HaIf-Cleaned Cooking Utensils

Taste.
There are many persons who insist
that 1t is impossible for them to drink
hot water and make all sorts Of disa-
greeable faces about it." said an enthu-
siastic hygiene to writer for the
Brooklyn Citizen. 'I have heard q
great many people say this and for a
long time I could not understand it.
One day dropped in upon one Of my
friends and found her very Ill. made
up my mind that little hot water
would be beneficial and ran down to
the kitchen to get It. While pouring
out glass for her 1t occurred to me
that it was a good opportunity to in

a second glass and after it was cool
enough I attempted to drink 1t. l

tasting mess l think never tried to

for my hot water and take the greatest

perience at my friends house have
had no difficulty in accounting for the
dislike of many persons for hot water"

CHAPTER. II. (Continued)

A clinging kiss emphasized every
word. The fearful Miss Chandler waved
her last adieu from the door. Her
somber companion helped her into the
carriage, and the wheels grinding down
the soft road seemed to be tearing her
very heart.strings, as Hopedale faded
from view In the distance and the yehi-
bounded forward, carrying innocent
Edna Deane to meet a strange, solemn
mystery.
Twilight closed in about the land
scape, as the carriage dashed across
the country for the nearest railway
station. Twilight, folding its mystic
shroud about the old seminary struc-
ture, was shut out securely from one
room at least. :

lar feature Of chirography, hers, 1t

in a bold, masculine hand, and then
with fine one in delicate Italian char

She manipulated the two letters, so
dissimilar in appearance, folded them,

added the superscriptions, and then,
stamping the envelopes, put on her
cloak and hat and stole from her room.

Recovering From an Injury.

One day recently, soon after the hour
OF noon, an individual, who seemed to
be laboring under considerable excite
ment, entered a grocer's shop and
asked for private word with the pro-
prietor. When the request had been
granted he exclaimed:
"I believe myself to be an. injured
husband, and I want to verify my sus-
picions by watching house in the next
street. This can do from the rear OF
your shop. Have you any objection to
isy taking seat at the back there by
the open w1ndow!
The grocer granted the favor, and
the man walked to the back and took
seat on a box of soap and began to
watch. His presence had been almost
fogotten, when he returned to the front
of the shop with hasty steps and said:
"By Jupiter, I'll kill her. Yes, I'll
shoot her through the heart"
Your wife?"
Eyes, my idolized Mary! I cannot
doubt her guilt, and I shall be muir
deper in ten minutesw
The grocer tried to detain him, but
he broke away and rushed round the
corner. Not hearing anything further
of him for half an hour, the grocer be

Senator Davis tells a good story on

to see the place and hunt up the his
toric localities, but when he reached
the hub it was hot weather, 1t was
unusually warm even for midsummer,
and Mr.. Davis went over to Young's
hotel and secured room. Then he
went out to the nearest bookstore, pur-
chased a copy of Virgil and returned
to bis quarters. For theenext four days
he never wen. out Of the hotel and
most Of the time did not leave his
room. During the entire stay he read
Virgil and tried to forget he was on.

poses. to make another trip to New

The Women who Attract Attentso

The elbows are now worn quite be-

fashion mandate, which isn't as absurd
as it sounds, says the Sun, for so uni
versally recognized is the fact that a
fine carriage is one Of the essentials
of prepossessing appearance that the
smart woman carries her head high,
her chest well thrown out. and her ell
bows necessarily fall well back out of
the way.
This is particularly true Of city
women, who >realize that the woman
who makes the best effect is always
the woman who carries herself well.

A e9MEDY AND A CRAWL.

COmEDf AND A CRA WI.
If the latest episode in the Van Allen
scandal is comedy 1t is pretty good comedy
Tine will tell Just what 1t means. Al
present the idea seems to be that Mr.. Van
Allen, of his own free will and accord, feel,
ing that ne was in fslse and dishonorsble
position and that the President was also in
such position, declines to go as minister
to Italy, and thus by fine act relievep
both himself and the President from some
of the odium that has rested upon both of
them. The President, who doesn't appear
to have any such feeling as Mr.. Van Allen
has, tries to dissuade him from carrying
out his intent, but all to no purpose. he
cannot be minister to Italy In disgrace and
he will not by go being minister help to
cast disgrace upon his friend and idol the
President.
1t is a "nifty" performance and is car
ried out 80 eolemnly and thoroughly that
it is rather impressive. But 1t should be
noticed that Van Allen says in his well
constructed letter: "I have never denied,
and do not now deny, that I contributed
to the campaign fund-not 1000, but
yet considerable sum of money" And
1t should be remembered that William G..
Whitney expressed warm appreciation of
Van Aliens contribution and did his best
to get him rewarded for It, 1t should also
be remembered that some of President
Cleveland's most devoted worshippers
protested against the carrying out of the
bargain, that they were the ones who let
the cat out of the bag, and that they tried
to raise money to pay Van Allen back his
considerable sum-"
The performsncslo looks like both comedy
and "crawl" And the depth of Van
Aliens respect for public opinion seems to
be only equalled by the depth of President
Cleveland's contempt of public opinion.
