afterward a writer in The World recon-
mends the following:
Have your druggist mix for you OF.
tr. orris; tr. benzoin, 10 drops oil of
neroii and 10 drops oil of lemon. To use
this perfume add tablespoonful of it to
about pint of warm water. 1t will turn
as white as milk and the real perfume will
be given off, whereas while in the bottle it
has anything but pleasing odor. Now,
after your bath just take a soft cloth and
go over yourself with this milk, dry thor
oughly and you will smell like bunch Of
violets. The perfume may be altered tc
suit you, or you may add any handkerchief
extract, but don't omit the benzoin, fol
that is what gives permanence to the per
fume and softness and smoothness to tn,
skin.

DR.. Charles E. Ellis, health officer Of
this city, is a capable official and is
looking after the health Of the city
with tender solicitude. But any pub
lie officer, in order to discharge his
duties faithfully and as conscien-
tiously as he could wish, needs not
only the active support of the proper
authorities, but the community as
well. The fact is, the average munic-
ipal body is prone to laxity, and does
not render the moral, as well as legal
support necessary TO insure the en-
forcement Of ordinances OF their own
making. Some laws are placed upon
statute books, and passed by city coun-
ellis, for the sake Of appearances only
and not that they should be enforced
Better not pass them at all, and be
more consistent.

Mourning Garb In China.

White in a general way the color
of mourning in China, sons, burning
the first three days, wearing the
tunic wrong side out, and on one
side of the body only. After that
time they wear, like other mourners,
garments of unbleached hempen
cloth, except on the seventh day,
when they and their wives wear sack
cloth tunics, usually hired from q
shop where collins are sold. The
sons do not shave their heads for
100 days, and they wear mourning
for twenty-seyen months, during
which time they cannot marry.
Daughters and daughters in-law put
off mourning at the end of one year,
when they resume their golden head
ornaments and don some bit of red.
The burial of the encoffined body
is sometimes deferred for many
years, awaiting the death of spouse
or the favorable decision OF geo.
mancer concerning the site for
tomb. As the prosperity of every
mans descendants is thought TO DE-
pend upon his being laid in q spot
having such relationship to wind and
water IS will afford him undisturbeG
repose, the selection of place Of in
terment is sometimes difficult, and
there are men who make their living
by searching up good places for
graves.
The grave being prepared, friends
are informed of the burial, and they
assemble at the appointed time to
follow the coffin to the hills. The
coffin is covered with a red pail.
Two lanterns are tied together with
red cord, and arranged to hang one
on either side of the coffin.

The Chicago Hotel Thief,

The Chicago hotel thief is a man
of nerve. One day last week when
an Illinois politician was sitting on
his overcoat IN one of the plush-coy-
cred chairs at the Grand Pacific, dis
cussing the Senatorial outlook with
an acquaintance, the polite thief step
ped up to the guest, and, tapping
him gently on the shoulder, said.
"You are sitting on my overcoat,
sir"
"Oh, / beg your PARDON" replied
the guest as he lifted himself from
the garment, and continuing the dis
cussion, let the fellow walk off with
a $50 ulster. The guest told his ex
perience to Sam" Parker, who ex-
tended that consolation
ooh, that's nothing. You 60
back to the same chair and the thief
will come back and steal your
shoes.p
Last Monday the thief of nerve
entered the writing-room of the Pal
mer House. A man was sitting at
the desk busily engaged in writing.
His new silk hat was on the table
not two inches from his elbow. The
thief wore black derby without
lining or sweatband. When he de-
parted he wore the guests IS silk,
leaving the worn-out derby behind.
But the man OF nerve was not salts
fed with that. He paid Palmer
House messenger boy Is cents 10
carry this note to the victim:
"0h, where did you get that hat Z"
This was the first intimation the
guest had of his loss.
Not long ago guest was taking a
nap in one Of the easy chairs in the
rotunda Of the fremont House. The
thief stepped up to him, removed
his hat from his head and left an old
SLOUGH in its place.-Journdi.

LENTEN EATABLES.

