Muffs of Old-time Danes.
CThe Cosmopolitan.)

Like many another article of dress,
the muff was at first the exclusive
property of the nobility, but when it
appeared in Venice it was carried by
courtesans, as we'll as by women of
the highest rank. The first Venetian
muffs were very small, made of piece
of velvet, brocade or silk, lined with
fur, the openings fastened with exqui-
site buttons of gold and silver enriched
with precious stones.
In 1862 the muff seems to-haVe been
recognized as a necessary adjunct of
tn eWardrobe of a lady of fashion. In
Evelyn's "Mundus Muliebris, written
at this time, numbers of gowns, bod
dices," shoe buckles; of perfumed
gloves, ''jonquil, tube rose, frangipan,
orange violet, narcissus, jessamin, am
brett. and some of chicken skin for
night to keep her hands plump, soft
and white" are enumerated, and also
three muffs of ermine, sable. gray.
At the time of the national conven-
ton in Paris the muffs were large and
fat fantastic as were all the fashions
of that time. In colonial days in Amer
lea they were also very large, but
round.
About 1880 the muffs were principally
of chinchilla, of moderate size, and
were often used with what would seem
to US an homogeneous combination of
straw bonnets and thin slippers.
In an old "Dictionaire Amoreux" the
nuff is defined as "a letter box lined
with white SATIN

LOST, 1000 OPERA GLASSES.
London Playgoers Take Them Away
From the Theatres.
II .ondOn MaiI1

Out of 5000 pairs of opera glasses avail
able for the use of the public at the thea
tres, music halls ana other places of en-
tertainment in the metropolis, no fewer
than thousand have not been returned
TO the boxes in which they are kept since
the commencement of the present year.
This revelation of absence of mind, or
something still worse, on the part of the
users was made yesterday to Daily Mail
reporter by Mr.. II. S. j. Booth, the man
aging director of the Automatic Opera
Glass company. The representative went
TO him to make inquiries respecting the
statement published in our yesterday 5
issue that seventeen pairs of opera glasses
had been stolen, or were missing, from
the ShafteSbury theatre since the com
mencement of the run of THE Belle of
New York.
1.-The enormous losses we are at present
sustaining remarked Mr.. Booth
Through the disappearance-that is the
gentlest term l can use-of our opera
glasses is compelling US to establish a
more complete system of protection;
their use. Up to the advent of The
Belle of New York. to the Shaftesbury
our receipts and our losses at that thea
ire were comparatively small. Now there
has been a change, having both its favor
able and unfavorabie sides.
Not the least surprising thing in con-
it gives of the ideas of some of our
patrons on honesty. The glasses are
indelibly branded as being the property
of our company. If an umbrella is found
in the street with the owners name and
address engraved thereon, no honest
minded person would think of retaining
it. Yet our glasses are detained, and
when the holder is discovered protesta-
tions of innocence are always forthcom-
ing Before Mr.. Curtis Bennett recently a
defendant stated she had found the pair
of glasses in dispute. The magistrate
CURLY reminded her that finding is not
keeping and we wish that some others
would realize the same thing.
Many of the losses occur out of an
essentially peculiar idea of q joke. and for
that reason we have found that wherever
the gayest and liveliest entertainment is
taking place there the glasses dwindIe.
For that reason the music halls register
the most extensive losses. Sometimes the
humorist returns them, after attaining a
less elevated mood; at others, after long
undisturbed possession, he feels he is the
rightfUl owner
1.-The other morning a sample of this
music hall humor on the part of visitor
was brought to my notice. The lenses of
a pair of glasses had been unscrewed, the
tubes filled with beer, fastened up, and
left in the box until discovered by one
of our daily cleaners next morning.
'.All manner of suggestions have been
made to US TO lessen these losses by vivid
" coloring the glasses or fastening them
iip: but the disadvantages We're too ao-
parent We, however, hope for better
results from our new system.

