Among the numerous valuable speci-

Another Joke vlndlca,.d.

A stranded thespian troupe, liter.
ally walking the railroad ties be-
tween Utica and Rome. in New York,
were arrested as suspicious charac-
ters" on Monday, says the New York
World. Those who would regard
stranded actors as suspicious charac-
ters are themselves guilty. for "sus-
picion ever haunts the guilty mind. !"
One who could not tell that an actor
was an actor could hardly tell any
thing. The spectacle of a company OF
them walking railroad ties was such
vindication of sa.irical paragraphs
and CT comic journalism that for a
country constable not to realize the
fact was both strange and inexcus-
able. 1t either indicates the decline
of comic Journalism or its failure to
penetrate the recesses of the minds

Pineapple Juice.

In peeling a fresh pineapple the
eyes and pulp should never be thrown
away until they. too. have contrib
uted to the larder. Put these frag-
raents from large pineapple with six
unpeeled greening or other tart, juicy
apples into a saucepan, turn on water
enough to nearly cover them, cook
until they are soft and drain through
jelly bag. Boil the liquor thus OBJ
tained for twenty minutes. Then
measure 1t. add an equal proportion
Of sugar and cook again for five min
utes. Fill into tumblers.
II time is scarce an easier process
Is to cook the eyes and core in water
sufficient to cover them until they are
soft, and then press them through a
sieve and boil the Juice with sugar
for few minutes. The favored
syrup will be useful in an apple or
peach pie. in pudding sauce. in lem
onade or fruit punch, to serve with a
fruit macedone or with cut up ba-
nanas and oranges, and for no end of
purposes.

The --latest Ideas
From Paris

Flower boleros represent the latest
idea in floral garniture so much in
favor this and last season.
Some of the newest combs for the
hair are surmounted by artistic decora-
tions of fruit or flowers or foliage.
A wrist bag of suede frequently has
the ordinary chain handle replaced by
a narrow ribbon of the same shade as
the suede. The ribbon is doubled and
tied at one side in a bow.
Ecru valenciennes lace is used again
this year on gowns of white organdie,
though preference is given to the pure
white laces as a trimming for the new
gowns of this dainty material.
The rage for green this season is
carried out in laces, dyed in several
shades of this vivid color. hat trim

crown and brim of pleated white tulle,
draped with deep green lace. A bow

Next to the sumptuous yellow sat

prominently among the evening tex
tiles to be worn for two seasons to
come, the beautiful rose tints stand
supreme. In dancing toilets of silk

with satin ribbons, a soft pink gown
imparts an exquisite glow to the com.

Several weeks followed before the
climax was reached. Whenever a

A Meringue That Never Fails.


Never use a wheel beater for
meringue. Only with an egg whip can
one obtain good results. Use a deep
plate. Take the whites of two fresh
eggs, add speck of salt, and whip
until the whites are frothy; then add
as much cream of tartar as would
make a lump the size OF common
bean; continue whipping until you
have dry froth fold in lightly two
level tablespoons granulated sugar;
If flavor is desired, add it before
whipping; spread on pie, and set in
the front of the oven with the door
open; turn IL once, and let it stay for
at least two minutes. then push into
the oven, shut the door and brown
slightly. This meringue is always
perfect. and will be good when several
days old. 1t is dry on the outside
and tender within.

An accident occurred to Lee Allison
yesterday which might have proved very
serious indeed He left this city on No.

distance above Tunnel near DeBeque,
he was looking out Of the cab window to
see how some part Of the machinery was
working, when he was struck by some
thing, cutting long cash in his fore
head
Mr.. Allison went on until freight
train was met when he exchanged places
will the fireman on that engine and re-
turned to this city where he went to a
physician and had his head dressed. 1t
was necessary to have seven stitches
taken in his head, but he is doing very
nicely.
He said that it was impossible to say
what struck him, whether it was a rock
from bluff, which happened to be fall
ing, or whether it WAS something which
flew up from the ground He said it was
doubtful If the accident WAS caused by
any person throwing anything at him,
because there was very little room be-
tween the engine and the side OF the
grade He is equally certain that it was
nothing stationary because he did not
have his head far enough out OF the
window.
