working hard to secure funds for a woman's athletic field. Each student engages to contribute ten dollars, and most of them are earning the money themselves.
King Edward has conferred the decoration of the Royal Red Cross on Lady Macdonald, wife of Sir Claude Maxwell Macdonald, in recognition of her services in attending the wounded soldiers during the defense of the legation at Pekin in 1900. Sir Claude Macdonald was then the British Minister in China.
Dr. E. Castner, of Marlenfelde, near Berlin, who was one of the first German women to come to this country to study a profession closed to her in Germany, has given up her profession of dentistry after many years of successful work, and is devoting herself to a school of horticulture for women founded by herself. There are now a number of women dentists in Germany.
After two years of litigation the highest court in Mexico has decided that the Rancho Llane de Oro, worth millions of dollars, belongs to an American girl, Miss Mona Clair Erskane, of Illinois. Miss Erskane inherited a claim to the lands in Mexico from her father, with the advice to study law and Spanish and to fight for the claim in the courts. She did as directed, making her own brief and arguing the case before the court.
FADS FANCIES
Square lace yokes adorn both dresses and tailor rigs.
Plaid cravats are odd, and, if becoming, very pleasing.
Pongee collars with lace en applique are tremendously smart.
Some handsome costumes show panel fronts from throat to toe.
One row of pearls is a charming finish for a rich Empire comb.
Embroidery roses are stuffed into such relief as to seem life-size.
Tassels still play a more or less important part in dress and cloak making.
Pleated skirts are best liked when set on a yoke which is extended into a panel front.
There seems to be less and less difference between dresses for women and for misses.
A tiny marabout plume the shade of the dress is a pretty touch for the evening colfure.
Qualit, old-time ruffles are a feature of many of the dresses that might well be called picture gowns.
It is whispered that many an old curtain has been sacrificed to trim a new dress with "antique lace."
Scalloped effects with strap finishes are consplueous on some of the handsome imported tailor costumes.
In tucked dresses it's merely a matter of taste whether the tucks go round and 'round or are mitred down in front.
Appliques of all shapes are in great vogue, there being little choice between square, round, oval and scroll shapes.
An underblowse of red-dotted white Liberty is effective on a pretty pony model, the dots showing up fetchingly in the abbreviated cash as well as the front and the undersleaves. Paradise plumes have become exceedingly fashionable in Paris, though their expense naturally limits the production. They are to be seen in yellow and white on burnt-straw toques, and the combination is one that for the moment is considered the delight of chle in millinery.

Sift it twice and stir it round
Till it mixes with the butter—

Sift until it looks so creamy

Break two eggs—then a nutmeg or
Keep on stirring, if you please—
Sift in flour till the substance
You can handle at your ease.
Sprinkle flour on the table.
Take your dough and roll it thin—
Then the fun of making jumbles
is now ready to begin.
Use a nice round biscuit cutter.
Mark each jumble off with care,
Have a pump forefinger ready—
Drive it through the centre—threel
Dip your cookies well in sugar;
Have your buttered pans near by—
And you'll fill them up with jumbles
In the twinkling of an eye.
In a good hot oven bake them—
Watch them well or they will burn.
If you're careful, every jumble
Will be trusted to a turn.
A man who has devoted much time to the study of the oyster says that this bilvaive is born with his shell on and that he only grows in the summer time. The beard of an oyster is not only his breathing organ—that is, his lungs—but it also serves to convey food to his mouth. When the warm, calm rays of June come, the oyster opens his shell, and, by means of his beard, begins building an additional fory to his house. This he does by

HOMES UNDER THE BARK.
Several kinds of insects have sharp jaws for cutting holes in wood. Some make queer markings in intricate and beautiful patterns just beneath the bark of decaying trunks. Others bore smooth and even holes of about the diameter of a lead pencil deep into the tree. Some insects make these holes or intricate network of passages for homes where they may live and be protected from storms. Others not only cut the wood, but use the chips for food—St. Nicholas.

Cut out two half circles of cardboard for the front and back of the box, and join them together by gluing a piece of cardboard around the edges, as shown in the drawing. Cut a piece of wood about the size of a lead pencil, just the length to go across the box from front to back. Fasten a piece of good stout wire on the centre, and at the end hang a weight made of a piece of lead or anything that is both small and heavy. From near the end of the wire, not far above the weight, fasten a wire that comes out each side
and bends upward, and on both these bent-up ends put a very light figure of a clown or a jack. Now put the wooden spindle or axle in the box crossways, a little below the centre of the diameter of the half circles, front and back, and fasten by driving a small tack through the cardboard and into each end. When you rock the box, first one and then the other figure will
come up. Lids may be put on the top of the box, as shown in the picture,
that when the figure is down the lid will close. If you want to, you can make the front and back of the box rectangles instead of half-circles, so it will be steady instead, or rocking. Then make the weight at the end of the wire swingers.—New York World.
TRAINED TO POLITENESS.
A woman tells of a monkey which she saw while in Paris, which was so well trained in good manners that it was almost impossible to believe that he did not understand what was said to him. The Japan Weekly Mail describes the animal's accomplishments: "When the woman met the monkey suddenly on the stairs one day, the creature stood in the corner to allow her to pass, and, when she said, 'Good morning!' he took off his cap and bowed.
"Are you going away? she asked. 'Where is your passport?' Pulling off his cap, he took from the crown a paper, opened it, and showed it to her. When some one observed that her dress was dusty, the courteous monkey took a brush from the table, and carefully brushed her dress and then her shoes.
"When any one gave him food, he always made a low bow before taking it, and then ate it slowly and daintily. He had been taught to eat eggs with a spoon and to use a knife and fork.
