I How to Avoid Mistake* Willett Very Frequently Render TJiem Abso lutely Tasteless. 1 A great many cook-books order all fresh vegetables to be placed in an abundance of boiling water and cooked slowly for a considerable time. Many vegetables are ruined by being cooked in this way. Po tatoes, asparagus, peas and cauli flower should be boiled in a small amount of water and cooked steadily but slowly. Over-boiling will make all of these vegetables tasteless. Do not salt any of them until they are fialf done. Young summer cabbage should be cooked in an abundance of boiling water. When it has cooked for 15 minutes take it up and cool it in cold water. It may then be chopped and dressed, allowing a cup of cream, a tablespoonful of flour mixed with two tablespoonfuls of flour, salt and pepper. Let the chopped cabbage simmer in this cream sauce for three-quarters of an hour. An other way to cook cabbage is to blanch, as described. Take out the heart with a scoop, stuff the cab bage with sausage meat, lay it in a saucepan with a buttered paper over it, and let it cook one hour, bast ing it often with its own juices. The best way to cook beets is in cold water. them well, being careful not to puncture them or break off the tips. Put in a sauce pan, cover with water, add a hand ful of salt and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Let them boil rapidly for an hour and ten minutes. If old beets, cook an hour longer. Lift one by one into cold water, peel and re turn to the water in which they were boiled, if they are to be cooled. ! Carrots should be scraped and washed, cut in slices half an inch thick and cook in salted water for 30 minutes. Serve in a cream sauce. String beans should be boiled slow ly for two hours.—-N. Y. Tribune. LADY MICHAEL HERBERT. American Wife of the New British Ambassador to Lead in Wash ington Society. The new British ambassador to the United States, Sir Michael H. Herbert, is not a stranger in diplomatic circles at Washington, nor is his charming American wife, who for years was one of the leading ’society women of the capital. Her husband's new rank will give Lady Herbert the first position among the ambassadorial set, for by common consent and precedent the British embassy is accorded the rank ing place. Mrs. Herbert is an American woman. She was Leila Wilson before her mar riage, one of the famous daughters of B. T. Wilson, who were noted for their wit and beauty and the splendor of their matrimonial alliances. The marriage of the oldest sister to Ogden Goelet was a coup which set the pacef or the Wilson family. Her broth i LADY MICHAEL HERBERT. er, Orme Wilson, married Caroline As tor, daughter of the Mrs. Astor who has long held the scepter over New York society. When Grace Wilson married Cor nelius Vanderbilt, Jr., two continents became interested in the alliance. It was full of romance and millions, and a girl with a quick wit and a pretty face outwitted the oldest and strongest branch of the oldest and strongest fam ily in New York society. Mrs, Leila Wilson Herbert possesses that beauty and magnetic charm that have lifted the Wilson family to then present prominent position—and the end is not yet! In London, Paris, Vien na, Berlin and New York she has con quered, till the best houses in those cities include the Herberts on their lists. The return of Mrs. Herbert to Wash ington to rule over the embassy where she formerly appeared as the wife of its secretary accurately measures the distance these two have traveled up ward in the diplomatic and social scales in a very short space of time. And the appointment is even more significant than it seems to be on the surface. Next winter three reigning famiSes in American society will be attracted to the capital—the Astors, the Vander bilts, the Ogden Goelets. Which means not only an addition of three great lights, but of all the lesser lights that follow in their wake. It means the transferring of the most exclusive sets of New York to the national capital, and it means the entering of the president’s family into society on a scale which has been un known to the white house for some time past. It means, too, a long step in the so cial progress of the house of Wilson, and it cannot help meaning a place for Mis. