carefully picked over and rinsed
through cOlander to remove the sand
and dust which are sure to be in evi-
dence. Peaches, pears, plums and
oranges may be served whole, after
having been kept on ice for twenty
four hours. If the peaches are not
especially large and fine it may be well
to slice them. Oranges should be cut in
halves, between the blossom and fiat
end, and should be eaten with an
orange spoon, or sliced, with the slices
carefully seeded and divided into
quarters. Bananas should have the
skins removed and be cut lengthwise
into halves or quarters. Cantaloupes

DIVISION OF OFFICES.
System 10 Which the Senate Positions
Are AppOrtiOned.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The new ser
geant-at-arms and secretary Of the
senate will install their democratic as
sistants on the 18th inst. 1t is curious
how the subordinate positions in the
senate are divided among the several
senators.
A certain number Of positions have
been conceded to the republican men,
bers, as the republicans conceded to
the democrats an equal number Of de-
sirable places when they were in power.
The democratic employees hold over,
as matter of course. For the pay
ment of the salaries of all employees
Of the senate a certain amount is ap-
propriated From this is deducted the
aggregate Of the salaries of the repub-
lican officials, and then the aggregate
Of the salaries of the hold-over dem
ocrats.
The remainder of Uhe apprOpria ton
is pro rated among the several dem
Ocratic senators. Each democratic SEN
ator has at his disposal one position
aggregating about $1,000 or, if he 50
desires, he can give to two or more Of
his constituents positions at salaries
not exceeding this sum in the aggregate.

CUDAHY'S BIG LOSS.
1t Reaches S1,600,0O0- Settlement With
&c Cents on the Dollar

Chic 20, Aug. Pit is said that
Ml-s,;rs. Cudahy and Fairbank will soon
Ca. their creditors together and make
tbs a proposition. This, it is thought,
W. consist of an offer of security to
pay 66 % on the liabilities, which are
estimated at S2,400,00O. On this
amount $4,000 is Fairbanks indebted
ness and S1,60O,OOO Cudahy's.
According to the term of the propo-
sition Cudahy will offer to secure 30
per cent. Of his Indebtedness, while
Falrbank proposes to secure the whole
Of his. This would be $1,6OO,OO0
which would be turned over to trus-
tee as security for a release from ST.
100000 liabilities. This could be liqui-
dated, it is claimed, to such advantage
that creditors would realize G6 % cents
on their claims.
Ten concerns hold 100000 of the
of the two big debtors,
claim being S4S5.OOO and
another S2SO,0O0. There is a DISPOSE
ton on the part of most of the creditors
to accept the above term should they
be offered. The palatial residence of
Fairbank at Lake Geneva has been at
tached by one of the board of trade
creditors.

Furnishing THE INNOCENT.
Anonymous Toughs Menace Cashier
koetting'S Wife.

Milwaukee, Aug. 1O.-Some one, prob
ably an irresponsible crank, has as
Sumed the responsibility of making the
Innocent suffer for the guilty by ter
rifying the wife and other inmates or
| the household of Banker John 3. Koet-
ting with threatening anonymous let
tiers, sent to Mrs. Koetting, and mys-
teal signs marked in black ink upon
her residence
Last Thursday Mrs KOelting received
letter without a signature, the pur-
port of which was that her house
would either be burned or blown to
atoms if she did not disclose the where
abOuts of her husband. Shortly aflel.
wards ink marks were discovered upon
her door and a skull and crossbones
were found ominOusly portrayed upon
the porch.
The officers of the south side police
station were notified of the outrage
and the officer of the beat which in
cludes Mrs. KOetting's house was given
special instructions to watch the place
closely that no violence might be done
to it.
Mrs. KOetting says that the threats
had been made and she had turned
the letter over 10 4 friend who had ad-
vised her not to disclose it's contents.
She therefore declined to give the
wording Of the epistle, but said il was

you wish to cut the meat when hot,
after dinner plunge again into boiling

THE REFRIGERATION
Some Very Useful Information About
Its Care.

