A Policeman. Blunder.

Gen. Grant believed that OF all men
In the country the president of the
United States should obey every law.
An excellent opportunity was offered
for the practical demonstration OF this
belief in the following amusing Incl
dent:
One night about dusk. Grant, dip
lomat, two senators and member OF
the cabinet were returning from a
drive. They were late. the president
had a pressing engagement that even
ing and he was making up for lost
time with a vengeance. The span
came tearing down Connecticut ave-
nue., but when l Street was reached
a new recruit on the police force held
them up for fast driving. The presi-
lent quietly said, Eyes, l guess was
driving too fast, now you speak OF IT,
WELL" replied the delighted police
man, proud that he had the courage
20 bring to terms some swells from
swelldom, you can consider your
selves under arrest" He climbed up
On the seat with Gen. Grant and the
horses were driven toward the station
house. A quiet voice soon whispered
In the policeman's ear, do you know
whom you have arrested" mo, and
I don't care" was the rejoinder. "Oh,
ell right" replied the soft voice, Il
only thought that you ought to know
that it's the president"
"Wha-a-t!" gasped the agonized po-
liceman, as he comprehended the truth
and realized the absurdity OF his posi-
ton. He begged them to let him go,
but the president insisted that 1t was
q just arrest and, drawing up at the
station house, paid the full fine for the
transgression of the law.

WHEN PRETTY FEET SUFFER.
Those Who Have to Stand All Day Fare Worse Thnn Those Who
 Can Walk About.

It is pity that certain employments deprive many women of their inalien- able right to pretty feet. New York doctors protest that they do not find the situation among shop girls quite so deplorable here as it is reported by St. Louis specialist, but they ad- init that standing for hours at a stretch certainly does have tendency to produce Indebtedness, states an exchange of that city.
 .By this do not mean that you will not find hundreds of pairs of pretty feet among shop employees" explained one doctor. Some of the prettiest feet in New York are this moment hid- inp their charms behind the counters of our big stores, but some of the ug- Hest ones are concealing their deform- ities in the same place.
 "Most people who are on their feet all day are bound to have trouble over the shape and size of their extremities. Those who stand fare worse than those who walk about, for the move ment and circulation tend to prevent the hatness which so many clerks complain of. For that reason, the waitress, for example, will find that her feet retain more of their natural virtues and acquire fewer vices than the snvp g1ri'r.

NEW TIppLE FOR WOMEN.
gardial F1avored with Roses That Tastes Like the Odor of
 the Flowers.

Many women at the east have taken of late to 8 new tipple imported from Holland and called oil of roses, re- ports an eastern exchange. It is a cordial in name only. It is none of the sticky, sirupy components of the other insipid cordials, but has pe- culiar, almost biting taste that appeals to the feminine palate. This cordial is favored with bride roses and is the invention of firm in Amsterdam that was organized in 1875. A bushel of selected roses are crushed into & press and the essence is extracted by g complicated system. This distllla- tion is enlivened with alcohol and other spirits, but naturally the flavor of roses is responsible for the increas- ing popularity of the drink. The cor dial tastes like a rose smells. The color is pale pink and as the distilla- ton of "huile de roses" requires an enormous amount of roses and great care, this is the most expensive cordial on the market. A mere tablespoonful for 25 cents The firm in Amsterdam exports this liquor in genuine Delft jugs that the purchaser retains, and the average woman derives much pleasure taking home the tiny Jug from which she has quaffed the de- lightful cordial.
 It may be said of this new tipple, however, that it induces inebriety just as quickly as whisky toddy, cocktail or ''sour," and the resultant headaches are just as distressing.

HIS DIGNITY INJURED.
The Awful 'Roast" Given Reporter
 by the Lady He Sought to '#F Interview.

A reporter on one of the local daily papers is small of stature and looks and behaves like very young boy. One night recently he was sent to Everett on an assignment by the night city editor, relates the Boston Herald. He called at house and asked for the lady he wished to interview. 1t was after nine o'clock, and the cur few had warned all children from the streets on penalty of being arrested and locked up.
 The questions the reporter asked the lady. were impertinent but irn- portant. She gazed at the innocent looking "child' before her a moment, and then said: Little one, you are not reporter. You are an imposter whom some idle, malicious gossip has sent here to worry me. You ought to be in your bed. Now run along home or you will get arrested and locked in cold dungeon; for re- member, the curfcw has rung, and all little boys must be in bed, nicely, tucked in, before the curfew rings. So run along like a good little child"
 The reporter choked down his wrath and went his way. But his dignity had been assailed, and he gave vent to his feelings later when he related his experience to his chief, Now he is devoting all his energy to, growing mustache.

cALIFoRNIA's NEW PRUNEs.
Some of Their Characteristics as De- 1cribed by the Late Senator
 McMiIInn.

The recent seismic disturbances in California gave the late Senator Mo Milan an opportunity to tell story about the boosting proclivities of the people of that state when referring to their fruit production, says western exchange. The senator was fond of a good story or joke and told one with great deal of humor and skill. While party of friends were discussing the earthquake shocks in lhe golden gate state, the senator said: "They are so enterprising out there. I've not the slightest doubt, for instance, but that they'll take very practical advantage of these seismic disturbances. They'll probably put an earthquake prune on the market, as prunes are what they happen to be booming just how. It will appear,I I suppose, as soon as ever they can print the labels. They will describe it, at any rate you may be sure, in the most modern style. They'll say that the skin has been made tender by the sudden jar, that the juices have been wonderfully blended by the vigorous shake and that the stones have been loosened by the sudden shock. When those prunes are steWed they ought to rumble like the ominous sound of an approaching earthquake, and when you put one into your mouth you ought to expert ence 3 quick, little electric thrill As for their effect upon the barometer, If that is brought near any of them, 1t will certainly fall to the notch op- posite which are inscribed those dread ful words, Sudden disaster"

ABOUT FISH COOKING.
Some Simple Suggestions Which May
 Contain Som ethinE. New to I .. Many Housewives.

