THE STANDARD BOOK STORE, 314 OTH ST. IN HOTEL CORRIDORS Capt. P. H. Ray, agent at Fort Wash- akie, Wyoming, where eighteen hundred Shoshone and Arapahoe Indians are lo- cated, is at the Ebbitt. He and. all the principal Indian agents of the country are here or coming at the direction of the Secretary of the Interior to hold an im- portant conference in regard to Indian matters. “The Indian,” sald Capt. Ray, “needs to be let alone. He fs suffering from too much reforming, to> much interference and too much coddling by the governmente Scme Indian reformers make the mistake of thinking that the Indian needs a classi- cal education. It will be utterly useless to him. At Fort Washakie the Arapahoes and Shoshones would now be self-support- ing if the government simply stepped aside. We have young Indians who have been taught to make shoes, dies and har- ness, but there is no chance for them to work at their trades because the gov- ernment or the traders supply those ar- ticles. It showld te borne in mind that the Indians were self-supporting before they ever saw the whites and would be now without white Interference or white gid. We have built seven miles of canal sixteen feet wide with Indian labor, and put In stone headings throughout. With this canal we are going this year to trri- gate lund and raise all the wheat which is needed on the reservation. If I am there I am going to build a flour mill and then flour will only cost the government $1.50 a hundred, instead of $3.25 as now. We have 300,000 acres, which, when Irrigated, will be as fine agricultural land as there is in the state. “The Shoshones are mountain Indians. Lewis and Clark met them in_ 1804 at the head of Jefferson Fork. The Commanches are a Shoshone tribe, which went south some two hundred years ago, but they still speak the same language. The Shoshones are fine Indians and have never been at war with the whites, They and the Arap- ahoes, though once at war with each other, get along together without fric- tion." . Mr. Fred Starr of St. Angustine is at the National. “Florida bas suffered a severe blow,” said he, “tn this recent freeze. A conservative estimate places the loss on the orange crop at not less than $3,500,000, and on early vegetables, peas, beans, cu- eumbers, squashes and such at half a mill- fon more. ‘The freeze went all over the . even into the southern part.

These were the ones who used subsoil plows and stirred the earth from a foot to fourteen inches deep. There was plenty of rain in Nebraska, but it did not come at the right time, and on the shallow-plowed ground it soaked in a few inches and then the rest ran off. Where the earth @as stirred for a foot, enough water was held by the soil to last through the corn season. Within the next few years you will find that western farmers will subsoil as regu- larly as they plow, and thea they will al- ways be sure of their crops, so far as droughts are concerned. The cost of sub- soiling is not greater than the cost of plow- ing, and"without considering the drought question, it yields several times the extra expense in increased crops.” \ Major T. E. Morris, a prominent citizen of Newport News, is at the Shoreham. He says the immense shipyards and dry-dock at that place are busy all the time. “Three government gunboats for river and coast service are being pushed rapidly,” said he, “and the new river steamer for the Nor- folk. and Washington line will be finished by the Ist of June. It will be launched early in April, and Washington will be proud of it. Our dry-dock and repair shops are said to be as fine, if not superior, to the best in Europe. The importance of our port is rapidly growing. The export of grain through Hampton Roads last year was greater than by way of Baltimore. The combination of the ‘Big Four’ system with the Chesapeake and Ohio assures us of an immense freight traffic. Newport News felt the hard times of the past three years less than any place I know of. Even the poorest person can always make a living, for he can get out on the bay and make a good day’s wages at any time catching fish and tonging for oysters.” EN ee Ee Transfers of Real Estate.