E PUZZLE.
He could lock and unlock a drawer, thread a needle, uncork a bottle, and polish his master's shoes. He seemed to take great pleasure in gay company, and paid close attention to the conversation, looking in aur at each speaker as if he understood what was said.
"This remarkable monkey was never placed on exhibition. He died at an early age of pneumonia."
CONDENSED AIR TRICK
Fasten a needle, the point in the air, to the bottom of a basin with a bit of sealing wax. Arrange an egg-shell, a third of which has been cut off, in the following manner: Pierce the upper end with two little holes, into which insert two straws, each terminating in a right angle and heed in place by sealing wax. Around the
open end of the egg glue three or four pieces of money in order to keep it is balance. Then set the shell thus prepared upon the point of the needle. Fill the basin with water and with a straw blow the air beneath the eggshell; this air rises, is condensed above, and in escaping by the little paper tube gives a rotary movement to the whole apparatus. This is the same phenomenon as that produced by water pressure.

THE DEEP, DEEP SEA,
It has been until recently the prevalent impression that at great depths in the ocean no organic life could exist, for no light penetrates there, and the pressure of the water is very great. As a matter of fact, the pressure is so great that ordinary articles of wood are compressed to half their original size if lowered to a depth of 3,000 feet. If a human being were suddenly exposed to the pressure of water at that depth he would be compressed to the thinness of paper. A diver at the depth of 10,000 feet would have weight upon him equal to several hundred of the greatest and heaviest locomotives. There are depressions very much deeper, however, and soundings have been made establishing depths of more than 22,000 feet near the Island of St. Thomas, in the Atlantic, and of almost 27,000 feet near the Japanese coast.
Great forests of seaweed cover the bottom of the ocean, and reach from the greatest depths to the surface. In these forests there is life more diversified than in the primeval forests of the tropics. Spiders and wormlike animals of enormous size, infusoriae, crabs, sea urchins, shells, crustaceans, starfish, turtles and millions of other living things of all kinds find their food in the equally varied plant life of the deep sea.
Deep sea fish have been brought up in the deep sea drag not invented by Prince Albert of Monaco. A curious circumstance connected with deep sea fish is that none of these has ever been brought up alive. Recent deep sea explorations reveal the fact that the ocean still contains immeasurable treasures, which await development and utilization by human inventiveness. The most fertile acre of cultivated land is a sterile desert compared with one acre of the surface of the deep sea bottom—Philladelphis Ledger.
HOW TO COOK: GREENS
A great many people are very fond of greens, but still a greater number dislike them. I sometimes think it is because they are not cooked and seasoned properly. We never cared much for them until this spring, a lady neighbor gave us her method of cooking them, and since we think they are a splendid dish.
About a half peck of greens, such as dandelion, burdock, horseradish, etc., are enough for a family of two or three. Use mostly dandelion with just a small portion of burdock and horseradish. Examine them carefully before putting water on them, then wash them through several waters until they are free from sand. Then put into a pan of water and let stand over night. When ready to cook the greens, put them in a large pot with enough boiling water to cover them, add salt, and let them cook about an hour or until very tender. Have ready on the stove a skillet with a cupful of meat fryings in it; when this becomes hot, lift the greens from out the salt water into the hot grease, and when scalded well they are ready for the table, where a little vinegar may be added, if liked.
Another way is to boil them in salt water until tender, then cook a short time in broth in which meat has been boiled.-M. D. H., in Indiana Farmer.
John Ellt's Indian Bible, of 1665, was on exhibition at the Woman's Board meeting, in Boston; having been loaned by the town of Nantick, by which it is owned. The book is an excellent state of preservation. Two other copies of this Bible are in existence, one in Connecticut, the other in Europe.

In an article in Harper's Weekly Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden tells how to live longer than the scriptural three-score years and ten. One of the most urgent necessities of the coming years, he says, is education in personal hygiene. No college curriculum should be considered adequate which does not secure to the graduate such knowledge of himself, and of the plain requirements of sanitation as shall fit him to maintain as fully as may be a healthful physical condition. Public health officers must know more about sanitation than about politics; there must be educational institutions where their special duties can be learned; and an enlightened public sentiment must sustain them in their efforts to promote the general welfare. Dr. Prudden utters a warning note against the carpet, "that storehouse of floating filth"; and if dust could be got rid of, he says, "not simply set astir by the feather duster, we could largely reduce those affections of the respiratory organs which are a most serious and a growing menace to our modern life in towns to-day."
According to the Chicago law directory for 1903, just issued, there are 4,702 attorneys in the city. In the last last year 120 attorneys left the city, 20 coached the practice of law and 32 died. The increase in the number of lawyers was 320. There are about twelve hundred law offices. In Chicago, an average of one suits of offices to an average of four attorneys.
WHERE MINUTES COUNT.
BY FRANKLIN MATTHEWS.
TELEPHONE bell rang in one of the offices of the greatest business buildings in the world, so far as money interests are concerned, one day last ninth.
A clerk answered the call. The head of the office was informed that a fellow director in a great corporation wished to speak with him. The man who called was in Philadelphia. Another director was in the same New York building three floors below. Two other directors were in different buildings in Philadelphia. It was necessary to hold a committee meeting and hand of the directors could leave his office. A leased telephone wire between New York and Philadelphia was put in service. Quickly three men in Philadelphia and two in New York, each sitting in his own office and each with a telephone receiver to his ear, held an important meeting. Motions were made and passed, and a record kept of the proceedings. It was over in ten minutes, and a matter involving the ultimate disposal of millions of dollars had been advanced on a serious stage in its career. In the old way of holding such a meeting it would have cost the Philadelphia man or the New York man each at least half a day of time. A Chicago business leader, who has branch houses of his line of industry in every leading city, walked down Fifth avenue from his hotel toward Broadway the other morning with a friend. Apparently the Chicago man had ample leisure, and was not bothered in the least with business cares. He looked at his watch. The time was 10.30 o'clock. "It's just 9.30 in Chicago," he said to his friend. "Come in here until I read my mail and dictate the answers."
