Bishop Potter of New York City de
plores the decline of homo cooking,
and expresses sorrow for the coming
of what he calls the "tinned" era.
What a country is China for the
newspapers of the future! For the
400.000,000 inhabitants of the Celestial
Empire there are at present 50 news
papers, or only one for every 8,000,000.
Both the London Express and the
London Mail dwell upon the decadence
•of British trade owing to American
and German competition. They are
endeavoring to get self-satisfied John
Bull to realize the seriousness of the
situation.
In the future, it is not unlikely that
riders of motor machines on in-door
tracks will be arrayed in foot ball
suits. The motor team of the future
will have head-pieces, thickly padded
suits, with particularly heavy padding
at the knees and elbows. Even nose
pieces will be worn. In the falls men
cut their heads so that stitches have
to be taken; they skin their shoulders
and elbows, throw their fingers out of
joint and injure themselves in a dozen
different ways. The padded suits will
prevent all this.
The Colorado Museum association
has bought a collectic.i of stuffed
birds and animals, which will be the
nucleus of a great Rocky Mountain
museum, the site of which will be the
City Park of Denver. A museum
thoroughly representative of the
Rocky Mountain region would be of
the highest interest and value. In par
ticular, such a museum should seek to
amass tho most complete memorials
of Indian life which, to the men of a
few hundred years hence, will be mat
ter of deep wonder and curiosity.
The postoffice department has de
cided upon six special stamps for the
benefit of the Pan-American exposi
tion at Buffalo. The one-cent stamp,
of green color, will have a picture of
a lake steamer to represent the great
transportation industry of the inland
seas in which Buffalo is so much in
terested. The two-cent stamp, printed
in red, will have a railway train; the
four-cent stamp, in red brown, an
automobile; the five-cent stamp, in
blue, a picture of the new bridge at
Niagara Falls; the eight-cent, stamp, in
lilac, a picture of the lock at Sault Ste.
Marie, and the ten-cent stamp, of light
brown, an ocean steamer.
Another communistic experiment
has come to grief in the dissolution
of tho Christian Commonwealth Col
ony, which was founded three years
ago in Muscogee county, Georgia, by
40 men, women and children fron
Ohio. They were an exceptionally in
telligent and worthy body of people.
Plain cottages were built, and a com
mon dining hall, which was also used
for religious services, was established.
The first year was a prosperous one.
Fine crops were raised and good
prices secured for the products. A
sawmill was built, a gristmill and a
broom factory were profitably operated,
and a dairy not only furnished the
community with all tho milk and but
ter needed, but afforded a surplus for
the market. Then new members came
and trouble began. Many shirked
their work; gossip and scandal be
came rife; debts were incurred which
there was no money to incet, and now
if iff announced that the colony has
tone to pieces.
The first savings bank in the United
State? was established in 1816. In 1820
there were 10 savings banks in all, with
depositors. In 1899 there were
942 -livings banks, with 5.687.060 deposi
tors. and with total deposits of s2.;?io

