UifcrcnCe in Dinners.

We all visit at houses where a good
dinner is the rule; at other places it is
equally the exception, and Il calamity
to be invited if one must accept. Why
does this difference exist? From much
observation | am convinced it is the
fault Of the mistress, who submits to
badly cooked dishes either because her
own appetite is indifferent, or lacks
fastidiousness, or she breads an earth
quake in the kitchen, or does not care
to take the trouble to teach Bridget
(eyen if she is willing to learn) the pro-
per method of cooking the more i'm
portant dishes, if, indeed, she knows
herself. Often, too. as | have said, we
make the grave mistake of thinking it
is of no consequence. We should make
the cook understand that we think a
great deal of what we eat, then if she
can do better, she does, and if not, she
will soon leave, and in such case we
ought to feel the sooner the better.
Rembrandt married his cook, thinking
this a more economical alliance than
one with person of refined tastes and
habits; but his cook must have been
more skillful and frugal than the most
of those who preside over our larders.
or the scheme would have been ludi-
crous failure and rare price of extra
vagance! There is an old proverb which
says ''the beans viii be threshed on me, y
which refers to an ancient punishment
OF bad cooks. When the beans were
not properly prepared but were hard
or tough, she was sure to have them
thrown at her head. What a corner
there would be in beans if this punish
ment were the rule in our -dayls -

The Use OF Homing Pigeons.

From a profusely illustrated article
in the Century we quote as follows:
The use of pigeons by Mr.. G. I. Ar
nouX as message-bearers, in the yacht
races of last September, proves conclu
sively the value the birds have as mes
sengers from off the water. The pur-
pose was the thought of the last mo-
ment, and when almost too late to make
the necessary preparations. The ar
rangements were hasty and the material
homed at several centers, some of them
miles away from the center of use.
Still, with all drawbacks, insufficient
cies, and mistakes, it was evident to
the most prejudiced that with birds
trained for the work, and with the at
mospheric condition at all favorable,
the birds would six times out of seven
prove to be of the greatest value; and
failing the seventh, we would be only
where we are without them. The mes.
sages were each not less than ten pages
of manifold note, and were carried
upon the middle feathers of the tail, to
which they were fastened by fine cop
per wire, wound about and pressed fiat,
to hold the message close to the feather.
The editor of newspaper served by
these pigeons said, 1T gives me pecu-
liar sensation to receive copy from the
hand Of one know to be out of reach
upon the water, and to feel that he may
talk to me but | cannot answer back. 1t
is a wonder to me after this experience
that the officers of any vessel. excursion
steamer, yacht, sail or tug boat should
be willing to leave the shore without
this means of communicating with it.
Very many of the merchant ma
rine, especially in European waters
have pigeons on board for use in COM
municating with the vessel from the
small boats away from it or from shore.
These birds, it is said. never mistake
another vessel for their own when at
dock or in the harbor. Ii has been re-
marked of several flights that the birds

A Story of a King iT. a Trap.

The first autograph one sees in the
Bodlelan library is a wonderful piece of
paper. 1t transports us to the council
chamber of Charles H., the king, at one
end of the long table, and the president,
Edward HYDE, earl of Clarendon, the
historian of the great rebellion. at the
other, with my lords of the council
ranged on either side. Suddenly page
is beckoned by the king to bear small
sheet of paper TO the earl. Is it a query
about the dissolution of parliament or
the dismissal of high officer of state?
Not exactly. 1t bears, written near the
top: 81 would willingly make visit to
my sister in Tunbridge for a night or
two at furthest, when do you think | can
best spare that time?" The earl gravely
replies on the same paper: Il know no
reason why you may not for such
lyme (two nights 60 the next weeke,
about Wensday or Thursday and re-
turn TYNE enough Tor the adjournment,
which vet ought to be the weeke fol-
lowing" adding as an afterthought, Il
suppose you will go with the light
Trayne. y Now that. the king sees his
way to spend 4 night or two ''out of
town." he is jocose, and sends the page
back with the right royal reply: Il in
tend to take nothing but my nightbag,"
the answer TO which is: Yes, YOU will
not 90 without forty or fifty horse. y
Now, however, the kings paper and
patience are equally at an end, and he
has only room to answer: Il counte
that parte of my nightbag." Such is
the document. and such are some othe1
state papers in the same volume, but
does it not admit us TO the very council
room and show us the king rs he is?--

WHOLE NO. l45S.
He Brought the Bear.

