There is a certain good woman, the
wife of prominent lawyer of Texas,
who had never lived out OF the coun-
try in which she was born. Her hus'
band attended the courts at the difier'
ent towns of the State, and his wife
listened to his experiences with Won
der and surprise. The Saturday Ga
zette gives this story:
He never grew tired of extolling the
virtues of "a big glass of iced tea
when q man is warm and tired" and
when a new railroad line waslaid out
to his native town his firstcommis'
sion was for a quantity Of ice.
The wife was neither surprised mol
displeased to have a we'll filled ice
chest, and on the morning after the
arrival OF the ice the lawyer request
ed her to have iced tea for supper.
1t was an extremely warm day, and
when he took his seat at the table he
was hot, tired and thirsty.
What was his surprise to see, instead
of the refreshing, amber beverage ol
his souls desire, the same old steam
ing Brown Betty teapot and the cups
and saucers of former days.
"Where is the iced tea, Mary?" he
asked.
"There 'tis," she answered, laying
her forefnger on the Kissing lid Of
Brown Betty; land if you can tel
any difference betwixt it and plair
. water tea, you're smarter than | be-"
She had boiled the ice.-4outh's

Library Etiquette.''

It is bad form for a guest to take
books from the bookcases without per-
mission. In many instances they re-
main in the guest chamber, TO oe re-
placed by some member of the family
who requires them for immediate use
Magazines, periodicals, papers are fol
the library table, and should be lefl
there. Order and consideration for the
desires of all are among the canons OF
good society. The best seat by the
Cheerful blaze should be for the invalid
or elderly person. Age and sickness
demand courtesy that should be on
all occasions extended to them. 1t is
their prerogative. Don't fail in prop
er attention to elderly people. DON'T
stand before the fire to the exclusion OF
the warmth from others. Don't fail
in good manners in anything"
There are three articles that should
be chained to the library table-the
paper cutter, scissors and pencils lor
family use. It is the displacing OF
these little instruments OF usefulness
that disturb the disposition, irritate
the temper, end are among the causes
of the hasty word and the unkind
thought. :,
"The borrowed book" What text
for a sermon, said a clever author.
If books are borrowed, mar them
not; neither turn down the leaves,
and above all, be careful to return
them in as good state OF preservation
as when borrowed. To write on the
margins is objectionable, vulgar, Ill
bred. And so the library has its et-
iquette, social laws and good form. In
this inviting place the inmates ENJOY
the calm repose, the new books, the
firelight's sparkle. Here they pen the
loving words, and in this sanctum our
intellectual life grows, spreads and
digests. 1t is the room OF sweet DIS
order, where dead authors lie and give
US all their gems of thought and In

HOuSeh old Hints.

Dry the tin dishes before putting
away.
Never wash raisins that are to be
used in sweet dishes. 1t will make
the pudding or cake heavy.
To make brooms last longer than
they ordinarily do, dip them once q
week in boiling suds. This toughens
the strands.
Test your bluing by adding some
washing soda to it in solution of water.
Ifit turns reddish it is Prussian blue,
and to be avoided because it is compos.
ed of iron, which becomes decomposed
by the use of soap and soda, and makes
irOnrust spots.
Articles of food that are damp or
Juicy should never be left in papers.
Paper ia merely q compound of rags,
glue, lime and similar substances, with
acids and chemicals intermiXed, and
when damp is unfit to touch things
that are to be eaten.
Peanut Candy Two cups of white
sugar, one-half cup of water; let it boil
then add one half teaspoonful of cream
tartar dissolved in little cold water
Cook until when dropped in cold
water it is brittle, then add lbutter the
size of an English walnut, and cook q
few minutes longer. Pour over the
shelled nuts, already spread in buttered
tins, and set away to cool.
Green Tomato Pickle-One peck Of
tomatoes, one cup of brown sugar, two
tablespoonful of horseradish, foul
onions, six peppers, one Tablespoon
each vf cloves, allspice and cinnamon
Split each tomato and slice peppers ant
onions. Lay them in stone jar
Sprinkle in teacup of salt. Pour of
the water and cook with vinegar
enough to cover, adding the sugar
and spices. Do not cook until th'
tomatoes are soft. They should, how
ever be thoroughly scalded. Pack il
jars and pour on vinegar to cover.
For cleaning tinware there is moth
ing better than dry flour, applied will
q newspaper. After being thorough.
washed in very hot soapsuds and wip
ed dry, tin vessels should be set on th'
top of the stove for few moments ant
then vigorously secured for few
moments, with the dry flour rubbed
on with wad of ofnewspaper crumplet
and softened. In this way tinwar'
may be kept free from rust and almos
as bright and glistening as silver, care
being taken that it is never put away
damp and that it is kept in dry
place.

