DOMESTIC LORE.
Rome Small Item* of Information Re
lating to Matter* In the
Kitchen.
Coquilles are among the dainty en
tree and luncheon dishes which may '
be made from scraps of cooked chick
en, game or any delicate fish sauce,
•s salmon or halibut. Cut the meat
of the chicken or game of dark meat
in dice or flake the fish. Melt a table- j
spoonful of butter in a saucepan, stir |
in a tablespoonful of flour, and as
soon as melted and bubbling add half
a pint of white stock or half a pint of
equal parts of milk and water, (jet i
it simmer slowly five or six minutes,
adding a few mushrooms if you wish,
or if it is chicken, a tablespoonful of ,
cold sweet breads. When fish is used, I
omit the tongue, but use the mush
rooms, adding, if you like, a little lob
ister coral to give the coquilles a bril
liant color. Lastly add the chicken
or fish, seasoning well with salt and
pepper. Fill the little china panni
kins, the tiny individual silver shells
sold by silversmiths, or, quite as well,
the medium-sized scallop shells which
fishmongers sell at a trifling price,
with either of these preparations,
sprinkle a few sifted, buttered crumbs
over them and let them bake five or
six minutes in a quick oven. Serve
as soon as possible after they come
from the oven with a garnish of pars
ley, says the Washington Star.
I Ilams, bacon and other smoked
meats are usually bought at best ad
vaiitage at the grocery stores. These,
however, should always bear the
stamp of some well-approved packer.
Fancy sausage, scrappel, head cheese
and the like, which come from those
much-advertised farms which make a
point of this superior scientific treat
ment of stock and charge according
ly must be passed by the shipper of
moderate means.
A roast left over may be as good as
new a second day by brushing over
with butter, searing in the oven or on
the range until brown on both sides,
then taken out and steamed until
■heated through, then returned to the
oven a last time for just two or three
moments.
Excellent, dishcloths may be made
from old white Holland curtains after
the stiffening has been boiled out.
Whalebones', one of the most expen
sive items on dressmakers’ bills, can
be used several times over by soaking
in cold water until straightened.
An inexpensive and excellent silver
polish can be made by mixing a few
drops of ammonia with whiting and
adding enough water to make it the
consistency of cream. It can be bot
tled and kept on hand.
Instead of throwing away the wick
of a lamp when it gets too short fas

then be made to do longer service.
BELTED BELLES.
The Winter Woman Moat Have Belt*
for Her Arm* a* Well aa
Her Waist.
The deep deliberation and high ar
tistic*effqrt that we lavished last year
on our collars has been diverted this
season to the production of countless
varieties of belts. Last spring the
black satin pulley girdle found a limit
less number of advocates, but the pul
ley belt only started the ball to roll
ing, while the introduction of ribbon
tags ..and chenille and gold braid has
almost capped the climax, says a fash
ion authority. No woman believes she
can worry through the winter on fewer
than ten belts, and not only must she
have belts for her waist, but belts for
her arms. |
The pulley girdle as a mechanical de
vice of the first order still holds good,
but instead of two ribbons only knot
ting in froht there are dozens of ends
falling from that point where the rings
meet, and every end is completed by
a gold ball, tag or decorative filigree
ferret. The belt itself is not plain
black satin, but a combination of col
ors and ornamental schemes. For in
stance, the center of the waist band,
which is always widest in the back,
tapering gradually to the ends in
front, is made of white satin speckled
with black silk knots and then both
edges completed with gold galloon; or
the middle portion of the belt is of
stitched taffeta and its edges are em
broidered in gold. Where, the gold
rings are pulled together black satin
ribbon are used, and sometimes, in
place of the tagged ribbon ends, a cas
cade of black chenille falls nearly to
the knees.
At the belt counter, which has be
enme an important department in everj
progressive shop, are sold bolero gir
dles of silk, satin, paVne' and gold tis
sue. They are immensely broad at
the back, shorter under the arms and
taper almost to a point jn front and are
stiffened with featherbone at inter
vals. Over the boned batiste founda
tion of such a girdle the black, white,
gojd or blue fabric is artistically drawn
and wrinkled, and then in front a lovely
out-eteel and brilliant or art nouveau
Hbckle brings the ends successfully to
■-gether.

‘j SILVER PLATE IN WINTER.
tVhen Not in Constant Use Should Be
l’nt Away in Flannel or
Chamois Skin.
