sleeves were draped puffs, with tight
manches. The pearl gloves had a quill

ending with fancy bows. The parasol
was Of gray silk, with scarlet blossoms
sewed along the upper edge, while it
was lined with pale pink chiffon ruffles.
The fat gray, rough straw hat was

shoes. There was question among

There are plenty of children at Long

Beef is the staple. With the beef YOU
may combine veal or the bones of roast
fowls, if any are on hand. Pork OF nut
ton must not be used. The best cut Of
beef to use is the sticking piece, Y which
is also about the cheapest. This holds
more Of the juices Of the meat than any
other, az it j. part Of the neck, and
the carcass is hung head downward to
drain. A few raw beef bones make
good addition, because of the fibrin
they yield.
Place the meat and bones in a stone
pot or one Of agate ware. An iron Dot
will not do. Cover Well with plain Wa
ter, or, if you have it. water that d
fowl has been boiled in Put nothing
else in. Sailing it at first viii toughen
the meat and weaken the stock. Do not
under any circumstances boil the water.
Let the meat simmer for 10, 12 or IA
hours, the pot being tightly covered, to
prevent loss by evaporation. Skim care
fully and frequently
About two hours before taking it off

use for fiavoring and put them into the

they will injure the stock When it is
nearly done, salt it to taste. Remove
the bones, meat and vegetables, now
useless, and strain carefully. Put the
liquid in stone pot. If tile same one
is used, wash it and cool it first Let
the stock cool thoroughly, and then
place it ON the ice. 1t will become a

is extremely valuable in many dishes

1t particularly good to give strength
and flavor to all or nearly all gravies

it while yet warm, before they are

having oil for basis.
Perhaps its daintiest use. and the one
least appreciated because least practiced
is in the making of strffing for roast
fowls and meat. d. a. CURTIS.

trimmed The waist was snug and
tight, opening in front over lilac silk
vest front, this being covered on the
bust by plastron Of rich butter colored
lace, with four rosettes of lilac silk mus
lin, one at each corner. There was a
full stock collar of this. There were
very stiff bretelles of serge. The sleeves
were double puffs, ending at the elbow
with cuff of lace over lilac silk The
ribbon belt was slightly draped and had
looped bows on each side. This by no
means completed this quaint costume,
for there was a white india cashmere
long shawl, with deep lmotted fringe
This was to be thrown around the neck
if necessary, but really intended to hang
gracefully over the arm. The hat was a
rice straw, with scalloped braids, and
the brim was bent into two sharp dents
on the right side and dipped down in
front nearly to the eyebrows
There was an upright bow Of white
ribbon and a bunch of shaded violets
The gloves were white, and the parasol
of iridescent silk, combining green and
violet The whole costume was striking
and had an indefinable suggestion Of
coming change about it. Perhaps it was
the tipped hat, perhaps the manner the
hair was arranged, but those and the
scarf made up some of the coming events
whose shadows are cast before.
Gathered and plated skirts are seen
daily as a mute protest against the Sc
verify of the paquin and godet skirts.
Some of the new designs show a clear
attempt at draping up the sides Of skirts
and the insert of panels to break the
monotony Many new designs, partic-
ularly ON light materials, show flounces
and pufings There is very delicate
and pretty new stuff called silk barege.
This is printed in all sorts Of patterns,
but the ground color is always soft aud
of pleasing tint. The material is soft
and fine, but not strong 1t is semitrans-
parent. There was gown of this worn
at Long Branch. The color was soft
dead leaf shade, with dark green broken
diagonal stripes, and over it all a vague
design in old rose, like some leaf The
skirt was gored, but gathered little at
the waist. Around the bottom there was
double ruching Of silk muslin the
same shade as the dress, with emhroid-
cred edge in old rose. The back Of the
waist was of the barege, and the front
gathered in a blouse vest of old rose silk
Grape. The stock is of this, and the vest
is bordered with ruching similar to
that on the skirt The sleeves end at the
elbow, and there il brown ribbon
sash. The fancy sunshade carries out
the scheme Of color perfectly The large
hat is covered with bows of dark brown
ribbon, dark tea roses and foliage.
Another striking costume seen ON the
promenade i'll the same place was of sill
yer gray alpaca. The skirt lay in box
plaits around the bottom and was slight
ly gathered at the waist. There was
stiff belt covered with alpaca. Down
each side of the front was laid a piece
of white lace insertion, which ended
under rosette of very pale rose chiffon.
The waist was laid in blouse, with
wide lace inserts, and finished ON the
shoulders with chiffon rosettes. The col

WHAT A FROGS cRoAK DID.
A Peculiar Incident That Led to the In

Peculiar Incident That Led to the In
vention of the Telephone.
1t is not common knowledge, except
TO those familiar with electrical and
telephone history, that the first telephone
was constructed in Racine, Wis, and
that the inventor, DR.. S. d. Cushman,
is now resident of Chicago. His offices
are in the Stock Exchange building.
Here the venerable inventor, who built
the first telegraph lines in this part of
the "far west" pursues his business
with more alertness i'll affairs than the
average young man.
In a corner of the room is large,
worn piece Of muslin, ON which is
painted in thin color representation of
telegraph line stretching away in the
distance, connected with a crude instru-
ment set ON two logs, near which frog
is sitting by a stream. This old relic
represents the telegraph line of "good
cedar posts" which DR.. Cushman con-
structed west from Racine for the Erie
and Michigan Telegraph company in
1851, and the experimental lightning

