Has for Extending CIemency.
Magistrate Cunningham of the cen
trail police court of Philadelphia is
sometimes little eccentric in the
punishment of those hauled before
him for misdemeanors. The other
day Bill Jones, who had been found
upon the public highway minus tho
faculty of navigation, was arraigned
before him.
Married or single?" asked the mag.
.strate.
Single, SIR replied the shaking
rulprit.
You ought to get married. If you
had wife and family to occupy your
attention you would have no desire to
drink" said the magistrate. I'll dis
charge you, but ! hope you'll give to
matrimony more thought than yoa
have to liquor
John Smith who had also been ar.
rested for being intoxicated, was next
called.
Married or single, John?' queried
the magistrate.
Married, your honor" was the
prisoners reply
Then you have no business getting
drunk. Drinking should be done by
single men who have no family to re.
Gure their attention and cash. Yon
ought to have remained single, then
the damage you are doing would fall
upon you alone. Go home and think
it Over.'

FAMOUS COOKS OF PARIS.
Genius In the Culinary Art as in Other
Things.

Genius In the Culinary Art as in Other
Things.
In a recently published book on Gull
mary art DR.. Lemaunier, physician
of Paris, gives several interesting
items regarding well-known chefs.
He mentions the melancholy death Of
Trompette, the celebrated cook to the
Duke of Noailles, who, in fit of am
bitior deserted his aristocratic master
for the luxurious but plebeian kitchen
of Gambetta. He never forgave him
self this, base and sordid action, and
died in a state of melancholy. After
Trompette comes long list OF illus
trious men who have raised French
cookery to it's well-deserved reputa-,
ton.
The Maison Doree gives $4,000 a
year to Casimir Moisson; the Baron de
Mohrenheim had in his kitchen two
brothers. the Fauvets. who never sep
arate: the Duchess of Alba, cousins OF
Empress Eugene, has for her chef
George Bouzon, who was a great ia
vorite of Napoleon III.
The cook of Nicholas II. gets $4,000
a. year; he is an Alsatian of the name
of Krantz and enjoyed such privileges
under Alexander II. that he was al
lowed to carry sword. and, what is
more, to retain his French nationality.
The cook of the King Of the Hellenes
took all his degrees in the university.
but in 1858, carried away by his love
of the art, he entered as cook in the
Comte de Chambord's house, whence
he passed into the kitchen OF the
Duchess of Parma, the mother OF the
Princess Of Bulgaria; and now he
caters for the palates of the royal fam
lily of Greece.
Chevalier, who learned his art at
the Jockey Club, under the celebrated
Jules Gouffe, began his career in the
royal house Of Sweden and is now
with that Of Roumania.

Paul believed it wise to keep one eye
on her, not knowing what a desperate
woman might attempt when brought
to lay.
And somehow he had presentiment
that, while it looked as though this
might be Aimee's game, there was a
setback in store for her that would end
in her overwhelming defeat.
As the major read the documen. she
looked surprised, even puzzled.

pursued Sir Noel, with the convincing
manner Of a lawyer.
None at ALL would be willing to
stake my life upon that" came the
reply.
Fool, fool, don't you see the trap"
cried the countess. firmly.
But Sir Noel was appealing to all
that was best in the majors compost
tion--his pride as soldier, and the
subordination of all other feelings to
duty toward a superior officer as laid
! down in the manual Of arms.
Then you can consider that this
gentleman is the companion mentioned

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently = young woman
finds 1t necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or home SER
want cannot do it. Hence these direc.
tons for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists SO that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight In damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves. followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap.
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top Of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist
is ironed it should be we'll aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

"Andover," said the clergyman,
