THE musical people of Houston are so
frequently called upon to contribute their
talents In the interest OF various charities
that 1t has occurred to me-" said Mr.. Chas,
Lewis. Leader OF Lewis Military band,
that it would be good idea to give a
big charity entertainment every year for
the benefit OF the poor Ct the city. similar
TO the charity balls that are given annually
IN the larger cities for this purpose.
II don't know that ball in Houston
would be as profitable as a grand concert
and bazaar and in this behalf am willing

and viii even 20 farther by taking charge
or the musical feature OF the entertain
ment
Il think all musicians in the city would
be- willing 10 contribute their talent 10
such an undertaking.
my idea OF the plan Is this. Let all who
are willing to contribute TO such an enter
prise send in their names TO The Post and
Will call upon them in the interest OF

tainmcnt Is arranged for would then suG-
qcst the appointment Of a committee OF
well known citizens to take charge OF the
financial feature of the enterprise in the
way OF tho sale of tickets, the handling and
subsequent distribution OF tho funds that
might be raised.
II would not favor putting the enter
prise under the auspices or patronage OF
any Of the organized charitable institutions
of the city. My plan would DO to make
II for the poor generally.

FOREIGN NOTES.

Women as guides are becoming nu.
merous in London, and are more than
ordinarily popular. They belong to a
large organization known as the Lady
Guide association.
The Royal free hospital of London
is given over entirely to the education
of female students, and the physicians
clerks, the surgical dressers, the med
ical and surgical registrars, the an
aestheists and the clinical assistants
are all women selected from the alum
nae of the school.
The Graefe gold medal, which is
awarded by the German Ophthalmolog-
zeal society every ten years, has this
year been awarded to Prof. Theodore
Leber, of Heidelberg, in recognition of
his work on inflammation. Prof. Won
Helmholz was the first to receive the
medal, the award being made for his
discovery of the ophthalmoscope and
his treatise on physiological optics.
Three young Hungarians, the daugh-
tiers of Count Basquez, intend to go on
the music-hall stage. They have not
yet finished their education, but have
arranged to go in for regular training
at the earliest possible opportunity.
Considering that the average Hungari
an girl is born musician and dancer,
they will probably soon rise to all the
possibilities of their adopted profes-
sinn

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Dissolve a little salt in the alcohol
that is to be used for sponging cloth
ing, particularly where there are
greasy spots.
A high stool or chair is of great con-
renience in kitchen, as it enables the
housewife to sit down when doing work
that must be accomplished on a table.
Tomatoes are almost as useful when
green as when ripe. Green tomatoes
are an excellent vegetable fried. Cut
them into slices half an inch thick,
sprinkle them with salt and pepper,
dip in egg, and roll in crumbs; they
fry each side until brown.
Fancy pipes with large bowls can BIZ
made very ornamental by filling the
bowls with good earth and setting in
them plants like the little wandering
Jew, or some easily growing, grace
ful vines. Hang the pipes by cords or
ribbons from brackets, or on window
frames.
A thermometer intended to be fas-
tened upon the oven door is one of the
most useful of articles to the cook.
With this the heat of the oven can be
determined without opening the door,
md the baking of cakes, buildings and
,onffles can be accomplished much
,lure successfully.

ASHAMED OF HIS eLuNpER.
Zeal of Hound Led Him Into a Morti-

Zeal of a Hound Led Him Into a Morti-
flying Mistake.
Up among the green hills of Vermont
two country ball mines were contending
for supremacy one hot afternoon in an
old pasture. Among the assembled
spectators was a sad-faced. lop-eared
'houn' dog" which had previously
been investigating the contents of a
woodchuck hole. He had worked his
passage in, says Forest and Stream, un-
til no dog was visible, but steady
stream of dirt shooting out like the
blast from the blowpipe of sawmill
proclaimed that the investigation was
still on. Becoming tired of this, the
hound was sitting down watching the
home team getting done up," wheu
suddenly, without warning, he shot
across the field with a trajectory as fiat
as 32:40 and with nearly the same
velocity. The cause was soon appar-
ent. Several little girls were coming
up through hollow and one was Just
tall enough for her brown hat to show
through the fringe of grass on the ris-
ing ground in front. When the hound
came near enough for the supposed
woodchuck to merge into a hat with a
girl under il he stopped an instant with
look of Mortified surprise. A yell
arose from the assembled farmers who
had seen the incident, and this so NOR.
tilted the hound that he made straight
for home and was invisible for several
DAYS.
