It is near time that enterprising

London newspapers have started a
crusade against the use of the long hat
pin. Although at least two serious
accidents have resulted in this coun
try in recent years from the use of
these pins, dry goods dealers say they
are essential to woman and her head
gear. Arsene Alexandre, one of the clever
Farisians, in an article called "The
Farce of the Decorative Arts," attacks
directly the society for the encourage
ment of these arts, and incidentally
tates, on generat principle, that the
whole idea of decoration as a special
branch of art is nonsense.

The unusual heat which has pre
vailed in London has produced a revo
-Intion in manners on the bench. A
few days ago the lord chief justice,
Lord Russell of Killowen, after order
ing all the doors and windows to be
opened, took oft" his peruke and robe,
and authorized the advocates to follow
his example. For three or four centu

ever sat on the benoh without his wig.
It is often said "the old man is not
wanted." Bnt suchais not the case in
Spain. Its new prime minister, Gen
eral Azcarraga,is nearly seventy yeara
of age, and yet he is the most active
statesman and the most popular man
in Spain. With a strong tendency to
institute reforms, he is a man of de
termined will, and it seems as though
new era might dawn npon Spain

Old Man.
The government reindeer farm near
Fort Clarence, Alaska, in the viciuity
of the lower Yukon, now has more
than one thousand animals, and they
are multiplying rapidly. The herd
was started five years ago. None of
the animals have been utilized as yet
for any purpose, although it is said
that some of them may be put to ser
vice in transporting the mails. The
Boston Traveler now suggests that a
certain number of the deer be sold to
the seekers after wealth in the Klon
dike. The revenue derived from their
ale, it is argued, -would reduce the
heavy expenses attending the main
tenance of the rest of the herd, and

The crime of kidnannincr is nnm-
1 1 n
parktively rare in this state with refer-
- enc4 to children, observes the New
YjiSrk Sun, most of the cases in the
Yaw reports relating to the carrying off
of grown persons. The gnilty parties
in the Conway case at Albany, have
f rendered themselves liable to im
prisonment in the state prison for a
term not exceeding fifteen years, un
der section 211 of the Penal code, the
aeoond anbdivision of which declares
that a person ia guilty of kidnapping
who willfully "leads, takes, entices
way, or detains child nnder the
age of 16 yeara with intent to keep
or conceal it from its parent, guardian,
or other person having the lawful care
or control thereof, or to extort or ob-
tain money or reward for the return
or disposition of the child, or with in
tent to steal any article about or on
the person of the child." In the early
part of this century the law against
kidnapping was most frequently in
yoked in the northern states'in behalf
of free persons of color who we're un
lawfulfy seised for the pnrpose of en
slaving them in the South. Of late
years sailors have frequently been the
victims of kidnappers. The offenders
in the Conway case when ascertained

