The Latest Cut in Boards.

The pointed beard, which has for SO
long time held popular favor, is nc
longer the thing of fashion that it was.
"The pointed beard" says M. Henri
Poujol, an authority, "has certain ad-
vantages over all others, and that is the
reason why it has so long been popular.
1t is style of beard that was invented
by King Henry III, of France. It re-
quires less trimming and care than any
other, and therefore in this busy coun-
try it has been widely adopted. But it
must go.
The new beard resembles the one now
about to be discarded in some respects
1t is like a pointed beard with the point
cut off. 1t is very thin and closely cut
on the cheeks. 1t is peculiar fact that
the adoption of this style after discard
ing the other is but a repetition of his
tory. After Henry Ill had made the
pointed beard so fashionable the Due de
Guise introduced the present beard.
The Due de Guise, as you will remem-
Der, was the instigator of the Huguenot
massacre on st. Bartholomew Day. He
lived in the Sixteenth century and was
assassinated in his forty-third year.

Fibrelia.

It is reported that the proposed use OF
fibrelia, as it is termed-made from com
mon fax straw-as substitute for cot
ton, is receiving serious consideration
By the process of production the mate
rial referred to is reduced to a short
staple, very closely resembling eotton OF
wool, and, it is claimed, well adapted for
use with either in the manufacture of
goods by the machinery now in use, and
when so used is said to add materially
to the value Of the product.
1t is the opinion Of experts who have
investigated the matter that woolen
and cotton manufacturers are among
those to be especially advantaged by the
article, It being adapted readily to their
use. The fibrous manufacturers are con-
fined to two processes, differing entirely
in that one uses short staples, or cotton
and wool, while the other utilizes long
staples, like flax, hemp, silk and jute.
Fibrelia, in word, is fax converted
from long staple to short one, adapted
for use on. the present cotton and wool
machinery. Providence Journal.

Fires in English Mansions.

The Importance of providing private
appliances for the extinction of fires in
mansions is gradually becoming recog-
nized by country gentlemen, for although
the nearest town may be equipped with
powerful engines, the time occupied in
sending for these and in their returning
is usually so considerable as to render
their aid almost useless. Lord Brassey
has recently been anxious for the safety
of his house at Battle, near Hastings,
and after seeking advice from an ex-
perienced engineer he has had reser-
voir constructed under his lawn holding
over 10000 gallons of water, whence a
powerful steam fire engine will draw
water and throw it in enormous vol
umes over the mansion. A private fire
brigade is also in course of formation,
composed of the gardeners and other
workmen on the estate.-London Tit

Braised Turkey.

We will suppose that the turkey has
to be cooked in an ordinary saucepan.
Pluck and singe the bird, cut off the
neck and legs and empty it, reserving
the liver, heart and gizzard. Cover the
bird all over with slices Of bacon cut
very thin; then bind it securely with
twine. The shape of the turkey must
be preserved as correctly as possible.
Put few slices of fat bacon at the
bottom of the saucepan; lay the bird
upon these, with the giblets and trim
mings; Calls foot split in two, two or
three onions stuck with cloves, two car
rots, bunch of parsley and sprig Of
thyme, with salt and pepper to taste.
Put some slices of bacon on the top of
the turkey, and nearly cover it with
good stock. Put the lid on the pan and
gently simmer the contents from four to
six hours, according to the size of the
bird.
If this dish is to be eaten hot, place
the turkey on dish, surround it with
the best Of the vegetables and pour over
it part of the liquor in which it has been
stewed, freed from fat, and thickened
with a little browning. Aunt Chloe in

winters Growing nIilder.


