As of olur TiklNfi a SMILE. There are more ways, saith the old adage, of killing a dog than by choking it with butter. It may alio be truly faid that no man ever died of thirst in s prohibition state. I was lying on a sofa the other day, luxuriously enveloped in a sheet, in the cooling room of a Turkish bath establishment. There were two other who were also cooling off, and right here I beg to state, for fear of a uiis unilerstandiug about the matter, that tho reason I was there was to get rid of a cold that had just started, and which, if generally taken in time, is arrested by rueaus of a Turkish bath. I regret to say, however, that I rarely get there in time. One of the men had not come in to get rid of a cold. He had had no sleep for a couple of nights, he said, and was feeling rather undi;r the weather. I believe that somewhere up-town there had been an all-night poker game, with the accompaniments of stimulants, and this victim of poker had felt rather rocky, and so went to a Turkish bath to sort of revive him. "See here," he said to the attendant 'I want you to send out and get me good whisky cocktail." The attendant looked aghast. ".My dear sir," he said "that is not allowed in this establishment." "What is not allowed?" asked the, man. "We are not allowed to send out for any liquors." "W ell," said the cooler off, in tone of deep disgust, "this is a line bathing establishment." "Yes, sir," said the attendant, "it Is considered the finest in town." "In town?" cried the other. "In the Tillage, you mean. 'Why, it's the only place in the United States that a man can't aend out and get what he wants. I tell you I've got to have a whisky cocktail, and I am going to bave it." "Oh, you can have it all light," Answered the attendant. "Very well, then, I want it just now." "You can have it all right, but not till after you get out." "Now, see here," said the man, in an insinuating tone of voice, "there is a dollar In this thing for you. You send out on the quiet and get me a whisky cocktail. It will be all right, nobody will ever know anything about it." "I can't do it," said the attendant. "It's strictly against orders and, be sides, the proprietor wouldn't allow it. It's no use, you had better go to sleep." "Where is the proprietor?" "He's in the next room. I'll call him, if you like." "Well, I wish you would do so. 1 want to see what the reason is for such an idiotic arrangement as that. This it the first Turkish bath place that I was ever iu that I couldn't get what I Wanted." The proprietor came in and wa very suave and soothing, but he was perfectly firm on the liquor question. No whisky cocktails could get into the doors of that establishment, not while he was proprietor. The up-all-night man pleaded and begged aud swore, and threatened never to come there again, and tried to appeai to the proprietor's better nature, but it was no go. No whisky would be allowed in the cooling room. Tha man thought deeply for a while and finally again sent for the proprietor. "Say," ho asked, "have you a tele phone here ?" "Oh, yes," answered the owner rf the place. "Well, I wish you would do me the kindness to ring up my friend, Jacob btrauss. Tell Juke, when you net him, that I'm here at your bathing es tablishment and I can't get down for an hour. T.ll him to postpone that appointment for another hour at 'east." "All right. What did you say the rime was?" "Strauss Jacob Strauss." "All right." Tho proprietor seemed all the more anxious to please his guest as he had bad to refuse him the necessities of life a short time before But after a while ho came into the cooling room and said, as he held the telephone Vook in his hand : "I can't find any Jacob Strauss tare." "Oh, he mast have a telephone," laid the bather It isn't in the book, then." ..ssrrii ai i - . I w en, luuuucr, now am I to gsyi w sussss s nu mu sspuisk- : vMsVIviaio about U aaaa'.M, 'shop. and I had forgotten all a, lut It. 1 can't go out of here till I am cool." "No, certainly not," said the pro prietor. "Well, the best thing you can do is to call up a messenger bo; and send a note to your friend. Doei he live out of town?" "Oh, no, he only lives up Wooifc ward avenue." "Very well, then, I would call messenger boy, if I were you." "Well, just do so for me, will you, please?" We heard the proprietor ring up tb 'ulephone and call for No. 6 and say: "Send a messenger boy up to So-and-so's bath rooms right away." In a little while the proprietor cam in and said the messenger boy wai waiting outside. "All right, send him in here. Say, can you give me a sheet of paper and n envelope?" "Certainly." A sheet of paper and an envelope were brought, and the boy waited while he scribbled a short note, then