POINTERS FOR THE COOK.

A thick pairing should be taken from cucumbers in order to remove the bitter portion lying directly un- der the skin. A very thick slice should, for the same reason, be re- moved from the stem end.
 Fresh halibut is delicious cut in strips, covered for half hour with French dressing, drained, dipped in beaten egg and bread crumbs and fried quickly iii deep fat. It should be served with sauce tartare.
 For the tomato sauce, which is al- ways delicious with boiled rice, cook together two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour. Add two cupfuls of strained tomatoes and stir until they thicken. Season with salt, pepper, a little onion juice and curry, if it is liked.
 Before using cornmea1 in bread always scald it to soften it's starch. There is not time enough during the baking for this to be done properly. Do this by scalding half of the milk or water you use, then pour it hot over the cornmeal. Next add the eggs, the rest of the cold liquid, then the flour and baking powder sifted together,

Mixinr Their Metanhor.

Few things are more joyous to an audience than the mixed metaphors of an orator. The Irish race is fa- nous for it's contributions to merri- ment in this particular. Here are three illustrations:
 .'You are," said late lord mayor of Dublin, Standing on the edge ot precipice that will be weight on your necks all the rest of your days"
 ''The young men of England.'' re- marked an English clergyman, "are the backbone of the British empire. What we must do is to train that backbone and bring 1t to the front"
 And this is from a member of par iament: Even if you carried these peddling little reforms, it would be only like a flea bite in the ocean."- Academy.

Too Busy for Bu.Inesa.

The importance of encounters for the championship was fully borne in upon the travelling man of business who thus relates his experience:
 When I arrived at Black Rock I in quired at the village tavern for man of the name of Wharton, who had some land to sell.
 Do you mean old Bill Wharton p "Yes.''
 "Got land down on Bass river?"
 "Yes."
 "Well, he lives about three miles out of town"
 Gan I get a horse?"
 sYes, but it won't do you any good"
 "Is he ill?''
 Not that I know of, but he wouldn't see the president of the United States before next Wednes- day. If you can wait seven or eight days, you can get to talk about that land with him."
 "Then he has some special business on hand?"
 Special business? We'll, I should say so and no mistake. To-day him and old Pete Davis sat down to a game of checkers TOT the champion ship of the county. y."-Philadelphia Times.

PANTALooNs WITH LINING.
They Used to He Worn But Are Never Heard Of i'm These
 Days.

An old clothing merchant in Chicago, whose sons have been his successors for many years, was in the store the other day for the first time in seven years, reports the Tribune.
 sI suppose you have no pantaloons with lining" he said to his eldest boy, who replied that he had never heard of such a thing.
 "We used to keep them in stock" 1" continued the father "As rule I think most pantalOons with lining were homemade. Your mother made the first I ever saw, and wore 'em. think the lining was of some sort of eambric. But there were few of my old customers who bought ready-made clothes of me, many years ago, and they insisted that their pantaloons should be linsd. They had ar idea that lining made the fit better. But the taiIors employed hated the work, and always charged more for putting in the lining.
 -One of my customers, who wouldn't live long if he had to wear ready-made clothes now, took fancy to pair of unlined pantaloons. but refused to make the purchase unless had lining put i'm That was in 1850. My tailor said he never heard of such thing, but insisted. He had to take the pantaloons apart-unstitch the seams and then put in the lining It took him over a week to do the job. The GUS toner got mad in waiting and refused to take the pantaioons. I sued him and got judgment, and he wouldn't speak to me for over year. saw him pass the house last week riding with his grandchildren in an automobile. I suppose he would have got hot if had reminded him of the time when be wore lined pantaloons. and he had straps to them besides, so as to keep them in shape I remember when a man who didn't wear straps to his pantaloons was not considered well dressed, and that was right here in Chicago"

THE TRAIL HAMMOCK
Solomon Considereth Its Deceit at
 Some Length.
Decideth That It Is a Delusion and e snare and Some Other Things Reduceth Proud Man to
 Humble Sight.

Thus writeth Josh Wink, the Solo mon of the Baltimore American:
 Consider now the hammock, how it lurketh like snare
 To grab the unsuspecting man and throw him in the air.
 Yea, verify, the hammock hath a look of innocence, but it may take the strongest man and throw him to the fence.
 The hammock hangeth to the trees with meek and humble look,
 And tempteth foolish man until he cometh with book,
 And climbeth in and stretcheth out and openeth the page,
 And then the wicked hammock get teth up it's fiercest rage.
 It turneth like, a serpent, and it taketh such clutch
 Upon the feeble victim that he gaspeth very much.
 It whirleth him about the air and opes his eyes again he's damned up on the ground.
 O, surely, surely, this is so, yet over him the while
 The hammock swayeth quietly and seemeth then to smile.
 But yet again the man doth get within the hammock there, and think eth he will read the book and banish all dull care,
 And then again the hammock jumps before page he's read,
 And ere he knoweth what is up he standeth on his head.
 Yea, verify, and then again ham, mock in the shade
 Will cunningly exert itself and lure a foolish maio
 To seek to rest within it's folds, and when she sitteth in
 The hammock, it will almost seem to wear happy grin.
 It seizeth on the maiden fair and chuckleth at her shriek,

