Living In Venezuela.

Any one going to Caracas with an
idea of economy had much better scan
a few figures which the Venezuelan
Herald prints. 1t costs a good deal to
maintain any sort Of social position,
says the Herald, and, therefore, to set
tie in Venezuela on a small salary is
to partake of the life or the immi-
grant.
A little house for two-small, clean
and comfortable houses are very rare
rents at from $40 to $50 per month. a
cook costs $40 per month, and maid,
who does not know how to sew on
button, SIS, and it requires three maids
to perform badly the service of one un-
trained girl.
Marketing is very high, and clothing
exorbitant. There is no such thing as
ready made suit. Cabs cost so cents
an hour, gas 20 bolivars per LOCO feet,
and the hotels charge from $3.50 to $40
per day.. and are second rate at that.

Romance OF q Russian Countess

A Russian Countess, Wyanoff by
name, and conspicuous at court by rea-
son of her wealth, has run off with her
footman. 1t is touching romance.
The footman never told his love except
by daily placing on the Countess's
toilet table Il lovely bouquet. His secret
did not come out, however, until his
mistress entered her apartment one
day to find him in the act Of kissing her
portrait. An elopement and wedding
soon followed, and the Countess put
the finishing touches to the romance by
buying a Bulgarian estate with which
roes the title of Count

When Kiplin. Borrowed" Children.

Kipling, when young man and be-
fore he had children of his own, was
constrained to "borrow," as he said,
the children Of his relatives and ac.
quaintances to satisfy his love for
youneliugs. He loves best to gather
them around him on rainy day when.
the sky is dull and the earth soddeu
and gust swept and tell them stories
and draw pictures for them.
As he talks about Jungle animals,
his favorite theme, he illustrates the
stories with little pencil sketches in
outline.
Three Denver children had the
pleasure of being his audience for
number of rainy days and of dogging
his footsteps on pleasant ones, several
years ago. They are the now grown
up children of H. r. Smith, who are
the first cousins of Mrs. Kipling.
Kipling and Miss Balestier were
married in January, 1892, and started
for a trip around the world. They got
as lar as japan, Wnere MIS-. hlpllnS
was taken sick. The bridal trip was
abandoned, and they returned to the
United States and decided to spend
the summer among the sugar forests
of Vermont at Raponda.
During the early part of August a
family reunion was held there, and il
was thus that the young Smiths be-
came Kipliag's audience, and he be-
came their hero. When rainy days
came and gray showers blew over the
lake they would retire to Kipling's
own room, his work and thought room,
where none dared intrude, and with
his briarwood in his mouth and paper
and pencil to illustrate, there would
be story after story.-Denver Post.

HELPS FOR HOUSEWIVES.
To Make the Flavoring.

An old housekeeper says it is by far
the best plan to make ones own lemon
fiavoring for cakes and puddings. Be-
fore cutting a lemon to extract the
Juice, wash and wipe it with soft
cloth; then CRATE off all the delicate
yellow skin, not taking any of the
white bitter part. Place the grated
peel in wide-mouthed bottle and
cover it thickly with granulated su-
gar. Keep the bottle tightly corked.
The sugar becomes saturated with the
oil from the peel and when used in
place of extracts gives most deli
cions flavor.

Be General Manager.

The meeting of the Central Union Gas
Company. the Di erich syndicate in dis

the people of the gas belt At this time all
the gas plants, which have been mentioned

pipe lines, pumping stations and various
other holdings. will be merged into one or

the step Is taken in the interest of economy.
Many high salaries in the various compa-
MES will be cut and the management of the
whole number placed in the hands of one
set of men. There is a difference of opinion
as to who will be given the general manage
ment, but it is certain that it lies between
John r. Pearson, of indianapolis, and James
Murdoch, the Lafayette capitalist, with the
chances greatly in favor of Murdoch. The
new syndicate holds vast acreage of gas
territory in the State and it is thought the
syndicate is terrifying itself in case of at
tack from the manufacturers of the State,
who are also organizing to wage war on the
foreign concerns in the syndicate. The plan
mapped out for Mondays meeting is to issue
stock in the new combine to the extent of
