HAVE LOST FAVOR.
Savories to Serve at Afternoon Teas
In Place OF Cake or Waters.

Savorfes to Serve at Afternoon Teas
I'm Place OF Cake or Waters.
Cakes and waters have lost favor at
tea tables. They have been replaced by
little savories, which harmonic with
the popular antique silver and china
by passing under their old-fashioned
name of 'whets;" for the afternoon
tea. originally intended to be q light
refreshment. had become a detriment
to the dinner. Savories, on the con-
trary, are q whet to the appetite and
clear the palate for the due apprecia-
tion of the dinner. Two or three diff
ferent kinds are usually served. Any
body possessed of little cooking
knowledge can arrange a variety Of
them at a minimum of trouble and ex-
pense. and in their variety lies half
their charm.
There are many kinds of fish, both
preserved in oil and smoked, that may
be used. These should be sprinkled
with chopped fine herbs. placed upon
thin slices of fresh bread-from which
the crust has been carefully cut-rolled
and served en- pyramide.
| 1Oasteu Crullpets' hedNlly Dutuereu,
spread with caviar upon which a little
lemon juice has been squeezed, and
served hot, are considered a great deli
cacy on English tea tables. Another
way of serving caviar is to spread it on
thin bread and butter, which is then
rolled up like tiny cigars. Russians de-
clare, however, that the less done to
caviar the better it win be, and to send
it to the tea table in its original jar
with an accompaniment Of fresh dry
toast and quartered lemon is the fash.
ion preferred by connoisseurs.-From

IN PACKING TRuNKs.
How TO Co About the TraIs and Pre-
wont ufsbeycIra yyurlrobee.

How TO Co About else TraIs and Pre-
vent Dishcvclcd WurIrobes.
Now a word of advice can be given to
the woman traveller who is not so fortu-
nate as TO possess a well-trained maid.
Pack your own trunks and pack with
care. More rumpled and impossible
gowns are due to careless packing and
loose adjusting than any other one
thing. No amount of tight packing or
OF pressure applied downward will do
more than accentuate the natural folds.
A single toss of the trunk that is loose
" packed means n hopeless tumble of
hats, wraps. bodices, laees and what
not. Begin at the foundation with the
heaviest garments. Do not fold too
much; shake skirts from the waistband
and spread them out the entire length
without folding if the size of the trunk
will allow. If not, spread out with
great care in the folds which are nat
urally taken when held in an upright
position and turn over smoothly at the
top. Shake wraps from the shoulders.
lay them out in the fcSds which they
naturally take, with great care smooth
the sleeves and turn the fronts over on
the back. smoothing and adjusting all
trimmings and frills so rs to avoid
horizontal creases. 1t is impossible TO
so fold a garment as TO avoid all lines,
but those taken lengthwise of the cloth
readily disappear and are also little
noticed, as they take the direction of
the folds formed by the garment itself
Jackets, however, must be so man
aged as not to show a crease. Loose
bodices require tissue paper for the
support of puffs and the like. but they
can be saved from much rumpling il
spread out in the trunk and folded as
little as possible. Then pack close an6
tight. Reluctant as we are to bear
down upon our finery, packing that is
well and scientifically done will in
iure them less than being thrown int,
n heap at one end of the trunk. Stock
ings and small wear can be used tC
wedge corners. Skirts, night dresse.
and white wear can be spread between
dress skirts and bodices of silk and or
candle, and so made to serve as protec
ton and economize space by doing
away with the necessity of extri
clothes. Hats should be packed firmly
so as not to move, and for this purpos
any light articles. such as handker
chiefs, mouchoir cases or soft and phi
able objects that viii not crush nor in
iure the fashionable headgear, may b
used.-Philadelphia Times.

CONFERENCE REPORT
Presented to the Senate, and Some
Items Cause Debate.
FOR THE COMPETITOR PRISONERS.
Representative Mitchell introduced a Bill
Into the House Asking the Estab-
Iishment of a Reserve Fund For
Redemption of Notes.

