only satisfaction they ever got for their
pains was: why, just make it, that's
ALL" Opinion was divided as to why
her answer was always so indefinite,
her stanchest supporters claiming that
she was honest, and that that was real
ly all there was to it, she simply mix
ing the coffee and water, while her own
potent magnetism did the rest. But
there were others who were not so
strongly attached to her and who in
sisted that it was pure meanness and
selfshness that prompted her to keep
to herself the secret of turning OFF a
cup OF coffee that for fragrance and
Righteousness could not be found else
where.
People never dropped into her house
to an afternoon tea. She always served
coffee. That was the reason the bach
elor called there so often. Teas, he
maintained, were such insipid, char
acterless affairs and worthy of being
attended only by people who were as
insane as the tea itself. But when it
came to coffee-ah, there was some
thing that put new life into man and
drowned disappointment in the hopes
it inspired OF achieving something in
the future
And she poured coffee as cleverly as
she made it. She always looked her
best at those times, and it was well for
his beauty-loving eye that that was
what she was doing when he first saw
her. They were brought together at
little informal gathering at the house
Of friend, and after he had met her
there a second time he felt that he was
privileged to call on her at her own
home. She gave him coffee there, too,
and somehow presiding over her own
urn lent an added charm TO her gen
tie graciousness. Even the aroma OF
the golden brown liquid as it was borne
to his nostrils on little white clouds OF
steam inspired a feeling of confidence
and LONELINESS which was accentu-
ated by the dignifled cordially of the
woman herself.
These bubbles foretell that there is
to be a deep friendship established be-

Yes" she laughed, "but not very
surprising. What else do you see?"
"Oh, nothing in particular. You see"
he resumed after a pause, II am a

The Cost of a Dinner.

Recently gentleman who is
fond of arithmatic made up his
mind that he would find out how
much dinner really costs. This
gentleman asked how much
simple dinner that he was eating
cost, and he was told seventy five
cents. He contradicted this, and
then made out the following state
ment about the cost of that dinner ::
The pepper, he said, came from
ten thousand miles away. 1t grew
on a little bush about eight feet
high, which must have had a
growth of at least five years. The
pepper was picked green; it had
to be dried in the sun, and this
meant employing women. 1t took
one ship and a thousand miles Of
railroad to bring the pepper to the
United 5 ates. The tea on the
table came from China, and the
coffee from South America. The
codfisn had to be brought from
Maine. Men had to be employed
to catch the fish {; other men and
women were employed in drying,
packing and boxing it, and it, too
had to take long railroad Jour
ney. The flour of which the bread
was made was grown in Dakota
someone owned the land and that
meant the investing of capital
and then he had also to pay wages
to worklngmen. The flour had to
be ground, and the building of
the mill and the plant,o machin-
cry, meant more money invested.
The millers had to be paid; coop
ers had to be paid for making
barrels; and of course the wood
of which the barrels were made
had to be cut and sawed and
shaped, and this meant the en-
ployment of more men. Then
the flour had to be shipped over
the railroad and handled again
by cartmen before it comes into
the house. The salt came from
the Indian reservation in the
northwestern part Of New York
State. The canned peaches came
from California, and they, too.
represented the employment of
capital and labor. The spices in
the cake came from the spice
islands in the Indian Archipelago.
After the gentleman had pointed
out what the dinner really cost he
asked what on the table could be
raised within the limits Of the
country where they were living.
The answer was: only the corn
bread, the butter, and buttermllk
and it was decided that the fami.
ly could not live on those alone.
The gentleman estimated that
that little dinner represented. di.
rectly or indirectly, the employ
ment of five hundred millions of
dollars Of capital and of five mil
lions of men. 1t would be quite
a lesson in Geography for each of
the little folks to try to discover
where their dinners came from.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water
glass with urine and let it stand
twenty-four hours; a sediment or
settling indicates diseased con-
ditlon of the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too
frequent desire to urinate or pain
in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and blad-
der are out of order.

IL have been made a drunkard

Mon table | received from the

serpent that is to be found in

proved too much for my weak
humanity, and out Of that holy
place | rushed to the last debauch
that ended with the murder of my
wife.
"For one year our town was
without saloon. For one year |
was a sober man. For one year
my wife and children were su-
premely happy, and our little
home perfect paradise.
II was one of those who signed
the remonstrance against re. open
ing the saloons in our town. The
names of one half of this jury can
be found to-day on the petition

acter of the rumsellers, and false
ly saying that the sale of liquor

was the one that 80 eloquently

prisoner fell like Goals of fire
upon the hearts of those present,
and many of the spectators and
some of the lawyers were moved
to tears. The Judge made a mo-

Paner Bottles.

