Clergyman'! Experiment
A laudable attempt on the pact of a
Nottlng Hill clergyman to practically
the working class portion
of his flock the combined benefits of
religion and a tankard of beer has, we
regret to hear, proved unsuccessful.
The Rev. Prebendary Denison started,
for the social pleasure of his congrega
tion, a club, where the reverend gen
tleman or his curate went, after dis
pensing theological pabulum In th€
church, and served the members with
beer and other corporeal refreshments.
Tho Idea was to keep them away from
public houses and to afford them hem
tst recreation with a reasonable amount
of tipple. By the rules no man could
be served with Hquor more than three
times In the course of a night. But the
clergyman was unaware of the degree
If not of original sin at least of bibulous
Ingenuity among the rougher classes ol
Notting Hill. They evaded the rule
by clubbing together their twopencea
and treating each other, so that in the
courso of tho evening a member was
able to obtain half a dozen, or even
more, drinks, instead of three. The re
sult was sometimes unpleasant, and
the Prebendary has therefore reluct
antly determined to give up the experi
ment.—London Telegraph.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
To Prepare a Salmon Salad.
Take one can salmcn, small quan
tity of celery cut up fine, a little salt,
yolk of a liard-boiled egg, mixed with
one teaspoonful of dry mustard, a
sufficient quantity of vinegar which,
when mixed with the egg and mus
tard, will cover tho salmon. Chop up
the white of the egg and mix with the
salad.
A Lemon Pie That Wins Approval.
A recipe for lemon pie that never
fails of approval calls for one teacup
of sugar, one tablespoonfnl (scant) of
butter, two eggs, juice and grated rind
of one lemon, one teacupful of boiling
water, one tablespoonful of cornstarch
dissolved in cold water. Stir the
cornstarch into the hot water, add the
butter and sugar, and cok until clear,
taking care that it does not scorch.
Remove to edge of the range, add the
well-beaten yolks of the ei gs and the
lemon, and pat in shell of paste, al
ready baked. Whip the whites stiff,
adding two tahlcspoonfuls of sugar
and a few drops of lemon juice, spread
over the pie and brown iu a slow
oven.
Making the Uravy.
To prepare gravy stir into the
grease left after frying half a dozen
chops an even tablespoonful of Hour.
If no extra grease has been used to
cook tbe chops, that which has been
tried out of them will absorb this
amount of flour. Add about a cup of
boiling Water and stir until all tbe
brown bits in the pan are taken up.
Season the gravy with half ateaspoou
ful of salt and a little pepper; add
half a cup more of water, and let the
gravy simmer for five minutes. When
it is poured out the pan can be easily
washed with hot soapsuds.
The materials which mado it hard
to wash before are used in the gravy.
When the gravy is cold any grease
that may not have been absorbed will
rise to the top and can be removed.
If the gravy is needed at once the fat
can be skinimed off, though this is not
so easy to do. Not only is it difficult
to take off enough of .the fat, but in
tho process a utensil is unnecessarily
soiled, aud time must be used in wash
ing it.
Chocolate Cream Layer Cake.
One>cup sugar and a tablespoonful
of butter stirred to a cream; two eggs,
well beaten; one-half cup of sweet
milk and one aud a half cups of flour
sifted with one teaspoonful of baking
powder. Bake in two layers in jelly
tins. For the filling, boil three
fourths of a cup of milk with a half
tablespoonful of butter, ' alf a cup ol
Bugar, two tablespooafuls of grated
chocolate and a tablespoonfnl of corn
starch, wet with a little cold water.
Stir and boil a few minutes, take from
the fire and add to it one beaten egg
and a tablespoonful of extract of va
nilla. Let cool, then spread over one
layer of the cake and put the other on
top. Dust the top layer thickly with
powdered sugar, or cover with a
chocolate glaze made by boiling one
pound of sugar and a half pint of
water with a quarter pound of grated
chocolate till it threads between the
fingers. Take from the fire and stir
till a thin skin forms on top, then use
at once. Set the cake in a cool oven
for a few minutes. This glaze is nice
to use when you are making several
cakes.
Tloasehold Hints.
An excellent way to serve eggs is
hard-boiled, with mayonnaise or cream
sauce.
