First Arm0red Ship.

The first account we have OF an
armored ship is in 1880. 1t was one of
the fleet of the Knights of St. John,
entirely sheathed with lead. and
said to have successfully resisted
all the shot of that day. At the
siege of Gibraltar, in 1882, the French
and spaniards employed light iron
bomb-proofng over their decks. The first
practical use of wrought iron plates as
defense for the sides OF vessels was by
the French in the Crimean war in 1853,
to be used against the Russian forts in
the Baltic.-Chicago Herald.

taste, white of one egg, or three table
spoons cream. Cream the butter. add

Young chicken; make stuflng of one

about the consistency Of thin starch. Do
not allow the sauce to boil hard; let it
just come up to the boiling point and
remain long enough to cook the flour so
as to destroy the raw taste. Add the
lemon last. Any otter faroring may be
used if preferred.

YOU will see him here in as many differ
ent occupations as are possessed by his
brother fellow in the land of Egypt.
He carries the heavy burdens of the
country upon his back. He lugs about
Mexican beer in pig skins as the Ben.
ealce water carrier carries the water he
has for sale, and you see him IN hun.
dred different forms on every street and
in every one he is new picture.
The women are as strange as the men,
though their plumage is less gay. Those
of the wealthier classes are dressed in
black, and the crowd at one Ct the
cathedrals looks as though plague had
struck the town and all the women were
in mourning. In these interior cities of
Mexico the better class women wear no
hats and their heads are either bare or
covered with a black shawl, out, of
which their olive.complexioned faces
shine and their dark lustrous eyes look
at you with a strange wonder. There is
10 greater beautifer than black, and I
believe these Mexican and Spanish
women get great part of their reputa-
ton for beauty from the clothes they
wear. At first sight they appear hand
some, but close examination results in
the discovery that the most of them are
rather homely than otherwise and that
many arc decidedly ugly. The Indian
women are much prettier than their
wealthier sisters. They have striking
beauty when under age, but after thirty
grow old rapidly, and hard work and
poor food make them wrinkled and old
at thirty five. They arc more pictur-
esque than the higher classes, and their
dress takes you again back to the east.
They often wear dark blue cottons and
about their heads they drape cotton
shawl or reboso, so that only the upper
half of the face shows. Some OF them
wear bright red shirts and white waists
and many of them so barefooted. The
children of the Aztecs are more or less
naked, generally more in the back dis
tricts. The clothes of all are as rule
cleanlier than those of other peoples In
the same condition of poverty, and the
self respect which they possessed (when
under Montezuma they were the most
civilized people on this continent)
clings to them still, and many students
of Mexican questions believe tney are
a people with future.

WHY THE GILT ON CHINA SHOULD BE
WASHED WITH WARM WATER.

WHY THE GILT ON CHINA SHOULD BE
WASHED WITH WARM WATER.
"There, that's the third complaint OF
the sort I have had this week." said a
manufacturer of fine china, as he turned
from the door through which a customer
had Just passed. ''The third complaint
this week, and I tell you it's getting
monotonous. Of course, I admit the
truth of the complaint, but none the less
it is unjust to me, and to all other manu-
facturers. OF course, tbe gilt Yashhssss hsss
of. It's bound to, Considering the way
it's treated. The lady who just went
out told me, in answer to my state
ments, that only the finest soap
was used for washing her china,
and yet the guilt all came off. When I
told her that many OF the so-called finest
soaps contained chemicals that would eat
the coating off from cast-iron door
post, she opened her eyes in mild sur
prise, and said the soap she used wasn't
that kind. She always bought the very
best sort she could get. 1t seems i'm
possible to make the average woman un-
derstand that the most expensive and
oftentimes most attractive looking soaps
are the most dangerous. They are
bleached and 'processed' with chemicals,
until they are positively unfit for use.
Besides this, they use soap powders and
dirt killers and easy washing compounds,
and put anti-grease preparations in the
water in which china is washed, and
when the gilt all comes of, there is a
loud and angry growl at the worthless
ness of the goods and the general degen-
eracy of trades and manufacturers, and
wailings because things are not as good
as they used to be.
"If housekecpers would use home
made or pure, old-fashioned soap, and
very little of that, they would find that
the gilt on old-fashioned china was no
better than that which is used nova
days.
stIndeed, it would be much better to
use no soap at all for the finest pieces,
and this is quite possible if the water is
moderately hot and the china is washed
and dried quickly. The gilt on china
that is washed without soap will last for
years and be as bright as when new.
But this involves great deal Of pains
taking, and more trouble than the aver
age housekeeper is willing to take"
So the advice and warnings of the
manufacturer 60 for naught, and the gilt
on the china goes the same way.-Ihs

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
rH1s WILL, KEEP DOWN CHOKING DUST.

THIS WILL KEEP DOWN CHOKING DUST.
"Mother often tells Aunt Hetty," SAID
housekeeping miss the other DAY, "to
dip the end of the broom in pail of
water in which she has poured little
ammona-a teaspoonful to q gallon.
The ammonia takes off the dust and re-
freshes the colors wonderfully. We
couldn't keep house without it,"
ga little coarse salt or some damp tea
leaves strewed over carpet before
sweeping adds ease to the cleansing pro-
cess" said Mrs. Downing, appearing on
the scene and praising the girl for her
thorouohness. 1.-THE reason is that both
the salt and tea leaves, being moist,
keep down the light, floating dust, which
gives more trouble than the heavier. In
sweeping take long light strokes, aud
do not use too heavy broom"
But avoid the use of tea leaves on del
icatc colors, as they will surely stain
light carpets.-Mu York journal.

The Cost Of Wild Beasts.

The wild beast business seems to be
very active. Carl Hagenbeck of the
London Crystal Palace has, during the
past year, disposed of 741 lions, over 7oo
tigers, and $50 elephants and panthers.
$45OO was paid for female hippopota-
mus, $4,000 for rhinoceros, and $1,000
for a tapir. Lions vary in price from
5000 to $4,000. A tiger fetches $1,000
and q white bear only $300.-Ne~ York

cures. If you believe it, so

You get it for 50 cents, from

But perhaps you won't be-

reason for trying it. Show
that you can't be cured, and
you'll get $500. It's a plain
business offer. The makers
of DR.. Sage's Remedy will
paw you that amount if they
can't cure you. They know