Silver in winter requires especial
' attention. Has from cool fires as well
! os front burners tarnishes and dis
: colors. The sulphur from India rub
ber is also inimical to silver, so that
the ring around the neck of a fruit
i jar will in a few hours turn a spoon
j black. That silver not in everyday
: use should be kept in cases made of
: Canton flannel or of chamois skin,
j The latter, because more impervious
! to moisture, is best. The case may j
be long and- narrow, with a strip of
silk or ribbon down the center, and
loops into which spoons and knives
| are to be slipped. This open case can
be covered with any suitable mate
rial. It is to be folded, when the ar
ticles are in it, and kept in a drawer
or separate case, together with a
piece of camphor gum, which helps to
kep stiver t'rcsn tarnishing. Large
pieces of silver require separate bags
made to fit, and forks need a separ
ate receptacle. When from neglect,
plate has grown much spotted, rigor
ous measures are required. In that
case take one spoonful of ammonia
to 16 of vinegar, rub over the stains
rapidly and at once plunge into hot
soapsuds. Any substance which is
srtong enough to remove stains will
eat the surface of silver and must not
be permitted to remain, says Good
Housekeeping.
Silver in constant use needs only
to have a daily wash in seaiding suds,
then to be rinsed in water equally
hot and wiped dry, so that for a long
time it will be bright without extra
care. Table salt applied to the dis
colorations produced by the sulphur
in eggs will remove it at once.
Whiting applied with a moistened
cloth, rubbed on soap, will usually be
ail that is necessary. Should the
plate have been neglected a long
time, the cloth may first be moist
ened with alcohol or diluted ammonia
Engraved and repousse silver needs
to be cleaned with whiting applied on
a tooth brush. After it is dry, cover
the hair with a sweeping cap to avoid
dust, and thoroughly brush over the
raised and incised' surfaces with a
soft brush that penetrates every part
of the figures or lettering. A thor
ough rubbing and then brushing in
this manner will restore the original
brilliancy of plate as no other treat
ment cun do.
GOT EVEN WITH THE BOYS.
Hilarious Football!*!* Conldn’t Stand
the Scrubbing Brush of a
Woman.
Plastered with mud from head to
foot, without coats or hats, their long
hair, rain-drenched, hanging in disor
der around: their flushed and dirty
faces, 11 youths rushed into an Ogden
avenue car one afternoon recently and :
scattered themselves over the plush- j
covered seats. The few passengers !
edged away in disgust and the con- j
doctor looked around as if in search of |
a policeman. An elderly man came ■
aboard and concluded to stand rather
than suffer close contact with the
young "medics,” who were fresh from
a game on the muddy athletic grounds.
A woman with a market basket came in
the door, says the Chicago Chronicle.
“Is this a pigsty or a brickyard?”she
inquired in a withering tone after a
glance along the seats.
“Sit down, mum,” said one youth.
“There’s lots of room.”
“Don’t be afraid; we won’t bite,”
chimed :n several of his friends'.
“Would youz sass me?” she ex
j claimed, with rising wrath. “Begorra,
I’ll whip tlie whole bunch of yez, wheth
er yer footballists or bricklayers. Get
over on one side together. What, yon
won't? Then I’ll make you.'’
Pulling a scrubbing brush from her
basket, she attacked the youth nearest
her. He hesitated only long enough to
get a blow on the top of his head, then
tied for *he door at the other end of the
car. His companions followed helter
skelter. the slowest being belabored by
the scrub brush, while the conductor
looked on approvingly and the' other
passenger* shouted with glee.;'Pant
ing. hut triumphant, the woman re
turned and took a seat in the least
muddled spot.
“Say. what’s your name?” inquired
the you ‘h whom she had first assailed,
sticking his head in at the front door.
“Wha: do you want of my name?” she
retorted, scornfully. “Do you be mind
ed go call the police?”
“No.” replied the young man. “We
want you to play on our team.”
The woman jumped to her feet as if
intent on renewed battle, but the
“medics" jumped from the car plat
form and gave their conqueror the class
yell as she passed by.
A social movement in New York city
deserving of notice is the proposition
of the Suburban Home company to
build new inodt-J tenements for col
ored people to be rented at the same

pay from three to five dollars a month
more for inferior apartments than

MEDIOCRE MODERN VERSE.
Acrordlna to This Authority There
Has Been a Decline In English
Poetlcnl Expression.