Every housewife knows that the
ordinary "help" may be relied upon
on a hot day to put all sorts and con-
Gitions of things into the refrigerator,
and also that in very desperation she
herself is tempted to shut her eyes and
do the same thing. Certain it is that
cheese and salads, melons and cut
cucumbers get packed in with butter
and milk and meat until everything
acquires a flavor indescribable.
1t is a pity that all refrigerators
are not made in small alright COM
partments, but some of the most ex-
pensive are not so constructed, and
she who is unfortunate enough to pos
sess one not properly divided has to
IRE extraordinary precaution. 1t is
not possible to keep canteloupe in the
same compartment as the butter, even
though the latter be in a covered stone
crock, without the butter becoming
tainted. Nor can poultry, raw or high
ly spiced meat, be placed near I'M
sealed milk without distinct detriment
to the latter
New York is a city where direct
communication of the refrigerator with
the drain-pipes is tolerated. It would
seem as though in these days the aver
age woman ought to know enough of
sanitary science to refuse to use such
an arrangement, but old German
| women are almost the only per
SOILS who discard the grand
refrigerator built in the house
and use instead a small and in
convenient ice-chest.
! Even with the best refrigerator and
, the utmost care the housewife is some
times confronted on a Sunday morning
with joint Of fowl that is not bad"
but that is suspicious enough to be
Objectionable to the fastidious nose or
palate. If she will send out to the
druggist and get some permanganate
of potash, dissolve it in water and
wash the meat in it, rinsing thorough
~ with cold water, any slight faint
will disappear. Baking soda is often
used for this purpose, but it is more
liable to leave a ''taste" than the pot
ash.
!, This permanganate is also admirable
for cleaning the refrigerator, and in
hot weather should be used once a
week, even though the compartments
seem to be perfectly clean and sweet
smelling.
Much trouble might be saved house
keepers if they would see to it that
their ice is washed before being put
into the ice-chest.
Some provisions should not be put
on ice; every housekeeper ought to
know that all meats raw or cooked,
Hose in juiciness and tenderness by
Its action. For instance, a joint which
was excellent when served hot will
often become tough and tasteless if

every effort of the present administra-

ATTRACTION OF THE ABYSS.
Why People Long to Throw Them
selves From High Places.

| Chevreuls well known experiments
with the exploratory pendulum and the
| diyining rod show that if we represent
| to ourselves a motion in any direction
the hand will uncOnSciously realize it
and communicate it to the pendulum.
The tipping tables realize a movement
we are anticipating through the inter
yention of a real movement of the
hands, of which we are not conscious.
Mind reading by those who divine by
taking your hand where you have
hidden anything, is a reading of imper,
ceptible motions by which your
thoughts are translated without your
being conscious of them. In cases OF
fascination and vertigo, which are
more visible among children than
among adults, a movement is begun
the suspension of which is prevented
by 4 paralysis of the will, and it carries
us to suffering and death. When a
child [ was navigating a plank on the
river without a thought that | might
fall. All at once the idea came like
a diverging force projecting itself across
the gectillinear thought, which had
alone previously directed my action.
1t was as if an invisible arm seized
me and drew me down. I cried out
and continued staggering over the
whirling waters till help came to me.
The mere thought of vertigo provok-
ed it. The board lying on the ground
suggests no thought of fall when you
walk over it, but when it is over a
precipiCe and the eye takes the meas
IRE of the distance to the bottom the
representation of a falling motion be-
comes intense, and the impulse to fall
correSpondingly so. Even if you are
safe there may still be what is called
the attraction Of the abyss. The vision
of the gulf as fixed idea, having pro-
duced an ''inhibition'' on all your
ideas or forces, nothing is left but the
figure of the great hole, with the in
toXicatiOn of the rapid movement that
begins in your brain and tends to turn
the scale of the mental balance. Temp
tatiOn, which is continual in children
because everything is new to them, Is
nothing else than the force of an idea
and the motive impulse that accompan-
les it.

MADAGASCAR ORCHIDS.
They Are Fine Specimens, but Difficult
and Dangerous to Get.

The pursuit of orchids in Madagas-
car appears from a letter of that in
defatigable collector, NJ. Hameline, to
be task of no little danger and diff
Guilty, says the London Daily News.
1t was only after a year spent by the
favor of Moyambassa-a king of a
powerful tribe fiercely hostile to for
eign encroachments-in exploring a
territory almost inaccessible to Euro
peans, that he discovered the gorge
Gus orchid now known as "Eulophiella
Elizabetha." It is a parasite growing
only in a very limited region, and on
trees of slow growth. To secure the
plants which flourish on the tops of
the talleSt of these trees he was oblig-
ed to have the trees cut down and
carefully gather all the plants himself.
Although this French botanist had
well-armed men with him, on whom he
could rely, he was compelled to con-
stantly guard against surprises by the
warriors of neighboring tribes.
! Besides this the party were COM
PEELED to keep a watchful eye upon
the wild animals haunting these
primeval forests. The most terrible OF
all is the Madagascar 'Protocryto-
ferox," whose favorite hauntS are
among the masses of foliage where
the Eulaphiella grows. This small
but exceedingly dangerous animal is
described as crouching in the forks OF
trees, hidden among the rich tropical
foliage and climbing plants, and there
watching for it's prey. It is exceeding
ly agile, and the moment its victim
approaches it slides silently down, an6
in one bound is on the top of it
picture of horrible ferocity.
