Stories of Great Luck.

Captain Ben Ferguson, collector on the
ferryboat Hite, is always reminiscent.
The other day the captain said to me:
You seldom hear of q man making
100000 in one night in these days, but
know of such an instance. Mr.. Cole
man, who ran a foundry ON Washington
street, near Brook, did it. In relating it
to me he exhibited no delight whatever.
His words were: Captain, l made $780,
600 last night; went to bed early and
slept soundly. You know the price of
iron went up, and fortunately had
enough on hand, which had purchased
at n low figure, to net me fortune AS
Captain Ferguson concluded the story
he told another of how Dennis Long
made $2O0,00 because the price of iron
dropped out of sight 1t was just at a
time when Mr.. Long had failed in bust
ness and told Captain Ferguson that he
was 100000 in debt.
well, said the captain, Dennis Long
went up to indianapolis to bid on the
construction of the city waterworks.
There was but one other bidder, and
Mr.. Long was awarded the contract.
Not long after iron began fuctuating,
and Longs estimate having been made
on the basis that iron would advance
still more in price, it already being high
at the time. he of course found that as
it decreased he was reaping a golden
harvest. Well, iron went down and
down. When it stopped, it was worth
hardly anything. Mr.. Long, as l said,
made 100000 by this, and he's been
making money ever since."-Louisville
Courier-Journal.

How to Live if You Wish to Live Long.

Aside from the very important and
controlling influence of inheritance, Of
diet and of temperate habits, the points
to be learned from the few statistical
data attainable are that longevity is pro-
NOTED by quiet, peaceful life in a re-
tired and rural community, where there
is freedom from nervous strain and wor-
rying and excessively laboriOus toll. The
business man, with increasing cares and
responsibilities, the mill operative toll
ing hard to keep together the souls and
bodies of himself and his family, the
politicians, the Woodworking professional
men, are not the chief contributors to
the centenarian ranks. DR.. Holyoke in
deed became a centenarian, but his ex'
ample has rarely been followed by his
professional brethren.-Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal.

JOCKEYS INJURED ON THE STAGE.
Four jockeys We're seriously in
jured in the race scene in the
"Prodigal Daughter" which is be-
ing played in New York City at
the American theatre last Thurs
day night.
The eight thoroughbred horses
used in the race had crossed the
stage twice. One Of the riders had
been thrown, and in the last run
across before taking the home
stretch one horse took the water
leap riderless, having thrown its
jockey. The horses struggled be-
hind the scenes waiting for the
hOmestretch, with Leonard Boyne,
the hero of the play, who is
booked to win the race, in the
lead.
AS he started his right leg caught
against the scene and caused
ROQuefOrt, the horse he was riding,
to swerve. The scenery was shat.
tered, and Manager French, who
was leaning against it, fled in
alarm. ROquefOrt got out of the
muddle, but Bedfellow, ridden by
Downing, was pushed against the
railing across the front of the stage
and fell. GaZelle, ridden by Gould
and Columbia, ridden by Clancy
fell on top of Bedfellow, while Bo.
hemian, stumbling over the other
horses, pitched Jockey Armstrong
across the stage. Gould was under
three of the horses that were down
while Clancy and Downing were
within range of the hOofs of the
plunging thOroughbreds. The per
sons in the audience could see al
plainly, and there were cries from
women, as blood poured from
GOuld's head and face, as one O

Lightning and Rain.

1t is popularity supposed that the sud

that, exactly to the contrary, it is not
only possible but highly probable that
the sudden increased precipitation is the

play, "Miss Innoeeace Abroad last
Friday night at the Hagen opera
house, st. Louis. "Miss Inn o
cenee Abroad" is an adoption from
the French by F. c. Philips and {.
BrooKfield. The comedy is built
cd conventional lines, and in the
character of Maria, Miss Rice made
an emphatic hit. The leading role
calls for work of an entirely differ
ent character Of any hitherto at
tempted by Miss Rice, and the
clever actress has full scope for the
display Of light comedy talent of
high order.

The strawberry shortcake of com.

In a Chicago fat there lives a maiden
aunt who of a Sunday evening shows
her nephews and nieces what straw
berry short cake really may be. Her
productions are. masterpieces. They
can be initiated but not equaled for
they have that indescribable some
thing belonging alone to the handi-
work of genius. As to the mere prac-
teal details, this. is what she does:
Two hours or whereabouts before tea
she has the berries, in most liberal al
lowance, hulled and plentifully sug-
ared, and set away on ice. This she
says is Of much Importance for there
must be enough juice thoroughly to
soak the fruit. When tea time is draw
ing near she makes the short cake
proper and it is then that her skill
tells. For if she could not make flakv
and feathery, biscuit crust she would
not attempt the higher task. She
makes simply an especially good bis
cult dough, rolling it with fairy light
ness and seeing toit that-it is quickly
baked. When it is done she splits it
with dizziness acquired only by thirty
years constant practice, buffers it with
a spendthrift- hand, sugars it trifle,
pours half the berries over the lower
half, caps them with the other, puts
the other half on top, and sets the
whole in the oven until it is quite
heated through. This last detail is the
secret of success, she says, because it is
the heat that brings out the flavor of
the juicy crust. A pitcher of cream is
the proper accompaniment of this sort
of shortcake, though the fashionable
creamed butter also goes well. Either
way this is the true, crisp, friable, ''in-
clined to fake" ''short" shortcake.-
