It is a somewhat curious historical coincidence that the two hundred and thirty-fourth anniversary of the great fire of London, which broke out »>5n September 2, 1666, and literally purified London of the plague, should almost synchronise with the outbreak of the scourge in this country in a modified and apparently not very deadly form. Readers of the omens may also connect the recrudescence of Nell Gwyn, who flourished during the plague-stricken days of Charles II., with the reappear- ance of the disorder.—London Express. Notes From the Paris Exposition. “The Singer Manufacturing Com- pany, ot 149 Broadway, New York, show their usual American enterprise by having a very creditable exhibit located in Group XIII, Class 79, at the Paris International Exposition, where they show to great advantage the cel- ebrated Singer Sewing-Machine which is used in every country on the globe, both for family use and for manufac- turing purposes. The writer was highly pleased with this display and observed with much satisfaction that it was favorably commented upon by visitors generally. The Grand Prize was awarded by the International Jury to Singer Sew- ing-Machines for superior excellence in design, construction, efficiency and for remarkable development and adap- tion to every stitching process used in either the family or the factory. Only One Grand Prize for sewing machines was awarded at Paris, and this distinction of absolutely superior merit confirms the previous action of the International Jury at the World's Columbian Exposition, in Chicago, where Singer Machines received fifty- four distinct awards, being more than were received by all 6ther kinds of sewing machines combined. Should it be possible that any of our readers are unfamiliar with the celebrated Singer Machine, we would respectfully advise that tley call at any of the Singer salesrooms, which can be found in all cities and most towns in the United States.” Biblical Customs in Abyssinia.

HESS. 3 $3600000000000000000000600 About eight years ago, on aswarm summer's night in June, within a few minutes ot 12, I was patrolling a quiet part of East Broadway when a man called out from a second story win- dow— “Hold on, policeman?’ “Well,” 1 asked, *what’s the mat- ter?” “I have just heard a heavy thump in Mr. Bentley's house, next door. He may have fallen and hurt himself. He came in a few minutes ago. Hadn't you better ring the bell?” Mr. Bentley was a rich old bachelor who had lived entirely alone for years. It is said that in his house, to which no outsider was ever admitted, he kept a large amount of money and bonds. I rang the bell, but there was no response. “Are you sure you saw him enter?” I asked. “Yes. He hadn’t been in half a minute before I heard a heavy jar. I have heard no sound since.” “There must be something wrong,” I said, after ringing the bell a second time and receiving no response. I tried the door, but it was locked. “Better force it,” suggested the man at the window. “I don’t like to do that. Is there any other entrance?” “Yes; that alley just beyond the steps leads to a back yard; but the gate is probably locked, as well as the rear door.” “I will go and see,” said I. Walking up the narrow alley, I dis- covered, by the dim light of a street lamp nearly opposite, that the gate stood open. I looked in and per- ceived that the rear door was open, and a faint light shone out. All was quiet. I returned to the street. “The gate and the back door are ope, Come down, and we will go in,” IT said to the man at the window. In half a minute he joined me on the sidewalk, and I recognized bim as an acquaintance named John Burke. “I didn’t know you lived here,” I said. “And I didn’t recognize you when I first spoke,” he answered. “Well, there may have been foul work in his house, and we had bet- ter enter together.” We went up the alley, into the yard, and entered the open door. The rear room was evidently used as a kitchen, and guided by the aim light, we passed through another open door in- to a narrow hall with a stairway. Near the street door was a table on which stood a lighted candle. At the foot of the stairs lay Mr. Bentley, quite dead, and a frightful wound up- on his head convinced me that he had been murdered. At my request Mr. Burke hurried away to the police station, a few blocks off, to inform the captain of the murder, while I took the candle and made a hasty examination of the premises. A number of drawers in “Oh, nothing of any great conse- quence.” 1 replied coolly. “Perhaps you wouldn't object to my taking a look into that valise.” “Perhaps you will do me the kind- ness to get out of my room,” he re- torted. “Are you drunk or crazy? Hand me that key and go, or I will throw you out of the window!” “Not so fast,” said I, drawing my revolver. “I am an officer, you know, and I am here to arrest you for the murder you committed last night.” He stared a moment, then a change came over his countenance. “Great Heavens, Mr. what do you mean?’ “Have you ever seen this bit of paper?” I asked. As I extended it toward him I saw that it was a weekly paper, pub- lished in the city of DIennyslvania from whence Burke came; its date was so recent that he must have re- ceived it on the very day preceding the murder. With a look of despair on his white face that I shall never forget, he stag- gered to a chair. He was thoroughly cowed, and made no attempt to es- cape. You see the poor wretch was new at the business. In five minutes I marched him into the station, where he made full con- fession, giving substantially the fol- lowing account of the crime. The stories of Bentley's wealth had tempted him to rob him. He forced his way into the house a little after dark, one night, when he knew that Bentley had gone out, but had barely entered when the old man came in at the front door, locked it, and lighted the candle on the table. Determined not to be foiled now, Burke rushed upon him and struck him down with the tools he had been using to break the locks. This was between 9 and 10 o'clock. Then he ransacked the house, finding a number of banknotes. In order to make a compact parcel of them, he hastily tore in two a paper which he chanced to have in his pocket, using one half for his purpose and, in his nervous haste, leaving the other lying upon the floor. Then he returned to his room, from which he called my at- tention to Bentley's house, foolishly thinking that by so doing he would not come within the range of suspicion. In due time he was tried, found guilty, and paid the penalty of his crime. It was this case, which I worked up on my own account, and in which my success was largely due to mere chance, that gave me a place on the detective force. Many a man has worked harder and displayed far more sagacity than I did on that occa- sion, without accomplishing his end. But I do better things now, and like my work as well as some persons like to solve a puzzle.—Waverley Maga- zine. McAuley, THE PERENNIAL PROBLEM. The Two Classes That Husbands May Be Divided Into. The problem as to whether husbands really love their wives is again upper- most in society, and battle, murder and sudden death, polities, trusts, floods, earthquakes. heat, hades and hurry have been relegated to their proper piaces. Ilusbands may be roughly divided into two great classes—those who are managed by their wives and those who think they are not. The rest are so far in the minority that they are not worth considering. jut the fact that a husband is duly controlled by his wife is no evidence either that he loves her or that he does not. The average husband is a meek, burden-bearing animal, with do- mestic traits, his mind intent on one or two things, and it is a comparative- ly easy thing to shift him about. A Whisk Broom for Dampening. In dampening clothes preparatory to ironing, use a small whisk broom. Af- ter sprinkling, roll smoothly, keeping those that need hot irons separate from those requiring the cooler. Starched clothes should be allowed to stand at least two hours before ironing. Fold napkins and handkerchiefs once, place one upon another and roll. Snap towels while the fringe is damp to pre- vent its breaking off. A Care for Mildew. “What is a good cure for mildew in clothes?’ writes a- friend. The best thing is to use the ounce of prevention in time. When the evil is done, how- ever, here is no use in crying over spilled milk, though it must be admit- ted that any agent powerful enough to remove mildew or blue mold from linen is apt to injure the fabric. A solution of the chloride of lime, such as may be used for bleaching, is per- haps the best remedy. A tablespoonful should be dissolved in a gallon of cold water by stirring with a wooden stick. Soak the injured garment in this prep- aration, moving it about occasionally until the stains are no longer visible, then rinse very thoreughly, changing the water several times. Every Girl Should Learn the Art, Every girl who is planning to be a housekeeper some time, and is busy learning how to be, wants, among other things, to learn how to prepare and pack a dainty luncheon. It is an important part of her training. She may want to pack a picnie luncheon, a luncheon for a traveler or for some one Whose daily duties take him away from home, and where there is no opportunity to ob- tain a luncheon, so that he is depend- ent upon the luncheon-basket. There are all these to be provided for occa- sionally, besides the school-child. And she wants to know how to cater to this clientele. You instinctively know the one who prepared the luncheon by the way the basket is arranged and what it contains.—Sallie Joy White, in the Woman’s Home Companion, Spanish Mackerel Salad. Cut the contents of a can of pickled Spanish mackerel in thin slices and put it in a colander to drain off the oil, then set on the ice. Peel half of two bunches of radishes, selecting the larg- est, and cut in thin slices. The bal- ance of them must be trimmed in the following way: cut the stems and large leaves, keeping the smallest; cut the roots and peel off evenly a small part around the roots. With a sharp knife divide the remaining peel into small equal-sized leaves. Remove the outer leaves from a large head of lettuce and cut the heart in six parts. Cut the large leaves ems and all, in small pieces, wash in cold water, and drain in a wire basket or in a towel. Boil one bunch of me- dium-sized red beets 30 minutes in wa- ter enough to cover them.