He sails on the Empress of India on Monday, and expects to meet China’s commissioners at Kobe, though sittings will be held at Hiroshima. ee ‘Two Young Children Suffocated. Two young children of Michael and Mary Bertick of Nev York were suffocated to death yesterday in a fire which broke out in the rooms occupied by the family, in a tenement at 434 East 67th street. The mother had left the children sleeping while she went out upon an errand. When she returned the rooms were filled with smoke and the children dead. IN MUSICAL CIRCLES The Choral Society Now at Work on Gounod’s “Redemption.” Soloists to Probably Be Local Singers —Next Concert of the Philhar- monic Club. The Choral Society, fully satisfied with its work in the “Messiah” last week, has entered “actively upon the rehearsais of Gouncd’s “Redemption,” which will be given at its next concert. In view of the sacred character of this work, it has been suggested that it might be given on Sun- day night. Inquiry will be made of every active and honorary member of the soci- ety to learn their views in regard to this matter, and the opinion of the majority will prevail. The board of directors feel that they were not in ary sense to blame for the frigid temperature in Convention Hall on the evening of the “Messiah” con- cert, and they are indignant that the mem- bers of the society and the public, that ex- tended such generous patronage to their efforts, should have suffered from the cold. They don’t propose that such a state of things shall again occur, and it is possible that the remaining concerts may be given in some other building. Either of the the- aters could be secured for a Sunday night concert, but it would involve considerable expense in bringing out attractions to se- cure one of them for a week night’s per- formance. Still, it is probable that this expense would be covered by the attend- ance, and tnere would certainly be no freezing on the part of either singers or audience. The selection of soloists for the ““Redemp- tion” has not yet been made, but it is understood that local singers, preferably those belonging to the society, will be chosen. It is intended to give as rhany as possible an opportunity for solo work, and so the numbers will be distributed among quite a number. This will be an encourage- ment to the members of the society, and will give both ladies and gentlemen a chance to show their capacity for oratorio work. The next concert of the Philharmonic Club will take place at Metzerott Hall the 1ith instant. The program will enable the three artists who compose this organiza- tion to be heard in both solo and ensemble work. Mr. Herman C. Rakemann, who has attained the highest reputation as a violin- ist, is always welcome to a Washington audience, whether he plays a solo or Is heard in conjunction with Mr. and Mrs. Lent in trio work, or whether he appears as the conductor of the Georgetown Or- chestra. It is rarely that one who is es- sentially a soloist becomes an efficient director without neglecting his technical individual work, but Mr. Rakemann im- Proves in his solo playing, and at the same time is developing as a conductor. “Mr. Lent has long been recognized as a most accomplished ‘cellist, but besides that he is a composer of ability, and several of his works have been highly praised. Mrs. Lent is a pianist of dainty skill, and has a personality that is so engaging that she at ence becomes on good terms with her au- dience. Mr. Victor Herbert, who, without doubt, is the most brilliant cellist of this coun- try, and Miss Lucia Nela, who is pro- nounced one of the most prominent dra- matic sopranos, with a sympathetic and particularly rich voice, will assist. Miss Mary Helen Howe of this city is also down on the program for a concert aria. She has lately come into prominence, and cer- tainly is giving great promise of a brilliant future. Altogether, the concert promises to ke one of the most enjoyable events of the season, which our patrons of music should not fail to witness. Prices have been placed on a popular scale, and seats may be reserved now at Metzerott’s music bey ihsy o Mrs. Kitty Berry-Thompson sang for Mr. Reginald De Koven during a recent visit that he made to Washington, and he was so well pleased with her that he at once offered her a place in one of the companies that he proposes to organize in the spring. Mrs. Berry, however, said that she prefer- red to live in Washinrton with her mother and baby than to travel in an opera com- pany. Mr. W. D. McFarland will commence his work as solo tenor in St. Patrick’s Church choir tomorrow. Prof. Sheldon is busy in his preparations for the presentation of the fairy spectacle of “Cinderella,” which will be an elaborate production, and will include a large number of