the altar. The sun shone down
[ upon a mass of bolidayclad men and
women, to svKOm it was all as a mem
ory of borne, of the beloved home
across the seas; upon mothers kneel
ing devoutly with their little ones at
tSe shrine, and upon children bring
ing offerings to the saint's glory. His
fatre smiled down b--.-..jriy uiwn them
from the frame of gaudy colors with
the coat of arms of the village—or
was it a hint at the legendary** history
of the saint? —a fox dragging a re
luctant rooster by the tail, In his
own country the saint is held to be
mighty against fever, and the ague, of
which there is much there. The faith
which prompted a stricken mother to
hang the poor garments of her epilep- 1
tic boy close to his hand, in the hopcJ
that he might De healed, provoked no
smile in one latter-day spectator. The
sorrow and trust were too genuine for
that. The fire-escapes of the tene
ment had, with the aid of some cheap
muslin draperies, a little tinsel, and
the strange artistic genius of this
people, been transformed into beauti
ful 'balconies. upon which the tenants
of the front house had reserved seats.
In a corner of the yard over by the
hydrant, a sheep, which was to be raf
fled ofT as the climax of the cele
bration, munched its wisp of hay pa
tiently, while barelegged children
climbed its back and puiled its wool.
From the second story of the adjoin
ing house, which was a stable, a big
white horse stuck his head at intervals
out of the window, and surveyed the
shrine and the people with an inter
ested look.
The musicians, issuing forth victori
ous from a protracted struggle with a
fleet of schooners in the saloon, came
their mustachios, and blew
"Santa Lucia” on their horns. The
sweetly seducive melody woke the
echoes of the block and its slumber
ing memories. The old women rocked
i® their seats, their faces burled in
their hands. The crowd from the
street increased, and the chief cele
brant,'who turned out to be no less a
person 4han the saloon-keeper himself,
reaped ii liberal harvest of silver half
dollars. The * rfflagers bowed and
crossed themselves before the saint,
and put ,into the plate their share to
ward the expense of the celebration.
Its guardian made a strong effort to
explain about the saint to Mr. Roose
velt.
"He is jiist-a-lik’-aififftmng St. Pat
rick here,” he said, and the president
of the Police Board nodded. He un
derstood. - -JS J
Between birthdays, the other added,
the saint was left In the loft of the
saloon, lest the priest get hold of him
and get a corner on him, as it were.
Once he got him into his possession,
he would not let the people have him
except upon payment of a fee that
would grow with the years. But the
saint belonged to the people, not to
the church. He was their home pa
tron, and they were not going to give
him up. In the saloon they had him
safe. Mr. Roosevelt delighted the
honest villagers by taking five shares
In the sheep, albeit the suggestion
that it might be won by him and
conducted in triumph by the band to
Police Headquarters gave him pause.
He trusted to luck, however, and took
chances.
And luck favored blip. Hp did not
win the sheep. The names of all who
had taken chances were put Into a bag
with that of the saint, and in the
evening drawn out one by o®e. When
the saint’s name appeared there arose
a great shout. The next would be the
winner. Every neck was craned to
read the lucky name as it came out.
“Philcmeno Motso,” said the man
with the bag, and there was an an
swering shriek from the third-floor
fire-escape behind the si rine. The
widow up there had won the prize.
Such luck was uadreamed of. She
came down forthwith and hugged the
sheep rapturously, while the oildren
kissed it and wept for joy. The last
of the candles went out and the shrine
was locked in the loft over the saloon
for another year.

HER CAREER ENDING.
Josie Mansfield, Once Brilliant and
Notorious, Now a Helpless Par
alytic.
A little while ago ail London went
to a benefit to Lydia Thompson, on
whoee stage Josie Mansfield's charms
shCuO in this country.
Now Josie Mansfield is at her sister's
house in Philadelphia, the* • probably
to end her life —a life that h„. known
both poverojplknd the brilliance of
doubtful prosperity.
