A Red Dinner.


In the center of the table at the Aleon-
quin CLUB was round BASKET of cylogvnes
with its own foliage. The basket was
twelve inches high; standing in its center
was fonr-armed cadelabrum holding red
candles with red shades. Surrounding this
basket OF orchids were four large crescents,
yard from point TO point, composed en-
trely Of American beauty roses. The con-
vex portion Of the cTescents touched the
basket. AT each of the four points were
Venetian glass vases twenty-four inches
high, filed with loDg-stemmed American
beauty roses. The bottom of the vases
We're wreathed with crimson king carna-
tions.
These wreaths were connected with cir
cular garland OF roses. Outside of this
garland, midway between the four vases,
were four three-armed candelabra, trimmed
with branches Of Jacqueminot roses, whose
stems were caught at the base with bow
of ribbon of the exact Jack" shade.
The decorations did not end with these
roses. Quite distance outside of this gar
land and the candelabra was a circular edg-
ing inches high and inches wide, COM
posed of Papa Gontier roses and rose
foliage. Scattered between these rose en-
vlr0Dments on the highly polished table
were dark red nasturtiums and maiden hair
ferns.
The central candelabrum had thirteen
candles and the others ten. The room in
which the dinner was given is finished in
light yellow, which made very pretty
setting TO this costly arrangement Of reses

A BUFFALO TRAGEDY.
Mrs. BIobbs Trades Off the Gray
Pants of Her Husband.


1t was late when Mr.. Blobbs got up yes
terday morning, and he hustled around his
bedroom Ike a mailman. When it became
time to put on his trousers he plunged into
a wardrobe and pulled down all the gar
ments that were on the hooks. Then he
fell on his knees and paved the
pile over nervously. He handled every
garment twice and did not find what he
wanted. He swore three separate and
distinct times, and then shouted "MaryP
There was no reply. Blobbs poked his
head ont OF the door and yelled again.
''Maryt"
What is 1t. dear?" asked some one at the
rear end of the fat
Come here, and get move on. too"
Mrs. Blobbs came into the room. Her face
was flushed from breakfast preparations,
and there was some SCOT on her nose.
What do yOu want?" she asked.
Where's them gray pants OF mine?"
What gray pants ?"

"Iraded them for kettle. You didn't

Mr.. Blob0s was so mad that he frothed at

the room. He kept this up for ten minutes

A New Order of Voices.

so many young women waste time and
money in laborlng to sing, when singing well
is entirely beyond them, that it is pity
they do not occupy themselves more profit
ably in training themselves to speak prop
erly, writes Junius Henri Bronze In an article
on The Voices of American Women" in the
May Ladies' Home Journal. Not many
lessons would be required to make
their voices smooth, even agreeable, as
we see in the cases of young women
who have been prepared for the stage.
There is no substantial reason why American
women OF average intelligence. notwith-
standing nerves and climate, should offend
by their harsh tones. The day is not dis
tant, let us hope, when the number will be
reduced to a minimum. The coming CEN
tGry will, in all likelihood. not only see
new order of things, but will hear a new
order of voices that it will be pleasant to
listen to.

Judge Turner OF Spokane on the Rail-
road Situation.
A Justice of the Supreme Court of Wash
ington in the Territorial days, leading law
yer and distinguished jurist, one of the
principal candidates for a seat in the United
States Senate in the recent memorable
deadlock in the Legislature of the Ever
green State, Hon. George Turner of Spo-
kane, who has been quietly sojOurnlng at
the California Hotel the past few days. is
perhaps one of the best-known men in the
Pacific Northwest
An Alabama man and a typical South
erner he is a Republican. and at the Repuh-
lican national convention of 1880, as a dele
gate from his native State, he was the
youngest member of the famous 1896" that,
under the leadership of Roscoe Conkling,
voted for General Grant, and remaining
true even when beaten by the combination
that secured the nomination OF General
Garfield.
In referring to this celebrated contest
Jadge Turner stated that census recently
taken developed the fact that sixiy-fye out
OF the sec have passed away. among them
being Roscoe Conkling. Chester \. Arthur,
John A. Logan, Matt Carpenter and Emory
S;orrS. Don Cameron is one OF the most
noted Of the survivors.
'Although resident of the coast for
many years." said Judge Turner. this is
my first visit to California and its metrop-
oils. What have seen confirms all tbs
great and good things have heard of this
favored section of our country.
California is great State, but Washing
ton, although rs yet but an infant i'll growth
and development. can beat her in one re-
sprct and that is railroads.
-Four great transcontihental lines now
enter the State either with their trunk lines
or branches. This seems to me to be the
great need Of California to-day.
Spokane is city of 10000 and it is I'M
doubleday the most prosperous of the three
large cities of the State. It's former splendid
railroad facilities have been greatly in
creased since the advent of the Great North
ern, which now runs regular trains between
that point and ST. Paul. The wheat crop
of Eastern Washington promises to be the
greatest in the history of that celebrated
region. The timber and mineral resources
of the State are being rapidly developed
and as q consequence manufacturing insti-
tutions are becoming plentiful. People gem
orally are in prosperous condition and the
outlook for the State is good
While in the city Judge Turner is at
tending to some important cases in the

In recent lecture before the Chem
lists Assistants Association, London, by
William Hill, NJ. D., London, the throat
was described in detail, and the pharynx
and the larynx pointed out as the two
most important parts. The nose mes a
very important connection with the
throat and its disorders. 1t contains a
series of bones called the turbinated
bones, which expose large surface OF
warm blood, and cause the air inhaled
to be warmed ready for the lungs; more.
over, the ella of the nose cause the Sc
erection to move aud reject the solid par
ticles it has collected. The nose is the
proper organ for breathing, not the
mouth. The larynx, which is the air
passage, is bounded at its upper ex-
tremity by the vocal cords, and has,
therefore, the double function of breath
ing and phonation. The epiglottis, by
altering its form, causes the food to pass
down the pharynx, and keeps it from
the larynx. In speaking OF proper
breathing, the author pointed out that
diaphragmatlc breathing was the proper
method, and not cavicular. 1t was re-
ported that Rubini had broken his
clavicle during singing, by persisting in
this method of breathing. Throat dis
eases are often caused by germs, by in
halation of sewer gas, etc. Fortunately,
there are other organisms in the throat
always ready to attack these germs. The
throat was well provided with tousis,
both faueial and lingual. The tonsils
produce phagocytes or leucocytes, ame
bold corpuscles which actually swallow
up the germs. Why, then, should tom
sils be cut out2 Because, when they be.
come enlarged and horny, they lose this
function, and by removing the horny
surface, the newly exposed portion can
20 on producing the corpuscles. The
decay Of teeth is largely due to germs.
This shows the Importance of keeping
the teeth in order. Obstruction in the
nose is the cause OF many throat dis
orders. People liable to throat disorders
should be very chary of eating piquaut
or hot dishes. Irritating remedies, too,
such as cayenne and Except in special
cases) tannin lozenges or nitrate of sill
yer, should be avoided. Hot tea, too,
is bad. Scientific American.
