A1CAS<lcfsA " ASSJS 5lS Why shouldn't a man marry his de- ceased wife's sister? Having, so to speak, sampled a family by marrying one member of it why shouldn't he, if he is suited with the sample, continue to deal with that family if cirourn- stances put him in a position to do so? We know of no real solid reason why he shouldn't, although it is argued in England that if a man is allowed to marry his deceased wifes sister the sis ter will poison the wife in order to be- come the wife of the husband of the that the wife will be apt to make her self deceased in order to allow her hus- band to marry the sister who wants him, and in this way have full and sweet revenge on the sister.
 It is against the law in England for man to marry his deceased wife's sister, and so many men and so many sisters have wanted to marry that the law has been strongly attacked for many years. The house of commons was converted long ago. It has passed | the bill for the relief of widowers and deceased wives sisters many times, but the house of lords has consistently rejected 1t. The agitation has, how
 ever, continued and the numbers of those who would be favorably affected l by the measure have increased. It has
 been very inconvenient for people to
 emigrate in order to marry a sister-in-
 law. Many English couples have come
 to the United States and to Canada to
 contract such marriages and have af-
 forwards returned to England. Such
 marriages being contrary to British
 law, they have always been subject to
 doubt, although performed in @ coun-
 try permitting them. At last it seems
 plain that the longfought prohibition
 will be removed. The house of lords
 has passed the bill to 6 second read | ing and it is considered certain that it I will go through all right now. The
 Prince of Wales is using his great in-
 fiuence in favor of it, and though the
 bishops who sit in the house of lords
 continue to fight it their efforts are not having the usual effect.
 When the prohibition against marry ing the sister of 8 deceased wife is re-
 moved perhaps such sisters. will not seem as attractive to Englishmen as they do now. If this turns out to be
 the case the opponents of the bill will
 it doesn't the widowers and the sisters
 will think the same way.

An appeal is again made for contrib utions to the Fresh Air Fund, It should be generously answered. No moro use ful and unobjectionable charitable work Is done in this city than that done by the managers of this fund. And no charitable work is better done. The money spent is put where it will do the most good. Wefk women and feeble children get most of the benefit of 1t, and anybody who has seen one of the Fresh Air excursions needs no ar gument to show him how much good they do those who take part in them, Many lives are cheered and some saved by these excursions.
 Give liberally to the Fresh Air Fund. The poor and the weak we have with us deserve as much consideration from us as the fiat and sassy' heather of Boorioboola- Cha

Beat the yolks of two eggs with the juice of half a lemon, Stir the hot sauce slowly on the yolks of eggs and lemon juice Then stir the sauce in the double-boiler two or three minutes. Throw a half-glass of pale sherry over the fried legs and dish them on hot platter with the sauce. Sprinkle a tablespoonful of finely minced parsley over all
 The legs are also nice dipped In but ter, Slft heaping cup of pastry flour with a half-teaspoonful of salt. Stir in the yolks of two eggs, & tablespoonful of sweet oil and half cup of cold wa ter, When these ingredients are thor oughly mixed, let the batter rest at least an hour. It is improved by rest ing longer. provided 1t is covered elose- ly with damp cloth to prevent crust forming over 1t, When ready for use, whip the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth and stir them carefully into the batter with wooden spoon. Dip the frogs legs in it, after seasoning them with salt and pepper. Immerse the legs in boiling hot fat, one pair at a time, and fry them for five minutes Take them up with wire spoon, and drain them on ordinary coarse brown paper for moment, Serve them with quarters of lemon and a garnish Of parsley-or use a tartare sauce.
 A creole stew of frog legs is an appe- tizing method of serving them. Wash the legs and wipe them dry with a tow el. 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 a 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 a | moment longer; then pour it around | them. Serve them when they are very hot, with good salad and thin slices of brown bread.
 | A pair of broiled frog legs is tit-bit that not every one can enjoy to perfec- ton, because so few people understand how to prepare the legs properly for this purpose. Select the largest legs. Prepare marinade of three table spoonfuls of sweet oil, a half-teaspoon- ful of salt, a tablespoonful of pepper, and the juice of a lemon. Roll the frog legs in this mixture and lay them on a double oyster broiler and broil them for | five minutes on one side and then for five minutes on the other. They should be an even, rich brown. Slide them on ! a hot platter. Mix a tablespoonful of minced parsley with heaping table spoonful of butter. Add the juice of half lemon. Spread when chilled
 over the hot frog legs.
 Fried ''frogges" have been in use | among the Spanish and French since
 the days of Charles V. The English,
 proverbially conservative in matters of
 food, long ridiculed the eating of frogs,
 and it was not until the middle of this l century that they became feature of
 our markets.
 Next to Paris, New York is now one
 of the largest markets for frogs. They are only occasionally displayed in the markets of interior cities, and in rural
 districts the small boy is the only one
 who goes "a-frogging" and enjoys the
 result of his fishing.