The True Story of a Sauce.
ST MAnORKRITA
r ajp ajp ay V VpT'sT' V V
This is a true story of low life and
also of a great sauce. What his real
name was no one ever knew. He had
come into Bivington street in the arms
of a drunken woman who inexplicably
had considerable money. On this ac
count, and also on account of her gen
erosity, she was welcomed by the so
ciety of that downtown district.
Her name was Mary. Her family
name was somewhat obnenre. Once
when arrested she gave it as Jones,
another time as Schmidt, a third as
Bonaparte and a fourth time as Wash
ington. This variety showed hor to
be a woman of some information, if
nothlug else.
The bnby was a bright-eyed little
thing, which was lame. The woman
was kind enough to it in her own
rough way aud left the child largely
to its own resources.
It was clever and soon ' found out
which of the neighbors were kind and
liked children and which did not.
Jamsey, for so it was called by its
mother, managed to get along like
thousands of others in the submerged
Tenth. He grew, bnt on account of
his infirmity grew in a different wny
from the other children of the neigh
borhood. He did not care much for
playing, bnt liked housekeeping,
dolls and other girlish recreations.
When he was four he could make him
self quite useful in the kitchen and
was so careful that be could be safely
intrusted with plates, tumblers. When
he was six his mother died.
No one ever appeared to claim the
body, and the city buried it without
ado. The kind-hearted policeman
talked of taking the boy to a nice or
phan asylum, where the children are
all dressed in uniform and are trained
to walk alike, talk alike, eat alike,
read alike and think alike and very
often to misbehave and die alike.
He found to his surprise that even
down in Bivington street there was
an invincible antipathy to asylums.
Mrs. Mueller, a childless German
woman, said that the baby should
stay with her as long as she lived aud
that no Irish policeman should take it
away and have it ruined in an asylum.
So Jamsey .became a member of the
Mueller family.which consisted of the
lady in question and her husband, who
was employed in an uptown brewery.
Mrs. Mueller, like all German
housewives, had a mania for cleanli
ness. In her particular religion it
preceded godliness. She had the
same reverence for a scrubbing brush
that a poor Hindu has for Juggernaut,
while a bar of soap gave her more
pleasure than the heaviest black silk
dress.
Undoubtedly the cornerstone of her
love for Jamsey was his taste for
household pleasures, and they made a
fine pair.
Although lame, he would lend a fair
hand to her scrubbing up the floors
and polishing the windows and in
doing the family ironing. He was in
valuable in washing aud wiping the
dishes, aud by degrees he came to
cpok all her favorite dishes as well as
she herself did.
- Once or twice she let him cook by
himself, when he surprised her by the
tastiness of his finished work. After
that, when she had what she consid
ered leisure, she would teach him all
the secrets of old German country
cooking as she hnd learned it iu her
youth, of fashionable Berlin cooking,
where she had been a cook some eight
years before marrying aud coming to
this country.
Jamsey made wonderful progress,
and at 13, as Mrs. Mueller fondly ad
mitted, was almost as good, if not very
much better, than herself. The old
lady had uot neglected Jamsey's edu
cation. He hnd gone to the public
school and had made fair progress.
He had learned German from Mrs.
Mueller and her husband and picked
up a capital smattering of French from
Monsieur Bonhomme, the poor little
cobbler In the basement of the tene
ment, t
About this time Jamsey heard of
tne cooking fccliool. it was conduotod
by some charitable ladies who lived
uptown and was held one evening a
week. ,
He obtained Mrs. Mueller's consent
and applied for admission. He was a
pretty boy; though poor, was as clean
and neat as if lie had been a million
aire'a son. Although older than the
other children, he was admitted to the
class. ,
Before the first lesson was over the
teacher found iu amazement that in
many respects the boy knew more of
cooking than she did. After three
months bad passed, she said to him
one day :
"Jamsey, you better go to a higher
school."
Jamsey knew of none.
"Didn't bis friends know?"
Jamsey had no friends.
The teacher thought herself and
gave him letter to au eminent
teacher of cookery uptown. 1 lie was

