QUITE METROPOLITAN.

New York is q big city, but it Is not ahead of New Haven in some important respects Horse cars still crawl around in some of the streets of New York, and New Haven has got by New York in that respect. She is at least even with New York in the matter of keep ing her streets dug up and changing good pavements for others not as good And now she has police investigation that is quite metropolitan in it's quail ity and revelations. That fine old phrase "for the good of the service is doing duty here just as it does in New York, and we are enabled to see, just as they do in New York, how some things are done. It does not yet appear that all the things that are done in New York are done here but we can't fairly expect that until the city is big ger. It does appear, however, that promising beginning has been made, and that there is reason to expect growth. Perhaps the next thing we shall see will be that reform here is much like it is in New York.

ANOTHER PROSPEROU US YEAR.

The Suez canal reports another pros- porous year. The figures show that the business done last year. thanks to
 the Chinese trouble, which sent the
 battleships of all nations through the
 big ditch, was practically equal to the
 phenomenal record of 1899. The total re-
 ceipts amounted to 93,Oo000o francs, or
 $50 900 francs less than those of the pre-
 vious year, giving net profit of 52,000,-
 tory reserve there remains sum of
 51 91S, ,000 francs, which allows of net
 dividend of 108 francs, the same as in 1899. The total number of vessels pass
 ing through the canal was 3,441, of which 1885 were British, 462 German, 285 French 232 Dutch, 126 Austrian, 100 Russian, S2 Italian, 63 Japanese, 34 Spanish, 2S Turkish, 30 Norwegian, 27 Danish, g American, z Belgian, Por- tuguese, Swedish, Greek, and 1 Ar genuine. The passengers numbered 282, ,00O this being the highest number on record, except that of 1896 The ci- william passengers numbered 102,000, the pilgrims and emigrants 25,000, and the military passengers 900. A number of improvements in the canal will be pushed forward so as to bring 1t Into the highest possible state of efficiency. These will include a series of new sta tions for large vessels, and general increase of the depth of the canal to 91s metres. The directors ask authority to issue new loan of 25, 000,0 ,000 francs, under a plan which will involve no in- crease to present burdens, and will be sufficient to defray the expenses of all the new work now contemplated.

Gladstone in 1897 His size in hats in- deed was enght and one-half, or half a size larger than that of Dr. Thomp- son. who succeeded Archbishop Long lev at York, and of Daniel O'Connell whose head covering, which was on view a few years ago at a meeting of the County Kildare Archaeological so- ciety at Naas, measured eight and one- half inches in width and ten inches in

NO GOLDEN SANDS THEIR F.

Don't buy any stock in the Gold Min ing Company of Apia. You can lose what you need to lose just as well and more conveniently in some of the Texas oil companies. Consul-General L. w. Osborne, at Apia, Samoa, reports that he has received a large number of let ters inquiring about the discoveries of gold on that island He says that he has from time to time made investiga- tions, but has been unable to find any trace of either gold, silver, nickel, zinc. tin or other valuable mineral Some American papers have published stories of the golden sands of Samoa, telling how they were sent by ships to Syd- ney, where the metals were extracted. He feels sure that either some one is trying to perpetrate tremendous swindle, or else the stories are the work of some practical joker. There have not been any ships loaded with miner als, precious or otherwise, that have sailed from Samoa, except possibly some of the trading schooners that might carry sand or stone as ballast. Further, he claims that no official on the island has ever heard of the Gold Mining Company of Apia, the company reported to be carrying on the busi- ness.
 those suspicious ones who may think that the consul is trying to get hold of all the golden sands for himself.

the scales are uniform in appearance,

Maryland cooks add vanilla extract
to coffee with satisfactory results. The
beverage Is prepared In the French
style, and to. every quart one tea
spoonful OF vanilla Is added. The Inn

that of hot chocolate with vanilla or

addition of a quarter cupful of almonds

To cream of tomato sauce some cooks
add a few slices Of orange just before

A TREE pigeon srorI.

A gentleman had two pairs OF pi-
geons living In dovecots placed side
by side. In each pigeon family there
was n father and mother bird and
two little ones. On certain day the
parents I'm one dovecot went away 10
get food, and while they were gone one
of their little birds fell out Of the dove
cot and down TO the ground. The poor
baby bird was not much hurt, strange
70 say, but 1t could not get back, for 1t
was too young to fly.
Now, the parents In the other dove
cot were at home when this happen
ed, and 1t seemed as II they said to
themselves: zone Of our babies might
fall out in Just that way. We must do
something to make the dovec0t SAT-
err" And then this wise. careful father
and mother went to work. They flew
about until they found some small
sticks. These they carried to their own
dovecot, and there In the doorway
they built a cunning little fence of
sticks, not so high but that the little
pigeons could look over II, but high
enough TO keep them from ever falling
out of the dovecot as their little
nelghbOr had done. The owner Of the
pigeons, who had seen the birding fall
and had put 1t back into its dovecot,
watched the birds the whole time as
they gathered the sticks and built the
fence across the doorway. This Is a
true story. and 1t is often told to some
children in Boston by a lady who
knows the owner Of these very pl-
geOns.- Philadelphia Ledger.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
coRee and COffeepOts--A Handy Wall
POcket-sOme Things to
Know.

Counseis of perfection abound when
It comes to the making of coffee.
To the old fashioned palate none Is so
good as boiled coffee which Is made by
a careful cook. But mark the adjective
and realize how rare treasure Is q
cageful cook AS usually made the best
paM Of boiled coffee is the aroma,
whi6, fills the third story landing and
Is absolutely lacking elsewhere.
To make II successfully the cook
should put good coffee into cold water
and stand the pot at the back Of the
range until the family Is heard In the
dining room. Then az the cereal Is
served the coffee may be brought to q
boil and kept there five or six minutes,
cleared with cup Of cold water and
sent to the table.
Since few cooks can be depended up
on for this intelligent care 1t Is now
sought to introduce In this country the
French system OF coffee making by
means Of pulverized coffee and porce-
lain pots.
We are all familiar with this drip
coffee as made In tin pots with cotton
bag or in china pots with n perforated
blggln, but neither Of these Is quite
successful. No amount Of care can
keep the bag coffee entirely free from
the taste Of the old bag, and the china
blggln has holes 80 large that the cot
fee cannot be ground fine enough to al
low the boiling water to extract much
strength.
The new idea is embodied In a porce.
lain pot and blggin, but over the per-
forations Of this last is laid filtering
paper OF special make. which prevents
the pulyerized coffee from passing
through the holes and retains the wa
ter Just long enough to give 1t a chance
to extract the full strength and flavor
