A HUSTLING HOST.
His Guests Pay for Their
Dinners.

1t was an apparently innocent little din
ner invitation which drew number. of
California street heavyweights to the
handsome home of a capitalist on Pacific
avenue, who is no longer popular in the
Pacific Union club After the dinner,
which was deliberately planned, perfectly
served and thoroughly appreciated, the
host led the way to the billiard room, where
he produced for the inspection of his friends
a new roulette wheel which he had just pur-
chased.
After it had been examined and d Wy adj.
mired monsieur proposed that his friends
tempt fortune with it, announcing that he
would be. banker and smilingly invited
them to "break him." The guests scarcely
expected this sort of diversion, but they
hardly could decline the Entertainment
which had been provided for them. Hav.
ing carelessly undertaken to call the turn
on the black or the red, they expected to
lose. trife to their host, but they did not
anticipate any such financial catastrophe
as overlook each of the players.
The bank won steadily. Soon all the
player guests were BROKE" but the host
offered, in an off hand way, to stake ona
and all, guarding against a loss of the
frequent loans, however, by taking the
checks CT his friends. For the purpose, with
admirable forethought, he had provided
himself with blank checks on every bank in
town.
There was no escape for his victims. They
were all thoroughly trapped and WEI!
scorched before they were released. The
guests caught the first car home in the morn
ing, the urbane host, with unparalleled gen
crosby, presenting each guest with nicke
to pay his fare.-San Francisco Newsletter

There is bit of deception in the hand
embroidery which you see decorating
so plentifully the vests of velvet jackets
and the tall Medicis collars and Louis
Quinze coats. All that looks like en-
broidery is not necessarily the real ar
ticle, for there comes this year most
exquisite applique which can be put on
with small stitches using thread the
color of the applique. Lovely silk roses
oil ready to be appliqued upon vest
can be had for few cents and all sorts
OF beautiful patterns can be obtained
for collars and coats. After the figures
are appliqued upon the material green
leaves are embroidered on to heighten
tie appearance of hand embroidery.

HEAT KILLS PLANTS.
Furnaces Mean Destruction to Almost
All Kinds of Our Ordinary
House Flowers.

The ordinary furnace-heated house
Is bad place in which to grow plants.
The air seems to have had all the damp
ness removed, and that moist condition
so conducive to good growth in plants
is not found. This may in measure
be overcome by means of evaporation,
which, while not supplying a great
amount of moisture, should do some
thing toward relieving the bad condi-
ton of the atmosphere. Place jars or
pans Of water in, around or about the
furnace, hang buckets of water down
inside the furnace pipes, below the
registers, or place them anywhere that
rapid evaporation may be induced
Keep all the plants in light, airy loca-
tions, but away from draughts. Never
consign well-grown specimen palm
to a corner of the room, though it may
look better there. It's beautiful ap-
pearance will last short time only IN
the dark, close place. 1t may seem
strange to some, but the very best
place in the house, if the temperature
can there be maintained at an even
point, is the kitchen, because of the
constant evaporation of the water as it
puffs forth from the spout of the tea
kettle,

A black silk collar finishes the neck

Nothing makes children happier than
this sort of amusement and the gar

cost. In fact the little girls wrapper
may be made from one which has done

DR.. S. B. Hartman: Some years ago

ABOUT CEREAL FOODS.
They Are Prepared In Scores of Ways
and Form a Valuable Addition
to the Daily Diet.

1t has been conceded by those who
have made dietary matters study,
that the stomach is helped, and diges-
tive conditions improved, by an al
ternating diet of the various grains for
breakfast food. There is such a great
variety in cereal preparations to draw
from, and these too can be cooked in so
many different ways, that there is alb.
solutely no reason for the consumer
becoming tired, with monotonous
diet.
1t is not generally understood by
housekeepers that any cereal, with the
exception of samp or hulled corn, after
it has been well boiled, set aside to
cool, cut in slices and dipped in beaten
egg, can be fried most delicate brown,
without hardening or toughening the
cereal, thus making q most delicious
dish for breakfast or luncheon.
Barley meal used in this way gives q
companion dish to the fried sausage,
as novel as it is tasty.
The variety of ways of manufacture
ing the raw grains, j. e., finely ground,
coarsely ground, rolled, toasted, ETC.,
seems to impart different flavor to
the same grain when cooked.
Barley-Barley -four, barley meal,
pearled barley, rolled barley.
Observation-Disclosures meal, greats
or hulled buckwheat.

Popcorn-Popped and ground.
Yellow corn -four. yellow corn bolted
meal, yellow corn granulated meal, yell
low corn grits, yellow corn I've hulled
hominy.
| Oats-Oat -four, fine oatmeal, coarse
oatmeal, oat greats, rolled oats.
Rice-Rice -four, broken rice, whole
or head rice, faxed or rolled rice.
Rye-Rye meal, cracked rye, rolled
rye.
Wheat-Wheat middlings or farina
toasted middlings OF farina farinose
cracked wheat, steel cut wheat, rolled
or faxed wheat.
This does not enumerate any of the
fanciful or special trade names given
to these grains by manufacturers.
One of the most delicious cereals, sell
dom used in the average household. ex
cept for gruels or in soup, is barley

Results point out that we should
vary our diet to keep in perfect health
and although we may not at first taxi
kindly to change of cereals. still this

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.
