AFTER MANY YEARS
THE ACCIDENT CAME

There were only five and a half feet
of the nauseating liquor in the big
tank into which the unfortunate man
plunged headlong Had 1t been pure
water he might have succeeded in
struggling to his feet and in getting
his head above the surface, but the
astringent liquid did it's work of suf-
location too quickly and too surely
for the unfortunate man in his half
dazed condition TO make any battle
for his life.
At o'clock yesterday morning,
when the employees arrived to begin
the work OF the day, they saw a cam
die, bundle of matches and Weav-
er's pipe floating in the vat. A sec
ond glance showed them the dead

The following letter from Miss Marie

Rows Dressing For Dinner.

In some families the sons after they
reach their eighth birthday are required
to dress for dinner every night. This
does not mean that they are made
merely to wash their faces and hands
and to put on clean blouse and sailor
suit, but that they are expected to make
a careful toilet and to appear in the
dining room in evening dress, a short
dinner coat being the proper thing.
This is fine fashion, and mothers who
know say that their small boys like it.
DO you know" said one mother,
that every boy whose parents can af-
ford a dress suit for him should provide
it and make him put it on every even
ing? That's good training for a boy.
Nothing is better for him than to get
into the habit of dressing up, so TO
speak, and then when he is grown he
will not make an everlasting fuss about
it, as many men do. I've often Won
dered whether laziness or pure cussed-
ness was al the bottom of the way some
men act about putting on their evening
clothes. and I've about decided that 1t
is six of one and half a dozen of the
other"

He Had Seen That Letter Before.

Some people readily forget that they
were ever young and never recognize the
fact that history is apt to repeat itself
| in individual humanity as we'll as in
wider senses.
The parents stood gazing with frown-
ing brows- at their daughter, while she
was trembling and weeping. Their
frowns deepened as the mother wiped
her glasses preparatory to reading a
letter found in the girls pocket. 1t be-

don't mean to say it begins like that ?

the old man.

Secrets of the Kitchen.

A hotel cook has been betraying some
of the secrets of hotel cooking. He says
the head cook in making preparation
for dinner cuts off the heads and feet
of the poultry and trims the bones and
fat of the meat. These are all dumped
into a kettle of water. Everything in
the way of meat is thrown into this re-
ceptacle. and the heterogeneous mass is
boiled up as d soup for dinner. Say a
diner calls for vermicelh soup. a Ia
dleful is dipped from this common ket-
tie in a dish and a handful of vermi-
celli taken from a side table and drop
ped into il gives it at least the sem
blance of the kind ordered. Say it is
tomato soup. A spoonful Of cooked to-
matoes thrown in in the same way will
make the average diner think he has
received all he has ordered. So it is
with beef soup. OK tail soup-in fact, all
other soups are made by this process
out of the general kettle.

Fire Brigades "Manned" by Women
New York.


There are at present throughout the
country hundreds of fire brigades
manned" entirely by ladies.
Such a brigade was that at Lord St.
Levans magnificent place at Narration
(now no more), where on certain &C.
casion Lady st. Levan herself, assist
ed by a round dozen of young ladies
from among her house party turned to
the pumps and worked like Trojans IN

1t is said that at the Eastern hospital
in London. the nurses are very much
quicker at their fire drill than the male
staff. Holloway college also boasts a
fire brigade, consisting of the lady stu
dents. who are one and all excellent
firewomen, capable of getting the en-
CINE into full working order in less than
4 minute.
This is a most satisfactory perform
anCe, and scarcely less remarkable is
the record of the laundry maids in con-
nection with Sir John Blundell Naples
residence at ChildwiCkbury. These girls
are trained to get powerful jet play

In London there are several female
fire brigades, as. for instance, at the

To Cure Black Heads.

Black heads are almost invariably an
indication of general debility. and hey
are always a sign of a badly working
skin. Dyspepsia and constipation dsu-
ally accompany their appearance. A

saline aperient waters should be drunk
freely.
The skin must be frequently bathed
with water as hot as can be borne, US

washing expel the little black cones

association of gold and green, a color
scheme devised by the SWEETEST mOdiste.
A slight variation N the general rule
this year has been made-the judges
are to be either amateurs or success
ful breeders. On the list appears the
name of Miss Whitney, belonging TO
the latter class. Great interest will be
centered in the fox terrier exhibit, as
there is keen competition among the
breeders OF wires" and 'smooths' for
popular favor. Fashion is quite as
tickle in the matter of dogs IS clothes.
Reviewers, at once a delight to the eye
and a pleasure to cOddle have gone the
way Of the discarded big sleeve. The
stately Newfoundland, who stajked
alongside the little Lord Fauntleroys,
vanished from public view when those
small boys outgrew velvet breeches.
There was a time when the cheeky
curly poodle was as Indispensable TO
milady's ensemble as the diamond stud
ded lorgnette. Today they enjoy about
the same degree of prestige. G., if you
have one, well and good, but it is not
desirable to acquire. Leave it and the
glasses at home. Both are regarded as
symbols of Spinsterhood.

DIAL HAWKINS BESTED.
Jack O'Brien the Victor in n Twenty
Five-ROund Fight.

NEW YORK, July I'm fast. fierce
battle that went the limit of twenty-five
rounds Jack O'Brien. of New York. the
victor over Dial Hawkins. of San Francisco
at the Broadway Athletic Club tonight
The winner came TO the ringside as the
short-ender In 2-to-1 betting proposition
and won almost as he pleased. He was
never at any time in very serious danger
and had everything his own way after the
fifteenth round Hawkins injured his left
hand in the early part of the fight, but
even If he had had the free use of 1t
throughout the contest ii is improbable that
he could have won or even secured a draw.
The fight, although fast and game. was
not satisfactory. Ii was first announced
that the men would light straight Queens
bury rules. Then in the second round they
agreed TO break clean and failed TO do so
There was no announcement of the latter
agreement until later. and as a result there
an immense amount of wrangling and
confusion The crowd Kissed both men for
fouing, but Referee Johnny White con-
tented himself with rather mild cautioning
The men did about as they pleased. They
hit in clinches. hit with the free arm and
hit at the breakaway. In the eighteenth
round White took matters into his own
hands and every clinch forcibly broke the
men. Even at that they continued to hit
away at one another both in the clinches
and after the breakaways. Hawkins was
the veteran OF the two and seemed more