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., as one of the foremost leaders of society next winter. A Cold Wave- The forecast of sudden changes in the weather serves notice that a hoarse voice and a heavy cough may invade the sanc tity of health iu your own home. Cau tious people have a lottle of One Minute Cough Cure always at hand. E. H. Wise, Madison. Ga., writes: “I am in debted to One Minute Cough Cure for my present good health, and probably my life.” Pneumonia and all Throat anil Lung troubles One Minute Cough Cure cuts the phlegm, draws out the inflamma tion, heals and soothes the mutous mem branes and strengthens the lunge. FRILLS OF FASHION. The Season’s Additions to the Ward robes of Feminine IXe'wotees of Dress. Louis XV. coats of sealskin are set off with collars and cuffs of chinchilla and minever. The coronation brought minev-r Into prominence, and it is muefi used for facings and linings, re ports the Brooklyn Eagle. The bolero coat and the pouched cloth bodice are again iu evidence, but the bolero is now provided with a tailed back, while the pouched bodice will be found with a short shaped basque all round. The ostrich feather boas, both black and white, and the two com bined, find rivals in the colored feathers that exactly match the whole tone of the costume. This is specially commendable in gray of the tender pearl tone. Some of the new Parisian opera cloaks are made of brocade closely resembling old-fashioned furniture covering and hangings. To wear with unlined dresses are Special petticoats made with an abundance of flounces starting from the knee. The newest petticoats are cut in widening circles united by in sertion on the umbrella plan and the gowns set over them to perfection. In embroideries lace designs are be ing copied, old point, guipure and Honiton having the preference. A belt pin in the form of a jeweled safey pin, decorated with the mono gram of the wearer, has been intro duced this season. It is worn in the front of the waist and not at the back. Very thin stockings are coming in for evening wear of the consistency of cobweb, made in the very finest silk with lace inlet, sometimes em broidered with gold and silver threads, and very often flowers. Many of the lace designs, which are let in to the fronts of these stockings, dis play er.pids and cornucopias and classic portraits, as well as butter flies and true lovers’ knots; others are combined with twisted ribbons worked with sequins. Many of the enameled brooches in the form of flowers are adorned with pendant drops of turquoise, pearls and other stones in the matrix. Jet buckles and ornaments of all kinds have been restored to the fa vor they enjoyed some seasons back. Jet is used, not alone for dress and millinery embellishment, but as hair ornaments. Quite a new idea is the embroidered cloth ribbons in narrow widths which are playing an important part in the trimming of autumn gowns. These ribbons are most fascinating when they show the oriental colors, reds, biues, greens. THE WORLD'S DEBT. Bow the Wars of Nations Have In crease’ll Tlieir Indebtedness in the Last Century. The Matin (Paris) says: In ISOI the world’s debt amounted to $3,060,000,- 000; in 1848, after the Napoleonic wars, it was $8,400,000,000; in 1901, $31,800,- 000,000. It increased within the last century by $28,800,000,000; but where as during the first part of this century, notwithstanding the gigantic wars which then unsettled part of the world, it increased but at the ratio of 3 to 1, the increase during the second part was at the ratio of 10 to 1. Toward this increase each nation has contributed with all its power. Only two nations preserved their cold blood; Great Britain, which during the 40 years reduced its debt by $1,000,000, and the United States, which reduced its- liabilities by over $1,400,000,000. The Austrian debt, which in 1850 was but $900,000,000, reaches at present $1,700,000,000; the debt of Germany has grown from $116,000,000 in 1870 to $559,- 000,000; that of Italy, which in 1869 was $1,400,000,000, is now $2,583,000,000; the debt of Russia, which in 1553 was $400,000,000, exceeded in 1900 $3,000,- 000,000. France is easily winner in this contest; her debt, which in 1552 was little over $1,000,000,000, amounts to day- to about $5,800,000,009, or almost six times the amount in the former year, constituting almost one-fifth of the total world’s indebtedness. A Kitchen That Harmonizei. What bride a few years ago would have thought to harmonize the hues of her kitchen walls with the color of her cooking utensils? Vet that is what a young bride lias been able to do in furnishing the little kitchen of her snug flat. The walls of the kitchen had been painted light blue, and enameled ware of the selfsame hue was bought. The effect is charm ing, for frying pan, mixing spoon, basins, stew pans and all, with their dainty white linings, are disposed about the apartment to the best ad vantage. —Detroit Free Press. Sandwiches*'in Cream Shace. Sandwiches left over are not usually very inviting, but they- may be made so by this method. Warm them slightly in the oven, and to every three sand wiches made from chicken, veal or tongue, make a white sauce with one tablespoonful of butter, one table spoonful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper and one cupful of milk cooked until thick. Then add the yolk of one egg well beaten. Pour this over the sandwiches and serve at once. —Boston Budget. Nur.es* Severn.