ssThe winters in America have changed
wonderfully since was boy" said Ed
ward O'Neill, the insurance man, s'and
while Pittsburgers complain with great
er cause of the changeable, now warm,
now cold weather they get in the win
ter months, they are not alone in the en-
joyment of the discomforts of treacher-
GUS, shifty climate. When I was boy
and lived on the banks of the Hudson, in
New York state, the river used to freeze
solid by Thanksgiving, and from then
till late in March we had all the sleigh
ing we wanted; the snow accumulated
till nothing on wheels was to be thought
of as vehicle for months together. ]
remember going to school in weather
that was simply arctic, with the ther-
mometer at 20 degs. below zero.
s"They have no such long periods of
very cold weather there now; there are
cold snaps, and they still have some
sleighing and skating, but the kind of
winter remember as the normal one of
my school days the Hudson river val
ley knows no more. Pittsburgers en-
joyed such winters twenty years ag
too. The theory that the destruction of
forests and the clearing and cultivating
of the land has had this effect upon the
climate may explain the mild, uncer-
tain winters in some sections, but it will
hardly hold good in regard to the Hud-
son valley, which is still dominated by
the forest clad sides of the Catskills. -

SHE MUST MARRY THE JUDGE.

Remarkable Method of Choosing q
wife by Making Her Apply for once.
Among the many remarkable propo-
sails OF marriage which have been pub
lished from time to time in the news
papers, the most unique is the follow
ing, which appears in our advertising
columns:
Wanted-A young lady for clerk of the county
court of Elbert county. 1t will be necessary
for her to marry the county Judge. Address
County Judge, Elberton, Ga.
Coming as it does in the dawn of leap
year, this advertisement by Judge J. A.
Roebuck has special force and signif-
canoe. Application for the position of
clerk under the terms of the above ad-
vertisement would be equivalent, of
course, to a proposal of marriage to
Judge Roebuck. This, in any other
year, might not be considered just the
proper thing for young lady to do, but
in leap year who shall question her
right to such course?
But see the cleverness of the Judge.
By simply mastering up the audacity to
announce in the advertising columns of
the two leading papers in Georgia that
he is anxious for wife, which is an
entirely praiseworthy aspiration, and
which is the plain English of his clever
advertisement, he has at single bound
left the embarrassing position of suitor
and taken the vantage ground of the one
to be wooed.
And see, too, the easy avenue of escape
from undesirable applicants which is
left to him and the embarrassment
which is saved the young ladies. While
it might be . trying ordeal for young
lady to propose marriage even to the
man she loves, in this day of female
stenographers, typewriters and book
keepers there need be no embarrassment
on lady's part in applying for any re-
spectacle clerkship. Therefore, when a
young lady has become acquainted with
Judge Roebuck, of the Elbert county
court, and feels that she is willing to
share the honors and emoluments of his
Office, she has only to apply for the posi-
ton of clerk in his court.
If the judge fancies the applicant the
bargain can be closed at once, and the
clerks salary remains in the family. If,
on the contrary, the applicant would
not be acceptable as Mrs. Roebuck,
the judge has only to represent the
duties of the Office as being such that
she could not fill them, and regret that
he cannot give her the position. Both
parties thus escape all reference to the
embarrassing part of the business. In
the language of the sporting gentry, the
judge is "on velvet"

Cooperation i'm English Housekeepin

Cooperation In English Housekeeping.
The English housekeeper, without in
tending to do SO, has really taken two
long steps in the direction of co-opera-
tive housekeeping. For in most small
establishments, where perhaps only
three or four servants are kept, no
breadmaking is done at home and the
washing is all put out. The bread pur-
chased is not, however, what is tech
nically known to us as .bakers' bread"
The huge loaves are firm and light, and
similar in grain to what the best home
cook could produce. The various kinds
Of hot bread dear to an Americans
heart are neither desired nor found on
an Englishman's table, and although
an American housekeeper might con-
slider it bad management to buy her
bread, to the English housekeeper the
plan seems the best in the world.
As the English housekeeper is nothing
if not thrifty, without further discussion
it may be taken for granted that CO.
operation between her and the baker
must mean saving of pocket for her,
as well as simplifying of her household
arrangements. In the same way, the
fact that no washing is done at home,
means saving both of fuel and of fric-
ton in the kitchen. Furthermore, no
unsightly lines with their burden of
clothes ever dis6gure the back yard of an
English house. The yard is instead a
thing of beauty, with its central grass
plot, its little tagged walk, and with its
bushes and vines neatly trained against
the surrounding walls.-Cor Home

