Her Tin of No Avail.

A determined woman from the west Wis.
tied Washington not long ago for the pur'
pose of interviewing member Of the cab cal
met on a subject of interest to her. She
called, as it happened, just at the time when
the frauds in the Cuban postal department
were made public, and the. majority of the
presidents advisers, absorbed in consider.

$50 you refuse to take my card to the sec

ut would be against my orders, and l

litely.
The visitor turned away in high dudgeon,
but happy thought occurred to her and she
retraced her steps. "Here my man., she
said, insinuatingly, "here is so cents. Now

CHOATE AND THE BABY.
The American Amba ssadOr'n Nail
Head Wit in an Address In
EnXland.

Lately, at the opening of free library at
Acton, England, Hon. Joseph H. Choate,
the American ambassador to Great Britain,
delivered an address, and caused much
laughter by his impromptu references to a
baby who persisted in distracting the at
tention of the audience by making its voice
heard at the most inconvenent moments,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. The first
Interruption occurred early. in the speech.
Mr.. Choate was saying: There is a spe.
cial provision for children in your library,
and l think when men come to make a
choice of a residence in Acton they will
not forget that fact" Here the baby
screamed in such a manner as to drown the
words of the speaker; There was some dis
turbance, but Mr.. Choate said: Don't be
disturbed by the baby. Nobody knows bet
ter than my Lord Bishop that out Of the
mouths Of babes and sucklings cometh wis.
DOM" Things went fairly well after this,
the baby appearing to be fattered by the
reference, until Mr.. Choate was saying:
"There is book with which all of you"
Here the baby walled loudly. Except, pos
sibly, the baby-are familiar" the ambassa-
dor went on; ut is Ecclesiastes, and it says
that Of the making of books there is no end"

Twain at the Telephone.

While living at his home at Hartford,
Conn, Mark Twain was one morning deep
in the composition of some humorism from
which he expected good deal, when he was
called to the telephone. lie told the servant
to receive the message and bring it to him,
but in a few moments was informed that the
party at the other end of the wire wanted
him. Provoked at the interruption, Mark
went to the telephone, and, after "helloing,,
for some time without an answer, he used
some language not generally seen in print,
but which was certainly picturesque: While
thus engaged he heard an answer in aston
ished tones and recognized the voice OF an

MoNoToNY MAKES MADNESS
This Account Tells why So Many
Farm Laborers Lose
Their Reason.

One would be pardoned for thinling
that a man who earned his livelihood
by working in the fresh air of the coun-
try, surrounded by sights delightful to
the eye and refreshing to the mind,
would be far less liable to brain dis
eases than the man sitting on stool
over ledger in the stuffy atmosphere
of a smoke-dyed city. But if statistics
prove anything they prove the worth
lessness of that superstition. More ag-
ricultura1 laborers go mad, per cent. for
per cent, than any other workers. 1t is
the monotony which excites disinter-
estedness, which leads to depression,
which develops into meIanchol which
ends, perhaps, in cure, possibly in d
suicidal act, probably in an asylum. 1T
may safely be said that Sunday saves
thousands upon thousands from the
madhouse. 1t is the one break from
week to week which thousands OF ma
lures demand.
The agricultural Iaborer, the artisan
and other similar classes OF workers
live monotony, broken here and
there by a small incident which in time
becomes itself monotonous. A man,
perhaps, drives rivets; he drives them
every day of the week except Sunday;
every motion OF his work becomes me-
chanfca1; ne has no interest in his work
beyond what it finds for him on Satur-
day. He has one thing to do, and the
more he does that the less he does
everything else. Consequently, the
brain becomes woAk for want OF more
general use and weakens until 1t snaps
A fine thing is healthy hobby, but a
finer, especially for indoor workers, Is
a sport. Healthy recreation keeps more
people out of the madhouse than any
thing the doctors could do. Nature de-
mands q certain amount of balance and
she Will have it or be revenged--Chi-
cago Chronicle.

HOOKING A FISH.
Invaluable Lesson for Anglers
TauEht by Old and Hpe-
rfenced Guide.

There IS good deal of nonsense
talked and written about striking a
fish, as the term hooking is almost in
variably used among men who dulge
in angling" said the veteran. My ex-
perience has taught me that in nine
cases out of ten the fish hooks him
self. OF course, you understand I am
not abiding to fly fishing The usual
result in striking is to pull the bait
out of the ish's mouth. 1 learned the
lesson several years ago in the ST. Law
renee river. 1 was trolling for pick
ere1, accompanied by experienced
guide. The bait was sinner about six
inches long, hooked through the lips.
We were passing over quiet stretch of
water when I felt sharp tug at my
line. My inclination was to jerk the
rod and try to fasten the hook in the
jaw of the fish, but the guide stopped
me. He said that the pickerel had
seized the sinner by the tail
s. Give him line said the guide. He'll
take the fish ten or twenty feet, loose
his bold on the tail and try to swallow
the fish head first.
81 let the line run off the reel, al
though the inclination to strike was
almost Irresistible continued the vet
a second or two there came a series of
little jerks on the line which indicated
that the pickerel had seized the fish by
the head. AS he started to move away
L
of the wrist and in short time he was
in the boat. I have applied that lesson
to saltwater fishing and 1 find that
it works like charm. Instead of rails
ing the rod when you get bite, give the
fish more line until the bait is well
down his throat, your chances of hook
ing him being much more positive. Fish
inYaria bly, try to swallow live bait head
first. Imagine the difficulty a bass
weakfish would have in trying to swal-
low a small fish tail first, with all it's
fins standing up sharp as needles, as
they invariably are when a fish Is
frightened. I believe this fact is true
even of shrimp. IF you have ever no
ticed shrimp you have seen that there
is a sharp, need1e-1il1e projection in the
tail, something like the sting Of wasp.
I believe that this little lance was
placed there for purposes of defense,
and it is also my conviction that weak
fish and bass are aware Of the peculiar
ity and that they swallow the shrimp
head first in order to avoid it. Conse7
quent1y L always put shrimp bait on my
hook tail first. In all cases I make it a
rule. depressing the inclination to
Strike to let the fish run with the
bait for second or two a least before

