MISTAKEN FOR GUESTS.
Detectives Sometimes Cause EmbarrssI
ment at Social Functions.

Detectives Sometimes Cause Embarrass.
ment at Social Functions.
Detectives when they attend social
functions in professional capacity,
dress for the occasion.
At an afternoon reception they wear
frock coats, and evening clothes at one
at night. The men who do this sort OF
work are generally selected for their
unpolice emanlike appearance. The re-
suit is that they are mistaken for
guests even more often than the wait
ers are, for they are not obliged to
have shaven faces to prevent such
blunders.
A story il told of bride who found
time to notice that well-appearing
man at her reception seemed to know
no one. In her happiness she pitied
his lonlincss, and going up to him pro-
posed to introduce him to some adja-
cent pretty girls. The man became
embarrassed, and murmured something
which she did not understand. She
was about taking his arm to lead him
UP to one of the pretty girls, when her
husband said:
Louisa, what are you doing? That's
the detectiver"
When laughed at afterward for her
mistake, the bride said in justification
of herself that the detective was good
deal more presentable than most of the
men guests.-N. Y. Sun.

LIVING FOR SOMETHING.
Every One Should Have Some Particular
Object In Life.


Nothing within the realm of the pos
sible can withstand the man or woman
who is intelligently and determinedly
bent on success. A great action is al
ways preceded by great purpose.
History and daily life are full of ex-
amples to show us that the measure of
human achievement has always been
daring and doing. If not always, yet
at least often, 1.-THE attempt is all the
wedge that splits it's knotty way be-
twixt the impossible and possible"
What can be done and is worth doing
should be done with dispatch, leaving
the worthless things to those who idle
and loiter along the walks of life.
Every man and every woman has an
assignment in the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of daily life. To live for some
thing involves the necessity of an in
telligent and definite plan of action.
"Life was lent for noble duties, not for
selfshness; not to be wiled away for
aimless dreams, but to improve our.
selves and serve mankind"
More than splendid dreaming, or
even magnificent resolves, is neces-
sary to success in the objects and am
bitions of life. Those who have made
money, acquired learning, won fame
or welded power in the world
have always, in every age and among
all people, done SO by embodying a
well-defined purpose in earnest, living
action. The reason that thousands
fail in their work in life is the want of
a specific plan in laying out their en-
ergies; they work hard for nothing be-
cause there are no orderly or harmoni-
GUS results possible to their mode of
action. Results there are of GER
tainty, but the means are not adjusted
to the end, hence the opposite of sue
cess ensues; the harvest proclaims the
nature and quality of the seed sown.
"Ye can not grow figs on thistles." 1t
is the law.
Living for something definite and
practical, taking hold of things with a
method and will, compels them to
yield their treasures, and thus become
the ministers of our own happiness and
that of others. The great high road of
human welfare lies along the path of
steadfast and systematic we'll doing.
They who are most persistent in
energy and effort in the right direc-
ton, and work in the truest spirit, will
invariably be more successful. This,
too, is the law, in which there is NO
variableness nor shadow of turning

COOKING is A FINE ART.
And as Such Deserves Every HOusewlfe'a
Most Careful Consideration.

Most Careful Consideration.
A correspondent writes that her first
year of married life has been full OF
trials, chiefly because of the incom-
potency of her cooks and her own ig.
norance Of cooking. Such ignorance
could not long prevail if women rea.
lized the Importance of cooking in do
mestic and social economy. Owen
Meredity says; 1--WE may live without
friends, we may live without books,
but civilized men can not live without
cooks" Between the coarse food OF
the savage and the daintily prepared
salad of the modern New Yorker lies a
whole history of civilization.
Many women think that anybody
can be cook; that the preparing of
food is a mental service associated with
grocers' men, with butcher boys and
green grocers men, and therefore be-
meath the dignity of one whose place
is in the parlor. Yet the world could
spare the parlor accomplishments
rather than those of the kitchen. The
worst cooks are the ignorant and un.
educated. The concoetion of delicious
and wholesome dishes requires trained
Judgment, manual skill, and an un-
dertahing of chemical and physical
laws. There is enough science in one
well cooked dinner to furnish material
for text book.
Cooking has also it's artistic side. 1t
should be the pride and pleasure of
every woman to make the dishes on her
table as attractive in their appearance
as possible. No matter how we'll
trained her servants are, she should
have a thorough, practical knowledge
of cooking in all its branches and be
able to give those little finishing
touches which appeal to the imagina-
tion and tempt the appetite. In the
medieval times it was the duty of the
highest ladies in the land to prepare
certain dishes with their own hands
which were considered too important
to be intrusted to servants.
Every one knows of men who are
thankful when their wives temporarily
take Bridget's place at the kitchen
range, because they say that the food
has more delicate and pleasing flavor.
There is an old saying that the way to
a mans heart is by his palate. With
out acknowledging that love is always
born of good dinner, it is undeniable
that one great source of domestic COM
fort and harmony, is well regulated

Curried Eggs.