AT LAST.
When on my day of life the night Is
falling,
And, in the winds from unsunned
spaces blown.
I hear fur voices out of darkness call
ing
My feet to paths unknown.
Thou who hast made my home of life so
pleasant,
Leave not its tenant when its walls
decay;
0 Love divine, O Helper ever present,
Be Thou my strength and stay.
Be near me when all else Is from me
drifting.
Earth, sky, home's picture, days of
shade and shine
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
1 have but Thee. O Father! Let Thy
Spirit
Be with me then to comfort and up
hold;
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm, 1
merit;
Nor street of shining gold.
Suffice it If, my good and ill unreckened.
And both forgiven through Thy abound
ing grace,
I find myself by hands familiar beck
oned
Unto my fitting place.
Some humble door among Thy many
munsions,
Some sheltering shade where sin and J
striving cease
And flows forever through heaven's green
expansions
The river of Thy peace.
There from the music round about mc
stealing,
I fain would learn the new and holy
song.
And find at last beneath Thy trees of
healing,
The life for which T long.
—John G. Whittler.
For Love of Madeline.
BY JAMES O'SHAUGHNESSY.
(Copyright, 1900, by Daily Story Pub. Co.)
Although I had been a frequent
caller at the home of Madelaine Zim
mer, as I had a right to be, I had never
met Charles Newkirk there. Indeed,
there were many other young men of
my acquaintance whom I had never
met at her home, for that matter, but
tho fact that Newkirk and I never
happened to be callers in the luxurious
house of the Zimmers at the same
time is worthy of mention. This was
the Newkirk who was in love with
Madelaine.
His tenderness for her was hardly
within my knowledge, as he had never
told me of it, but it was so firmly a
matter of belief with me that it in
terfered with my ease of mind. I knew
he called to see her; that was suffi
cient to make out a plain ease of ri
valry against him. After that when
ever I encountered him at the club or
at receptions the very sight of him
quickened my sense of envy. His
handsome features, his rakish mus
tache, his correct clothes and his
graceful carriage had the distressing
effect of putting rue in despair of win
ning Madelaine so long as he was in
the field. For that reason I was glad
I had never met him when I was pay
ing my devotions to her, as I felt I
vould suffer, by comparison, in her
eyes.
If he was handsome and dashing, he
was devoid of some of the essentials
for a good husband. I knew this.
Madelaine, I was sure, did not know it.
Therefore, as one who loved her with
every fiber of his heart that was sensi
ble to passion, I felt a double purpose
In my wooing—to save her from him
and to win her for myself.
I wanted to tell her what sort of a
fellow at heurt Newkirk waa. Being
his rival, however, I dared not. \
knew from the discoveries Leßruyere
made in dissecting the souls of women
that it would have a contrary effect.
Newkirk never spoke of her to me.
I never spoke of her to him. She never
mentioned him to me. Still he kept
calling to see her. So did I. Still
he and I never met there. When he
called I stayed away. When I called
he did not come, it might have ap
peared to Madelaine we were dodging
' '''''''
jjf- ' ' fllp^
The very sight of him quickened my
pone of envy,
each other. I was glad we were, for
I feared my impetuous disposition
would have spoiled my chances.
Fortunately I was able to preserve
r.n unruffled demeanor, but I was
watchful and determined. Newkirk
had affairs of business that called him
often to New York. I heard also in
the club gossip that he had an affair
of the heart there, too. From that
moment X was resolved to put a literal
construction on the maxim: "All is
fair in love and war."
Soon after this Newkirk went East,
to remain a month, he said. In happy
coincidence the Zimmers left the very
next day to pass the summer session
at Charlevoix. The day following I
sailed for Charlevoix to pass my vaca
tion. She welcomed me there with
evidences of delight. It was a period
of supreme happiness to bo near and
to know that Newkirk would not in
terfere for a whole month.
Then was my time, if ever, I real
ized, 10 win her. A3 a wise general
would do preparatory to assaulting a
citadel, I made a plan. It was simple
enough. It was to tell her that New- I
kirk was dead. That would leave the j.
held clear. In her moment of bereave- j
ment I would naturally be the one I
man to whom she would turn for coa- I
solation. The rest would be easy.
I broke the sad news to her one day
while we were strolling along the
cliffs. She didn't take It much to
heart, and I feared for my success.
Women are so much more confiding
in times of grief. It was too late to
change the plan then. I did the best
I could. I held her hand, I pressed it i
to my lips, I muttered things so tender
that they escaped my articulation. I
When I thought there was nothing j
proper left for me to do but jump j
over the cliff and hope they would j
never find my body, she turned to me
with an expression of tenderness in
her great brown eyes that filled my
soul with joy.
"And you love me, Madelaine?" I 1
sighed.
"I have loved you with all my heart i
for a long, long time, John," she !
whispered.
There we plighted our troth. The
#2-3 i
She gave a scream and threw herself I
fainting in my arms,
birds sang sweeter than ever they
sang before. The sun shone brighter; !
the lake and the sky were bluer and •
the air was perfumed as we slowly '
paced along. We forgot the dinner
hour and didn't care, for we were
happy.
It was late in the afternoon when
we returned to the hotel. We were
sitting In the cooling shade of the
great veranda. Another boatload of
visitors hauled up from the wharf
were being discharged from the hacks
and we wero studying them as they
passed into the hotel.
My eye fell on one of them and It
made my love-laden heart stop beat
ing. Madelaine saw my sudden emo
tion.
"What is the matter, John, dear?"
she exclaimed in affright.
I could not find words at that mo
ment, but she followed my fixed stare
with her terrified glances until she,
too, saw the cause of my attack ol
momentary paralysis.
She gave a scream and threw her
self, fainting, in my arms.
There, among the new arrivals, stood
Charles Newkirk, back from the grave
in which I had so recently placed
him.
"What does this mean, Newkirk?"
I demanded as savagely as I could
when I recovered a part of my senseß |
Whatever answer he made was losl
to me, for at that moment Madelaine's
mother came shrieking to her daugh
ter's aid. A score of other women
rushed in upon me. . I surrendered my
fainting loved one to their more skill
ful attentions, and extricating mysell
from the hysterical concourse, I went
to meet Newkirk face to face. Made
laine was mine at last and I had noth
ing to fear from him. As her protectoi
I felt it to be my plain duty to punish
him for his impertinent intrusion.
He was gone from the veranda. 1
went into the hotel rotunda looking
for him, hut he was not there. I went
to the clerk's desk.
"Wuere did that insolent fellow
go?" I demanded.
"Whom do you mean?" asked the
apprehensive clerk.
"Why that fellow Newkirk."
"They have gone to their room."
"They? Who are they? Newkirk
is the only one I want."
"I mean Mr. and Mrs. Newkirk.
They just arrived—on their wedding
trip, I believe."
I looked at the hotel register and
there was Ncwkirk's familiar hand
writing tracing the words:
"Charles Newkirk and wife."
"Shall I send up your card?" asked
the clerk.
"No; I guess I have made a mis
take," I said softly.
Then I hurried back to see if Mad
elaine had recovered. She was sitting
beside her mother looking pale. I sat
on the other side of her. She leaned
over to me with-a faded expression in
her erstwhile lustrous eyes.
"Was it his ghost, John?" she asked
in a hoarse whisper.
"No, dear, that was his wife you
saw with him," I said calmly.
"But you told me he was dead," she
said, with a tone of deep injury in
her voice.
"Well, aren't you more surprised to
hear that he is married?"
"Why, no. He told me he was going
East to marry some other girl when
I jilted him the week before last."

