About Displayed Goods.

There is an old English law, l am told,
whereby n "shopkeeper" can be COM
PEELED TO take from his show window
and sell at the price marked any article
a customer points ont. Several COM
pa%ratively recent arrivals in this coun-
try have cited this to me, and kicked
with both feet because of refusals to
spoil a show window display by taking
a pair of shoes of a brand and size of
which there are hundreds in stock. As
far as l can learn the enactment was in
tended to prevent the manufacture Of
samples for windows and the palming
off on persons attracted thereby Of
something equally rs good"
However true it may be that the old
English common law regards the price
on an article in a window as a contract
between the store owner and any passer-
by who tenders the money, there is no
such ordinance or law here. Often peo-
pie insist on having something from the
window, and decline to accept its exact
duplicate. In that case, if the article is
al expensive one, we strain the point
and get it down; but if it is something
low priced we give the customer the al
tentative Of taking "a duplicate or
nothing. Interview in st. Louis Globe

SPANISH DISHES.
How 1, Use oil In Cooking wItho Its
DIsagreeabie Effects.

How 1, Use oil In ookIn without Its
DI.agreeabIe Effects.
Though, as u rule, Spaniards of the
better class are not early risers, they be
gin the day with the desayuno. as they
call the meal. This usually consists Of a
large cup Of milk and coffee, or a small
cup Of thick chocolate, with a kind Of
cake called eusaimada. The chocolate
is made with milk, never with water, ex-
cept in the poorest families. Between |
and 2 .. IN. old fashioned Spanish folks
have their dinner. The table is very
simply laid with a clean cloth and sew
eral plates of sweets and fruits; flowers
seldom appear; saltcolllr, pepperbov and
mustardpot never. \ spoon. fork and
knife Jumped together, a tumbler for
water and a small wineglass are set at
each place.
A Spauiard never commits the heresy
Of mixing wine and water; he says it is
spelling two good things. A goodly
sized loaf Of bread fianks each plate.
The soup tureen is first handed round.
and, although its contents are a trihe
greasy, nothing car be more n~Ourishing.
1t is compounded Of all the good things
that 90 to make up the classical cocido
or puchero. The substantial portion
with which the soup is made is placed
in three separate dishes and served up
Immediately afterward. On one dish
figure large, thick slices of boiled beef
and pieces Of fowl with slices of bacon;
on another appear the ~garbanzos, or
chick peas, and on the third are the veg
etables with slices Of chorizo, or sausage.

though in some houses tomato sauce Is
added. The puchero, or cocido, takes
its name from the pewter pot IN which
it is slowly boiled. In every well regu-
lated home throughout Spain the cocido
is made once II day, and a right good
thing it is, rs at any noun you may
chance to need a cup Of broth you can
be supplied with it. The next dish is
the frito. Frito means a fry, andthe dish
usually consists Of fried brains, fried
sweetbread. c~roquettes of fowl, etc.
In no country are things fried better
than in Spain, because good olive oil is
used to fry them in, and oil makes those
d~elicacies more crispy. Tint Spanish
oil may be turned to good account for
anything in cooking will no doubt IL
~unbounded surprise. There is no deny
ing the fact. however, Food i'll prepared
with oil is no doubt a trying case in so
far As the palate and nostrils are con-
cerned, but "A good Spanish cook knows
well how to disguise the taste of the oil
in many ways.
The simplest and perhaps the best ad-
vice is to let the oil come to a boiling
point and to throw in a piece of bread,
which is taken ont rs soon AS it becomes
brown and thrown away. This takes off
any bad taste the oil may have. The
pan is then carried to an open window
and the steam blown away, a process
which as effectually clears it of any un-
sayory smell.-Boston Transcript.

Doctors have i~nveighed against the
dangerous gum which is used on some
envelopes, and mlshaps have been fire.,
quent as the result of damping the gun
on envelopes with the tongue. All pos,
sibility Of such accidents is removed by
the automatic lock envelopes which have
been patented. On the flap of the en-.
velope are two projecting fianges, and
all that is necessary to do to close the
envelope is to fold these fianges by ready
stamped lines, and insert the flap thus
narrowed in a slot provided, whereupon
the folded flanges automatically lock
themselves in the slot, and the envelope
cannot be opened without tearing it.
The operation sounds much more com.
plicated than it really is in practice, for
one of these new envelopes can be closed
as readily as the better known gummed
envelopes.-New York Telegram

pEcoRATE ThE PIANO.
In Small Rooms 1t Il Now Made = Thing
of Beauty and an Artistic JOY.