Eli T. Reynolds, i GIBRALTAR'S SIEGES. Sue Had Thirteen anil One Lasted Three Years, Bat the Roclc Has Had n Ceavtury of Peace. The first name by which Gibraltar was known was that of Mons Calpe,and it continued to be so called till the in cursions of the Arabs in the year 713. When the all-conquering Bomiansire duced Iberia, this mountain afforded a temporary asylum to the Baeticans; but their resistance was in vain, and a Homan settlement was made to the west of Calpe, which bore the name of Julia Traducta. The Carthaginians seized on all Baetica, but it was again recovered by Lucius Lucinius Lucullus, and Calpe remained in the possession of the Homans until they were ulti mately driven out of all Spain by the VVestrogoths, in 568, says the London Mirror. A domestic quarrel introduced the Arabs into Spain in the year 713. The mountain then obtained the name of Jabal Tarik, or Tarik’s mountain, Ta rik being the chief under whom the in cursion was made. The history of this famous rock is no less remarkable in regard to the 13 sieges which it has undergone. In 1310 Alonzo Perez de Guzman first took it from the Infidels, which so en raged them that they murdered their king, Mahomet. The second siege was in 1316, when Ismiaei, king of Grenada, in vain at tempted to retake it. The third commenced in February, 1332, under Abamelique, when the Spaniards, after enduring almost intol erable fatigue, and subsisting for weeks on the leather of their shields, w?re starved into a surrender in the middle of June. The fourth siege was begun by Don Alonzo XI., in the end of the same month, he having been within four days’ march of the place on its surren der. This investment was attended with uncommon circumstances of hard ship, both to the besieged and besieg ers. The latter were blocked up in the neck of Gibraltar by the king of Grenada and Abamelique, who marched with an army to the relief of the garri son. At last, on August 20, a peace was concluded and the siege raised. Don Alonzo again sat down before it in the summer of 1349, and during this, which was the fifth siege, and which continued for nine months, the garri son was reduced to great straits. But Don Alonzo was carried off by the plague in March, 1350. The emperors of Fez neglecting their Spanish territories, Juzaf, third king of Grenada, took it in 1410, but the next yearthe inhabitantsdrove out the con querors’, and put themselves under the protection of Muley Bueld, emperor of Fez. Juzaf besieged it in form in January following with a fleet and army, and the garrison was starved into a surrender. The eighth siege was in 1438, when Don Emique de Guzman attacked it with a strong force, but was defeated by the Moors and drowned. His son, however, brought off the remains of his army. In 1462 the son returned with a great er force and took the place, which ever since has remained in possession of the Christians. The tenth siege was in 1704, when it was torn from the Spaniards by the English under the command of Sir George Rooke. An expedition was immediately formed and the eleventh siege com menced under the Marquis de Villada rias. The siege lasted four months; and finding all their efforts, though vigorous, were vain, it was abandoned in 1705. The Spaniards sat down before Gib raltar on February 13, in 1727; but this, which was the twefth siege and under the conduct of the Marquis de las Tor ras, was fruitless. The last, the thirteenth siege, con tinued incessantly for three years, it having been invested by sea and land in July, 1779; by sea under the com mand of Don Barcelo and by land under Don Juan de Mendoza; and the garri son presented to Europe a picture of the most gallant defense. They re sisted the efforts of the most numer ous and best equipped band of be siegers that perhaps ever beset any fortress. The British fleets annually relieved the garrison, and on the only occasion they were opposed had the glory to gain a signal victory over the * enemy’s fleet. Fooll, IJrink and a Penny. Xot many tourists who have visited England, even among those who made a point of visiting out-of-the-way cor ners, ever heard of a curious old mon astery that stands back of Twyford, a little town near Southampton. It is a very old place, with an old and thick stone wall around it. In this wall there is a wicket gate, and by this gate a monk is always stationed. The monk is there to halt every traveler that goes " by, and, having halted him, he gives him a cup of ale, a crust of bread and a penny. Centuries ago, it seems, ' someone died and in his will left to the 1 monastery an endowment that was to ease the way of weary travelers by giving them this refreshment and a 1 small coin. As lo#g. therefore, as the * monastery stands a monk will stand by 1 ; its wicket gate and every traveler who I : passes will be cheered with a drink, a bite and a penny.—Detroit Free Press. 1 A Crater City. | ! What is probably the most curious 1 situation in the world for a city is that i ‘ of the one iu the interior of the extinct crater. Aso San, about 30 miles from j Kumamoto, in Japan.

