Bridget's Broth.
Of MRS. KATE
It was 9 o'clock in the morning, and
the doctor had paid an early visit to
his patient, Mrs. Appleton, leaving In
structions with her falthwul attend
ant, Bridget.
"She is past the danger line now,
Biddy, so feed her up; we must make
her take nourishment whether she
cares for it or not."
"What will I be giving her, doctor,
she j 1st ates like a bird at the best of
times?"
"Try a good, strong, lamb broth,
end given her two raw eggs per day;
now feed her up, and we will soon
have her out again."
"Indade, and I will, doctor; It do
seem as if the whole house was gone
with her so still."
"Well, Biddy, It all depends on you
now, if you do not feed her well, I
shall have to send In one of my
trained nurses, and you know how
much you like them, eh, Biddy?"
The doctor closed the front door
softly, and went out laughing. Biddy
was a good friend of his, but he loved
to tease her a bit.
As he got into his carriage, he re
called with much amusement Biddy's
Indignation some two years since,
when Mrs. Appleton was stricken sud
denly with an acute attack, and he
had Installed a trained nurse.
Now, there are trained nurses and
trained nurses, as every one knows.
The dear, gentle, faithful souls, who
get into our hearts as well as our
homes.
Biddy could never forget that ex
perience. The first act of the nurse
was to forbid Bridget to enter the
room. The patient, although speech
less and suffering, longed for her ever
devoted helper, and Biddy was heart
broken.
This time, with young Harold away
at school and Bridget the sole com
forter of his widowed mother,, Bridget
was to reign supreme.
Why not, pray? Had she not lived
with the dear lady in her father's
home from the time Miss Bessie first
entered a kindergarten, and then did
she not prepare the new home for the
bride? Who but Biddy knew the
agony of those dreary days of early
widowhood, and who could read the
face so dear to her as the one who
knew her best?
It was a sweet, old story of mistress
and maid, and the doctor well knew
how dependent his frail patient was
upon the greathearted Irish woman,
who had no other home and cared for
none.
When the doctor's carriage was out
of sight, Biddy crept softly up stall s
to find her charge resting with closed
eyes. "Dear heart of her," said Biddy
eoftly," she do be making the s'ga of
the cross with her white hands, and
it's the best broth In the town I'll be
making for her."
Down stairs went Biddy, and soon
She was telephoning for supplies.
That duty over, she went into her
well-orSered kitchen, and, while mak
ing necessary preparations for the
broth, talked as was her custom, to
herself. "The doctor was laughing, he
was, but praise be the saints, there
will be no more sticking of that nas
ty little theomometer in her mouth,
and no more messes for her to eat,
and she that dainty. I do be coaxing
her all the while. .Oh, but .the airs
of her made me so argrl that I was
doing penance for it. 'Bridget,' sez she:
I want some steak for my breakfast,
at 8 o'clock,' sez she, 'and do you
be cutting it an inch thick, and don't
put it on the broiler until I give the
word,.for I must have it smoking hot.'
"Another time she came down, and
' sez she: 'Bridget, I don't like your
omlettss, or the way you ceok e?gs,'
sez she; 'I will have to show you how
I was taught in the diet kitchen of
the hospital.'
'"All right, mum,' sez I; 'my cook
ing pleases the one who pays me for
It, and that is the chief concern of
Bridget O'Connor.'
"Ohr the way she would come down
ordering me around, was enough t3
put me in a fever. I do pride mc
self that my ri.nge and my kitchen Is
at neat as any in the city, and it's the
dear doctor, himself, who has raid so
many's the tine; but tbs high ani
mighty nuue, down sho came, and
sez: 'Bridget, you da need some les
sons in sanitary science, In dee 3 ycu
do.'
" 'In what, Mlssr sez f. "Which was
wicked of me, for the blessed missus
bad told me all about 1., and was very
particular herself; why not, when she
Is a director of a cooking school, but I
was stupid on purpose, heaven for

she, in. her proud way, wld the head
of her up in the air.
".'And what is it like, miss?' sez I,
'do you boll It, or cook It In the oven?
We never eat fried meats here.
" 'Bless mo,' sez she, 'what dense
Ignorance one finds even in good fam
ilies. You see, Bridget, she went on,
'Mrs. Appleton is never very strong,
and you should know what to do for
her.'
