who, at seVenty-nine. was killed in our

him forsaken on the street. She had spent
her whole life as a teacher, and belonged
TO very serviceable family of teachers
and preachers in New England, being the
only sister of the following ministers: Revs.
E. B. Foster, ID; VIM. Cowper Foster.

our streets. 1t VIII soon be the case that a
woman or child will hardly dare venture
from home. The bicyciist is more danger
on single track. but the bicyclist has no
whereabout to which he is confined. He
turns corner and is on you. and in the
tw.nkling of an eye has done some unex-
pected deed. The prayer From sudden

for the pedestrian of this period.

The Italian Actress Appears for the First
Time in Washington.
4 Splendid Impersonation of Dumas
Heroine Camille mt the Lafayette
Square Opera House.

From Italy, the cradleland of art, comes a
new dramatic star Of dazzling magnitude.
Eleanora Duse made her first appearance
in Washington at the Lafayette Square
Opera House last night, before an audience
whose personnel gave the appreciation which
this actress received more than the force OF
a popular demonstration. The applause she
received was that of critical discrimination.
1.-the Of form, sinuous of carriage, black
haired, ow-browed and intense, she COM
manded the interest and sympathy of her
audience by the ardor of her nature rather
than by polished defamation and studied
poses. Her appearance as Camille" gave
the public as good an opportunity to become
acquainted with her as her repertoire pre-
sents. Most of her plays are not of the
usual list for emotional actresses known in

When recipes call for q cupful it
means just half pint; this amount in
granulated sugar weighs just half a

Salt will curdle new milk so in
preparing custards or porridges the
salt should not be added until the
dish is prepared.
Red pepper pods or a few pieces OF
charcoal thrown into the pot in which
onions, cabbages, etc., are boiled will
prevent the unpleasant odor.
Two tablespoonful of washing soda
in gallon of boiling water makes q
good disinfectant for the kitchen sink.
Pour it in at night, while it is still at
boiling heat.
Tin pans can be prevented from
rusting by heating them and rubbing
we'll with lineeed oil and heating
again. Wood ashes or whiting (Which
is better) mixed with kerosene will
brighten them.
Make list, in the order in which
you pack them, of the contents OF

A SHARP THRUsT.-Some men who
pass for very respectable citizens, aud
who really are not without qualities,
have habit of not only finding fault
with their wives at every provocation ;
but of doing it in terms as no gentleman
would think of applying to any lady
except his own wife, or possibly his
own sister.
There is story that such a man
came home from the shop one night,
and found his wife much excited over
the outrageous behavior of tramp.
He had begged for something to eat,
and not liking what the woman gave
him, had abused her in the rudest
terms.
"Johnny," said the man, thoroughly
indignant, "when you heard that
cowardly rascal abusing your mother,
why didn't you run at once to the
store and let me know? I would
have made short work of him. Didn't
you hear?"
eyes, pa, heard. I was out in the
barn and heard what he said about
the victuals; but"
"But what?"
"Why, pa, I thought it was yor
scolding mother. He used the very
same words you do when the dinner
doesn't suit you. I did not think
anybody else would dare talk tt
mother in that way"
