A Touching Incident.

The following, which appeared in
detroit paper, is one of the most
touching incidents to be met with.
There is a family in this city who
are dependent upon a little child for
the present sunshine of themselves.
A few weeks ago the young wife and
mother was stricken down to die. 1t
was 81 sudden, so dreadful, when the
grave family physician called them %
gethe: in the parlor, and in his pro
fessional way minated to them the
trutli-there was ne help.
Then came the question among
them who would tell her. Not the
doctor! 1t would be cruel to let the
man of science go to their dear OF oh
such al errard. Not the aged mother,
who was to be left childless and alone.
Not the young husband who was walk
ing the floor with clenched handsand re-
bellions heart. Nnt-there was only
one other, and at this moment he
looked up from the book he had been
playing with, unnoticed by them all,
and asked graveIy;
''IS III dom to die 2"
Then. without waiting for an an
swer, he sped from the room and up
stairs as fast as his little feet would
carry him. Friends and ~neighhu,s
were watching 10y the sick woman.
They wonderingly noticed the pale. face
OF the child rs lie climbed on the bed
and laid his small hand on his moth
er's pillow.
"Mamma," he asked, in sweet car
ressing tones, SIS YOU frail to die p

intelligence. Perhaps she had been

Tedious and Arduous Journey to the Top
of Mexico's Mountain.

of Mexico's Mountain.
c. h Webb has just returned from a
fou: months outing in the wilds of Mexico
and the Central American States. He
visited the city of the Montezumas and
pointed for the lofty peak above.
''The train drops one at the station of
Popocatapetl," said he to Fort Worth
Gazette reporter, "where you get guide
and burros, blankets and provisions. Then
you trail to the base of the volcano and up
its steep zig-zags, where the timber and
vegetation are thick, and cool, bubbling
springs numerous, until the timber line is
passed. You travel miles to advance one.
When we reached that line the snow came
down to meet the stunted trees. Then we
camped and the guide shot mountain goat
and we heard the Mexican lions in the dark.
Next morning the burros were left behind,
and with blankets and provisions we packed
on. A binding snowstorm obliged another
camp and the next morning We pointed for
the great crater.
reached. 1t is probably 250 feet across and
500 feet deep, with bottom pierced with
tunnels like a gigantic sponge. Outside
was all snow and Zee. Ten steps inside and
all frost vanishes; the thermometer leaps 20
degrees. At the ragged lips of this chin

"Across the crater and 800 feet above
rises the lone spur. 1t is covered with
snow and ice. 1t took us an hour and a
half to make the perilous ascent, but we
made the trip and stood on the highest icy
spur.
'Then for the descent, which we found
more hazardous than the ascent. Darkness
and fearful snowstorm caught us 1,500
feet below. We had to camp in the snow,
but the next morning made quick trip to
the timber line, where we found our burros,
and soon reached the base, where we could
look back and see that icy peak reaching
into naked sky"

MORE THAN SENTIMENT DICTATES
CLEANLINESS IN THE KITCHEN.

Jules Goufre's Idea About n-Prudent
Housekeepers VIII Inspect Their 6ten-
sils Every Day-virtues Of the Wooden
Spoon.
WRITTEN FOB THE DIsPATCH.l
"Cleanliness," as the text has it, is next
to Godliness," and the word cleanliness, I"
says Jules Gouffe, a high authority in mat
ters of the cuisine and one whose language
is often quoted by literary people, "should
be craven in capital letters over the door of
all kitchens, large or small" He would
thus, as it were, give it as profound q sig-
nifcance as the famous line which the
genius of Dante saw blazoned on the arch
as that sentiment which the skeptic philoso-
pliers at the epoch of the French Revolution
wanted to have engraved over the entrance
to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise near
Paris; or as that talismanic word which had
to be pronounced before the door swung
open to the cave of Ali Baba in the Arabian
Nights.
There are many more cook books pub
Hshed in the United States than in any 9TH
er country, yet it is generally admitted that
the best authorities on the subject are
French. In the language of Uncle Toby,
'They do these things better in France" It
is, therefore, uOLIluK IcLldThdDlc BuCn
an excellent master should make such re-
mark, seeing how natural it would be, but
you see how he insists upon it. And the ad-
vantage of cleanliness from business point
of view, in the Office of those who cater to
the appetite, has by none been more highly
appreciated than by the French. In this
art they are, it would seem, very justly
noted as being judieious as well as refined
practical as well as @sthetical.
No Mustaches for Walters.
An instances is at hand. At this time
there is great comnssron In Paris over the
demand Of the respectable body of walters
for the privilege of wearing mustaches.
While the innovation of boards was toler-
ated in the laity in the time of the empire,
and subsequently in the learned professions,
table walters have been unto this time de-
barred Of this privilege, The reason seems
to be that public sentiment or taste does not
approve of the change in the fear that an
offense might be committed againat the ac-
cepted proprieties-alli in the name of clean
illness. The same rule obtains across the
channel, but somewhat mitigated; men ser
wants in England in private families, by an
unwritten law, are clean shaved, but the
rule is relaxed as to those who are employed
in public houses.
But particularly should the word "clean-

at whom you would be amused if you knew
of her penuriousness. She does everything

signs of pink chrysanthemums and foliage,
and had sleeve Innings of plain pink benga-
line, while the lining of the second was an
exquisite white brocade, barred with silver
and trailing patterns Of small flowers in
bois de rose corded silk. The buttons on
both jackets were large and made of onyx
set in prettily twisted border of gold and
oxidized silver.

A pique dress looks so immaculate that one

Now, you know how you have worn a white

not attract thu dust like cloth, or hold it,
and the only suggestion about it is, that you
insist on your skirt being in straight folds,

advised as most delightful walking toilette
