Anthony Trollope as a schoolboy.

Sir William Gregory gives picture Of
Anthony Trollope at Harrow school that
makes it evident why he was so unhappy
while there. "He was a big boy" says
Sir William, colder than the rest of the
form, and without exception the most
slovenly and dirty boy l ever met. He
was not only slovenly in person and in
dress, but his work was equally dirty.
His exercises were mass Of blots and
smudSes. These peouliarities created a
great prejudice against him, and the poor
fellow was generally avoided. 1t is pitt
able to read his autobiography, how bitter
were his feelings at that time, and how he
longed for the friendship and companion

plenty of opportunities of judging of An

heart smites me soroly for my unkindness,
that l did not dislike him. Iavoided him,

Some Practical Advice ON the Subject Of

Wrapping paper, old newspapers and
the various useless odds and ends that col
lect about kitchen are an awful nui
sance. If you put them in the fire, they
.smudge it ont; if you throw them in the
ash barrel, it soon fills up; if you have no
particular place to put them, they got
around under your feotand annoy you that
way.
All good smooth brown paper should be
neatly folded up and laid on q shelf in
place set apart for it. 1t never comes
amiss to have about You want it for
lunches, to send away packages, to do up
the laundry in. You want it for dozen
things and probably never have a clean
piece at hand. The paper bags should be
put away in the same manner. 1t is a
small economy, but saves a great deal Of
time when you want either.
The Irvine that comes around the pack
ages should be made up in ball and kept
in a tiny box or basket hung high out of
the reach of small hands, yet handy to
run to when you want bit of cord. For
the useless odds and ends make a bag out
of cheap print Or cretOnne, or piece one
out of pretty scraps and lime it so that it
will be strong. One as large as a common
flour sack will not be too large. Gather
it at the bottom and fasten with bow
of cambria, and at the top make wide
hem, into which put a thick wire or small
hoop. Hang this in a corner out of the
way and throw into it all the bits Of pa
per, cloth and trash of that character.
When the bag is full, roll the contents
in a big newspaper and tie with a string
and pile up in the coalhouse till You have
the ashes carted away, and then it can be
carried away without trouble or extra

Tho Torn .cNewspaner Man,

II believe" writes correspondent,
THAT the term newspaper man was the
invention Of The Saturday Review before
its degeneration, when Plancus was con-
sui, and every article in that paper was
intrusted to the most capable expert in his
particular branch. The writer suggested
it as the proper English for journalist, a
term which his soul abhorred as inexaot
as well as un-English. A journalist is
somebody who keeps journal or diary,
and weekly newspaper may as reason
ably be called an annual as a monthly or
a journal. 1t might have been replied
that II newspaper man is the right name
for an editor or contributor newspaper
boy ought to mean a youth who is being
educated to write in newspapers and not
youth who sells them in the streets. -

What May 30 Done with the odorous Lit

The baskets of shallots on the hucksters'
stalls In our great markets are taken by
the average marketer to DO ordinary
onions No doubt many a worthy person
has wondered why marketmen sold red
onions by the quart basket like strawber-
ries. The shallot, however though near
cousin to the onion, is not an onion, but
much more valuable vegetable, selling
for about five times as much as a regular
onion, and It is so excellent for certain
sauces that all that are brought TO market
find ready SALE The shallot has mild
onion flavor peculiar to itself. 1t is the
onion of Palestine, which was introduced
into Europe by the crusaders, who found
it growing on the plains of Ascalon
whence the name Of "ascalot," or "esca-
lot, " which has been shortened to shallot
The deeds of the crusaders are forgotten,
says an enthusiast, but the little onion
lives forever.
Tartare sauce is one of the most excel
lent of the long list of delicious French
sauces, some of which have been known for
centuries in their native country. Tartare
sauce owes its excellence chiefly to shall
lots. True epicures declare that the onion
cannot be successfully substituted for the
shallot in this sauce. Make good mayor
naise dressing of the yolk of an egg, with
oil, vinegar and salt; add heaping tea
spoonful of mustard, 2 shallots minced or
grated, small cucumber pickle minced
and a teaspoonful of capers minced. A
small pinch of cayenne is sometimes add
ed, but this is matter of taste.
A tartare sauce must be pleasantly
piuuant not prepared for "palates grown
callous," but so seasoned as to give the
dish of fried fish or the broiled chicken or
outlet a relish 1t is a good sauce for hot
summers day. Like all the best French
piquant sauces, and unlike English prepa-
rations Of the dcviled variety, tartare sauce
is an agreeable assistant to digestion, not
a stimuIator of an Ovorsurfeited appetite

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.
Two Killed and Five Persons In,
Seriously.