very well received when he presented
the letter, but was broken hearted
when told that the instruction cost
$ 25 a quarter.
Jamsey had never hnd more than as
many cents in all his life. He mused
a little while, and then he said:
"I'lense, ma'am, I want to lenrn
cooking with you, and I haven't got
any money. But if you'll tench me
what you know I'll teach you what I
know, and I'll wash your dishes and
clean your kitchen besides, in the bar
gain." The professor of culinary art
laughed very heartily and being a
good-natured soul took Jamsey in
upon these terms. One day a pupil
desired to learn how to make two or
three German dishes. Her husbnnd
expected to entertnin some friends
from Berlin and wished to surprise
them. The professor was at a loss to
answer, being, at a mntter of fact, ut
terly unfamiliar with Teutonic cook
ing. Juniscy, seeing the dilemma,
whispered to the teacher:
"I know how. Yon let me tench
her."
The professor said: "Thanks,
Jamsey," and told the pupil that her
nssisnnt had made a specialty of Ger
man cooking and would be only too
glad to give her tho requisite tuition.
The lady accepted, and Jamsey wns
unspeakably happy. He gave three
lessons and did it so well that both
professor and pupil were deeply
pleased. ' Better still, the pupil, who
was very well to do, cave tho little
cripple a 85 bill. He thanked her,
chuckled, and then went homo as fast
as hit Inmoness would permit. When
he burst into the room where Mrs.
Mueller was scrubbing the underside
of the table, and hnude 1 that aston
ished woman a clean, crisp bill, she
could not find words to express her
feelings.
She wont to a closet, unlocked
and opened an ancient trunk and
took from it a Dutch cap, black
velvet, with a bund in which
red, yellow, blue, orange, green nud
violet were massed iu crazy style, and
put it on the boy's head.
She said: "My boy, you have
earned your first money, nud you are
now a mail. You shall wear a man's
hat. That hat is what my husband
wore when he got out of his appren
ticeship nud became a brewory mau,
free and independent himself."
The professor was very well pleased
with Jam ley's tact and gave the boy a
very thorough training. Two years
he remained thcre.nt the end of which
time the professor said that Jamsey
mastered the profession. Jamsey
was sorry to hear the news, because
he was ambitious to learn everything
there was in regard to the kitchen.'
He had made a little money during
the time, and he had bought cookery
books under his teacher's ' advice.
The latter had also presented the boy
with foreign books, especially those
in French aud German, which were
unknown tongues to her, but not to
Jamsey.
He had also secured a number of
implements and had-refashioned many
to suit his own ideas. He was going
on 10, and, though small for his ago,
he had already the soul of a man.
About that time Mr. Mueller was taken
sick.
Ere long the sickness ended, nnd
Mrs. Mueller was a widow. What
money there hnd been pnt by had
been largely consumed during Mr.
Mueller's sickness, and his insurance
wns very small.
At the furthest thlre was but $1200,
and out of this came tho expense of
the funeral and tho cemetery. , In
Bivington street they follow the an
cient Irish practice of robbing the liv
ing to honor the dead. There was a
fine hearse aud many carriages, a cof
fin, which the neighbors called "per
fectly illigant," a lot aud a handsome
tombstone.
There were the usual funeral festiv
ities, and when this was over abont
$700 remained. Mrs. Mueller, the
evening after the funeral, said:
"Jomsey, we'll have to go to work
very soon; We have only a little
money, and it won't last two years if
we are well, nor one year if anything
Happens to us."
Jamsey said: "I start out tomor
row, Frau Mueller, but yon are too
old to work at all. I'll net the work
and take care of yon," aud so Jamsey
started.
He tried one restaurant, and the
proprietor, with an oath.snid he didn't
want any children arouud. "Get
out!"
He tried another, aud there was no
vacancy. He answered 12 or 10 ad
vertisement, but received no reply.
He then scoured employment in a Bow
ery restauraut, whore on the third day

Ho was a plucky boy and was not
disheartened, it was very bard. ho w
vsr, and it became doubly hard when
Mrs. Mueller one morning could not
get up, ami the doctor said she would
have to romaiu in bed for many
weeks, '
The new burden acted as a stimulant
npon the boy. Ho wns up early in the
morning and made the breakfast and
cleaned up the rooms. He then ar
ranged medicines and a cold luncheon
on the table alongside of the bed and
then went up into the street to look
for employment. An entire month
panned, and then inspired by a hippy
thought lie presented himself one
morning before the proprietor of one
of tiie great restaurants of the city.
The proprietor said: "Mm afraid
you're too young, my son, but you
might go down stairs nnd see the head
chef, lie attends to that part of the
business." Jamsey was encouraged
by the manner if not the matter of the
speech and went to the great kitchen
beneath the dining ball. The chef
had jnst come in, a handsome, black
ruustaclied, rosy-cheeked Alsatian, who
looked at the boy and said: "Well,
what is it?"
Jamsey sa'd: "I'd like to be a cook
here, sir."
The chof smiled and said in his own
language: "What a dear little fellow."
then iu English, "Can you oook?"
Happily for Jamsey be responded
in French, "I think I can cook as
well as most men. sir. I'd like to
have you try me."
His native tongue aroused the chef s
interest, lie said, "Ion speak my
language.
"Yos," said Jamsey, "I speak some
ironch.
"Do you speak German?" asked the
cher.
"Yes," said Jamsey.
"Can yon cook iu French and Ger
tnnn styles?"
"Yes," said Jamsey, proudly.
"Well, you are a brave boy, and I'll
try you, anyhow. You go over there
to that stove nnd cook mo some lamb
chops in some French wny aud also in
some Gorman wny, and if they are
nil right I II engage you."
Jamsey went to work in a hurv,
The other cooks looked on amuseil by
the boy's enthusiasm. He picked
out a Gerinnn snuco which he had
learned from Frau Mueller and im
proved upon himscLf. For the other
dish ho uindo n special snuce which
the cooking professor had taught him.
They were about ilnishod, and he
hud raised the saucepan containing
one, when a clumsy scullion going
past, eiWier by accident or through
mischief, ran against him, and the
contents of one saucepan went into
the other.
It had no more than happened when
the chef reappeared from some other
part of the great establishment below
stairs. He walked over to where the
speechless boy stood and said:
"Hallo, that's a handsome sauce. I
don't remember ever having seen it."
Ho took the large spoon which was in
it and stirred it. The stirring gave a
finish to the mixture, which made it
very attractive to the eye. It was of
a rich green, with a wonderful per
fume and a smooth, velvety exterior
that wos very appetizing. Tho chef
raised the spoon and tasted it,smacked
his lips aud suid:
"My son, that is the best snnce I
have tasted in ten years. You can
put on your cap and apron and go to
work now, and I ain very glad to get
so promising an assistant in my
kitchen."
The sauce has been made many hun
dred times in that restaurant since
then and is as popular as ever.
Jamsey has risen to be the second
in command and is looked tip to by all
the other employes of the house, and
Frail Mueller has left Bivington street

