For my ships that sail under the world

And the fruits of a worldwide quest

That reach to a thousand seas,
And they gather me gain from the land and

And heap it at my knees.

His feet with swiftness shod,
And the naked man with his savage clan

They struck the door simultaneously.
1t did not yield at first, and the house
shook, and resounded with the hollow
noise. There was a startled cry from
below, a woman's voice, and then steps
on the stairs.
"Quicli come again." grunted the
detective; and shoulder to shoulder
they struck the door once more. The
fastenings gave way, and they plunged

EGGS ON TOAST.

loosening them one at time from the
bottom of the dish. If the eggs are
fresh and the directions are followed
they will all be in good shape,
Have ready as many pieces of toast
MS there are eggs. These pieces of
toast should be trife larger than the
egg, and the crusts should be cut away.
They may be square or circular in shape,
Drowned delicately on both sides, and
If dry moistened with little hot water.
Place an egg on each slice of toast and
season it with a little salt and white
pepper. Serve mushroom catsup or
any English sauce with the eggs for
those who like it. The eggs may also be
served with a little anchoyy paste
spread on the toasts, when the catsup
or the sauce would be unnecessary.
Poached eggs on toast are nice with
minced ham. Mince fine about two
large slices Of well boiled ham. It
may be simply seasoned with a
little cayenne, Ct it may be deviled
by adding about half a teaspoon
full of mustard to a cupful of the
ham. The ham should be heated and
may be laid over the toast, or over the
eggs and toast, or it may be made into
little circular "plats" the size of the
tCast, or the toast omitted and the eggs
served on the ham. French cooks al
most invariably serve poached eggs on
a bed Of boiled spinach or boiled sorrel,
and it is a delicious way. Heat over
some of the boiled spinach left from
dinner. This is one of the few vege.
tables that may be heated over and be
improved every time. Spread it out
on a platter TO the thickness Of about
an inch or an inch and a half and Law
the poached eggs over it, or cut out
circles Of the spinach a little larger
than the eggs,lay them on little squares
of toast and place perfectly poached
egg over each circle.-N. Y. Tribune.

NICE BREAKFAST DISH.
The POnChing Of Eggs IL Culinary
Art Which But Few HOusekcCp-
ers Have Mastered,

Nearly a hundred years ago DR..
Kitchener, who wrote what may be
called the first practical English cook
book in The Cooks Oracle" declared
that "thc beauty of poached egg is
for the yolk to be seen blushing through
the white, which should be just sutii-
GENTLY hardened to form transparent
veil for the egg" This is an epicure's
description of a perfectly poached egg
In order to attain this much-tO-be-de-
sired condition, the egg must be per-
fectly fresh; that is, not over three
days old. An egg week old may pOach
well, but cannot be depended on if it
has been kept in warm place. There
is no method of cooking in which a
stale egg shows itself so quickly as it
does by the white or albumen scatter
ing in the water, as it does in poaching.
The water must be boiling rapidly,
and it should be strained when poured
out of the tea kettle into the broad
shallow basin fol poaching. This can
be easily accomplished by tying thin
clean muslin clolh over the spout of
the kettle. To three quarts of boiling
water add an even tablespoonful of
salt and a salt spoonful of good
vinegar. Drop six eggs, one after the
other, into the spot where the water
bubbles up, doing the work as rapidly
as possible. DO not allow 10 seconds
to elapse before they are all in, or the
first egg will be overdone. Let the
water return to the boiling point and
bubble around the eggs one minute.
Remove the saucepan to the back of
the fire aud take the eggs up one by
one with a Skinner. nfter carefully

thought something was wrong with the
fellow, so I tried to hold him back when
he started over the gate, but he slipped
through my hands like an eel. Before
knew what he was about he was swing
in down at the side of the car, as white
as a corpse, but smilin' all the time.
Then he came to a place where the
p1anks were wider between the two
railroads and let go. 1t knocked him
down, but he got up again
do you think it hurt him at all?"
asked Hendricks.
"Not bit in the world, sir; he's as
nimble as a cat" Then the guard slid
the doors open and began to call out
the next station. The train was slow
ing up.
Lets be the first out" said the de-
tective, pressing past some men to the
door and drawing his friend by the
arm.
Reaching the street below, Hendricks
turned back towards the direction
whence they had come.
81 suppose it is about four blocks"
he said, as he started into a brisk walk.
CAN we can do now is to go back where
he let himself down from the railroad,
We may pick up something there,
though doubt it,"
1t was easy enough to find the spot
desired, for quite a crowd of people had
gathered under the elevated track, and
two policemen seemed to be trying to
disperse them.
"Wherc did the fellow so that got
off that train?" asked Hendricks of a
policeman. 81 am a detective"
Both the policemen stared.
"Was you chasin' imp" asked one of
them, in astonishmcnt.
"Ycs. Where did he go?"
'Ilc called a cab and got in it. lie
said he fell off the train and hurt him
self little and wanted to go home"
did you hear the direction he gave
the driver?"
"No; did you, John?"
The other policeman shook his head
"I couldn't hear, the crowd kept up
such a racket What's the chap done?"
Hendricks ignored the question, and
at once went up III the estimation of
both the policemen.
do you know the cabman?"
The policemen exchanged question
ing glances, and then answered: No"
A street urchin spoke up. "It's one of
Jimmy McGuire's rigs, but don't know
who was drivin' it"
Jimmy turns 'em off and hires new
ones every day, ;" explained one of the po-
liccmen. Hendricks thanked them and
turned away, a look of disappointment
on his face. They had gone block
back towards the elevated station which
they had just left, before he spoke.
Then he said:
81 shall leave you, doctor. know you
want to get back to business, and you
can't really help me just now"
DR.. Lamp5in understood that the de-
tective wanted to be left alone, so he
held out his hand
"You are going TO follow up that cab,
suppose" said he, "and find out where
the man was taken"
"There would be no use in that, -
Hendricks replied "He was simply
driven to some railway or ferry station,
and will soon be in New York, lost like
q needle in a haystack. The truth is,
I have got to find some other line to
work on. If the fellow should take a
notion to leave the city, he might never
be caught, and we should not be able to
help that young man and his girl out OF
their trouble. III see you before long

FOR RED CROSS NURSES.

