APrssldsnt,s Psrauisltss.

One day Chauncey NJ. Depew sat
in his Office patiently talking to a
middle. aged spinster with the tradi-
tional corkscrew curls dangling from
under a gayly beribboned bonnet.
She was asking his advice about
business investments, and finally she
wished to know something in regard
to real estate. "Ah," he said In his
most soothing tones, there are two
things / know nothing about, and
they are women and real estate. {"
Then-sbe suddenly kissed the after
dinner orator and marched out.
Several men who were waiting in q
corner of the room to talk to Mr.. De
pew advanced, laughing at the oscu-
lation scene they were compelled to
witness. Wheeling his chair about
he merrily said, "Gentlemen, the
president of the road is entitled to
all such perquisites. New York

The feast Of 1t. Barbara, like that
Of st. Martin, is q soldiers fete In
Italy. Tho heroic girl, II we may
believe nm old story Of tho tenth cen,
tury, was an angel Of beauty and virs
tue, born In O fortress whore her
father, Dioscoro, was tho governor
and also aid -de-camp 10 the emperor,
Macmillan. st. Barbara first saw
the light In Italy in her fathers beau
tiful villa near Scandrtglia, a gift
from the emperor 10 his general, rich
with mineral waters, marvellous
plants. statues, etc, where she passed
the first few years Of her life, and
where she became q convert TO the
Christian religion.
The beautiful girl was hunted 10
death, taken prisoner. her breasts
were cut off, and she was exposed TO
brutal soldiers, who took possession
of her, fastened her TO a stake, covered
her with quicklime and burned her
to death, and this she suffered rather
than renounce the religion she had
embraced. This, at least, is the leg.
end, and the artillery and the engt
neer regiments fete her as their pa
tron, to whom they show much re-
spect and gratitude, especially as
they have half the day free and dou.

A Story of Werner Won siemens.

A curious story is told in the auto
biographical Memoirs" of the great
German electrical engineer, Werner
Won Siemens. When he was engaged
laying the first telegraph cable be-
tween Verviers and Cologne, about
the year 1850, a lady came to him
and told him with many tears how
his telegraph threatened with utter
ruin the business of her husband, who
had for years carried on very sue
cessful pigeon post between Brussels
and Aix-la- Chapelle, and was now
broken hearted at the gloomy pros
pect before him.
Siemens strongly advised the young
couple to roast their pigeons and
promised his assistance if they went
to London and started news agency.
This the young man, who was then
Herr Reuter-, the founder of tho tele-
graphic business which goes by his
name, proceeded to do, and in a few
years became a rich man, a baron
and indeed a power in Europe.

An Inveterste smoker.

A young boy at Chattanooga is
said to have been an inveterate
smoker since he was years Of age.
His mother, in speaking Of the lads
strong inclination for tobacco, said;
Looking back to when he was 4
years Of age, ! can remember he was
then an inveterate smoker, having
stealthily obtained his grandmothers
pipe and cultivated the natural de-
sire for tobacco. ! was always fear
full of attempting to break him OF
the habit, and therefore in that one
respect he has always followed his
own inclinations. He il Is years old
now and never retires at night With
out having pipe Of tobacco near the
bed for use during the night. Phil

How 20 Make q Fondu.


A fondu Is a hot dish OF cheese,
highly seasoned, which may be
served as a course at dinner or a. q
dainty dish at supper time. II may
be cooked In individual molds or IN
one large cake mold. II must be
served as soon as 1t Is baked In the
dish that 1t Is cooked in.
The pretty little round ramekin
dishes Of futed china which may be
found nowadays at any china store
are suitable to cook a fondu in. Like
most all hot dishes containing cheese,
the fondu is an English dish. A
simple rule is as follows: Crate q
quarter Of pound of cheese. Half
Parmesan and half good rich dairy
cheese is best, but it may be made
entirely of dairy cheese If you pre-.
fer Put the grated cheese in a
bowl, add half teaspoonful Of salt
and pinch of cayenne pepper.
Beat in the yolks of 8 eggs and 2
ounces of melted butter Add then
the whites Of eggs, beaten to a
stiff froth. Bake it in a moderately
hot oven for about 20 minutes and
serve. New York Tribune.

Pure Flour and Bran.

Those who mistake the -four OF dirt
for q natural characteristic Of -four
are not likely TO be safe guides In
anything relating to -four. Unrefned
sugar is noted for it's favor" but
the flavor is merely the dirt or extra
neous matter in the sugar. SO 1t IL
with unrefined -four. The stalk Of
the wheat is quite as digestible an
the bran and is quite similar in com
position. The bran faddists ought to
insist on smashing bran, awns and
stems all at once into meal. Then
they would have q meal In which
nothing is wasted-oxcept tho con-
sumer. The consumer should be
guided by experience. II bran agrees
with him, he is right In eating II. II
it disagrees with HIM, he is right In
refusing 10 eat II. The moralizers
who are trying TO make out that the
millers are doing q great wrong In
making pure -four have everything
against them nowadays Milling

The recent elections In Connecticut
clearly demonstrate the fact that women
do not care 10 exercise the right of suf-
frage when they have it. They had a
chance to vote in the school elections
held there recently and very few of them
went to the polls, Notwithstanding they
were urged TO do so. The same thing
would happen here in Kentucky were
they given the right of suffrage. The
fact is women do not care anything
about voting.

have done nothing. Until some decis-
sive steps are taken in this particular,
our counties will be slow TO improve
much.
