CREOLE GUMBO.

! A writer on the New York Star
says. "Aside from a few private
'houses, there is only one place in New
York where a real Creole gumbo file
or, q real Creole dat'be, can be had,
and that is little restaurant upon the
third floor Of large brick house on
University place. The restaurateur
is an old Creole himself, who is salts
fed with an average of twenty Gus
toners day. He both cooks end
serves the food himself, having but
one assistant, who washes the pots and
kettles and dishes and keeps things
clean generally. But old Moietz Ma
ritani is famous cook, and could
command a large salary should he lis
ten to some Of his friends. He speaks
no French Or Spanish, but simply the
real old New Orleans Creole dialsct,
which lisa mixture of both f'rench and
Spanish. The gumbo file he serves is
a marvel. 1t is great favorite with
DIR. Chauncey NJ. Depew and Mr.. Fl.
Walter Webb, the Third Vice-Presi-
dent of the New York Central rail
road. 1t is a sort Of soup, made of
chicken meat, crabs, shrimps or cray
fish, bacon, eggs, okra, sassafres, and
favored with fine old sherry wine.
Just before it is served a quantity OF
grated boiled potatoes and flour and
plenty Of seasoning is added. 1t is a

A CASE OF WIDOW BURNING
TLondon Times, I

# A case of,suttee, which is unusual
in China, although it is regarded as a
great virtue, is reported from the
neighborllood Of Foohchow. The vic
tim was young woman "a years Of
age, whose husband died of leprosy
early in the year, She was childless,
and had none but distant relatives to
depend upon for support. She had,
therefore, she said, no alternative but
to commit this act Of self-sacrifce.
As soon as her intention became
known she received several invitations
to grand banquets, ali Of which she
accepted and enjoyed as if there were
to. be no sequel. After a special feast
Of this character, she assembled a stage
constructed for the purpose, where the
village elders came to make their obe-
issances, each three times, as if she
were already a cononized saint. The
signal having been given by firing off
a gun, she ascended a scaffold w;th
her hands pinioned, and there in the
sight Of all, strangled herself. Her
body was placed in a coffin, which was
duly prepared beforehand. It is said
that the emperor will. grant a tablet
extolling her virtue as soon as the
,viceroy Of the province represents the
case TO the throne.

A Scrap Of Paper Saves Her

/
It was just an ordinary scrap, of
wrapping paper, but it saved her lite.
She was in the last stages of consump-
ton, told by her physician that she
was incalrable and could live only a
short time; she weighed less than ny
enty pounds. On piece of wrappf6k
paper she read of DR.. Kings New
Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it
helped her, she bought a large bottle,
it helped her more, bought another
and grew better fast, continued its use
and is now strong, healthy, rosy,
plump, weighing l4O pounds. For
fuller particulars send stamp to W. Fl.

A Boon for Suffering Woman,

II there are times in life that try mems
souls, there arc also times that try wo-
mems souls. As woman's organization
in general is more delicate than mans
40 She has special functions of far
more delicate character. which render

more skillful and careful treatment.

has ever proved more successful in the
cure of such diseases than Pe-ru-na. In