near Central park, w here Jamsey makes
his homo.
The Sewing Machine,
How many women who, day after
dny, keep up the recking motion of
the sewing machine treadle over stop
to think what this invention means,
not only to them, but to the whole
world? And do they know that 00
per cent, of all the machines made in
the world are the product of this great
country of ours?
Sewing machines hare revolution
ized many brnuchesof business; espe
cially is this the case in all kinds of
leather work, from the heaviest harness
to the lightest gloves,
A really first-class machine ready
for market costs about 820. ' From
this figure the price drops to about
814, with possibly $12, for the most in
ferior grades of what are considered
tolerable machines. Hundreds of
thousands of persons make their en
tire living by means of the sewing ma
.chine, and probably millions are gain
ers by its use. During a period of
over 30 years the value of the exports
of sewing machines was something
like $70,000,000. In 189G they were
considerably over 83,000.000. Three
hundred and fifty thousand pairs of
shoes wore sewed by machinery prior
to 1877, and this product has multi
plied almost past belief since that
date. New York Ledger.
A Knife Made In Ills Kneo.
Gebhard H. Koch, who came East
from Memphis, Tenn., years ajo, en
tered the hospital at Feekskill, N. Y.,
recently, and shortly afterward Sur
geon Stephen Frost Horton removed
a large piece of knife blade that Koch
had accidentally run into his knee in
Memphis thirteen years before. At
that time the wound healed and the
hidden steel was praotically forgotten,
ltecently the kneo became very pain
ful, aud serious results were feared.
Mr. Koch came to New York and had
an X-ray photograph of the knee
taken. The plate when developed
showed the piece of knife blade em
bedded close to the bone. It was re
moved by Dr. Horton after a difficult

Two Famnn Women.
Jean Ingelow nnd Mrs. Oliphant
shared a really unreasonable dislike to
"personal journalism," and went very

