Rough on the Thief.

A Partisan cyclist recently got the
better of a thief in very ingenious
fashion. Laying down his machine out
side cafe in such position that he
could just see tiny portion of the
wheel, he sat down inside and awaited
events. The expected soon happened.
One of the fraternity coming along
caught sight of the bicycle apparently
unprotected and cast covetous eyes upon
it. Not content with this he collared
the machine, and jumping ON pedaled
away for dear life but not very far
Before he had gone 80 yards the would
be thief threw himself off the wheel
shrieking in agony. The cyclists little
trick was to place sharpened piece of
steel just below the ventilating aperture
of the saddle, with a spring and hinge
attached to it. When he left the ma
chine at the door, he simply raised the
point vertically, SO that as soon as the
thief began to pedal over the pavement
the point entered the fieshy part of the
body.

He Reads the Papers.

''How does President Mckinley keep
in touch with public sentiment was
asked of a cabinet minister. "By read
ing the papers, - was the reply "Near-
~ every prominent journal published in
the English language is laid before the
president daily. OF course he does not
have time to read them carefully, but
he has readers who keep close tab on
happenings and report to the president.
At breakfast the president looks over
the local papers and gets an idea of the
previous days news. By the time he
comes into his office two or three of the
New York morning papers are laid be-
fore him. Oftentimes when the presi-
dent is tired after the day work he
calls in Assistant Secretary Cortelyou,
who reads to him. The president is al
ways interested in the editorials of the
metropolitan newspapers, and gives
them careful attention Many times he
has editorials, if they happen to be par
ticularly strong and pointed, read twice
or three times in order to fully under
stand and digest them.

Profits of Pugilism.

1t is said that in the brief time that
Tom Sharkey has been engaged in pu-
gilism he has accumulated $40, 000 says
the New York Sun Prior to his first
work as public fighter Sharkey was
economizing ON wages of about $13 a
month The habits of thrift that he ac-
quired then are still with him, and if
the Irishman can go on winning as he
has been doing in the last three years
he will probably become the wealthiest
pugilist in the world. The fact that
Eharkey is saving fellow does not
please the representatives of the
asfancy, +" who believe that all fighters
should live up--or rather down-to the
habits of John l.. Sullivan Sharkey
cares very little for strong drink, and
he does not like to be idle. He appears
to enjoy training, for he is desperately
anxious to make money, and does not
hesitate to go to any personal incon-
venience to get it. Sharkey has often
been called lucky fighter, and he has
undoubtedly been fortunate in the
choice of managers, A willy manager

Fireplace Curtains.

The pretty curtains and mantel drape
shown may be carried out in plushette
or art serge. If the top of the mantel-
piece is narrow, board should be made
about IA inches wide and feet long.
This, however, must be regulated by
the size of the fireplace and of the room
it is in The board is fixed on the top of
mantelpiece by wooden bars with a
hole, fixed on by long screws. These
bars can be turned under the top of
mantelpiece, and thus fix it at each end.
An iron bar should be attached to I'M
der part of this board by two iron hooks.
This is for the curtains to be hung on
by small brass rings or by passing the
rod through slide in the top of curtain.

King Humbert,s way.

King Humbert of Italy appears to be
about the only man on the European
continent charged with running the
affairs of great power who would be
able to make any Roadway as candi-
date in this country. The emperor of
Austria never shakes hands with any
one below the rank of archduke. Kaiser
Wilhelm is also averse to indiscriminate
handshaking, as is the Russian GEAR in
less degree. President Faure of the
French republic is inclined to be ELUSIVE
in greeting royalties, but thinks it be-
meath his dignity to shake the hand of
any one as low in the social scale as a
secretary of legation. Humbert, how
ever, shakes hands with everybody that
comes along and seems to enjoy heartily
the operation. On his excursions into
the rural districts he is as cordial and
''handshaky' with the peasants as is
an American candidate with the sover-
eigns on the court green. Richmond

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Warmed Over Dishes Fireplace Curtains
and Mantel Drapery-A Glue
Cement.

During the short, cold days Of win
ter, cooking becomes rather more of a
task than in milder weather, when
there are more hours of daylight in
which to work and plan. Sometimes
work will get crowded together and
ways and means must be devised to
keep one days work from encroaching
on another, equally as full of its allot-
ted work 1t occurs in all households
that there is less to do some days than
others. On those of comparative leisure
prepare such food as may be warmed
I over 1t may not always be the very
best, but there are ways to have certain
varieties every whit as good as when
freshly cooked.
The winter squash warns over and
is as good, if not better, the last day as
the first Cut the squash in half, clean
out the seeds and stringy insides and
put it in the stove to cook Scrape out
the inside with a strong spoon when it
is done. Beat it smooth or mash it with
the potato masher and season to taste
with sugar and milk and spice if liked.
Fill a deep dish or pan with it, and set
it in the stove to brown
Macaroni and cheese is as good warm
ed over as when freshly cooked Break
the macaroni in 1 or inch pieces and
boil in sailed water for 20 minutes
Drain off part of that water and add
milk enough to cover and boil half an
hour longer Have ready cheese cut in
bits or grated and fill deep dish with
alternate layers of the macaroni and
cheese and when full pour the milk over
it and set in the stove to brown.
There are several ways to prepare
macaroni and cheese, varying according
to the ingredients on hand The taste
is enough without more extensive sea-
soning However, it is an elegant dish
when the macaroni is well scalded in
sailed water and then boiled in sweet
milk until it can be beaten smooth with
a spoon. Add butter, eggs and grated
cheese and set in the stove to brown.
Always season the dish, however pre-
pared with black pepper, cayenne and
little salt
Meat pies are always enjoyed in cold
weather, and several may be made at
one time, warming them over as need
ed. Backbone or pork chine steak or
birds are stewed in boiling salted water

with pastry and filled in with the stew