Seriously.
WIBURG, Mass, April l.--Just
before Z o'clock this morning one
OF the boilers in the Conn tannery
in this place exploded with terrific
force, killing five men and injur-
ing six others. The dead are: A
Clemens, foreman; Patrick Lally,
foreman Patrick McGonagle, oiler
Thomas, Patterson, night foreman
Samuel Tracy. There had been
some trouble with the boiler
for some time and early this
morning this was remedied
and by the time the tannery
was opened for the day it was
thought the boiler was all right.
Five minutes before Z o'clock the
whistle was blown to start work.
The rope attached to the whistle
was pulled, and instantly there
was fearful explosion. The big
iron smoke stack on the boiler
house was blown high into the air
and fell across the roof of the shop,
and the tall brick chimney fell in
thousand pieces, crushing the en-
CINE room beneath it. When
the smoke and dust cleared
away a scene OF wreck and ruin
was revealed and the dead and in
jured were removed. Itwas found
that one OF the four boilers had
been blown to pieces, completely
wrecking the boiler house and de-
molishing several sheds near by.
The head Of the boiler fell 300 yards
from the tannery, and boiler tubes
were scattered in every direction.
The falling chimney and smoke
STACK were principally only wreck
ed. The tannery building itself
and these structures will have to
be rebuilt. 1t is not known how
many men were in the tannery
when the explosion occurred, but
when the roll OF employees was
called, seven men were missing. 1t
is not known whether or not they
had begun work when the accident
happened. 1t is believed the ex-
plosion was caused by an eXhaus-
ton of water in the boiler.

MR.MANDERSON'S PLAN
Not Likely to Meet With Much

WASHINGTON, jan. 30.-President
Cleveland's financial message has
again-started the eddies and currents
of sentiment on the financial question
in the senate. While this has not yet
crystalized into definite action, sew
eral incidents occurred in the senate
yesterday which indicated general
tendencies. Mr.. Henderson present ted
a compromise plan. The senator
emphasized the need of concession
and compromise in a vigorous speech,
urging senators to give and take in
order that some common ground for
getting over the financial emergency
might be secured. In replying Mr..
Teller made the significant DECLARE
ton that no such compromise legisla-
ton could be effected at this session
of congress.
The following are its essential
features:
l. The secretary of the treasury to
maintain a reserve fund of 5000, 0OO,-
600 gold and $780, 900, 900 silver.
2. An issue of bonds payable in
either gold or silver at the option of
the holder for the maintenance of re-
serve.
g. Outstanding legal tender notes
to be redeemed IN gold or silver at
the option of the holder and not re-
issued.
f. For the next five years gold to be
exchangeable for silver and silver ex-

s. National banks to be authorized to
use the foregoing bonds as basis for
issuing notes, and the tax on notes to
be removed.
6. Import duties from countries
having the gold standard to be paya-
Bile in gold; and from countries hav-
ing the silver standard to be paya BILE

the factory girls of the Midlands. She
has been interviewed by a representative
of The Woman's Signal of London and
evidently looks upon this growing vice of
gambling among the girls as one of the
chief difficulties she has to contend with
Speaking of the matter Miss KenWard
says
Il have been greatly troubled lately
with the increase of betting among the
factory girls. You have no idea how diff
cult it is to get them to see that there is
any harm in it. A girl in my Sunday
school class-a very good girl in many re-
spects-told me the other evening with
bravado that she had bet to on horse
and made ? shillings. Tell her. was the
message sent to me by another girl, that
any girl in our factory who will not bet is
despised.' In that same factory a clerk
regularly collects the pence from the girls
which they have laid on some horse and
hands it over to the bookmaker.
If you were to stand outside the facto-
ries during the dinner hour, you would
see the betting men taking the bets from
the girls as they leave their work. The
men clerks and the elder women arc in
league with the bookmakers outside the
factories, and it is they who almost com
pei the girls to bet 1 know of one case
where woman made it her business to
plague and worry young girl to take up
betting and made the place so hot for her
that the girl yielded, and it has been the
cause of her entire ruin. Seven of my
girls had been betting on Throstle against
Ladas the other week and won. This
week they have been losing, the hockey
as they called him, having failed. Tho
girls themselves scarcely know q race
horse from a donkey.
I'VE are feeling very strongly about
this vice in Birmingham because of the
attempt to start a race course here and
make it betting center. I am ashamed
to say that there are two women book
makers here. They of course get easy ac-
cess to the girls, and children, too, for even
the children bet. There have been several
raids on betting houses lately. One was
an amusing affair. The detectives got up
a sham funeral and drew up at the house
they suspected to have a drink, saw what
was going on without any suspicion being
excited and made clever capture 1t is,
I believe the first time funeral has been
used for detective purposes
