 Baroness Burdett-Coutts, who has just celebrated her eighty-third birth day, enjoys the distinction of being the only woman whom the queen has raised to the peerage on her own merits. Other peeresses have been made, but only in compliment to their husbands, as for instance the wives of the late w. H. Smith and Lord Beaconsfield.

HOW NOT TO CARRY THEM.
Ways in Which Canes and Umbrellas

Ways in Which Canes and Umbrellas
 Become Sources of Danger.
 Amy man who feelshimseIf impelled to carry a cane or an umbrella not in actual use in any manner except in an approximately vertical position by his side said MT. Glimby, should at once hire hall and go there and lock him self in alone, where he will not endan- ger the lives of his feIlow-mortals and where the damage done by him will be confined to the breaking of such win dews as he may stick the end of his umbrella through in his sudden turn ings as be pursues his walk.
 And yet, reprehensible as is the prac- tice of carrying cane or umbrella through the streets in any other than vertical position, there are in this as in other crimes degrees of reprehensi- bility. The least dangerous of the wrong ways of carrying cane is over the shoulder, with the point up, at the angle of 45 degrees. The man carrying cane in that manner turning sudden ly in crowd is not likely to do much damage beyond knocking off a few hats.
 "A more objectionable way of carry ing cane is horizontally under the arm, with the ends sticking out front and back. It is possible for man cai.- rying a cane in this manner to iab two people at once, rouse a considerable amount of ill feeling and perhaps hurt somebody.
 
 "The man who carries through the streets cane or an umbrella run through the straps of valise with the ends sticking out is dangerous being, for people cannot see this umbrella till they are very near to it. They might not know of it's presence at all unless they should run over it or the carrier should turn when they were close upon him.
 But the most dangerous of all the careless or thoughtless cane or umbrel la carriers is the man who carries cane or an umbrella horizontally under his arm while going up stairway, as, for example, up the stairs leading to an elevated station. The point of an umbrella so carried is about on a level with the eyes of anybody following close, and it is q source of great danger. There is but one thing for the follower to do if, happily, he shall discover the umbrella in time, and that is to give the man carrying it lots of room. N. Y. Sun

We may look forward to seeing white vcils worn somewhat differently this summer from the mode of the past The latest wrinkle" is to buy wide scarf of white tulle, barege or yelling This is drawn over the hat and face in the usual way. At the back the ends cross, tie, are drawn forward again under the chin, fasten here with a small jeweled pin. tied in large bow with squared loops under the chin One would better practice the thing with an old scarf, or not experiment with the length of snowy tulle until you are ready to put it on and go out St Louis Republic.

HUMAN ROOkERlES.
Monks Perched on Rocks in Thcssaly Mhere the Turks Cannot Get Them.

Where the Turks Cannot Get Them.
 The mere fact that the Turks over run Thessaiy on the Grecian frontier does not by any means imply that they can easily eNtirpate the Christians ill that once fertile vale. Some of the Christian strongholds i'll this territory, which for generations has been in dis pute between the adherents of the cross and crescent, are perched high on in- accessible rocks.
 The monastery of All Saints, popu- larly known as .Hagios Bariaam, is on the top of lofty monolith, rising sey- eral hundred feet sheer from the ground. The monastery buildings crown the top of this rock clear to the, outer edges, and it is only to be reached when the monks deign to let down ladder or. a net, ill which the visitor is slowly hauled by cumbersome wind lass to the lofty summit.
 The monks on top of this lofty rock have stores of wine and warehouses filled with grain They are men of ab- stemious habits, accustomed to live up on the minimum of food which will sup port human life, and siege by the Turks they would look upon as an event requiring special fortitude and saeri- fee
 This monastery in Thessaly was built in the 18th century. The rope by which it is reaced is $40 feet in length.
 This rope is lowered by the monks when they consent to receive the visit of some stranger who has been well recommended to them. At the end of the rope is net and in this the visitor with his baggage takes his place.
 Then the monks far above turn an ancient windlass and the visitor in his net slowly ascends. If for any reason tie monks do not like the look of the visitor or if they change their minds while the rope is being hauled up, the burden in the net can be let down again if necessary with a run"
 By uncoupling one of the wheels of the windlass the visitor can be dumped on the ground in an unceremonious manner with several lengths of the stout rope on top of him. This form of treatment, it is said, was accorded by the monks to suspicious visitors in former times. Spies attempting to ascend tEe rock by means of the rope ladder have had the ladder cut above them when a few feet from the top, fall ing on the rocks below and being dashed to death.-N Y Journal