The verse in our current magazines
sustains the statement so generally
made that the age of poetry in the
sense of imaginative interpretation
of life and nature is past. Some of it
consists of cynical or semi-humorous
comments in rhyme on men and wom
en and society and, though witty and
forcible, is, in effect, an acknowledge!
ment that the question which the great |
poets of the past have at least stated I
in novel form are to be avoided as per
plexing, if not insoluble, says the Hart
ford Courant. Much of it is description
of natural objects, scenery, aspects of
nature and the like, correct in form,
but not suffused with feeling, which
alone prevents descriptive poetry from |
being tame and prosaic. The whole 1
seems devoid of energy, as if written to
order and after a model. There is noth
ing that a reader cares to memorize;
or even cut out and paste in his scrap- [
book. The fatal lack of poetic energy, 1
both of thought and expression, is
everywhere apparent, evinced not only
by the fact that the quatrains or son
nets to which writers confine them-'
selves, though neat, antithetical and
polished, are not striking. They lack
the power to make us think, in most
cases they lack the power to hold our!
attention. They seem to be written
from habit, not from the outburst of a
j slow-gathered impulse. The} tfre usu
ally glanced at and skipped by read
ers. As a rule they are good evidence
in the affirmative of the question:
“Has the age of poetical expression in
the English language passed?”
All the verse in our modern periodic
als has, however, one quality; it is cor
rect. On reading 53 poems—or “bits
of verse”—in the magazines of the
month .we find no straining of "poetic
license;” only two instances of imper
fect rhymes and only three or four in
stances of redundant syllables. The
meter formula is carefully observed,
misplaced accents are rare as strong,
vigorous lines are. All is “splendidly
regular, icily dull.” The gaiety and
the seriousness are alike "machine
made.” and the lines in which they are
embodied are sandpapered and var
nished to perfection. The poet does
not hum a tune carelessly like Burns
or fervidly like Shelly; he plays his
scales on a piano in perfect tune. May
not this perfection be one of the rea
sons for the deplorable ineffectiveness
of modern verse?
Electric Lights (or Trains..
Electric train lighting has now
passed the experimental stage and
bids fair to displace other systems for
the illumination of passenger trains,
on account of its cheapness and safety.
It is the only absolutely safe method,
since, in case of wreck, there is no in
flammable material, such as gas or
oil, to cause fire in the wreckage. At
the same time, electric lighting from
batteries fed by dynamos driven by
the car axle has proved itself so
cheap that in Austria, where the sys
tem has been worked out very fully,
it is found that electric lighting is
cheaper than oil, gas or candles.—

An Oyster Recipe.
Oysters prepared in this way are
very nice: Take 25 large oysters,
such as are used in frying. Place
them, without their liquor, in the
chafing dish; add one tablespoonful
of butter, one gill of white wine, one
teaspoonful of salt and one-half that
quantity of pepper. When the oys
ters are cooked add to them the fol
lowing mixture, which must be cooked
in the meantime. Cut very fine one
gill of mushrooms and oife— truffle.
To this add one-half ounce of’.butter'
and one-half gill of mushroom liquor.
Cook for five minutes and add the
yolks of four eggs and a pint of rich
cream. Put with the oysters and let
the mixture get very hot without
boiling; then serve with puff paste
cut in shapes.—Detroit Free Press.

TOLD BY THE OLD CIRCUS MAN
How. the Greatest of All Glut* Played
the Ills Bass Horn la the
Hand.
“For my part,” said the old circus
man, relates the New York Sun, “I like
the big bass horn; I never tire of listen
ing to it. If I’m around anywhere
where there’s a band playing in
some public place, for instance like
some park, or maybe in some stand
I built in the street for a political meet
! ing, I always get around to the bass
J horn man. I never tire of listening to
I the man that juggles the thunder, and
I like to see him play. But what I set
out to tell you about was, not how
much I like the big bass horn myself,
but how about the greatest of all gi
ants used to play it, in our band in the
circus.
j “In the street parades that we always
gave when we struck a town the band,
before we got the giant, used to ride in
q band wagon. We had as gorgeous a
: band wagon as ever rolled, but when
[ the old man decided to play the giant
1 in the band he housed the band wagon
for the season, without the slightest
hesitation; he knew well enough that
the great giant would look a heap big
' ger standing up at his full height and
marching along on foot with the band
than he would, half lost, as he would
be, sitting doubled up in the band wag
i on, to say nothing of his being mixed
up there, too, with all the band wagon
jimcrackery. So that year the band
walked in the parades; and the giant
marched in the ranks.
