The Concert at St. Paul's Chapel
 Last Night.

The entertainment last night given in St. Pauls parish house, the program of which was given in the COURIER of yester- day, was very successful. The chapel was very we'll filled and receipts were conse- quently large. It consisted of music and recitations by the Amphion society, assist ed by Mrs. Nora R. Haesche (soprano), Mr. MT. Edwin A. Macgregor GenoD, MT. William B. Haesche (violinist), and Miss Minnie Kay (elocutionisD.:.
 Among the most attractive articles on the program were Miss Kay's recitations. The young elocutionist, besides being per fectly natural and unembarassed, was overfowing with merriment which she could not repress, but largely inspired in the audience, whom she kept in a fit of laughter. The duet by Mr. and Mrs. Haesche, ''Ave Maria," was very beautiful, as was also MT. Macgregor's singing.

 The event of the day in the stock market was the bringing forward of the cod stocks again as prime favorites in the speculation, and the very marked gains scored by both Lackawanna and Reading, the old-time favorites, had 0 most fa- vorabfe influence upon the remainder of the list. The opening was strong and prices were one- eighth to one-half per cent. higher. One reason for this strength was the orders which came from out of town to buy stocks, and the pur- chasing of the Changers, Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Wheeling and Lake Erie, Lackawanna and Missouri Pacific, was excellent to-day. There was the usual manipu- Iation Of Cordage and its kindred shares, but the advances in the general list reached as high as two and three-fourths per cent. in some special ties, and Northern Pacific preferred again came to the front later in the day with a handsome advance.

HOW TO ROLL AN EGG.

"Isn't it strange, said a short, foreign
looking man the other day to some com
p%anions, while lunching together at one
Of the restaurants, ssthat not one cook in
fifty, nor housekeeper either, knows how
to boil an egg2 And yet most people
think they know this simple matter.
They will tell you to drop it into boiling
water and let it remain three minutes,
and to be sure the water is boiling. Here
is where the mistake is made. An egg
SO prepared is indigestible and hardly
ct for a well person, let alone one who is
sick, to eat. The moment it is plunged
into boiling water the white hardens and
toughens. To boil an egg properly, put
it in a vessel, cover with cold water,
place over the fire and the second the
water begins to boil your egg is done.
The white is as delicate as a jelly and as
easily digested and nutritious as it should
be. Try it."-Ohicago Tribune.

Remarkable Group of Mines.

A group of old Spanish or Aztec mines
has recently been discovered at Las
Placitas, about twenty miles from Al
buquerque, New Mexico. An extensive
system of underground work has been
brought to light. The mineral discov-
cred, while not of the highest grade, is
rich enough to pay handsomely and runs
generally from $50 to $50 to the ton.
But what is more interesting is the fact
that these explorations have developed
unmistakable evidences that the work on
these mines, which was performed, no
body knows how many centuries ago,
was brought to a summary conclusion by
an earthquake or general upheaval of
some sort. Not only all the mine work
ings, smelters, furnaces, etc., were
buried under some fifteen feet of earth,
but there has also been found on the
same level the ruins of what was once an
aqueduct for bringing water to the camp
from a ource about ten miles distant.
The camp of Las Plactias is GU the east
ern slope of the Scandal Mountains, about
twenty miles from Albuquerque, and
promises to become one of the most in
teresting fields of archaeological research
yet discovered in that country Chioaqo

Clever Mode of Detecting n Th;ee

Some years ago, in one Of the cavalry
barracks, a man complained that several
articles Of his kit had been stolen. The
Corporal of the room, finding that the
thief could not be discovered, got a large
tin mess dish and turned it upside down
on the floor with the barrack-room cat
underneath it. Then he ordered the gas
to be turned down, and requested each
man to touch the dish in turn, saving
that the cat would new when the thief
touched it. As a matter Of fact the cat
did not NEW, but the Corporal suddenly
cried, 81 have himi" and ordered the
gas to be turned up. Then he ordered
each man to show hands, and ali were
black except those of one man; for the
Corporal had, unknown to the men,
blackened the back of the dish before
putting it on the ground.
Needless to say that the one man who
had not cared to tempt the ordeal by
touch was the thief, and search among
his kit revealed the missing articles.
The man begged very hard to be dealt
with by a court-martial, and was
let off with two dozen lashes, admins
tered with a baggage strap. The Cor
poral is still in the service, and now
holds her Majesty's commission.-R.
