hypnotism, and so far from indicating in-
attention to the sermon, shows rather
complete absorption by 1t. Fixing ones
mind on the voice of the minister. in the
otherwise complete silence of the audi
cnce-room, produces just the conditions
necessary to domination by another's
mind, and the nodding head and droop-

monials of his powerful influence.

their golden disks so neatly and how
often [ have tried to cut my hard

a wiser woman that | learned at least
how to prepare the eggs properly for

If one wishes to use hard-boiled eggs
as q garniSh she must put them into
water already boiling and boil hard for

Then cold water must be allowed to
run over them a few minutes. after
which set aside another half hour in
fresh cold water. Then they are to be
rolled gently on the table until the
shell is closely cracked all over. After
that one can take off the shell and in

surface. Use a thin, sharp knife for
the slicing and the white will not
break nor the yolk crumble.

Deviled BiscuitS.-Water biscuits are
very delicate deviled for supper, a late

MINISTER'S IN DISGRACE.
Cases w here We Have Sent Diplomats
Home.

How many time has our govern,
sent them home in disgrace?" is asked
Seven times altogether our govern
ment has dismissed foreign ministers
but that does not mean necessarily
sending them home in disgrace. 1t
means merely that they have ceased to
be personoe gratoe, have ceased to be
acceptable to our government for some
reason or other. The first minister to
be recalled at the request of our gov
eminent was Edmond Charles Genest,
or Genet. who. though only twenty
seven years Old. represented the
.Frnech republic under Washington S
administration. Genets head had been
turned; he tried hard to get Washing

and conducted himself so that France
recalled him at WaShingtOn'S request.
Genet resigned his position, but did
not return to France; he died in New

made insulting remarks about the

HIS HEART.
Objection Of a Matter-of-Fact Girl to
Her Lovers Sacrifice.

His poetic soul had gone out to the
girl in a great wave of ineffable devo-
ton.
She knew that he loved her, and she
was content; but the love she had in
her mind was not of that misty, i'm
material kind which feeds ON moon
light and clothes itself in the pink and
white garniture Of the flowers, says
Tid-Bits.
Still, she did not seek to make dis.
cordant the melodiOus music of his ten
der pleadings.
On the contrary, she rather encour-
aged him in it, for she knew the time
would come when the poetry OF his
passion would read more like an ad
yert;sement for secondhand furniture
ON the instalment plan.
SO, thus encouraged, he came at last
to the point of proposal.
Irene" he said, with deep, pathetic
soulful, urging intensity, Il love you
May / lay my heart at your feet!'
The time had come when the CIR
must speak. She had no wish to lost
this loyal lover Dut she KNEW uue De
ginning of the end of this beautiful
romance had arrived.
/ She gave him her hand.
| NO, William" she said earnestly
you cannot"
! William turned pale. He had been 81
hopeful. The sunshine of her presence
had never been clouded before. Wha
could it mean?
/ He tried to speak. but his tongue re
fused to do its Office.
You caLnot,'' she went on firmly
because this carpet cost a dollar pc
yard. and if you should lay your hear
at my feet at least width Of it woult
be ruined. and we would never be abb
to match it again. Let your heart keel
ON at the old place, William, and
William did.

GIANT DREDGER All WORK.
Said to Handle $4,000 Cubic Yards Of
Solid Material in Day.

The relative slowness Of the ordinary
dredger is shown in a description of
the work Of a giant dredger which is
now being used in filling up the
Charles river bottoms, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. The dredge is 1876
and nearly every foot of it is covered
with machinery. There are six engines
aboard OF her; one triple-eXpansiOn en-
CINE of $50 horse power sucks the
sediment up from the bottom Of the
river and pushes it through a long pipe
with tremendous force.
Projecting from the forward part of
the dredge is Il wheel consisting of a
Series of steel knives about three feet
in length arranged around the circum-
ference. The interior is hollow and a
suction pipe runs down the hollow to
the center The wheel is lowered into
the water by means of cables running
from an iron crane. After it touches
the bottom it is set in motion. 1t eats
its way into the bed of the river, the
steel knives cutting up everything be-
fore them, and, as the sediment falls
into the hollow center of the wheel, it
is caught by the suction pipe and
whirled along with the sediment; in
fact it would not be possible to force
the sediment through the tube for so
long a distance without the water.
1t is claimed that the dredge can do
the work of ten ordinary dredges, and
in one month it filled in a space OF
about a quarter of a mile square and
from to feet in depth. 1t is said
that this dredge is able to handle
something over 5000 cubic yards OF
solid material in a day.

