DISCOVERY OF CATsUP.
All Through n Mistake I'm Using the
Wrong Ingredients.

FROM the chicago Times.
The discovery Of catsup and how the
odd-sounding name came to be applied
to that common and important table gar
niture was, curlousy enough, due to a
blunder by a preserve maker many years
ago when the canning industry was in its
swaddling clothes. This statement was
made by veteran member OF the West
ern Gamers and Packers Association.
It is only another illustration how mis-
takes sometimes lead to important dis
coveries In the east many years ago a
well known preserve maker, now dead,
while boiling huge cauldron full OF to-
matoes for preserves, one day accidentally
put the wrong spices and other ingredi-
ents into the boiling mass of vegetables.
He did not discover his error until some
time afterward, when, tasting the mixture
to ascertain whether It had been boiled to
the proper consistency, he saw that some
thing was wrong. Tomato preserves new
err tasted like that. He smacked his lips
and puckered his mouth and made
very wry face as the bitter-sWeet and
now familiar pungent flavor Of the mix
ture made itself felt.
well" said he, with a rueful express
sion on his face, speaking to an attendant,

term that the tomatoes had been spoiled.
The whole mess was about to be thrown
out, but, fortunately for catsup-loving
mankind, a happy thought suggested IT.
self to the author Of the trouble. The
taste Of the new mixture still fingered on
his palate, and he had to confess that 1t
was very pleasant.
Il wonder how that will taste on piece
of roast meat" he remarked, and the sug-
gestion was Immediately acted upon, with
the result that the cauldronful Of boiled
tomatoes was carefully bottled, and It
soon became a popular table adjunct and
a source Of great profit to the discoverer.
The name "ketchings" was first used
to designate the new cOndiment. and IL is

proper name is "catsup," from the angry
expletive Of the cook when he exclaimed:

Extraordinary GuIlibiIity of Wo-
man Who Fancied Herself Pos
seSsed of the Devil.
paris Letter TO London Telegraph
An extraordinary case illustrative of
the superstition and gunbility which
render some people an easy prey to de-
signing individuals has just occupied the
attention Of the Amiens police court
At that town lives a venerable maid
who, by some crazy fancy. took it into
her head that she was possessed of the
Evil One" who every night made his
unwelcome appearance at her abode
and sent her furniture spinning In all
directions. She implored the gendar-
merle and the police to rid her of the
diabolical presence. At last a good
natured commissary sent an agent of the
law twho of course saw and heard
nothing to pass a night at her abode.
In her dispair the old lady now had
recourse to a somnambulist, who told
her that the only way to make everything
happy and comfortable once more was
to procure a mysterious mirror which
was then in possession of merchant in
New York, and which she warranted to
act as an infallible talisman. The worthy
dame had no idea of exposing herself to
the dangers of the deep with the inevita-
BILE accompaniment Of NAL de mer, so in
her perplexity she applied to a business
man named Lenne, who consented to
start at once on the voyage on the condi-
ton that his expenses should be paid
Lenne was supplied a first install
ment with 500 francs. but in a fortnight
he reappeared with a story that he had
heard from New York that the talimanic
mirror was in London, whittier he must
proceed. Six hundred francs was given
him for this journey but he remained
in the neighborhood of Amiens, his wife
taking to the old maid letters from
time to time in which he averred that he
had entered into relations with policemen,
lawyers, and even with the "chef de la
marine" but that several thousand francs
would be required to carry the whole thing
wise) was forthcoming, and soon after
wards Lenne got his victim to sign various
promissory notes for him.
At last matters came to head. The
old lady had parted with all her money
and the notes remained unpaid. Threat
ened with a prosecution in consequence
the victim turned on her prosecutor, who
was arrested with an accomplice. Lenne
has been sentenced to fifteen months i'm
prisonment, and the other culprit to
two months for the same penalty At
the trial the old lady expressed the con-
fident hope that she might yet procure the
talisman as the demon was still playing
havoc with her furniture and turning
her house upside down.

Welded IN A VAULT.
Lights Went Out, But the Ceremony
Went on in Spite of That.

From the Kansas City Times.
A marriage in the inky darkness of a
vault is something decidedly unique, but
that is the sort of wedding that oc-
CURED in the court house yesterday morn
ing.
About II o'clock a fine-looking young
man and two decidedly good-looking and
stylfshly dressed young women entered
the recorder of deeds's office and asked
for marriage license, and one was is
sued to William Dray and Viola Rod
erick.
They said that the marriage was to be
a surprise, and requested that nothing
be said about the granting of the license.
Then they consulted together. and finally
asked If they could be married right there.
Recorder Queal FASTENED to the tele-
phone and called up Justice Ebert. Be
fore the justice arrived word had passed
around that a wedding was to occur and
the room was filled with unlimited guests
The groom did not relish this, neither
did the bride, neither did the brides sis
ter, who was of the party. The door to
the large vault where the records are kept
stood invitingly open, and the groom said:
Lets step in here, and the bridal party
entered the vault.
It was brilliantly lighted and filled with
the dull odor of musty records. The bride
glanced ABOUT, ITlB0leHeQ u w. Oul Luth
looked at the groom. and smiled sweetly.
The groom, evidently a brave man, was
not as nervous as the justice, who fun
bled to take from his pocket paper upon
which he had written the words of SIM
pie marriage ceremony.
The door was shut softly behind the
party. and the wedding was screened from
curious eyes.
The justice was getting along fairly well
and had just reached that part in the
ceremony where he asked the couple to
1oin hands, when something happened.
one of the clerks had slipped to the
switchedboard and turned off the lights
in the vault. Everything was as black
as darkest midnight The bride and
groom could not see each other. The JUS
tice could not see them. It was no time to
stop or falter, however.
Find her hand" said the justice. and
the hands came together as though they
had met in the dark before.

law / pronounce you man and wife"
It was over, and Mr.. and Mrs. Dray-
came out into the light Of day as happy
as though they had been married in the
MONDAY glare Of a thousand suns.
