wrote a p.ath-ned Repentance.

In the Century, Professor IL H.
Boyesen writes an interesting sketch
OF the mother Of the Russian novelist,
Tourgueneff. Her life was one long
tempest Of passion. filed with cruel
ty va her serfs and abuse to her
children.
Her constant occupation in her de-
clining years was playing at soli-
taire. Though she was sutieriaF
from dropsy, and consulted the most
famous physicians, she blandly dis
regarded their direct rules, and fol-
lowed her own sovereign whim. For
long time she ate nothing but
grapes, and finally her diet consisted
solely of ice-cream For entertain
ment her daughter read 70 her the
latest French novels. Before her
death, on November 16, 1850, she
sont for her sons, who both hastened
TO her bedside. But only Nicholas
found his mother alive. When Ivan
arrived she had already expired.
Before drawing her last breath, sbo
scrawled these lines ON piece Of
paper:
My mother, my children, forgive
me! And thou, Lord, forgive mo,
too; for pride-that mortal sin-was
always my cardinal sin"

The Little uousekeepers.

What pretty things can be made out
of paper? Here is n needle-case made
by little girl about 10 years old. She
made it for her mother and did it
without any help. 1t is such a dear
little thing that all girls should make
one for theft own workbaskets. The
little girl who made this one does not
like to sew; so she managed to con-
trive the whole thing without taking
n stitch. First she got piece of stiff
drawing paper and cut it ten inches
long and four inches wide. This she
marked off with dotted lines. Along
the lines she cut to point, and
through it made short slit
with n pen-knifc. Through this she
pushed the end of a ribbon, and fast
enod another ribbon in the same man
ner. She then got some bits of pink
cashmere, which had been left over
from her last party dress. She pinked
the edges and fastened them together
with piece of pale pink ribbon,
threaded in and out through little
holes she had cut in the cashmere.
She fastened this to the inside of the
case with mucilage, and then made
another for the lowe: half of the case.
The decoration on the outside, the
maker explained, was an original de-
sign. The flowers are of the same
shade of pink as the ribbon, and the
dots are put on with gold paint

SHAVING SECRETS.
Betrayed by u BARBER Of the Highway
man Kind.

1t lacked but few minutes OF 9
o'clock, the hour OF closing the bar-
ber shop in question. The proprie-
tor had already gone home, leaving
only his head man and three BARRIERS.
The three chairs were occupied and
another customer was waiting when
/ entered.
The waiting customer was young
man. whose frowsy head told plainly
the work he wanted done. His ap-
pearance was exactly the kind to I'LL
a barber with aspirations, especially
Just before closing time. The three

around him and tucked a towel about

that made him gasp. He then seized
his scissors, and the next moment
the air was filed with flying hair.
He went over tho young mans head
like lawn mower over grass.
The other two BARRIERS chuckled to
themselves and exchanged occasional
winks. One OF these turned his
customer out of the chair and began
to prepare to leave the shop. The
third one soon finished his job and
motioned to me in sickly fashion.
"ShaveP" he inquired in a gentle
voice

replied.
The result of this answer was
dreadful. The barber turned to his
companions and broke out in a volley
of Italian. When he had finished he
turned to me and said it was too late
to get all that work done. told
him to go on, that it was all right,
and he uublushingly replied:
"Ah, yes. But how much? | can't

the job for that. How much viii
you give me?"
"A quarter" | replied, rather
peevishly.
"Good, good'' he exclaimed as he

of the mysteries of his business and
how the highwayman features of il

The Picnic Sandwich.

Now Is the season for picnics. And
1t is at picnics that sandwiches should
alas! that they so rarely do-attain
perfection. The basis of successful
picnic is cloudless day, u merry
company and sandwiches that are
without fault. Therefore, having
ordered the right kind of n day, and
bidden the right kind of n company,
do not neglect to make the right kind
of sandwiches.
Sandwiches may be so thoroughly
unpalatable that not even the appe-
tite engendered by morning in the
open air will care to tackle them, and
| again they can be so daintily pre-
pared that one could eat forever, feel
ing that never was anything so good.
The bread of which this latter sort
are made is never more than day
old. 1t is cut in thin, square slices.
from which all the crust has been
trimmed, and then across the center
diagonally. The butter is as fresh as
cowslip and spread thinly and
evenly.
Now as to filling: Unless they are
special favorites the ordinary chicken
and ham can be dispensed with and
the following more savory ones put in
their place. If the meats just men
toned are used remember that tho
thinnest possible slices are far mora
appetizing than chunky bits and that
mince that has been reduced to u
fine paste is even better.
dainty chicken sandwich is made
by using cold boiled chicken choppal
fine and rubbed to a paste with a
spoon. Add to each cupful little
salt and two tablespoonfuls of melted
butter. Butter the bread and slice
thin, spreading the paste lightly upon
it. Cheese sandwiches of Gruyere
minced fine, with little made
mustard, are delightful. So are those
of caviare, over which lemon is
squeezed and n tritle of cayenne pep
per added. Radishes and pickles also
make savory sandwiches.
Watercress sandwiches are especial
ly nice. Chop the cress until it is
almost paste, then mix with home
made mayonnaise or prepared salad
dressing and spread thin between the
slices of bread.
Anchovy sandwiches are made by
soaking anchovies in milk after bon
ing them and spreading together with
a layer of chopped watercress.
Cucumber sandwiches which re-
quire the cucumbers cut in slices and
dressed with vinegar and oil. These
are particularly palatable in summer.
Lobster and Egg Sandwiches
Pound lobster, egg and butter to-
gsther with n tritle of cayenne ard
ono Or two capers and spread. Shrimps
or potted crab meat may be subst
tuted for lobster.
Mushroom Sandwiches-Stew the
mushrooms and squeeze little lemon
over them, adding a tritle of pepper
and salt. When the sandwiches are
made they should be wrapped up in
waxed paper, as this keeps them
moist and also prevents them from
associnting with the other good things
prepared for the feast.-Chicngo