NO HURRY ABOUT 1T.
Home Rule Will Not Be Taken
Up at This Session.
Premier Gladstone Gives John Red.
mond Some Plain Talk in the
Commons.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The parliamentary
secretary of the Colonial Office, Mr.. Bux-
ton, in the Commons to-day said the latest
information was TO the effect that King Lo
Bengula was not fugitive, but was still
hostile. According to Buxton the war can
not be said to have ended. and no action
taken on the case Will prejudice the Gov
ernment's final decision as to the future of
Matabeland. Gladstone said the Govern
nent had no intention of setting apart a
DAY for discussing the Matabele question,
as Labouchere proposed, whereupon La
bouchere said he would soon take steps to
obtain day.
Sir Edward Gray. replying to Sir George
Baden-Powell regarding the seizure of the
Henrietta in Bering Sea. said the Govern
ment had fled protest against the action
Of the United States authorities.
Gladstone. replying to John Redmond's
question. said that the Government felt ii
to be its duty to coDfne the business of the
present sittings to the parish council bills
and the employers liability bill, as well as
to the final disposition of bills passed during
the earlier portions Of the session. The
Government proposed to reserve the power
of taking up any non-coDtinuous bills il
there was pressing necessity for so doing
and if it was the general desire of the
House to so do. The Premier then re-
minded Redmond of the statement made
by Chief Secretary Morley that the bill for
the relief of evicted tenants would be in
troduced during the next session.
Sexton reminded the House that both
sides had agreed that clause 13 of the land
act of 1891 could not be regarded as con.
tluuous
Chief Secretary Morley said he was will
ing to entertain proposal for a renewal
of the clause if Balfour would consent,
and Balfour, in reply. said that he could
not possibly give his assent to the intro
duction of fragmentary bill.

WILL BE RAMMED AT SEA.
There Will Be Battle Off Sandy
Hook.
NEW YORK EXCITED ABOUT 1T.
But the Representatives of PeixotO
Go On Calmly Fitting Out His
New Navy.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The World has the
following: There may be fine marine
battle just outside of Sandy Hook within
the next ten days. 1t is declared that Ad-
miral de Mello is negotiating for the pnr-
chase of two large ocean-golng tugs here TO
be used as rams to punch holes IN the Ei
Cid as soon as she shall turn the Hook to
leave American waters.
The fitting out of the new Brazilian
cruisers, Ell Cid and Britannia, was pushed
along to-day with vlgor. The stateme mt
to the effect that the Custom Ouse au-
tn critics were under the impression that
Flint & Co. were violating the law IN en-
listing men at this port for the Brazilian
Government was declared at the Custom
house to be mistake. The Cust0m-nouse
authorities say that any violation OF The
law would come under the notice OF the
United States District Attorney.
1t is given out in official circles that the
authorities at Washington have fully
considered the enlistment question, and
found, as has been stated, that In shipping
men for Brazilian ships there is no viola
laton of the law.
So far as can be learned, Ell Cid will de-
part from this city nylng tne American
flag. The Britannia. being British mer-
chant vessel, will fly the British flag. The
two vessels will probably raise the Bra
lillian flag on arriving in Brazilian waters.
The only real difficulty which at present
appears to threaten the new Brazilian
navy is the possible complication from
the action of LaSsor Of the Ericsson
Coast Defense Company. who threatens to
get out an injunction 70 prevent the clos
ing of the sale of the Destroyer. On the
other hand, Charles r. Flint to-day said
he anticipated no serious trouble in re-
gard to the Destroyer or her gun. and he
confidently expected that she would put to
sea with the FL Cid.
Brazilian Minister Mendonca denies the
report of the sinking of the transport Rio
de Janeiro by the Republica. He says the
Rio de Janeiro has been anchored off Rio
Grande do Sui for the last two months.
An important newspaper in Buenos Ayres,
however, says that it has information
from trustworthy source that the casu-
atty really happened and that HOO men
were drowned.

