KEEPS HER LUNCHEON HID.
All Sorts of Schemes for ConeenIinE
IL from Public View Adopted
the Busines. Girl.

The girl who does office OF other
work downtown soon finds out that by
carrying her luncheon from home she
not only saves money, but gets much
more satisfactory snack about noon
time. At the same time she does not
care to have it known that she is car
rying a luncheon; therefore she de-
vises all sorts of schemes for making
it appear that she is carrying any
thing under the sun except luncheon.
One faultlessly attired girl takes her
collars to be laundered every day-at
least she carries small square laun-
dry box each morning. 1t is never
wrapped in paper and is tied with
most prosaic cord. In contrast to this
is the exceptionally dainty parcel
which another girl carries. 1t might
contain a gift, so eXquisitely is it
wrapped. But it has exactly the shape
of two square slices of bread, with
perhaps n bit of meat between, says
the New York Herald.
A blonde with a smart pompadour
is apparently planning to ruin her di-
gestion with n dainty box of bonbons.
But the box occasionally betrays it's
owner by emitting faint odor of
cheese or gingerbread. The girl with
the demonstrating paint box would
never have been suspected if she had
not inadvertently opened it one day
to show a friend new and delicious
sort of wafer which she had discovered
at grocer's. Equally innocent-look-
ing was the music rool which a de-
mure girl balanced carefully across
her knees, but the view through it was
obstructed midway by brown paper
parcel discovered only as she rose to
leave the car. Several girls carried
fancy silk or leather hand bags, which
they guarded carefully from being
crushed when the car became crowded.
A young stenographer declares that
some of the chatelaine bags are just
the right rize to slip couple of sand
wiches into. "But the most truly de-
ceptiye lunch box know Of" she add
ed, "belongs to a girl whose brother
is camera fiend. She has an empty
camera box with the lens removed.
To all outside appearance it is truly
camera as ever it was. She is the
envy of all the girls who know the

Imminent for Home Use.

A liniment that is simple to make,
but is very efficacious in results, is
composed of kerosene, camphor gum
and sweet oil. Put pint of kerosene
into quart bottle, add as much cam
phor gum as will dissolve, adding lit
tie more gum day by day for three
days; then add half pint of sweet oil,
shake thoroughly, cork well, and put in
safe place for future use. For burns,
cuts, bruises, stiff neck or joints, sore
throat, bunions and few other ills to
which flesh IS heir. -slief Is said to be
almost magical when this liniment Is
applied.

A Self-Denying Clergyman.
From the London Chronicle


Father Dolling, who celebrated his fftv-
first birthday last Monday, yesterday de-
livered one of his unconventional addresses
on Rich and Poor for the Christian So
cial Union. at the Church Of st. Ethel
burga, Bishopsgate. Throughout his cleri-
cal career he has taken poverty for his
bride; and the story goes that when he first
was asked to call upon the bishop of Win
chester with reference to cure" he had
to pawn his watch to pay his expenses
When at st. Agatha's, Landport, Ports
mouth. he made absolutely no difference
between his own way of life and that of
the lads who, having sought nights shell
ter in the free hammocks fitted up by him
in the gymnasium, sat down for a meal at
his own board. He, too, was night super
intendent, for his bedroom was simply par
titioned of from the gallery. His condi-
lions of life are similar in his Poplar par
1sh, and many a fashionable audience in
West End drawing rooms has shuddered
as yesterday. at his descriptions of the
conditions Of many in his parish, where
10000 human beings, all poor, are huddled
together on fOrtyfour acres.