For removing from the hands stains
made bj paling fruits and vegetables
use oxalic acid.
It is alleged that ink stains on white
goods may bo effectually removed by
washing first in strong brine and thou
wetting the spot in lemon juice.
Black silk may be freshened, it is
said, by washing it in salted water.
Tho salt is alleged to keep the silk
from stiffening when it is ironed.
For hard pudding sauce rub together
two ounces of butter, four of flour aud
the juice of half a lemon until thor
oughly mixed, whereupon keep cold
till wanted for use.
Boiling water ought never to be
poured over tea-trays, japanned goods
and tbe like, in that it cracks the var
nish. Wush, rather, with warm water,
a soft sponge and a very little soap.
Sweet oil is good for taking out marks
made by hot things.
To clarify vinegar, pour into a bot
tle of it half a teacupful of fresh, sweet
milk and let the whole stand for tweu
ty-four hours. As the sediment will
settle to the bottom with the curdled
milk, the clear liquor may then he
poured off into another bottle.
Something that makes an appetizing
dish "on the side" for breakfast is
made from two eggs beaten with two
tablespoonfnls of milk. Fry like a
pfincake (it will make four); spread
with butter and dust with salt and
pepper and roll liko an omelet.
When you propose to polish win
dows, mirrows, etc., with whiting, the
best way to use it is to put it in mus
lin bags. Dampen the glass, rub with
the bag of whiting ami polish with
newspaper. This is the most economi
cal as well as the most convenient
way.
When glass globes have become dull
and grimy soak them iu hot water to
which you have added a little sal soda.
Then take them into another dish of
hot water in which you have put a
a tablespoonful of household ammonia
and scrub the inside with a stiff brush.
Rinse and wipe.

DESERTING IS AN ART.
ENLISTED MEN CO ABOUT IT WITH
CREAT CIRCUMSPECTION.
fa JTo Navy nn Intending Deserter Is Al
ways Spotted by His Shipmates—A Sol
dier Who Took French Leave in
Unique Way—Aided by ISumbout Men,
When a bluejacket or marine Una
decided to desert, he says very little
about it, even to his intimate friends
among his shipmates, but, for some
mysterious reason that has never been
satisfactorily explained, and probably
never will be, the word is nearly al
ways passed around among the men
forward that So-aud-So is about to go
over the side. Occasionally the same
news will get aft to the wardroom, but
officers have discovered the futility of
bothering their heads about intending
Jleserters. The intending deserter al
ways waits until he attains the tirst
class on the conduct class list of his
ship, which permits him to draw all of
the money due him except a month's
pay, that is always carried on tho pay
muster's books for all hands. Mean
time ho makes his preparations for the
jump. He usually goes in light
marching order. Such articles of his
kit as mustering suits, pea coats, etc.,
that are of any value he sells for al
most nothing to his shipmates or gives
away. The things he can use, as, for
example, underwear, he does up in a
small package, together with whnt few
family photographs, letters, and trink
ets he may possess and wish to keep,
and gives the bundle to the kumbout
man, who stocks a dinghy with to
bacco, soap, brushes, and such small
articles, and sells them at exorbitant
prices to men forward on warships.
Tho bumboat man, often an ex-blue
jacket or marino himself, is always on
the side of the mau who purposes
jumping ship, and he takes good care
of the intending deserter's bundle un
til the man claims it ashore. The
bumboat man also undertakes to look
around ashore for a cheap outfit of
clothes, shoes, and hat for the man
who is about to leave the navy with
out waiting for hi 3 discharge. He
makes a small commission on the out
fit. "Monthly money" day comes
around, and the inteudiug deserter
draws all the money he hns earned,
except the month's pay retained.
Then comes the day upon which he
is entitled to go ashore. He goes and
simply forgets to come back. The of
ficer of his division reports him ab
sent without leave for ten days—and
every time he does so there is a gen
eral grin alone the lines of men for
ward assembled at quarters—and then
he is marked on the ship's log as a de
serter. The chief master-of-nrms,who
has probably known all about it since
the day of the deserter's departure,
goes through the form of looking
through the wire locker of the mau
who has gone, and of course finds
nothing except, perhaps, an old cap
ribbon, a worn forage cop, or a soiled
watch mark or rating badge. If the
deserter gives himself up he may have
to serve from one to three years at the
naval prison at Mare Island or at Bos
ton, but he is not hunted. Marines
who desert from navy yards, however,
are carefully sought for by the civil
authorities of the town contiguous to
the yard.