FRAGRANCE OF GARMENTS.
1t Comes from the Perfume Bags That
Repose in My Lady's Bureau
Drawers.

As the delicate soupcon of some eX-
quisite perfume has become, in many
cases, essentially a part of woman's
toilet, it is very serious question with
many women how to obtain just the
right amount, that the perfume will
be faint and yet lasting.
The excessive use of cologne per
fumed waters is to the refined woman
abomination and is considered by
the ma Ority Of people sign of vu1-
garity. But the delicious odor of clean
illness and suspicion Of some expensive
extract are perfectly delightful to the
senses of the person in proximity to the
we11-groomed woman.
Many women sew sachet bags in their
bodices and distribute them In their
closets where their gowns hang, and
some few go SO far as to sew them in
their corsets and carry them with them
also. But such wholesale use of sachet
powders kills the refined delicacy and
9aintness desired by fastidioua
women.
It has been found, after much exper-
-1menting and careful study, that per-
fume bags scattered broadcast and in
great plenty in the bureau drawers have
better and more lasting effect than
anything which has ever been tried be-
fore.
Each woman has her own particular
extract, which becomes so identified
with her to her friends that ono of them
picking up a handkerchief and inhal-
Ing the delicate scent clinging to it will
at once exclaim: .That is So-and-So's
handkerchief"

ton which has been discovered, and

TABLE ETIQUETTE NOTES.
The Proper Way to Serve CertaIa
Dishes According Up-to-
Date Form.

A supper should be either all hot or
all cold. If hot, pile of hot plates
should be placed in front of each car
yer, not around to the guests.
Meats, poultry. game, salads, etc, may
all be placed upon the table at once, but
the sweets should not be brought on I'M
til these are removed-the table, how
ever, should be decorated with fruit
and flowers for dinner. For large
party, poultry and game should be cut
up before being placed upon the ia BILE.
Ii carved at table, ordinary dinner
knife, well sharpened, may be used for
each dish of poultry or game. instead
of poultry or carving knives-few hos
tesses possessing a sufficient number of
the latter for supper table, When the
plates used in the meat course are re-
moved, the dessert plates are placed in
front of each guest Sufficient knives
and forks should be placed to each guest
for the ntire supper
If the supper is served cold, enough
plates are placed in front of each guest
for sweets as well the meats, salads.
fetc-, that when one is used 1T has
only to be removed and not replaced.
This is also quite correct form. at a we'd
ding breakfast.
! Salad may be served with cheese, lob
ster, cold meat poultry, and is eaten
with silver knife and fork, and served
with the regular salad spoon and fork.
Under the name of entrees are in clud-
ed all small made dishes. These should
be served In the usual eptree dishes. If
a servant is not in the room to wait at
table, guests should quietly serve the
dishes placed in front of them.
In serving boiled fish a napkin is
placed upon the fish platter to absorb
the moisture. An ordinary dinner nap
kin may be used, and they frequently
become stained from the fish it is wise
to keep the same ones entirely for this
purpose. The napkin should be turned
in at the corners and adjusted to the
shape of the dish. Parsley and sliced
lemon, or whatever garnish Is used,
should be PLACED on the napkin around
the edge % the platter.
A salmon served cold should be
whole, not opened out, and should be
placed upon a platter without a napkin.
It may be garnished with parsley or
sliced cucumber; If the latter, sprinkle
them with little vinegar; or, the GU
cumbers may be served in a dish by
themselves, sprinkled with oil and vine
gar.
Trout may be served with anchovy or
caper sauce; shrimp sauce is eaten with
boiled salmon, boiled soles, boiled tur-
bot, fried plaice, fried whiting, etc. Oys-

Evolution of Indian Corn.

A surprising history is presented in
Bulletin No. 81 of the department of
agriculture of one of Americas great
est contributions to the food supply
Of the world, Indian corn. Under the
effects of cultivation, the recognized
varieties have increased from the few
known by the early explorers to more
than 500. The variations in size are
interesting, especially regards the
height of the stalk. This runs from a
foot and a half for some kinds OF pop
corn to 90 feet for a Tennessee variety,
and 30 feet or more for varieties grown
In the West Indies DR.. Sturtevant, the
author of the bulletin, describes one
group in which "each kernel is sur
rounded by a husk, and the ear thus
formed is thus enveIoped in husks."
Some classes of popcorn have ears only
one inch long, while the ears of common
corn sometimes attain a length Of 16
