A PICNIC BREAKFAST.
Odd Predicament which Befsll 9
Household Through a Serv-
ants Misdeeds.

Convivial servants are anything but
treasures, as one housekeeper found
to her sorrow the other day, relates
the Baltimore News. This housekeep-
er has a large family for which to
care, and so the news brought her
by a policeman at two o'clock one
morning recently that her trusted
colored henchman had been arrested
for fighting and was now languishing
In the station house was by no means
welcome.
It didn't make so much difference
about the man himself-he rightly
deserved his fate-the housekeepeI
said, but it d.d make difference tina,
he had the keys of the buffet and OF
the refrigerator in his pocket, and
that there would not be anything ike
knives and forks enough to go around
at breakfast, nor any butter or cream
at all.
At seven a. m. q member of the fam
ilv went to the station house TO see
what could be done for the ubiquitous
Abraham. and in the meanwhile those
of the household who were obliged
to breakfast early took turns at using
the two knives and three forks thai
were all of the table equipment moi
locked up.
1t was a real picnic breakfast
"Please lend me your knife" being the
remark oftenest heard, except certain
explosives, but it wasn't voted sue

appeared with his keys, purified by
good-sized fine, and opened the ooor'
of the closets. O..

ADVERTISED A HAIR WASH.
ut the NotOriety He Achieved
Through Advertisements.

Senator Joe Bailey, of Texas, en-
Joys the prominence he has achieved
in the councils of the nation, but
does not banker after the sort OF
fame some people seem disposed to
force upon him. He has protected
the constitution from the assaults OF
the rreverent and unitarian polit-
cal degenerates who sometimes seem
to him to delight to trail it in the
dust, but he does not like to be used
to sustain the pretensions of medi-
cine makers or the pretensions of
hair promoters. "a short time ago"
said Senator Bailey, with feeling in
his voice, two lady friends IN Chi
cago whom I esteem very highly sent

prise and disgust, my portrait was
printed, along with those of 10

GREYHOUNDS FEAR COYOTES.
Unaccountnble. Loss of Courage In an
Animal That Is Otherwise
Brave.

A greyhound is not always brave
and one thing he is particularly
afraid of is an animal respected by
no one-an animal that sinks along
n a cowardly manner and about
which no writer has as yet found
ANYTHING to admire. Why this is L

the great western hills and valleys,

ng much to the wild picturesqueness
If the country. l mean the coyote
And yet of the coyote, the poor un-
loved, cowardly coyote, the grey
hound is afraid. He will run down a
rabbit, seize him by the throat ana
with jerk break his neck, and then
larry him to his master. But let a
coyote come in sight, and the grey
hound loses his courage. AS long as
the coyote keeps running the hound
will run after him, but as soon as the
COYOTE stops short and faces ABOUT
The greyhound turns and runs away

more serious harm than TO prowl

USES OF LIQUID AIR.
There IL But Little Hope That II VIII
Ever Prove to lie More Than
Curiosity.

AS there is reason to believe that
a syndicate has been formed for the
purpose of floating a limited com
pany ostensibly for the commercial
utilization of liquid air, one or two
observations on this interesting sub
stance may be timely, says the Lon
don Express.
In the judgment of the most prom
inent authorities on the subject, the
commercial use of liquid air is not an
economic possibility. 1t is true that
large number of suggestions have
been made pointing to its adapta-
bility for different purposes. 1t has
been proposed as an explosive, and
liquid air cartridges have actually
been used with Indifferent results)
for blasting. Mr.. Tesla has been cred
tied with it's employment for increas'
ing electrical conductivity, and there
by transporting electric energy for
| thousands of miles without loss
LIQUID air, too, has been suggested
as motive power, preservatfve,
eaustic for medical purposes and fol-
a variety of other singular employ
ments.
It has to be borne in mind, how
ever, that liquid air for power pur
poses costs 200 times as much as
steam, requiring 200 degrees (Fahr
enheit) of frost for its production
and that in any case it is expensive
to make and most difficult of preser
walton. No doubt it excited great
hopes on its entry into the world as
manufactured product, but the bet
ter informed now regard it as des
tined to relapse into the position o.
a mere scientific curiosity.

THE RIVALS IN THE STREET.