children. In the approaching recital by Mr. Arthur D. Mayo, which will occur on Wednesday night next, he il play, among other num- bers, Schumann’s Papillons, a set of small pianoferte pieces in dance form, especially interesting in having as a poetic. back- ground a chapter from a romance by Jean Paul Richter. S Among Mr. Turpin’s group of songs are two by Franz, a composer, strange to say, rarely heard in Washington concert rooms. Interest in musical cirsles is now center- ing in the coming performances of “The Washingtonians,” an organization formed some time ago by the Harris brothers for the purpose of staging their works. The company is now in rehearsal on ‘The Three Dukes,” “The Baronet” and “Peter.” The first named was staged in February last (an afternoon performance) and six con- secutive times in the month -f May follow- ing. The two 'ast named as yet have not ‘been performed or sung in public. For the approaching exhibitions the company has @ greatly augmented cast. The enlarge- ment affords to Washington’s opera singers an opportunity to alternate the respective parts. Miss Dorothy Byrd Rogers (now Mrs. Thomas Noyes) having decided to confine her singing in public to church and concert work, will not appear with the company, but Miss Bertha Lincoln (now Mrs. Huestis) will make the journey from her home in Iowa in time to perfect her- self in the stage work. “The Three Dukes” will be first present- ed—Monday and Tuesday nights and Wed- nesday afternocn. The part of Isabella, so well sung by Mrs. Noyes, will be in the keeping of Miss Mary Helen Howe, alter- nating with Mrs. Hucstis and Mrs. Emly Frecht Barnes; Valencia in that of Mrs. Huestis, alternating with Mrs. Nellie Wil- son Shir-Cliff and Miss Stella Fisher; Ze- lina in that of. Miss Cecelia Sullivan, alter- nating with Mrs. Barnes and Miss Fisher; Stephano in that of Mr. F. Milton Suplee, alternating with Mr. Will Mooney; Seba: tian in that of Mr. Felix Mahoney, alter- nating with Mr. J. J. Fisher; Benzino in that of Mr. Ben Judgon, alternating with Mr. W. A. Morsell and Mr. Edwin Camp- be:l, while Tamboine will be aguin intrust- ed to Mr. Arthur Gardner. “The Baronet” will be given Wednesday and Thursday nights, with Mrs. Shir-Clifft and Mrs. Huestis alternating the parts of Phyllis and Gertrude; Mr. Suplee and Mr. Mooney that of Rodolphe; Mr. Maboney and Mr. Fisher that of Wilfred; Mr. Gard- ner and Mr. Arthur Middleton that of Picod, and Mr. Campbell and Mr. Morsell t of Jasper. eter”’ will close the series Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Saturday night, with Mrs. Shie-Cliff, Miss Fisher and Mrs. Huestis alternating the part of Gretchen; Miss Howe and Mrs. Barnes the part of Princess Katrina; Mr. Mahoney and Mr. Fisher the part of Haatz; Mr. Suplee and Mr. Mooney the part of Alexis; Mr. Gard- ner and Mr. Middleton the part of Ks Mr. Webster illison as General Menzi- koff; Mr. Mo: 1 as Lieutenant Swatzer- gein; Mr. G. B. Berkley as the Baron; Mr. Cc. E. MeCoy as King Charles XII, and Mr. Albert B. Morgan as Lozinski. The Ubrettist, Mr. W. H. Harris, will sing Don Chachucha in the “Dukes,” Sir Oliver in “The Baronet” and Peter in “Peter,” and the composer, Mr. Arthur Percy Harris, will direct. The program for the performances con- templates elaborate stage setting, one opera alone, “Peter,” requiring 170 cos- tumes. The principals are putting a good deal of intelligence in their work, and will undoubtedly keep up the high standard the Weshingtonians Company has established. On Friday evening, the 18th instant, the Celumbia Musical Society, under the direc- tion of Prof. Geo. W. Lawrence, will pre- sent to the public for the first time in eight years the beautiful cantata “Rebekah,” by Joseph Barnby, a work in two parts, full of flowing melody, that at times approaches the grand oratorios. The scene of “Re- bekah" {s laid partly in the outskirts of the city of Nabor, and partly on the road from it to the dwelling of Isaac. There are three characters—Rebekah, Isaac and Eliezer. Professional singers have been engaged to take the three solo parts. Mme. Kate Doane, one of the best sopranos of Balti- more, a lady with quite a reputation as a singer, having spent many years abroad and studied with the best instructors, will sing the part of Rebekah; Mr. Fred. H. Weber, who is connected with the Balti- more Cathedral as solo tenor, and whd has a beautiful high voice of rich quality, will sing the part of Isaac; Mr. Wm. A. Grop- pel, a singer bf ability, with a remarkably good voice, fémous for its-rich quality of tone, will sing the'part of Eliezer. With a full orchestra _cf twenty pieces and a cho- rus of sixty #oict the cantata bids fair to be a greatpu UNIVERSITY NOTES. Seis University. At an early date a very interesting course of