They gained entrance to the express car and threw the through safe out into ditch, where, with the aid of dynamite, they blew it open and pocketed the contents Just how much money they got is not known Then the robbers escaped on horses thst were in waiting.

Jewels for Rrides.

It is noticeable at many of the smar, weddings of the season that the bride no longer denies herself the wearing of any jewels. 1t used to be sort of un- written but carefully adhered-to law that maiden on her wedding day should have no ornaments save those of her blooming youth and the typical flowers of her state. This, however. has been gradually changed. and brides appear more and more often with su- perb gems It was literally yard of pearls that bride wore on her neck not long ago when she became wife. bit of sentiment about this compara- lively new jewel-wearing of brides is that only the ornaments that are given ay the immediate family or the groom shall be thus honored.-N.

Lecture of a Novelist.

A wel-known novelist delivered lecture recently in which he read selections from his own works. His reputation and the SO ciety that engaged him brought together ar audience composed of the best people of the neighborhood. After the lecture, when people met, it was the proper thing for one 10 ask the other:
 Were you at the lecture?" And the answer Tn every case:
 "Oh, yes, was there, but didn't hear . word. Did you hear the lecture?'
 Well, no, l was there, but couldn', hear, either"
 A friend who met the novelist few days after his visit to the suburban town asked him what kind of audience he had, and how he liked the town

coLL0Ps OF MEAT.
Properly Prepared Make n Very De. 1ictOus and Wholesome
 Dish.

The term collop is applied tc pieces cf meat cut in shapely circular form from cold roast or boiled beef and warmed over in some species of sharp or piquant sauce. The Monday before Ash Wednesday was formerly known as Collop Monday, and was a season when collops of spiced or salted meat were eservedinyery much the same spiri. of fun and feasting that pancakes were served on Shrove Tuesday
 Properly prepared, collop is very delicious and wholesome dish, and it .ffers one solution to the question |: What shall we do with cold roast teef?" Cut rather thin slices from cold roast or boiled beef or mutton. Prepare rich sauce and heat the col lops of meat slowly for about Is min- utes in the boiling sauce without let fling 1t boil. After cooking them this length of time in the sauce let it boil nr once and they are ready. Serve the coilops piled in an even pile on a hot platter, and strain the sauce over them. Any rich. highly-seasoned acid sauce ia good for the purpose. A piquant or sharp sauce is especially nice.
 To prepare this sauce fry teaspoon full of white onion minced fine in table. spoonful of butter, add four tablespoons fuls of good vinegar and let the vinegar cock until it is nearly absorbed. Use a porcelain-lined or granite saucepan for this cooking. Now stir in an even tablespoonful of flour and pour in a pint of broth or brown gravy. Let the sauce boil very slowly for half an hour. Add tic collops of cold meat and cook them as directed before. Just before pour ing the sauce over the collops on the platter add tablespoonful of minced cucumber pickles.--N. Y. Tribune.