On the opposite side in back is a small CT rosette of violet chiffon. The flow CTS are so placed around the brim that they spread in an airy, natural man. ner, and must not be set too close to- gether, as that would make a heavy and solid effect that would be quite out of place on a summer hat. That Is a point to be remembered on all summer hats; make it look light, no matter if it takes two pounds of trimming to do it.
 Large hats that describe a dropping curve along the edge of the brim in front are among the pretty models. The hat that droops over the face is al ways romantic, and suits many faces better than does the cocky, upward tilt. Bird of paradise wing effects still drench the most sensational hats as if with a spray of mist, but when the proportion of a hat is all lost, and the head and face become mere supports to the wonder of the structure above then the hat is detriment instead of an establishment, No matter how big how awkward or how grotesque a hat if it serves to set off the face and head it serves as it should, but beware ot making your head merely an excuse for a hat.

 Main; still on they dashed, wheeling into Commercial, then UP into Pine and still at full speed to Broad, heading for the destination of the stage in front of the National or Pierson's Hotel, in the middle of the block.
 Arthur Hagadorn, the owner of the stage line, was standing, pale with ex- citement, close to where the stage usu- ally refined in None can ever know how it came about, but at the sight of the familiar figure the four intelligent animals slowed up and came to a stop within foot of where they would have been driven had Olin been on the box.
 Stepping up to the lead horse, Haga- dorm stroked his wet neck and said: Noble fellow, you've done your last day's work"
 Mathewson was unhurt and feebly thanked friends and acquaintances who crowded around the stage to con- graduate him on his miraculous es- cape
 Such is the record of one of the wild est stage rides ever taken by man. One of the wheelers on this stage was the stallion St. Clair, the sire of Sena- tor Stanford's famous Occident. It is not generally known that the late San- ator deserves much of the credit of helping to perfect the instantaneous process ir photography.
 Occident was said to have the finest action of any trotter of his day. and Stanford spent two years and sixty thousand dollars before he finally sue ceeqed in obtaining d satisfactory pho tograph of Occident at his best by means of the instantaneous process.

The Devil in Art.
tFrom the Magazine of Art.)

(frOm tne MagaZne or arU.)
 I shall not in this article deal with the fantastic, grinning and misshapen monsters, those quaint and curious conceptions which give life to our me- diaeval architecture look at us out of early stained glass, and people the pages of manuscripts and early printed books. The northern genius readily grasped the grotesque decorative and humorous possibilities of fantastic demon and his imps, and, as I have suggested in my first article, art had something to do with the degradation of the conception of the Evil One that ensued. The devil became rogue, a droll hobgoblin akin to the northern Loki, playing awkward tricks upon lu- man kind-reddening the nose and cracking the lips of Abbot Richalmus- terrible, indeed, at times, but often de- luded and befooled. There came a time when it was possible for St. Guth- lac, at Crowland, disturbed by horrid bowling without. as of Britons coming to destroy him, to feel comfort in dis | GQSCtluS ttItiL tlIGy WClC GOIly hCfllS.
 Tn the pictorial art of Lower Germany and Flanders the devil generally took strange, fantastic and often obscene forms. Martin Schongauer G450-91), who worked at Colmar and Muihausen, has an extraordinary Descent into Limbo in which Our Lord tramplas upon hideous and even filthy demon. while another, with long snout and spiny arms, grasps the broken ,loor. The same artist drew a marvellous St. Anthony Tormented," in which the saint, with placid countenanee. is borne up and surrounded by gross creatures who tear and beat him with out mercy; some biped, one fish-like, two quadruped, with ragged spiny flesh, wings and tails. A print of the "Temptation of Christ" remains from the hand of an unknown artist, "L. Cz.,'' still more extraordinary. Dur Lord, a well-drawn figure, stands on the left, and opposite to Him the most l hideous of all devils--grotesquely -hu man in form, having a head half-bird. half-animal, witL long ears and jagged | horns the breasts of a withered wo- man, the wings of bat, thin, spiny | legs, the claws of an exaggerated bird of prey and hideous heads starting out from his obscene body.