In reply to inquiries as to Red Cross form
OF enlistment for nurses. The g l o b e has
received the following rules and regulations
from the Red Cross Hospital and Training
School for Sisters.s in New York:
"In order to become sister of the Red
Cross. the applicant must be OF unques-
tcnable character and qualifications. Fur
tier. she must ~ take the regular two
years and three months course of training
at the Red Cross hospital. or ~ present csr-
tiflcates from some reputable training school
for nurses and take six months postgrad-
uate course in methods specially applicable
to war or other national calamity. At the
expiration OF the course, upon giving salts
factory evidence of requisite fitness, the can
didate is graduated as a Red Cross sister,
and can thereafter act as such either at
home abroad.
IN cases or emergency nurses may De en-
listed for the special need upon presentation
OF their certificates and without taking the
six months course mentioned, but 1t should
be understood that at the c.ose Of the serv-
Ice in question their relation with the Red
Cross ceases until they can be graduated in
the regular way. In this connection, how
ever. credit will be given for character work
done during enlistment.
Candidates must have no idea that there
is any romantic or sentimental ATTRACTIVE
ness in the stern demands of war, pestileuce
'or famine. The emergencies OF the service
are often most trying, sometimes involving
privation and danger, and only those ready
for such work can be of real use."

For Whom Are Our Streets?

There is an d-fashioned notion that
the streets of a city are for the use
of the residents of the city. They are
for the men and women and children
who use them; for the merchants de-
livery wagons; the expressmen's wag-
ons the citizens carriage. the mems
and women's, boys and girls wheels.
According to the ancient notion, they
are not solely for the Spectator who
buys lots alongside them and keeps
everybody off until some one comes
along who must have them and pays
his price for them. Not for the in
weston, who, when a buyer nlbbles,
points to the public improvements made
on the street as justification for the
price he asks, marking price up a
notch when the street is paved, side
walk built water mains put in or gas
light substituted for gasoline. And 1t
made no difference, according to the
old way of thinking, whether this spec
ulator and this investor lived in the
same town or in some Eastern city;
he took title subject to the superior
rights of the resident public. and one
of these is to have the street put and
kept in such condition that they can
use it.
The board of public works of this city
seems to have another notion about
streets and their use and who are the
parties whose interests are to be con-
suited. 1t must have caught 1t from
the speculative investor, since it har-
monies with his ideas of the fitness
of things. We infer this from it's
treatment of the streets in the eastern
section of the city, notably Seventh
street beyond the bridge over the rail-
way tracks. For three or four years
the block pavement there has been
going from bad to worse until the street
is we'll night impossible. Teams, car
riages, wheelmen avoid it where posi-
BILE. Retail merchants along it suffer
less of trade. Lot owners along it VINO
live on their lots find their property
depreciating; those who own and rent
find rentals failing. 1t is not a desira-
BILE street to live on. But there are
others interested. 1t is the main thor
oughfare through the city from east
to west; the one continuous street 1t
is the main outlet of the large resi-
and from the city's center. All these
people who actually use the street
want it paved. A few men who do
not live on it or near it, who own lots
on it bought on speculation and held
for another boom, don't want it paved.
They would have to put up for share
of it, The street railway company is
Indifferent if not hostile; probably the
latter, for the worse the street the
more rides. Apparently, the few are
the more influential with the board,
for it indicates a disposition to reject
the petition for the Improvement; to
consult the wishes of the few who do
not use the street and ignore the many
who must and would. The G. o b e, in
behalf of the many, suggests to the
board that the old-faShioned notion of
streets and their use and the rights of
| the public in them is not yet entirely
| obsolete.

Our Trads Witt, the Orient

The attention which the Orient is at
nations of the world is of particular
and charging interest to those con-
trolling the industries of the United
States from which a surplus for eX-
port is derived. And, in this connec-
ton, it may be said that the activity
OF American exporters is more and
more apparent as knowledge as to what
is required of them is extended. John
Barrett, formerly United States con-
sui at Bangkok, Siam, in a recent let
ter to the department of state, says
that among the articles which have
been most successfully marketed there
are -four. lumber, kerosene Oil lubri-
eating oil, railroad equipments, cotton
goods, raw cotton, leather, nails, ma
chinery electrical supplies, canned
goods, wine and beer, sewing and type
writing machines, bicycles, lamps
clocks and watches and novelties. This
same writer says he knows of no Amer
lean firm handling such goods as are
consumed in any quantity in Eastern
Asia which failed to do a fair business
after sending the right kind of mer
to build up the trade. He points to the
fact of its population of 100000, 000 its
foreign trade in 1897 of over $500, OO0, 900

duct of trade and the great opportu.
