IMITATION EGGs.-The latest pro-
duct of American genius in the grocery
line is artificial eggs, says The Grocery
World. The new idea is not made in
imitation of the egg itself, but is a
powder made from skim milk. For
cooking uses it is said to be identical
with eggs.
The new powder is claimed by the
hackers to do just as we'll in cooking
as fresh eggs and much better than the
stale. The new powder does not dete-
rioate, and its effect in cooking is the
same as that of a fresh egg, with this
difference-that only two-thirds of the
usual amount of shortening is required.
1t is estimated that pound of the
powder is equivalent to six and half
dozen eggs. A pound is little more
than a pint of milk. The inventor as
serts that artificial eggs will be as
standard a product as patent flour
within two years.
More than 20 per cent. of the egg
powder is proteids, though the per-
centage of albumen, or egg white, is
about one-half as large as in the hen
eggs. The only ingredient lacking is
the albuminoid of iron, which is unim-
portant. Milk eggs will be made all
the year round.

gone. One flash Of her white robe at the
gate, then all was dark on the highway,
and only the old father stood in that
wide open door, waiting, as he vowed
he would wait. till his daughter re-
turned.
"She had not gone alone. A faithful
groom was behind her, and from him
was learned the conclusion Of that
quest. For al hour and half they rode;
then they came upon a chapel in the
mountains in which were burning un-
wonted lights. At the sight the lady
drew rein and almost fell from her
horse into the arms of her lackey. A
marriage she murmured, "a mar
riage, and pointed to carriage stand
ing in the shadow Of a wide spreading
tree. Itwas their family carriage. How
we'll she knew it. Rousing herself, she
made for the chapel door. I will stop
it, she cried. i am her mother, and I
have the right But the lackey drew
her back by her rich white dress
'Lookp he cried, pointing in at one of
the windows, and she looked. The man
she loved stood before the altar with
her daughter. He was looking in that
daughters face, and his look showed
passionate devotion. Invent like dag
ger to her heart. Crushing her hands
against her face, she walled out some
fearful protest; then she dashed toward
the door with Stop! Stop' on her
lips. But the faithful lackey at her side
drew her back once more. 'Listenp was
now his word, and she listened. The
minister whose form she had failed to
see in her first hurried look was utter
ing his benediction. She had come too
late. The young couple were married.
"Her servant said, for so the tradi-
tion survives, that when she saw this
she grew calm as walking death in an
instant. Making her way into the chap
ell, she stood ready at the door to greet
them as they issued forth, and when
they saw her there, saw the rich bedrag-
gled robe and the gleam Of jewels on a
neck she had not even stopped to envel-
op in more than the veil from her hair,
he seemed to see what he had done and
stop. I'd the bride, who in her confusion
would have fled back to the altar where
she bad just been made a wife.
'Kneelp he cried. 'Kneel, Amarynth!
Only thus can we ask pardon Of our
mother But at that word, that wor,
which seemed to push her million
miles away from these two beings, who
but two hours before had been the dear
est beings on earth to her, the unhappy
woman gave a cry and fled from their
presence. Col Cor were her parting
words. AS you have chosen, continue.
But let no tongue call me mother
Henceforth am mother to no one.

"They found her lying on the grass
outside. As she could no longer sustain
herself on horse they put her into the
carriage, gave the reins to her devoted
lackey and themselves rode off on horse
back. One man, the fellow who had
driven them to that place, said that the
clock struck 10 from the chapel tower
as the carriage turned away and began
it's rapid journey home. That may be 80
and it may be not. We only know that

girl in the town every one thought he
would 90 as he had come, a free hearted
bachelor, when suddenly one night a
horse and carriage were found lacking
from the stables, and he was found lack
ing, too, and, what was worse, the young
widow s daughter, chit who was bare
ly Is and without hundredth part Of
the beauty of her mother. Love and an
elopement only could account for this,
for in those days young ladies did not
ride with gentlemen in the evening for
pleasure, and when it came to the old
gentleman's ears, and, what was worse,
came to the mothers, there was COM
motion in that house the echoes OF
which some say have never died out.
Though the pipers We're playing and the
fiddles were squeaking in the great
room where they used to dance the night
away, Mrs. Knollys, with her white bro
cade tucked up about her waist, stood
with her hand on the great front door,
waiting for the horse upon which she
was determined to follow him. The IA

