Detective Fallacics.

A prominent English detective, who
recently visited this country to work up
u case in the interest Of the Bank of
England, told me that he was called to
the South KensingtOa Museum, in Lon
don, a few years ago to arrest gentle
man on suspicion of having stolen very
valuable old Roman coin, believed TO be
the only one of the kind extant. Upon
presenting an official order he had been
permitted to take the coin from the case, to
which he had seemingly returned it after
examining it for some time. But when
the attendant was about to lock the case
the coin was missing. The gentleman
Indignantly denied having it, and re-.
fused TO be searched. The detective |
have mentioned, by a forcible search,
found the coin upon him a1d was about
to take him to prison when, as the at.
tendant was about to replace the coin in
the case, he discovered the one belong
ing TO the museum. Just where it had
slipped out of sight when the gentleman
restored it. 1t seems there was another
of the coins, and thar the gentleman had
purchased it and had been anxious to
compare it with the one in the museum
to establish its genuineness. Thus you
see how black circumstances may some
times appear against the most innocent
persons. -Philadsibhil Nes0s.

How to XIII ana Dress n Fowl.

TO dress fowl with the least trouble,
hang it up by the feet so that it will
drop convenient height, and attach a
wire hook to the under beak of the fowl
to which hang half a brick. Sever the
juguldr vein with sharp knife, and
proceed to pick, holding the wings with
one hand while you pick with the other.
Work quickly. Get most of the feathers
off the breast side with three or four
hand pulls, and change the wings to the
other hand held across the breast of the
fowl, and with few pulls get most Of
the feathers off the back. Grasp one
wing at a time, and pull out the long
feathers at one stroke. Then finish up
the picking entirely before the fowl is
taken down. When done, chop off the
head, take sharp knife and cut through
the skin around the vent, being careful
not to sever the intestine Pull gently,
and as the intestine comes out insert the
foretinger and bring out the intestine;
rapidly, but do not break them. Get
them out up to the gizzard, and break oil
there by the thumb and forefnger, and
your fowl is ready for market. If you
wish to make ready to cook, the hole
must be slightly enlarged and the giz-
zard pulled out, cut open and the inner
lining removed, with all gravel, food,
etc. A slit must be made in the breast
and the crop removed, which should be
empty when the fowl is killed. Some
people remove the lungs 1t is not nee.
essary. The heart should be removed
and washed, rs some clotted blood is
usually around it. The operation of pre-,
pairing fowl for market can be done by
an expert sometimes in three minutes. -

A Primitive Berlin Cnfe.

of about the size of large soup bowl,
and fastened near every one was big
iron spoon attached to the log BIZ an
iron chain. The method of dining was
neither complicated nor prolonged. A
table d hote dinner consisting of one
course, which. by the way, was the only
dinner served in the house, cost five
pfennigs-about one cent and quarter
of our coin. The diner enters and planks
down his money before taking his seat.
Then he chooses one of the broad cavi-
ties, seizes the iron spoon, and waits for
the waiter. That functionary is usually
a sort of Poo Bah, combining in himself
the duties of cashier, proprietor, head
waiter, and bouncer-n-chief. Alter the
guest is seated the waiter walks up to
him bearing two steaming cans and asks
shortly. "rhick or clear soupW The

a Holy Mission.

There is a most beautiful profession for
which women are especially adapted open to
our sex today. Its ranks are not yet filed to
overflow. 1t requires small outlay of expense
and only year or two of study and close
application before considerable money re-
ward can be obtained. Two or three years of
close application TO study and practice fits
any earnest, honest and sympathetic woman
to earn an excellent living, with no more
fatigue Of mind or body than the work of
the actress produces. 1t is well paid labor

Women at the Case"

s'There are about 600 women who set type

go, good trade for woman, and how are
the wages? The prosperity of the Typo

women, so | was informed. Typesetters are
men of sufficient intelligence to know that
the principal danger to be feared from the
competition Of women comes from their
lower rate of wages, and so it comes about
that, whereas in non-union Offices difference
of several cents per 600 ems is frequently
made between the pay of the sexes, in union
offices they stand on the same footing, and a
decided gain thus accrues to tie feminine
members Of the force.
'Intelligent women make good typesetters,
but their reputation as workmen, IN Dewspa-
per offices at least, does not, / find, equal the
average of the men. The proportion of
women employed is, however, small and an
accurate judgment not easily reached.
Women are not employed on morning pa
pers, which are set at night, and not exten
sively on afternoon papers. Newspaper men
say they cannot hurry. Their work is mostly
for the weeklies, for magazines and or
books, departments much less well paid than

"How do they make champagnsi Well,
you must remember that good deal Of what
is labeled champagne is doctored with car
bolic acid gas, But the real stuff is made by
a mixture of ten or dozen different wines
made from certain varieties Of foreign grapes.
The wines are first made separate, each from
a separate grape then they are blended to-
gether for taste and bouquet in certain pro-
portions. well understood by winemakers.
The blended wines are then bottled and cork
ed, and undergo process Of fermentation for
two years The bottles are then opened, tho

The Washington Bellies Bouquet.

There is an old fashioned idea that a ro-
mantle young lady always takes the flowers
sent her by her most devoted admirer, and
puts them away with lock of his hair. In
after life, she may drag them out of some
dark corner and make him ashamed of his
extravaganza. But that is not what the
Washington girls do with their roses. They
wear them in their belts until they are
faded Then they strip off the leaves and
put them in some handsome urn, or jar, with
spices and perfume, or with just the perfume
and glycerine. Then they have ''rose JAR"
or potpourri 1t differs from other pot
pourr'is only in that the leaves of no flowers,
except those presented by some favorite, or
favorites, are admitted. Sometimes the
blossoms of vioIets and other sweet flowers
are used with the roses. 1t is only then val
ued for its fragrance and the romantic aSso-
citation.
Another way is 70 use the rose leaves and
glycerine only. Then the young lady keeps
away chapped lips by the use of this delicate
salve 1t takes many flowers for such a jar,
but the lady would have no claim to being
belle if she could not collect enough during a
season. The size Of the jar varies according
to the measure of the flowers the fair one re-
ceiyes, and there is a rivalry to be able to
display the finest jar Sometimes the vessel
in which the leaves are packed is quite beau
tiful and expensive. When it is remembered
that in the dead of winter bunch of flowers
may cost anywhere from s. to $50, according
TO their rarity, the costly character of tho
contents of the jar may be appreciated

Women and Their Rooms.

Some one has said "show me the room in
which woman spends most of her time and
/ will tell you something about her," and I'M
doubtedly there is certain amount of truth
in the remark, although in these days of
professional shoppers and house furnishers
one cannot be quite sure when in looking
about and admiring whether one is praising
the taste of the owner of the apartment or the
person employed by her. However, in d
wonan's own bedroom and boudoir, if she be
fortunate enough TO possess one, this Is not
SO apt to be the case, for as a rule each one
likes to try for herself to see what new
effects can be produced, and there are any
number of young women who not only select
the furnishings but actually do the decorating
of the walls and ceilings of their rooms
with their own hands, and if the result has
not always been satisfactory there isa certain
amount of pleasure in having tried These
if any are the rooms where the individual
taste is paramount and where the widest
flights of fancy are permitted.
And it is curious to note ths difference in
apartments, from those of the greatest
simplicity to the ones where everything is as
luxurious as possible. And if any especial
fad or hobby is indulged in, here is the chance
to give it vent.-Chicago Herald.