The Chicago man dropped into one of his branch offices, called up his Secretary in Chicago on a leased telephone wire, had every letter of importance that required his personal attention read to him, dictated the answers, and in twenty minutes resumed his walk down town. "I had to have that attended to before 'Change opened,' he said. "I feel like walking. We can reach Wall Street in half an hour or more. What do you say?" The New Yorker agreed. On the way down, while they were dodging an automobile, they were nearly run over by a carriage containing two men. One of them was foremost in financial affairs of a certain kind. He was one who demanded that his home life be not interrupted by business cares. The moment he left his house and stepped into his carriage his business whirl began. The other man in the carriage was a private Secretary.
"Did you see who that was in that carriage?" asked the New Yorker on foot.
"No," said the Chicago man. "Who was he?"
"Why, that's Mr. So-and-so on his way down town to his office. He was too busy to notice us. He had his Secretary with him and he was dictating important letters and papers. Neither the Secretary nor he looked up when the coachman pulled up his horses. So-and-so went right on talking and the Secretary went right on writing. That's how I know it was an important matter."
"That reminds me of the busiest physician in Philadelphia when I lived there ten years ago," said the Chicago man. "He had every minute of the day scheduled beforehand for his work. He was especially strong in consultations. Every patient who, called to see him had the time fixed in advance, with just so many minutes set apart for looking him over. The physician calculated to the second how long it would take to get people into his office and how long it would take to get them out. He had his Secretary calculate how long it would take his carriage to reach a certain place, how long he would stay there, and the exact minute he would reach the next place, and so on. He did his reading—for he was always making addresses and writing papers, being a high official of the university there—in his carriage. He dictated his papers to his Secretary as he drove from place to place, and he went out so far as to have his meals
even went so far as to have his means served sometimes in his carriage. He died comparatively young; he burned out; he wasn't like us, because he never took any time for play, never seemed to have any leisure, and never did have any. That's where he made his mistake. He took advantage of every labor-saving device in those days, but he did it only to do all the more work. -Such a plan is useless, unless it gives you time to play, to take a walk as if one had no work to do, just as we are doing now."
Soon Wall Street was reached. In five minutes the Chicago man was talking again with his Secretary over the telephone. In a jiffy he learned how the market had opened, what quick changes in the business outlook had taken place, and he had sent word how to meet these changes, so far as they affected his business. Half a dozen times that day he did business in Chicago, just as if he were there personally and not in New York. He had ample time to give attention to details of his work, as he dropped into this and that-branch office, and he even went so far as to stroll into a picture gallery to see if there was anything there that would add to the strength of his private collection. "I take these trips to New York occasionally, he said, just to get away from business." Although 1000 miles from home he never was away from his active participation in business more than half an hour.
A
He called it a play spell and it was one to him. He never could have had the breathing time he took away without the modern mechanical helps that enter into the every-day life of a great thriller man. In the old days, responsibilities such as he carried would have crushed a man in a few months, and left him a wreck or dead.
The part the telephone plays in the business world is little comprehended by the average man. He regards the invention as wonderful in its development but more the less of a nuisance which he must answer calls a dozen times a day. It is when the management of the telephone is systematized that its value stands out as an indispensable help to modern business. Go into the. Stock Exchange gallery in New York and watch its work. Several hundred little boxes, each containing a telephone, stand over in the western end of the great hall. Some firms have more than one telephone, and again more than one firm uses a certain wire. These boxes are always busy. Every change in the market is telephoned instantly to brokers' offices. In a twinkling every office can reach its man on the floor.
When a broker is called from his office to execute some order the man at the telephone presses a number, and on each of the two great bulletin boards, in full sight of every one in the room, the man's number appears. In addition, a messenger, of whom there are scores, dashes through the trowd to find the broken. It takes only a few seconds for him to get in communication with his office. Instructions are given so quickly that the course of the market is frequently changed entirely in a minute or so. These numbers that flash out on the bulletin or calling boards are manipulated by electrical devices. Pneumatic power also comes into play as the broker puts his message into one of scores of tubes and sends it to the telegraph room of messenger service room below.
It is a place, this Stock Exchange, of mechanical contrivances of a complex order, adding to the value of the mental alertness of the members. Great is the contrast to the procedure of thirty years ago, when there was more deliberation on the floor of the Stock Exchange. There are many members to-day who can recall when they made the rounds of various offices in Wall Street with a slip of paper displaying quotations, and asking bankers and investors or speculators to buy or sell. Wonderful is the transformation to the present system, and the greatest part played in it has been by the telephone.
No longer is there a single telephone, or two or three of them, in every large business house. Such a place is now a central office of its own, and every man of importance in it has his own telephone on his desk. If he wishes to speak with another man on the same floor, perhaps in the same room, to say nothing of talking with a man in another part of the building, he leans over to his telephone, and the time is saved that it would take to send a message in the old way by an office boy. Hanging by this same man's desk is a little contrivance with a lot of push buttons. When he wishes a subordinate he lifts the button-holder, pushes one of the buttons, and forthwith the subordinate is at his desk.