You know that went up in northern
Michigan last fall on hunting trip
with three or four friends. Well, ! can
tell you of comical little incident
which occurred to our old negro cook.
Jim.
We had killed numerous beavers, por-
cupine, partridges. and pheasants, and
few deer, but we had been grievously
disappointed in getting no bears. We
followed up every bear-track we could
lind, we set traps, and we employed an
Indian hunter to aid us, but no bears
were to be found. although it was said
that there were many in the neighbor-
hood. Returning one afternoon after
an unsuccessful hunt, dispirited and out
of humor, it was no wonder that when
Jim, the cook, who was somewhat of a
privileged character, commenced to
poke fun at us and deride us on the
bear subject one of the fellows be-
came enraged and said: Jim, you
black devil, get out of the camp, and if
after your Dragging you don't bring a
bear back with you before dark Pll give
you sound thrashing.n '.Sartinly |
win, +" replied Jim, gayly. He obeyed,
from any one of the party he started
out, having no idea in the world as to
where he was going. Having wander
ed away mile or so from the camp he
lay down under a tree and went to
sleep. 1t was dusk when he awoke, and
the first thing that met his frightened
gaze was an immense black bear rest
ing on his launches about twenty-five
yards away, and watching his victim
complacently. The bewildered and
thoroughly alarmed negro jumped to
his feet and started for the camD, and
the beast followed. 1t was race for
life, and Jim's only chance was in his
legs, for he had not the vestige of
weapon with him. After half q mile
had been traversed he looked back and
saw that the beast was gaining on him
rapidly. He threw off his cap, and,
while the bear stopped to smell it, he
gained few yards. In this way the
poor darkey continued throwing off his
outer clothing, piece by piece, now and
then, and protiting by the bears mo-
mentary halt to examine and snuff it.
Finally, to Jim's great delight, he saw
the lights of the camp but few rods
away, and having nothing else he
could throw off he redoubled his speed,
but the brute gained rapidly and was
but a few feet behind. A series of blood
curdling whoops brought the fellows
from the tent, and as they reached the
door in came Jim with big black bear
at his heels. ''Gemmen,' gasped he,
''befo' de Lawd, Is brought back dat

A Song of Summer.

The flowers are fringing the swift meadow
brooks,
The songsters are nesting in shadowy hooks
The birds and the blossoms are throngiDg to
meet US,
With loveliness, perfume, and music they
greet US
For Summer, the beautiful, reigns!
The bobolink tits on the tall, nodding clover,
And sings his gay song to us over and over;
The wild roses beckon, with deepening
bushes,
And sweet. from the wood, sounds the warble
of thrushes-
For Summer, the beautiful, reignsl
The white lilies sway with the breeze Of the
In raiment more fair than monarch's adorn-
ing;
The bright-throated humming- bird, marvel of
feetness,
Comes questing for honey-blooms, draining
their sweetness
For summer the beautiful, reigns!
High up in the elm is the oriole courting,
a new suit of velvet and gold ne is sporting;
With gay bits of caroling. tuneful and mellow,
He wooes his fair lady-love, clad in plain
yellow
For Summer, the beautiful, reignsl
The blossoms and birds bring US, yearly,
sweet token
That Natures glad promises never are broken,
Then sing, happy brdlings, nor ever grow
weary!
Laugh on, merry children, it's time to be
cheeryi-
For Summer, the beautiful, reigns!