In Small Rooms 1t Il Now Made = Thing
of Beauty and an Artistic JOY.
The magic skill Of modern decorators
has ~vanduished the formidable aggres-
siveness even Of the parlor piano. For
merly pianos wero most O~bstinAtely,
~hopelessly angular objects in a pretty
parlOr, positively refusing to lend them
selves to any scheme Of decoration. But
even a piano has possibilities, and since
these possibilities have been discovered
and realized the piano is the keynote Of
the whole decorative scheme. OF course
in all city parlors an upright piano is
used, and instead of being set back
against the wall like a child in disgrace,
it Is now turned out into the room al
most at right angles, which is decidedly
more agreeable to the performer. The
back Of the instrument is then draped
with some beautiful material, hanging
like a curtain to the floor.
Sometimes a plain piece of Roman
sheeting is used, a silken damask or
Pompadour velvet, with the main color
in harmony with the room. Some
ladies introduce a small picture or bit of
embroidery in one upper corner, around
which the drapery is hung gracefully, or
clever needlewomen embroidsr the
whole drapery in quaint. odd designs.
A scarf Of silk -harmonizing with the
hanging at the back falls over the top Of
the piano, and there are caudelAbra or
some light pieces Of bric-a-brac that will
not rattle when the instrument is in use.
Such are the possibilities Of a piano as
an object OF decorative art, but wonder
full indeed are its possibilities in another
direction
Placed near a bay window, it shuts in
the contest lovers nest imaginable.
Soft cushioned window seats that have
room for just two-intuitive seats they
might be called-are hidden thua away
completely from the cold, cruel world.
Smokers retreats with little couches
may be hidden in the shadow Of such a
piano when rich h~angings fall from a
corner window. Or a delightful tea cor
ner is made with a screen for a doorway,
and soft divans aud dim lights inside.
Miss Georgia Cayvan has such a tea cor
ner in her artistic little house in Harlem.
The back of the piano is hung with a
soft shade Of yellow, brocaded with dull
green leaves and flowers. Against this
the little tea table is placed, with its
dainty belongings, and a low chair be-
side 1t where the hostess presides.
A yellow cushioned divan extends en-
tirely around this corner, lighted by the
soft radiance Of a lamp with a pale green
shade, and piled high with a bakers
dozen Of pillows-large and small and
medium-with bright siIken covers

All English railway companies are
very particular about civility being
shown to the public, with perhaps one
exception, known TO most railway men:
but sven that company has now i'm
proved in this respect, as well as in many
others. A baldheaded director Of this
company was travelling with some stran-
gers, and at one Of the stations one Of
them asked the name of the place. A
porter pointed to the name board, re-
marking, Cant you readg' The direc-
tor was somewhat yexed, but said moth
ing. At the next station another OF the
passengers asked if they changed there
for A.. sit still, and don't bother;
this amt a junction, the porter replied.
The director, who was much surprised
at the i~ncivility of the porters, told the
strangers who he was, and expressed re-
gret that they had been so spoken to. Il
will see, however, he said, 'if they will
speak in the anne way TO me At the
next station he put his head out OF the
window, but could get no ones attention
till tina train was moving off, when a
porter came up and shouted 10 him.
Keep your bald head in, old buffer, or
you'll catch cold" He fumed with rage,
but the strangers seemed to enjoy his
defeat.

tions the next day, and three fgces were

A new type of gas lamp that has been
introduced abroad consists primarily of
an argand burner inclosed in a globe,
with the air for supporting combustion
admitted both above and below the
flame. The lower supply of air passes
through the center of the burner, while
the upper supply enters from above the
burner into the globe, which i~ncloses
besides the burner a metallic dehector
upon which the flame impinges and is
conducted to a porcelain bell mouthed
exit above. The supply of air entering
from above is thus highly heated in its
passage. The result of the well balanced
proportions of gas and air admitted to
the globe, which practically becomes the
combustion chamber, results in a brill.
liant bulb shaped light of high illumi-
mating power.-New York Telegram.

Among men of letters the most promi-
nent amhidexter is probably Professor
George Martin Lane, pope professor of
Latin in Harvard. 1t is his habit to
stand facing the middle Of the black
board. He begins 10 write a sentence
with his left hand. and runs along until
he reaches a point in line with his face.
Then he shifts the chalk from his left
hand to his right, and continues writing
until he reaches the end of the black
board. When calling the roll the stu
dents know by the motion of the pro-
fessor's hands just the mark he intends
to make.
He writes with his right hand until he
comes to n scholar who answers mot
prepared" The pen is instantly changed
from the right TO the left hand. Every
body knows that means a goose gig.
Professor Lane is noted for being one of
the finest Greek and Latin scholars in
America. His most famous contribution
to contemporaneous literature, however.
is a little out of this line. He is the
author of that piscicultural epic, 1.-The
Lone Fishball."

A new magnetic telephone gives prom
Use or being largely used in England.
The invention consists of an arrange
ment for combining a telephone for do
nestle purposes with a crank bell pull,
such as is ordinarily met with in houses;
and the special merit in it lies in the fact
that it may be fitted without disturbing
any of the existing arrangements or re-
quiring a skilled workman to be sent to
fix it. Indeed, any man of ordinary in
telligence may fit it for himself without
trouble. Asimilar telephone being fitted,
say in the kitchen, a bell is used in the
usual way to call the servants attention,
and upon her taking up the telephone
the order is transmitted without render
ing it necessary for her to enter the
room. The telephones being magnetic
instruments no battery is required at all,
and the possibility Of future trouble and
cost of maintenance is avoided.-New

The mount Of mental suffering igno-
rant people undergo from the fear OF i'll
omens being fulfilled is inconceivable to
persons of well balanced minds said a
well Known physician.
This doctor spent two years at one of
the charity hospitals on Wards Island,
and while there had an excellent p
tunity for observing many p~eculiarities
and various phases of humanity among
the outcasts of a great city. Continu-
ing nfter n short reverie the doctor said
''Of course superstitions have existed
and will exist as long as there remains u
belief in the mysteries of future life. 1t
is seldom admitted by persons of intelli-
gouce that they are, to II greater or less
degree, at all subject to the uneasy feel,
ing an ~uncanny event will produce. But
It is really an exceptional thing b. find n
person who has no superstitions what
ever. Generally the yrvsentiments are
SO unimportant that they are but sci
dom alluded to by the one experiencing
them, and are soon forgotten. But that
they do exist in nearly every mind is
