Beef Tea In Haste

Cut all fat and skin from about pound
of lean, juicy beef, put it on board and
with strong, sharp knife scrape it quickly
SO that the lean becomes fine pulp, leav-
ing only the stronger muscles unused. Have
ready a very small saucepan, put in the
pulped meat, cover with four tablespoons Of
cold water, beat it with silver fork to free
the juice, place it ON the hob to heat mod
crately, while you beat the juice out OF the
meat with spoon squeezing it free of juice
in strainer over the saucepan, allow the
beef tea to just simmer for two seconds,
when it will be ready for use. If salt is not
forbidden, small pinch may be added to
the raw meat and cold water.

The Nose Does Not Show Are

Bone and cartilage enter so largely into
the structure Of the nose and determine its
ceptible change, as rule, with the lapse OF
years. The brow becomes wrinkled and
crows feet gather round the eyes, which
themselves gradually grow dim as time rolls
on; cheeks lose their bloom, which cosmetics
cannot replace, and lips their fullness and
color. The chin, dimpled in youth, devel
ops angularities or globularities, as the case
may be, and the eyebrows become heavy
with the crop of many years growth. The
nose shows no mark comparable with these
familiar facial indications of the approach
Of odd age, and practically enjoys immunity
from the ravages which time makes on the
other features of the face.--Chicago Times

A RECEPTIVE MIND.
The Wonderful Memory of Noted French
Author.

Author.
Theophile Gautier, the French
author, was gifted with an extraordi-
nary memory. Whatever he had
heard or seen remained engraved upon
his mind.
On the day on which the two first
volumes Of Hugos ''Legende des ST.
ecles' were published, the author
dined in Gautier's company at the
house of another friend. There were
several literary men present, all allied
more or less closely to the tribe of ro
manticists, admirers of Victor Hugo,
and counting upon finding a feast of
good things in his new work.
In the course of the talk Gautier re-
marked: Let us prove what we ad-
vance. I will recite Les Lions to you"
And in a clear voice, his eyes gazing
steadfastly as though he were reading
from afar a book visible to himself
alone, he recited the whole piece, not
repeating himself once, never hesitat-
ing, and not mistaking single syl-
liable
Yet he had read it that morning for
the first time.
Many times his friends, doubtful
upon some point of history, language,
geography, anatomy or art, referred
the matter to him, and received i'm
mediate satisfaction. They used to say
then: eve have only to turn over the
leaves of Theo."

Big Guns Short Lived. :.

"The life of gun is one of the most
unsatisfactory things about it," re-
marked an ordnance officer in discuss
ing the war question with Washing
tn Star reporter, "and though a num-
ber of experiments have been made
In connection Herewith, there is no
absolute certainty as to results. A
general rule has been arrived at which
is thought t" be on the safe side of the
matter, and that is that the modern
steel guns should not be fired more than
100 times. After that, it matters not
what the emergency may be. it is safer
to dismantle the gun and send it back
to the shop than to risk firing it, for
the explosion of gun is a decidedly
and extensively dangerous occurrence
to all in its immediate locality. The
firing of a gun causes the steel to crys-
tallize and thereby become brittle as
file So far us has yet been discovered
there is no remedy for it. 1t is not
exactly total loss after the gun has
become dead, for the steel can be used
for thousands of things in the way of
bolts, braces and the like for new
work and for repairs. AS is generally
known, a modern gun is an expensive
affair, running from 5000 awaw up.
Ii Is equally expensive to keep it in
operation, the cost from each cartridge
sent from it being over 81 900, which
d"Ss not include the putting of the
gun on its emplacement or taking it
down, nor the thousands of dollars
necessarily expended in paying salaries
and subsistence of the officers and men
who operate it. This capitalization
of the metal is one of the mysteries of
the science of ordnance. The gun

heating it to white heat and allow

A WARRANT FOa FOREST.
Governor BJdd Honors the Requi
siticn From New York

Frank S. Price. agent for the State Of
New York, called on Governor Budd
yesterday with a requisition for the ar
rest of DR.. W. E. Forest Of Los Angeles.
The specific charge on which the war
rant was issued is that in New York
last April the doctor. who in addition to
his business as a medical practitioner,
had a scheme for making those rich who
invested in it, and had issued pamphlet
entitled How to Make Five Per Cent a
Week" was entrusted by a broker with
$1,000 worth of mining stock. on which
he was to borrow $500 giving the
stock as collateral security.
He had a rich patient named Freeman,
whom he was treating for rheumatism
and representing to him that the stock
was paying large dividends, ne induced
him to buy the stock, paying s., 800 for
It. When asked by the broker by whom
the stock had been intrusted to him. for
its return, he made the excuse that he
had a friend who would lend him the

money, but that he had not been able to
see him.
He shortly afterwards came to Los
Angeles, married and settled down there
and it was not until a few weeks ago
! that the New York authorities found out
where be was.
| Jesse T. Waterman of Los Angeles ap-
peared before the Governor as attorney
for Forest and argued against the hon
oring of the requisition, quoting num-
ber of decisions, but Governor Budd
could not see that they upheld his view
/ of the case, as an Indictment had been
! found against Forest and the presump-
! tiOn was from certificate of the Gov
ernor of New York, that all the papers
had been properly prepared.
| Mr.. Waterman argued that the Gov
ernor should insert in the warrant a di-
rection that the prisoner be allowed a
| chance to sue out a writ of habeas cor
pus in order to protect him in his rights
and that if this were not done Forest
might be spirited away before a writ
could be obtained
The Governor did not agree with him,
! however. and thought such direction
would vitiate the warrant and that be-
fore Forest could be taken out of the
State some one of the Judges at Los
! Angeles could issue a writ.
| He then signed the warrant that is to
| take Forest back to New York for trial.