Iron That VIII Not Rust.

The liability of iron to rust is great
drawback to its use for many purposes,
and the practical value of a process
which will protect it, at a slight ex-
pense, is self-evident. That the process
is successful in accomplishing this OBJ
jcct seems no longer matter of doubt,
and at less cost than galvanizing or
timing. The color on cast and wrought
iron is a bluish-gray, which to some
may be Objectionable. but, as the coat
ing takes paint far better than untreat-
ed iron, this objection is easily over
come. and with the assurance that the
paint will remain, and not soon be
thrown off as it is generally. For pol
ished work the color is lustrous blue
black, adding greatly 70 the beauty OF
the article treated This process seems
peculiarly well adapted for gas and
water pipes. Any one who has had
occasion to use water which has passed
through a new iron pipe, or one that
has not been used for some time, knows
how full of rust it is, and that only
after months of constant use does 1t be-
come clear again. With pipe coated
with the magnetic oxide by the Bower
Bartf process, no trouble OF the kind
can occur. The water runs pure from
the first day, and if for any reason the
pipes are emptied, and left so, there is
no danger of their becoming coated
with rust. Another important fact is,
that the water coming through one OF
these rustless pipes is just as pure as
when it entered, for the water can dis
solve none of the coating of oxide, as it
always does with lead or galvanized
pipes 1t is a well-known fact that
water running through lead pipes is
very apt to contain lead in solution, and
the continued use of such water causes
lead-poisoning, for, although the
amount (of lead) dissolved may be very
small, still it accumulates in the system.
and finally causes sickness and disease.

Civil Liberty and Equal Rights.

We quote the concluding sentences of
timely editorial with the above title in
the Century: 1--WE have prided our
selves on the fact that our society was
mainly composed of workingmen; and
the great mass of our workingmen have
an American horror of the coward who
stabs in the back or throws dynamite.
But there are professional agitators,
who are ignorantly melting working
men to acts which differ only in degree
from those of the anarchists; and some
of their disciples, having no better in
struction than the agitators are in the
habit of furnishing, are inclined to
apologize for or defend acts committed
in the name of labor which they would
condemn at once if a professed anar-
chist were the doer. They should learn
the meaning of civil liberty, that it is
the measure of natural freedom which
society considers to be consistent with
the equal freedom of others. Let it be
shown, at any time, that the measure
of civil liberty is so large that some are
using it to abridge the equal liberty of
others, and society must and will alb
ridge civil liberty So far as is necessary
to secure equal rights.
'Can society, at least in our American
form of it, accomplish such task us
this if it should become necessary The
anarchist thinks not; he evidently has
brt meager notion of the war-power
of democracy; for, forcible resistance to
society must be considered as war. Only
monarchies and aristocracies make war
and peace with facility. A democracy
E., o1v hnc
it with a succession of costly blunders,
and usually succumb only through alb
solute exhaustion. The manner in which
republican France threw back Europe
from her borders in 1898 and assumed
the hopeless contest with Germany in
1901, the desperate nature of the
struggle between the United States and
seeding States and between the two
republics of Peru and Chilli, are but ex-
amples of the intensity with which de-
mocracy rises to the height of an in
creasing danger. The poets simile of
"a wildcat mad with wounds is none
too strong for democracy when it is
pushed into a dangerous position. Is
there any reason to suppose that the
American democracy has changed its
nature in twenty-five years?
THE courts are open for all; the laws
may be altered peaceably. If laws are
bad, if rich oppressors exist, powerful
labor organizations are just the element
needed to reform the one and to prose-
cute the other. But let the work be
done decently and in order, without in
fringing the recognized and equal civil
liberty of others. Above all, let the
organizations impress upon their mem
bers, as the very first lesson, that vio-
lert resistance to society can only be of
evil omen for these organizations, for
society itsolf and for civil liberty -
