The Gold Cure sor Sore Throat.

A well known Portlander wears o
necklace. and Is no dude, either. He
Ia exceedingly sensitive to sore throat,
and he believes the gold of the chain
protects him from 1t. When he was
married his wife found that he on
stantly wore a string of gold beads
around his neck. She had little faith
in their remedial property, and when
the string broke one day she was In
no hurry to replace 1t. But her hus-
hand came home with a bad sore
throat and she was so converted to this
gold cure that she bought him a chain
that would be less likely to break
than the string of beads. He has
probably worn gold around his neck
for at least twenty years, and you
can't convince him that it's merely q
whim.-Lewiston tMe.D Journal.

THE FAMILY DOESN'T MIND.

E.E
A PecuIiar Domestic scene In q German
saloon In New York.
There Is q popular German restaurant
and saloon en- upper Third avenue which
is much frequented by families living in
the neighborhood. The saloon is sepa.
rate from the restaurant proper. The
cooking is very good, and the prices are
very reasonable, and as d result the pre-
prietor has grown wealthy.
An odd and interesting feature of this
resort is the family dinner, which oc,
ours about Z o'clock every evening. The
family consists of the big, broad shout
dered host; his small, angular wife; .
jolly sister-in-law; three little girls, a
small boy, and a governess whose fea-
lures clearly indicate her New England
origin. They all sit down together ut a
long table, which is placed not in the
restaurant, but in the center of the sa-
loon. All around are tables at which
sit jolly jewellers, and frequently during
the dinner hour a-crowd stands leaning
against the bar.
The family does not seem to mind The
saloon surroundings, and, In fact, rarely
does any one Of them glance MP from
the table. The only interruptions arr
when some of the habitual frequenters
come up TO talk with the host or hi
wife. The children chatter and carry
ON just as though they were In a phi
vate dining room. It gives q. homelik'
and domestic air to the saloon which
probably could not be duplicated in an,
other hostelry on Manhattan Island
The only person who seems to be ill a
ease is the Yankee governess. New

Plas.er Casts.

1t is often possible 20 buy pretty little
figures in plaster whose only offense
is the whiteness OF the material OF
which they are made, These can be-
waxed or oiled by those understanding
the process, but neither result Is en-
tirely satisfactory to the artistic eve.
A recent experiment with such figures
has proved SO successful, that I give
the details for the benefit of others.
Have a mixture of burnt sienna and
white lead made so that the color shall
be O rich terrn-cotta. Equal parts OF
oil and turpentine should be used, and
the paint applied to the figure with an
artists brush. A double layer will
bring out the shadows where such are
needed, and If the figures are to be
placed OH wood work they may be var
nished. Two that l have just finished
are perched on the corners of a cherry
over-mantel, and no one would suspect
that they were not a part of the origin
al ornamentation, for they are so high
that details Of carving could not be ex-
amined.-Harper's Bazaar.

Better Than . Savings Bank.

Is an Investment in Real Estate.
it cannot be stolen, neither can it
be destroyed by fire. 1t is a saw
ings bank which never breaks, and
t pays large interest to its deposl-
tors. 1t has been truly said that
real estate is the basis OF all
wealth, and he or she who possesses
it, be the quantity ever so SMALL
has something tangible on which
to rely in times of adversely. as it
always has a fixed value, which
cannot be said of perishable prop
erty.
The owner of a piece of real es-
tate is the owner Of a
HON +,
or that out Of which he or she can
make a home at pleasure, and the
time is not far distant when the
owner of a home will be independ-
ent indeed as we'll in this country
as it now is in foreign countries.
Every person expects to be the
owner Of a home sometime, but
he masses of the people let the
opportunity for securing a home
pass unheeded, and soon prices and
terms of payment are beyond their
reach, and the consequence is they
live and die without a home, as
poor when they leave the world as
when they entered it, never having
acquired a portion of the earth as
their own. when a little exercise OF
good Judgment at the opportune
time, and a small outlay, would
have secured to them a good home
and the money which they spent
for rent during their lifetime
could be applied to the comfort
and enjoyment of life, or laid BY
for a "rainy day"

PEARY'S PATTY HOME.
His Wife and Most Of His Comrades Ar
rive In PhiIadelphia:

PHILADELPHIA, September 25.-The
members of the second Peary expedi-
ton and the auxiliary expedition sent
out by the Geographical Club of this
city-arrived here this afternoon on the
steamer Falcon, which sailed from
Falcon Harbor, Greenland, on August
26. All on board were we'll. Lieut..
r. 2. Peary, II. L. Lee, and Matthew
Henson, the explorers servant, re-
NAMED at Falcon Harbor to complete
the explorations next season.
The Arctic party was met off Chester
io the Delaware River by a tugboat
which left Philadelphia with NUM-
Der of relations of the explorers and
members Of the Geographical Club on
board, among the latter being Prof.
Angalo Heilprin, who commanded the
Peary Auxiliary Expedition in 1892.
When the tug steamed alongside the
Falcon three cheers were heartily
given, and the old whaler was saluted-
by three shrieks from the tugs wbis-
tie. Members of the welcoming party
jumped on the Falcon, and, after nuns
erous handshakings, all made their
way to the after cabin in which Mrs.
Peary and her infant daughter were
awaiting the visitors. Mrs. Peary
greeted each with smile and hearty
handshake, and the baby was fondled
until it was tired. The visitors exam
ined. the ship, petted the dogs, and
looked with interest at the y year-old
Eskimo girl whom Mrs. Peary brought
from the Arctic regions.
Mrs. Peary's little daughter, who was
borc at Anniversary Lodge, Peary's
headquarters, on September -, last
year, grew rapidly and was never i'll a
day until the ship reached st. Johns,
when the change Of water and food
made her i'll for short time.
In the hold of the vessel were twen-
ty-five dogs, while four others were
upon the deck. They all appeared to
suffer from heat. Strewn about the
vessel were memeptos Of the cruise,
consisting of snow shoes, spears, horns
and tusks, canoes, and other adjuncts
of an Arctic trip.
When the Falcon had docked at
the Washington street wharf the mem
bers of the party separated, Mrs. Peary
going to her home in Washington.