And landeth her upon her neck be fore she tries to speak;
 She spraineth both her dainty wrists and moaneth: 70, alas!"
 And fndeth that her pompadour is cluttered up with grass. And all the while the hammock sways with truly pleasant gall,
 And seemeth to inquire of her: Good sakes! Did some one fall?''
 o, yes, my son, and on time when Cupid holds his sway,
 And some enamored youth comes round to learn the happy day,
 'Tis then the hammock acteth worst, for it will hold the twain
 Until impassioned murmurs mark the courtship of the swain,
 And then the hammock taketh them and in the air doth hump,
 And giveth both their foolish heads a most terrific bump.
 And slingeth them about the place "ntil it getteth tired,
 And when it wearieth at last across the yard they're fired;
 The man descendeth in heap upon the garden walk;
 The maid hath hairpins in her eyes, and is too mad to talk;
 And then the wicked hammock waits in most unholy glee
 To hear the racket that it knows is very sure to be;
 For when the maid regains her breath she rises to her feet,
 And yoweIh that the man him salf is full of all deceit,
 And that he pulled it down himself, and that she never more
 Will see his face, and wisheth that he'd gone an hour before,
 And that she'll never, never, be his bonnie blushing bride,
 And so he getteth to his feet and far away doth ride.
 My son, beware the hammock when it swings itself aright,
 For it can make the proudest man a truly humble sight.

ASTHMA INSTANTLY RELIEVED.
Dr R. schiffmann Astounds the Pub lie with the Success of His
 Treatment.

Residents of thIs place were aston ished by notification in these columns that the celebrated physician. Dr Ru- doiph Schiffmann, would make public test Of his remedy in this city On man. woman and child suffering with asthma to call at the Apothecaries' Hall Co store, and obtain, absolutely free, trial box of his medicine pr Schlnmann adopted this novel way Of introducing his treatment, believing that a free personal test would be the best and only way to overcome the prejudice and scepticism of thousands of asthmatics who had given up in despair after going through the whole range of so-called cures. He has ill this manner proved the efficacy of his remedy, and without asking the pub lie to spend penny. Dr Schiffmann hopes that every sufferer in this town obtained one of his free samples. He fears, however, that there were some few who did not, before they were all given out. In order to give a fair opportunity to those who have not yet used the remedy, and also as a guar antee of good faith, he has now re- quested this paper to announce that he has arranged with the above drug glSts to refund the money to any per- son who purchases of them either soc or $1.O0 package of Schiffmann's Asthma Cure between now and Oc- tober p, and finds that it does not do exactly as is claimed for it; the only condition being that they return not less than three-fourths of the package to them. Dr Schiffmann claims that in every case of true asthma his reme- dy will give immediate relief usually within fften seconds; always within
 as many minutes. It has positively permanently cured thousands of cases which were considered incurabIe.

BURGLARS ENTER RAILROAD
 STATION AND FEED MILL.
Secure Small Reward for Their Work Thought to Be Same Crowd Who Stole from Clothes Line-Left No Traces-E -Electioneering.

Once more that mysterious gang CT burglars has committed burglary, this time at the railroad station, making total of five times that the station has been entered in this same mysterious manner. The deed was discovered this morning when Agent Lynch opened the office, and was probably committed about midnight. The bur glars obtained entrance probably with a chisel, prying open the office WlndoW. Then the lock on the ticket case was broken and the contents ransacked, but from every indication no tickets were stolen. All the money in the cash drawer, about 65 cents, was the total reward for their efforts, and the laugh this time is on the burglars. The gang went from the railroad sta tion to Welton's feed mill and prIed open the window in the office there. As no money is left there over night they were again without reward for their labor Nothing else in the mill was disturbed Not the slightest trace could be found. About midnight one of the neighbors was awakened by some angry words in front of his house. It is supposed that the thieves were the same ones who have been stealing from local clothes lines.
 Mrs Winters, who has been residing in Tyrells house on North Main street, has moved to Burton street, Water bury.

ables this improved system to be car
ried out.
The Lackawanna Railroad, under
the direct supervision of its dining
car department, will open on the
morning of January IL, restaurant
and lunch counter in the Hoboken
terminal. For more than tour months,
carpenters. plumbers, electric light
men, painters and decorators have
been at work upon these rooms, which
now compare favorably with the best
restaurant plants in the city of New
York. The kitchen has been thorough
ly fitted with the most perfect mo-
dern equipment and is prepared to
handle rapidly and thoroughly the
great variety of dishes which are
included in the menu. The restaurant
proper is roomy, light and airy and
it's tables are fitted with high grade
china, crystal, silver and linen. The
bill of fare includes that large variety
of perfectly prepared dishes which
within year have made for the Lack
awanna Railroad the reputation of
giving to the public the best all
around dining car service in the
United States. The same care, dill
gence and energy which have built up
this enviable reputation for the dim
ing cars will control the managem ent
of this Hoboken restaurant. In adj
ditlon to the restaurant a large lunch
counter will be maintained in the
Hobol1en terminal for the accomoda-
tion of those who desire quicker SER
vice and less elaborate meals. 1t is
the aim of the management to pro-
vide the best possible meals at the
most reasonable rates and prices have
