How Could They Refuseo

An energetic woman about 80 ear
old applied for work at the office of the
United States Rubber Company, in
New YORK City. and was told by the
clerk to go upstairs and see the fore
man. The woman, not knowing the
way, went out into the yard. and, See
ing no other way to get up. she tucked
UP her skirts and assembled the fire es-
cape to the fourth story. There she
opened a window and climbed in. to
the surprise Of the foreman. who was
standing near by. The foreman. after
recovering from his embarrassment.
asked her what she wanted. The wom-
an stated her mission. She got the Job.

Seeing Is BELIEVING.

It does not seem possible to blow out
q candle through a brickbat, yet those
who have tried it say it can be done.
Most rooms are largely ventilated
through their walls, and the brick and
mortar are merely very rudimentary
lungs, which take in and throw out
the atmosphere with but little him
drance. You may try the expirement
yourself. Place a candle on the other
side Of your brick and use two fun
nels. with the faring ends on the oppo-
cite side of the brickbat, with the small
end OF one in line with your mouth and
the other turned on the candle fame.
The least breath will make the light
flicker and a hearty expiration will
extinguish 1t altogether. Try it and
nee.

DRYING THE HAIR AT A COLLEGE.

Don't dry your hair out OF the
front windows!" This was one Of
President Nead's late. edicts to the
students Of Mount Holyoke College
who have outer roons. The college
building is in the form Of a hollow
square, and many Of the rooms look
out on a court. Since this proclama-
ton these rooms are filled, on sunny
Sunday afternoons i'll Particular, with
maidens of d~isllevclled t~resses. "The
thing" is to seat ones self, back to
the open window, and let the mass of
hair which has just been washed, hang
over the sash, to Try in the breeze.
1t may be imagined what IL singular
sight is presented when every window
is ornamented. New York Herald.

GIRL SAVES HER FATHERS LIFE.

J. c. Hedges Of Augusta, Ky, tells
u pretty story OF heroic Kate Morgan,
who lives ten miles back of Augusta.
Late on a recent night Nj. Morgan,
thinking rohber, were on his prom
ises, attempted to take down his gun
and shot himself. The wound was
tri1ing, except that the bullet cut a
vein, and Mr.. Morgan was sure to
bleed to death. The mother is dead
and the oldest girl an invalid. It was
ten miles to Augusta. Kate, the 49,
year-old daughter, assisted her sister
to her fathers side, where with pieces
of cloth she stopped the flow of
blood. Kate got out a horse and rode
to Augusta, reaching it at minnight.
It was raining and she was soaking
vet. but the momen she found q
physician she started back, and beat
the doctor twenty minutes. It was
fortunate. Ipr the invalid sister was
exhausted. But the fathers life va;
saved.--Chicago Record.

A RARE LEAP YEAR.

Another leap year has come, and if
its privileges are to be taken advan-
tage of we advise our fair readers to
make the most of it. There Will not
be another leap year for eight years.
Under our present calendar, estab-
lished by Gregory XIII. in 1882, and
adopted in Engllsh-speaking lands in
1852, every fourth year is n leap year
excepting those ending a century not
divisible by 400 without Il remainder.
Thus 1900 was a leap year, but 100
and 1900 are not. and 1900 will not be.
In this way the calendar year and
the solar year will be kept in substan.
tial conformity for all time to ome.-

One point of difference is that the

Germans cling to some old customs,
that we have discarded. One is keep
ing sausages hung in a dry place and
cutting and serving raw slices for a
light luncheon. Another is hanging a
spray or bush of aromatic character in
a sitting room or bedroom. It gives
a pleasant perfume to the apartment,
but the leaves are always blowing
about the place in a manner that
would weary an American house
keeper. Still another is keeping bed
aud table linen, clothing and the like
IN huge Golfers along with some herb
or drug which will repel insects and
also impart an agreeable odor to the
tissues.
The chief difference is in the cook
ing. The German ace has evolved
three distinct schools of cooking.
One, the North German or Hamburg
school; a second, the Bavarian or
South German school. and a third
and most hQI@s, the -Huuga-
rian or Vienna school. Of the Ham
burg schoa, the typical dish is the IA
nous Hamburg steak, served raw,
fried or broiled, which is not alone
paIatable but is the most wholesome
form In which beef can be eaten.
Second is the herring salad, which is
not alone a wonderful appetizer but is
also conducive to thirst. Third, are
those curious pastries and pates for
which German bakers are celebrated,
In the South German school there is
a larger and wider development.
Meat from the wild boar and the wild
pig is cultivated. Curing pork
IN sugar, vinegar and rice spices, nude]
soups and buildings and various kinds
OF mixed salads are other specialties.
The pate do fole gras, the breast of
tll. goose and the curious kinds OF
ilenvy but nutritious breads are other
examples Of their work. The Vienna
school can compare on equal terms
with that of Paris. It's bread was in
troduced in this country at the Cen
tennial at Philadelphia, and is now
sold in larger quantities than French
bread. The wiener schnitzel is the
best style Of preparing veal. The
gonlash IS a beef stew of great excel
lence. The chicken paprika is equal
to a pouiet q la casserole. The matte.
pan is probably the most delicious
cake known to civilization. Another
feature in the cooking is sausages
stuffed with chicken, goose, v%enison,
or game. The Germans are Justly
proud of their culinary art, and have
their text books, teachers and lectur
ers the same as we have in the United
States. Most German housewives are
familiar with the three schools, an(
are thus enabled to give the daily fare
a variety which adds considerably t.
it's pleasure.-New York Mail and Elk

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

Cape Town, April News from
Matabele land is scarce, but there are
now Indications that the rebellion may
be checked before it has time to spread
dangerously far. Dispatches from
England say preparations are being
made to send reinforcements of 5000
regular troops here at short notice,
should such a step be necessary, and 1t
is said 5000 additional troops can be
hurried here from India in a very short
time. These announcements had a
calming effect upon the public mind
and there is not so much loud talking
upon the part of the Burghers and their
advisers.
A delayed dispatch from Buluwayo,
dated Tuesday last, says Captain Mac
Farlane, in command of the mounted
patrol, had a sharp skirmish with a
band of rebellious Matabeles at Queens
reef. Dembezi. The natives are report
ed to have attacked the troopers in fine
style and in a hand-to-hand encounter,
in which they were beaten of, leaving
80 killed.
