hot Time" as Funeral Hymn.

The solemn exercises ut the funeral
OF MIR. Black, wealthy B-ooklyuite,
were marred by most untoward oc-
currence. He was man of fads, but
the one consuming fad of his exis-
tence was for musical Instruments
not the ordinary piano and organ, but
mechanical devices whereby harmon
les were sounded by unseen forces.
For instance, as one entered the house
some secret connection with the door
started the fattering strains Of "Hail
to the Chief" to the accompaniment
OF which the astonished guest was
ushered into the reception room.
Clocks of every sort sounded fitting
music to the passing hours; in short,
every piece Of furniture seemed in
some wey 20 be connected With hid
den orchestra.
MIR. Blacks death was untimely; q
hand organ, with new and wonderful
combination of every orchestral in stru-
ment that blares, suddenly began a
concert in front of his house. In his
eagerness to examine this new mu sical
marvel Mr.. Black tripped and fell
down the long staircase and his life
paid the penalty Of this final pur suit
Of his idol.
Before the funeral extreme care was
taken to silence all the harmonies of
the house. For two days the servants
labored diligently disconnecting wires
and removing offending furniture. At
last they rested from their labors and
the last sad hour arrived. The exer-
cises were conducted in the house,
and as the minister was concluding
h'o psnegyric on the departed belat-
ed mourner entered and was shown to
the one empty seat, chair in an OBJ
scure corner. Silently the late conner
tiptoed to the chair and quietly sank
into its depths.
Instantly there pealed forth loud
chord and then without interruption
came the loud, strident notes of
"There'll be hot time in the old
town tonight" All efforts to silence
the music were futile. In notes that
drowned the minister's voice and were
plainly audible for blocks the music
continued and not until the last strain
had died away was the minister able
to conclude his remarks.-New York
Tribune.

Washington as a Housekeeper.

Mount Vernon is good type of the
residences of the wealthy Virginians
of the last century. The ample re-
ceptlon rooms, parlors and dining
rooms on the frst floor, and the eight
bedrooms above attest the generous
hospitality of its proprietor. To the
furnishing Of this mansion Washing
ton gave careful attention. Much Of
the furniture he ordered himself
through his London agent, to whom
he wrote careful directions TO get
everything Every neat and fasLiopa-
ble.' The following, written to his
friend, Richard Washington, 10 Lon
don, at time when he was preparing
Mount Vernon as home for his fu-
ture bride, we'll illustrates the capacity
for minute attention to details which
was SO characteristic of Washington's
genius. He says: "Be pleased, over
and above what have wrote for in
letter Of the 18th of April, to send me
l dozen strong chairs, of about Is
shlIliDgs apiece, the bottoms to be ex-
actly different colors to suit the paper
of three of the bed chambers, also
wrote for in my last must acuuaint
you sir, with the reason of this re-
quest. have one dozen chairs that
were made in the country; neat, but
weak for common sitting I therefore
propose to take the bottoms out of
those and put them into these not or
dered, while the bottoms you send
will do for the former, and furnish
the chambers. For this reason the
.workmen must be very exact, neither
making the bottoms larger nor smaller
than the dimen IONS, otherwise the
change can't be made. Be kind enough
to give directions that these chairs,
equally with the others and the tables,
be carefully packed and slowed.
Without this caution they arc liable
to infinite damage.
Washington must be credited, too,
with very good taste. Mount Vernon
contained some Of the finest products
of the Chippendale establishment.
After the death Of its illnstrious
owner, much Of the fnrni'nrA ~ Mount
Vernon wss removed aud scattered to
different parts Of the country. Many
pieces have been lost in this way, and
the identity Of others is difficult to
ascertain. To the ladies of the Mount
Vernon Association, Americans owe
debt of gratitude for having collect
ed many of these piec g. at great labor
and expense, and for having restored
them to their accustomed places in
Washington's home.-FEcm the Fur
niture Of Our Forefathers, in Pilgrim

lie Forgot His Wife.

He registered from New Orleans and
spent week at big hotel on the lake
front. Most of the time he was busy
about business matters and had little
leisure to devote to recreation. He
worked until late at night and was up
again early in the morning.
Finally, on Saturday evening he
came rushing into the hotel Office and
asked what time the next train left for
the South. He was told it left at 7.3O
o'clock. It was then 6 o'clock.
"All right" he answered, excitedly.
I've got to catch it. You can send a
bite to eat up to our room and get our
baggage as soon as possible. Let me
have my bill"
He was told that dinner would be
sent upstairs in ten minutes and that
the baggage would be taken care Of at
once. Also that his bill would be
ready when he came down.
He took the elevator and presently
caught a few bites to eat. Then he
supcrintended the removal of the bag
gage from the room, including his
wife big trunks. That done he hur
ricd down to the hotel Office to write a
few letters and send telegram or two.
lie was still busy debating when a
porter approached and told him that
it lacked only fifteen minutes to train
time and that his carriage was waiting.
He rushed out and got into the car
riagc, which Immediately started south
for the 18th street station at rapid
rate. The carriage had gone several
blocks when the single passenger
opened the door, leaned out and began
to yell at the driver to stop.
whats she matter, sir?' asked
the driver. "We have to time to
spare. Have you forgotten any
thiug?"
Forgotten anything?" cried the
passenger. II should think I had.
I've forgotten my wife. Drive back
to the hotel
1t cost the man from New Orleans
several dollars to keep the story from
getting out until after he left for the
South. He explained to his wife, who
was half distracted at his absence,
that he had been called out Of the
hotel on business, and that they would
wait until Sunday evening before TAX
ing the train.--Chicago Tribune.

