Little Supper Dishes.

The new cheese sandwich is meant to be
eaten with theater Suppers, cooked in a
chaflng dish, or at luncheon, for II needs

American cheese must be melted with a
dash of dry mustard and cayenne pepper.

oysters. For these two tablespoonfuls of
butter must be melted In half a pint of
cream. along with a very generous pinch
of salt and a dash of pepper and a little
grated nutmeg. This must be all permitted
to boil up. when a tablespoonful and a half
of very finely crushed cracker crumbs,
sifted and stirred in, are required. lmme-

WRITING.
Use Discretion i'm Putting Your Secret
Thoughts In Ink.

Grange Homes.
Beware of the letter-writing habit. Re-
member that the presidency; yea even
thrones, have been lost, and heads have
fallen all on account Of letters. They have
been the undoing OF many a woman in times
present as well as in times past. and
in spite of this don't" there probably
will be in times to come. Write only the
letters demanded by the family relations
and by the courtesies of life. Cut them all
short. Then you will not write things that
will cause trouble. Say nothing of people
with pen and ink hat you would not say
viva voce. Thus shall you avoid much un-
pleasantness.
Letter writing is a snare. Don't be caught
in it. Remember that your bosom friends
may leave your letter around careiessly
where other eyes may see IL, or in time
she may cease to be your hearts delight.
and all the secrets you have told her will
rise up before you in a perpetual night
mare.
In writing to your fiance remember that
he may have been somebody else's fance
before he was yours, and that he may
even be somebody else's fiance in future.
In fact, remember that the position Is not
always a permanent one. Don't pour Out
your affection in epistles that will make
you blush when he returns them, and still
more when he doesn't return them at the
end of the engagement. Then, again. If you
refrain from correspondence no long line
of unanswered letters will rise up and
disturb your peace and laziness. Let other
people write letters. AS for you-don't.

Duty on Imported Cards-Domestic
Reven1e Duty Under New Law.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Prior to the passage of the Mckinley
from abroad was 100 per cent. The Nc
kinley bill changed ii to a specific duty of
man bill has again changed ii TO another
rate-lO cents a pack and 80 per cent. ad
valorem in addition. The manufacture OF
playing cards is quite a business, which,
however. does not seem TO require. some
manufacturers think. the protecting arm
or the federal government in order to be
sustained on a prosperous basis.
The Wilson-Gorman bill imposes a duty
not only on imported playing cards, but
well. Section Y of the revenue clause de-
clares that upon every pack of playing
cards manufactured or in the possession
OF a dealer after Aug. l, 1894. a two-cent
be affixed. Section 73 declares that the
person using such stamps must write
thereupon the initials of his name and the
date on which such stamp is attached"
There is a penalty of $50 for using any
Section "A of the tariff bill Gevenue
clause) declares that every manufactures
of playing cards must register with the
collector OF his district his name or style,
place OF residence. trade or business, and
the place where such business is TO be car
rled on" The penalty for failure to do
this Is so. Playing card stamps are to be
Kept on hand by the various commission
ers of internal revenue, and any person
who shall forge or counterfeit a stamp or
commit any fraud connected Herewith, or
have In his possession any washed, re-
stored, or altered playing cards stamp
shall, on conviction. be punished by a fine
not exceeding $1,000. or by Imprisonment
for a term not exceeding five years, or
both.
Any manufacturer Of playing cards who
exposes for sale playing cards without the
required stamp subjects himself to their
contscation. The tax is payable by the
manufacturer. who is liable for it. and not
by the retail dealer, but any vendor who
exposes for sale playing cards. either of
Foreign or domestic manufacture. without
the stamps required by law, becomes sub
Ject to the same penalties as the manu-
facturer would be for a like offense. The
claim has been made that the new tariff
bill provides the duty on imported cards
only when the packs do not exceed fifty
four cards, and hence a pack of fifty-fve
cards might be imported free of duty, but
this contention is not generally regarded
among manufacturers as sound, for the
new law says "at a like rate for any
number in excess of fifty-four.
During the civil war. and for some years
after It's close, there was a stamp tax on
playing cards, and in 1853, according to the
revenue reco-d, 1000, 600 such stamps were
used. The playing card manufacturers
feel much more concerned over the revenue
clause OF the new bill than over those sec
tions which provide q duty on imported
packs of cards.

What a vast deal of comment and query

unquestioned in the study of music. The
fact is, musical education, from a rational

of ideas and suggestions bearing on this.
and certain faithful laborers in the field

The W TIIeT.
The gibberish that sometimes appears in
the middle Of a sentence or a paragraph in
newspapers that use the type-setting ma
chimes simply means a space left blank to
be filled up in the corrected proof. The
compositor throws the type in higgledy-
piggledy. just to keep the required space;
occasionally the proof is not corrected, and
SO the jargon slips into the newspaper. The
Boston Transcript observes, apropos of