MAYOR OF CHICAGO.
Wrangling at an End and Re-
publican Alderman Elected.

publican Alderman Elected.
CHICAGO. Nov. 6.-The wrangle over the
election of Mayor pro tenn. was settled to-
night by the choice of Alderman George f..
Swift, he receiving 62 votes to for Alder
man McGilieD, one blank being cast The
Democratic Aldermen, who met early in
the day but were unable to get quorum
owing to the absence OF the Republicans,
remained in the council chamber until the
time for the regular meeting this evening,
in order to keep McGillen, their man, in
the chair on the plea that the original
meeting. of which he was chairman, had
not adjourned. The Republicans, who
had been secreted in a room one square
from the City Hall to keep out of the
clutches of the sergeant alarms, marched
over at 1880 o'clock this evening. The
leaders of the factions quickly got together
and it was decided to avoid any repetition
of Saturdays scenes. Everything was
wiped off the slate and new vote taken.
McGilleD, who was chosen chairman on
m notion of a Republican Alderman, ap-
pointed the same tellers as on Saturday,
and the ballot was taken. When the
count was completed it was found that
some facetious Alderman had cast two
votes, so the ballot was thrown out and
another taken with the result as above.
Swift was then sworn in. The special
election for Mayor to fill out the unexpired
portion of Carter Harrison's term will be
held next month

STREETCAR RIOTS.
Laborers in rlarseilles Beyond Con-
troll by the Police.

MARsEILLEs, Nov. 6.-The employees OF
the streetcar lines are on strike for more
wages and fewer hours. They began riot
ing yesterday, and continue to-day, aided
and abetted by many citizens. They have
overturned many of the cars which the
companies attempted to run. and satu-
rated some with kerosene and burned
them. They also tore up the tracks and
absolutely blocked traffic in some of the
principal streets. The police are utterly
powerless to deal with them. The stables
of the companies are already under mill
tary guard. and it is thought it will be
necessary to send soldiers to disperse the
mobs before the day is over.
Rio,ing continued through the after
noon, fifty cars being overturned and
smashed. At conference between dele
gates from the horsecar companies and the
municipal authorities one of the directors
accused the Mayor Of melting the popnla-
tion against the company and insinuated
that the municipal authorities instig ated
the strike. The Mayor lodged complaint
against the tramway directors. whom he
charges with having insultcd him. The
directors continue at large.

AN OLD STORY NOW.
No Money to Enforce the New
Anti-ChineSe Law.
How the Administration VIII Find
Way to Favor John Once
More.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 6.-Although Con-
gress amended the Geary act. so as to al
low the Chinese six months more within
which to register, it adjourned without
making an appropriation to carry out the
provisions of the act. ,rhe chairman of
the Committee on Appropriations knew Of
the Treasury Departments need of money
TO carry out the law, and it is aprobable
that if the urgency deficiency bill had
been passed clause appropriating enough
money at least to begin operations would
have been inserted in the bill. AS it is,
registration under this act will not begin
until an appropriation can be made.
Meanwhile, the Internal Revenue Bureau
of the Ire asury Department will make all
its preparations. and as soon s the money
is available 1t will be prepared to assign
its officers. so that they can begin work at
once. The bureau has assurances that ef-
forts will be made to get the bill through
in the early days of the session. so that
the work of registrat will not be long
deferred. 1t is said all the Chinese now
in this country, approximating 100. 600. can
be registered in sixty days if they prompt
ly take advantage of their opportunity.
Notice was given last week that to-day
application would be made to the Supreme
Court of the United States for leave to
file a motion for a writ of mandamus
directed to Cornelius B. Hanford, Judge
of the United States District Court for
Washington. Judge Hanford refused to
issue a certificate OF naturalization to a
Chinaman of his district who applied
therefor. and the writ Of mandamus is
sought to compel the granting of the certi-
fcate. This is one of the parts of gen.
eral plan which, 1t is understood. has been
formed to test the entire series of anti
Chinese measures. The motion was Of
fered by SOlicitor-General MAXWELL.
