woman and Newspapers,

Octave Thanct writes in the Epoch:
1T is current opinion that women do
not read the newspapers. They prefer
novels. Now, experience is as deceitfuI
rs beauty and vainer than favor: a
truth that one can realize who will lis
ten to the generalization on the other
sex made by husbands or wives. My
own vain and deceitful experience Is 10
the effect that women do read the
papers. but very likely an uncounted
multitude of women that do not know
read Mrs. Alexander or the Duchess IN
stead. One reason may be that women
lat least in America do not take an
active interest in politics The Sunday

"Thc preparation of good soup,
said the chef OF a leading downtown
hotel to the corridor man yesterday lis
no easy task. Too much care cannot
be shown in selecting the stock and
the ingredients. If there
are few cooks who understand the art
soup making, there are still fewer
guests who know how TO eat soup prop
erly. The uSageS of good society and
the rules of etiquette prescribe that
soup shall be taken from the side OF the
spoon. not from the end. Yet If you
will look through any dining-room in
the city yOu will find the people tipping
the soup down their Threats in the same
way. When soup prepared
by good cook comes to the table 1T Is
a perfect product, and the addition OF
any other ingredient will ruin it. You
remember the story of the famous

de Paris. who resigned his position be-

when see a man filing soup bowl

Late that evening, while old Dalch
was wandering about in the creek bot

he heard some one calling, and turning

puzzled. for he had never seen the hut
before. nor could he tell why it should
have been built. as it was too small for
human habitation, and had no roof
except number of heavy logs on top.

Meerschaum History.

In 1923 there lived in Pesth, the capital
of Hungary, Karol Kowstee, a shoe.
maker, whose ingenuity in cutting and
carving en- wood brought him into con-
tact with Count Andrassy, with whom he
became a great favorite. The Count, on
his return from mission to Turkey,
brought with him piece OF whitish clay,
which had been presented to him as a
curiosity on account of its extraordinary
light specific gravity. 1t struck the shoe
maker that, being porous, it wonld be
we'll adapted for pipes, as it would ab-
sorb the nicotine. The experiment was
tried, and Karol cut pipe for the Count
and one for himself.
He would work on them in odd
moments during working hours without
wiping the wax from his hand. He no.
ticed that the wax gave the pipes pretty
brown polish and also that they smoked
more sweetly. Other noblemen hearing
OF the wonderful species of clay i'm
ported it in considerable quantities for
the manufacture Of pipes. The natural
scarcity Of this clay, known es meer-
schaum, and the great cost of importa-
tion rendered its use exclusively con-
fined to the richest noblemen of Europe
up to 1880, when it became more gem
eral article of trade. The first meer-
schaum pipe made by Karol Kowatee
has been preserved and is now in the
museum at Observation-Disclosures.

THE KIDNAPPING CASE.
The Testimony All I'm And the
AFgumenx to Come.


Justice Austin was occupied all day
yesterday in the preliminary exsmina-
ton of the San Pedro sailors charged
with having kidnapped Louis Busch and
Henry Kemp from the schooner Nettie
Sundborg on the night of the 26th ult.
At $50 O'Clock in the morning the ex-
aminations of F. G. Kiel al d A. 'Ander-
son was resumed, Busch being recalled for
cross-examination. At the close of his
testimony, Deputy Sheriff J. F. Ander-
son was called and told how he learned
that the men were at Portuguese Bend
aud how he later learned they were on
Catalina Island-where he discovered
them. The missing men were taken
to Portuguese Bend in pilot boat be-
longing to the Coast Seaman's Union.
Henry Kemp followed and corrobor-
ated Busch's story in every respect, and
at the end of his direct examination, the
court took recess until 2 o'clock for
lunch.
At 2 O'Clock Kemp again took the
stand for his cross-examination, and he
was followed by J. E. Johnson and N.
WAGNER, the cook and captain of the
schooner Nettie Sundborg. The prose-
cution rested it's case, and by agreement
of counsel the case was contiuued for
argument until O'Clock this afternoon.
At 40 O'Clock the first case against
Fred Enevoldson was called, and Louis
Busch was examined briefly, it being
stipulated by counsel that the testimony
taken in the case against F. @. Kiel and
Anderson should form part of the tes-
timony in this case. This case was also
continued for argument until a O'Clock
today.
F. @. Kiel and A. Anderson came up
for examination upon their second
charge, that of kidnapping Henry Kemp,
at 80 O'Clock, and Kemp having testi-
fed briefly, the same order was made as
in the preceding case.
At O'Clock Enevoldson came up again
on the charge Of kidnapping Kemp, who
briefly related the story of his sbduc.
ton. Then came the two charges
against Chas. Miller and J. A. Anderson.
and in all these cases the same stipula-
ton and order was made, the last one
being disposed of at 4 80 O'Clock.

Sergeant Leverich, of the mounted
police force, left his black horse securely
hitched in front of the police station last
night, but about IL AS o'clnck, while it's
owner was inside the building, some one
came along and took it away. At first
Leverich thought that the animal had
broken loose, but while hunting for it, he
found the blanket, which had been
securely strapped round the horses neck
lying on the pavement near the church
at the corner of Second and Broadway.
This fact at once convinced the sergeant
that the animal had not strayed away,
and he commenced to investigate the
matter in earnest.
At l :15 O'Clock this morning Sergeant
Leverich found his horse on the corner
of Fourth and Spring streets, and ar
rested an individual nam ed John Tramb.
ley, who was in the act of hitching him
to post, on suspicion of having stolen
the animal. The officer took Tramblev
