A Jealous Army officer.

From The Texas SiftIngs.
one of the highest officers in the Ger
man army is very particular that his SOL
diers are properly fed. He is in the habit
of making unexpected visits to the bar
racks and inspecting the food In person.
On the occasion of one of these visits he
perceived two soldiers carrying steam
ing boiler from the kitchen. Put 1t down.
Fetch a spoor," he commanded The as
tonished soldiers looked at each other. one
of them rushed Off but reapPeared in a
few moments with a spoon. Il want to
see what sort of soup you get" said the
general as he dIved into the boiler with the
spoon, but as soon as he tasted 1t he spat
n out, exclaiming: what sort of devils
broth Is that? 1t tastes like dish water
What is 1t, anyhow That's just what
1t is. your excellency," replied the soldier.
Its the water the dishes were washed
in"

CLEAR THE SLEEPING ROOM.
Keep 1t Free From Heavy Draperfc
and Many Ornaments.

hcep free from Heavy DrOpertCS
and Many Ornaments.
From the Globe-Democrat.
In the modern mania for decoration the
bed chamber has suffered more than the
drawing room. In the latter a cluster OF
furniture and of bric-a-brac and useless
yards of scarf are perhaps pardonable. In
most cases there is family sitting room
relieved Of lumber. where space is obtained
and the air less vitiated by dust catchers.
But in sleeping rooms where persons pass
nearly one-tEird of the twenty-four hours,
during which time they are in a passive
condition, when germs of dust and disease
are readily absorbed, 1t is sin to accumu-
late lot of rubbish. even If that rubbish
passes under the head of aesthetics
We see directions for hanging the walls
with cretonne. costing "only $50 per
yard" or with chintz. at a still higher cost.
The furniture is also covered with chintz
or cretonne showing running vines or floral
designs in the style of Louis XIV or his
successor. These materials are always pop
ular with the French, and are readily re-
placed by fresh when soiled. =
Without doubt they are bright and at
tractive But what Of the emanations of
the breath Of the sleeper? These cling to
such fabrics. which cannot be taken off and
aired like bed clothing. In case of illness
such hangings are positively deleterious
The first requisite, coming even before
thought of decoration, is cleanliness.
Years ago Florence Nightingale told En-
glish people that their thick curtains and
bed hangings were an abomination From
the results of long observation and expert
ence she knew that the less material to
hold dust and bodily emanations, the better.
In the first place, an all-over carpet is a
mistake. Stain a floor border some tint not
too dark-oak or cherry is good. Pine,
either finished in its natural color, with
wood filler and spar varnish, or stained q
light cherry, is best. On this spread rug,
soft, thick and rich as you choose, but a
rug which can be shaken every week that
the room is occupied. Between times it
may be run over by carpet sweeper. The

| to fall on the walls and bedding the better

A Beverage for Wheelmen.

Next to being lost at sea there is
nothing that brings on the pangs of
thirst quicker than bicycle riding.
The hot sun and the constant inhala
ton of dust quickly parches the throat
and makes the biker long for the next
stop for refreshments. The wise
rider avoids ice water, well knowing
its danger. Alcoholic beverages are
likewise tabooed because of their heat
ing propensities, and there is little
satisfaction in wishy-washy stuff sold
under the broad classification Of ''sofl
drinks" A we'll known wheelman, in
speaking of this, said:
"What to drink is no easy problem
to man on long, hot run. The
only drink l know really fit for a bicy
Gle rider is Hires Rootbeer, carbona
ted. There are but few places now
at which it cannot be had, and | tel
you it braces one right up, seems to

pedal workers. 1t is cooling and re
freshing, quickly lowering your tenn
perature and fully satisfying You
thirst. l tell you there's nothing like
il, and I've sworn off all other drinks
when on the road" Hires Rootbeer
carbonated, is made from the famous
Hires Rootbeer extract by the same
formula, without adulteration of an
kir.d. Besides being delicious it pos
sesses many medicinal qualities, max
ing it as popular with wheelmen ant

Row to Serve Fruits.
MUCH OF THEIR DEI1CACy OF FLAVOR
DEPENDS UPON THEIR TREATMENT.


Fruits are delicious when Joined
with either claret or white wine into
drink for hot weather luncheons or
dinner--the more fruits the better.
Pineapple lemonade is delicious al.
so. 10 slice pineapple is to offend
the gods. Get the peel off and then
shred the fruit with stout silver fork.
Granulated sugar is an abomination
on fruit use powdered sugar and sift
it before sending it to the table.
A fruit dish that will tempt the ap-
petite OF an invalid-and, of course,
of anybody else--is peach foam. Put
a cupful of fine peaches (cut into
small bits after peeling) in bowl with
half cup Of powdered sugar and the
white CT one egg. Beat with a silver
fork until you have a creamy, velvety
mass, which will take about half an
hour. Chill in the refrigerator and
serve. Whipped cream should always
be served with sliced peaches to hide
the discolorations that cannot be pre-
vented.
Grapes should be dipped in ice
water two or three times and drained
quite dry before serving. 1t is better
to wash them over night if designed
for breakfast.
All fruits look nicer on delicate,
light china. A few leaves in the frui,
dish add wonderfully to the effect up
on the eyes, and the eyes coax the ap
petite when nothing else will.
Melons suit our end of the century
palates best when they are chilled
Watermelons should never be sliced
but should be scooped out in an ap
petizing pink mass after having beer
on the ice for some hours. The bes
way to serve large one is to divide i
into quarters and send one quarter tc
the table on large platter. BY scoop
ing the melon in serving there is M
rind to be given to the guest to foI
and founder about in his plate.
Canteloupes should be served il
halves. Therefore, select the smal
ones. Half the people who serv'
them send partially green ones to th
table. The ripe, butter yellow one
have the incest flavor, and they usual
ly have very dark outer skin. Scrap
the seeds out and drain each half an,
serve with couple of spoonfuls @
cracked ice in the hollow left whe
the seeds disappear.

IRISH SUPERSTITION.
An Extraordinary Case of Murder in the
Emerald Isle.

An Extraordinary Case of Murder in tho
Emerald Isle.
WArERFo ', Ireland, March ga
most extraordinary case of murder aris-
ing from superstition was inquired into
to-day by the special court of Clomnel,
twenty-five miles from here. Ten per-
sons were arraigned before the court
charged with numbering Mrs. Cleary.
The prisoners included the murdered
woman's husband and father. The evil
dence shows that she was suffering from
nervousness and bronchitis, and her
husband believing her to be bewitched
obtained concoction from a herbist of
the neighborhood. While the other
prisoners held the unfortunate woman
in bed he forced the concoction down
her throat. After this, the suffering
woman was held over fire and dread
fully burned until she declared that she
was not Cleary's wife. This torture was
repeated on the following. day, after
which Cleary knocked her down,
stripped off her clothing, poured paraf-
fine over her body, then lighted it, and
the woman burned to death in the pres
ence of six male and two female rela-
tives. Cleary declared that he was not
burning his wife, but that he was burn
ing witch, and she would disappear up
the chimney. The husband collected
the charred remains and buried them.
The prisoners, who were remanded, es-
capped lynching narrowly, and had to be
escorted to the Jail by strong force OF
constables.