by her side. He was too old to ride him
self, but he never sought to hold her
back, though the jewels were tumbling
from her hair and the moon had van
ished from the highway.
"'I will bring her back or die, the
passionate beauty exclaimed, and not
lip there said her nay, for they saw
what no man or woman had been able
to see up to that moment, that her very
life and soul were wrapped up in the
man who had stolen away her daughter
and that it would be death in life for
her to live with the knowledge that she
had given him wife Of her blood who
was not herself.
"Shrill went the pipes, squeak and
hum went the fiddles, but the sound

wild kiss on her father and bounded
from the house. An instant and she was

FILIPINOS LIKE CHILDREN.
General Wesley Merritt Says They Canno
Be Considered as Citizens.

General Wesley Merritt Says They Cannot
Be Considered as Citizens.
General Wesley Merritt, who is still
in London, says a dispatch, has read
with a great deal of interest a long
letter of complaint against American
officials in the Philippine Islands, ad-
dressed by the so.called Filipino junta
to President Mckinley and the peo-
pie.
In discussing the Filipinos, the
American general refers to them as
"children" and says that it would be
impossible to establish American gov.
ernment in the islands. He adds that
thew must have some form of colonial
governments. Regarding the com.
plants of the Fllipinos, the general
says:
"It was impossible to recognize the
insurgents and I made it a point not
to do 80, as I knew it, would lead to
complications. Admiral Dewey, after
my arrival, pursued the same course.
What was done before is not for me to
comment on. I purposely did not
recognize Aguinaldo or his troops, nor
did I use them in any way. Aguinal-
dy did not ask to see me until ten days
after my arrival. After that, was
too much occupied to see him.
"In talking with leading Filipinos l
told them the United States had no
promises to make but that they might
be assured that the government and
people of the United States would
treat them fairly. This was because
the United States is in the habit OF
dealing fairly with all struggling peo-
plies, and not because I had been au-
thorized to say anything of the kind.
ave purposely did not give the In
surgents notice of our attack on Mani
la, because we did not need their CO.
operation and did not propose to have
it. We were moved by fear that they
might loot and plunder and possibly
murder. Aguinaldo's subordinate lead
ers, in conversing with American ott-
GERS, frequently said they intended to
cut the throats of all the Spaniards in
Manila.
"Aguinaldo himself wrote d COM
planning letter, saying the insurgents
had been denied their share of the
booty,' whatever he may have meant
by that. Itook no notice of this letter,
nor do think the subject now raised
is a matter for discussion between
Aguinaldo and any representative of
the American government"

Miseellaneous Rsading.
AT HOME To HER.

A little incident will sometimes show
the character of man more clearly
than a great act. Mr.. Laurence Hut
ton in magazine article, tells a story
of Edwin Booth that reveals the kind
ly heart of the man whom the world
knew as a famous actor.
Mr.. Hutton called upon Mr.. Booth
one afternoon at the Albemarle hotel,
lin New York, and found him in an
easy chair, with pipe in his month.
The long chat which ensued was not
undisturbed. Mr.. Booth was in great
request, and before long a waiter en-
tered aad put a card into his hand.
"Tell the lady that Mr.. Booth is en-
gagged" was the quiet answer, and an
Influential leader in New York society
went away disappointed.
A few minutes later a second caller
man honorably known throughout
the country-turned away without
seeing Mr.. Booth. Yet another card
was sent down with the statement that
'sMr. Booth was engaged" and gen.
tleman and his wife, whom few people
would have refused to receive, became
convinced that the actor was an ex.
ception to the rule; but at last came a
name that met with a different fate.
"Show the lady up" said the now
interested actor, and Mr.. Hutton put
on his overcoat to leave the room. He
was not allowed to depart. The lady
was a friend of his, and would be glad
to see him, he was assured.
Thereupon he waited, curious to dis.
cover the identity of the person who
could obtain an audience with the man
who had been too tired to see the
daughter of one of the most distin.
guished men of science in the country,
or Judge of the supreme court of the
United States, or bishop and his wife.
The door opened, and in walked
black Betty, the old Negro servant
who had nursed Mr.. Booths daughter
when she was a baby, had taken the
most tender care of his wife when she
was slowly dying, and had been a life
long friend to them all. She had left
Mr.. Booths service after his daughters
marriage, and had been recently mar
ried herself.
She kissed "Massa Edwin's" hand,
shook hands cordially with Mr.. Hut.
ton, and let herself be placed in the
most comfortable rocking-chair. Then
she began to talk familiarly about her
own affairs and Mr.. Booths. She
could not afford to 60 to the theatre
"no mo-" she said, but she wanted her
husband to see "Massa Edwin play"
Could she have a pass for two that
night?
He wrote the pass at once, and
nut it into her hand. She read it and
returned it with shake of her head
"They was only niggers," she said
"The do'keeper wouldn't let no niggers
into the orchestra seats; pass to the
gallery was good enough for them"
A second paper she received silently
but with another and still more decided
shake of her head. Glancing over her
shoulder, Mr.. Hutton read, "Pass my
friend, Betty Blank, and party to my
box this evening. Edwin Booth" And
Betty occupied the box.

