Tliree AVise Monkeys.
Louise Ilirtsel, a leader In artistic
circles In Chicago, has conceived the
Idea of using the "three vise mon
keys of Japan" as a candlestick,
match holder or Incense burner. She
believes this will make the monkeys
as popular as Billiken. New York

As Inspectors.
The county Judge of Cook County,
111., has recommended the appoint
ment of a woman as Inspector of all
. Institutions to which delinquent and
deficient children are committed. He
suggests a salary of $1800 a year.
Heretofore club women of the State
have conducted examinations of such
Institutions and where remuneration
was necessary the money came out of
club funds. New York Sun.
Muffs Are Immense.
The new muffs are Immense, and
often seem to use up all the fur the
otfner has at her disposal, for her
throat is protected only by a little
conceit of fur. In other cases there
Isn't enough fur even for the muff,
and it has to he pieced out with some
other roateriaf, such as velvet, satin
or chiffon. The essential point Is the
size, not the material. These mon
strous muffs call aloud for large hats
to balance them, and are tending to
check the vogue of the small chapeau.

A Virginia Relic's Wit.
Two examples of Miss Ould's quick
ness I can personally vouch for.
Shortly before her marriage she was
at a dinner in Richmond with several
lawyers, one of whom was a noted
Munchausen; he was also a desperate
drinker and held long sessions. He
was boasting of one case In which he
had earned a $30,000 fee and then
spent in on a single spree. Her table
Marbled Cookies. For delicious marbled cookies, cream
one cupful of butter and two cupfuls of sugar. Add four
well beaten eggs, then three scant cupfuls of flour sifted
with two heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Divide
the batter in half. To one-half add either half a cupful or a
cupful of grated chocolate, according to the preference, some
people liking more and others less of this flavoring. To the
other half add the juice and grated rind of an orange. After
favoring both parts, combine them in one streaked lump of
dough, and roll it very thin. Cut the dough Into fancy
cookies with diamond, heart-shaped and triangular cutters.
Bake them in a rather hot oven. If the butter Is fresh add
a pinch of salt.

Crime on One Page.
The segregation of all accounts of
crime in a newspaper on one page was
the Idea presented to the Federation
of Women's Clubs in annual session
at Rochester, N. Y., by Mrs. A. C.
FIsk, newspaper and magazine writer.
The Federation, after Mrs. Flsk's
address, adopted resolutions In favor
of the plan, which. If adopted by
newspapers, would allow subscribers
to tear out the crime page of the
paper before their children could read
of the murders, robberies, elopements,
' divorces and other too frank adult
doings.
"I have talked with proprietors of
the largest papers from the Pacific
Coait to Rochester," said Mrs. Fisk,
"and they are perfectly willing to
segregate crime In their Issues if the
people want It served that way.
"The colored Sunday supplement
Is an Insult to Intelligence that must
go. It is viciously crude, and the tone
of its influence fills the youthful mind
with unruly Ideas. One good thing
about it is that It is segregated, so
that parents may keep It from their
children if they wish. The papers
segregate baseball and other sporting
news, financial news and editorials;
why not crime?
"It should be the aim of the Fed
eration to create wholesome public
sentiment for cleaner newspapers, and
then - the publishers will provide
them."
Mrs. Ina Brevoort Roberts, a New
York newspaper woman, said that
club women must learn that courteous
treatment of reporters pays, and that
abuse of newspapers is a sign of Ig
norance. j Founder of "King's Daughters."
Mrs. Margaret Bottome, president
of the International Order of King's
Daughters, well known as a religious

One may pay a high price for the
ready-made blouse If one is willing to
do it. There are chic imported mod
els replete with original details and
bearing an unmistakably Parisian
stamp, and these of course come high,
but such a blouse if made to order by
a dressmaker capable of producing
Buch work would cost as much or
more than the ready-mado model and
mean more trouble and time. (