Delicious curried eggs may be made
by mixing tablespoonful of corn
starch or wheat flour and one teaspoon
full of curry powder to smooth paste
with little cold milk. Pour this into
one pint of boiling milk, stirring until
it thickens. Break an egg carefully in
. saucer, slip it into the boiling liquid
and let it poach until it sets, about two
minutes. Have ready squares of but
tered toast, and as the eggs are cooked
lift them out gently and lay one on
each. When all are done, using as
many as are needed, pour the remain
ing milk around them and serve. They
can easily be lifted out with a perfor-
ated ladle. The eggs may be boiled
hard, cut in quarters lengthways, and
simmered for a few minutes in the
sauce after it is made. The curry pow.
der can be omitted and the eggs served
with cream sauce. favored with a little
nutmeg, in which case you must call
them "creamed" instead of ''curI ied''

FAIRS MILLIONS.

the Age of Forty.

They Were Made After He Had Reached
the Age Of Forty.
In the early seventys Fair was q man
of moderate means. The same age
limit may be applied to most, if not all,
of our Pacific coast millionaires that
is, those who have made their money,
instead of inheriting it. The four bo-
nanza millionaires, Flood, OBrien,
Mackay and Fair, were all men of linn
tied means until they had reached
forty. The four railroad millionaires,
Stanford, Croker, Huntington and
Hopkins, were also in moderate cir
cumstances until they had seen four
decades. But when they had reached
the million mark their fortunes in
creased as only money can.
Senator Fair parted company with
his partners not long after the found
ing of the Nevada bank. O'Brien's
death had been the first break in
the ranks. When Fair withdrew
from the bonanza firm, he with

having made his fortune in the wild
fluctuations of the stock market, he
sought for investments of the most
solid character. City real estate seemed
to be his preference, although he
owned, also, a number of large ranches
in the state. But incidentally he be.
came the owner of railway system,
which cost him six million dollars, and
which he sold for seven million dollars.
He sold to the only corporation which
could have injured his property-the
Southern Pacific-and he made a very
good sale. He improved much OF the
property that he bought in San Fran
cisco, and there are numbers of fine
buildings erected by him in quarter
otherwise filled with old and shabby
structures. The quarters selected by
him was generally looked upon as a de-
clining one-it had been abandoned by
the wholesale merchants, who had
gone further south. But it is near the
water front and in most of the large
cities of the world similar property is
yery valuable. 1t will be interesting
to see whether Senator Fairs judg-
ment in this regard was sound. Al
though the ground is not worth as
much now as when he bought 1t, he
was a remarkably shrewd business
man, and it may eventually justify his
choice. Senator Fair not only erected
buildings on some of his real estate,
but he made other large improvements

THE RIVER CHICAGO.
A Learned Treatise on Its Very Wonderful
Flora and Fauna.

The Chicago river is one of the i'm
mortals; it has personality. Some
people claim it is wet. A flock of ducks
plunged into it and, to their great as
tonishment. slid across. A man who
fell from the Clark street bridge broke
his leg on the surface. He sued the
city for damages. The bricks of which
Chicago is built are made of the river
cut in sections and baked. There are
wild animals in this stream. A res
taurant-keeper swears that he can't
make stew of this water; the animals
eat the oysters. These animals them
selves complain that there is not
enough liquid in the river to keep
them clean. Chicago signs tell you
to boil the water, but add: ''1f it
won't boil, fry it." The odor OF
this stream has been admiringly COM
pared to Samson and Sandow; not
however, when either was present.
The Chicago people are fond of the
odor on that account. 1t adds strength
to the city. Some say the Chicago
river flows up hill. AS there is no hill
in Chicago this proposition is poser.
The United States coast survey de.
tailed an engineer to test this peculiar
ity. The engineer planted his appa.
ratus in the river, but never saw it
again. This was his report: 1.-THE
Chicago river does not flow; it stands
still. 1t has no banks, except the First
national and others. 1t has no bed
like other streams; its bottom is always
on top. The merchant marine ira
verses it on roller skates. In summer
the city is filed with dust. l asked a
civilian whence it came. Why said
he, you must be a stranger in these
parts. That dust blows from the Chi
cago river Judge.
