A CHARITY PAWNSHOP.

The first establishment under the Char
ity pawnshop law has been opened in
the city ut the United States Charity
Building.
If the design of the promoters is cfn-
GENTLY and honestly carried out these
Institutions win b. of great value to the
poor Of the city who are driven to the
paYpbrokcr to supply their daily wants.
They will now pay I per cent n month
only for interest. instead of 3 per cent.
and the property they pledge will not be
sacrificed unnecessarily II they are UNI
able to redeem 1t.
This is certainly Il most useful charity.
II meets the public necessity at a point
nj which the needy ARE subject to the
y Il cruel exnctions and suffer the
.'cst losses. But 1t will require care
III management to make the scheme Il
success, and people will watch the ex-
pertinent In the first place now opened
with n great deal OF interest. and with
an earnest hope that 1t may succeed.
The Idea Is certainly praiseworthy, and
reflects credit on the benevolent people
who conceived 1t and carried 1t into
practical effect.

CRYSTAL Buns.

Three-quarters of a pound OF butter.
three eggs, ~one-quarter Of an ounce each
of soda, acid and ammonia, one pound Of
powdered sugar, one pint Of milk, more
or less, one-quarter of a pound of grated
.cocoanut and three pounds Of flour. To
mix, cream the butter, and eggs
together; then add the milk, with the
soda and ammonia dissolved in 1t; stir
It; then add the flour, with the cream tar
tar sifted in 1t, also add the cocoanut;
mix all thoroughly. making 1t as tough
as possible. adding more flour or milk. as
the case may be, to form a medium
dough. Then, with a spoon, drop the
mixture onto level baking pans. three
inches apart; make them as rough and
rock like as possible; then wash them
with egg, using the brush with an up
stroke from the bottom Of the bun to-
wards the top, to keep them high; put
a little crushed sugar on each; also some
crystal sugar and a little pink sugar.
Bake In a quick heat, to give them as
much color as you can, SO you bake them
without burning. If o see fit to keep
out the c~ocoanut and substitute sultana
r~aisins, do so, in which case they should
be favored with lemon. Bake them In q
slower heat.

there were six ladies present at the

with II accord and made him wish
that he hadn't dehuted In their society

AND THE MOTHER CAME BACK
just ms Everybody Was Positive
She Had Deserted Her Baby.

There was considerable excitement in
front OF d big dry-goods house on Four
tecnth street yesterday afternoon. A
very young woman wheeled n baby car
riage up to the door and left 1t there
while she went inside to purchase some
thing. The carriage contained Il six
months, old baby.
While the mother OF the child was in
side Il mlddle-aged woman happened
along and spied the child in the car
riage. She fell in love with the little
darling, II when a half hours time
elapsed without the mother putting in
an appearance, the middle-aged woman
thought II was n case of dcscrtion.
She soon had the child in her arms,
and II large crowd of shoppers gathered
about her. Every one wondered how II
could be possible for n mother to be so
cruel as to desert such a very pretty
baby.
one man said that the mother of the
child was probably no different than the
rest of women, and that II she was his
wife she wouldn't run away from the
baby, no matter what else she did, and
Just then the mother came out and
s~natched the ~younrster from the arms
of the other woman. with a remark ia
the effect that some people couldn't
help poking their noses into other peo-
pies business anyway.

Not an Ideal Meal.

A magazine devoted to the interests Of
the table gives the following as an ideal
Sunday night tea: Welsh rarebit,
toasted crackers, preserved ginger. cof-
fee, WATERS" That would be a very
scanty meal for many persons for sew

rarebit. which is served on toasted
bread? And why have both crackers
and waters? Altogether that seems far
from an ideal meal to the practical