Use of Salt and Pepper.

Salt and pepper, as generally known,
are of value in bringing out the flavor
OF the food to which they are added.
That they have any value from a
health standpoint is not SO generally
recognized. You may know that q
lump Of salt is good for horse, but
you do not stop to consider how i'm
portant salt is for your own we'll
being. In eastern countries the con-
diments, such as pepper, are used to
profusion in all foods. Gastric trou-
bles common in other countries are
conspicuously absent, and the free
use of pepper has much to d. with
the fact. When the stomach is out
OF order, as the commonsaying is, it
is in state of fermentation.
A certain very wise physician who
has advanced to the point where drugs
seem the unmportant thing and COM
mon sense the important in making
the sick well, is advocating the use Of
pepper and salt even in a glass Of
milk. 1t improves the flavor to re-
markablc degree, q fact you can prove
to your own satisfaction by taking
two glasses Of mlk-one in it's original
simplicity, the other changed by the
addition of a pinch Of salt and a dash
OF pepper; then sira little Of each.
The chances are that you will prefer
the seasoned milk. Besides improv-
ing the flavor and overcoming the
tendency towards fermentation, the
pepper will practically disable any
microbes that may be floating in the
fluids, thus the gastric juices will per-
form their perfect work of changing
microbes to food.
One Of the best remedies for dis.
turbed digestion is hot water to which
has been added salt and paprika. If
taken full hour and half before
breakfast, cupful Of this very pala-
table drink will completely cleanse the
stomach and leave it in good condi-
ton. Out Of 100 persons selected at
random it is no exaggeration to say
that 80 eat too much, and also that
these same 80 fail Of proper masti-
cation. Weakened digestions are,
of course, the distinct result of over
eating and insufficient mastication,
and weakened digestion means under
mined systems. At the extremes of
life, youth and old age, it is wisdom
to make the diet much the same. A
child's nourishment should be very
simple; so in old age it should grow
palmer and palmer. Chicago Tri-
bune.

COOKING VEGETABLES.
How to Avoid Mistakes which Very
Frequently Render Them AbsO-
lutely Tasteless.

A great many cook-books order all
fresh vegetables to be placed in an
abundance of boiling water and
cooked slowly for considerable
time. Many vegetables are ruined
by being cooked in this way. Po-
tatoes, asparagus, peas and cauli-
flower should be boiled in a small
amount of water and cooked steadily
but slowly. Overlooking will make
all of these vegetables tasteless. Do
not salt any of them until they are
half done.
Young summer cabbage should be
cooked in an abundance of boiling
water. When it has cooked for IS
minutes take it up and cool it in
cold water. 1t may then be chopped
and dressed, allowing cup Of
cream, tablespoonful of -four mixed
with two tablespoonfuls of -four,
salt and pepper Let the chopped
cabbage simmer in this cream sauce
for three-quartcrs of an hour An
other way to cook cabbage is to
blanch as described. Take out the
heart with a scoop, stuff the cab
bage with sausage meat, lay it in a
saucepan with a buttered paper over
it, and let it cook one hour, bast-
ing it often with its own juices.
The best way to cook bcets is in
cold water. Wash them well, being
careful not to puncture them or
break off the tips. Put in a sauce
pan, cover with water. add hand
ful of salt and two tablespoonfuls
of vinegar. Let them boil rapidly
for an hour and ten minutes. If cid
btets, cook an hour longer. Lift one
by one into cold water peel and re"
turn to the water in which they were
boiled, if they are to be cooled.
Carrots should be scraped and
washed, cut in slices half an inch
thick and cook in salted water for
so minutes. Serve in cream sauce.
String beans should be boiled slow
ly for two hours.--N Y. Tribune.

uuent washingS in cold water. Con-
stant worry and prolonged grief
hasten gray hairs. The Use of curl
ingirons, long kept up, also hastcnS
the ravagcs of time. Many persons
make the sad mistake of using prep
arations for softcning the hair con
tanning oils or greasy substances.
This is a great error, as they only
obstruct the pores, preventing its
growth, the oils gathering every par
ticle Of dust, thereby clogging the
pores of the scalp. Too frequent
shampooing the hair or washing it
with soap and water is very dcstruc-
tive. Soap, if often used, changes the
color and tends TO fade it, although
ordinary yellow kitchen soap keeps
blonde hair from having the usual
dingy appearance. A fine way to
remove dust or oil from the hair is
TO dissolve a small quantity of white
soap in spirits Of wine, rinsing well
with tepid water. The hair should
always be perfectly dried and well
brushed. flaming thoroughly sep