The reporting on the great newspapers is done largely by telephone, especially in the rush hours. In other days, not ten years ago, the reporter might use the telephone to notify his office what he had found out. He would then either come to the office to write out his article, or would dictate it to the man in the office, if there was not sufficient time to write it out after he had reached the office. Nowadays, the routine reporter, the man who has certain rounds to make, rings up the office and tells a man what he has learned. The man in the office writes it out, or, rather, dashes it off on a typewriter. The reporter is largely a scout in such work. The newspaper-reporting business, however, is fast reaching a point where no man will be employed as a writer unless he uses the teywriting machine. It is necessary, because every moment of time must be saved in that exacting work.
As to the use of the typewriter, it may be said that modern business could not be done without it. It has increased efficiency so that it has made more business. Imagine one copying letters in a long hand in these days, and yet there are thousands of men in active business who, early in life, never knew any other way of preserving records in that way. Then there are other contrivances for speed and accuracy. Adding machines—that never lie and never make a mistake, if the proper keys are struck—are in use in thousands upon thousands of places, and, as an improvement, on that, the latest idea is to combine the adding machine with the typewriter, so that one can write his letter, include a great mass of figures in tabular form, and know that the additions at the end are absolutely correct. A vast amount of time and energy is saved thereby in footing up totals on a bill or in a letter.
And then there is the device to dictate letters when the stenographer is busy, or when there is no stenographer at hand. The phonograph is turned on; The business man talks into it, just as he would to a stenographer. He makes changes here and there, and says: "No, don't put it that way. Make it this way." And so he continues to talk to the end. The typewriter puts the roll in a machine.
listens to it clear through, notes the changes and corrections, and then writes it out on the typewriter, as if the employer were dictating slowly, and at an ordinary typewriting speed. And in addition to all these things there comes the wireless telegraph. Chicago business firms are putting it idle between stock yards and downtown offices. When it reaches a full serviceable use it will be employed wherever possible, for the business man is greedy to get hold of every device to save time and effort. Already he uses the wireless system on his transatlantic voyages. By prearranging it all he need not be cut off from the World thieves than a few hours at most as he crosses the ocean. He can give his business directions from mid-ocean. The days are probably past when a great stock market raid, amounting to a panic in effect, can be made as soon as a Wall Street king is on the ocean and out of the world's activities for a week.
The wireless telephone is being developed. If it is ever perfected the modern business world will seize that, too, just as it has every other invention for simplifying commercial methods. All the copying and duplicating methods in use in every office, all the developments in firing, all the improvements, in bookbinding, all the hundreds of little things that add efficiency to a business man's office are the result of the demand for more time.
The business man of to-day is a vastly more productive machine than he was a score of years ago. He makes other men, and he makes machines do as much of his work as possible. Still, he has even less time than formerly. Sotheiltheims he has to take his stenographers' bill the train with him as he goes to his country home, but once there he drops work and goes into play. The Wall Street man employs subordinates who take a large part of his responsibility, but the man who probably has as much, if not more, European business than any other in the financial district, always attends to one detail absolutely himself; he writes out every cable message with his own hand. It not only ensures complete secrecy, but places full responsibility upon himself for accuracy.
The cry of the business world is "Give us more inventions, more labor-saving devices, so that we have more time."
So that we may do more business would be a better way of putting it. Harper's Weekly.
Cheeky Robins.
With one accord the farmers and truckers of Salem County second, the arraignment of the rascally robin, as set forth in yesterday's Record. The cheeky audaciousness of these red-breasted robbers is almost past belief. An owner of a fine strawberry patch recently noted that a robin that was rearing a family in a nearby tree, instead of carrying food to the nest, escorted his family direct to the patch, and, after regaling them with the finest berries in sight, adjourned to the nest for a post-pandral nap. Another farmer, owning several cherry trees, suspended bells in the limbs. The ringing whoe the branches are in motion is usually sufficient to keep away the feathered gourmands. Imagine his surprise and disgust on investigation to find a rubin perched on the handle of one of the bells, leisurely nibbling his dessert of "cherries au naturel," adding insult to injury by splitting out the seeds on the farmer's head.—Philadelphia Record.
The Romance of a Scratch Box
The Romance of a Scotch boy.
The life of the Scotch boy, Donald Smith, new Baron Strathcona and Mr. Royal, would read more like romance if it were not so studded with improbabilities. People like their romances to be possible; it is only from reality that will be endured the touches of extravagance which turn standard fiction into fairy tales, says the Cosmopolitan. Young Donald Smith, dreaming in his Scotch village of the stirring adventures of a fur-trading uncle in the wilds of North America, and afterward becoming fur trader himself, first as a clerk of the Hudson Bay Company in the bleakest corner of its vast territory, "millees Labrador," then climbing, after years of hardship and fidelity, to be a chief factor of the company and resident governor in America, and finally in his old age governor of the home company in London, High Commissioner for Canada and a peer of the realm—that is romance.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
He Did the Correct Thing:
Any one, could have told from the fearless glint of his blue eyes and the rakish tilt of his cap that he was of the class of messenger boys known to their fellows as "wise." He knew a few things. After he finished his fifteen-cent meal at the lunch counter he went up to the six-foot waiter, who made him look like a dwarf by comparison.
"Gimme my check," he demanded, imperiously.
The waiter meekly scribbled the amount on a slip and handed it to the diminutive customer.
"Here, go buy yerself an automobile," said his lordship, the messenger, droping a nickel into the big waiter's hands. -New York Press.