I A soldier in the army goes about the
business of desertion with great care,
complaisance and circumspection. A
soldier does not often have much
money when he makes his escape, for
his pay is small, and the money-con
suming canteen is never far from the
quarters. As often as not he will leave
all of the truck in his chest behind,for
there is nobody answering to the char
acter of the bumboat man to help him
in getting away. He will always wait
for pay day,so as to have a few dollars
for immediate expenses. Then he
quietly walks to the railroad station
and puts ns many miles between him
self and the post he has quit as his
money will carry him. By tho lime
he has reached the station his bunkies
have (swooped down upon his chest
and looted it of everything of value,
for tho deseiter has told them of his
iutention to go aud has left explicit
directions as to tho distribution of his
gear. He does not hand it around be
fore going, because by doing so he
might excite the suspicion of the first
sergeant, who generally has a keen
eye in such matters.
A few years ago there was a oorporal
who deserted from Port Wiugato in
heavy marching order —blanket, haver
sack, knapsack, overcoat, suit of un
derwear, pair of socks, towel, comb
and brush, loggings, campaign hat
and cartridge belt, tin cup and plate,
and rifle—but he was unique.
Not mauy years ago a recruit nt
David's Island (now Fort Sloeum), N.
Y., received word that his mother was
dying in a little town in New Jersey.
Ho showed tho captain of his company
the letter aud asked for leave of ab
sence long enough to go to his moth
er's bedside. Tho captain, who
feared that the telegram was bogus,
declined to let the recruit go. The
recruit appealed to the commanding
ing officer, who refused to lot him go
on the same ground. So, iu the mid
dle of winter, the recruit swam tho
heavy tide that runs between David's
Island and New Eochelle and made
his way to tho bedside of his mother
iu time to closo her eyes. She had
hardly died before a squad of soldiers
from David's Island came to the house
after the deserter. Tho recruit
emptied two charges of buckshot into
the squad, fortunately killing none of
them, but ho was taken. The young
man's punishment was light.

SECRET LANGUAGE.
Fho Jargon Thnt Children Make Up to
Convey Their Momentous Secrets.
Oscar Chrismau has a novel article
!n the Century on "The Secret Lan
guage of Childhood," in the course of
which he gives many whimsical ex
amples. Mr. Chrismau says;
The secret-language period is a thing
of child nature. There are three dis
tinct periods in language-learning by
the child. The first is the acquiring
of the mother-tongue. The second
period comes shortly after the time of
beginning to learn the mother-tongne,
aqd is a language made np by the
children who, perhaps, find them
selves unable to master the mother
tongue. Very few children have a
complete language of this kind, but
nil children have a few words of snch.
Then comes the secret-language pe
riod. Although in a very few cases
the learning of secret languages began
about the sixth year, and in some in
stances the period ran till after tho
eighteenth year, yet the vast majority
of cases are covered by the period be
tween tho oighth and the fiftoeuth
year, while thegrentestuse is between
the tenth and the thirteenth year.
There are many reasons why chil
dren learn and use these languagos.
One lady confesses that she originated
a language, and introduced it into a
mysterious set of ten, in order to
write notes in school; and she truly
adds that had their teachers discovered
the key, they would have learned many
truths.
It can never be known whether
these languages originated in the very
first cases with children. The nam£s
would in many instances imply that
children had to do with them, as they
show things familiar to the child and
loved by him. So in the secret lan
guages, we find animals playing an im
portant part in the naming. The hog,
dog, goose, pigeon, pig, fly, cat and
other animals, are attached to these
languages. The child in the old-fash
ioned school, where all sat together,
hearing the (to him) senseless and un
known Latin, would naturally attach
the name to his language, and tlius
give birth to Hog Latin, Goose Latin,
etc. Seeing or hearing a language, one
letter may strike the child's fancy, as
as in one or the letter h is "hash,"
and so Hash language is the result.
