The edges of a piece that has been
broken and badly mended require the
greater care in cleaning. for if not
thoroughly cleaned they cannot be
made to properly adhere to one anoth-
er. In this sort Of work it is well to
proceed in order with a first Washing
in soap and water and then one in Wit

alcohol. Whatever dirt, glue, grease,
etc, may still remain must be removed
by careful scratching with penknife,

any druggists. But sometimes piece
is missing, and its place has to be filed
with plaster of paris. Again, the sill

valuable specimen, better to replace a
fragment that has been lost or that
has been broken in pieces too small to
be reset, with an artistic mounting in
metal.

Kentucky Burgo1,

A traveller from the South described
one of the Oldest and most
popular dishes in Kentucky, which is
known as "burgoo." 1t is an outdoor
connection and many massive pots of it
are said to have simmered over a hot
fire in the open at political gatherings
in Kentucky. The making of "burgoo'
is thus described: In the bottom of
the big pot some red pepper pods are
thrown, then potatoes, tomatoes and
corn added; then a half dozen nicely
dressed prairie chickens are thrown
into the pot, and also half dozen OF
the latest farm yard chickens are
added; then couple of dozen soft-shell
crabs and three or four young SOUR
rels are thrown on the heap. Enough
clear spring or well water is poured
into the caldron barely to float the
varied contents and then the fire is
started. 1t must be allowed to sim
mer slowly for six hours, and an old
superstition is that it must be stirred
with hickory stick in order to give it
the best flavor.

THE BEST LIFE OF NAPOLEON YET

1t Is by Professor William NJ Sloane and is
not mere series OF reproductions Of prints and
pictures, but historical work OF the first i'm
portance. Professor Sloane has been engaged
upon itfor years. much Ct the time having been
spent by him in France. where he had access
10 the national archives: and all the recently
discovered memoirs and "reminiscences have
been at his disposal. To illustrate this great
history The Century Co. have made special
arrangements with many modern artists for the
exclusive reproduction OF masterpieces OF
modern art relating TO Napoleon, and in addi-
ton, there will be original drawings made
directly for the magazine By great number OF
French and American artists
This is only one OF many features for the
coming year. In addition, such magazine as
The Century" finds it possible in its paper,
printing and general typographical excellence
10 preserve the best traditions OF the art CT
book-making, and each number OF the maya
zine, selling for thirty-ive cents contains in
well-printed and convenient form an amount Of
literary and art material which could not be
secured in ordinary book fern for less than FIVE
dollars. The high standard Of The Century
in all its departments will be more than main

The crow during the odd hours of his

Yesterday in his hole in his wall he

FROM A LIVING TOMB.

There was rejoicing, hearty and SIN
cere, In the Carbonate coal region In
Pennsylvania last night. Four miners
who had been caught by cave-in last
Thursday afternoon were rescued alive,
but very near death.
As soon as the accident happened
a force Of expert and devoted men com
menced the work of tunnelling, and
since last Saturday afternoon have
been satisfied by knockings heard in
side that some at least OF the unfor-
tunate men were alive. The efforts al
rescue were then redoubled, but the
progress was necessarily slow Among
the patient workers was the fifteen.
year-old son OF one OF the imprisoned
men.
1t was not until II o'clock last night
that the men were reached and all fouI
we're found living. The first faint words
heard by the rescuers were: Water
for Gods sake! We are dying"
When the first man, Tom Mitchell
was brought to the surface his wife
who had not left the mouth Of the PHI
for three days and nights, could only
weep silently and clasp him in heI
arms.
When the fifteen rescuers came to the
surface the enthusiasm Of the great
crowd of onlookers was unbounded, and
the brave fellows were carried OF on
the shoulders of sturdy men.