Curious to Find Their Death:
Two German explorers are planning to go to the North Pole in submarine boats. They think it will be easier to steam under the ice pack and come out or near the pole than to climb over the pack with dog sledges. They are not afraid of getting lost, for they intend to use wireless telegraphy to keep in communication with their base of supplies. Let us hope that they may be more successful than Apth, who sailed away in a balloon to find the pole and has not been heard of since.
Educated Men Spare Themselves in Crucial Moments

HE greatest girl that life offers is education, and it implies a corresponding responsibility. For she who has such an advantage the greatest temptation is not immorality; nor any form of materialism—it is the declining of responsibility. The question is often asked whether or not a university education pays, if it does, but on the other hand, President Wheeler and others say that it is at least doubtful. More men fall from want of force than from waht of judgment; and it would appear that education often tends to reduce rather than to add to a man's forcefulness. The danger is that one has learned to spare himself when crucial moments come.
It is a fact that some of the characteristics of the rotten life of decadent Rome are to be observed among us to-day. There is an air of blase indifference, of knowing it all, to be seen in too many university men, including some of the younger instructors as well as undergraduates. There are some such instructors who have shown themselves unable to stand the air of a German university. Men, who really do know something worth knowing, great men like Huxley and Tyndall, are invariably humble, as Isaac Newton was.
True Value of Yacht Racing
Bv John R: Spears.
ENERALLY classed in the popular view of nothing more, the international yacht races have had, from the first, a serious and timid view. For the building of every internation is carried out with an unstinted use of time for absolute knowledge. The work of the order that done under the Carnegie fund, is not tainly it is not done more eagerly.
For while the Cup that cost less than $100 view for each series of races, the realists have in mind when planning the racers is to combination of sails and canvas can be driven and over the water. The work done by D'Arnaud and our own Franklin, is now continued by the off Sandy Hook to sail for the America's Cup. We compare the racers built for the present year Cup fifteen or twenty years ago, we shall see that with the most healthful recreation known to the national races have accomplished something of view of the most practical captain of industry.

ELL to know is it that the angler's rather the incentive to a ramble and fisherman, unless alas he belongs to the man whose sole object is his car with a worm, hides fingerlings in the photographs his catch as a witness a fisherman, but a butcher.

ENERALLY classed in the popular view as sporting events and nothing more, the international yacht races for the America's Cup have had, from the first, a serious and important practical end in view. For the building of every international race—a work that is carried out with an unstinted use of time and money—is a search for absolute knowledge. The work of the Smithsonian Institution, or that done under the Carnegie fund, is not more serious, and certainly it is not done more eagerly.
For while the Cup that cost less than $500 is the prize held up to view for each series of races, the real object which the naval architects have in mind when planning the racers is to discover what form of hull and combination of sails and canyas can be driven at the greatest speed through and over the water. The work done by D'Allembert, Colonel Mark Beaufouf and our own Franklin, is now continued by the builders of the racers that meet off Sandy Hook to sail for the American's Cup.
If we compare the racers built for the present year with those that called for the Cup fifteen or twenty years ago, we shall see that while furnishing the public with the most healthful recreation known to the world, the men behind the international races have accomplished something worth while even from the point of view of the most practical captain of industry.—World's Work.
The Fascination of Angling.
trout, but as he wanders from pool to pool the songs of the birds greet him restfully; every turn in the stream reveals a nook in which strange wild flowers nestle. The gentle excitement of the sport prevents the scene from becoming monotonous. The element of chance, the uncertainty of the catch add the drop of tobacco sauce which gives zest to the day. And the noontide meal by the brink of the stream! When did a meal have a more delightful flavor? Delmonico never served a trout like unto those we have eaten by the banks of a mountain brook with the clear blue sky above, the waving forest round about and the murmuring stream at our feet. The hour of contemplation comes afterward with the pipe of peace in our hand instead of the relinquished rod. How far off the city seems! Are there such things as corporations, trusts, stocks, bonds; electric lights that amaze the sight, harsh warnings of trolley gongs, the rumble and grind of the wheels and the brakes on the elevated road which affright the ear? The harshest note that breaks the stillness here is the boom of the bittern in the distant marsh. Home to camp the fisherman goes, taking a cast in this silent pool in which the trout rose in the foresoon to his cast but missed the fly, or in that dark hole deep under the bank in which a vigilant eye may detect the brown-sides of a trout with lazily waving fins and tail—an old campagner not easily caught—World's Work.
The Menace of Small Families
By Dr. George F. Shrady.
It is a most deplorable fact that the important places in our industrial, life are falling even to reproduce the is among the most undesirable element we find the greatest secundity. The cities, where the average number lies of the well-to-do is certainly not the foreign born population, many lowest classes of Europe, are increase it not for the fact that in the rural districts it the danger of the country would be much g there may not be as many children on the aeican born parents as formerly, but the rate
Were it not for the fact that in the rural districts this condition is not so apparent the danger of the country would be much greater than it is. In the country there may not be as many children on the average among the families of American born parents as formerly, but the rate of increase is still much greater than it is in the cities, and merely because the country, as a whole, will be secure so long as the rural districts are still able to send their worthiest sons to the cities, there to take the most important places, is no excuse for the parents now living in the cities for not doing their share to reproduce a race which has taken first place in the world.
For the mother who deliberately sacrifices the joys of motherhood in order to be able to devote more of her time to society, and for the father who prefers to be able to have his automobile and his clubs and his handsome city and country homes, without being burdened in even the slightest way by a large family of children, there is no excuse, there can be no noise.