1t is reminder of the days when Dr.
Cushman was associated with Professor
Morse in the pioneer days of telegraphy.
On his desk is the first telephone trans
mitter, constructed in 1851, 25 years be-
fore the Bell patents We're taken out. 1t
is a small, square box, with a speaking
orifice and containing mechanism on
the same principle as that of the modern
transmitter.
In 1851 DIR. Cushman undertook the
construction of a lightning arrester. his
object being to take the lightning that
struck the wire and run it into the
ground, the instrument being so CON
structed that it would not interfere with
the light current used in telegraphing
This instrument was placed out on the
prairie on two logs, and in order to
know when it had operated triple
magnet, with sheet of thin iron at
the poles, similar in construction to a
modern receiver. was placed in the
corner Of the box. In case the lightning
passed through the instrument the cleo
tro magnet would pull this strip of iron
down into the range of permanent
magnet, which would retain it until the
instrument was inspected.
A similar device was placed in the
basement of the building at Racine and
connected with the other end Of the line
One day while thunderstorm was com
ing up and DR.. Cushman was watching
the instrument the croaking of frogs
was heard l3 miles away. This is the
explanation of how the old painting
with the crude instrument and the
croaking frog is identified with the dis
covery of the telephone.

fire alarm system in use in Chicago. His

A Russian philosopher, Professor
Sarkschevitch, has just demonstrated in
The Voprosy Filosofye the definite su-
periority Of man over animals and Of
woman over man. He has discovered
that intellectual force is in direct ratio
to the weight not only of the brain, but
also of the spinal marrow. Upon this
principle he has prepared the following
table in which he finds the comparative
intellectual value Of different species Of
animals to be a. follows: The crocodile,
;vthe rooster, Is; the pigeon, 2. 5 the
sheep and the horse, 2.5; the cat, 3 I;

THE ORANGE BLOOM

Like all familiar customs whose origin
is lost in antiquity, the wearing of
orange blossoms at a wedding is ac-
counted for in various ways. Among
other stories is the following pretty legend
from Spain:
An African Prince presented Spanish
King with magnificent orange tree,
whose creamy, waxy blossoms and Won
derful fragrance excited the admiration
of the whole court. Many begged in vain
for branch of the plant, but a foreign
ambassador was tormented by the desire to
introduce so great curiosity to his native
land. He used every possible means, fair
or foul, to accomplish his purpose. but all
efforts coming to naught he gave up in
despair. The fair daughter of the court
gardener was loved by young artisan,
but lacked the dot which the family con-
sidered necessary in bride. One day,
CHANGING to break off spray of orange
blossoms the gardener thoughtlessly gave
it to his daughter.
Seeing the coveted prize in the gi,P s
hair, the willy emassador promptly offered
her sum sufficient for the desired dowry
provided she gave him the branch and
said nothing about it. Her marriage was
soon celebrated, an son the way to the
altar, in grateful remembrance of the
source of all her happiness. she secretly
broke off another piece of the lucky tree
to adorn her hair Whether the poor
gardener lost his head in consequence of
the daughters treachery, the legend does
not state, but many lands now know the
wonderful tree. and ever since that we'd
ding day orange blossoms have been con-
sdered fitting adornment for bride.

VICTOR AND spoILs
A DEMOCRAT


To the Editor of The Herald THE
eyes of many of the inmates Of the Sol
diers Home have for a log time been
scanning the Los Angeles morning dailies
to see how our worthy County Clerk, Mr..
II. e. Newlin, would announce the ap-
pointment of his deputy here at the
HOME, owing to the deputy's protested
political opinions if he has any. which
/ very much doubt. But so far our search
has been in vain. 1t has always been
conceded. if l am not mistaken, that to
the victors in any political struggle all of
the emoluments pertaining thereto, be-
longed, but this appears to have been en-.

low one, from anyone who differs from
me in political opinions. Not so. however.
with William Woods, who has announce
ed himself as Mr.. Newlin's deputy at the
Home by publicly posted circular. Now
William Woods represented himself to
Colonel Messmore as the Democratic "bell
wether" at least before the late election.
If not why did the Colonel tell Chairman
Ladd to go to him Woods if he wanted
further advice or instructions. Can it be
possible that Mr.. Newlin could not find
one of his own political faith here in the
Home to fill this position with credit and
honor to both of them without selecting
a man who worked and probably voted
against him and then turns a somersault
and drops on the Republican side for such
q small office? What Mr.. Woods politics
are at present do not know. The DEM
ocrats have repudiated him. How Mr..
Newlin's party regard him perhaps line
from the County Clerk in any of the Los
Angeles papers would inform us and
your readers. Yours respectfully,