on the outside of the envelope he wrote "Jacob Straus9," with a number on Woodward avenue. "Now, my boy," he said in a whisper, "are you a pretty sharp young fellow?" The boy grinned. "Very well. You see that address to Woodward avenue? Now, you are not to go there. You just take this note to Charlie. Y'ou know the place, and here's a dollar. Tell him to put it in an eight ounce bottle, and you put it in your pocket and don't show it to anybody till you get in here again. Understand? You might just show that address to the proprietor outside as you go through, and ask him whether it's up or down Woodward avenue, you know, to give a sort of semblance of probability to this thing, and if you keeu mum the chantre of that dollar is vours. Mum's the word vou know. Do you tumble?" The boy tumbled all right enough, and went out on his errand. In short time he returned and bronght in a note to the bather, at the same time slipping gently a small bottle to th thirsty man. As we went out together and paid our bills at the office, the man said to the proprietor: "I like your establishment first rate, but I think you are a little too strict in ! your temperance rule." 3 ".My dear fellow," said the proprie tor, "we have to do that. We can't let any liquor get in here, you know Now, you must admit that you feel better yourself for njt having it, and I should advise you not to indulge any more, iou certainly look better than if you had the drink you wanted." Well, perhaps you are right," said the man, as he buttoned up his over coat and strolled away. TEA MAKING AN ART. The managing director of a big tea dealing firm, who is a tea taster and blender of twenty-five years' experi ence, has lately stated that he once saw a leading broker in Mincing lane have aixty teas, ranging within a penny per pound Sn value, weighed up iu duplicate, the 120 pots numbered and mixed up, he then picking out the sixty duplicates without a single mistake. As regards educating the sense of smell, writes tbe tea dealer, "I am strongly of opinion that it is possible, with constant practice, to value teas as correctly by smelling the in fused leaf as by tasting. I have bought thousands of chests in public sale by smelling the infused leaf only, and have constantly valued public sale teas ou the same plan. Nevertheless, for blending purposes, it is absolutely n wsary to taste. "I had fourteen years' experience in tasting on the market, and left it eleven years ago to enter the blended tea trade. I then had to commence to learn what I never knew before the art of blending tea and I am convinced that, for this growing department of the trade, it is not only necessary that man should have a good palate and keen sense of smell, but that be should, by constant attention, understand the art of selecting such teas as will blend with each other. A man may have ever so keen a palate and sense of smell and be able to value tea to a farthing per pound, and yet be no blender. Having produced a blend successfully, the abilities of a blender are severely tried by his havimr to maintain its quality and character, and nothing bat constant practice, indomit able perseverance aud skill will enable him to succeed." , 9wm vas6lBrsas Tito IstOsn sin-, m as ssaMS-ri w la Co.1 a v4 s sraks s .. voa Wta( S f t i -t.rMtj ysisspoMs s niiil o ts ss1. ym wa sask s srsf T mmd f.

Almost always the texture is improved by whipping the mash with an egg beater. An air of importance may be given to this simple dish bv merely brushing the top with fine bread crumbs and bits of butter, or better, drops of melted butter. A pretty variety of the cold or the not boiled potato is to cut out little balls with the small fifteen-cent cutter that comes for that purpose, and boil tnom in salted water for a few minutes. ihey are not desired to be mealy, therfore it is best not to shake them They are very nice a an accompaniment oi nsn, either baked or boiled: pnt on tbe same platter with slices of lemon or parsley, or both.

USEFUL INFORMATION. To take iron rust out of white gowds, ponr a teacupful of boiling water, stretch the goods tightly across the tjp of it; then pour on a little of the solution of oxalic acid dissolved ia wa ter and rub it with the edge of a tea spoon or anything.

Urease spots, if old, may be re moved from books by applying a solu tion of varying strength of caustic pot ash upon the back of the leaf. The print ing, which looks somewhat faded after tbe removal of the spot, may be fresh ened by the application of a mixture of one part of mnriatio acid and twenty-five parts of water. One of the best methods of cleaning oair brushes is to put a full teaspoon ful of household ammonia into a basin of warm water.
