NEW YORK DAT BT MY Some ef the Things Ooae Daily in the Metropolis. "Promotion Of Hnnslilne." The clerk In Yorkvlllo Police Court called the case of Nauman gainst Faulhnhcr Thursday morn ing. Thereupon a hunlred men and women, most of them In sombre black, rose and elbowed each other In a mad scramble to get reserved eals far up front. The clerk whis pered to Magistrate Wahle that they were members of the Widows' and Widowers' Club, an organization for the promotion of sunshine In bereav ed households. "It vas a cloob for der promote fulness of forgetting der memory of departed wlfes und husbands," whis pered a member over the desk. There were tall thin widowers and short, stout widows, long, lanky widows ' and little fat widowers, Handsome, poorly dressed widowers, and homely widows with bank ac count reputations, and others whose faces and figures were their only fortune. "Jimmy," the court at tendant, thus described them: First in line Was Widow Klein. Then came Widow Rollly, With Widow Clark And Mr. Spark, Of him they all spoke highly. Then Widow Flynn, With pointed chin. Sat close to Mr. Wlnsky, While Widow Cook, Who knows her book, Sat down behind Roslnsky. The Widow Kretz With Mr. Goetz Kept up a conversation While Widow Hess, Who talked of dress. Created a sensation. The Widow Dodd With Mr. Todd Discussed dyspeptic diet, The cops in blue Had much to do To make them all keep quiet. Magistrate Wahla called the com plaining witness, Mrs. Amelia Nau man, and asked her to ozplaln mat ters. She said she lived with her husband. "I thought you were a widow," remarked the Magistrate. "Sure," replied the woman, "but no more since I got marrlaged again. Christmas Eve der Club had for der shlldrens of widows und widowers a Santy Klaus fest. I bring my hus band und my boy 'Jakey' on der fest. 'Jakey' played der floor over by der fiddler. Vhen 'Jakey' knock ed by der fiddler him arm, er fid dler hit 'Jakey' der head over mlt his fiddle. Dot commenced It." "What did you do?" inquired the Magistrate, turning to Faulhaber. "I put them out because they made a row," explained the h: II proprietor. "Nauman was the troublcr maker. I've got a dozen widows here to prove It." "I got two dozen vldowers to prove It not," replied the ex-wldow. "In my opinion," said Magistrate Wahle, "widows and widowers who get married the second time ought to stay away from these social gath erings of the wldowc und widowers. Stay away, and give the unmated a chance. Case dismissed." Household ftflatters To Color Steps. Mix either whiting or red ochre to a smooth paste with cold water or skim milk, and mix this with suffl- clcnt thlck-bolled starch, spread this evenly over the steps, and leave It to dry on, without, of course, allow ing It to be trodden on during that time. This, If carefully done, will bear washing once or twice. To Pop Corn. To pop corn successfully so thst i the kernels will be soft throughout, I pat enough in the wire popper to I barely cover the bottom. Turn the i cold water from the faucet over the j corn and let it be saturated before I placing over the Are. Shake the water from the popper, and put it In I the oven to dry.

The number of persons killed In India In 1905 by wild beasts was 2,064, as against 2,157 In the pre vious year, and the number of deaths reported from snake bite (21,797) Is also a little smaller than that of 1904. A feature of the 1905 returns Is the Increase in the number of deaths, both of human befngs and cattle, at tributed to leopards. It Is suggest ed by a writer In Bailey's Magazine that these beasts seek their prey more readily than they used to do In the neighborhood of villages, The fact that more licenses to possess firearms were held In 1905 than In the previous year may be noticed; but It has long been recognized that It is impossible to discover any re lation between the number of fire arms In native hands and the num ber of deaths from wild beasts. During 1906 more dangerous wild beasts were killed than In 1904. The official figures are: tigers, 1,355; leopards, 4,811; bears, 2,23: wolves. 2.016, and hyenas, 654. Well-known man-eating tlgerB were killed In several districts. A regu lar crusade against wolves has been carried on In parts of the Central Provinces, where these brutes are most numerous and most trouble some. --N. Y. Sun. Dried Beef. .

A well-dreBsed woman, crying as if her heart would break, ran up to the desk in the West Forty-seventh Street Police Station the other night "Please, please find my little lost one," she pleaded. "He Is gone, I know not where." Sergeant Brady, who has a kind heart, was touched by the woman's misery. "We certainly will do all we can," he said, In a trembling voice, "let us hope for the best." "How old was he?" "Three years." "How was he dressed?' "He wasn't dressed at all." "Why, the poor child will freeze to death," exclaimed Brady. "He's my dog, my fox terrier," said the woman.

According to Patrick Luhey, It Is bad enougu to lose a leg and hobble around on a wooden one, but to be compelled to sleep with that same wooden stump Is a hardship and an Injustice. Lahey Is 60 years old He told his troubles to Clerk Ell perln of the Adams-Street Police Court. "I have been up against It for many weeks past," said Lahey. , "Some time ago I lost my left leg. With what little money I had saved for a rainy day I bought a wooden leg, and from that moment there has been nothing but trouble In the household. "You see, it Is this way. Every time I take oft my wooden leg and we have a disagreement, she hides It. Then I am compelled to hobble around on one foot. On several oc ccrlons I had Important business to attend to, but could not find my leg. "A week ago I decided to Bleep with my weoden leg. While thlH was sensible It was painful. It was only last Sunday that my wife told me that If she ever got hold of that wooden leg agr'T) she nild lambast me with it.

When they have soaked for fifteen minutes, remove and spread them, piece by piece, on a smooth surface. Then, with a soft brush (an old tooth brush will do), rub until all the streaks and spots disappear. A little cook, ing -soda will help to remove obsti nate stains. Rinse out the soap suds In clear warm water. If you desire the ribuons to be as stiff as when new put a few drops of vinegar in the rinsing water. Have the Ironing board ready, spread the ribbons between two pieces of smooth white cloth with a plain weave and press with a moder ately hot Iron until thoroughly dry. This method will be found excellent with satin, taffeta, peau de sole, gros graln, liberty satin, mirror velvet and other ribbons excepting plain silk velvet; these should be merely damp ened not soaked and run quickly buck and forth over the face of a hot iron (silk side next.to the Iron) until dry.