Ml SB Mansfield who has lived in Bos
ton for three years under the name of
Mrs, Josie Welton, has boon an invalid
nearly all the time, suffering her first
stroke shortly after her arrival, j
Strangely enough, paralysis has not|
dimmed the intensely keen and sensi- 1
tive brain. Her eyes are as observant
and sympathetic as of old. She under
stands what is said just as readily as
she ever did. Mental disturbance is
evidenced, however, in her tendency
toward maudlin laughter or a half
childish exultation over trivial things.
Hour after hour she hums over
snatches of the operas or the songs of
Paris. Today she presents one of the
most affecting spectacles one could look
upon,
Josie Mansfield's pedigree appears to
bo hidden in a veil of mystery. Bos
ton is credited with her birth, and she
was wont to declare clini her name was
Helen Josephine Mansfield, alt lough
others claimed that Warren was her
faultily name and her folks were very
decent people. This was denied some
years ago by Frank Lawley, the actor,
who claimed that she appealed to him
to save her from being used by her par
ents for purposes of blackmail.
She was just 16, possessed of a
strange, ■<. ark beauty, and Lawler
married her in San Francisco in 1859.
This union lasted for one year. Tho
actor did his meager best to reform
her, but this modern Nana, having seen
Lawler “go broke” over her extrava
gance, disappeared out of his life.
From 1860 to 1867 her location has
never been satisfactorily explained.
Ignorant and unpolished as Lawler's
wife she appeared again before the cal
cium of public gaze and was seen in the
company of Annie Woods, an actress
who knew good lions and men who
“went the pace.” Among the latter
was Col. “Jim” Fisk, Jr.
Josie Mansfield—she had dropped the
Lawler through the medium of an easy
divorce —soon had Fisk under her
Circe-like enchantment.
The beautiful, uncut, unpolished gem
of 1859 was now, by attrition, a bril
liant, flashing, polished woman of the
world. When she met Fisk her last
dollar was gone and she was arrayed
in her last gown.
She occupied a whole house In 1868,
had servants, jewels, and equipages,
and Fisk was credited with paying the
bills.
At this time those who basked under
her smiles described her as of fair
skin, lustrous as an Easter lily, with
broad white brows Covered by masses
of silky Mek >-;r, like clusters of
rich grapes, fruit of the vine from the
garden of Bacchus. Ixing gold hoops,
gypsy-like, hung from her tiny, pink
tinted, shell-like ears. Small, plump
hands, with absolutely faultless nails,
and a figure of ravishing curves,
finished by a tiny foot, completed her
ensemble, and with the exception of
her eyes. Gray e.ve3 they were, full of
sorcery, fitful as a tropical sea, with
phosphorescent gleams.
This was the queen that reigned : n
the “brownstone front” at 329 West
Twenty-third street, New York city,
where Jim Fisk and his friends had
feasts fit foT Luctillus, and poker games
filled in the nights.
It whs at one of these feasts that
Fisk, boasting of hts power, his con
trol of the city or state, declared:
“I have this city or state in the hol
low of sr-y hand. I think I’ll have an
act of the legislature passed changing
the name of the city to Fiskville.”
With carmine lips close to his ear,
and with softly sweet voice, Joslv
Mansfleld-Lawler whispered:
“Why not name New York after
me?”
"By —1” lie exclaimed, "you’re beau
tiful enough to have this town wear
your name. But what should It he?
Josle is not quite dignified enough, is
it? Oh, to foe sure, Helen! You’re as
fair as Helen of Troy. I’ll bet a rail
road I enight have New York called
‘Helena.’ ”
Sitting at the table at the time was a
young man, dark-haired, with the ex
tion of a snow-white lock, like a feath
er, with dark eyes, classic features,
fierce month, and sinewy build. He
was Edward S. Stokes.
At this time the ladies wore the
Kansfield bonnet, the Mansfield wrap,
or had their hair braided in the Mans
field coiffure. At the zenith of her
fame, Fisk supplied with information
from detectives,, threw aside the wo
man he had raised to this eminence.
Her gray eyes flashed. She had let
ters from him. and prepared to split
him before the public. Fisk secured
an injunction against their pufolication,
and in this year, 1871, legal battles
raged between,* *e two.