Grandma.
When grandma puts her glosses on
And looks at me —just so—
If I have done a naughty tiling
She's sure, somehow, to know.
How is it she can always tell
So very, very, very well?
She says to me: "Yes, little one,
'Tis written in your eye!"
And if 1 look the other way,
And turn, and seem to try
To hunt for something on the floor,
She's sure to know it all the more.
If I should put the glasses on
And look in grandma's eyes.
Do you suppose that I should be
So very, very wise?
Now, what if I should find it true
That grandma had been naughty, too?
But ah! What am I thinking of.
To dream that grandma could
Be anything in all her life
But sweet, and kind, and good?
I'd better try myself to be
So good that when she looks at mo
With eyes so loving all the day
I'll never want to run away.

The Dog Rescued.
Laddie is a Scotch collie, and belongs
to our nearest neighbor. He is a very
bright fellow, and we should have
been friends but for Laddie's ungov
ernable antipathy for cats. We have
a big yellow tiger cat, which through
an accident lias become crippled. He
spends most of his days lying in the
sunshine near tlie door, and the long
est journey that lie ever undertakes is
a hobble to and from a near-by de
serted burn, says a contributor to Our
Animal Friends.
There was scarcely a day of the
beautiful summer when Laddie did
not fall into disgrace by worrying Jim.
It was a never-ending amusement to
him to corner the plucky old cat. Af
ter we had used every means in our
power to convert the handsome rogue,
we were obliged to forbid him the
yard. He seemed to realize he was in
disgrace, and followed us about the
streets in the most abject humility.
At last the winter came, and with it
one of the worst blizzards we had ever
known—and Jim was missing. For
four days we called and dug and hunt
ed. It must be that Laddie had killed
him. As if to confirm our suspicions,
Laddie became even more desirous
than usual to attract our attention. At
last, at the close of the fifth day, we
heard a whining and scratching at the
front door. We opened it, and there
stood Laddie with our Jim in his
mouth—Jim, very angry and fright
ened, and half frozen.
The next morning we found that tho
dog must have seen Jim go under a
woodshed, some distance away, where
he was literally snowed in. After
trying in vain to get our attention, ha
had dug Jim out through a drift six
feet high, and brought him to us in
triumph, an unwilling and unthankful
peace offering. Of course we forgave
Laddie for his former misbehavior,
and we never had any more trouble
with him for worrying Jim. Laddie
is one of our most welcome guests, but
it seems to be a matter of sorrow to
Ids canine heart that Jim still treats
him witli suspicion, and, at best, with
a forced politeness.
Made a Fortune in Soapsuds,
There are hundreds of cloth-weaving
factories in the county of Yorkshire,
England, and many tons of soap are
used yearly for scouring the wool be
fore it is spuu. Soap, of course, makes
soapsuds and runs away iuto the
drains, unless there is a reason for
saving it. The Yorkshire weavers
had no suelt reason, and thought that
it had done all that was possible for
soap to do when it had washed their
wool. But soap is made of fat and al
kali, and is good for something after
it has been dissolved. One day a
French chemist heard about the great
quantities of suds which the Yorkshire
men allowed to run out to sea and
came over into that part of tire worid
to investigate. After studying the mut
ter thoroughly he went to the factories
and contracted for all the soapsuds he
could get- all there were, you may be
sure, for the weavers thought him
crazy and hastened to sign tho papers
ere he should change his mood. The
suds were conducted to vats by a sys
tem of pipes in eaeli mill, and when
the tanks were nearly filled the chem
ist would come around, turn a certain
amount of acid into each tank and
wait. Presently the fat which hail
been used in the soap would begin to
separate and rise to the surface, and
when it was ail floating on top tho
Frenchman drew the water away from
beneath and carted tile product to u
factory of bis own. Here it was melt
ed, and with very little trouble made
over iuto lubricating oil for the very
machinery that had been the cause of
wasting it in the first place. It was so
excellent a quality of oil that machin
ists came to prefer it to all others, and
tlie French chemist soon had an envi
able fortune as ids reward for robbing
the hungry sea of tons of valuable pro
ducts that should never have been al
lowed to run iuto it.

