who Shirley Dare Is.

Very few people know much as to this
identity of Shirley Dare, although she
has been for years a well known newspa-
per correspondent. Indeed, many go 30
far as to assert that Shirley Dare is a
man, and that not one word that has
been sent over the Shirley Dare sigma
ture has ever been written by woman.
But the real truth is that Shirley Dare is
certain Miss Powers, who lives part of
the year in New York and the rest of the
year in q country place adjacent to the
city.
She is slender woman, in rather del
icate health, and moves about 80 quietly
that it is hardly possible ever to corner
her for an interview. She is blond
and has been extremely pretty. But the
delicate health to which she has been a
victim of late years has caused the pref
tiness in her features to fade into a
sweetness which, though sad, when one
contemplates the cause, is scarcely less
pretty to behold.-New York Letter.

A Cheap Refrigerator.

The following will be found good
way to make good and cheap refriger-
ator: Take two large wooden boxes
small dry goods boxes are the best. Let
the smaller one be two inches smaller on
all sides, and bore two 1-inch holes in
both the boxes correspondingly, to give
drainage and ventilation. Fill up the
space under the bottom of the inner box
to the depth of two inches with pow
dered charcoal or coal ashes. Put the
inner box in place and fill up the spaces
all around the sides with the same. Fit
on the lids to both boxes, to fit tightly,
with stout leather hinges.
Put shelves on each side Of the inner
box by means of cleats. Leave place
in the center for the ice. This is o
rough refrigerator, but it will keep ice.
Make rack of lathing and place 1t In
the bottom for the ice to rest on. Legs
must be added to the outer box by put
ting small blocks Of wood at each corner,
and the drainage and ventilation will be
good. saw a refrigerator made as
above described, and it kept the ice as

Blackballing is supposed

stead of one. Blackballing is supposed
to be enveloped in utter secrecy. But
little red tongues love to whisper it, and
from rosy lips the unpleasant story leaps
until 1t is blown to the couriers of the
air.
Within twenty-four hours of recent
blackballing in a woman's club of this
town the fact was known in every news
paper Office in New York. But the wo-
man who was blackballed was not one to
lightly submit to such treatment. There
was q lively and interesting correspond
ence between the board Of governors
and her lawyer. The result was that .
sort Of investigation was held, at which
IL was established that the charges upor
which this woman had been 30 carelessly
blsckballed rested solely upon the testi-
mony of an insane woman. This Is but
one illustration Of what mischief may be
done by careless and wholesale use Of
black balls. Many clubs are doing away
with practice which smacks so strongly
Of odium and disgrace.-New York Ad-
vertiser.

The reckless blackballing done in wo-
mems clubs is simply amazing. Women
do not seem to properly estimate the
mischief which may be done by too care
less handling of those wretched little
instruments of revenge or mercilessness.
In a mans club, il there is an objection
to a proposed name, an intimation is
given to that effect, and the name Is
quietly withdrawn. But woman, lovely
woman, with glitter in her eye, plunges
her white hand into the box, and with
ghoulish glee selects that little damning
black ball which is to disgrace some
other woman, her sole regret being that
she cannot put in half dozen balls in

trouble, went to the spot to scatter the
bystanders.
The young women waited q bit, look
ing curiously at the crowd, and then
fled quietly down into an all night res
taurant where the usual visitor eats
"beef and BEANS" They seated them
selves and beckoned to waiter, and
while the crowd of customers dropped
their knives and forks in wonder, the
young women quietly ordered coffee and
huckleberry pie, all orders being just
alike.
The walters in the place spoke in
lower tones than have been heard there
before for several years, and the man be-
hind the counter who responds to the
call of "Draw one" smoothed out his
apron and rolled down his sleeves. The
odor from the roses mingled with the
fumes from the beef and beans. A halo
seemed to hang about the restaurant.
The girls ate their luncheon as they
might have eaten it on the verandah Of
a summer hotel, and when the last piece
of pie had disappeared the cashier Of the
party paid the bill. They filed out and
quietly formed the procession for car.