TRUTH ABOUT VACCINATION.
Germany's Wonderful Success In
Combating Smallpox.
GondOn Lancet)


In recent lecture delivered at Rome.
DR.. Bizzozzero made q deep impression
by his summing up of the argument
for vaccination. He said:
Germany stands alone in fulfilling in
great measure the demands of hygiene,
having in consequence of the calami-
touS smallpox epidemic of 1901 en-
acted the law of 1874 which makes
vaccination obligatory in the first year
of life and revaccination also Obliga-
tory at the tenth year" What was the
result? With a population Of so, 600 900.
having in 1871 lost $4,000 lives by small
poX, she found by her law of 1874 the
mortality diminished so rapidly that
today the disease numbers only 116
victims year. These cases, moreover,
occur almost exclusively in towns or
her frontier.
If it were true continued Professor
Bizzozzero, that a good vaccination
does not protect from smallpox, we
ought to find in smallpox epidemics
that the disease diffuses itself in the
weH-vaccinated no less than in the
non vaccinated countries. But it is
not so. In 1S70-1, during the Franco
Prussian war, the two peoples inter
penetrated each other, the German
having it's civil population vaccinated
optionally but it's army completely re-
vaccinated, while the French (popula-
ton and army alike) We're vaccinated
perfunctorily. Both were attacked by
smallpox, but the French army num-
bered $4,000 deaths by it, while the
German army had only 27S; and in the
same tent, breathing the same air, the
French wounded were heavily visited
by the disease, while the German
wounded, having been reYaccinated,
had not a single case.

NEW YEARS EDITION SOLD.

Owing to the orders filed before the
publication of The New Years Herald
and the immense sale of the paper since
the great edition was exhausted within
forty-eight hours after its appearance.
This demand is very gratifying, Tut
the fact that the supply was wholly in
adequate is annoying to The Herald, as
well as to hundreds of people whose
orders have had to he returned untitled.
The special edition was certainly ap-
preciated. The sales are proof of this,
and the necessity for an announcement
to the effect that no more copies of The
New Years Herald can be supplied
from this office is another evidence of
the reception accorded it in this and
surrounding states.

HOW FEUDS BEGIN.

Ex-Governor Merriam of Minnesota
may lose the Russian ambassadorship
or account of a snub of fifteen years
standing
HRS. Merriam was a society leader at
St. Paul. She was proud. headstrong
and ambitious. But she made a mis-
take When she snubbed the sewing girl
who became Mrs. Cushman K. Davis.
This was the beginning of feud be-
tween two powerful politicians, both
prominent in the Republican party of
the state and nation.
From this trivial incident a lifelong
enmity sprang, and many a, furious
campaign battle has resulted. The
slight put upon Mrs Davis by Mrs.
Merriam has never been forgotten.
When Merriam aspired to Office, Davis
always confronted him with two
edged sword of animosity. When Davis
aspired to a seat in the United States
senate. Merriam expended $4,000 in the
vain attempt to defeat him.
At the beginning of the present ad-
ninistration Governor Merriam was
slated for the German enthusiastically.
Davis checkmated him. Since then the
president has sought to mollify the
feeling by comforting upon the senator
the distinguished honor Of a place on
the Paris peace commission, that his
objection to another place for the ex-
governor might, in modesty, be left IN
spoken But the peace commissions
work is over, and Senator Davis is
again Offering the president the alter
native Of choosing between himself or
Merriam.

and bitter feuds from silly snubs arise

AT THE THEATRES.