White PopIars as Lightning Rods

M. Oovaroff, a Moscow scientist, has
discovered that when lightning strikes
in forest the white poplar (populus
alba) is the first,to attract it. He came
to the conclusion that this tree can be

of a white poplar before every house in
a village be made obligatory upon the
peasants to prevent fire by lightning

are somewhat disgruntled tonight after
their trip up the San Joaquin. The heat
was 102 degrees in the shade at Fresno aud
there was plenty of dust combined with
this. The result of this was that, although
Fresno turned itself inside out TO honor
the scribes, the awful heat was a damper.
In spite Of 1t, however. many rode 10 miles
or more among the cellars and vineyards.
Mayor Cole, Judge Short and others did

The Island Of MauritiuS Devastated by
a Hurricane.
ENORMOUS DAMAGE TO THE SHIPPING.
Houses LeVeled and Trees uprOOted-The Less Of Life
Was Appalling - Crops on the
Island Utterly Ruined.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, May 1S.-Advices from Mauri-
titus state that hurricane of great violence
passed over that island April 30 causing
enormous damage to shipping aud on land.
The western half OF Port Louis. the cap
ital, was devastated. Houses were blown
down, trees uproOted and the loss of life
was appalling. The roar of the gale was
deafening aud the people rushed to and fro
in panic-stricken confusion. The rain fell
in torrents, thunder crashed and the flashes
of lightning were binding. The exact
number of the dead Is not known. The
authorities are making every effort to allie
yiate the suffering aud military tents are
being distributed among the homeless, as
well as food. Half of the crops of sugar,
coffee and pepper are utterly ruined and the
loss is very heavy.
Although Mauritius is noted for violent
and destructive hurricanes, this one eX-
ceeds any hitherto known. Lowering skies
and falling barometer gave warning of
the approach Of the storm, aud everything
possible was done TO minimize the threat
ened damage. but when the gale burst
all precaution proved of 70 avail. The
shipping in the harbor sent down their top
masts, put out extra anchors and paid out
cables parted like thread, and the vessels
were washed upon the coral reefs about
the island. The horror and misery of the
scenes Of destruction surpass description.
The island OF Mauritius is a colony of
Great Britain, in the southwestern portion
of the Indian Ocean, so miles east Of Mad
agascar, and is 130 miles in circumference.
1t is mountainous in character, and is sur
rounded by coral reefs, making the ports all
very difficult of access. The highest noun
tain peak is 1000 feet above the level of the
sea. There are number of lakes in the
interior of the island, principally the Grand
Basin, which is probably the crater of an
extinct volcano. There are few mineral
products, but copper, lead and iron are
found in small quantities.
The climate is pleasant during the cool
season, but from December to April 1t
is oppressively hot. During the past 80
years epidemics have carried away thou
sands Of the inhabitants. The present popu-
latiOD is about 400,0 people, 10000 of whom
live at Port Luis, the capital. The princi-
pal European countries represented there
are England and France, although about
two-thirdS of the inhabitants are HindOo
coolies. The soil of the island Is OF conSd-
erable fertility and suitable for raising
almost any kind Of tropical produce. The
prosperity of Mauritius depends almost en-
tireiy upon its sugar exports, although rum,
coeoanuts, coffee and pepper are also eX-
ported

speech which he delivered at Hastings yes
terday, eounseled the workingmen to follow
the example set them by the nations, and
substitute arbitration for the violent
methods which were sometimes adopted for
settling labor disputes. He said the grave
matter in which the prosperity OF the coun-
try was involved was the question of free
trade. England" he declared, ''Only main
tains the position which she occupies by
the vast industries existing here, but dan
ger is growing up. Foreign nations are
adopting protection. They are excluding
us from the markets and trying to kill our
trade. The important point Is, while ma
tiOns are negotiating TO obtain each others
commercial favor, none is anxious about
the favor Of Great Britain, because Great
Britain has stripped herself of the armor
and weapons with which battles are fought
"The attitude which we have taken In re-
garding it dislOyal to the glorious and
sacred doctrines of free trade to levy duties
on anybody for the sake Of anything we get
thereby may be noble, but not businesslike.

OF the people and with raw material which
is essential TO our manufacturers. We can
not exclude either without serious injury to
ourselves but there is an enormous mass Of