Celery soup-Boil q few stalks Of
celery in pint of saited water.
When soft rub through sieve, let
ting the water run through also.
Add quart of milk and half a tea
spoonful of onion juice and season
with pepper and salt, and bring to the
boiling point. Thicker with a tea
spoonful of -four rubbed smooth with
a tablespoonful of butter.
Fish Soup-Boil pound of fresh
cod or paddock in a quart of sailed
boiling water, with a small onion I'M
til it is all to pieces. Rub it through
a seiye, add a quart of milk, a tea
spoonful of butter, pepper aud salt
to taste, and little finely cut parse
ly. Return it to the fire, boil it up
again and serve. Skim milk will
answer very well for all vegetable or
fish soup.
Green pea soup-Pour off the Ii
quor from can OF green peas of the
inferior grade, usually sold for ten
cents can. Cook them in quart
of salt boiling water until they are
reduced to pulp. Run them, liquor
and all through seiTe. Add
enough boiling water to make two
quarts Of the soup, a tablespoonful
Of butter and one of chopped parsley
pepper and salt to taste; cook few
minutes longer and serve.
A Cheap Oyster Soup-When you
cook fried oysters save the liquor
when you drain them. Scald it and
set it away until the next day.
When you are ready to use it bring
it to the boiling point, add an equal
quantity of milk, butter, pepper and
salt, boil up and thicken slightly
with -four. 1t is not, of course, 50
good as soup made of oysters and
liquor both, but it does very well as
a prelude to something more sub
stantial.
Tomato soup-To a quart can Of
tomatoes add quart of hot water,
heaping teaspoonful of salt, sliced
onion and three cloves. Stew gent
ly in an earthen pot at least two
hours. Rub through a soup strain
er, add more salt if needed and lit
tie pepper. Return the strained Ii
quid to the fire with two tablespoon
fuls of rice and cook slowly two
hours longer. Twenty minutes be
fore serving add tablespoonful Of
chopped parsley. Serve with
squares OF toasted bread. For a
mock bisque soup stew the tomatoes
without any water. After straining
add the butter and a quarter of tea
spoonful of soda. Boil up and
thicken with teaspoonful Of -four
or corn starch. Just before serving
add pint and half of boiling milk.
Mix well and pour into the tureen.

Eugene f. Stevens and George ..

intend now to extend their trip
around the world. No strict itener-
airy has been laid out, but the bicycle
tour proper will begin at Cork
and extend through Ireland. Wales,
England, France, Switzerland. the
Tyrol Turkey, Greece, Asia Minor
and Palestine to Egypt. From this
point their plans are purposely left
indefinite but the tour will probably
include also India, Ceylon and Aus.

more altogether. The young men
will be pro~ided with Kodac cam

As TO EAsTER-WHEN 1T Is AN
EARLY FEsTIvAL.-The fact that
Easter falls on a very early date
this year March 29) has caused
"friend OF faces and figures" to col.
lect some curious statistics, says the
Pail Mall Gazette. SIN 1883 Easter
fell on March 25th, and it will only
once again this century, namely, in
1894, fall on so early date. In the
three following centuries it will &C.
cur only eight times on the same
date-nsmely, in 1851, 20S5, 2046,
2O58, 2l03, 2l14, 1925 and 2l9S. The
earliest date on which Easter can
fall is on March 22d, and this only
in case the moon is tull on March
2lst, when this date happens to fall
on Saturday. This combination of
circumstances is extremely rare; it
occurred in 1890, 1861 and ls47, and
will happen again in 1890, 2076 and
2l44, while during the three follow
ing centuries it is not once on the,
books at this early date. On the
other hand, Easter never falls later
than April IS; this was the case in
1865, 1874 and 1886, and will only
happen once in the next century
namely, in l943.'

Well Put.

An exchange says: Many people
think newspaper men are. persistent
DINNERS. BY way of comparison let
us suppose that farmer raises 1000
bushels of wheat year and sells
this out to 1000 different persons in
al parts of the country, great
many of them saying: II will hand
YOU the dollar in short time The
farmer doesn't want to appear small
and says all right. Soon the wheat
is gone but he has nothing to show
for it, and he then realizes that he
has fritted away his whole crop, and
that it is due him in thousand lit
tie driblets, consequently he is seri-
ousiy injured in his business because
his debtors, each owing him a dollar
treat it as a small matter, and think
it would not help much. Continue
this business year in and year out as
the publiser does, how long would he
stand it? A moments thought will
convince any one that publisher
has cause for persistent dunning.

Bend your knees at worry's shrine
In intense devotion;
Set the house, from cellar to

Cram the engine, get up steam,
Set the wheels a-humming,
Make them whirl, and whir, and whiz,

Set the atoms flying;
Scold the children, rout the cat
In the corner lying.

Leave no object in the house
In condition normal,
Make the very cradle look
Prim, and stiff, and formal.
At the oven scorch your face,
Have the stove just sbooming.'

Cram the engine, keep up steam;
Keep the wheels a-humming;

Labor till nervous pulse
In your head is drumming,
Till you ache from head to loot;
Company is coming!o
When your guests arrire, it will
Make their pleasure double,
TO perceive you've put yourself
TO world Of trouble.
Then, although you feel you've done
More than you were able,
Fail not to apologize
For your house and table,
This is hospitality
That the wheels be humming,
Rest and comfort banlshed, when
