BROWNS GIFT.
He freseuts His Church with . Zap. tisnai Tank That He Had
 Purloined.

Mir. Smith is an eastern man who owns some property in and near Chi cago. His name is not Smith, by the way, but it is best it should be given as that, as this is true story, and the publication of real names might lead to riot. Among Smiths hold ings is house on the extreme South side. away out beyond the waterworks district For a couple of years after Smith got possession of it the house stood empty, and the agent informed the owner he could not rent it until it was modernized with water supply. Then Mir. Smith spent several hundred dollars in piping the building and supplying it with a large oaken tank or reservoir on the roof. This done. tenant was readily obtained, and for some time the house was occupied by Mir. Brown (another fictitious name), who paid his rent promptly, and con- tributed literally to the support of the local Baptist church.
 There came a time when Brown moved out and the agent was surprised oiiS hSiN Nhtli soilil tlt ONHtIs Ndlktu in upon him. Smith was in an indig- nant mood. He had been down to in- spect his property, and the tank was gone.
 That's queer" said the agent. "I don't see how such a big tank could have been taken off the roof of the house without attracting attention, and l can't see how it could be put to any use that would pay person to steal it.. With the city water service being ex- tended out there no house-owner would care to buy it, and it certainly would be too expensive for fire wood if the thief counted his time worth any thing"
 The next day being Sunday, Mir. Smith, who is also good Baptist, went into the local church near his old home, and heard the preacher announce to the congregation that through the gener- osity of MT. Brown, who had just sailed for Europe, the church had been sup piled with a capacious baptismal tank.
 Respecting Mir. Browns wishes,' said the preacher, q have kept the matter quiet, and had the tank put in place. It will be used this morning for the first time in the baptism of-''
 When the baptismal ceremony took place Mir. Smith went forward with oth- CTS to the edge of the tank. The subse- quent proceedings had little interest for him. The tank was the missing water reservoir from the roof of his house, which had been donated to the church by Brown.
 What bothers me-" said Smith, in re- lating the incident, lis whether bap- tism is effective when performed in a stolen tank. If it is, don't wish to dis turb the church in its possession. If it's not, then I've got a disagreeable duty to perform. But what do you think of Brown, anyway ?"-Chicago Inter Ocean.

ARTISTIC LUNCHES.
The Best Effects Are Produced by the Selection of Some Color
 Scheme.

The success of a luncheon depends in great part upon the coloring or pre- vailing tints employed in the decora- lions and in such of the eatables as may be colored to harmonize herewith
 The color pastes made by reliable ex- tract makers are perfectly harmless, being highly concentrated extracts of pure fruits, and only little practice will render one perfectly familiar with their use. In planning a dinner or luncheon, the best effects can be pro- duced by selecting some color scheme, which should be carried out so far as possible, not only in flowers and china, but in the dishes served. When select ing a color the time of year must be considered IL is not only essential that the flowers selected should be in sea son, but that the general color scheme should be in keeping with the weather, as, for example, red needs crisp, cold days to make the color effective and pleasing. and is therefore out of place in late spring or summer. Yellow lights up brilliantly, combines well with other things, and is easily carried out at any time of the year, as is pink. This color decorates especially well and makes an attractive table. The com bination of green and white is perhaps the most appropriate table decoration for warm weather, and the possibilities for change and effect are almost with out number. The best effects are pro- duced by the most simple effects and delicate shading. In selecting the menu, materials must be chosen that will conform to the desired color, and It will spoil the effect to use too deep coloring.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Good Soup.

A cream-of-beet soup is an attractive addition to the list of winter soups. Ii is particularly delicious when made with quart of chicken stock. The beets are peeled and grated into the stock in which they are afterwards boiled They may, however, be boiled in quart of water, to which has been added tablespoonful of beef extract with raw potatoes and an onion. This liquid is strained, and to it is added a quart of hot milk, thickened with four tablespoonfuls of constarch, and sea- soned with few peppercorns and a blade of mace. Strain it through a fine sieve, adding tablespoonful of butter just before it is sent to the table. Serve with crusts.-rN. Y. Post,

Dusiness ana Praxers.

In one of the suburbs west of Chicago Is . grocer who, although devout churchgoeT and faithful citizen, has the reputation of hgurlng closer Tn his business dealing than any other man in the village. His enemies say. that he once bit coffee bean in two to make weight, and that he stops his clock at night to save wear and tear on the wheels. The grocer lives above his store, and his home is connected with his place of business by pair of stairs indoors. The grocer's son takes the late watch in the store, and every night at nine o'clock the good man opens the door at the top of the steps and the follow ing conversation takes place:
