Piague in Scotland a Coincidence.
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.
I have alluded to the survival in Abys-
sinia of the manners and customs of
Bible tilnes, says a correspondent of a
London newspaper. You have only to
stop at a well to realize the kind of
scene at which Rebecca figured. In our
conception of the word, it is nota well
at all. Sometimes it is a pit in the
sand, about 15 fect deep. At the bot-
tom of this is a hole as big as a wash-
hand basin, full of water, which has to
be ladled out with a mug or cocoanut
shell. The basin keeps on reg'enishing
itself from the springs except in time

£ A LUCKY FIND.
BY ELLA M. 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. Drain and
bake in a hot oven 30 minutes. Peel,
slice thin, and cool thoroughly. Cut
six gherkins in thin slices. Make a
I'rench dressing. Decorate with the

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

Russia has long oc cupied the attention

small quantities, while wood is by no

enormous quantities of peat to account.

A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights
of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant to-night.
The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day
and night, the weary form and aching head have known no
rest, for the dress must be finished in time.
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.
For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is
nothing so ote as Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

The army transport on the advance
to Peking was a unique spectacle. Miles
of coolies, vehicles and animals trailed
behind the troops. Everything on
wheels, from farm wagons to fashiona-
ble traps, was impressed into the trans-
port service. Every Chinaman, horse
and mule in the path was commandeer-
ed. The Japanese had cows bearing
packs, and the Russians camels. China-
men pulled carts and staggered under
heavy loads. Two hundred junks and
stows bearing munitions were towed up
the river by coolies.—ILondon Mail.

After dinner on the following day,
while off duty and in ecltizer’s clothes,
the average wife is almost always
equal to the emergency, and can in-
duce a more powerful aeolian current

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

some and complete toilet set of cut
glass. Decorated china sets have long
been favorites in the boudoir, but an
entire cut gl set is something novel.

two large bottles for perfume, two
smaller ones for toilet water, two more
for other liquid toilet preparations,
cold cream jar, powder globe, ring
stand and pin tray, making in all a
dozen articles exclusive of a mirrored
tray. To the woman who likes cut
glass such a set as this is likely to
prove a source of delight, and with
the candles lighted or their brilliancy
heiglitened by the sunlight in theapart-
ment, such an aggregation of scintil-
lating toilet accessories is certain to
produce a beautiful effect.