And for the fashionable mother who delivers her child over to the care of a nurse immediately after its birth there is still less excuse. To this fact, to the unhappy fact that a large proportion of city bred children are brought up on bottles is due the great preponderance of country bred men among those who are filling the positions' of importance in all our cities, Statistics prove that less than fifteen, per cent. of such men were born in cities. Fed when young on a bottle, instead of being nourished as nature demands, they are unfit to compete with the boys who come from the mountains and plains, who were started right, and before they entered on their careers gained the strength and nervous energy necessary in the life we are leading in the larger cities.
To this violation of the laws of nature is due much of the weakness and tendency to disease which is so strikingly apparent among city children as compared with those bred in the country.
I cannot too strongly express my opinion on this point. The true aristocracy of this country is an aristocracy of brains, whether it originates in the farm house, the tenement or the palace, but if we are to continue to have this sort of an aristocracy the men and women who now make it up must not fall in their duties of future generations. The far seeing girl of the future who wishes to solve this problem in her own way, would much better make a choice of a young man of brains than of the young millionaire without them.
It should not be so much a question of money as of real ambition and ability in the future father. That is the important point, and if this condition of affairs is not to be altered for the worse it behooves the educated men and women of the present to think for the future, and to remember that it is the luxuries and not the necessities of life that make us cowardly about taking upon ourselves increased responsibilities coincident with increased families of children.
The too careful man presumes that his children may not be able to succeed as well as he has done. On the other hand, I often wonder what our forefathers who worried over the prospective poverty of their descendants would say if they could see the present palatial mansions of their millennial grandchildren. In some respects this view might be taken by our children as a reflection upon their ability, and might be becomingly resented by some selling arguments of disparagement.

F is a most deplorable fact that the persons who occupy the important places in our industrial, commercial and political life are falling even to reproduce their own number, while it is among the most undesirable element in our population that we find the greatest secundity. This is particularly true in the cities, where the average number of children in the families of the well-to-do is certainly not greater than two, while the foreign born population, many of whom are from the lowest classes of Europe, are increasing at a unavailble rate.

ATE SHELLY'S CURVE near Moingona, In., has a history with which every one in this section was familiar in the early '80s, in fact at that time the whole country was ringing with the praises of "Iowa's Grace Darling," from whom the place takes its name. The fast mall was wrecked just at the approach to the Des Moines River bridge, which is at the foot of Moingona Hill.
In 1881 Kate Shelly lived with her widowed mother on the banks of the river, which in ordinary time at that point was a comparatively insignificant stream. She was the daughter of a railroad man who had lost his life in an accident on the Northwestern road. Her mother and herself earned their own living and neither dreamed that some day Kate Shelly would be famous and the story of her heroism would be used in thousands of school rooms throughout the land to impress upon the little ones the importance of rising to the occasion when duty calls.
From her humble cabin door she daily watched the trains rush by as they came with the momentum gained on the long, steep hill, or crowded on all steam to enable them to make the climb. No trainman ever went by without watching for the girlish figure sure to be on the lookout in the daytime, or without mentally marking in the night "that is Kate Shelly's home." She was always a favorite with the trainmen and was soon to become their idol.
Instead of the modern structure which now spans the stream there was in those days a long wooden bridge. On the night when Kate Shelly spring into fame the ordinary insignificant stream had been swollen by heavy rains until it was a raging torrent. None of the railroad men ever dreamed that the water would ever come up high enough to reach the top of the bridge. Kate Shelly had been watching the rising flood all day and when night came she saw it was nearing the dancer line. The railway company did not have any watchman on duty, but the time was coming for Kate Shelly to repay the cheery greetings and many kindnesses of the railroad men.
In the darkness she saw the waters lapping the timbers upon which the rails rested. The flood continued to rise, and as the time drew near for the passing of the big westbound night express the water was over the rails and the huge wooden structure was swaying in the torrent like a tree in a gale. Kate Shelly knew that the bridge in its weakened condition could never bear the weight of the engine and heavy train which would be due in a few minutes, rushing down the steepest grade on the Northwestern road at a speed of sixty miles an hour.
out a speed of sixty miles an hour.
The crew and passengers of that train must be saved and no one was there to do it but frail little Kate Shelly. The night was pitchy dark, the rain was coming in torrents, and with the water running over the rails and the bridge tottering to its fall the task of crossing it and flagging the approaching train was one which might induce the stoutest to shrink, but Kate Shelly was not built out of that kind of timber. Realizing that not a moment was to be lost, she got down on her hands and knees and foot by foot felt her way through the water over the swaying structure. The rumble of the heavy train, as it sped down the long hill, was already audible above the sound of the rushing water.
It was slow work feeling her way over in the dark, but at last her feet were on solid ground. With all her remaining strength she hurried up the track to warn the approaching train of the danger. At the curve, which still bears her name, she caught the first sight of the gleaning headlight already dangerously close to the river. The engineer espied the girl on the track frantically gesticulating, and it required no second look to tell him that something was wrong. The heavy train with its human burden was speedily but none too soon brought to a standstill, and the lives of the engineer, train, crew and passengers were saved by the herolism of a girl, for no human being could possible have escaped alive had that ponderous engine and the heavy coaches once gone upon the bridge. Without Kate Shelly's warning the engineer could not have seen his danger in time to stop.
As the engineer realized what the little girl whom he had watched so many times at the cabin door had done he gathered her in his brawny arms and hugged her for joy. The excitement over and the incentive which had nerved her, up gone, Kate Shelly was on the point of collapse. Strong arms bore her back to the sleeping car and passengers and crew did all that was possible for the wet and exhausted girl to whom they all owed their lives. A few minutes more and the bridge gave way under the pressure of the current and floated off down the stream.