to small stomachs and what games to
play? No dancing allowed. The chill

Of them, and the party will be before
shutdown"
Almost any dainties suitable for the
season would be suitable for this party.
1t is not necessary to have very heavy
dishes. Rolled sandwiches, cakes, abun-
dance of sweets, fruits and ice cream
should be included in the menu. Lemon
AIDE and currant, shrub or raspberry
shrub will no doubt be acceptable to the
young guests. A little basket of sweets
given as favor at each plate is pretty
and graceful thing. The baskets can be
homemade of pasteboard and ornament
ed in some dainty way with tissue and
gilt paper.
There is nothing especially new in
games. Twenty Questions" Earth,
Air and Water" Gossip" and other
old games are still acceptable to young
folks. A play which creates consider
able interest now and tests the memory
requires that waiter Of articles should
be put in q room set apart by itself.
This waiter should contain at least
twenty-five articles Of different kinds-a
spool Of thread, tape measure, book,
an ink bottle, q spoon. or anything else
the hostess may fancy. One by one the
little guests are led into the room and
given glance at the waiter. Soon after
they are given pen and paper on which
to write down what they have seen on
the waiter. Then the waiter is brought
out and its actual contents are noted

One View of the Servant Question.


A pretty wide acquaintance with the
servant question" has shown me ten
cases of overneglect of the servants
comfort and happiness to one of too great
attention. There is my really charming
friend, Mrs. -, who is devoted to all
sorts Of homes and societies for amelio-
rating all sorts of ills, yet does not seem
to have the faintest conception that
golden rules have any reference what
ever to servants. Happening to speak
to her one day Of the deplorable fact that
average houses Mt present provide no
pleasant place for girl servants to spend
their evenings and receive their CON-
pany, she declared coolly that she did
not bother her head about her maids;
when their work was done they could
go where they pleased and do what they
liked; she did not consider herself re-
sponsible for such an ungrateful set, for
no servant stopped moment in one
place when she could get higher wages
in another.
But would it not be interesting to
inquire in how great degree such neglect
in a private home necessitates some
body's care in public one? The reports
of a certain New York hospital show
that the vast majority of patients are
domestics, many or them young, whose
i'll health is, beyond doubt, almost wholly
due to their ignorance Of how to take
care of themselves and balance justly
their toll and play. Women who cheer
fully teach in Sunday school frankly
avow they do not and will not teach the
girls who come into their kitchens; that
when they hire laborers they expect them
to have passed beyond the need Of teach
ing. Or, others confess, without blush,
that they themselves know nothing at all
of the work to be done (professedly) under
their northumberland House
keeping.

The woman who has only one dia-
mond tiara is in just as deplorable cir
cumstances as the woman who has been
abroad only once and cannot speak of
the first time or the third time she
sailed. For the latest fancy is to wear
one tiara above the other at all impor-
tant affairs in a height of dazzling
splendor that makes the women with
only one coronet steal away under the
ferns and palms to hide in despair.

Some recent unique floral decorations
were, one at dinner where mantel-
piece was banked solidly with pink
sweet peas, another at ball where huge
balls Of bronze and black orchids were
suspended from the chandeliers in an
amber hung ballroom, and another at a
dinner where the cloth was covered with
pink roses, being practically hidden
beneath the closely laid blooms.

Subscribed or superscribed.

Many are the pitfalls which lie in the
path of the man who sits down to make
his will. In a case recently tried in the
probate court the witnesses were stated
in the usual words to have ''hereunto
subscribed their names," but it thappened
that these witnesses signatures were
written in the margin and somewhat
higher than these attesting words.
Hence arose the grave question, Could a
signature be said to be subscribed when,
strictly speaking, it was superscribed?
1t is easy to conceive a judge of rigidly
logical tendencies who would have de-
cided that there had been in this case no
proper attestation.
Fortunately Sir G. Parker Butt, forti-
fed by decision of Lord Campbell, de-
cided that, though it might seem a
strange Interpretation to put upon the
word subscribe" to hold that writing
the witnesses names above the testator's
signature in the margins was COM
pliance with the act, yet in the eye of
the law the word subscribe" 'ssimply
means signing the name without any
reference to its position on the docu-
ment. London News.

