shotgun Given "To Boots but the
Deal Not Satisfa ctory.

Elmra, N. Y, Sept. z.-Eugene Foster,
who resides In the town of Catherine, was
arrested yesterday at the instance OF Su-
perintendent of the Poor Shulenberg, on
complaint Of his wife, who charged him
with being a disorderly person. Fosters
lawful wife, a girl said to be 16 years old,
was traded by him to william Hawkins
about the middle of last month, Hawkins
agreeing that Foster should have Mrs.
Hawkins in exchange Hawkins, how
ever, later became dissatisfied with his
bargain, and Foster, to compromise mat
ters, gave him a shotgun of doubtful
value. Still unsatisfcd, Hawkins aban-
doned his newly acquired consort, and she
was at length forced to go to her rela-
tives at Beaver Dams, where she later
applied to Superintendent Shulenberg for
aid, after telling him her story.
Foster was found In Catherine, where
he was living apparently in bliss with the
legal wife of Hawkins. The latter was
at Fosters place when the superintend-
ent first called. but on learning that a
warrant was out for him he disappeared
and has not been seen since.

FRANCO.RUSSIAN COMMERCE.
Kussia's Protective Policy t.ot Likely
to Be Abandoned.

Paris, Sept. 2-The minister of COM
merce, NJ. Boucher is quoted, in an in
terview printed by the Gaulois, today, as
saying that the governments of France
and Russia are anxious to make every
effort compatible with their economic in
terests to develop commercial intercourse
between the two countries. Continuing,
NJ. Boucher said he did not entertain
the least hope that Russia would aban-
don her protective poncy, as the chief OBJ
ject of Russia was to draw capital into
the Empire, and that policy had been
crowned with success, many, French
Swiss, Belgian and other manufacturers
having established works in Russia. On
the other hand, the aim of France was
20 encourage exports Where large gov
ernment contracts could be obtained
French influence had succeeded in OBJ
tanning them. For instance, contracts
had recently been obtained to construct
eighty locomotives for Russia and to
build a new bridge over the Neva. But,
he added, individual enterprise must still
exert itself.

WAYS OF SERVING EGGS.

Scrambled EgGs-Have ready on a plat
ter some slices of buttered toast. Put
small frying pan on the fire. Put into 1t
a heaping tablespoonful of butter. Break
six eggs into dish. Sprinkle little salt
over them. As soon as the butter begin
to bubble quickly turn the eggs into the
frying pan. Take a silver knife in the
right hand. Held the handle of the pan
with the left hand. Now with the knife
in the right hand stir the eggs, cutting
through them deftly and quickly, so the
yolks and whites are well mixed. DO
not cook them till hard. Scrambled eggs
are only nice when soft. As soon as they
are done turn them on toast and serve.
Chopped green peppers in scrambled eggs
are delicious.
Eggs-Au Gratin--Chop fine six sprigs of
parsley, a small onion, half an ounce of
the soft part of bread an anchovy, and
then mix the whole with two ounces Of
butter Add the yolks of two raw eggs
mix them well with the other ingredients
place the mixture in a tin dish, stand it
on slow fire, and when it begins to get
rather dry break half a dozen eggs over
it, dust with bread crumbs, season with
salt and pepper. Stand the dish in the
oven, and, when nearly done spread over
the top the yo!ks of two eggs well beaten,
with a teaspoonful of water. Stand the
| dish in the oven again for two minutes,
when the eggs will be done. Serve very
| hot.
Boiled Eggs-1n boiling eggs, always
| place them in cold water slightly salted,
| and just enough water to cover the eggs.
! BY putting them in cold water with a lit
| tie salt the shell are less apt to crack.
Fresh eggs cool quicker than those a
| few days old. The length of time for
boiling eggs depends entirely upon the
| taste of the individual. An egg placed in
| cold water, if boiled one minute after
the water comes to a boil, is medium.
| Boiled four minutes after the water be-
| gins to boil the egg will be hard. Taken
| out of the water as soon as it begins to
/ boil, it will be soft. Remember, above
AL things, do not let the eggs dance
around in the water from rapid boiling
but just let them simmer gently.-New
