DRESSES OF GLASS.
They Will Not Break and Can Be
Easily Cleaned.

Easily Cleaned.
The idea of wearing dresses made of
glass may at first sight appear in the
light of an impossibility, and yet the
great novelty Of this season, says the
Vogue, is material made OF spun glass,
and which is as bright and supple as
silk. with a peculiar sheen reminding
one of the sparkle of diamond dust.
In Russia there has for long time
existed tissue manufactured from the
fiber of peculiar flandrous stone from
the Siberian mines, which by some Sc
cret process is shredded and spun into
a fabric which, although soft to the
touch and Dliable in the extreme, is OF
so durable nature that 1t never wears
out. This is probably what has given
an enterprising manufacturer the idea
of producing the spun glass dress
lengths above mentioned.
The Muscoyite stuff is thrown into
the fire when dirty, whence it is with
drawn absolutely clean and ready for
use. but the spun-glass silk is simply
brushed with a hard brush and soap
and water. and is none the worse for
being stained or solled.
This material is to be had in white,
green, lilac, pink and yellow, and bids
fair to become very fashionable for
evening dresses.
1t is an Austrian who Is the inventor
of this material. which is rather costly.

SELECTED RECIPES.

How to Cook Spinach-As this is the
season of spinach, it is we'll to call tine
attention OF housekeepers to the fact
that this is vegetable which Is very
much improved by being cooled and re-
cooked. This process may be repeated
Almost an indefinite number of times
with increased improvement. Spinach
is quite often sold in the markets OF
Paris already cooked. hashed ana
drained, so that that the purchaser may
serve it a Ia cream, a la maitre d'hotel,
with gravy or any other way ne may
fancy. The story is related or BflilaC.
Savarin that after the same dish OF
spinach had been reserved on MS taole
twelve times he declared that 1t never
could be eaten with per1ection Until the
thirteenth serving.
AS spinach is often cooked II is

the most delicate and refined vegetables
that come upon our table. In order 10
free it from certain rankneSS or tne

this, wash it very thoroughly. cut OH
the stocks and boil it in an a0undance

drain it through a colander, ana I'M
merse it in the colander in pan or cold
water. When it has become thoroughly
cold. drain it again and chop it fine. 1t
is now ready to be cooked, and is III
the condition in which it is often found
i'm the French markets. 1t may be kept
in this condition over night or Tor a
number of days. AS rule, spinach is
cooked too long. 1t is not uncommon

and let them cook slowly until half
cooked, when a pint of potatoes. cut IN
dice, and half pint of mushrooms are
to be added. These latter may be omit
ted if you cannot get fresh ones, as the
canned mushrooms are very interior.
IL the cooking is done very slowly. the
chicken is very delicious and sayory.
81 Dreamed Asparagus Tips Remove
the heads from two punches OF aspara
gus and break the stalks into inch
I lengths; cook in boiling sailed water
until tender, adding the tips some time
gfterward, as they require less cooking
than the stalks. Make one pint cream
sauce with two tableSpoonfulS each OF
butter and -four. one-half teaspoonful OF
salt, one-half saltspoonful of pepper
| and one pint of hot milk or cream.
Drain the asparagus, arrange a but.
tered toast, cover with the sauce and
garnish with toast points. When boiling
asparagus in Dundlesit is preferable to
| stand them on end in the kettle, so thai
the tips will be above the water. and
seven or eight minutes before they are
done fill up the kettle so as to cover the
tips. In this way the shape is preserved
making them much more slightly.

THE FREAK of A BULLET.
1t Lodged in His Head and
Played Havoc With His Mem

DRY.
New Orleans I'imes-Democrat.
There used to be hotel clerk in st.
James, La, who had remarkable
story of a freak of bullet. He told it
with great warmth and with such an air
of truth that it would be hard to believe
that he had fabricated it. The story,
about the way he used to tell it, was
this:
Il got my memory back and bullet
on the tongue in a jiffy. Yes.sir, Jitfy.
Lodged right there between my eyes;
went in. l don't know how far in it
went, but know that it didn't come
| out: at least it didn't for long time.
! Well. went ahead about my work with
a bullet in my brain, and l felt pretty
queer all the time.
Il didn't seem to have much memory,
and sometimes | felt pretty queer and
heard queer kinds of noises. One day
sat down to breakfast. L had been feel
ing better for some time past. l had
begun to remember of things. SO L
| was Just sitting down to breakfast re-
Numbering things and eating buckwheat
cakes with syrup, when l felt some
thing plump down on my tongue.

my wife.

