A remarkable incident. and one whose
serious character was partly offset by its
righteousness. occurred the other morn
ing in the kitchen OF house on Penn
Avenue. The cook was busily manip
ulafing the stirring paddle in "a huge
pot Of mush. which was seething on the
stove. Two Of the domestics employed
in the household were present. and
while the mush was being worked up IN
proper style the three fell into warm
discussion Presently the argument was
changed to quarrel, and the women
entered into the dispute with great rel
ish. Something was said disparagingly
Of the cook, and in u fix 81 supreme an
ger she retaliated upon the domestic
who made the remark by landing ladle
full of hot mush directly into her face
Five minutes later the owner 81 the
house. aroused from his slumhers By the
noise. rushed into the kitchen, and WAS
1 literally astounded BY the scene which
met his view. Soft masses of mush
were living IN all directions. The cell
inc. walls. carpet and various articles IN
the apartment were copiously orDa-
mented with big chunks Of the smoking
compound. and the irate domestics, with
their hands madly mixed mp in each

tered with il. The battle had been =
hot one in more senses than one. and af-

every portion Of Illinois. Indiana, Mis-

The mouth i no, to be played pranks
with. but il often i 90. The needless
practice Of putting small articles into
the mouth, either for the purpose 81
holding them for few moments or for
PLAYING some trick, has been frequently
attended with very serious conse-
quences. Yet the practice Is common
especially among young women, who
may be seen holding p;-s between their

humble rank FOR putting pins in their
mouth when they have occasion 70 re-

Children Of both sexes seem almost
to have an instructive fancy 70 put play
things in their mouth. and sometimes
therefore give no end Of trouble 10
parents and nurses. Notwithstanding
every precantion, distressing accidents
occur. A few years ago a boy swal-
lowed a small piece Of brass chain, with
which he had been amusing himself by
putting II into his mouth. The bit ~
chain lodged in the stomach, and,
though medical aid was resorted 10. the
poor child languished and died. Only