Washington, July 21.-The tariff con-
ference report has been presented to
the senate. though but little progress
has thus far been made on 1t beyond
the formal reading Of about two-thires
Of the report. There is no indication Of
when the final vote win be reached.
Mr. Tlllman (Dem) of South Carcii-
ma openly threatened a flibuster until
next December If cotton bagging and
cotton ties were not restored TO the
free list, but the threat was regarded
as somewhat facetious.
The sugar amendments occasioned a
long debate, during which Mr.. Allison
stated that the conference rates were
lower than those of the senate and
largely a concession to the house. Sem
ators Vest, Jones, Berry and White
questioned this statement, urging that
the Sugar trust secured larger benefits
from the conference schedule than from
any previously offered
The lumber amendment also brought
out animated criticism from Senators
! Teller and Pettigrew.
The senate passed a joint resolution
authorizing and requesting the presi-
dent to take all necessary steps for the
release Of the Competitor prisoners from
prison in Havana.
Representative Mitchell Of New York
has introduced in the house a BIN to
establish a currency reserve fund for
the redemption of United States notes
and treasury notes of 1890. The fund
shall aggregate at the start S150,00O 900
of which not over $1,000 600 shall con-
sist of gold and the remainder Of Unit.
ed States and treasury notes.
The fund shall be added to from time
to time as the treasury's cash balapc'
exceeds S75, 900 900. but shall never ag
gregate more than $500 900 900. The funG
shall be used to redeem United States
and treasury notes. which shall not b.
reissued except in exchange for gold t.
| be deposited IN the reserve fund.

n,cvcIeS superior 60 Horses.

The feat Of a baltimore bicyclist, who
rode 40 in 10 hours, and ga miles in "a
hours, seems TO show that the new mo-
tor is superior TO the horse in more ways
than one. It is not only insensible TO
fatigue, but it is superior in point Of
both speed and endurance. Probably
the best record ever made by horse
was that of the animal ridden by Count
strahrenberg, in October, 1892, which
covered the distance from Vienna 10
Berlin. 400 miles, in n hours and 3i
minutes. This was far inferior 10 the
314 miles made by the human muscle,
with the aid of the wheel, in "a hours.
The horse can go where the bicycle
cannot. but, given good roads, he stands
no chance with it in a race against
either time or distance.-Philadelphia

BLIND COUPLE KEEPING HOUSE.

Housekeeper n Mechanical Genius
and wife an Excellent Manager.
No neater or more tidy home exists in
South Kokomo, Ind, than that of Mr..
and Mrs. William Brinlman, both of
whom have been sightless since child
hood. They keep house by themselves.
Brinkman is a mechanical wonder and
his wife is an accomplished elocution-
list. having Travelled q number of sea-
sons. Mr.. Brinllman is an expert piano
tuner and clock repairer. Recently
the county commissioners employed
him to repair the big clock on the court
house tower that had bafled the skill
of a number of experts with good eyes.
and after a few days work he had it in
first-class condition. The clocks place
in the tower is 15S feet above the
ground. The commissioners were so
we'll pleased with the blind mans sue
cess that they have employed him by
the year to keep the clock in repair. He
is a sprinter and has a record of walk
ing 2i blocks in 10 minutes ON a crowd
ed street, with no assistance except his
cane. He also rides q bicycle success
fully. though he does not 60 long dis
tances unless anotheu wheelman is by
his side or i'm front of him. Mrs. Brink
man is an accomplished equcstrienne,
and before suffering paralytic stroke
delighted in riding a spirited horse, ac-
companied by an escort. Their mar
riage five years ago was the result of
an attachment formed IL years ago,
when they met at the same institution
for the blind, Of which both are grad
yates. IL was, as they say, a case of
''love at first sight" Three years ago
Mrs. Brinkman was stricken with total
paralysis Of the limbs, and since then
has been entirely helpless, unable 10
move hand or foot. The blind husband
has the sole care of his blind, help
less wife. This he does in addition TO
keeping house, responding to calls for
piano tuning, clock mending and at
tending to a confectionery and sta
tionery store in the front of the house,
All this he does without assistance
He refuses aid. and declines all offers
of help from relatives. While hum
dreds of able-bodied men have de-
pended on the county for support, this
plucky blind man has supported him
self and his blind, helpless wife without
aid from any source.-Chicago Chron'