lectures will begin, which will be @ source of pleasure to the professors, as well as the stadents of the university. Acting President Greene, on the opening day of the new year, made an eloquent ad- dress to the college students, urging them to faithful studyand to a love of the in- stitution which ‘gil be their alma mater, telling them that the reputation of a col- lege and its general growth depended to a very large extent upon the students them- selves. : A club, composed of the French classes of the college, has been organized to study the famous French writer, Corneille. Catholic University. The Catholic University opened for the return of its students on Thursday, but studies were not resumed until Friday. Two new students have already entered, Rev. Father Grace of Chicago and Rev. Father Ringold of Buffalo.The latter was a student at the university last year. On December 30, by invitation of the rec- tor, a mecting of tiiose engaged’so far for the new department of philosophy, science and letters, to be opened October next, was held at the university, to discuss matters pertaining to their future work. There were present Judge Robinson, now of Yale; Prof. Greene of the University of Califor- nia, Prof. Griftn, who is about to take his degree at Johns Hopkins University; Prof. Shae, now teaching physics in the Univer- sity of Illinois; Prof. Chatard, chemist, of this city; Dr. D. Quinn, representing Greek philology, and Dr. E. A. Pace, representing psychology, both of the Catholic University, and Dr. Cameron, Georgetown University. Judge P. Ord has presented to the college a painting of great antiquity. The painting is done on wood and is of the Spanish school, representing incidents in the life of some sair: The “‘varsity’s” ball ground, when com- pleted, will be a thing of beauty to the aesthetic as well as the athletic eye. It is being enlarged, and the work will soon be completed. Work will begin in a few days in tho Gaston Alumni Hall. The stage is to be ~n- larged six feet in the center and two et each side. ‘The front of the stage is to be finished in quartered oak, and theater chairs will be placed in the hall. Thursday was the opening day of this session. Friday morning the written ex- aminations began; the oral examinations will take place about the middle of the month. Howard University. The member of the Lincoln Untyersity foot ball team who was injurgd in the recent game with the Howard team still lies at Freedmen’s Hospital, with a broken jaw. His name, is Harper, and he was the brilliant player of the Lincoln team. Instructor Borembaugh and Principal Cook both made long journeys, one to Ohio, and the other to Newport, R. L, dur- ing the holiday's. For the last university lecture President Rankin read “Ultimate Africa,” an ode read by him before the parliament of nations in Chicago. The address delivered by Senator Hoar before the law, graduates of 1804 has been printed by the uniyersity. ——_— CALIFORNIA’S GOOD FRUIT CROP. Growers Will Not Take Advantage of Florida’s Misfortune. From the action of the executive com- mittee the southern California fruit ex- changes have no feeling that because there has been freezing in Florida they are go- ing to take advantage of consumers and get fabulous prices for their fruit. Quota- tions haye herctofore heen made about February 1, at which time the heavy ship- ments usually begin. Tais year, however, the exchanges are prepared for business a month ahead of the regular time, notwith- standing the fruit is a little late in ripen- ing. The executive committee of the ex- changes have fixed prices for the opening of the season as follows: Fancy California navels, free on board cars, $2 per box; choice, $1.75; standards, $1.20. It may be, however, that as the season advances and it becomes apparent that the trade will stand it these prices will be raised. The crop this year is estimated at about 5,500 carloads, or a little less than 2,000,000 boxes. Since the news has been received of the frost and consequent loss to oranges in Florida prices have advanced somewhat for California fruit. Notwithstanding the damage to the Florida crop and the fact that inquiries and orders are rolling into the exchange from all over the country very reasonable prices have been fixed. —___+ e+ ____ MEXICO AND GUATEMALA. A Game of Diplomacy and Intrigue Said to Be Going On. A Mexico dispatch says: The expegted arrival of ministers from Honduras and Salvador and the possible nomination of ministers from Nicaragua and Costa Rica has put a new light on the Guatemalan- Mexican boundary negotiations. The evi- dent object is to support Guatemala and to bring force to make Mexico back down from its attitude. All appearances are that Guatemala is making efforts to form a Central American