TO TURN BACKS ON ROYALTY.
Emperor William Devises Schorne of
Protection Against Bomb Throwers.

Emperor William Devises n Schorne of
Protection Against Bomb Throwers.
There are fashions in everything, in
Guiding the protection of prominent
persons when they are on parade.
The most recent regulation concern
ing the protection of life in Europe.
says the New York Sun, is that OF
Kaiser William. Some time ago there
was good deal of socialistic agitation
in Berlin, and it was claimed that the
anarchists would attempt TO throw
bomb at the emperor as he drove
through the city on his way to a re-
view. The route of the carriage was
lined with policemen, and back of
them was the customary mob of sight
seers on either side of the way The
kaiser gave orders that as the royal
coach approached the police, who had
heretofore always sto ID with their
backs TO the crowd, so as to salute the
celebrities as they passed. should turn
their backs to the street, face the
mob and step back two PAGES from the
front line of the crowd. 1t was further
ordered that the crowd should be kept
on the sidewalks, so that the carriage
would be at some distance from the
line of sightseers on either side. These
orders were carried out, and they ap-
pealed so strongly to the Russian am
bassador that he communicated them
to st. Petersburg and they have now
been adopted by the Russian police.
BY keeping the crowd well back from
the carriage considerable motion was
made necessary on the part of an an
archist to threw bomb successfully,
and, as the police were numerous, his
actions would be seen by one of tho
guards ii those functionaries were at
all wide awake. The Russian police,
in addition to adopting these measures,
absolutely surround the carriage OF the
emperor with horsemen.

THE HOUSEWIFE IN SUMMER.
Some Hints for Making Even Hot Kitchen
We X EndurabIe.


We X EndurabIe.
This is the vitching season of the
year when housekecper is willing to
barter almost any possession for cool
ness. Yet she frequently has meals 10
prepare. washing and ironing to super
intend, preserving tofattend to and ap-
parently endless duties to call her to
the kitchen continually. She is par
ticularly blessed who has that room
known as summer kitchen, separated
from the ordinary living rooms by a
covered passageway. But outside Of
Dixie land those kitchens are few. The
best substitute for them is big gas
stove.
All meals. even the most elaborate,
may be prepared on q gas stove. Wash
day need have no more than its Gus
tomary terrorS, for any amount of
water may be heated on a gas stove.
Ironing days viii also pass as easily
as ironing day ever can pass.
Jellies and pickles may be made
even more easily than on the usual
range, for the heat may be more ac-
curately measured. Just as soon as the
fire-rcquiring work of the day is done
the gas may be turned off and the room
cooled with all possible speed.
Sensible attire viii also tend 10 miti-
gate the housekeeper's summer hard
ships. Charming as it is To be always
trig and crisp in freshly-laundered
ginghams, it is also heating. Starched
clothes are as much warmer than un-
starched ones as wooicns are than
lawns The best plan for the woman
to adopt who IS compelled 10 be a good
deal in the kitchen is TO reduce her IN
dcrclothing to the mini'nam in Weight
and number and to wear soft shirt
waists and skirts. A bodice with a
ruffie about the neck is quite as pretty,
except with tailOr-made clothes, as a
stiff-coilarcd one, and it is infinitely
more endurable in the kitchen. The
little blue and white checked ging
hams are petty if mad IL this way,
and have the additional charm of not
soiling easily.-N. y. World.