Coal Troubles in England—Short Coal Haul England’s Advantage—Many Miners Leaving for European Countries. Increases in wages have been gained | peacefully by 000 coal miners in South Wa co collie Northu 30,000 iron workers in the Midla ;, north of England 1 and Scotland, and 1,500 blast furnace men in South Stafford hire. The English anise) ty is experiencing the efi of the high price of coal in England. It has re signed contracts with Cardi 1s for the supply of 130,- 000 tons of Welsh steam coal at prices varying from $6.50 to $7 per ton. This is the highest price the naval depart- ment has ever paid for this coal, nt in the time of strikes. The whole con- signment has to be delivered at the na- val de pots during the next four months. An American engineering irm has also tons of coal with a north of England colliery. Few appreciate the tremendous part coal plays in affairs. In a year our ra ul- roads carry the inconceivable total of one billion tons of freight. If a crowd were asked what item made the largest showing, nine out of ten would reply, grain, and yet, of the whole quantity, only 60,000,c00 tons are grain, while z03,- 000,000 tons are coal. For every pound of grain of any sort that our railroads carry, they transport almost five pounds The significance of these fig- ures shows the greatn of coal far better than any elaborate tables of de- scriptions. The question of the scarcity of fuel i Russia has long oc cupied the attention of scientists. Coal is found only in small quantities, while wood is by no means sufficiently abundant to warrant to surmount the difficulty by turning the enormous quantities of peat to account. In many districts the turf almost repre- sents the staple fuel. Its calorific power is said to be double that of wood. The and sent to the market. It is estimated commercial purposes compares very fa- vorably with the price of coal. England's sole advantage over Amer- markets is the short haul both by land and by water.

The result is a scarcity of labor. Amer- ican minars are in demand, and relatives of Welsh-American miners are writing daily for them to come back to the old country. It does not require a second invitation for many. With the promise of good wages and steady work they are leaving on every ship. INDUSTRIAL NOTES.

To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would say a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and gocial excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizzi- ess, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicate - erious trouble, which has ee promoted by an over-taxed gystem.

To make this part of the story brief, I will state that the usual for- malities followed, the body being handed over to the coroner, and the case was placed in the hands of the detectives. I at first intended to give them the bit of newspaper I had picked up, but as I had a half-formed theory about the murder I concluded to keep it, at least for a day or two, to see if I could find a clue to the assassin on my own account.

But do husbands love their wives? They do, they do! And the proof lies in the subject on which the average man is interested in, to the exclusion of everything else, even to the excite- ment of making love to his wife. And this subject is the almighty dollar. He hasn't time for anything else, and he chases it mostly for love of his partner.
