CatsUps are much more wholesome
than pickles, besides being of more gen.
eral use in cooking. Soups, sauces,
gravies and many other dishes are greatly
improved by the addition of different
catsups as favoring, while fish, steaks,
chops and cold meats are all rendered
more acceptable by being served with
suitable catsups.
The vegetables used for catsups should
be fresh and perfect, but may be used
when more thoroughly ripe than for
pickles.; if vinegar is added, it must be
the best cider vinegar, or the catsup will
not be delicate in flavor. Care must be
taken in selecting the spices, as nothing
adds more to the perfection of catsups
than a proper mingling of favoring.
Ground spices, particularly cinnamon and
mace, are so often adulterated and i'm
pure that it is best to prepare them at
home, or use the extracts put up by some
reliable firm.
1t is best to boil catsups in a porcelain
lined kettle, as it is very difficult to pre-
vent an unpleasant taste being impaired
when made in brass kettle. Catsups
keep best in glass bottles, we'll sealed

Mystical Music,

It is pretty generally known that in
the Pascagoula river, near Scranton,
Miss, strange sounds are frequently
heard as of musical instrument played
at a distance under the water. Boating
parties are often startled at the distinct
ness of the music. They liken it to the
sounds produced by the vibration of mu-
sical glasses or of harpstrings. The
sound rises and falls as if waited by the
wind, and is locally known as ''the mys.
terious music" The origin of the sound
is generally ascribed to a movement Of
sand at the bottom of the river, although
there is no evidence offered that the
sand does move or any reason given why
it should move.
The explanation, doubtless, rests upon
the fact that such phenomenon as
singing or barking sand is known to ex-
ist in several parts of the world. It is
not likely that wet sand would produce
the sounds mentioned. It is more prob
able that fish make these noises, for
fish can sing very nicely, too. It seems
rather funny to speak of singing fish,
but many of them do certainly produce
vocal sounds. Croakers get their names
from the noise they make. Bluefish
protest Indignantly when they are pulled
out of the water, but these are not such
sounds as constitute the music of the
fish--Mobile (Ala) Register.

house week from Monday night, ap-
pears in every way to be entitled to a
respectful hearing, not alone because it

in its ranks the names OF many we'll
known comic opera favorites. The new
work which they are to present is, ac-
cording to judicious observers, an ex-
tremely favorable specimen of the talent
of the native composer. Its subject
which deals with an old Spanish legend
of the thirteenth century, is not only
picturesque and interesting, but has
been SO treated as to afford an oppor-
tunity for the humor and fun which are
necessary and important features to the
success Of works OF this description. As

GIBSON'S SLICK WORK.
THE SHERIFF BREAKS UP A GANG
OF ROBBERS.
The Last of the Gang Placed in Jail and
Their Plunder Recovered-Some Excel
lent Detective Work.

Sheriff Gibson has made ten-strike
which should gain him great credit as a
pursuer OF evil doers and as an able Off
Ger, for aided by the well-directed ef-
forts OF Deputy Sheriff Russell, he has
succeeded in breaking up one Of the
worst gangs of robbers ever located in
this city; and SO completely has he
worked the case that today the three
who have been concerned in the many
burglaries of late in this city, and in the
robbery OF Southern Pacific freight cars,
will probably plead guilty to the charges
against them. In brief the story is as
follows:
+ Several burglaries, evidently commit
ted by the same man, came to the atten-
ton OF the police early in January.
Among others was the entering of the
house Of Mr.. Salisbury, at 1902 Grand
avenue, and the theft of two sets of har-
ness and two lap robes. Later ON sew
eral freight cars of the Southern Pacific
company were broken into and valuable
booty secured. Sheriff Gibson and Dep
uty Russell yesterday succeeded in end
ing the career of the thieves by arresting
H. F. Parkins, the keeper of the Three
Mile house, ON the San Fernando road,
and his aids, Ralph Murphy and John
Wilson, and all their booty was found.
Parkins, it seems. entered into part
nership with Murphy and Wilson; the
latter were to do the stealing, and with
the articles they took Parkins proposed
to start store. Wilson and
Murphy would break into the cars in
this city, and as the train passed by
Parkins' house they would throw out
bundles of stuff, and leaving the train
at Tropico would walk back.
The last one they burglarized this way
yielded seven bolts Of silk, case OF rib
bons and three boxes of children's shoes
which they threw out of the car on the
night OF the Sd instant.
Parkins hid this stuff, and part of il
was seen by some Italians, who reported
it to the railroad company, and the
articles they saw were recovered. This
frightened Parkins, and he put some
more OF the stuff out, and notified the
police, who went to the place and got
what he showed them.
Sheriff Gibson, however, got out a
search warrant, and going up there
found all that Parkins had secreted, and
arrested him. A search for his accom-
plices resulted in the captureof Murphy
on Los Angeles street, and Wilson was
found to be already prisoner in the
county Jail, as vagrant from Burbank.
The police in their attempt to run the
criminals down had arrested Murphy on
Sunday, but failed in their effort to con-
meet him with the crime. The sheriff
has got evidence in five charges against
Parkins, who is sharp enough to see, as
do the others, that the best thing to do
is to plead guilty.

The Latest Rat Story.

bold and daring attempt at robbery the
other night at her rooms on State street,

and the plumber which he nearly sue
ceeded in carrying away was the lady,
gold watch and chain Upon retiring
she placed the watch on dresser in the

Turning on the light he found the rat
dragging the watch toward hole near

Bret Harte,s Literarv seclusion.


Unlike many authors, Bret Harte
never does an ambitious piece of literary
work amid the din of the city. When
ever the plot of story gets thoroughly
crystallized in his mind he repairs to
quiet suburban retreat just outside of
London, and there he works. And in
this little nook the author is at present
hard at work upon new story of con-
siderable length. Only few of his
closest friends know the whereabouts of
his cave of seclusion, and even these he
has never asked to join him there. The
novelist works steadily when he is in Sc
clusion, and stops only for an hours
walk every day. When at work his diet
is a very frugal one; he retires early and
is up just after dawn, working often sew
eral hours before he has his morning
coffee, eggs and rolls. For two months
he will keep himself thus secluded, then,
returning to London, he places his manu-
script in the hands of his publisher and
considers his work done, for Bret Harte
hates proofreading. Edward w. Bok's