TRANSPORTATION.

An hour ago 4 son of toll was he,
Held even by his fellows but to be
Of Smlll account, hailed rudeiy. rldely
named,
ReYlied and inconsideIately blamed.
Treated uncivilly, Snaried at, abused
But now, behold. how tenderly he's
used
BY low-voiced men, who with bare
heads and bowed
Assemble near him in an awe struck
crowd;
A king, passing in royal eageantry.
Would gain no humber reverence than
he
Who was 4 son of tod an hour ago.
What wrought this transformation >
What could throw
A halo round so poor Il bit of clay?
II WAS a Monarch none may disobey
Called him TO wear 4 crown. Men
huShed their breath
And grew respectful at the Seal of
Death.

BEDEVIIiED THINGS.
Not Mems Imagina tons, but Fair Wo-
mans Cpncoctions.

Tho preparing of things to eat as
described by novelists, more especially
English writer's, has always had a
strange fascination for one woman at
least; Ruth Pinch's beefsteak pie, the
Pickwick reflections, the cold pasties,
the game pies, and so through the long
list of the "deviled bones which SOME
how made her feel that life was not
worth living until she learned to devil
a bone with any heroine or hero of
them all.
Deviled Drumsticks-Take the drum
sticks of a turkey, for example; are
they not always, nearly, left on ones
hands? 1t is usually useless to serve
them anew, cut into thick, slnewy
slices; they are still distinctly not
tempting.
1T was upon such unmanageable
drlmsticks that the woman who had
set her heart upon "deviling a bone"
put in her prentice work, and this
is the way she now serves them at the
luncheon:
Cut the drrnnsticks open down one
side and with a sharp knife carefully
take out all the bones and cartilage,
dip them into melted butter, dust all
inside with salt and pepper, sprinkle
it Wei with lemon juice, and then
spread over the whole a very little
mustard, have the gridiron piping hot,
lay the prepared drumsticks on it for
a few moments, lift to hot dish, gar
nish lightly with parsley and serve at
Tr 1r-11po ial
vanish as by magic.
Crabs and Lobsters.-Then there are
crabs; no more satisfactory dish can
be offered than a dozen crabs a Ia dia-
be.
Boil them first in sailed water and
be sure the water is boiling when you
put the crustaceanS in. Then pick the
meat carefully from the shells, crack
the claws with small hammer without
I sp1intering. You should have about six
! ounces of the meat. For this amount
/ take two hard boiled eggs, two table
s1oonsful of sifted bread crumbs, the
Juice OF half lemon, salt and cayenne
pepper to taste. Mix all together with
the crab, using enough cream to make
, the mixture soft After washing the
r shells fl them with the savory com
t pound Sift the fine bread crumbs
} over and lay generous lump Of butter
on each crab. Put them into a baking
/ pan and brown in a quick oven.
Where fresh lobster is obtainable
, you can devil it deliciously. Boil i
f first. pick out the meat, carefully re
4 moving the black vein from the tail
e save all the coral and green fat. choI
S the meat and prepare exactly as de
scribed for crabs. Fill the shell, covel

g utes.

THE DIFFERENCE.

Oh, my dainty maiden table
Was the fairest thing TO see.
With its cups AM pot and kettle
In order, quaint, for tea.
For the pot was royal Worcester,
With u cup Belleck, or TWO;
Rare Dresden bits and golden spoons
And coy, etched in blue.
And naught had over Jared upon
The kettles cheerful song;
And pretty girls with jeweled hands,
Had, with me, slipped Oolong
But my dainty married table
Is a shocking thing to see!
Midst its cups and pot and kettle,
in order, quaint, for tea
See, u4ere is Il bowl of ashes,
Burnt matches and a ''snipe,"
And pouch of Turkish mixture,
And a br:ar bulldog pipe!

civilization in the twentieth century.

1t has been wears since jim Rynders
tovcd with the kitty" or huckcd the
tiger. He had forsaken many Of his old
sporting friends and located himself in a
quiet home in East Oakland, where he
spent his last days in peace and hapPl-
ness. 1t was said of him that he
had no worry on account of his gamb-
ling DAYS, for he had lost more money
at the gambling table saws the san Fran
cisco Chronicle, than he had ever won.
In fact, he made the greatest loss in the
state, dropping 9lOOO 900 at one sitting at
faro. That loss is a matter of history.
But Jim Rvnders did not die peunile7s.
When he retired from he ring of chance
he made d few legitimate speculatiOns,
and the reformed gambler made an
