sPRINKLING SINGAPORE.
The Solemn Procession That Accom-
panies the Watering Cart.

Poultney Bigelow in his description
of the marvellous progress made by the
city of Singapore under English rule
gave quaint picture of the manner in
which the streets are watered:
The watering cart was drawn by lit.
tie white bullocks and driven by Ma
lays with turbans. 1t seemed to take
five Malays to do this driving. One
roasted aloft on top of the barrel for
the purpose Of controlling the outgo Of
water He seemed very proud of his
appointment. Another native in big
turban roasted on the pole and con-
trolled the little cattle
Then there was man in thin brown
legs and much turban who walked SOL
EMMY behind enjoying a footbath. He
was obviously government function
airy, although his exact sphere of use
fulness | could not discover. He ap-
peared to be something in the nature
of rear guard.
Then there was ''foreloper," or adj
vance guard, for the purpose of clear
Ing the way. There appeared to be an
idea that the little bullocks might sud-
denly go mad and rush ahead. AT any
rate, it gave congenial employment to
one more native, and that was some
thing.
There was yet another, who bent
down now and then to pick up piece
of stone or brush away some irregular
ity unseen by ordinary eyes.
This outfit was treat to me. 1t was
solemn; it was full of self conscious
ness; it was magnificently oriental.
l have seen men in sublime moments;
have seen the red capped station mas
ter of Germany strut up and down his
platform when an imperial train was
about to arrive, but even that Impress
ed me less than the watering cart of
Singapore, with its municipal hierarchy
of Malay ministers, each earning per-
haps 2 cents day.

COOKING FISH IN ENGLAND.
The Method Used There Renders the
Flesh Flaky and Juicy.

John Bull certainly knows how to
cook fish, to prove which fact one has
only to notice the juiciness and good
flavor of the first bit of fish, served
perhaps at little out of the way inn,
that one tastes in England. We Amer
leans have at command many fine va
rieties of fish, but too often find it sent
to table in "woclly," tasteless condi-
ton.
An American cousin visiting in an
English family made bold to ask what
method of cooking "sea food" was
prevalent in England and found that
there the Importance Of the thorough
cooking of fish as safeguard against
ptomaines is as much regarded as with
us. Our old country friends, however,
assure us that there is not the slight
est occasion to render fish dry and
tasteless in order to insure thorough
cooking If proper attention is given to
basting. One cannot well imagine any
thing hotter than boiling fat, and Law
Ing plentifully with this is to make use
of the surest ammunition possible for
the routing of deadly bacteria.
Instead of warning amateurs against
underdone fish, let copious basting with
sweet boiling fat be insisted on, and in
place of a woolly, flavorless result
there will be the opposite-flakiness
and juiciness. Overlooking will pro-
duce woolliness as surely as everything
or baking. To insure tender, solid
fakes in, for instance, boiled cod or
halibut and to avoid disspating the
flavor make sure the water boils when
the fish is put in; keep at gentle
boil; allow only ten minutes to the
pound and tie carefully in cheesecloth
that has been washed and boiled be-
fore using. Cod well basted with hot
olive oil or any good fat will be almost
gamy in flavor, as will cod steaks
cooked in deep fat.-Washington Star.

How Messenger Boys Are Utilized as
AMakencrs In New York.
Atl o'clock the other morning well
dressed man strolled into one of the
uptown messenger offices. He had been
dining out and evidently, from the rak-
ish tilt to his opera hat, the dinner had
been success.
II want a messenger boy to come and
waken me in the morning.
What hour?" The clerk was all
business, for the request was not I'M
usual.
"Seven o'clock. I've got to catch a
train," he explained.
"All right sir; O'clock" assured the
clerk
The man turned as he was going out
of the door. "Have the boy hammer
the door hard" he cautioned. "I'm a
dead one when get to sleep, and I've
got to catch that train" Then he Went
home and went to sleep with absolute
confidence.
The whistles were blowing o'clock.
A small boy in uniform hammered
with club, his "wakener," on the
door of the man who had dined the
night before. "Get up i'll tnere..- ne
cried. Get up, you old sleepyhead!'
"You go away from my door," comes
in sleepy tones from the room. ITS 2
mistake. l don't want to get up"
"Oh, yes, you do, my dodo Bird" is
the fresh reply. And the tattoo on the
door goes on with redoubled strength.
Cali right. boy; I'm awake. now!'

Rev. w. A. Sunday and party
were given grand ovation when
they left here last night on the late
train for Chicago. The tabernacle
was full for the last service and a
large number of the audience, at
least thousand, accompanied him
to the train. The depot platform
was jammed and it was almost inn
possible for the express and bag
gage men to move their trucks.
While the train waited the crowd
joined in singing, and even after it
left large number followed to the
coal chute to give parting cheer.

An April Fool.

When Uncle Robert got his mail
That First-of-April morning
(Now, absent-minded people all,
Just read and take warning)
Among the business bills and slips,
And cards of invitation,
And friendly notes, he found at last
One queer communication.
1t took but little time to read
A moment but to con it:
The two words, April Fool" were all
That could be found upon it.
Then Uncle Robert laughed and said:
I've heard of funny blunders
In superscription and address,
And many puzzling wonders.
And seen epistles left unsigned.
But this goes them all one better:
For here's a man who signed his name
And forgot to write the letter."

OLD IDEAS ABOUT GEMS.

Pearls Were Thought to BE Dew
drops Caught by the Shell.
The Indians called rock crystal an
''unripe diamond" and until the begin
ming of the eighteenth century India
was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone. 1t was
not, therefore. until the discovery of
India that the diamond was known to
us. Yet as far back as 500 B. G.
"didactic history" of precious stones
was written, and in Pliny's time the
supply must have been plentiful, as he
wrote, eve drink out Of a mass Of
gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed of emeralds." We are also told
that Nero aided his weak sight by
spectacles made of emeralds.
But is very difficult to determine
whence all the gems came, as discov-
erers took care to leave no record. The
nations who traded in them were
afraid of their whereabouts being
known, and even the most ancient mer-
chants would not disclose any definite
locale. All sorts of myths have ac-