CAPITOL CHANGES.
Noticed by Visitor After Long Abb

"a gentleman who has not visited Wash
ington in number Of years told me the
other day that there was something about
the Capitol building which he appeared to
miss; that the Dig structure did not look
familiar in some matter of detail which he
could not explain said an old member of
the Capitol police force.
After series OF questions I succeeded
in locating that part, or rather parts, Of the
building which he said were missing He
referred to the two old-fashioned, circular
skylights which for SO many years thanked
either side of the dome, one over the small
rotunda on the north side, and the other
over the old House of Representatives
chamber, or statuary hall, on the east side.
These were recently removed. and the
skyline of the Capitol leveled or modified
accordingly. The difference is at once no.
tIceable upon ones attention being called
to the parts of the Capitol that are miss
Ing. They We're a. the cylindrical form OF
skylight cupola OF old colonial days to be
seen on state houses and court houses. and
they broke the sky line between the north
and south wings of the building very per-
ceptibly.
1T is my understanding that they are
not to be restored in their original form /.
is my belief that fat, modern skylights will
take their place, and the only reminder the
people of this and after generations will
have of these historic bits of the Capitol
will exist in photographs of the building
made prior to their disappearance.
Another portion of the Capitol, or rather
its immediate surroundings, which the gen.
tleman found missing was the big heap
oe rubbish piled up on the west side of the
building. In its place are the white marble
steps and terraces of the west front with
the statue of Chief Justice Marsha H. in the
foreground. Visitors who have not been in
Washington for ten years at once remark
upon the change. familiar enough to our
residents OF today.
The west steps cost under 50 600 600 and
this fact reminds me of how the big build
Ing has been put together bit by bit as 1t
were. The far-fa-ned terraces around the
building, from the west side, of which such
beautiful view of Washington and it's
environs may be had, were not built at one
time as would appear to the eyes of those
who see them now. A portion of the north
terrace was first tuilt. then the south ter
lace. then a jump back to the completion
Of the north terrace. and finally, the west
terrace. completing the now famous prom
enade upon which visitors love to stroll"

100000 Bottles of Champagne.
From Beverages.

beverages
When the car was on his recent visit to
France he had the felicity Of riding nine
miles between two stacks of champagne
bottles six feet high. This experience fell
to his majesty in the vaults OF Pommery
and Greno. Each gallery in the vaults is
marked with a name. The names are those
Of the greatest towns in the world, and
there are hundreds of galleries, for the
vaults contain 100000 bottles of cham
payne, some Of them nearly 100 feet down
in the bowels Of the earth. The vaults oc-
cupy 1870 acres and are built in an old chalk
quarry outside Of Rheims, near the Church
Of St, Remi. There are $50 hands en-
ployed down in the vaults, of whom some
fifty are women, whose work consists for
the most part in labelling the bottles and
twisting the wires for the corks Each
hand employed quaffs tumblerful of
Pommery before descending into the cold,
electrically lighted vaults, where the work
is done. and also reserves two bottles of
good red vine per day, SO that 1t is not al
together bad game.

"waiter, Fourteen Hundred

From Living London.
1t IL popularity supposed that any stran-
ger who may by chance elude the vigilance
Of the London stock exchange doorkeep-

What happens Is that any member observ-

of the intruder, informs him that the place
is private, and requests that he will ac-
company him to the door. The origin of
the cry fourteen hundred Is lost in OBJ

the members numbered 1899, and with
their usual witty grasp Of such facts they
named the next stranger the even century.

Dread of the "Foreign Devil"
m the North China Herald.

From the North China Herald.
A high premium seems to be placed upon
the foreigners power in the Chinese courts,
at least in a certain county in eastern
Shantung. A certain man had a lawsuit
which seems to have gone against him in
spite OF all ordinary measures. He sud-
denly left for Chefoo. but soon returned
and announced to his adversary that he
had bought a foreign title. To prove the
genuineness OF his claim In official rank he
donned a suit Of foreign clothes and -four
ished cane. This was enough. The OPP
posing parties sued for peace and gave up
the case.

The discovery of America by the Morse

of adventure and love. 1t is strong and
vivid, demanding unhagging attention and
presenting a rapidly moving series Of dra-
matte and picturesque scenes The richness
of the life of the wealthy and powerful
mobiles of Scandinavia and Greenland is
conspicuously developed, the brutality of
the period is demonstrated with almost
shocking force and the fervor of the early
Christians of northern Europe is indicated

to the story as it develops in Europe and

the more subtle part of the novel develops
Yet this is an unusual story, well told and,
incidentally, illustrated with more than the