A Faithful Love.

They relate to us from Bouiogne sur
Mer. in France, remarkable incident
of fidelity. A Danish princess, one of
those fairy beauties of the north who
seem to draw their peculiar charm from
the melancholic splendor of their climate
one of those Ophe.ias, with hmpid eyes
as the BLUSH crystal of the scandinavian
lakes, had friend, faithful, devoted,
loving, patient, whom she has deserted
in a moment of forgetfulness. Leaving
suddenly, when ascending the outside
bridge to the steamer, she forgot her
friend, the most faithful companion of
her youth, splendid black dog, with
beautiful dark shining hair; from that
time the poor animal, standing erect
over the fences of the mole, barks furi-
ously after the waves, jumping joyously
as soon as can be perceived afar the
smoking shaft of steamer, which he
always thinks will bring back ashore his
beloved owner.
He is always waiting, hopeful and
above all true and faithful, though con-
solated and petted by the gloved hand of
the beautiful and romantic English
misses who gave him sweet names, call
ing him "Oh, you dear, faithful friend
Sweet boy" And over there, afar, afar
in the north, the fairy Scandinavian
feels some inexplcable want. Some
thing is missing to her; she does not
know what it is; it is the unconscious
regret of the faithful companion desert
ed afar Baltimore American.

Boston's Fast Speaking Preacher.

Two hundred and forty words min
ute, four words every second, is rate of
speed which seems almost beyond the
power of articulation, yet that was the
measure of the torrent of eloquent ex-
position and appeal poured forth in St.
Paul's church Monday by the Rev. Dr.
Phillips Brooks. Try to equal it read
ing from a printed page in conversa-
tional tone, and then imagine the i'm
mensely increased difficulty of the task
in large church, before a great congre-
cation, and without the guidance even
of written note. The business men,
for whom the service was especially de-
signed, had been assured that the dis
course would be short, and SO it was in
time, for it was finished in twenty-five
minutes, but the report made by two
stenographic reporters covered 5000
words and gave the extraordinary aver

KIlled bx a captive RattlesnaI.e.

Alfred DUO, Frenchman who has
been living in small cabin on the
Schnell ranch, two miles north of Tia
Juana, had a sort of fascination for
snakes, and the reptiles appeared to real
ize that he was their especial friend.
Neighbors tell that within the past few
months he has never been known to be
without one or more snakes in the cabin.
Blacksnakes and copperheads made their
home under his house, and he would
stop on the field to caress snake of any
kind.
For about week he has had large
rattler in the house, but as the reptile
was not of the trustworthy family Due
made for it housing place in an empty
oil can. Since then he has been hand
ling the snake at odd times, endeavoring
to tame it into docility.
Sunday afternoon he had the snake
out as usual, displaying it to a young
man named Cresswell. He had it lying
on his lap, his right hand closed loosely
around the body just back of the head.
1t writhed about and finally freed its
head. Then the reptile formed itself
into curl and like flash of lightning
buried its deadly fangs in the flesh of
Dues right hand. He appeared to think
little about the matter and did not even
bandage the wound. On Tuesday G. N.
Flattery, Of the San Diego Undertaking
company, received telephone message
from Tia Juana saying, "Bring coffin
giving size) and come at once" The
coffin was for Due, and he died in hor-
rible agony from the bite of the snake.

Novel Bird Story.

When Mr.. Andrew Young returned
from Alaska last fall he went out to his
ranch on Young's river to dig his pota-
toes. Passing hollow tree he noticed
several bushels already gathered. He
looked around the patch, but saw nc
signs of anyone having disturbed the
ground, and to solve the mystery watched
the tree. He was soon rewarded by see
ing flock of bluejays alight on the tree,
and each bird had potato in its bill,
which was dropped into an opening in a
limb and passed on down to the ground.
He procured sacks, and as fast as one
was filed another was put at the place,
and in this way the birds harvested fifty
bushels of potatoes for him from various
patches around the country.-Astoria