ture of their period.
Woman Sanitary Inspector.
Miss Bertha Thergood, who for a
year and a half has been a sanitary in
spector at St. Fancras, a section of
London, has sent in her resignation.
Miss Thergood's reason is that her in
itiatory salary was $150 less and her
full salary $200 less than the man who
hnd formerly occupied the jiosition.
Her work was of a varied character,
and the salary offered her was the
smallest of any woman sanitary in
spector in England.
Popularity of Chantilly.
Scruples have vanished with the
last turn of fashion's wheel. The old
chantilly flounces, mantillas, sacks
and parasol covers of our grandmoth
ers, kept reverently through all vicis
situdes, a badge of gentility, have at
last gone the way of their predeces
sors.. An enormous deal of chantilly,
white and black, is worn. One sees
it everywhere, chiefly over pearl, gray
and white, which seems to give it
added distinction, whereas color rather
detracts and takes from its dignity.
A Woman of the Moment.
Mrs. Kate Henderson, who was re
cently appointed snjierintendent of
the Joliet (III.) schools, is the first
woman to occupy such a position. She
is a thorough educator, experienced
and modern, and has won her way to
eminence by natural ability and hard
work. Her selection for the post of
superintendent gives general satisfac
tion. The new superintendent ' was
Miss Kate Alpine. She went to Joliet
from Wisconsin in 1850, and her edu
cation was acqnired chiefly in the pub
lic schools of the city. She began to
teach in I860 and continued in that
work until 1870, when she was mar
ried to James E. Henderson. In 1881
she returned to her profession, and
since that time she has taught in al
most every department of the schools.
Mrs. Henderson studied while she
taught. In 1895 she was elected a
member of the school board at large,
and her work in that body was most
gratifying. Her good judgment in se
lecting and assigning teachers, in the
instruction of young teachers and in
other matters regarding the advance
ment of the public schools and their
operation has now been rewarded by
her appointment as superintendent.
Mart the Long Hatpin Oof
The long hatpin which is being used
this snmmer by women has caused a
lot of trouble in London. The cable
despatches recently stated that the
London newspapers had started a
crusade against the new style in hat
pins on account of the serious acci
dents which had resulted from women
wearing them in public places. One
man hnd his eye put out by a pin in
the hat of a woman sitting beside him
in an omnibus. The jolting of the
vehicle sent her head suddenly toward
his. Another woman lost ad eye by
having it pierced by a pin in the hat
of a friend with whom she was walk
ing. It doesn't take long for a London
or Paris style to reach New York, and
the women of this city commenced
wearing the long pins in the early
part of June. The new style of pin
is anywhere from one to three inches
longer than the old style. Instead of
just coming through the band of the
hat far enough to keep it securely on
the head, it sticks so fur out that it is
dangerous to be noar a woman who
wears it. Three or four of them
few women wear less sticking
through the side of a sailor hat look
like nothing so much as the bayoneted
ends of a lot of stacked muskets. They
are more dangerona, however, aud it
is a good idea to stand up in a street
car if the only empty seats are beside
women whose heads are equipped in
this fashion.
What started the fashion is one of
the things no man will ever be able to
understand. They are the style and
women will wear thein, and that's all
there is to it. ' The Londoa newspa
pers have undertaken a big job, but,
in the interest of humanity, it is to
be hoped that they will succeed. The
crusade should belong by right to the
Humane society. There haven't been
any accidents here from the long hat
pins yet. New York Sun.
Units and Girdle.
In width the belt for next season's
wear shows a decided increase. The
narrowest shown are two generous
inches in width, while the widest are
deep girdles reaching half the distance
between the arms aud the waist line.
Materials for belts are more varied
than ever before. All sorts and colors
of leather will be used, while the fab
ric belts will include even those of
velvet. Velvet belts are, as a rule,
several inches in width, and fastened
by leather straps and leather covered
buckles. They are not particularly
elegant and certainly add to, rather
than take from, the siee of the waist.
That one quality is considered by tho
dealers sufficient to prevent their wide
popularity, though they are among
the very latest things in belts.
In leather black and the many
shades of brown promise to almost
supercede the many shades of green,
blue and red, so popnlar during the
last two seasons. The buckles of
these belts are likewise much less con
spicuous. The harness buckle in glar- '
ing silver or gilt will not be used, and
when not leather covered to match
the material of the belt, the bnckle
will be of metal nnd almost as incon
spicuous. Jeweled buckles in silver, polished
or rough finished, in silver gilt
or solid gold will be used only
with silk or satin beltings. These
new buckles all call for belts two
inches and upward in width. Tbey
are made in many new designs. There
are buckles for the bicycle girl, the
athletic girl, the yachting girl, the
skating girl, the golf girl, the horsey
girl, the military girl, the daucing
girl and even the old fashioned girl,
who is supposed to like things plaiu
but elegant. Metnl belts will be as
much nsed as ever. ' The newest de
signs are all made wider, though not
sufficiently so to be nncomfortable or
clumsy looking. Many of them show
a profusion of jewels and the most
stylish ones are very ornate. t An es
pecially pretty belt of this kind was a
succession of silver shells enameled
in natural colors and connected by
tiny silver links mndeto resemble bits
of seaweed. Another was a string of
English dnises with jeweled centres
and petals of polished silver. The
connecting links were of silver, green
enamelled, giving just a suggestion of
foliage.
For fancy girdles satin and taffeta
silk are the favorite materials. They
are made with points, either before or
behind, or both, while some are plain,
fastening in front, just a little to the
left, with a large, upstanding bow.
Other girdles, so deep as to only need
the addition of shonlder straps to
serve as bodices, are made of bias silk
or satin, fit as snugly to the waist as
possible, nnd are closed at the seam
under the arm. These deep girdles '
are becoming to slender women, and
especially those lacking in well de
veloped busts. Stonter women will
stick to the two inch belt narrow nn
der the arms and widening to a point
in front and behind.