Railroad men not only on the Northwestern, but all over the land, subscribed liberally to a testimonial fund for the brave girl. The passengers of the train she had saved gave her a beautiful gold watch suitably inscribed, and the general public in many ways testified its appreciation of her act. Finally the railway company educated her. From that humble home where few
knew her and noise dreamed of the latent heroism which was enveloped in a modest garb and still more modest demeanor, Kate Shelly stepped unconsciously into the glare of publicity and heard her praises sounded on every hand. She bore her honors modestly, continuing the even tenor of her way, meeting as they came life's pleasures and burdens as she had done in the 'one supreme moment.
Such in brief is the story of the event which gave to this place the name of Kate Shelly's Curve—Omaha Bee.
Mokll- is one of the islands of the Caroline group of the Western Pacific. The following grewsome story of an American who once lived on the island is vouched for by a writer in the Paul Malt Gazette:
One day in November, 1860, a small Sydney truding schooner called off Mokll. The one white trader living on the island came off in his whaleboot. He was an American of about fifty years, bronze-faced, stout and muscular and quiet and unassuming. He had just agreed to supply the captain with some pigs, poultry and turtle in return for some European provisions, when the Chinese cook and steward came into the cabin. The trader looked at the man curiously for a moment.
"Is he a Cantonese?" he asked the skipper.
"Ay! he comes from the Kwang, Tung Province. I believe."
"Thought so, by the run of his eye. Been with you long, sir?"
"No. I only shipped him in Sydney this trip," replied the master.
Presently the American rose. "Well, I guess I'll get along shore, captain. Perhaps it would be just as well if you let your steward come with me and pick out the plugs you want. Trust a Chihuahua to tell a good plig."
The captain assented to the proposition, and in a few minutes the trader, accompanied by the steward, left the ship and went on shore.
An hour afterward the boat returned, bringing the plugs, turtle and poultry, but without the Chinese steward.
"Where's my steward?" asked the captain.
"He's dead," replied the trader, calmly. "I shot him the moment I got him inside my house. Now, don't get mad, captain. Here's a man I've brought aboard who'll make just as good a steward as the Chow."
"Why did you murder the man?" gasped the astonished scamman.
"I didn't murder him. I shot him as I mean to shoot every Chinaman I come across in the South Seas. I can do it down here." Then he told his story:
"When I was a lad of fourteen I sailed with my father in a big lump of a hermaphrodile brig called the Luba. We were in the China-Valparaiso trade. Left Hong Kong one time under charter to take thirty-six coolies to Tahiti. My mother, two younger brothers and my sister were aboard—had been sailing in the Luba for night on four years. Mate was my uncle. Regular family ship. We carried nine hands. I lived for'ard. One night, when we were two days out, the Chows made a sudden rush. I was aloft with the Swede staying the top-gallant sail. They first killed every man of the watch on deck, then they went below and slaughtered every living soul, for'ard and aft. In half an hour it was all over, and they lowered the two boats and cleared out. The Swede and I came on deck and this is what we saw: My father, mother and sister's heads were lying on the main deck. My two little brothers, five and seven years of age, were just trunks—hands, feet, heads gone—and my sister's body (she was seventen or more, maybe) was disemboweled and thrown across the fife rail. And every other body was hacked and slashed about, chunks of flesh lying around everywhere.
"They had set the brig on fire before they left. The Dutchman and I put it out. We were picked up by a French barque the same day. "That's why I always shoot one of the Chinamen when I get a chance."
ON TOUCHING SPOOKS.
Hunted people experience various sensations while touching ghosts. The rough clothing of an invisible, spook is felt to brush against the skin of one young woman. Another spectre had an ey hand when grasped by a terrified woman. 'One woman on going upstairs at night saw a tall man directly in front of her. Recognizing him as a dear friend she reached out to touch him, but her hand simply penetrated space. Later she received word from India that this friend had died on the very date of the experience. Another woman, who selzed a ghost in her room, says that it felt "soft, like filmsy drapery," and seemed to be dragged from her by some invisible power as it sank into the floor by a wave of cold air, which chills those who draw near it; another is apparently warm. On very hot nights he is seen to mop his face with a handkerchief.
A spook which lay down by a friend in bed placed its "frozen lips" against her cheek. That some phantoms have appreciable weight is perhaps indicated by the case of a certain woman visited by the shades of two dead friends. They appeared behind her while she was seated at her tea table, and, leaning upon her shoulders, rendered her immovable. She was unaware of what had happened until her daughter, across the table, cried out and gave the names of the intruders.
HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS
THE TEA'URN.
For serving afternoon tea, where more than three or four persons are expected, the urn is about the most convenient apparatus for holding the beverage. The ten should be made in the kitchen, strained, then placed in the urn over the lighted lamp. It will keep hot and fresh for hours. Or if an urn is disliked as being old-fashioned and formal and cumbersome, why not make the tea on the table in a samovar. There is nothing smarter than a samovar, especially if it should happen to be an antique, and of splendid burnished brass or copper. Or, as a final resort, one may employ the tea kettle suspended over the little alcohol lamp. Anything is better than to fumble around with a teaball white half a score of guests watch the operation hungrily and moisten their lips in anticipation of the tea that does not come. —New York Tribune.
It is always best to try simple methods of removing stains before resorting to strong chemicals, such as chloride of lime, which is one of the most powerful chemicals for removing stains. It is so strong that it may be very destructive if not used carefully.
Iron rust may be easily removed by covering the stain with a thick layer of salt and then saturating it with a piece of lemon and laying it in strong sunlight to bleach. If the stain does not come out with the first application it certainly will with a second.