A DIAMOND FROM THE DEPTHS
How Captain Peterson Got Rich Salvage
From Lake Eric.


From Lake Eric.
Captain John Peterson OF Dunlsirk
and the lake Erie tugboat Staufler. "
said New York commercial traveller
to journal man. "has diamond
ring, which. aside from its rare val
ue, is priced almost beyond price by
it's possessor, owing to the singular
manner in which it came into his
possession.
Captain Peterson is one OF the old
est lake shippers in the service, and he
keeps at it now just because he likes
it, for he doesn't have to, as he has
laid by Il snug something for all the
rainy days that may come as long as
he lives. One night year or SO
ago the captains wife awoke, some
where along about midnight, and
heard someone in her room. She
screamed scream that woke her
husband wide open, and he saw a
man hurrying toward the window of
the room. The captain jumped out
of bed and got to the window in time
to grab and recover his wife's $500
sealskin coat, which the burglar had
under his arm. But the thief got
away.
Next morning the captain dis
covered that his gold watch and
chain were gone. The timepiece
was worth $3.50, and Captain Peterson
went out on the lake that morning
feeling blue enough.
1.-The business that called him out
on the lake that morning was to
haul in number of seines which had
been dragged by a heavy storm three
miles from where they had been set
He felt so bad over the loss of his
watch that he tried to get some
other tugboat master to take tho job
off his hands, but everybody was
busy. and the captain had to go him
self.
"When the last seine had been
hauled in he saw something sparkle
in the sun on the edge of the net.
He looked to see what it was. and
was astouished to find n ring en-
tangled in the cords 1t was black
with mud all but in one spot, and
that sparkled like an electric light.
When the captain came ashore he
took his singular find to ieweer
and asked him what it was worth.
When the jeweler told him that the
sparkle came from n diamond and
that the ring was good for the best
$500 bill that was ever turned out,
Captain Peterson forgot all about be-
ing blue over the loss OF his watch.
1.-The jcweler said that the ring
had undoubtedly been many years at
the bottom of the lake. 1t might
have belonged to someone who went
down with one of tho humorous
wrecks that occur every year on lake
Erie. Captain Peterson had several
offers of more than twice the market
value of the ring for it, but he re-
fused them al"

FreCkIgs,

1t is said that one of the most frc-
quent causes of freckles is defective
digestion, and that proper diet will
often cause them to disappear. Brown
bread and all coarse foods, also veg
etables, are recommended. Tea and
coffee must be abstained from, using
milk as substitute. Turkish baths,
If not indulged in too freely, are
good. A well-known lotion that will
not injure the most sensitive skin
consists of one-half pint OF sour milk
and half an ounce of grated horse
radish. Let it stand from to IL
hours and wash the face several times
a day. This simple remedy is usually
effective. Washing the face in sat
urated solution of borax in rose water
is very pleasant treatment and
equally beneficial.

The swell ParIr Restaurants.

The day of exorbitant prices in
swell Paris restaurants is at an end.
The revolt of the public, begun few
months ago, has driven most Of the
famous establishments into bank
ruptcy and now compelled all the sur
vivors to reduce their charges just
one half. The panic among the pro-
prietors is SO great that even the
Maison Doree was compelled to an
nounce last week that it is not among
the places which are about to close
their doors. Vefour's, Bignon's, Bre-
bant's and the Cafe Richie are among
those recently closed. Others which
maintain high tariff are trying to live
on the patronage of visitors, being
boycotted by Parisians.

Hints for Reading.

A writer for young people advises
that they read always with an atlas
and dictionary at hand, and carefully
locate every place mentioned, rs we'll
as look up the meaning of all the
words new to them. This might
make slow work of reading, but think
how much knowledge one could thus
acquire. The same writer urges boys
and girls to read aloud in the home as
often as they can and practice on the
article they are to read until they
can do it so well that it will be a
pleasure to hear them.
A United States senator once told
:ne that the habit of his life had been
to choose n subject, and for months
read everything he could get get hold
of on that subject, until he felt that
he knew quite good deal about it.
People say of this man: "What fund