Among all the different ways of preparing the dried fish there is none better, easier or more quickly than by creaming. 1t can be cooked in ten minutes, simply using brown wrap ping paper or old newspaper twisted into sticks for fuel, says the Washing ton Star. If you burn gas 1t can be prepared in even less time. Formerly it was considered cheaper and better to get the whole fish and ''pick it apart' as needed. To-day there is such excellent shredded fish in the market that it is great saving of time and labor to get it already pre- pared. Put your saucepan over the fire, and in it melt two tablespoonfuls of butter. As soon as it begins to bubble add two scant tablespoonfuls of four and dash of pepper. Pour on gradually, stirring all the time, one pint of warm milk. If heated so much the better. Stir until the cream sauce is smooth and velvety, then add one cupful shredded fish, which has been soaked a moment In cold water.
 If you have picked up the fish your self it will need longer soaking in luke-warm water before adding to the sauce. When this is we'll heated through add one teaspoonful of chopped parsley, and if desired one or two well-beaten eggs. Cook one mo- ment and serve with baked potatoes. This preparation may be varied from time to time. You may omit the eggs entirely, or instead of the raw eggs have two hard-boiled eggs, sliced and laid on the platter of fish. Or take the yolks from two hard-boiled eggs and run through the ricer or an ordinary sieve over the fish, then cut the whites in rings and lay about the edge of tho platter as border. Still another variation is a border of tiny slices of cucumber pickle.
 It is not generally known that cod fish makes an excellent scallop, espe- cially in combination with cheese. Prepare the fish as for creaming. Butt ter a pudding dish and place in the bottom layer of the fish. Crate over this slight covering of cheese. Re- peat until the dish is filed Scatter few fine Abreadcrumb over the top of the fish and bake from 20 to 30 min utes in a hot oven.

POUNDS

liam Precht; 21, William Nichols; 22, Charles Tomlinson. The rural carriers are Alfred Mitchell, who covers Wol- cott and Woodtick, and Augustus Williams, who covers Prospect.
 The average number of pieces deliv- cred by the letter carriers each day is between 600 and TOO. There are two whose routes cover the center mostly, who deliver from 1900 to 1,400 pieces q day, and on Mondays this is increased to 1,600 to 1,700 pieces This increase Is due to the Saturday night, Sunday and Monday mail. The heaviest mail is carried by Precht, Schwenck md Hotchkiss. whose territory takes in the second ward mostly. 1t is particularly heavy between the 20th and the 25th Of each month. This is the time when tho periodicals. magazines and other heavy mail of that description is dumped into the local office. The law requires that but sixty pounds of mail shall be carried at one time, but there have been occasions when at least nine- ty pounds have been taken out by one or more of the carriers in the second ward district.
 | The routes in the center, while they | have more pieces, have not the weight | Of some of the others. Kunke1 and Warner. on that route, have carried double the numbers of pieces, but yet l have escaped the weight, because their mail is mostly for business people. So large is the mail on the center route that Carrier Kelly has been forced to assist after he has finished with his own territory, which is a light one. l The center routes are covered four times daily and the others are covered l from one to three times a day. One Handicap that is met with is in regard to the manner in which magazines and | periodicals are dumped into the office. Some of those are ready for delivery | when mailed. as they are arranged in rotation on each street. The great ma tority. however, are put in promiscuous- ly and many times people have refused
 to receive some of the periodicals or | newspapers, making double work for the carrier. This is the fault of the publishing house, which has ignored the orders of many subscribers to cease sending such papers or periodicals. This has been carried to such an extent that the department has taken hold of the matter and some of those houses
 may be brought up with round turn
 and may find it impossible to use the mails at all. Just now one paper which naS been nOodlng the state and has neg
 lected to stop sending papers to people
 who do not want them even when re-
 0uested to do so by the department
 itself, is on edge as to what the depart
 ment will do in the matter and is mak-
 ing big fight to be permitted to use
 the mails on the promise to cease send
 ing any more papers to people who do
 not want them.
 The rural carriers are permitted
 while carrying mail to sell goods of any
 kind that the people may want. The
 two local men take advantage of this
 point and aside from their salaries
 they make pretty good thing out of
 it. All are now working on the eight.
 hour system and no one is required to
 do more. 1t has worked very satisfac-
 torily so far, and with the addition of an extra carrier Waterbury will be as well supplied as any city in the state

SUPPOSED RELIC OF ALLoURz.
Bronze sun-DiaI md Compass FouRd on Green Ray shore of His-
 torjc Value. @

In January of this year two hunt CTS found upon the site of an old In- dian village on the southeast shore of Green Bay, Wis, just above Point Sable, a combined sun dial and com pass of bronze, evidently of great age.
 MT. Reuben G. Thwaites, in his re- cent volume on Father Marquette, thinks that this instrument may have belonged to Father Claude Jean Allouez or some of his assistants at the Green Bay mission. This was the second Jesuit mission. The first was ats sLapointe on Lake Superior, where Marquette went in the autumn of 1869 to succeed Allouez.
 The bronze compass and sun dial contains rudely engraved upon it the latitude and longitude of several of the principal forts, missions and oth- CT settlements in New France. The spelling and other photographic pe- culiarities are of the seventeenth cen tury.
 Allouez says in his journal that he went to reform a. settlement of six French fur traders who were mal- treating the Indians. During the winter of 1669-7o he visited along the shore of the bay at various Indian villages. The village where the in strument was found was probably one of them, and the instrument may be relic of .Allouez, Marquette's predecessor. s-@-A
