actions, but that the camp is ia the best

Household Hints

Never pierce meat while cooking or
the juice will escape.
Veal must never be laid on a dish,
but hung in an airy place till cooked
Egg shells should be thrown into the
stockpot directly the contents are used
Choose butter by its fresh odor, free
dom from buttermilk and streaks of
color.
Fish for frying should always be dried
thoroughly and dredged thickly with
flour before being bruised over with egg
and bread crumbs.
To scald milk set it in a jug or ba-
sin in pan of cold water over the fire
When the water boils the milk is scald-
ed.
When flavoring soup never use pow
dered spices, as they form a sediment
at the bottom of the plate and spoil the
appearance. Whole cloves and other
spices should be stuck into the vegeta-
bles while boiling. Long pepper is su-
perior to ground, but it requires several
hours boiling.

An Entire Act Encored.

An event took place the other day
at the Grand Theater, which, as far
as we can discover, is without parallel
in theatrical annals. a performance
of La Poupee" was announced, and
the crowd was so great that the audi
ence was not seated when the curtain
rose The first act consequently was
played amid much disturbance, and
when the second commenced it was
hailed with noisy protests and calls for
the manager. On that gentleman max
ing his appearance he was ordered to
start the opera again After a hasty
consultation with the company this
request was good humoredly complied
with and the whole first act was re.
peated.-Pall Mall Gazette.

PROJECTILES TO BURN.
Where Armor Piercing Shells Are
Being Loaded With Powder.

Buried in Picatinny Valley, in one @
the most inaccessible regions of North
ern New Jersey, is the 1900 acre tract
of land which comprises the Govern
ment Reservation. The naval powder
magazine occupies 800 acres of this
tract. For years past there has been
little use for naval powder magazine,
but things are different now, hence
this story
The bucolic serenity of the pretty val
ley has given place to scenes of unwont-
ed activity. The natives are in a state
of tremendous excitement, and even
the squirrels chattering together among
the bare branches of the primeval trees
seem to realize that a war cloud is how
ering over them. The single track Nor
ris County Railroad, built originally as
mine road in the days when iron min
ing was an important industry in Nor
thern New Jersey, may yet surprise it's
owner by earning profit should the
war scare continue.
At the naval powder magazine Cor
nelius Dugan, with rank of senior gun
ner in the United States Navy, a vet
eran who knows the smell of powder
when it is burning, is in charge Un-
der his direction the Government en-
ployes are daily loading shells Weighing
800 and 1.100 pounds apiece with
charges of powder weighing fifty
pounds, though ten pounds of powder
would send one of these steel projec-
tiles asunder-at least, so Gunner Du-
gan told me the other day And Gun
ner Dugan surely knows.
SO it will be seen that the capacity of
/ these projectiles for destruction is well
| nigh past telling. Shells are being re-
celVed almost daily, some coming from
the Taylor Iron Works at High Bridge
some from the Midvale Steel Works at
Nicetown, and others from other points
in Pennsylvania.
These empty steel messengers of war
are loaded with powder and shipped off
to the various Notifications where. in
the all wise judgment of the Govern
ment, they are most needed. Gunner
Dugan could not, or would not. say
Wnere the completed projectiles would
eventually find their way, it may be
TO the discontinue of the naughty
Dons
While there was no ostentatio,s
Watchfulness noticeable about the res
erVation, Mr.. Dugan admitted that pro
per precaution was being observed to
prevent damage by any possible ennis
sary OF the prospective enemy. The
Soo-pound shells which are being re-
ceived and sent out from Picatinny are
for 12-ineh guns. and the 1,10O-pound
shells are for 13-inch guns.
On the naval reservation there are
three large and two small buildings
used for magazines. and there is one
large building in which shells are load
ed. On the army reservation there are
| five large brick magazines. an Office
| building, an engine house and a num-
| Der of dwelling houses in which en-
ployes on the reservation live.

JUSTICE IN TEXAS.
A Breach of Promise Case and How
1t Was Adjudicated.

When the old lawyer who began his
professional career in Texas, is in a
reminiscent mood those who have the
privilege of hearing him enjoy treat
You have no idea,p he said, ''hoW
some of those early Justices of the
Peace down there used to exercise jur-
isdiction and authority They'd dis
pose of anything from a murder case
to plain drunk, and there was no ap
peal, either.
Il recall a case in which a woman
sued a rancher for breach of promise,
and the rough riders and rough fight
ers of the frontier came pretty near
idolizing a woman. I took the defense
for the rancher. My first claim was
that the Justice had no jurisdiction,
and, of course, the law was with me.
The grizzly old man that personified
justice promptly fined me 500 for
contempt, coolly put the money in his
long wallet, and told the attorney for
the other side to proceed.
The young woman and a friend OF
hers testified that the plaintiff and the
ranchcr had been engaged, but pro-
duced no letters or conVicting cOnver-
sation This looked easy, but when l
went to put in my evidence the Justice
fairly roared in his Indignation. No
lady in Texas should be insulted by
havin' her word questioned by a lot
o sneakin male critters that seemed to
furgit as how they onct had mothers
and sisters Not a witness would he
hear. 1 was mad enough to shoot, but
had the horse sense to agree with the
old fellow and approve his profound
knowledge of the law. The more he
thought of this praise, the more it
tickled his vanity He started in by
talking of hanging my client softened
to a consideration of penitentiary for
life. and finally wound up with a s.
fine."-Detroit Free Press.

Henri Lamedon. the literary hero of

of age. He began his career as
journalist, writing for various papers
series of satires directed against the
elite Of the French Capital. From this
he became a writer of comedies, and
has achieved tremendous success in
that field. His work would have to be
expurgated before it would prove ae-

Rosa Bonheur, the painter of animals,
is again dangerously ill., and it is feared
that she has handled the brush for the
last time. This great artist has many
eccentricities, and pays absolutely no
respect to conventionality. During the
exhibition Of a wild West" show in
Paris, Mile. Bonheur frequently went
to the camp to sketch the American
red man. In speaking of the Indians,
she said: II cannot praise enough these
grand and stately men, so calm, SO
dignified, and so royalty Indifferent in
their majestic naturalness." After a
midday breakfast, which she gave to
Rocky Bear and Red Shirt at one of
the outdoor restaurants, she enthusi-
actically remarked, in speaking of her
guests: 'These are real men. They
are not the simpering, gossiping, bow
ing animals of to-day. They are grave
dignified, austere men, with the simple
manners which belong to the true chill
dren of nature. How men have degen-
Grated as compared to these noble
specimens!"