In another "bub" (b) finds the funny
spot in child nature, and so Bub talk
comes forth. The child in former days,
so frequently hearing of the a-b-c's,
would, upon the construction of an al
phabet language, at once recur to such,
and so name this the A-Bub-Ciu-I)ud
language.
Capturing Deserters.
Until about six years ago tho mili
tary authorities paid SOU for the ap
prehension of a deserter. As a result
of this system there arose in the im
mediate vicinity of large military
posts a class of men known in the
army vernaoular a3 "hounds," clothed
with tho rights of special officers,
who made a business of apprehending
army deserters for the SOO reward.
These men very rarely failed to
gather in their prey, even if they
very often succeeded in doing so only
at the price of broken heads or worse
injuries. Those that took up their
stands near posts where desertions
were unusually common on account of
the nndesirability of tho soldiering
made a lot of money at this business.
They gained not only the hatrod of
the enlisted men, but of the officers as
well, for upon every deserter brought
in a general court-martial had to be
held, and the men with the shoulder
straps, who are almost a unit in de
spising general court-martial duty,
found thnt they were compelled to be
almost constantly arrayed in their
full-dress clothes as members of
courts, and were loaded down with
work besides, for tho disposition of a
deserter's case by general court-mar
tial involves a tremendous amount of
clerical labor. It was with these con
siderations in view that tho War De
partment reduced the blood money for
the capture of deserters to $lO, the
present figure.
The Young Prince Likes American Pics
As there is a certain contingent of
people always interested in tastes and
doings of royalty, it will be interest
ing to them to learn that the young
Prince of Belgium has done us the
honor to compliment our American
pies. This will, of course, put a pre
mium on pies in tho minds of many,
and it is probable pies hereafter will
figure in many stylish mentis. This
evidence of good taste on the part of
the Prince indicates that he is pos
sessed of good, wholesome ideas as to
what he oats, but good as our pies are,
lie ought to be warned against eating
too much of thom, for ho might be
come awaro before leaving the coun
try that indigestion is one of the prev
alent ailments of Americans.
There aro some lovers of pies in New
England who go so far as to eat them
at breakfast, but of course the gentle
men escorting tho young Prince will
prohibit any indulgence of that kind,
and the Prince really should only in
dulge his preferred taste at his noon
meal.—Trenton (N. J.) American.

"Your* Truly."
The habits of people lm signing let
ters are recelrlng some attention, and
Interesting conclusions are drawn from
a study of tho different ways writers
subscribe themselves. The curt
"Yours" and "Yours truly" are found
not only In business letters, but In per
sonal notes as well, for there arc plenty
of correspondents who don't believe In
gush, and who think that "Yours truly"
or "sincerely" means about all they
wish to convey. Opposed to these sen
sible and essentially practical persons
Is that class of writers made up usual
ly of young and enthusiastic Individ
uals, as a rule of the gentle sex, who
throw words about as carelessly on pa
per as they do In conversation. The
use of the word love by such people
Is a distressing sign of emotional weak
ness, or carelessness, or of Insincerity,
and possibly arises from the same Im
pulse that prompts women to kiss each
other Indiscriminately. One Boston
girl, who Is quoted by the Journal, has
taken her own stand In the matter, and
at the risk of being considered "cold"
and "thoroughly Boston" she sticks to
It. In her childhood she was taught to
sign "affectionately yours" to her far
away greataunts and second cousins,
some of whom she had never seen, but
all of whom she tried to like, because
of the claims of kindred, and the word
"affectionately" came to mean to her
nothing at all except polite and neces
sary Action. So she signs "affection
ately" to people she Is supposed to be
conventionally fond of, and when she
says anything more she means it. She
thoroughly approves of "Cordially
yours," and this, by the way, is seen
more and more frequently now In
notes between acquaintances who are
en distinctly friendly or eordliW terms.
After all, "Your friend," when it can be
used truthfully, Is a simple and satis
factory way of ending friendly letters.
Some people have the habit of not pre
facing their names with any Bet form
of words at the end of letters. They
stop when they get through, and write
their signatures without any frllla.—
