The Last Thatched Cottage In ondon
Probably very few Londoners know
of this interesting relic. which now un-
fortunately appears to DO doomed to the
almost inevitable destruction which is
so rapidly o~yertaking what remains to
us of old London. The cottage is situ-.
ated at the side of Paddington green
near the St. Dayid's Welsh church and
stands in u fair sized piece of ground.
1t is shortly to he pulled down, as a
block of flats will be erected on tho

ONLY A LITTLE SUPPER.
But the W oman Who Knows How to GET
1t Up Is Beloved.

The woman who Is likely TO retain
the affection Of her husband and the
regard OF her friends 70 green old
age is she who has the knack OF get
tins Up dainty little suppers. The
whist clut re oices TO meet at her
house: the home coming from the
theater is almost as full OF pleasant
anticipation as going TO the lay, says
the New York Advertiser. And all
because she knows how TO arrange an
appetizing repdst
She must learn at an early date
that men, most or them, like rather
strongly favored things They pre-
fer Roquefort to Nuefchatel cheese:
they like a dash OF mustard, sug-
gestion OF cayenne in their sand
wches, and they would rather have
sausage than eclairS. Remembering
this fact she does not spread her
after theater table with Jelly cake
and lemonade. Instead she has "a
little pile OF delicious sardine sand
wiches and pot OF steaming choco-
late ready When the club meets at
her house she avoids the regulation
salad, roll and ice style OF refresh
ment and makes instead some de.
licious thing over the chaling dish,
which she serves with crackers and
cheese and the best co,lee she is cap
able OF making
Some OF the dishes which have
proved favorites at little suppers are
easily prepared over chatting dish.
Stewed. panncd, and roasted oysters
are all delicious. Lobster a la New

have been occasions when ''piping"
hot toasted crackers served with thin

The "Millioraires' Club"

The white marble palace at Fifth
avenue and 60th street N,w York,
the future home of the Metropolitan
Club, was opened for private inspec-
tion few days ago. The members
on Thursday will take formal posses
sion. The club house has frontage
of 30 feet on Fifth avenue, and ex-
tends $50 feet on 60th street, with n
wing in the court 30 by 80 feet. The
exterior of the club is i'm the simple
and severe style OF the italian re-
naissancc, modelled after the Roman
palaces OF the sixteenth century.
The interior, however, Is harmoni-
Gus blending Of ancient and modern
styles Of architecture. While the
clNb officials refuse TO sly anything
about the cost OF the club house, it
is generally understood that the lot
cost $3.50 600, the building 81 ,OOO, 900.
and the furnishings nearly 81. 500, =

An Ugly Foe.

OF San Antonia, Texas, who was at

and l have killed a good many Of
them, but on one occasion one OF
them came near putting an end to

rose to its feet, and, with an awful

gun was empty, and knowing my
only safety lay in Hight, turned
and ran over the plain as in as my
legs would carry me. The buffalo,
furious with pain and rage. took up
the chase and followed me i'm lose

the chase seemed TO be inevitable,

discovered in the Antarctic Ocean.
Three schooners having auxiliary
steam machinery and floating the Nor

They met there the Villarino, an Ar

The three Norwegian schooners, which

Great Americans.

Who are our great men that are really
typical Americans? Mr.. Woodrow Will
son undertakes to answer the question
in The Forum. He dismisses Alexander
Hamilton and President Madison as
''great Englishmen bred in America"
On the other hand, however, he classes
Washington. who in many characteristics
resembled these two, as q typical Ameri-
can. He explains it by saying that
Washington was not at all the cold. col
Orless, prudent individuality represented
by his biographers, but was as thorough
ly American us Jackson or Lincoln.
lie informs us that what we take for lack
of passion in him was "but the reserve
and self mastery natural to man of his
class and breeding in Virginia" The fact
that reserve and self mastery are natural
to them will be news to most men of any
class in Virginia probably.
John Adams and John G. Calhoun
come under Mr.. Wilson's category of
great men, but they were not typical
Americans because they were both pro-
vincial, he says-Adams New England
provincial. Calhoun southern one. I'm
Henry Clay we have an American of q
most authentic pattern" while Andrew
jackson, thoroughly great man. was
altogether of the west, we are told. Clay
and jackson were somewhat alike, but
Clay had the "art and sophistication of
the eastern politician" If in these days
the eastern politician has more of art
and sophistication than the western one,
Americans are not aware of it.
Franklin Mr.. Wilson classes as "sort
of multiple American" One would say
he was. A greater brain than his never
blessed this country with its wise
thoughts. Robert E. Lee was great
typical American, too, the writer says.
So was Daniel Webster. Emerson and
Asa Gray, the botanist, belong to the
world, not to America. They 'might
have been native to any Cline"
Abraham Lincoln, however, Mr.. Will
son puts as the supreme American of
our history" Other men belonged to
the east, the west or south. In Lincoln
the elements were combined and har-
inonized. He was genius in the COM
mon thought of the American people
and genius likewise in the mastery of
fundamental politics. "The whole coun-
try is summed up in him."

almost burst with laughter when he saw
his man 80 sailing out into the street,
wi Ii the old violin case Gying after him.
The truth flashed on Hirsch in an in
stunt. Two mutual friends whom Hyde
had let into the secret at the last mo-
ment testified that 10 men had been
passed through on the old case, and
Hirsch paid over the amount of the
wager like man. 1t didn't take the
crowd long to drink up the money, and
when it was gone Hyde was forced to
blow in the money he had collected from
those he had passed in too. That was a
mighty neat piece of work, that was. and
there wasn't another man in New York
but Jimmy Hyde who would have
thought of it. 1t seems that Hyde had
made mp his mind to beat the ball in that
way long before the bet was made, and
that he only accepted the wager because
he saw a chance to rake in few dollars
more.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 17.-That the
steam colliers Montserrat and Keweenaw
have been lost at sea, with all on board,
is now considered almost a certainty.
The Montserrat, from Nanaimo, and the
Keweenaw, from ComoX, B. c., are both
seven days over due at this port. For
several DAYS tugs and coasting steamships
all along the northern coast have kept
sharp lookout, but no tidings of either
steamship have been received. Both ves-
sells were heavily loaded, and the prevail
ing opinion is that they were lost almost
together in the terrific gale that ragged off
Cape Flattery on the night that they put
to sea. The Montserrat, Captain Black
burn. carried a crew OF twenty men, and
the keweeuaw, Captain Jenkins, had
crew of thirty men.
Anxiety is also felt for the barks Ger
mania anu Columbia. The Germania.
laden with coal, has been out thirty days
from Seattle, and the Columbia, with
lumber, sailed from Port Blakely thir-
teen days ago. However, sailing pas
sages OF fourteen and sixteen days are of
frequent occurrence. and but for the
storm which the vessels must have en-
countered no fear would be telt for their
safety.
From reports received to-day it is
positively known that at least four ves-
sells were wrecked during the gale. The
British ship Scottish Dales was dis
mantled off Cape Flattery, but was
picked up by a steamer and towed into
Port Townsend. The bark John Woos-
ter was lost off Gray's Harbor, on the
Washington coast. The schooner Garcia
was wrecked off Tillamook rock. Her
crew of six men is still missing. The
schooner w. L. Beebe was wrecked in
the breakers in an attempt to cross the
San Francisco bar.
All the steamers and sailing craft that
have reached port since the storm report
terrible experiences in the gale, which
prevailed along the coast north of San
Francisco