HERE'S THE PERFECT
WAITER.
Soup end Culture at Chicago Orivorslty.
There Is now a school for waiters
at the University of Chicago. Forty
young men, who combine a deep
knowledge of psychology and ethics
with a gift for breaking dishes and
spilling soup on professors, are being
taught the gentle nrt of serving food
In an ultra-cultured manner at Hutch
inson Hall, the University Commons.
The laboratory method has been
chosen to start the new college. Act
ual experience three times a day will
fit the Midway youths for their new
activities and prepare them for any
exigency that may arise after the
completion of their education.
Thomas L. Barrell, manager ot the
Commons, is dean of the latest uni
versity department.
The Commons manager attacked
his Btibject under six different heads,
Including the "last word," In italics,
In which the aspiring waiter is noti
fied that "good scholarship will not
make up for a deficiency in efficient
and willing service." Mr. Barren's
aim is to obtain artistic service from
the kitchen to the customer and then
bnck again with the leavings.
The volunteers, who nre trying
their best to memorize the new rules,
will receive three twenty-cent meals a
day for their service, which will be
two and a half hours lu duration.
They will be given the extra atten
tion of receiving bread, butter, and
a drink with each meal, but they
must not "take rolls or gems In place
of bread."
Following are some of the rules for
the perfect waiter laid down by Mr.
Barrell:
Do not talk, gcuGle, or drop your
trays. i
Avoid, In nil cases, eating your
meals in sections, part before and
part after you work; avoid keeping
Ice cream or a la modo checks In.
your pockets.
It Is not permitted that you have
any one else eat In your place.
Avoid In all cases handling bread
with your fingers In taking things
off your tray.
Most customers desire some part of
their order first.
Where fried eggs or poached are
served, care should be taken to keep
the yolk of the egg unbroken.
A waiter should never leave any
customer, after serving an order, till
he knows that he has the necessary
silverware to eat with and glass of
water.
If necessary, wipe the bottom of
dishes with a napkin.
Be careful not to allow your tray
to drip on the floor and do not brush
crumbs off the table on the floor.
To be. a good waiter it is essential
that you Bhould bo quick, but also
that you should not apponr to hurry.
Avoid appearing to slam things
down on the table.
Butter should be served one tab on
a plate, as this will aid In saving un
used tabs.
! Reading newspapers or studying
while on duty should be avoided.
Do not lean over a chair to talk to
a customer at your table, but do your
talking standing up.
The customers will not be etpectcd
to live up to the waiters. Some of
them do strange things, according to
the manager. One graduate student
came to breakfast every morning last
summer, always ordering simply a
cup of hot water. Manager Barrell
strained the Biblical example and
gave It to him free of charge, until
he discovered that the learned young
man surreptiously dropped a small
tablet ot prepared chocolate Into It
and partook of a warm and savory
drink every time. This will no longer
be tolerated. Chicago Record-Herald.
nOAV TO STOP A MOTOR CAR.
It Isn't Ensy to Do It In a Big Hurry
Without Skidding.
Wever do anything suddenly with
an automobile," writes an experienced
driver in Outing. "Only so can wear
and tear on the car be minimized, not
to mention accidents. Suppose you
are confronted with the necessity for
a sudden stop. Your amateur impulse
will be to jam down the clutch pedal,
grip the emergency brake lever and
clamp ihe wheels Into cessation of
their revolution.
"The motor, thus relieved of Its
load, will begin to race, the flywheel
will spin around with increasing ve
locity, and you are lucky If, especially
on wet asphalt, your car does not skid
around like a top, hit the curb and
turn turtle with you underneath. The
wear of this sort ot stop on the tires
should be a sufficient consideration
for you to refrain, from cultivating it.
"If, on the other hand, you first
elose the throttle, then throw out the
clutch and apply the brake just hard
enough to allow the wheels barely to
revolve your car will come to a safer
and speedier stop without strain. The
motions to accomplish this must of
course be practically simultaneous,
but they are uo more difficult than
those required for the wrong kind of
stop. Once at rest, you open the
throttle instantly and advance the
spark if necessary to start the engine.
The clutch can then be thrown in
gradually when you wish to advance."
Because the demand for machinery
Is exceeding the product in the do
mestic market, it is likely that this
country will soon be buying foreign
machinery.
RAIL ORDERS REPORTED.

tinues to Be for Structural
Shapes. East and West.
Cleveland The "Iron Trade Re
view" says:
"In addition to the heavy sales of
pig iron made to pipe companies last
week, some additional tonnages have
been purchased, and these companies
are anxious to Recurs more of the
lower (rrudes. The general prloe of
No. 2 foundry iron, Birmingham, is
now $14 for the first quarter, and this
price con be done for the first half,
inhere are suine soft spots in the mar
ket and in the Pittsburgh and Cleve
land districts there Ims been some
rather sharp competition) the mini
mum quotations being on a base of
$17, Valley, for No. 2.
"The Illinois Kteel Company re
ports rail sules of 1! 1,0(10 tons in addi
tion to the Illinois Central tonnage
previously reported. Purchases by
the Uurrimaii lines since June
amountto over 200,ti00 tons. It Is note
worthy, however, that purchases of
steel rails by Kastern lines this year
have been limited. Many railroads
have confined their buying largely
to rolling stock, on which prices have
been low. In the Eastern territory,
no very large contracts for structural
material have been placed, but the
aggregate tonnage of small orders is
good.
"It lias been decided by Important
Lake Superior ore Interests thut there
will be uu advance of 50 cents per ton
on Bessemer grades, and that there
will be no change in the base guar
antee of iron of either Bessemer or
non-Bessemer grades."
