Miss Louisa Pierce, the aged and

in the heart of the aristocratic suburb

The ceremony was performed by Rev

he noticed the disparity in the ages Of

fully. Both answered his questions
frankly and openly and gave no in

Miss Pierce gave her age as 73 and said
she had never been married. The doc

Miss Pierce's friends in this vicinity
are greatly shocked over the final re.

FLATTERED THE TURK.
Admiral of suitan's Navy Thinks
Mystic shriners' Celebration DEM
onstration In His Honor.

1t SO happened that the Turkish ad-
miral arrived in Washington at the
time when the celebration of the
Mystic Shriners was at its height.
The New York World in describing
the situation says that as Achmed
Pasha was driven up Pennsylvania
avenue he exclaimed: by Allah, these
Christians do me great honor"
The envoy of the sultan saw in the
windows, in the fash of electric lights,
the crescent and sword insignia of his
native land, and on the streets the
parade of multitude wearing the
fezes of Turkey and its baggy trous-
ers. 1t was like a street in Constan-
tinople. He rose in his carriage and
bowed profoundly.
Down the avenue came band in
the uniform of the orient. 1t was
playing the Turkish PATROL" When
it passed the admiral clapped his
hands with great enthusiasm and
shouted joyfully to the musicians in
his native tongue.
No one has had the hardihood as
yet to reveal to the Turkish envoy
that the exhibition was not arranged
in his honor.

BICYCLE OUT OF FAD STAGE.
The Wheel As Now Used More for
business Ends and Less for
Pleasure.

ut is wrong to say that the popu-
larity of the bicycle is on the wnne, "
remarked the man who makes his iv-
ing repairing and dickering in the
machines. This year the trade is
heavier than ever before. will admit,
though, that wheels are used less for
pleasure rides than formerly, and that
while the Sunday crowds OF riders are
thick enough on the boulevards and in
the parks, they are not so great as they
used TO be couple of years ago, The
fact is, the bicycle is getting to be more
and more business proposition. Men
and women who have wheels ride them
to and from work as a rule, and do
not take as many rides of evenings for
diversion as they once did. The wheel
is an actual vehicle of business as adopt
ed for telegraph messenger boys, sPe-
cial delivery letter carriers and the
like.
"As an outcome of this the average
speed of Chicago wheelmen and wheel
women has increased. Nine out of ten
persons you see on n bicycle are rid
ing in hurry. That is because they
are going to set destinations, and near
ly always have limited their time for
getting there. The life of u wheel is
longer, too, for the same cause, but the
very fact that we get more work to do
this year than ever proves that persons
owning bicycles are more numerous

PEARLS FROM FISH SCALES.
Frenchmnn seeks Location for Fac-
tory in This Country-kind
of Scales wanted.

Consul Covert at Lyons reports to the
state department that NJ. Leuret, the
Frenchman who is manufacturing arti-
fetal pearls out of fish scales, pro-
poses to come over to the United States
and erect works here as soon as he
hears of a locality where the right
kind of scales can be had in large
quantities. 1t appears that scales for
this singular purpose should be small
and have silvery sheen, and the
brighter they are the better price they
will command. The consul says that
$4,000 pounds of these scales can be
used annually, and after awhile twice
that quantity could readily be utilized.
The present price paid for scales is
from so cents to $1.25 per pound, ac-
cording to the quality and the amount
of shiny matter on the scales. The
inventor of this novel process thinks
that child 12 years old could readily
remove four or five pounds of scales
day. They must be taken if possible
while the fish is alive or has only re-
Gently died.
Those now used are from fish called
( the bleak or blay. The French manu-
facturer is apparently only waiting
TO learn of place where, by reason
Of unusual conditions, large quantities
of fish with shiny scales are taken.
Apparently what is known as the fresh
water herring or the cisco, out at Lake
Geneva, would about fill the bill.

Hint. for the Kitchen.

Cases of poisoning have arisen
through careless disregard for the
cleanliness of the cooking utensils or
Of their perfect condition. Directly u
copper saucepan shows signs of be-
ing at all worn it should be retinned,
and in any case nothing of an acid
nature should be allowed to remain
in it while cooling. The same with
regard to zinc and lead vessels, which
are unsafe for cooking purposes.
Those of tin, steel, iron or nickel are
the safest to employ. Remember, too,
that it is better to use a wooden
spoon than one of metal when stir
ring milk or soups, and that before
using baking tins you should grease
them inside thoroughly either with
butter or lard. In order to prevent
them from burning it is as well to
take the precaution of sprinkling the
shelves Of the oven with salt.--Wash-

LIBRARY AT MANILA,
One for Use Of American Soldiers
and Sailors Opened.
Contains About 1000 Volumes, which
Are Greatly Enjoyed by the Mem
Need OF Funds 20 Keep
Library Going.

Mrs. Greenleat, wife of Col. c. II.
Greenleaf, nited States army, has sue
ceeded in opening an American library
in Manila, for the use of American
soldiers, sailors and citizens in Ma
nila.
There are about 1000 volumes in
this library, many of them worn and
soiled, but greatly enjoyed by both
officers and NEIL About ten papers
are sent regularly from the United
States, which are read at the library
and then sent to the troops in the
field. 1t is the earnest request of Mrs.
Greenleaf that copies Of papers from
every part of the United States be
sent to this library.
While contributions of books and
magazines are most acceptable, the
financial question is the serious prob
lem which confronts the library.
The salary of the librarian and the
rent of the building as well as other
expenses have to be met each month,
and letter from Mrs. Greenleaf,
dated March 30, states that they have
only enough money to keep the Ii
brary open three months longer, at
the most. Unless aid comes from the
United States they will be compelled
to close the library, which has been
a source of pleasure to the men VINO
are enduring the hardships of war in
foreign country.
The Woman's Army and Navy
league, an organization composed
mainly of the wives and daughters of
officers of the United States army and
navy, have been appealed to by Mrs.
Greenleaf, and they will act as her
representatives in this country.
Contributions will be received by
Mrs. Marshall Ludington, vice pres
ident of the Woman's Army and Navy