dent Cleveland sent his Venezuelan war message to congress, the naval authori. ties were exercised over the fact that there was aot at that time enough pow der in the country to fight the North Atlantic fleet one hour. Since then, the goyerumen: has rapidly been increasing it's store but is still far from having enough powder on hand to conduct q naval war of any magnitude. An idea of the tremendous amount of powder required in modern naval warfare is gained from the fact that one irst-class fighting ship will burn up from GO to 70 tons of powder ip one hours fight.
 Of course the amount of powder now on hand represents much more than one hours endurance in effective fighting on the part of the United States navy. It is not to be supposed that all the ships of the navy would be engaged at the same time. The Columbia, for in stance, would be out on the high seas catching Spanish merchant men, as would the Minneapolis; and theywould not have to burn much powder. Some ships would not be engaged at all, and consequently would not expend any powder.
 Still the fact remains that the United States has not powder enough on hand to keep it's navy in action for one hour should the necessity arise for all the ships now in commission to fight at once A single discharge from one of the Indiana's 13-inch guns would burn up $50 pounds of powder. The charge required to send aprojectile from l2- inch gun on it's mission is 43o pounds, and to fire a 10-inch gun uses up 22O pounds The coast defense vessel Purl- tan, though she has only four guns in her main battery, would alone burn 34,4oo pounds of powder in one hours battle. Similar statistics might be giv- en for every vessel in the navy to prove the general results given, and show how utterly unprepared is the United States in the matter of powder for naval war of any duration.
 Spain is probably not so we'll fixed as the United States in the matter of pow der for her war ships, but she has all Europe to draw on in case of war, while for this country to import powder in time Of war would be q matter of con siderable difficulty.

 Yes, said MT. Goozle to Mrs. Goozle, io whom he was explaining the bene- fits of fraternal insurance societies; yes, Angelina, we are just like band of brothers. The ties of the society bind us hand to hand and heart to heart. Even the ties Of blood are not more sacred nor more close Between the members of the Loving Brothers of the Meat Ak nothing exists but broth erly love and unselfish henevolence.
 Mrs. Goozle sniffed disdainfully and jerked the plaid waist she was sewing spitefully. She knew Mr. Goozle pretty well herself He paid no attention 10 her irreyerent action, but centinHed:
 When one of us dies we all follow the lifelcss clay o it's last resting place, and moisten the grave with our sincere tears. And then the practical part of the Brotherhood comes into play, Ange- lima, for we reach into our pockets and contribute d paltry sum, the large to- tai of which relieves the widow and : orphans of our loved and lost brother from the bangs of want. Yes. indeed, Angelina, we are like band of broth CTS"
 At this point little Mercedes Goozle ran to her father bearing letter. Mr. Goozle tore it open. Itwas q card bear ing the seal of the Loving Brother hood of the Meat Ak

band of war, would be liable 10 seizure at sea. In fact, the difficulty of getting powder f1om abroad in time Of war would he too great to render that plan practicable. But railroads from all over Europe could pour into Spain all the powder she could pay for. The United States would have to rely upon it's own powder mills.
 When the word powder is used in this article, it must be understood that powder such as is used in the firing of modern naval ordnance is meant. For merly any old powder would do to fire off cannon, but things have changed. Modern powder for naval ordnance is made in hexagonal grains and burns slowly. Itis not crammed into the cart ridge haphazard, but is packed in care fully, and the loading of one of the metal cases which is placed behind the projectile is work requiring great skill and experience.
 Down at Fort Wadsworth is a long one-story building of corrugated iron, where the powder comes down from Dover. Powder is sent to Fort Wads- worth to be prepared for the ships as it is needed, and no large stock is kept on hand there. The magazine at Dover, away up in the Jersey hills, is the prin- cipal one ill the country, and from it are supplied all the smaller magazines OH the Atlantic coast. At Mare island near San Francisco there is a maga- zine from which the ships of the Pacific squadron are supplied. Besides Fort Wadsworth. there are substations on the Atlantic coast at Portsmouth, N Il, Chelsea, Mass, Norfolk, Va. and Pensacola, Fla. At these substations, and at the big one at Mare island, the powder is prepared to go on board ship just as it will be used in the firing of the guns.
 If smokeIcss powder for the big guns Of 4he navy, the United States has none whatever. For the small bore rapid fire ana machine guns there is a limited supply.

OUR SUPPLY OF POWDER.
It Is Hardly Sufficient With Which
 to Begin War
We Have Not Enough to Keep Our Navy Fighting in Full Force for One Hour-What We
 Would Need.
[Copyriglt. 1S97.l

If the United States is going to war with Spain the powder factories of the country should at once begin running night and day. The North Atlantic squadron could burn up in one hours fight more powder than there is stored in tine great naval magazine at Dover. N. J., and in two hours could use up all the powder there is in the country suit able for the guns used on p1en-of-w war. In these days the caestici. of powder is most serious one, for two reasons: first, more powder could be burned in single naval engagement under present conditions than would have snfficed for an entire war at the beginning of the century; and secondly. peculiar kind of powder has to be used. The North Atlantic fleet, composed, as it was until recently, of the 14 ships Indiana, Iowa. Massachusetts, New York. Brooklyn, Columbia, Maine, Texas, Terror, Am- phitrite, Puritan, Raleigh Montgomery and Marblehead, could burn, with all their guns firing, no less than 1,o7l, ,12o pounds of powder in one hour.
 Besides the IA ships named, the United States has in commission IS other men of-war-all, except three, modern yes sels. In the naval magazine at Dover there is stored 100000 pounds of pow der. It is doubted that all the other naval magazines in the country to- gether contain larger amount This gives 2,ooo,ooo pounds of powder as the visible supply of the United States.
 The B ships of war of the United States now in commission could use mp that supply in one hour. Again, in case of war, number of ships now out Of commission would be placed in commis- sion, and the demand for powder would thus be much increased. When Preai-

Artificial Petroleum.