THE TENDER FROG.
Several Methods of CoolSing This Fine
 Creature

Creature.
 (lfrom the New York Tribune)
 By midsummer day, when sentiment tai maidens seek the St. Johns wort and the skies of June fill every enc with delight, the frog is in supren ene condition for food. He is young and plump as spring chickens should be and too often are not. He is creature in which the patriotic American should take national pride and he deserves the place of honor on the Fourth of July.
 Frogs are easily prepared for the ta- ble. The medium sized legs are consid- cred the best fo2 all purposes except fer broiling. One of the most delicious ways of serving frogs legs Is to fry U sm in butter and send them to the table in Hollandaise sauce Wash the legs and wipe them with cloth. Trim off the bones of the claws with a pair of scissors. Season the legs with salt and pepper, dredge them lightly with sifted cracker crumbs, and fry them a golden brown in butter.
 MednlliHe prepare sauce TOT TWO dozen pairs of frog legs as follows: Melt tablespoonful of butter, add six peppercorns, a tablespoonful of grated onion, and bay leaf. Stir in a table spoonful of flour, add pint of stock CT water. Pour the stock in slowly and stir the mixture until all the Jumps are stirred out.

Is IT. LITERARY CENTER


 Chicago has managed to become cele- brated for it's wind, it's pork and beef products and its divorces. Lately there have been vague rumors that Chicago is also literary center" Preposter- ous as it may seem to those who live in such places as New Haven and Bos- ton there are some facts which, when looked at in a certain way, appear to give basis for these rumors. For in stance, the annual report of the Chi cago public library shows that it is one of the greatest institutions of it's kind | anywhere. Indeed, it circulated more books during the twelvemonth ending June first than any other library in the world ever put out in a similar time. No less than 1,1735S6 volumes were drawn from it in the year, Manchester, Eng, being second with 975,944, and Boston third with S47,321.
 l This is astonishing though before de- ciding just what it means one would want to know what kinds of books cir culate most in Chicago. It is not likely that the people of Chicago take out of their public library many books Of such height and depth as the people of New Haven are in the habit of talk ing out of their public library If they do they have been catching up with the people of New Haven in a way that is somewhat rudely shocking.

 Now that the fashions in millinery are really settled delft fingers can ac- complish all sorts of wonders that were not safe to attempt at the beginning of the season. A leghorn at dollar can be trimmed with great fiaring double frill of tulle or tissue a spreading bow of brilliant ribbon can be mounted on the top of the crown, some big flowers may be dropped into the pillows of tulle, and there you are-the hat is just right and has not cost very much, af- ter all. With small hats-and such are worn, for all so many big ones are seen the trick is even easier. because trim mings are so varied and so beautiful that they almost seem to point out how and where they should be placed. This. of course, does not appear to the woman that has not some notion of how hat should be trimmed, and she will do we'll to hire the work done for it is easy to go wrong with even soi small a piece of headgear as that, shown herewith.

A Yucatan correspondent of the Phil- adelphia Record describes large coco anut plantation of a New England man down there. Ion tract of 1000 acres (purchased from the government at the Arate of four cents per acre) he has set out 10, 900 trees, and expects in due time to make a princely fortune therefrom. It requires six years for the trees to begin to yield returns; and it is esti- mated that in ten years from the time of planting the grove will be worth at least $1,000,000, on which it will yield ali annual income of 10 per cent A full-grown cocoanut tree will mature from 50 to 100 nuts every year.

Dr. Baraduc, a Roumanian, tells the Paris Academy of Medicine that he has photographed thought and he backs up his assertion by many photographs. These are said to be rather cloudy, though d few are distinct, representing persons and things The method en- ployed is for the person whose thought is to be photographed to enter dark room, place his hand on photographic plate, and think intently on the object to be produced. Dr. Baraduc asserts that it is possible to produce a photo- graphic image at great distance, and Instances the case of Dr. Istrate and Mir. Hasdeu.