A lesson in prices was demonstrated at
the theatres yesterday afternoon, with
the old conclusion, that Salt Lake is a
town for cheap matinees, and the cheaper
the better for patronage. At the Grand
the scheme of evening prices on holidays
was in operation, while at the Theatre
20 cents 10 all parts of the house was the
rule. Manager Mulvey had an audience
which filled downstairs to the gallery
posts. while Mr., Piper proclaimed
very much Of that, either downstairs or
in the galleries. 1t must be remembered,
however, that half as many people at
double the price means as much TO the
manager, but it doesn't make the show
ing.
The popularity of the Chimes seems
to be undiminished, to Judge from the
houses which greeted it, last appearance.
and the enthusiasm which prevailed. The
company has become favorite factor of
the season amuSements, and the men,
bers have now been sufficiently long to-
gether to have acquired d smoothneSS of
performance.
In ION the Suwanee River Mr.. Null
vey has a play which appeals TO the emo
lions in a way which lives up TO every
tradition of melodrama, The story is
familiar one. and the characters are for
the most part those whom we always eX-
pect to see in such pieces There are
firearms, knives, broken bridges and even
Il
woman villain and q couple of men viii
lainS-a wronged girl. a wronged boy
and at least two good angels. Some of
the lines have an exceedingly familiar
ring, but in spite of the 'yellowneSs,'
there are enough good features in ION
the Suwanee River to make it very pal
atable. OF course some characters in
melodrama always will be over-acted.
and in this case it was true of Earl At
kinSon, who played Judge Hawk. The
part was sufficiently repulsive without a
tendency on the actors part to make it
disgusting. The old miser had too much
to say-his villainy could have been suf-
ficiently expressed in half and his con-
slant refrain of money, money" and
mine. mine grew rather irritating. Mr..
Bailey. in the character who always ap
peared in the nick of time-the gallery
was his from the Start-waS a trifie
dOlorouS, but considering the trouble he
had, it was no wonder Miss. Stella May
hew was the favorite from the first, and
she undoubtedly owes much of her pop
ularity to her beaming smile In her
coon songs she fairly brought down the
house, especially in MY Rag-time Girl
The Fountain City quartette" of real
coOnS created great enthusiasm, deserv-
eddy. for they rank well with any col
ored quartette. Polly Stockwell and
Fred Truesdell were satisfactory as the
m:streated pair.
The play Is a treat for the gallery and
will no doubt prove a drawing card to all
of the Grand's patrons. The Specialties
are well worth hearing.

CHANCES FOR SPOILSMEN.

When the president issues his long
contemplated order which will take
from the civil service procedure more
than 5000 places and turn them over to
spoilsmen, the Decentralization of the
departments, begun with Ayers APP
pointment to a cabinet position, will be
we'll under way.
There is no reason why these ap-
pointments should be decided according
to any other than the merit system, but
the bars have already been let down by
the civil service board, which doubtless
carried out the wishes of the admins
tration when it recently relieved some
1000 employees of the government of
the educational examination to which
the spirit of the law subjects them.
This opening for the appointment of
applicants, without reference to quail
fications, tends to destroy the classified
service and the high standard which
has been maintained for several years:
but what does it matter when there are
campaign debts still unpaid, in spite of
the war and the opportunities it pre-
scented to the politicians?
With the civil service regulations dis
regarded and a loophole in the army
reorganization bill for appointments
from civil life, Mr.. Mckinley ought to
be able to satisfy the more persistent
of his followers.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DAY.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE DAY.
In preparing your calves liver for
breakfast, try broiling il instead of fry
ing in bacon fat. The change will be a
pleasing one.
A Bisque soup is easily made and al
ways palatable. Be careful when adding
the milk to not let it boil but a second
or the tomatoes will cause it to curdle
and the dish be spoiled a pinch of sal
aratuS dropped in the tomatoes will also
prevent curdling.
Roast beef is a dish seldom served in
America. SO-called roast beef is in re-
atty steamed beef and totally lacking
the flavor the Briton so much admires.
Try it this way. Place a wire spit in the
bottom of your baking pan and on it
place your roast, without dredging with
flour, salt, pepper or anything else Place
in hot oven and cook about ten minutes
to the pound, putting on salt and pepper
as you remove from the oven.
The Yorkshire pudding, an essential to
English roast beef, is made by mixing
half cup of milk, two tableSpOOnfuls
flour, four eggs and a pinch of salt. Pour
the mixture into the pan beneath the
spit on which the meat rests twenty min
uteS before the roast is zone. Serve hot
and you will rise from the table satisfied.
The pineapple should be sliced. covered
with powdered sugar and put in a cool
place at least four hours before serving.

while on a trip to town. he summoned up

1.-THE tidal wave of prosperity seems
to be upon us; the New York banks
are full of money, the reserves standing
at $40, 500, 0OO," says the Clear Lake Re
view. Then prosperity has been with
US all along, for New York bankers
have always had more than their
share of money If that~is prosperity,
we have never been without it. One
great trouble with the present financial
system is that a few money lenders
have been able to get 50 per cent of the
money of the country into their own
hands, while it was averaged in the