Mildew is one of the most difficult of all stains to remove. Rub well with brown soap, then apply a paste of chalk and water and put the stained article in th hot sunshine. After two or three applications the mildew may be bleached out.
To remove tea or coffee stains rub powdered borax thoroughly into the stained part and pour boiling water through it into a basin.—New York Tribune.
RECOVERING SCREENS.
A simple and inexpensive method of renovating an old screen is to cover it with heavy wall paper, either a plain paper of damask or sateen-like surface, or one showing a large floral pattern. The first proceeding is to measure a fold of the screen with great accuracy, and then, with very sharp scissors, to cut the paper to fit exactly inside the surrounding frame, which incloses the cloth of the previous covering. Have in roadness some thin glue and with this quickly brush over the edges of your paper. An inch or two is sufficient. If too much glue is applied it will cause the paper to break. Apply the strip defily to the screen, and with a soft, clean cloth press it firmly into contact. Proceed in like manner with each fold, laying the screen flat upon a large table for greater ease in working. Sometimes the edges do not require any kind of finish, but when this seems desirable a narrow border of gold Japanese leather paper or round brass-headed nails serve the purpose admirably.
IRONING OUTFITS
No less than twenty-one different kinds of fat-irons are on the market.
An iron especially designed for the convenient use of travelers contains a little furnace in which prepared coal is burned. A single piece of fuel will provide heat sufficient to press out a bit of neckwear or some other little thing of the kind. The fuel is said to be easily carried about and convenient to handle. The hotel guest is provided for with an iron which contains an alcohol lamp, or, if failing the alcohol, which may be fitted over a gas burner and thus heated. Ironing outfits come done up in cases, and comprise a small felt-covered board, the iron and stand, a stick of beeswax, and a durable ironholder.
Ironing boards which can be induced to masquerade as settees are a novelty, and there are also folding lapboards and tables for the same purpose. It is thought that the numerous cleansing preparations which enable women to remove spots and dirt from expensive gowns, of course necessitating pressing, have created a demand for small irons.—Chicago Post.
Maple Cream, Frozen—Beat the yoke of two eggs until light and add a cup of hot maple syrup, stirring constantly; return to double boiler and stir and cook until the mixture thickens. Let cool, then add a cup of whipped cream and pack and freeze.
Macaroni Rarebilt—Put in a frying pan one tablespoonful of butter; when it is hot add one cupful of cold boiled macaroni, cut very fine; add to it one cupful of grated cheese and two well beaten eggs; sprinkle in salt and pepper; cook until creamy.
Berry Muffins—Cream two level tablespoonfuls of butter; add gradually one-third cup of sugar and one egg well beaten; to two and two-third cupfuls of sifted flour add four level tablespoonfuls of baking powder and one-half teaspoonful of salt; put aside one fourth cup of this flour; mix it with one cup of any kind of berries and add to the first mixture, alternating with one cupful of milk; fill buttered muffin pans two-thirds full and bake in a rather quick even twenty minutes.

Modesty of Wealth.
There are a number of young men of inherited wealth who hold small but generally promising positions in New York. They possess an ambition that will not permit them to lead file and useless lives, and employers are sometimes ignorant of their financial independence. Here is a case in illustration:
A young clerk in a downtown office where scores of clerks are employed had been reported ill for several days, and the head of the company, wishing to learn his prospects of recovery, looked over the home addresses of the other clerks. Calling in the one who, according to this list, lived nearest to the sick clerk—a young man drawing a salary of $23 a week—he asked if he would "stop off and see how Harry was getting along."
"Certainly," was the reply; and then, after a little hesitation, he added: "I will have to make a special trip to Jersey to do it, as my wife and I are living at the Waldorf-Astoria this winter!" The astonished employer learned upon inquiry that his twenty-three-dollar-a-week clerk was a millionaire, who was unpentainously winning his way along with his less fortunate fellow clerks, all of whom were equally in ignorance as to his wealth—New York Times.
E. Nesbit appears again in Alnister's with a story in the August number even more Interesting than "The Lie Absolute." It is entitled "The Force of Habit," and while it is, in fact, a psychological study, it is not in the least didactic; the picture is drawn delicately, and with the utmost skill, and with the same optimistic nature that pervades "The Red House" and "The Lie Absolute," by the same author. In this case, we sympathize with the victim, but we can't help loving his tormentor all the more.
Reggle's Conclusion.
"Oh, mamma!" shouted little Reggie, as he ran to his mother in great glee, "what do you think? I was just over there where they're putting up the circus, and they're filling the ring all full of breakfast food."—August Smart Set.
John Oliver Hobbes, author of "The Gods, Some Mortals and Lord Wickenhain," "School for Saints," etc., etc., has a story in Alinslee's" for August, entitled "The Land of Regrets." It is in the form of a analogue, bright and sparkling, but pervaded by that mysterious atmosphere of India that seems to draw out so much that is strange and contradictory in human nature. Not that it appears in this story, which is really a pretty love story, but it seems to be present as a sort of vague background.
The Common Fate.
Dan-Cupid limped into his office,
All battered and brushed was his
head;
A bandage and splints graced his person
"I umplied a love-match," he said.

the best dyspeptic medicine ever made. A hundred millions of them have been sold in the United States in a single year. Every illness arising from disordered stomach is relieved or cured by their use. So common is it that diseases originate from the stomach it may be safely asserted there is no condition of ill health that will not be benefited or cured by the occasional use of Ripans Tabules. Physicians know them and speak highly of them. All druggists sell them. The five-cent package is enough for an ordinary occasion, and the Family Bottle, sixty cents, contains a household supply for a year. One generally gives relief within twenty minutes.