Zinc skin Crcnun

For those who have occasion to use
much cold cream. the following recipe
will prove not only most healing and
delightful, but can be made at one-quar-
ter the expense that one is in the habit
of incurring for creams of best quality:
Take one-half pound of the very best
lard and boil five minutes in n pint of
water, then place in cold water to cool.
When perfectly cold. boil in exactly
the same way again. Repeat this opera
ton four times. Then melt this clari-
fed lard by itself and thoroughly beat
into il a small-sized bottle of glycerine
and cucumber. Another excellent cold
cream is made as follows; Take two
ounces of oil of sweet almonds, one
dram of white wax. one dram of
spermaceti, one-half pint of rose water
or orange water. Melt and stir in n
mortar till cold. A very simple and ef-
ficacious salve for the lips may be made
by taking equal parts of almond or
olive oil and the best white wax. Melt
the wax in a clean saucepan, set it on
the side of the stove, and stir in the oil.

A FAMOUS BAKERY.
How the BoIlnnds became Cake
Makers for the Royal Family.

How the BoIInnds became Cake
Makers for the Royal Family.
In one of the old buildings which
bear the architectural imprint OF
Queen Anne's time in Chester. England,
is a bake shop. Not an ordinary bake
shop, for the royal arms jut out from
the second story and Immediately above
Is q sign bearing the name "Bollands."
And the proximity of the sign to the
royal arms is no idle commercial myth
to ensnare new customers.
In the annals of the tradesfOlk of
Chester there never was a greater man
than Richard Bolland, the original
owner Of the bake shop. SiXty-one
years ago the duchess of Kent and her
young daughter, Princess Victoria,
visited the city for the purpose of Of
ficially opening n new bridge that was
TO bring all kinds Of Importance and
prosperity to the town. OF course, il
was an immense event for Chester and
everyone did something to make the
visit OF the great folks memorable.
Richard Bolland was ambitious, but
poor, and he churned his brains might
lily to devise some attractive method
of showing his loyal appreciation of the
visit. In happy moment he decided
to make some small cakes of trans
cendent excellence. put them in a fancy
box and present them TO the young
princess.
Happy thought! Potent cakesl Great
Bolandl
The next year the little princess,
whose palate had been enchanted by
the flavor of the Chester cakes, became
queen of England, and one of the first
acts after her accession in 1897 was
the appointment Of Bolland as one Of
the queens warrant holders. So much
for the power of a small box Of cakes.
How long the flavor OF those cakes
fingered in the royal memory is shown
by the fact that 25 years later, when
the prince of Wales was to be married,
Victoria gave a commission to Bolland
TO prepare the wedding cake for that
great event. 1t was no ordinary we'd
ding cake that Mr.. Bolland produced
either, and its exhibition earned him
such tremendous fame that every Eng.
1sh bride OF wealth and prominence
who has married since then has had
the Chester baker prepare her wedding
cake.
Descendants of the original Bollant
now conduct the shop, but they use the
same recipe that proved so successful
in the days Of Victoria's childhood, an'
still bake cakes for the royal family

Land pIstrIets For AlasI.a.

washington. July 21,-Commissioner
Hermann of the general land office has
stated that he will recommend the es-
tablishment of two land districts In
western Alaska, the two offices to be
placed on the Yukon river or It's tribu-
taries. in anticipation of a great num-
ber of contentious over mineral land To-
cations in various sections where the
gold discoveries have lately been made.
He says that as that region is prac-
tically without law, especially as to the
settlement Of contests, the local land
offices will be of infinite value to the
land interests and indirectly to the
preservation Of law and order. The Of
fees, it is probable. will be located at

eral land office is in hourly expectation