Fisk also pitted his millions against
Stokes $250,000. in order to ruin the
man whom he accused of transplanting
him in the heart of .Tosie Mansfield.
Fisk had remarked:
"Stokes wants a fight with me. I
tell you my touch is cold and clammy."
Fisk crushed Josle Mansfield in the
courts. Stokes was there and saw it,
too, saw that his adversary was strong
enough to crush him as he had the
woman.
. It at last came to the only finish that
could be forseen. It was on the after
noon of Jan. 6, 1872. The two men met
on the stairs of the Brand Central
hotel. A pistol shot rang* **‘, and
,-go, I
after some, few hours of struggle mifci
dealt and morphine sleep, ”Jfci” Fisk’s
prediction came true. His touch was
elamrtiy— he was dead. j
Josie Mansfield sued Fisk’s widow
for $250,000, which she claimed to have
loaned the dead man. The case was
thrown out of court.
She wont to Boston where she was
hooted on; the streets. She next tried
Paris. Here she awaited her ruin.
Her beauty grew' in luster, and finally
Robert L. Reade, a New York lawyer
and man-about-town. son of a million
aire from Minneapolis, but a resident
of I’aris, met the siren. He fell before
the witchery of her glances, and on
Ck’t. 15, 1891, in St. George’s church, in
London, Josie Mansfield became Mrs.
Robert L. Reade, at the age of 50.
As in her previous career, the hus
band soon found his mistake. A gen
tleman by instinct and breeding, he
would not stigmatize the woman nor
see her in want, and since that time he
has seen that she needed for nothing.
THE IDEAL ARMY RATION.
Theiration of the army today con
sists of the following constituents:
Eresh beef Tor mutton when the cost
does not exceed that of beef, 20 ounces;
or pork or bacon, 12 ounces; or salt
beef. 22 ounces; or, when meat can
not be furnished, dried fish, 18 ounces;
or corn meal, 20 ounces. Baking
powder for troops in the field, when
necessary to enable them to bake their
own bread, 16-25 ounce. Beaus or peas,
2 2-5 ounces; or rice or hominy, 1 3-5
ounces. Potatoes, 16 ounces; or po
tatoes 12 4-5 ounces, and onions, 3 1-5
ounces; or potatoes, 11 1-f. ounces, or
oanned tomatoes, 4 4-5 ounces, or 4 4-5
ounces of other fresh vegetables, not
canned, when they can be obtained in
the vicinity of the post, or transported
in a wholesome condition from a dis
tance. Coffee, green, 1 3-5 ounces, or
roasted coffee, 17-25 ounces; or tea,
green or , black, 8-25 ounce. Sugar,
2 2-5 ounces; or molasses or cane
syrup, 16-25 gill. Vinegar, 8-25 gill;
salt, 16-25 ounce; pepper .black, 1-25
ounce.
A proper diet for the tropics, obvi
ously, should be of a vegetable char
acter. This would supply the ele
ments of energy, without unduly heat
ing the body. This is just what the
ideal father should accomplish. It
should accommodate i'tself to the needs
of the individual everywhere. In the
north it should supply him with the
abundance of heat-producing elements
demanded by the colder climate, while
in the south it should limit that supply
ami provide him wl'th the diet suited
to tils new environment. It should,
further, in southern or tropical cam
paigns, when barrack or camp life is
abandoned for active work in the field,
readily adapt itself to the increased
demand of the syctem for nitrogenous
elements; for field work, with i'ts
greater activity, requires greater
energy-producing food thar. does the
quieter life In barracks. This was ll
lustrated in several regiments that
visited Porto Rico, notably in one of
the artillery regiments which landed
about the same time as did my own,
the Fret United States volunteer en
gineers. This particular regiment saw
the hardest kind of work from the very
moment of its arrival, until, upon the
signing of the protocol, it was sent
north. During its stay on the island
—about six weeks—the troops sub
sisted almost entirely upon the "travel
ration" (much worse than the field
ration when viewed from the stand
point of the ideal), but they had com
paratively little sickness, the effect
of the excess of the nitrogenous ele
ment having been neutralized by the
tremendously active life the men had
been compelled to lead.
