The Hungarian Housekeeper.

The mistress of large household In
Hungary has need to be a very capable
housewife, for she Is numbered with many
cares. You must boil your own soap,
mold your own candles, dry your own
prunes, prepare your own candied fruits
smoke your own sausages, cure your own
hams, bottle your own compotes, make
your own vinegar, store your own fruits
and vegetables, butter and cheese for win
ter use, grind your own maize for culinary
purposes, grow your own wine, act as your
own butcher and poulterer, laundress and
seamstress. The eye of the mistress mus,
be everywhere, even though she invariably
has housekeeper under her. Servants get
much smaller wages, work harder and live
less comfortably, but they are very indie
pendent, and there is absolutely no stand
ard af personal morality among them. H

was in Paris when was there in 1846,
but he was already in such a state Of phys
ical collapse that a friend of mine who
knew him well and saw him from time to
time advised me not to go to see him.
However, one afternoon as 1 and my friend
were sitting on the boulevard near the
Rue Richelicu, slipping cup Of coffee,
"Look there he said; there comes
Heine!" i jumped mp to see. My friend
stopped him and told him who was. 1t
was sad sight. He was bent down and
dragged himself slowly along, his spare,
grayish hair was hanging round his enact
ated face, there was no light in his eyes.
He lifted one of his paralyzed eyelids with
his hand and looked at mo. For time,
like the blue ~sky breaking from behind
gray October clouds, there passed q friend
ly expression across his face, as IL he
thought of days long gone by. Then he
moved on, mumbling line from Goethe,

One of the things that surprise for
eign housekeepers, notably Frenchwomen,
when they come over here Is our cumbrous
domestic machinery Particularly are they
amazed that 1t should be such an almost
universal custom to have the family wash
ing done at home. 1t is bad enough in
the dwellings that shelter only one family
beneath their roofs, but laundry work go
ing on In the little sets Of rooms in the
apartment houses fairly startles the Pari-
sian chatelaine. That this custom must
be changed sooner or later seems inevita-
BILE. So much Of cooperative housekeep-
Ing could be adopted with profit to him OF
them who would undYtake 1t and with
enormous addition to the comfort and con-
venienoe of living The nearest approach
to this millennium at the moment Is the
scheme of some of the, laundries to take
the family washing by the pound. Five
cents per pound on all bundles Of five
pounds or over Is charged, price which
includes the ironing of certain fiat pieces
like towels and bed linen. The starched
pieces are returned starched and dried and
ready to dampen and iron, and the other
pieces rough dried. II such system will
pay in isolated establishments with neces
sarily limited patronage, it deserves a tria

"Human nature crops ont at every an.

sophical air when he had the rest Of the
men in the office for an audience.
"You know l always walk down. This
morning Woodward avenue was glazed
from a fresh flooding and safe only for
those who can stand In slippery places. A
fine old lady with fluffy gray hair and the
general air of duchess came sailing in
from a side street and started to cross on
the asphalt. A banana peel could not have
done the mischievops trick more neatly.
In the twinkling of an eye she was down
in a heap like feather bed thrown from q
second story window.
"Of course rushed to her assistance,
but all she was thinking Of In the world
was how to best reprove little woman on
the sidewalk who was laughing merrily
despite every effort to control herself. The
duchess was making the air very murky
with her opinions of those who laugh with
those who weep, and a few other Scriptural
references twisted to suit the occasion-as
they often are-when the little woman ad-
vanced to apologize and render any aid she
might. But wet asphalt is no respecter OF
persons. Her pretty feet few up, and she
was seated beside the duchess. You never
saw such transformation. Ten years ol
social intercourse would never have made
them so intimate. They clasped hand!
and laughed till the tears rained dowI
their cheeks. BY the time that had their
up they had exchanged names and mum
bers and discovered that they were goinl
/ in the same direction. Then / fell ant
their cup of happiness simply overflowed. ,

Talk OF Lynching Fiends II Caught-Latest
Investigation Adds to Horror Of Tragedy.

shelburne Falls. Jan. 12.-The mystic
rious murder OF Mrs. Hattie E. McCloud
OF this place. which is greatly agitating
the people of western Franklin, has not
yet been thoroughly unraveled but there
are not wanting signs that a chain Of
evidence is being gradually tightened.
and 1t Is not unlikely that arrests may be
made today.
The funeral Of the victim occurred yes
terday afternoon, at the residence of her
father. Mr.. George ID. Crittenden. The
eight remaining daughters and the sew
eral sons-in-law were there, and these
very intimate friends: Mrs. Ozro Miller,
Miss Ida Miller, Miss Nellie Dewsnap,
Mrs. Albert j. Amstein and Mrs. M. q.

were heaped upon the black casket, and

Alley Of the Methodist church. offlciated.
One of the developments of the day is
the talk Of lynchlng in case 1t should be
found that local parties committed the
crime. A sermon preached by Rev. w.
II. <ASihSy ouuudy HiSHt HAS ehClttu
much comment. In speaking of man
who would commit such a crime he said:
IF a rope was thrown around such a
mans neck and he was pulled up along
side telephone pole. such death would
not end his existence. Justice demands
hell for such a man. But the law is
imperative. The law is now largely used
TO defend the guilty."
The officers have reached the conclu-
sion that the crime was committed by
two men. 1t is certain that an outrage
was committed, and there is reason to
think that the assailants of the woman
did not believe she was dead or dying
when she was left in the hollow.
1t is too early yet to give names, but 1t
Ii believed that the officers are tighten
ing the chain Of evidence about one or
more men who are likely to be arrested.
1t Is practically certain that the murder
was committed at 7:15 o'clock.
There is much talk of lyuching should
the perpetrators of the crime be caught
and their guilt certain.