league against Mexico for the settlement of old scores. The Gua- temalan minister is alleged to have tele- graphed, after his official reception, that the response of Diaz was applauded, con- trary to diplomatic precedent, that he used threatening language and prejudiced a uestion of high importance to all Central Mrvaciese The policy of the minister is evidently not pleasing to his chief, for it is alleged that Barios replied requesting that he pursue a more conciliatory policy. J. C. Castellino, the newly appointed min- ister plenipotentiary and ervoy extraordi- nary from Salvador to Mexico, is at San Francisco, en route to the Mexican capital. Castellino says an election will be held in Salvador on the second Sunday of this month, and at that time Gutierrez will be again chosen president. Castelling discred- its the statement that Ezeta will return to Salvador. He says Ezeta could not pro- voke a revolution if he tried. ———_+e+_____ For Peace at Any Cost. A special commission has been sent to the Mosquito coast from Nicaragua, with instructions to’ pacify the people there at any cost. + e+ ____ Who Wotld Have Thought It? From the Fliegende Blatter. “Where do you think is the proper place to carry the gioves now?” “In the vest pocket?” “No.” In the breast pocket?” 'No.”” ‘In the roll of the trousers?” 'No.”” “Where?” “In the hand.” “Who would have thought it!” LABOR IN THE SOUTH Its Development and Future Dismas.d by Mr, Wright. The Labor Commissioner ‘Talks About the Colored Question and Its Solu- tion — Cotton as a Basis. Mr. Carroll D. Wright, commissioner of labor, delivered an interesting lecture be- fore the National Geographic Society at the National Rifles’ Armory last evening on the subject “Labor in the South.” “For many years,” he began, “it has been asserted that climatic influences would prevent the extension of the factory system in some of the countries of Asia which threaten com- petition with western Europe and with the United States, and within a decade of years public men in our country have insisted that the factories, workshops and extensive works using machinery could not be car- ried on profitably in our southern states. I have not been one who has shared these views. I have felt for many years that the extension of the factory system in the southern states was simply the work of time and the discovery or development of raw materials essential to its extension. I think today the facts warrant this conclu- sion, and that the development of industries in the south shows clearly that no climatic influence can stay its further and magni- ficent development.” ‘This was the text of his lecture, and he proceeded to elaborate the idea expressed in an interesting array of facts and figures. He referred to the condition of the south at the close of the war and briefly reviewed its industrial progress since, paying a high tribute to the sublime patience displayed by its people during the reconstruction pe- ricd, and said that this. patience, combined with an activity and courage in their busi- ness similar to that displayed by them on the field of battle, had accomplished much in the development of the resources of the south and the upbuilding of their land. “The first twelve or fifteen years since the close of the war might be termed the pe- riod of patience, during which the south was pulling itself together and adjusting it- self to the new and strange conditions. ‘The young men of the south have learned that there are two aristocracies—the one which their fathers represented, the ever- attractive, honorable aristocracy of blood, | and that other aristocracy which claims ad- miration today, the aristocracy of enter- prise, activity and development—so that, while claiming to be the scions of the one, they have become members of the other. With the pride and ambition which the first had furnished, they have put their shoul- ders to the wheel in making the newer aristocracy respected the world over, and the last half of the generation has shown a progress not only remarkable for its ex- tent and the diversity of its results, but magical, as we study its proportions.” Basic Industry. Mr. Wright said that the first source of wealth which attracted capital to the southern states was hidden beneath the surface—the mineral depcsits—and he told of their vastness. The natural conditions of thes2 mineral lands, he said, were guar- antees for favorable and economical min- ing and for cheap and comfortable living. ‘The southern Appalachian region is won- derfully favored by its topography, and Mr. Wright predicted that existing disadvan- tages in the matter of transportation would sccn be -ully overcome. The prosperity of the south in its iron industries naturally indicates prosperity in all other industries, it