THE SALVATION ARMY has been in existence
just thirteen years. 1t had its origin in SEN
sational way in the English town Of Whitby,
in the rough coal-mining district of Yorkshire,
where Gen. Booth. at that time the Rev. Will
lam Booth, was doing humble mission work
England was then IN arms, expecting to jump
into the Russo Turkish war. 1t occurred to
Booth that he might attract a crowd by issuing
declaration of war himself, so he prepared
one forthwith. sprinkled it beautifully with
hallelujahs and posted 2, 900 copies OF it about
town. The device tickled the British sense of
humor, there was a ''red-hot. rousing meeting"
to quote Gen. Booth ''the penitents fell down
in heaps" and the Salvation Army fell into life
full grown.
THE DEAR GIRLS developed new fad, on the
sentimental order, and it is one that is being
warmly encouraged by those of their admirers
who have pendants for pretty neckties. The
most these youths have TO do to add choicely to
their necktie stock is to compliment judiciousiy
the dainty new crepe and silk gowns of their
fair friends. The pleased girls Immediately
carry quarter of yard Of the dress stuff to a

ones call him-and have made a scarf or tie,
patterned after the ones their admirers Gus
tomarily wear. They donate this tie which Is,
of course, different from that on the store coun-
tiers. stlpuating firmly, however, That 1t must
never be worn on the same occasion that the
dress is donned; that would be- to express it in
the girls own words, too great give-away
FRANK R. STOCKTON tells with great glee how
once, many years ago, he invented a dish and
got So for the invention. It was while he was
subeditor Of Hearth and Home, weekly paper
or which Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge was the edi-
tor. He had contributed to every department
save the household department. This put him
on his mettle. So be handed in a receipt OF his
own connecting. Mrs. Dodge accepted it and
paid for it at the current rates-S2 The dish is
called 'Cold Pink" and here is the recipe:
Take all the white meat left over from the
Thanksgiving turkey. and chop it up very fine.
Pour thin cranberry sauce over the cold meat
Nix well, put it in china form. and set it away
TO get cold. When cold, serve it. 1t makes a
delightful dish But alas! as Mr.. Stackton him
self remarks, there is never any turkey left over
from the Thanksgiving dinner.
If YOU are methodical in the treatment of
your birds you will ni that all there is to do is
accomplished easily and quickly, writes Mrs.
Henry Ward Beecher in The Ladies' Home
journal. Some years since We had large
cage, the entire height and width of window 10
tle SeWlnR-rOOm ana between Two and three
feet deep. In this cage we had fifty birds of diff
ferent kinds. After one weeks experience in
caring for them we allowed one-half hour every
morning to clean the cage, feed and battle the
BIRDS and make them happy. Taking out the
gravel pan and putting dozen bath tubs in is
place. the pans, perches and feeding cups were
now taken out, cleaned and the cups filed with
the proper variety OF food for each kind of bird.
This cleaning all done by the time they had
finished bathing. Then, removing the bath
tubs aud wiping the bottom of the cage dry, the
gravel. perches and feeding cups were returned
TO their proper Places and the work was done.
That was all the care the birds needed till the
morning. unless. once or twice a week, they
were given bit OF lettuce or egg or little
beef

fifty years and 1t was reserved for Ohio to bs
the scene of the first revolt. 1t was in ls40. in
June, thing, that the employees of Wolf & Co.'S
foundry in Cincinnati struck for an increase in

clude all the iron workers of the city. For
more than month both sides held out, and at
the end of that time the laborers succeeded
in securing moneyESawith which to
start a cooperative foundry. They chose a
business manager and superintendent from
among their own number and started out with
great boom. AT the end of three years they

cleaned up they were still $500, coo behind AS

spoDsible under the Ohio law for the liabilities,
every one of the strikers was compelled to

from being seized to satisfy their creditors. So

The existing Paris says the July St. Nicholas,
covers 1925 acres, or about 30 square miles,
while metropolitan London, with 1000 900 pop
ulation, contains 1ls square miles, and Chicago,

| extensive for 100000 The average distance
| from the center Of Paris to the circumference
is only three miles. Minneapolis. with only
| 165, 900 people, has municipal area more than
twice as large as that of Paris Almost the
entire population of Paris is housed in the flats
| of tenement structures averaging from four to
| five stories in height. According to the revised
| figures of the census Of 1886 there were nearly
| 5000 houses in Paris, and the average number
| of people In house was about thirty. In the
| old ACCOMPLISHMENTS of the inner Paris there ore
| probably about 30, 900 houses, accommodating
| about ,000, 600 people. For total contrast in
| the plan of house construction we have only TO
cross the channel and to examine London,
| where we find an average of about eight persons
| to a house for the whole metropolis. But the
/ people OF Paris are better housed, all things
| considered, than those of London. A popula-
ton of ,5O0.0 900 within circle whose radius is
| only three miles is certainly very dense but il
| must be remembered that Paris is a many

But the pleasing theory ON which its patrons
| have hitherto gone has been that none but the
| very soundest oranges were used in its manu-
| facIure Probably this is the case with the
| best makers of the conserve; but rather lurid
| light has been thrown on the subject by case
| heard at the Woolwich police court. An inspec-
| tor stated that complaints were made to him
| as to the condition of some oranges exposed
| for sale at the local market. On examining
| three boxes they were found TO contain a
| BLACK pulpy substance" which was quite un-
| fit to eat" The owner of the fruit made the
| horrifying suggestion that it could be chopped
| up for marmalade, and at the hearing OF the
| case he defended himself on the ground that
| the oranges we're merely frosted" Another
| witness mentioned the disQuieting fact that
| while the ''pulpy" oranges cost 10 shillings a
| box those sold for marmalade only fetched 4
| shllings. The defendant was let off with
| warning. as there was no proof that he knew
| the oranges to be as bad as they undoubtedly
| were. For the public the important point is to
| discover what proportion of their matutinal
| marmalade is made up of the black pulpy
| substance" aforesaid.