All day In the street there's a tumble.
The people go hurrying past;
The proud and the careless and humble
At many a corner are massed,
And many man in q hurry
Goes lodging the trucks and the cars,
With no inclination to worry
Ger the state OF affairs on the stars
Each hopes to eclipse all the rest
Who are pushing and rushing
along,
And the weak and the timid are
Aside by the bold and the strong.
All day in the rush and the rattle
The contest continues. and ne'er
On the field of the bloodless battle
Were rivals more willing to dare
Than are they that 60 wildly pursuing
The maddening dollar all day,
Each ready to work the undoing
OF any who stands in the way
Each hoping TO pass all the rest
Who are pushing and stumbling
Where the weak and the timid are
Aside by the bold and the strong.
Far away from the racket, the riot,
Two men are asleep and serene
Where only the birds break the quiet
That reigns DER the iowery scene
But lately as rivals they hurried
Where the proud and the humble con-
tend,
And each Of them watched and was wor-
rled
Lest the other should win in the end
Each hoped 10 outstrip all the rest
That galloped or stumbled along
And the weak and the halt are still
pressed
Aside by the bold and the strong.

NO WASTE HERE.
What Is Done with Stale Bread Dy
Small Merchants In the
Large Cities.

A Long Island man who was show
ing a friend a couple Of hunting dogs
at his place the other day, looked up
as he heard the sound of approaching
wheels. "Here'sthe bread man." he re-
marked. says the New York Tribune,
and as his friend gazed in surprise at
the open cart laden with bullying
sacks, thinking it the strangest bak-
er's outfit he had yet seen, the owner
of the dogs bought barrel OF the
merchants stuff.
"It's for the dogs, you know"
he explained, as the wagon
drove up. "Broken up and
mixed with other things 1t makes
good food for them. That man does
very we'll with his stale bread business.
He buys the bread at a low price IN
the city, when it is too old to sell TO
customers there. But it hasn't
reached the dog food stage then by
any means. He first retails it as long
as he can to the TIA ians who work on
the roads and do all the hard labor
hereabouts. I believe they wash it
down with beer of about the same
state of freshness. Well, when the
bread gets so stake that even the ltal'
lans can't eat it il is ready to be ped
died around among the villages in the
neighborhood. The farmers buy it
to feed their pigs and chickens, and
good many people use it as l do, for
their dogs, so there is no loss or waste

AUTOMOBILE Wells.
And Some other Expensive Novelties
for Protecting the Complexion
of Ladies.

Everything in dress seems to smack
of the automobile these days, and
now we have automobile yelling,
which is much heavier than chiffon
yelling and finished with hem-stitched
edges. Besides looking very nice it
has the virtues of being durable and
of being a great protection for the
complexion. One little shop on Fifth
avenue has brought out this novelty
together with many others of the
more fancy sort, says the New York
Sun.
For the women who do not mind
spending hundreds of dollars for veil
ing in one season, there is a chiffon
veil hemstitched all around by hand
in the daintiest manner. Many fancy
effects on white mesh yelling are
made by using a large fat dot OF
white chenille with the tiniest little
dots of black chenille half way
around 1t.
Again there are punches of grapes
In white chenille dots with a little
coil stem done in black silk thread
The newest thing in colored chiffon
yelling has a medium large dot of vel
vet matching the color on one side
and white on the other.

PRIMITIVE COOKING.
Crude Utensils Used by the Anclents
In the Preparation of
Their Food.

Prof. S. Trojanovio, of Belgrade,
has for several months been making
an investigation with the object OF
ascertaining the exact manner in
which food was cooked in Europe in
primitive times, and he has now ar
rived at the conclusion that the gen.
eral practive was to place the food
in a pot and to warm it by means
of red hot stones, reports a London
paper.
Such pot was usually made of the
bark of tree, and two or three
sticks ran across it for the purpose
of holding the stones in proper posi-
ton. When a meal was to be pre-
pared the pot was partially filed
with meat and water, and then in the
vacant places were put the red-hot
stones. The food was quickly warmed
in this way, and it was eaten before
it grew cold.
various parts of Servia primitive
pots of this kind are still used. In
other parts of Europe, notably IN
Macedonia, pots formed of the bark
of trees are also used, but the food in
them, instead of being warmed by
means of hot stones, is thoroughly
cooked by a fire which is lighted
over them.
Prof. Trojanovio has made a collec-
ton of these pots, and he REGARDS
them as of peculiar interest and
value, since he is confident that in
old days about every nation in Europe
cooked it's food in utensils of this
| xind, though he thinks it quite prob
able that different method OF heat
ing the food prevailed in each coun'