being the basic industry of any country. In the south, however, the raising of cotton may be regarded as the basic industry and perhaps its cultivation more truly indicates the industrial growth of the region than does the development of the iron industry. As showing the rapid progress in the de- velopment of the cotton industries in the south he said that the product of the cot- ton mills had incr@ased from $21,088,712 in 1880 to $46,971,503 in 1890. ‘The lecturer gave a number of interesting facts to show that the prosperity of the south is real, and not merely on the sur- face, and also that the south is keeping pace with the times in the matter of edu- cation. The extension of deep water fa- cilities is cssential to the south, in order to enable her to meet the growing demands for her products, The Negro Question. The negro question, with respect to its relaticn to the industrial progress of the country, received considerable attention at the hands of the speaker. He said that there was no forcible solution of the negro question, and that it was absurd to think of colonizing the negro either at home or abroad. According to him, the negro can no more be colonized than he can be made a Caucasian. “The only true policy,” he contended, “is to do the best that can be done in developing the very best negro and the very best Indian out of the present negro and Indian, and make of them in- dustrious and intelligent citizens. Educa- tion by the book is all very well, but it is not sufficient. What the negro needs is what the Indian needs, and that is, to be taught how to do something fairly well.” He believed that the negro could not be as- similated with the white race, and that the whole negro question must be considered along industrial lines. By so considering it, he thought the solution would grow more apparent, the status of the negro more satisfactory, and the welfare of the community more thoroughly assured. While slavery is the simplest form of labor, as despotism is the simplest form of govern- ment, the moment freedom comes indi- vidual rights become prominent, and social, political and industrial affairs correspond- ingly complicated, resulting eventually in strikes, lockouts and other struggles be- ‘ween labor and capital. His belief was that the aristocracy of brains made up from the best minds of the two elements will solve the questions between these two forces whenever they must be solved. Golden Rule. ¢ The labor question could not be solved now, because the very conditions which make the system of competition a neces- sity prevent {ts solution. “The wage sys- tem which now exists in all parts of the land,” said he, “must hold sway until the leaders of industry and of labor are ready to work on the basis of the golden rule, that is, when capital is ready to associate itself with labor, not as its controller, but as its fellow, and when labor is intelligent enough to accept the fellowship.” He pre- dicted that industrial education and owner- ship of lands will secure industrial peace in the south and freedom from iconoclastic socialism, There was no need to fear so- lism or anarchy. Tudustrial progress, Mr. Wright said, kills destructiv= social- ism and aids and furthers constructive so- clalism. He had no sympathy with those who fear that the industrial development of the south would cause a loss to the 1 dustries of other portions of the count! It was his opinion that the welfare of one was the welfare of the other, and that the United States could not afford to have any section lag behind, either in industrial or educational enterprise. The fact that every part and section of the country was put- ting forth its best efforts to secure to it- self the results of its own resources leads naturally to the most gratifying conciu- sions as to the future prosperity of the country as a whole. Political asperities, race jealousies, the 1 and social progress. . Push On. Commissioner Wright closed his lecture with the following statement: “So I would say to the men of the south, the outlook for the future demands that you push on, traveling along the lines now being trav- eled, absorbing capital from whatever source it cores, and putting the courage and the persistence with which a non-in- dustrial community fought for four years against an industrial community into the development of the new south. You can take no backward step; you must push on under the new order of things. Make your country rich; make the labor that makes the country rich happy; make your capital safe and profitable; meet the irritating difficulties as they come, in the spirit of justice and of kindliness, and you will make the richest portions of the inherit- ance of our fathers the wonder of the world.” —— SS Cause for Rejoicing.