KEPT WITHIN BOUNDS.

In an old biography of Chief Justice
Marshall there is an anecdote which
gives significant hint of the discip-
lipe to which young people were
subject in that earlier day.
Several of the great jurist's nieces
were in the habit of visiting him, and
as they were young and attractive, the
house became a rendezvous for the
landing young men of the city during
the afternoons. Judge Marshall's
black majordomo, old Uncle Joseph,
held tight rein upon these visitors.
Every day at 4 o'clock he would ap-
pear at the door of the drawing room
iu spotless livery, and with a profound
bow would announce:
"Ladies, his honor, the chief justice,
has retired to his room to prepare TOR
dinner.
"Gentlemen, dinner will be served
at 4.30 o'clock. 1t is now 4. His hon.
or will be pleased if you will remain,
and covers have been laid for you at
the table. If you cannot remain, will
you permit the young ladies to retire
to prepare for the meal ?"
The gentlemen usually took their
leave, and the ladies retired IN an Ill
humor; but any remonstrance with
Joseph was only answered by, ut Is
the rule of the house. Young folks
must be kept within bounds"
In Virginia houses of the better class,
Notwithstanding their almost boundless
hospitality, the calls of young men In
that day were strictly held within
limit. No one was received as q visi-
tor to an unmarried girl unless his an
tecedents and character were we'll
known to her parents.
If his visit was prolonged until after
10 o'clock, the invitation to family
prayers was given. If he seemed
likely to become an habitue of the
house, and so to engage the thoughts,
and perhaps in time the affection OF
the young girl who was its chief treas
ure, her father quietly asked the pur-
port of his visits and if he had none,
other than his own amusement, courte-
ously requested him to discontinue his
calls.

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS INsTALLMENTs.
In order that new readers of The En-
oUIRER may begin with the following in
stallment of this story, and understand it
lust the same as though they had read it
all from the beginning, we here give
synopsis of that portion OF 1t which mas
already been published:
Amelia Butterworth, who has done
clever detective work, is called upon by
Mr.. Gryce, q professional detective. To
take up an interesting case. He tells her
that i'm a certain village several persons
have suddenly disappeared. In this place
lives a family of the name of Knollys, the
children of q former friend OF Miss
Butterworth. Mr.. Gryce desires Miss
Butterworth to enter this family for detec-
tive work. Miss Butterworth goes to
visit the Knollys' home, finding there
Misses Lucetta and Loreen knollys ana
their brother William. She dimes with
the family and is taken to her room. She
remains awake during the night, and,
hearing strange noises, goes into the hall
and calls Lucetta, who gives unsatlsfacto-
ry reasons for the disturbance. Mr..
Trohm, a neighbor visits the knollys:
Lucetta is terrified at seeing him ana
faints, Miss Butterworth receives let
ter from Mr.. Gryce telling her that if she
is in danger to blow upon whistle ne
sends her. An old crome called Mother
Jane appears. Miss Butterworth gives
her a quarter, whereupon Mother Jane
repeats curious combination OF NUMBERS.
