Nice Way to Serve Eggs.

This is the recipe for eggs stuffed
with watercress. 1t is pretty and pal
atable dish, made by boiling hard as
many eggs as will be needed. Throw
them into cold water, remove the shells
and cut the eggs in halves. Take out
the yolks carefully without breaking
the whites. Add to the yolks teaspoon
full of French mustard, tablespoonful
of melted butter and two teaspoonfuls
of finely-minced ham or tongue and
season with salt and pepper. Rub all to
a smooth paste and fill the whites with
the mixture and serve on a bed of water

Pursued by a Mad Bear.

A ranchman In Jackson's Hole, Idaho,
set trap for wolves, and on the next
day found that black bear had been
trapped. The skin was no good, how
ever, as agrizzly had attacked and killed
the captive. literally tearing him to
pieces. The ranchman reset the trap,
and the next day found that the grizzly
had been caught in it, but had run away
with the trap and log. The man start
ed off on the trail, and after mile chase
came across the trap with half the
lear's foot in it, either chewed or torn
eff. While looking at it, the grizzly
hove in sight, wild with rage, and the
ranchman, after firing futile shot, ran
for home. He reached his cabin in
safety, and it was two days before he
yentured out after his trap.

ARealIv wonderful Flower.

The most wonderful flower in the
world, as well as one of the very largest
blossoms " known, is a native of the
Malay peninsula. tits simply gigantic
flower without either stem or leaves,
and has more the appearance of q
fungus than anything else. 1t is about
three feet in diameter and has glogu-
lar central cup which has capacity of
nearly two gallons. This cup is always
filled with fetid liquor which attracts
an immense swarm of flies and other
insects. The pistils of this queer flower
distill the liquid anditis believed that tho
rank odor attracts the flies in order that
the flower may be fortified.

The Florence flask, used by the Ital-
ians principally for putting up wine, is
Iound-bottomed and covered with
wicker work. AS soon as the water in
the flask becomes heated streams OK
fire issue from it in the shape of min

moved and reapplied three or four times
the upper surface of the flask becomes
dry and the particles adhering to the
side of the flask scintillate like stars,

stars will shoot from side to side. Such
exhibitions as these are strenuously
condemned by practical chemists.

Influence of Beautiful Objects Upon the

At a teachers convention in Detroit
lately a lady, speaking about the In
fuence Of beautiful objects upon the
character and conduct of young pupils,
told pretty story received by her from
an eye witness, and thus reported by
the News-Tribune. The occurrence took
place in New York.
Into school made up chiefly of chill
dren from the slums the teacher one day
carried beautiful Gala lily. OF course
the children gathered about the pure,
waxy blossom in great delight.
"One of them was little girl, wait
of the streets, who had no care bestowed
upon her, as was evinced by the dirty,
ragged condition she was always in
Not only was her clothing dreadfully
soiled, but her face and hands seemed
totally unacquainted with soap and wa
ter.
"As'this little one drew near the love-
ly flower, she suddenly turned and ran
away down the stairs and out of the
building. In a few minutes she re
turned with her hands washed perfectly
clean, and pushed her. way up to the
flower, where she stood and admired Il
with intense satisfaction.

Coffin, "that when the child saw the lily
in its white purity, she suddenly re

BABY'S RUBBER TUB.
The Latest Continuance to Find Its Way
Into the Tyrant's Den.

The Latest Continuance to Find Its Way
: Into the Tyrant's Den.
The modern baby-that is, the silver
spoon-in-the-mouth type of the species
is the best groomed, most luxurious
little animal extant to-day.
His wee realm, over which he sways
the scepter of absolute autocracy and
exercises a will power beside which
hypnotism pales, approaches the Mos
lem heaven in the sybaritic luxury of
its appointments. For many and con-
slant are the requirements of a thor
oughly up-to-date baby, and the nurs-
cry, into whose hushed and sacred pre-
cincts none but mammals bosom friends
are ever admitted, is literally lined
with the trophies of inventive genius
and artistic skill which have been i'm
pressed into service to conduce to baby's
comfort and happiness.
But once you find the open sesame to
his exclusive "den" and set foot upon
the magic threshold you will find baby's
quarters "study" in both mechanical
and decorative art, while not lacking
in interest as financial problem. Yes,
baby things come high, and the array
set forth in an up-to-date nursery would
quite appan US were we to count the
cost of the several articles, but we don't,
for there is nothing too good for that
little soft mite of humanity; and so it
happens that inventive genius has been
pushed to the limit and can seemingly

toilet articles dainty enough, soft
enough and expensive enough with
which his infantile highness may be
suitably groomed. A late contrivance
which has found it's way into his bower
of diaphanous laces, ,clouding pillows
and pillows of palest blue-baby's own
color-is a new kind of bathtub, and
when we behold it in its ideal perfec-
ton and simplicity we can only wonder
that it has not been thought of years
ago, for it promises to do more to in
sure luxurious comfort and lessen the
probability of "squall" on the per-
fumed waters of baby's bath than any
thing yet invented.

ELIZABETHPORT,N N. j., Dec 31.-The
gunboat Annapolis was successfully
launched at 10:30 o'clock this morning at
the Crescent shipyard here. Miss Georgia
Porter, granddaughter of the late Admiral
Porter, christened the new addition to the
navy. The Annapolis. authorized by act

already slipped off the ways.
The Annapolis length over all is 200
feet and between perpendiculars 16S feet.
The mean draught is II feet. which ex-
perts say is light enough to permit her
navigating shallow waters, such as are
found on the China coast and the rivers OF
this country. Her engines will develop
800 horsepower and her contract speed is
twelve knots. Her main battery consists
of six f. inch rapid-tire guns aud Sec
ondarv battery of four 6-pOunders and
two 1-pounder rapid-fire guns. The new
vessel will have a complement of nine
officers, ten marines and 125 ue-jackets.

SN0WST0RMS IN THE EAST
Holiday Traffic Is Seriously Interrupted
IN New York and Other Atlantic
Coast Cities.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 23.-Snow fell
at intervals throughout the day, making
street traffic difficult in the city and in
terfering considerably with railway busi-
ness in the suburbs. Nearly all incoming
trains were behind schedule time and
those from the north and west report bad
drifts, owing to the high winds which
have prevailed In Brooklyn and the
upper part of this city there is good sleigh
ing for the first time this winter
The STRENGTHENING department had sew
eral thousand carts at work and the most
important streets were kept comparatively
clear. The storm caused a lull in the
holiday trade at the shops, and the de-
livery systems and express companies,
whose facilities have been taxed to the
utmost by the heavy trade, were given an
opportunity to catch up.
In Jersey City the police were called
upon to prevent fights between trolley
car employees who ran sweepers over the
cartracks and piled the snow up in front
of stores and merchants who put gangs
of men at work shoveling snow back upon
the tracks. Th- trolley companies finally
agreed to remove the snow and hostilities
were averted.
Reports from the interior of this State
and New England are that from ten to
fourteen inches of snow fell and the roads
are being operated with difficulty.
