Care of Fine China.

There is an English custom that has
been imported into this country with
pleasing results, and perhaps has been
handed down from mother to daughter
among an English descended family.
That is the habit of washing the fine
china at the mistress hands. A little
cedar tub is brought into the dining
room, after the meal, or, in some cases.
Il large bowl is set aside for this pur-
pose alone. The lady of the house dips
the cups and saucers into the hot water
with her own dainty fingers. Her lit.
tie daughter has been taught to care
fully dry them. Those who know the
dubious delight OF owning fine table
ware, and sending it into the kitchen
to be Clipped and married, will appre-
ciate this alternative. philadelphia

The lake carriers association conven-
ton held in Detroit was well attended
by vesselmen from Chicago, Cleveland,
Buffalo, Milwaukee, Detroit and other
lake cities. President Thomas Wilson,
of Cleveland, made his annual address.
Secretary G. Ii. Keep, of Buffalo, read
the annual report of the board of man
ayers showing the tonnage increased
from 579,019 tons to COG, 205 tons the
past year. The association now num-
bers 612 vessels, of which 3S4 arc
steamers, ana 22S are schooners or
barges. The average tonnage of the
vessels in the association is almost ex-
actly 1000 net registered tons. The
report deplores such occurrences rs the
assaults upon Shipping Master Feldt at
Chicago and Capt. Lennon at Detroit
in which the assailed were forced to
kill their assaulters in self-defense.
Reciprocity in wrecking privileges
and the end of discriminating tolls in
Welland canal are gladly welcomed.

bill of section protecting ship

loss OF an insured cargo resulting from
negligence or accident after the ship
had sailed, and the appointment by the
secretary of war, under authority of
congress, of board of engineers to
investigate the business of raft towing
in the lakes, which board reported
that the business should oe regulated
by comprehensive laws and penalties,
are all features Of national legislation
which are appreciated by the associa-
ton. The treasurer's report showed
receipts for the year of sec, 742 and dis
bursements $4,000.
James Corrigrn, Of Cleveland, was
elected president for the year. Secre-
tary c. II. Keep, of Buffalo, and Treas
urer Geo. p. Mckay, OF Cleveland, were
reelected.
Uniform bills of lading for grain
and coal shipments were adopted. The
annual dues were reduced to 3 cents
per ton. Committees were appointed
to secure reductions on almost every
thing-for discharging ore, for towing,
for sboveling grain at elevators, for
discharging lumber, etc.

strange suicide mt Port Huron.

H. B. +. Odell, real estate dealer,
of Chicago, committed suicide at the
Huron house, Port Huron, by taking
chloroform and prussic acid. lie had
been there four days, and was quiet,
handsomely dressed gentleman of
about 50. His body was discovered by
n bell boy when he went to call him.
Everything in the room was in per-
feet order, the satchel carefully packed,
and Odell evidently changed his clothes
before killing himself. Near by, on
the stand, was a bottle of chloroforn
and one of prussic acid. A telegram
and note were found on the hall table.
The telegram read: 'cN. H.. Thomas,
Oshawa, Ont, Canada: Mr.. Odell died
here suddenly last night, Come at

was note to Mr.. Knill, which read:
"Please send this first thing in the

Where tho "Brownies" Are Born.


Brownie land-or in Their words
Mr.. Cox's studio, on Broadway, New
York-does not in the least resemble
what we should imagine a fairies hid

dimly lighted room, full of all kinds
of queer old fashioned furniture and
hangings, forming hooks and corners
where the littlo spritcs could play at
hide-and-seek, or conceal themselves
at the approach of human footsteps.
Instead, the room is large and very
light; with five windows through
which comes the continual echo of the
,city's busy life; though there
are, of course coy corners
and hiding places from which the
Brownies might peep to watch their
friend at work. 1t is at very bus
