KEELY'S NEW DISCOVERY.
Perfectly Satisfied That He Has FINALLY
Found the Right Thing.

1
John W. Kelly, with his side-whiskers
closely clipped, his face not so rotund
as usual, and weighing eighteen pounds
less than he did six months ago, sal
down yesterday to tell Record re.
porter of his latest discovery. As he re.
lated the story the discoveries eyes
sparkled and beam OF satisfaction
spread over his face when he remarked

The Empress tried to comfort her, and
at length promised to give her any
thing within reason that she might ask
for. After thinking for some time the
afflicted mother replied:
"rd like to have a pair of those
eighteen-cent vases at Schmidt's. They
are job lot and dirt cheap"
They were sent to her next day by the
Empress.
A big man in his shirt-sleeves sat on
the curb-stone in detected manner op-
posite the Castle Spinola. Tears from
his eyes flooded the gutter. and his
throbs threatened to shake him apart.

the Empress approached him and said:

Once more the Empress promised to
use her influence. That evening she
started for Niantica, small village
about forty miles from Vienna, where q
great number of workmen are employed
in the macaroni works.
The Empress walked until almost ex-
hausted. The sight Of mile-post
marked "Niantica, thirty miles," dis
couraged her, and she boarded Blue
line street-car and returned to the pal
ace.

with the knowledge of the everyday

Mems shoes this season are made
palmer and with less fancy fxings.
There is probably less ''style" this
spring about mems footgear than about
anything else they wear. For several
years boots have been gradually going
out of fashion, and, following the En-
glish custom, shoes have been coming
into general wear among men for Or
binary use as well rs for special Occa-
sions. Similarly the long popular elias
tic gaiter has had its day and has been
fast going out of fashion. 1t is still
manufactured to some extent for the
wholesale trade and continues to b.
worn by some men who like it because
it is got on and off so easily, but it has
been long discarded by every one max
ing any pretentions to style.
The favorite thing continues to be the
laced gaiter, made with moderately
narrow toes and tips. This has long
held its own in popular favor and prom

An Interesting Story Of Flight, Outlawry
and Secrecy.

An Interesting Story Of Flight, Outlawry
and Secrecy.
A story Of flight, outlawry, and Sc
crecy hardly less interesting than that
of Goife and Whalley, the regicide
judges. whose concealment forms one
of the most dramatic episodes of New
England history, is, says the Boston
Advertiser, to be found in the Mas
sachusetts law reports:
I'm 1850, one Shadrach Ireland, the
head of a fanatical religious sect in
Charlestown, declared himself to be
perfect and immortal, and possessed
of all the attributes of deity. This
straightway led to his Indictment for
blasphemy, and his fight to the town
of Harvard He was there received by
one of his followers and given an upper
chamber in a house situated in the
woods, and far remote from prying
neighbors. To guard from all surprise,
'clapper' was placed in his room and
connected by a string with the lower
part OF the house. BY this he was APP
prised of the approach of strangers, and
would secrete himself still more effectu-
ally. To the children of his hosts
family his very name was unknown,
and by them he was called uncle or
simply the man. Chatting at his close
confinement, he caused shed to be
erected near the house, and there
worked at his trade, that of cabinet
making. A subterranean passage and
secret stairway connecting with his
chamber enabled him to escape when
visitors approached. He subsequently
erected a stronghold of his own, known
as the square house. where he received
his followers and gave them spiritual
instruction. There, too, after twenty
years of concealment, he died, an old
man. For three generations the secret
OF his life was faithfully kept by his
sect, till at last it came by chance to be
spread upon the records of the court
and made matter of curious history"

Leaks I'm the Kitchen.

IL your own strength is insufficient,
your family too large for doing. the
work yourself, or if the reduction in
of all service, there is much that may
be saved with one servant. With man
agement, the large waste, too often the
accompaniment of hired service, can
be reduced to sum which will not se-
riously interfere with the income. In
the first place make up your mind that
your own care and oversight must be
constant, and that no duty is so small
but that you yourself must know the.
length, breadth and height of it. Make
mp your mind that you will be full of
care. bring all your force of character
to bear upon your task of money saw
ing, and remember that eternal vigi-
lance is the watchword of the thrifty
housewife.
If your servant is too consequential
or too ill-tempered to bear your over
sight in the kitchen, and tact and kind
liness will not win her, dismiss her and
try again. 1t may not be eesy to find
one who will bear constant watching
and direction, but there are good dis
positions among servants rs elsewhere,
and kindliness and consideration will
help you to carry your point. This be-
ing arranged, you enter upon your do
mestic rule i'll q sort of unequal part
nership-the servant is to be the hands
and yourself the brains. From an ig-
norant belief that the more good things
that are put into the making of dish
the better it will be, and from an en-
tire Indifference to the cost of supply
ing, the average servant uses q third
more material than is necessary to
place palatable dishes on the table, and
the poor housewife surveys with dis
may the emptying butter jar and sugar
box, and the fast disappearing eggs
and spices, and sits disheartened before
the thin purse and unbalanced ac-
counts. A far more effective way is to
take share in the cooking yourself,
and to appear often in the kitchen.
When you know certain dishes are to
be made be on the spot and yourself
check the lavish use which is so closely
allied to the wilful waste that the re-
suit is the same. You know that two
or theee eggs will make your pudding
:-as well as five, that your cake Is far
more apt to be heavy with heaped
cup of butter than a scant one; you can
judge just how much your family will
eat and see that little is cooked to be
left over, and the best of it cold or
'hashed up"-that distressing form of
bad diet Only your authority can
stop these leaks.-Good Housekeeping.