A German paper-maker has recently
obtained letters patent on bottles maze
of paper for use on board of ships par
ticularly. 1t has been a cause OF much
damage to steamer lines that in pad
weather a large number of bottles OF
wine and other liquors are broken in
the storerooms, in spite of every pre-
caution. The new bottles are made of
a composition, which, with the solu-
ton in which they are made water
tight, is still the inventors secret. Al
ter being impregnated with this fluid
the paper bottles are slowly dried in gas
stoves, and this process of drying must
he watched carefully, for otherwise the
bottles would remain porous and allow
the fluids to leak out These bottles can
be handled thorouhgly without the least
apprehension; neither the pitching nor
the rolling Of a great steamer during
rough weather nor the breaking down
of truck upon which they are loaded
loosely would be apt to damage sin

BISHOP NICHOLAS.
The Big Church Official Calls Upon
President Mckinley.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. - Nicholas,
Bishop of Alaska and the Aleutian ISL
ands, who has just returned to Wash
ington from San Francisco, was among
the callers on President Mckinley to-
day. He was accompanied by Mr.. De
valiant, Charge d'Affaires of the Rus
sian Legation, and presented a striking
appearance, clad in full canonical robes
of royal purple velvet, with high head
dress and flowing back veil, and with
his broad chest fairly covered with dia-
monds and other precious stones of
great value.
The Bishop is the only official repre-
sentative Bishop of the Russian Greek
Church in the territory Of the United
States, and he attracted much atten-
ton as he visited the executive depart
ments to pay his respects to the Cab
met officers.
The Office-SeekerS were not in evil
dence at the White House to-day, and
to the few who called the announce
ment was made that the President
would see no one Postmaster General
Gary was with the President. A little
later Secretary Sherman came over. He
had some foreign papers to present,
and also talked over the result of the
election. Attorney-Genera McKenna

the regulations to make out an affirma-
tive showing as to the character of the
land.
1.-THE decision of August "a, 1855, as
to the mineral character of the land was
not a finding that the Santa Clara Min
ing Association was entitled to patent.
That company had yet to conform to
certain requirements to enable the De-
partment to judicially determine whe-
ther the company had complied with
the mining rules and regulations. These
proofs We're never furnished.
TT has been the practice in ex parte
lode claims to accept a discovery as
sufficient proof that all the land covered
by the location is mineral, in the alb
sence of allegations to the contrary.
Where it is alleged, however, that any
portion thereof embraced within a. claim
under the agricultural laws is non-min-
eral evidence may be submitted in that
issue, and if the allegation is proven,
the mineral claim will be rejected to that
extent.
'',The rule is found to be that in land
classed as mineral in character, min
eral must be actually found thereon, and
a mere theory as to it's existence will not
be accepted as establishing its mineral
character. The existence of mineral on
neighborng tracts cannot be accepted
as evidence conclusive of the mineral
character of the tract in controversy.
Citing a former Department decision,
the Commissioner says: Land Is MIN
eral where minerals have been FOUND,
and the evidence is of such a character
that a person of ordinary prudence
would be justified in the further ex-
penditure of his labor and means with
reasonable prospect of success in de-
veloping a valuable mine.

NEW YORK's FIRE PATROL.
It Had It's Origin in an Association
of Merchants.

Charles IT. Hill has been writing LOT
"St Nicholas a series of articles Oh
the New York Fire Department III
one devoted to Fire Patrol he says:
The history of the New York branch
of this novel addition to the hre ser
vice is not uninteresting, for its estao-
lish dates back to the beginning OF the
present century, at which time 1t was
know, as the Mutual Assistance Bag
Company"
Originally this was banding to-
gether of New York merchants for mu-
tuaI protection at fires. Each member
of the above company" wore badge
of distinction at fires, consisting OF
round hat with a black rim and
white crown bearing the initial letters
of the organization m. A" on the
front. He was also armed with two
stout canvas bags about two by three
feet in size. having upon the outside
his name in full and the letters Nj. A.
surrounded by a circle. AT each alarm
of fire the members of the company
responded with hat and bags; and if
fellow members property was in danger
saved what they could, and conveyed
it in these bags to some place of safety.
We find among the list of members
of this organization in 1903 such names
as Beekman, Bleecker Cruger, Cut
ting. lie Peyster, Roosevelt, Stuyvesant
and others as we'll known; showing
that many of the pioneer merchants of
New York City were incorporators of
this mutual fire protective association.
1t is extremely interesting to picture
to the mind group of these sturdy
c11 MI ~ hnplyprS WORKING il
cally amid the exciting surroundings of
a fire, slowing goods and chattels away
in canvas bags bearing names that
have since become historically famous
or prominently identified with the
growth of old Manhattan.
In 1889 the present fire patrol was
organized, practically evolving, SO far
as records show, from this same Mu-
tual Bag Company. Their headquar
ters were on Dutch street, where a
small wagon, pulled by hand, was kept
stored on the top floor of the build
ing. This wagon was lowered to the
street each evening at p. M, and
hois.ed back again at 5 a. M; between
these hours the fire patrolmen were on
duty. Later the service was increased
by the addition of another wagon and
more men; and in 1870 the patrol was
reorganized and put upon a more sub
stantial and more effective basis.
Three stations were opened in differ
ent parts of the city, and the COM
panies, Under command of three Off
GERS, were taken from the regular Fire
Department. The most approved wag-
ons and the best telegraphic instru-
ments were introduced, and the finest
horses obtainable were purchased for
the service.
1t is a question whether any branch
of the regular Fire Department re-
sponded so quickly as the detachments