"Then / brought the eye-tooth down
between my teeth and took it out with
nv fingers. Well, sir, it wasn't no eve
tooth at all, but bullet. You bet was
surprised. 1t was the same bullet that
had gone in between my eyes.
"Well, it wasn't long after that before
my memory having had long rest-I

BLACKMAIL CHARGED.
A Milwaukee Firm Procures the
Arrest of an Alleged Insur-
ance Adjuster.
He Ia Charged With Attempting
to BIackmail the Concern
Out of $4,000.

MILWAUKEE. May 25.-F. g. Gowie
was arrested today charged with at
tempting to blackmail the F. Dohmen
company out of $4,000 fire insurance, land
another man is being looked for. When
the Dohmen company was burned out
the firm carried insurance to the amount
of $66,500, distributed among twenty
companies. OF this amount $4l,39l
was adjusted and paid. The re-
mainder of the insurance remained
unpaid. 1t is said a Judge
Geary, Of Chicago, at a conference with
the company, said that he represented
the insurance companies which had not
paid their claims, and that he had In
his possession affidavits of the COM
pany's workmen to show that during
the progress of the adjustment proceed
ings, articles which should have been
enumerated in the inventory were
spirited away. He offered under these
circumstances to settle the insurance
OH the basis of 80 per cent or the
amount agreed upon by the adJusterS
and agents of the company. The offer
was declined, and later Cowie wrote
the company that he represented the
non-paying companies, and that
he had in his possession all
the affidavts that were taken,
and that they were his private
property. as owing to the arrangement
between him and the companies he was
to receive contingent fee for his
services. He stated positively that the
companies had no evidence whatever
in their possession, but intimated
that the affidavitS contained some very
grave matter, and he advised the fir IN
to accept the offer of settlement
upon the so per cent basis.
Then the members of the
company called to szB mind a
green-looking Young man who, at the
time the adjustment of their loss was in
progress had been introduced by one of
the adjusters as poor but honest" and
on the adJuster's request had been given
employment in taking the inventory.

DAM TO COST S1,Ooo,OOo.
The English Syndicate to Make
Some improvements.

The English Syndicate to Make
Some improvements.
Senator w. d. Washburn returned
from Washington yesterday, and he has
something interesting to say regarding
the proposed plans of the English syndi-
cate, in which ne is also interested, for
the increase of the water power at the
falls by the construction of an addi-
tional dam. After a careful inspec-
ton of the river bed, the syndl-
cate has about decided to erect
dam above the Tenth avenue bridge
south, which will give fall of twenty
feet of water, the estimated cost of the
dam being in the neighborhood of $780,
900. The water power will, of course,
be the property of the syndicate, which
also owns the flats on the east side OF
the river, now occupied by the Bohem-
ian quarters. The estimated horse power
of the falls at present is $4,000.
and it is thought that the new dam will
increase this by one-third, making it
10000 horse power. The benefit to be
derived from the improvement is almost
incalculable. especiallySas regards the
output of flour. At present the mills
have daily capacity of 41,275 barrels,
and the increased power will bring 1t up
to $4,000 barrels per day. 1t is thought
that work willie be commenced on the
dam this wear.

The great base ball game of the sea-

versities of Michigan and Minnesota.
The Minnesota boys have tried to brace
their team up, inducing several of
last years men, who so far have refused
to do service OH the diamond this year.
to play in the game with Michigan, and
the local students believe that there will
be more resistance offered this time than
there was in the former game. The
Michigan team is nearly invincible. 1t
is about conceded that it will take the
Northwestern intercollegiate pennant
this year. Two of the men whom the
local base ball association will probably
put on for today's game, thereby leav-
ing out some of the weaklings, are Head,
a good batter and sure fielder, and
Brabec, the lightning twirler.

TWO LOCKS NEEDED
To Make the River Navigable to
MINNEAPOLIS.

DNAiSs
A conference was held yesterday be-
tween Assistant River Engineer j. d.
Duschane, Capt. J. G. Reno,o the board
of trade, and Senator Washburn,
the subject under discussion be-
ing the proposed Improvements in
the river between here and st. Paul.
Mr.. Duschane exhibited number OF
charts showing the scope OF the pro-
posed improvements necessary to max
ing the channel navigable to Mime
apolis. AS a result of the conference,
1t was decided that at least two locks
and dams would have to be built, one
above the mouth OF Minnehaha creek
and the other at Meeker island. They
must be at least twelve feet in height,
and it is the impression that still
another dam will be necessary to insure
deep water 1t was the impression of
all three of the gentlemen that the cost
of the work would fall below the estl-
mate. and they are all very much ell
couraged over the prospect of navlga-
ton to the mouth of the river, and 1t is
thought that there will be no trouble in
securing the appropriation.
