pan containing some boiling beef tea
which has been nicely seasoned. Care,
fully slip the egg into the pan and
poach it in the usual way. When it is
done, place it on a rather thick round
of buttered toast. Thicken a small
quantity of beef tea quickly with lit
tie corn flour and pour it over the egg.
Another way of serving a poached
egg is as follows: Break a new laid
egg into buttered teacup, season it
with salt and pepper and place the cup
in stewpan containing sufficient boil
ing water to reach rather more than
half way up the cup. AS soon as the
egg is set turn it carefully on to a piece
of hot, buttered toast. While the egg
is cooking boil a small quantity of
cream in a saucepan, season it with q
little celery, salt and pepper and add
teaspoonful Of chopped parsley to it.
Pour the cream over the egg and serve
at once.-New York Post

Our First Postal Rates.

The first law of congress fixing rates
Of postage went into effect on June /,
1892, with rates as follows:
Not exceeding 30 miles, 6 cents.
Over 80 and not exceeding 60 miles,
cents.
Over 60 and not exceeding 100 miles,
10 cents.
Over 100 and not exceeding $50
miles, 121a cents.
Over $50 and not exceeding 200
miles, Is cents
Over 200 and not exceeding 250
miles, II cents.
Over 25O and not exceeding $50
miles, 20 cents.
Over $50 and not exceeding 45O
miles, % cents.
Over 450 miles, 25 cents.
1t would seem that postmasters Of
that day must have been greatly per-
picked in adjusting the rates on each
letter under such diversified schedule
as the above. The weight limit was
one ounce (single), but a single letter
was single sheet. two sheets double,
three sheets triple, four sheets quad
ruple letter, even if the whole four did
not exceed an ounce.

man who had been travelling abroad
"I did once" he continued, ''and that
experience was more than enough for
me. 1t happened at a hall at Musta-
pha, at the Hotel st. Georges. 1 asked
an Austrian countess to waltz, and
when we started supposed we would
dance in the leisurely American fash

in her head. She preferred to whirl
madly like dervish on a space that
could be covered with a parasol, and
on account Of her superior strength
clung to her, and we began to spin.

A Shock For CARLYLE.

Thackeray once told Sir John Millais
this amusing story Of Carlyle:
He had spent day in the reading
room Of the British museum and had
given a great deal of trouble to one of
the officials, sending him up and down
ladders in search Of books to satisfy
his literary tastes, and on leaving the
room he had gone up to the man and
told him that it might be some salts
faction to him to know that he had
obliged Thomas Carlyle. The official
hesitatingly answered him, with a
bland smile and the usual washing of
hands in the air, that the gentleman
had the advantage of him, but that
probably they might have met at some
mutual friends house. He had never
heard of Thomas Carlyle.

Lawton,s Rubber Bathtub,

General Lawton made it a habit Of
| his life to take a cold water bath ev-
cry morning before breakfast, and
while campaigning he carried with him
rubber tub. 1t made no difference
where he was, he always ordered the
tubful Of cold water to his quarters
every morning.
In following the Apaches he reached
a mountain. He knew that the In
dians had fled there, and before pursu-
ing them farther he left his rubber
tub and other tent equipments at the
base of the mountains in charge Of an
old and faithful sergeant to guard
carefully until he returned. 1t was an
old trick with that tribe Of Indians
when being pursued to circle around
and return to the exact point whence
they started.
The general left the tub and started
out after the Indians. They circled
around, covering a wide territory, and
beat General Lawton back to the base
of the mountain. When he got there,
he found that the old sergeant and his
six men had been killed and that his
tub had been carried off by the In
dians. The Apaches evidently learned
how highly the general priced the rub
Der tub, for they placed great store By
it after they had captured it and guard
ed it as closely as they did their own
lives-Louisvill" Courier '0rrnol

The body needs internal as we'll as
external baths to keep it healthy. To
give the body an internal bath drink
plenty Of water. Two quarts should
be taken each day, beginning with a
glass just after rising and ending with
glass just before retiring. If you
are inclined to stoutness, do not drink
during meals or within a half hour be-
fore or after them. If your complexion
is bad, nothing is more conducive to a
cure than drinking water either hot or
cold, but preferably the latter.-New

4 DROP in PRICE.
The Miner Took Less Than He First
Asked For His Claim.

| ABASU + Or S1a1ms
These fabulous stories you hear, ~
said a Colorado man, "of the wonder
| full discoveries made and prices receiv-
ed for claims in the mining regions
bring back to my mind a story that
used to be told in the earlier days of
Colorado.
"a young chap had there located a
claim in which he had every confidence
that ore existed, but try as he would
he was unable to locate the precious
metal, and little by little he became
sicker and sicker at heart until at
length there came day whose closing
was marked by clean encouragement
on his part. His last piece of bacon
was eaten, his last stick of gunpowder
fired and his credit utterly used up
Still he believed the ore to be there,
but he recognized the utter futility on
his part Of trying further to get at it.
Lonely and out of spirits, just at sun
set he stood at the door of his cabin
looking for the last time over the
scene of his useless efforts. when down
the winding trail. came a stranger
astride of broncho. Taking in the sit
uation at glance, the man reined in
his cayuse and called out to the lonely
figure in the cabin doorway, Say,
pardner, what will you take for that
played out claim of yours?
Hope sprang up and cleaned from
the miners eyes as he firmly replied:
PLAYED out nothing. It'll take $1,000
600 cold to buy me OUT
THE stranger slowly gathered up the
reins. 'I'll give you $S,' he said ten
tatively.
"'All in cash? queried the late pro-
spective millionaire eagerly.
Yep was the response.

the mine owner closed the transac-

SAM HOUSTON'S SECRET.
Why He Left His Wife and Joined
the CherOkees Is Mystery


"A mystery in which the American
people were once deeply concerned was
that which shadowed the life Of one OF
the most remarkable characters of the
country" writes William Perrine in
The Ladies' Home Journal "In 1895
Samuel Houston, or, as he called and
signed himself, Sam Houston, was
governor Of Tennessee. 1t was in the
midst of campaign for reelection to
the gubernatorial chair that Tennessee
was startled by report that he had
resigned his office. He had been mar
family. Three months afterward she
returned to her fathers house, and her
husband resolved to pass the rest of
his life in the wilderness.
Houston betook himself to the tribe
Of Cherokees in the Indian Territory.
He adopted their costume, appearing
in all the trappings Of an Indian brave,
letting his hair grow down his back
and visiting Washington with buck
skin hunting shirt. yellow leggings, a
huge blanket and turkey feathers
around his head. No one could induce
him to reveal the secret of his meta
morphosis and his abandonment of the
ways and habits of civilization. He
married again after he emerged from
his Indian life, and he lived to be an
old man, dying in the midst of the civil
war, but no one was ever able to per-
suade him to unlock the mystery Of his
life. Nor would his first wife, who also
married again, throw any light on the
mystery"