Prof. Ernest Hackel’si latest publi cation contains some curious informa tion about the human monkey of Java, from which the Berlin correspondent of the London Standard selects' the fol lowing: The most interesting specimen was ! a young gibbon, which Herr Haekel had an opportunity of watching for several months at his own house at Buitenzorg, in* Java. The species of | gibbon to which this animal belongs is found only in Java, its scientific name being hylobates leuciscus. By the na- j tives it is called oa, on account of the I characteristic sounds it utters. The j little animal, when standing erect, is 1 scarcely taller than a child of six years. The head is comparatively small, the waist slender, the legs short and the firms much longer. The face of the oa is more human that of the orang. ! Herr Haekel says: “Its physiognomy reminded me of the manager of an insolvent bank, ponder- I ing with wrinkled brow, over the re sults of the crash. The distrust of the oa toward all white Europeans was very noticeable; hut, on the othei ! hand, he formed an intimate relation- J ship with the brown Malays iff our household, and especially the small children. He never crawled on all fours. When he was tired with running, he stretched himself out on the grass I and let the tropical sun shine on his body. Usually he laid one arm under his head and assumed exactly the atti tude of a weary wanderer who lies down on his back in the shade of a tree. “When I held a piece of tasty food just out of his reach he cried, like a naughty child, ‘Huite, huite, liuitel’a sound altogether different from the ‘Oa, oa, oa,’ which he used to express various emotions. He uttered a third and shriller sound when he was sud denly frightened. The speech of these human monkeys has not many differ ent sounds, but those given are modu lated and altered in tone, strength and number of repetitions. The monkey also uses many gestures, motions with the hands and grimaces, in such an ex pressive manner that the careful ob server can detect different wishes and various emotions. “Besides milk and cocoa he liked sweet wine. He grasped the cup very skillfully with both hands and drank like a child. He peeled bananas and oranges just as we are accustomed to do. Holding the fruit with the left hand he removed the rind quite skill fully with the right, anti bit off one piece after the other. Most Malays do not look upon the gibbon and the or ang-outang as animals. The former they believed to be bewitched men, and the latter criminals who, as a punish ment, were changed into monkeys’. Others, again, think they are men in the course of metempsychosis.” HE GOT THE HALF-DOLLAR. A Dog: Tale Which Illustrates the Marvelous Intelligence of Which a Canine Is Capable, One of the best dog stories which has been told in a long time is related in the Nashville Banner. The narrator of the anecdote was driving in a town in Mississippi with the omver- of the dog. To show the animals’cleverness he got out of the carriage, held his pocketbook in front of the dog’s nose, and then taking therefrom a half-dol lar, hid it under a large rock. The men drove on for a half-mile, and then the dog was commanded to fetch the half-dollar. The animal, without the least hesita tion, started back on a run, and my friend explained that as the rock was heavy the dog would be unable to turn it over, so would have to scratch under it to reach the piece of money, and it would naturally take him some time. It did, for he had not appeared when we retired, about ten o’clock. Early the next morning we heard a sharp bark at the door. When the door was opened in rushed the dog, dragging with him a pair of trousers which he dropped on the floor. Of course we were mystified, but the explanation soon came in the shape of a neighbor who lived several miles distant. He rode up on a mule, and in quired if a dog with a pair of trousers iu his mouth had come into the house. Just then the pointer walked out on the porch, and the man exclaimed, “Why, there’s the dog now.” The caller said that late in the after noon of the day before he found the dog scratching under a large rock near the road, and thinking he was after a rabbit, stopped and lifted the rock up and to his surprise found a half-dollar underneath. He put the money in his pocket, and the dog fol lowed him home. The dog appeared friendly, and the man petted him and gave him his supper. At night when the family retired the dog was put out-of-doors, but he kept up such a racket that no one on the place could sleep, and when the man opened the door to drive the animal away he rushed into the bedroom and at once became quiet. He lay down near the foot of the bed and slept there all night. Early in the morning, the man said, he got up and openen the window, and the instant he did so the dog seized his trousers and jumping out the window, fled with them. The man followed as loon as he could get his mule. Of course my friend searched the pockets of the trousers which the dog had brought, and there found the half dollar. Sometime* Even Them.