Keep this mixture tightly corked, label it “poison” and set it on the top shelf of the most-out-of-the-way closet, so that inquisitive children will not get hold of it. It makes an excellent dressing, affording speedy relief from pain. Keep a soft linen cloth saturated with the mix- ture closely over the burn, excluding the air. Shake before using. It is quite common for children to get beans and other hard substances up the nose, and about the first thing one does op discovering them is to poke them fur- ther up in frantic efforts to get them out. A remedy that acts like a charm at times is to force the child’s mouth open, and, covering its mouth with your own to blow very hard, The force will often expel the substance without other trouble. About the safest thing to do is to take the child immediately to the doctor. os 8s @ A French mother says: “O to give the castor oil, it ees not mooch troubles. One leetle pan, vare clean over a leetle fire, and in the pan the oil. Make it vare warm and then break into it one egg, which makes the omelette, with a pinch of salt to flavor and a bit of jelly to make it pretty. It is quite easy, I assure you.” v8 ar A woman who ought to know says that egg shells burned to a dark brown in the oven and crushed quite fine will keep all kinds of bugs away when sprinkled on pantry shelves. ge Ot Stains of apples, peaches and pears on linen will often yield to a bath of kero- sene. Soak for six hours. oe es ee A: very sensible mother of my acquaint- ance who has a brood of young children ard a whole closet of remedies that she is perfectly competent to use if the ailments are the simple, childish ones, has a unique way of marking bottles and boxes that centains poisons. She pastes a strip of red calico around the box or bottle, and labels it “poison” on a big white label. Anybody who gets hold of the stuff in the dark even knows that it is poison, because of the cloth about it. It seems a very sensi- ble idea, indeed. v8 se ee Here is a cheap but extremely palatable dessert. Put one quart of perfectly fresh milk in a pudding dish with half a cup of sugar, three or four bits of stick cinna- mon—or such flavoring as you like—a tea- spconful of butter, pinch of salt and two even tablespoonfuls of clean, dry rice. Set in a moderately hot oven and bring the heat up to the browning point. As soon as the pudding browns over the top stir the crust under and let it brown again. The pudding should bake about an hour, and be stirred down at least a half a dozen times. It 1s deliciously digestible. A sick person will often crave boiled milk, and it is an appetizing thing when taken hot with a little salt, but boiled milk is constipating in a strong degree, and you must bear this in mind. If the liver Is torpid boiled milk is bad medicine. Milk heated just to the boiling point, but not actually boiled, will be just as palatable, but you would best see to its preparation yourself, as servants are apt to be careless.

Sometimes the wee bit of a baby gets a dirty, scabby looking spot on the top of its head, and its misguided mamma nearly wears its little scalp out in a vain endeavor to scrub or “fine comb” it clean, when in fact she is only making it worse. When you notice the little yellow scales rub the baby’s head at night with vaseline, put- ting it pretty thick on the scruffy spot. In the morning when bathing it break an egg and dip a soft old linen rag in the pure yolk and rub the cl head gently. You may have to do thi: night for a week before you conquer the ugly spot, but there is nothing better for it. Never.comb @ baby’s head with a fine comb.

They Lived in a Cave in Upper New York. A peculiar abode was discovered by Po- liceman Leggett of the West 100th street station in a vacant lot at Columbus avenue and 95th street, New York, Thursc~y night. While patrolling his beat the off -r noticed- smoke apparently rising from a pile of snow. Prompted a great deal by curiosity he approached the place and his curiosity then turned info amazement. As he began to investigate the mystery there was a sliding sound, as if a panel door was slid open, and he heard voices coming from the ground. In a moment a man’s head was shoved through an opening and a voice from the head demanded of Leggett what he wanted. “What are you doing?” asked the officer, scenting a great “haul.” The head disappeared, and the voice was heard to say: “Cheese it, Jim; here's a cop.” The officer crawled through the hole and gazed in astonishment about him. He was in a cave about seventeen feet long by nine feet wide and six feet high. There were a small table, an improvised stove, a lighted candle, shelves, a chest, and even chromos on the wall. The place was, in fact, a warm and cozy sleeping apartment. The beds were raised mounds of earth cov- ered with straw. The men were playing cards when the officer interrupted them. They were arrested, and, in the Harlem police court, when charged with disorderly conduct, gave the names of John Smith and James Anderson. They were discharged by Justice Welde with the advice that they give up their underground apartment. ———+ 0+____ Damages for W. K. Vanderbilt.
