A creole stew Of frog legs is an ap-
petizing method of serving them
Wash the legs and wipe them dry with
a towel. Season them and fry them
brown in butter. For every two dozen
pairs of legs add half wine glass of
pale sherry. Let the legs simmer and
stew for five minutes; then add half
small green pepper. minced fine, and
three tomatoes, peeled and sliced. Cook
the frog legs fifteen minutes longer.
Then take them up and let the sauce
cook moment longer; then pour it
around them. Serve them when they
are very hot, with a good salad and
thin slices of brown bread.
A pair Of broiled frog legs is a tit-bit

spoonful of salt, a saItspoonful of sweet

the frog legs in this mixture and lay
them on double oyster broiler and

Piazza Tea.

The woman who plans to serve tea
on her piazza summer afternoons will
be delighted with the tea tables de,
signed especially for her. One which
is particularly novel Is called the Rus
sian tea table. 1t Is made of braided
flag, with a. willow border, and has
not only two delightfully."- convenient
side shelves, but q shelf underneath
for extra cups and saucers. Another
tea table pretty enough to be used in
the drawing room has mahogany legs,
with a delft decorated tray with brass
handles for the top.

Pretty Things In Muslin and Lace
and SILK.
There Is very little that is new In fine
French underwear. The sheerest and
daintiest materials are employed for
summer nightgowns. The exquisite
linen batiste, introduced several sea-
sons ago, has superseded sheer nainsook
for fine wear. All Athe seams of the
new gowns are put together by lines Of
hemstftching, and nothing but the
daintiest needlewerk is now used.
Much needle embroidery is used on the
latest underwear
The newest nightgowns are all quite
high at the throat, IN distinction from
the gowns of last season, which were
generally cut low at the throat. It is
probable that the comfortable fashion
of the low throat will prevail through
out the summer, and the high gown at
the throat will be introduced with cold
weather. Sheer, fine Yalenctennes
laces III the exquisite patterns that
wash and wear so well that thew re-
move all the old-time prejudice against
machine laces, are generally used on
the finest gowns and other underwear.
The prettiest chemises are made
round at the yoke, which Is merely a
slender band and without sleeve. The
general revival of the chemise this
season seems to be assured. It Is COM
posed of such sheer material that it
does not add perceptibly to the size
OF the waist. The newest garments are

There are rumors from Paris that the

dressmakers are giving their customers to

Mr.. DRExEL's New YAcHT.-A. J.
Drexel's new st,am yacht Margarita
arrived at New York yesterday from
Troon, Scotland. She was built by
the Ailsa Shipbuilding Company, and
was launched in May last. She is $50
feet over all, 240 feet on the water line,
334 feet beam and 20. feet deep. She
is built of steel, and has two sets of en-
gines. Her twin screws are made OF
bronze. Her indicated horse power is
about 3,4O0. She mas two dynamos for
storage batteries, refrigerating rooms
and every appliance that will contrib
ute to the convenience and comfort
of those on board. The Margarita is
equipped with one gig, three lifeboats,
two steam launches, one dingy and a
half-rater.
Under Mr.. Drexel's orders, the Mar
garita has been built with view to
seaworthiness rather than speed. Yet
she ran from the west coast of Ireland
to New York in eleven days and five
hours. Her chief engineer was for
some years chief engineer of the Amer

five miles from East st. Louis, was
burned to death Monday night in q

country amusements, while she was
left at home TO do the work. This made
her morose and discontented. Sunday
night she wanted to go out but her
Younger sister had an engagement.
Lizzie had to remain after supper and
wash the dishes. She went to bed af-
ter her work was done. Later in the
evening her sister, who occupied the
same room with her, came to bed.
They did not speak to each other.
Some time between one and two
o'clock in the morning Lizzie got out
of bed. Her younger sister awoke and
asked her where she was going.

Her footprints in the yard show that
she walked out to the well. From
there, there are tracks of footsteps of

house, where they are lost sight of.

from his bed and looking out of the win

TRYING TO GET EVEN.
Clock and Watch Makers Get Into the
Bicycle Trade.

Clock and Watch Makers Get Into the
Bicycle Trade.
Clock and watch makers who found
their regular business falling off on &C.
count Of the bicycle craze are now max.
ing up for it in the manufacture and
sale of cyclometers. Competition is ex-
ceedingly lively among the rival max
ers, to the great benefit of the rider.
Three or four years ago there were
only few makes of cyclometers, and
they were very heavy and costly. Now
cyclometers are made as small as a sill
yer quarter, weigh almost nothing and
can be purchased at a trifing cost.
Many dealers add cyclometer to the
equipment of the bicycle as all induce
ment to the purchaser, and as result
bicycles without cyclometers are the ex-
ception.
Cycling has brought many blessings
in it's train, and one of the greatest of
these is the neat little register which
records accurately the distance traversed
by the cyclist. It is practicallya 10, 600
mile tapelire in a compact and conyen-
lent form. 1t is a great satisfaction for
the rider to sec the miles roll up on the
dial as ne spins along. The present cy-
ciometers are very simple in construc-
tion, and as a rule perform thcir dutv
without error, but too much must not
be exree.Sd CT what is merely a me-
chanical Continuance, A rider can hardly

expect his cycIOmeter to measure the
distance betweenstwo points accurately
if he wabbles from one side of the road
to the other. In this way beginners
cyclometer might record mile while
he has been pursuing his sinuous course
for only half that distance.
Cyclometers are made for wheels of q
given diameter, and if a 26 inch cyclom-
eter be fitted to a % inch wheel the
figures will not be accurate enough to
be valuable. For the same reason if the
front tire be soft an appreciable error
in the measurement will occur, because
Of the lessened diameter of the bicycle
wheel If the tire sinks in quarter of
an inch under the weight Of the rider,
the error in a mile ride would amount
to IA yards. Thus the accuracy of a cy-
clometer measurement varies percepti-
bly,, according to the hardness Of the
tire. However, the average bicycle rider
is not an engineer orNsurveyor, and the
popularity of the cyclometer is i'll no
way endangered because Of this slight
variation from the truth, a failing to
which the cyclometer is often driven by
the scorcher eager fora huge mileage
record.
So long as the variation is on the cy-
clist's side the cyclometer's future is
safe. At any rate, the demand fer the
device is lively, and the makers are re
trenching their losses incurred by the
encroachment Of the bicycle upon the
watch trade. - New Orleans Times.

using an underburned charcoal, thus
giving the powder its peculiar color.
Thus there arose division Of gunpow-
der into quick and slow burning pow
ders.
It was not alone necessary to make q
powder which wou burn more slowly,
but if possible to make one burn SO that
more gas would be forming when the
shot got near the muzzle than was
forming when it started from the breech,
because there is more room behind the
shot when it nears the muzzle, and 1t
therefore takes more gas to keep up the
same pressure against its base.
To accomplish this and to make the
grains lie so that there should be spaces
evenly distributed among them TO al
low the fame to reach every grain at
once, causing all Of them to begin run
ming together, grains were made Of reg
ular shapes, and each shape was tried
to see how nearly it gave the desired
results. Thus there have been used
round grains, square grains, sphere
hexagonal grains, cylindrical grains
and prismatic grains. OF course it is
impossible to make a grain which will
have more and More surface to burn the
smaller it gets, SO the best result which
has thus far been obtained is only an
approach to it, and this is obtained
with hexagonal prismatic grain about
/ inch high and 1 u inches in diameter,
with hole or several holes through it.