"'Yes, miss, sez I, 'seeing that I
have done for her since she put on
short frocks, mebbe I might learn, If
she asks it.'
"Weil, that woman turned our house
upside down, and she kept me that
worried that I lost ten pounds of flesh,
which I might well spare, but I lost
my sleep, which was worse.
"At last she went The doctor need
ed her somewhere else; and I clapped
the two hands of me 'till they ached,
when she went out of the door, and
the dear missus, she said 'Amen' as
hearty as the Methody man who lives
next door.
"That's why there Is no trained
nurse this time. A good, strong broth
is it; well, the dear lady shall have
it as quick as I can make it, for this
morning, when she said to the doctor:
'Let. no one take care of me but Bid
dy, doctor, for she knows just what to
do,' I was happy.
" 'All right,' sez the doctor, and I
was that proud I wanted to hug my
poor dear, and the doctor, too, indis
criminate like."
All day Biddy trotted back and forth
wearing her felt slippers, and the In
valid was happy, knowing how pleased
her kind servitor was.
Down in the kitchen the "strong
broth" was being made, not according
to auy formula of the hospital diet
kitchen, but as Biddy pleased, and
her mistress liked to have It done.
At last it was ready, and Biddy pre
pared a tray on which she placed two
well-browned crackers, a pretty china
bowl, a few flowers in a tiny vaso, and
some glossy damask napkins.
Love had taught Biddy some things
which were beyond the ken of many
blessed with a more liberal education.
She knew that the best dish in the
world would never tempt Mrs. Bessie
unless It was served In a dainty man
ner. She had learned, also, never to
cook the rice In the broth, but to add
it after it was thoronghly cooked. The
broth was skimmed and seasoned, and
Bridget surveyed her work with great
satisfaction. But fate, the rascal, was
on the alert to disturb Biddy's confid
ence. Just as Biddy mounted the Btairs,
the front door bell rang sharply, and
a sudden movement caused one of the
felt slippers to slip on the smooth,
waxed floor, and away went Biddy,
tray, broth, flowers, dishes and a'.l,
clattering down to the room below.
Even one lamp chimney or one small
plate can make not only a terrible
noise, but with fiendish glee they are
capable of producing endless bits and
pieces, to aggravate the unfortunate
victim of the break.
The patient nearly sprang from her
bed, as the crash was heard. The sil
ence at last became unbearable, and
she called in anxious tones: "Oh, Bid
dy, nre you hurt?"
- No answer.
"Bridget, do tell me, are you in
jured, have you broken a leg or any-'
thing but dishes?"
Still silence down below.
It was too much for poor Mrs. Ap
pleton, whose mind pictured a dozen
evils; and in spite of bandases, anti
phloglstlne and hot water bags, she
sprang from her bed and crept into
the hall.
The sight which met her eyes as she
gazed over the banisters Into the living
room, was ludicrous beyond words.
The newel post was decorated with
a napkin, from which dripped a slow
stream of broth, the floor was spat
tered with rice, far too moist for a
bridal paity; and bits of chica were
to be seen here and there.
In the middle cf an criental rug, sat
Biddy bolt upright," rubbing her eyes
with a fat, broth-bathed hand.
She had not heard hor mistress; and
was slmuly dazed by the accident. ' Oh,
the like3 of it," she murmured, half
to herself:-"and the poor dear need
ing nourishment."
A voice from above interrupted her;
"Bridget, tell me at once, have you
broken any bones; if you do not tell
me I shall come down."
Looking up, Biddy saw the white
face of her patient, and In an instant,
she forgot herself and her keen dis
appointment, and before there was
time to remonstrate, Mra Appleton
was hurried into bed and nearly
smothered with blankets.
"Oh, my dear, my por dear," said
Biddy, "it's getting a death cold you'll
be, and all for that old bell ringing."
"I'm all right now, Biddy; and you
must excuse me for laughing, but
you did look so .droll sitting there,
and"
"Shure I was that mad," said Bid
dy, "I lost me voice, and me breaking
that pretty bowl you brought from
France; and the strong broth wasted
and me a sight to beho!d."
Then both mistress and maid began
to laugh, and the merry laughter in
creased the circulation, which was the
very thing the doctor wanted to do,
and Bridget was happy when she re
membered that more strong broth
could be had in her kitchen,- nnd no
one was hurt.
Many times during the day Mrs. Ap
pleton found herself laughing over
the mishap as she thought of Biddy's
picture on the oriental rug.