In order to reach the ideal, then,
the present ration should be radically
changed. The beef and salt pork com
ponent should be cut in two, and far
inaceous food and fish substituted.
There would be plenty of meat left
even then, for the old theory that
meat alone makes brawn and muscle
has long since been exploded. Beef
has been beaten time and again on the
athletic field; and on the plains of
'Marathon, in the great international
games recently held in the presence
of the king and assembled thousands,
the victorious champion in the 25-
miie foot race was he who had not
tasted a single ounce of meat in bis
long course of training. Salted ra
tions should also be Issued but once,
or, at most, twice during the week,
and fresh supplies should be provided
from beef on. '.he hoof at the point
where issued. Of the cereals, one of
the best is hominy, which is not only
nutritious and easily digested, but is
relished by the men as well. Equally
valuable is the rice component, and its
present issue should be quadrupled in
quantity. The black or red bean
(frijol) of the tropics should be sub
stittAed, in southern latitudes, for the
white bean of this countr/, and dried
frqits, especially apples aid prunes,
should be added to the ration. —Dr.
Louis L. Beama. in Leslie's Weekly.

AID TO STREET OLGA NINO.

V.
One of the “angels" who was indus
triously shoveling away at thA corner
of Woodward and Gratoit avenues, the
other morning, suddenly dropped his
implements and darted away from tho
spot as if he had come unawares upon
a nest of hornets. But he had not.
The cause of his unceremonious be
havior was that, last delivery wagon
thait went by. It bounced and bound
ed on a slight obstruction at the cor
ner, swung around rather quickly, and
a package was dropped out at the lw>ek.
When the package struck the pavement
tho “angel,” white suit and all,
pounced upon it. The package con
tained nothing more or less than
candy. Of course the paper broke with
the force of the fall, and the sweets
were scattered over the pavement. Oh,
what a harvest. The angel kept both
hands busy raking up tho piece® and
stuffing them into his pockeis at once,
until they stood out on liis denims like
toothache-cheeks. But he was not
long to be alone with tills precious
windfall. A flock of small boys, in the
exact number of a lot of English spar- 1
rows, swooped down upon hkn and
eagerly swept the [lavement with him.
Then the driver of the wagon came
back on foot to recover his property.
Alas, there was only a little candy left
In the paper. This he picked up, while
the "angel” and the sparrows turned
on him faces filled with the utmost
contempt. “The idea,” they seemed to
say, “of a man being mean enough to
spoil a good thing like this and pick
ing up the stuff that has once fallen in
to the dirty su’eet.” But when the
driver had gone away and the small
boys had dispersed, and the angel had
reludtantly returned to work, it was re
marked that thait part of street
had never before been so clean. —

WASHING DISHES.
Of all the many duties that fall co
woman’s lot that of washing dishes is,
without an exception, most abhorred.
Yet there is no reason why it should be
so. It is not a dirty, sloppy work un
less It be made so by carelessness, and
there is no reason why the hands
should be ruined in the process.
The chief things required to make
dish washing a pleasure are care, order
and plenty of hot water and soap. The
dishes when removed from the table
should not tie piled up in tho scullery
in an indiscriminate mass —pots, ket
tles, pans, glassware, silver and plates.
Let each of Its kind be put together.
All cooking utensils should have been
replaced upon the range and filled with
water, and thus allowcn to soak until
the time cornea for cleaning them.
There should be a receptacle in which
to place all the waste scraps as they
are scraped from the plates. They
should be then piled up neatly to one
side. The moat important, thing in
dish washing is to have plenty of hot
water, use sufficient soap, and have a
dishcloth or mop and drying towels in
ample supply.
Begin with the glassware and follow
with the tea things, then the spoons,
knives and forks, and so on, till all are
v,'ashed and set up neatly to drain.
When drying do not try to make one
towel do it all. When it becomes too
wet to dry well, put It on one side and
takt a fresh one.