CUPID'S DEFENSE.
Thov call me a poacher, an outlaw,

But I note, just the same,
Though I caution my game,
That it seldom gets out of my way.

For planting my shafts in their hearts,
That so? Well, it's strange
That they will get in range.
So many fair breasts, of my darts.

Productive of exquisite pain.

Of poor hearts, one time shot.

Lemon Jelly.
Put n pint of cold water into n sauce
pan with the thinly pared rind of n,
lemon. Let it hoil up nxul then simmer
for ten minutes. Squeeze the juice of
two large juicy lemons into a basin,
taking care that the pips do not go in,
and pour the hot water on to the juice.
Add half an ounce of sheet gelatin,
and sweeten to taste with loaf
sugar. Stir gently until the gelatin
and the sugar have melted and strain
the liquid through muslin into a china
mold which has been rinsed with cold
water. When adding the sugar l t
should be remembered that jelly will
taste sweeter when it is hot than it
will when it is cold.
Chicken I'lo.
Separate the chickens into joints; put
thorn into n stewpan with just enough
boiling suited water to cover, and let
simmer until tender. When done, take
out the chickens carefully, strain the
broth and add to it one-half pint of
sweet cream. Melt one tablespoonful
of butter, blend in one heaping table
spoonful of flour, add the broth slowly
and stir until smooth and of the con
sistency of thick cream. Line a bak
ing dish with a good crust, lay in the
chickens, pour in a sufficient quantity
of the thickened broth to cover, sprin
kle with one-third of a cupful of
chopped celery, add a layer of oysters
nnd cover loosely with n top crust
having an opening in the centre to al
low the steam to escape. Bake about
an hour in a moderate oven. .Tust
before serving add one-half cupful of
oysters to the remainder of the broth,
let it come to a hoil and serve in a
boat.
Clear Soup.
Take three pints of well-flavored
stock, remove all the fat and wash
the surface with a cloth dipped in boil
ing water and wrung out. Put the
stock into a stewpan with half a
pound of lean beef, shredded finely, an
onion, carrot, small turnip and the
whites and crushed shells of two eggs.
Whisk over the fire till just on the
point: of boiling, remove the scum, and
let the soup boil, the meat, etc., form
ing a crust on the top. Set aside 011 the
stove till the crust cracks, showing the
soup below; tlieu pour all the contents
through a clean, thick cloth that has
boon well rinsed in boiling water, if
necessary, pouring the soup a second
time carefully through it. Return the
clear soup to a clean stewpan, with
seasoning of salt and pepper; add a
tiny lump of sugar when it boils up.
Some prettily cut vegetables which
have been separately boiled and rinsed
or any other garnish should be put
Into the tureen and the soup pouivd
over them.
A Luncheon Dish.
Fresh, crisp rolls may be prepared
daintily for luncheon by cutting them
in two lengthwise, taking out the soft
interior and filling them with mix
tures of various kinds. Hard-boiled
eggs, chopped and seasoned with just
enough French dressing to soften
them, are good for the purpose. An
other suggestion calls for chopped ap
ples and uuts, with a little mayon
naise.
For sweet fillings ripe, soft peaches,
cut up fine nnd sprinkled with a little
powdered sugar, and, if they are to lie
eaten at once, a spoonful of whipped
cream is used similarly. A combina
tion of jam with soft el'eam cheese is
liked by many persons.
'ln all things of this kind cafe should
lie taken to have them soft and moist
without being "mussy." The rolls, too,
should he small enough to be eaten
without awkwardness.
This idea can be utilised to vary
children's school luncheons, chopped
meats and other nutritious and appe
tizing fillings being used for the rolls.
Although it is nothing more than a
sandwich, a little changed from its
ordinary form, Its novelty will prove