“The giant’s place was at the left
hand end of the rear rank. I have never
yet told you, in feet and inches, just
how tall the giant was, because you
simply wouldn’t believe it, and if you
didn’t believe that you wouldn’t be
lieve anything else. I should tell you
about him. But thereat the corner of
the band formation he rose above ail
the rest of the men. like a tower rising
up at the corner of some square, one
storv building. ft was enormously
more impressive than any sort of ar
rangement that could possibly have
been made with the giant in the band
wagon. But keen and clear-headed as
the old man was in all this, he made
at the outset one big mistake; he fitted
the giant out at the start with a elari
net. Theold man’s idea in this was that
the contrast between the great man
and a slender instrument like a clari
net would be funny. And it certainly
was funny to see the great giant play
ing a clarinet, but at the same time it
came mighty near to being ridiculous.
Of course we provided him with an in
strument of suitable size to be in prop
er proportions to the player; we had a
clarinet made for him about 10 or 10%
feet long. But, if anything, this only
made it worse. You see the whole busi
nes was foolishness; it wasn’t the
thing. What the giant really wanted
was some big. massive instrument that
should be in keeping with him himself.
There was nobody realized this any
quicker than the old man did; and at
the very first glimmering of it in his
mind he put in an order for a suitable
sized bass horn for the giant.
“It was a month before we got it—
yon see even with unlimited money
back of the order they had to make new
shapes to bend and form various parts
of the horn on. and the work took time;
but we got it finally. I remember its
coming well. It was packed in three
hogsheads, joined together lengthwise
and with all the heads knocked out ex
cept the end ones. It was about 14 feet
high and of corresponding dimensions
throughout; fit horn for the player.
“And could the giant play it? To the
limit, as horn was never played before.
When I hear the jovial thunder of some
bass horn player now I hear the thun
derous echo of the giant’s giant
horn.”
OUR SWEAT SYSTEM.
Anywhere (rom Two to Twenty-Eight
Nile* of Sweat Gland* on
the Human Body,
It may be interesting to know that
one perspires more on the right side
of the body than on the left, and that
the skin of the palm of the hand ex
cretes four and a half times as much
proportionately to the surface as the
skin of the back. The pqres in the
ridges of the palm number as many as
3,000 to the square inch. They are
scarcest on the back, where there are
only 400 to the square ipch. These
pores are not simple holes or perfora
tions in the hide, as some imagine, but
are little pockets lined with the same
epithelium or pavement stuff that cov
ers the exterior of the body. They run
straight down into the deepest struc
ture of the skin, and there they kink up
and coil around till they look like a
fishing line that has been thrown down
wet. Inclosed in this knot are little
veins that leak the perspiration
through the walls of the lube, it
wells up to the surface of the skin, it
is estimated that the average-sized man
has 7.000,000 of these sweat glands, ag
gregating 28 miles of tubing. Think of
it! Twenty-eight miles if all those tiny
tubes could be straightened out and
put end to end! Thesel'Sgures, won
derful though they may seem, are 011
the very best medical authority. They
are the figures of men who have given
their livjs to the study of this subject.
"But still, if they seem too large to you,
there is just as good medical authority
for the statement that there are 2,400*-
000 sweat glands on the human body,
each one-flfteeuth of an inch long, and
that their aggregate length is two
miles and a half! Think of it! Two
miles and a half! If you object to that,
too, I have the very best authority for
the statement that they are one-quar- j
ter of an inch long and aggregate more '
than nine miles, or I can figure it for
you at seven miles or 12 miles. Take
your pick. Our motto is: “We aim
to please.” If one figure suits you more ,
than another, it’s yours. We can sub
stantiate it by the very best medical
authority, says Harvey Sutherland, in
Ainslee’s.
~1 find only one figure, however, for
the amount of liquid secreted by the
skin of an average person in a year,
though it is evident that the quantity
must vary greatly according as the
person works in an icehouse or rides
a bicycle up-hill. From the average
person in a year's time there ooze*
through the pores of the akin 1,600
pounds of water. Let us see: “A pint’s
a pound the world around,” two pints
make one quart, four quarts one gallon
—oh, well, you cipher it out for your
self. I never was much of a hand at
figures. 1