Among the achievements of science is the production of petroleum from lin- seed oil by distillation under pressure. Two theories have been held as to the origin of petroleum. One is that it is a vegetable, the other of animal origin. It is not unlikely that it is a combina- ton of both. Animal and vegetable oils filter through the ground and might, by changes in the chemical laboratory of nature, produce this substance. At all events, the fact is significant and interesting, especially as several pc troleum hydrocarbons have resulted from the experiments as noted.-N. Y. Ledger.

INDIA CURRY.
4 Hot-Weather Use of the Condiment
 Scarcely Known to Americans.

Scarcely Known to Americans.
 The use of that wholesome condi- ment, curry powder, in the average American family is becoming greater each year. This powder has been in general use in England since the days of Warren Hastings, and Englishmen have become very fond of it, some sprinleling the curry from atholder as an American would pepper upon his food. People living where the heat of the climate makes it necessary to use stimulating condiments in their viands learn quickly to like a curried dish or anything with this powder in it. Per haps it is not generally known that slices of cold meat or fowl heated in well-seasoned curry sauce and served for luncheen on hot summers day are better for the stomach than the cold meats alone. A curry powder is used with great success in seasoning fish sauces and vegetable dishes as we'll as meats, and little of this powder in soups adds to their flavor.
 \ curry powder is pulverized very fine and smooth, and usually is pre- pared with the following spices: Twelve ounces of tumeric, one ounce of cayenne pepper, half an ounce of black pepper, the same of paprika, six ounces of gin- ger, half an ounce each of cardamon seed, eti11ifffin seed, mace, and cinna- mon, and eight ounces of coriander seed. A bottle of the best imported h. dia curry powder may be purchased at a small expense and will retain it's strength for a long while if kept closely corked, rolled in thick paper, or put in a dark place.
 In the East Indies, where curries are so successfully made, an acid fruit is commonly and eocoanut is always used with the other ingredients, which would seem unusual to us, who are accus- toned to associating cocoanut with delicate cakes and dainty buildings.
 Here is one recipe for India curry: Break open a cocoanut, save the milk, and grate half the nut meat, Pour over this half a cup of fresh milk and the cocoanut milk, and let them stand in a cool place several hours. Take a boiled fowl and cut it into pieces of the proper size, removing the skin and bones and sprinsling the flesh lightly with salt Cut good-sized onion into small pieces and put 1t into frying pan with three tablespoonfuls of but ter; cook them five minutes, add half a chopped green pepper, and cook five minutes longer; stir in two tablespoon fuls of flour and two teaspoonfuls of curry powder and stir untilitis frothy; slowly add one pint of the liquid in which the chicken was cooked, after re- moving the grease carefully. Now press the milk from the grated eoeoanut and add it to the other ingredients with a teaspoonful of sugar. Allow these to cook slowly ten minutes. Put into a saucepan the prepared meat and strain the curry sauce over it; add the juice of half lemon; cover the pan, and let the contents just bubble for 20 minutes; then serve. A few raisins or pieces of apricots are frequently added with the other ingredients; then the sugar and lemon may be omitted-N. '. Sun.

 Some time ago he had a severe illness which was cured almost miraeulouslY. A reporter, hearing of this, interviewed him re. garding his experience. Prof, Bowman was in the midst of his work when the reporter called, but he cheerfully gave him hearing
 A year ago last fall , said the professor, T broke down with nervous exhaustion, and was unable to properly attend to my duties. l tried different physicians but with no relief and also used many different pro- prietary medicines, spending almost fifty dollars for these medicines alone. then sue eumbed to a siege of the grip in the middle of winter, and was left in a much worse con dition. My kidneys were fearfully dis ordered, and my digestion became very poor. l was indeed in a bad condition.
 "A minister in conference learning of my condition advised me to try Dr. W Wiiiiams Pink Pills for Pale People. l had heard much about the wonderful curative powers of this medicine, but it was with reluctance that 1 was finally persuaded to try 1t, as 1t seemed that nothing could do me any good. However, l procured three boxes of pills and took them strictly according to directions. By the time the last dose was taken I was almost cured, and in better health than had been for years. l continued using the pills awhile longer and was entirely cured 1 can eheerfully recommend Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