"What a snap shot Harold would
have made of it," sho said to herself,
and then she laughed again.
The next morning, the doctor found
his patient much better, nnd the tem
perature nearly normal.
"Biddy," he said, "did you make the
strong broth?"
"Indeed nnd I did, doctor."
"And did Mrs. Appleton relish it."
"Very much," Eald that lady, and
then began to laugh again. The doc
tor insisted on hearing the story, and
he, too, laughed merrily with them.
As he said good morning, he could
not refrain from teasing his friend
Bridget, and remarked with a twinkle
in his handsome eyes: "Biddy, the
next time I order strong broth just
make it strong enough to get over the
stairs."
Mrs. Appleton recovered rapidly, and
insists upon it that a "merry heart
doeth good like medicine." From the

HUMAN 8ACRIFICE IN RUSSIA.'
Amazing Story of Fanaticism Which
Is Being Investigated.
An amazing story of fanaticism has
come from the village of Susoyeff, In
southern Russia.
A peasnnt named MIchaloff had an
exceedingly clever little boy", who be
came famous in the village as a prod
igy and was admired, almost as a
miraculous being.
In the same locality there lived a
rich and "religious" peasant called
the "Saint," who was believed to be a
prophet.
This "Saint" grew envious of the
child's popularity and began to
spread rumors that should he be a
lowed to grow up he would becomo
the anti-Christ and bring untold woe
upon the peasants.
On July 30 the "prophet" called a
meeting of the 30 richest peasants in
the district; to whom he explained
that if the boy was killed they would
be made happy and prosperous and
the village would become the capital
of the country.
It was agreed to sacrifice the child.
Two days later the "Saint" gave or
ders to the men, took nn Icon in his
hand and distributed lighted candles
among his followers.
He headed the procession to the
child's home at 11 o'clock at night
and demanded that the parents should
hand the boy over as he wanted to
pray with him.
The "prophet" washed the young
ster, saying prayers meanwhile, and
then choked him by placing his foot
on his neck, in front of the parents.
Subsequently he ordered the awe
stricken father to help him to tear
the child to pieces, and as the man re
fused the body was mutilated with a
hatchet.
The remains were put Into a basket,
which was fixed to the tall of a white
mare.
The "Saint" mounted the horse and
declared that It was the will of God
that the body should be buried iat a
spot where the horse should voluntar
ily stop.
The horse was started, and the peas
ants, still burning their candles, fol
lowed. At a certain point the animal halt
ed and the remains were buried with
the hatchet and the basket
The police, hearing of the occur
rence, arrested 28 men, including the
"Saint" and nil nre now awaiting
trial. Baltimore Sun.

DUN'S WEEKtY SUMMARY
Improvement Shown Each Week Col
lections Are Better Blast Fur
nace Men Will Meet to Con
sider Wage Scale.
R. G. Dun & Company's weekly re
view of trade says:
Progress la slow, but each week
brings a little Improvement, and con
fldence In the future grows more rap
idly than current transactions. The
best feature Is the broader market
for commercial paper.
Leans in mercantile channels are
now negotiated freely at little more
than the normal rate, facilitating
postponed undertakings and making
collections more prompt.
Buyers are coming Into the lead
ing markets In large numbers, which
should soon Increase transactions un
less prices cannot be adjusted. Man
ufacturers Increase production gradu
ally, conservatism being general, and
many Industries are not operating
more than 50 per cent of their full
capacity.
Several more steel plants have re
sumed nnd others will commence next
week, but production will continue
much reduced until orders como for
ward with greater freedom. Blast
furnaces are slow to resume, nnd a
meeting will be held next week to de
termine upon wage Bcale. Prices
have declined to an extent that neces
sitates plans for lowering costs of
production. A fair tonnage was taken
by manufacturers of cast iron pipe,
but concessions in prices are asked
by all buyers.
Textile mills still restrict produc
tion, although there Is less Idle mach
inery now that at any time since the
curtailments began in December.
More lines of woolens have been
opened, low and medium fabrics now
being fully shown, yet without arous
ing interest among buyers, who ex
press the belief that delay will bring
concessions.
Footwear buyers are gathering in
the Boston market, and a large vol
ume of business can be reached re
garding values.
Leather continues to reflect the se
vere decline in hides last year, ex
cept that Bmall receipts of heavy sole
sustain that variety.
