~ ANUARY is the month of
" M linens. Just why this is
VNE so I know not, but so it
IN ~ is. 1t has come TO be an
accepted fact that in every
city and town where spe-
eial sales are known the linens are
sure to make their appearance with
each recurring January, and the
thrifty housewife, ever careful of the
appearance of her table and bed lin
ems, watch the papers for the an
nouncements of these linen sales.
There are styles in linens quite as
much as there are styles in gowns
and coats and hats. The styles
change with the changing year, and
while it may not be that each house
wife finds it possible to purchase
new linens with each change in style,
yet she is usually anxious that what
she buys shall be the correct thing
at the time it is bought. Such is the
excuse, if any is needed, for writing
of the fashions in table linens at the
present time.

Peru's History.

The shortest history on record
probably has been written by Senor
Carlos Escribans. a Peruvian. It IS
only 100 words in length. Follow
ing is the English translation
SsFhe Asiatic origin of the prim-
tive Peruvians admitted, their rudi-
mentary civilization ended with the
appearance of Nance Capae, found
er of the inca empire. His thirteen
successors, continuing his policy,
constituted that vast theocratic and
communistlc monarchy which as
tonished the world. Conquered by
Pizarro (1538). it became a Spanish
colony. whose fourteen vicerovs
kept it in medieval darkness and
whose heavy yoke provoked the in
dependence proclaimed by San Mar
tin (182D, cemented by Bolivar and
Sucre at Junin and Ayacucho. The
republic established, anarchy super
vened, presidents rapidly succeeded,
until the disastrous war with Chile.

Boiling Water.

1t may seem presumptuous to
suggest that few people know how
to boil water, but such is the case
The boiling point under ordinary
atmospheric pressure (sea leveD IS
212 degrees t. This point changes
according to the altitude When
bubbles form on the bottom of the
kettle, come clear to the surface and
rupture quietly, without making an
ebullition, we have simmering. At
this point the thermometer should
register $50 degrees F., and it is at
this temperature that. we cook
meats and make soups. When the
bubbles begin to form on the sides
and surface of the vessel and come
toward the top of the water, there
is motion in the water, but it has
not really reached the boiling point.
It is only when the thermometer
reaches 212 degrees F. and the wa
ter is in rapid motion that it can
be said to boil, and the atmospheric
gases still continue to be given off
with the steam for a considerable
time after the water has commenced
to boil rapidly. In fact, it is diff
cult to determine when the last
traces have been expelled. 1t is
safe to suppose, however, that ten
minutes boiling will free the water
from its gases, make it tasteless and
render it unfit for the making Of
tea, coffee or other light infusions
of delicate materials.-Mrs. S. T..

Curious Smoking Contests.

In Rhenish Westphalia a singular
custom prevails. At stated inter-
walls the veteran smokers in each
district assemble in large public
hall and compete for prizes, which
are awarded to those among them
who can smoke the longest.
Each competitor is provided wit D
a long pipe which has colossal
bowl. Exactly the same quantity
of tobacco is put into each bowl,
and after this operation is perform
ed matches are lit and at a given
signal the contest begins. Each
competitor is allowed as much to-
bacco as he can consume, andsthe
prize is awarded to the one who
continues smoking after all the 9th
ers have stopped.
In order to guard against suffoca-
ton all the windows in the hall are
opened, yet even then the smoke is
generally so dense that persons who
are not used to tobacco are unable
to endure it. Indeed, at a recent
contest the smoke issued from the
open windows in such volume that
the local FIRE brigade thought the
building was on fire and promptly
deluged. it and. the unsuspeeting
smokers with water.

His Protest.

The. following story is told of a
certain actor who was fat and scant
of breath: He was a bad actor as
well as fat one, and the gallery
guyed him a little while he went
through his part in military
drama. He kept his temper fairly
well until toward the close OF the
last act, when he had to be shot
dead. His supposed corpse was
stretched out on the stage, but did
what no respectable corpse is ex-
pected to dot painted.
Said one irreverent galleryite to
another on the opposite side of the
house, Il say, Bill, look how his
bellows blows
Thereupon the wrathful corpse
sat up and. with angry looks, re-
piled, Respect the dead"

EXCITEMENT AT BRONSON.

Excitement still runs high at Bron-
son over the double murder of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lewis last Friday night. SAINT
Wilkerson. a white man. was arrested
near his home Saturday evening, TAX
en- to Bronson, and confined in jail on
suspicion of being implicated in the
dastardly crime. Wilkerson had been
hunting cattle with the murdered man
prior to the murder, and when young
Lewis rushed to his fathers home and
found his parents dead on the floor the
trusty dog of the dead man, which had
feen driving cattle with his master
and Wilkerson, Immediately took the
trail leading to the latter's house, but
was called off by Lewis. When Sheriff
Sutton placed the bloodhounds on the
trail they also went to Wilkerson's
house, but the man was not at home.
He was captured in the woods near his
residence Saturday evening and lodged
in the county Jail. Large crowds gath
cred in town all day Sunday. and by
right about two hundred determined
men were there and many feared that
Wilkerson would be lynched. 1t was
decided that the evidence was not suf-
ficient to warrant such action. Joe
Martin, another white suspect, was
taken to Bronson from Newberry by
Deputy Sheriff C. w. Livingston and
lodged in Jail.

H. B. Boyer,
Local Forecast Omcial,


Ell Diario" of Buenos Ayres,
publishes some interesting figures
relative to the military forces which
the Republics of Argentine and Chilli
could have put in line If their recent
disputes had to be settled by the power
of arms. instead of being referred to
the arbitration of King Edward VII.
The permanent army of Argentina
comprises, in the present year. e.gh-
teen battalions. and that of Chilli. ..
Argentina has twelve regiments of
cavalry, eight regiments of artillery,
and eight companies of military en-
gineers, while Chill counts seven cav
airy and five artillery regiments, with
four companies of engineers. On a
war footing, the Argentina army of
the first line would be double that of
Chill; and as in both countries tie re-
serves are in proportion to the | opu-
lation, those of Chilli would ne exhaust
ed quicker than those of Argentina.
There are, indeed, 100000 inhabitants
in Chill. against 5000, 900 in Argentina.
The effective force of the CHILEAN
army in case of general mobilization
would be 10000 men. and that of Ar
gentina, 100000. 1t is to be noted also
that in the latter country the increase
of population is going on from foreign
emigration, while There is a decrease
in Chilli.

New York, Sept. 3.-The market to-
DAY was highly irregular and excited
on large volume of business. There
appeared to be heavy profit-taking in
some directions while in others there
was renewed and confident buving
Efforts were made at times to check
the advance tendency. but except for
some hesitation which followed the
early reports as to the accident to the
PRESIDENTS party in the Berkshire
nils, the fluctuations through the day
were only the reflection of natural
real1zations. The keynote to the spec-
ulatlon was given by Reading Railway
issues. which again advanced with al
most Violence. The movement i'm the
stock was regarded as emphasizing the
completion of an Eastern trunk line
zeal. This view was confirmed, in the
opinion OF many persons in the street
by late remarkable outburst of
strength In Pennsylvania and New
YORK Central. Some specialties show
ed good gains at times. Louisville
and Nashville and Southern Railway
were somewhat reactionary, but MI
nois Central rose sharply. North Amer
lean rose Z per cent. on reports that
the stock had been closely concentrat-
ed IN expectation of important favor
able developments. In the late deal
INKS, Peoples Gas was active and 2
per cent higher. Colorado Fuel and
Iron were higher. the former scoring a
large gain. Nirginia-Carollna Chem
teal and some specialties were strong.
