are as lamps in which the light has gone out.
 Life as it Is lived by the rich, fashiona- ble. women, is destructive, not only to them, but to the children who have the misfortune to be born to them. They turn night into day, their stomachs into veri- table pails of costly swill, they renounce the habits that lead to health and adopt the ex xctements and 6issipations that are fatal to health and beauty. Centuries of experience record their history. They breed puny race that fades away in time.
 Let all young girls remember that beauty is the gift of health, and health can be cultivated. A nation of healthy and beautiful women assures a generation of naundsome, healthy and vigorous sons. Beauty should lead to motherhood and motherhood s the crown of woman's s happiness.

Hints for the Home.
BY MRS. E. G. STEVENS.


 The average housewife is at a loss for tempting dishes at this season. Chickens are still high and scarce, and with meat at its present high rrice @ good many vegetable dishes can easily be substituted for the morning meal as well as luncheon

 Take centers from green peppers. Make a force meat of finely chopped chicken and bread crumbs; season with little chopped pepper, onion, parsley and salt; add a lump of butter stuff peppers and bake until brown and serve with tomato sauce.
 Bits of CuIlnery Wisdom. To have the roast beef brown on the outside and juicy and rare within, 1t should be put in a very hot oven at first then reducing the heat.
 In roasting meat or frying steak, turn with spoon; a fork pierces the meat letting out the juice.
 Pouring the thickening in while the pan is over the fire Is apt to make the gravy lumpy Remove the pan until the thick enng is well stirred in then return to fire and cook.

THREE ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE.
John P. Cassidy, a Musician, Believed
to Be Mentally Unbalanced.

John p. Cassidy, a musician, thirty-one
years old, was brought here last evening
from the Maryland house of correction near
Jessups, suffering from cuts and bruises
and a general shaking up. His injuries
were received the line of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad tracks near the Maryland
prison in three successive attempts at sui
eide he had made. Upon his arrival here
the injured man was taken to the Emer-
gency Hospital for an examination and
treatment. The surgeons reported that no
bones had been broken.
Mrs. Cassidy, mother of the unfortunate
man, was notified at her home No. 10
Princeton street northwest, of the affair,
and she went. with her daughter, to the
hospital. Before Cassidy made the three
Intellectual attempts at self-destruction his
case was reported to Sanitary Officer
Frank. This officer had the matter under
investigation yesterday, and had Cassidy
not gone away when he did the surgeons
would have examined him and passed upon
his mental condition.
Cassidy was a bugler in the United States
Marine Corps, and was injured about his
head while he was in the service. During
recent months he has suffered from me-
lancholia and has been unable to do much
work. He left here for the purpose of
seeking employment in Baltimore. Persons
who were working in the fields at the prison
saw the man throw himself in front of a
fast-moVing express train. He was knocked
to one side by the train and but slightly
bruised. He repeated the attempt when he
saw freight train approaching. His sec
ond effort was also unsuccessful, and he
then jumped from railroad bridge. He
dropped In shallow water and was unhurt,
except that his ankles were slightly in
jured. This afternoon the physicians will
report upon his case, and he may be sent
over to the asylum.

An Interesting Table of Comparisons
Il have arranged the facts l have gath
cred into tabular form. The table i
worthy of careful perusal and preservation
for future reference. 1t is as follows

In the different cities there are various
grades of privates. In New York. for In
stance, there are four grades ranging i'll
pay from $500 to $14O0. an ordinary pri-
vate in the first grade receiving in the
metropolis 5000 a year more than our as
sistant chiefs, almost twice as much as
our own privates. and within $500 of the
pay of the chief of the Washington de-
partment.
IN cities of approximate population with
Washington, such as Milwaukee, San Fran
cisco, Detroit, Buffalo and Cincinnati, the
fire chiefs and assistant chiefs are paid
from a third to twice as much as the same
officials here, while Atlanta, Ga with a
population not half as large as this city,
the chief receives twice the pay of our
chief. and the assistant $500 a year more
than our assistant chief.
The discrepancy as regards privates and
shows equally to the advantage of other
cities and to the disadvantage of our own
The drivers and the firemen of engines in
Washington are paid $500 year while in
most of the other cities these men are pa id
an increase in proportion to that paid to
the privates. The table shows that the
Baltimore and Washington fire departments
can join hands on the proposition of under
pay, and why Baltimore should pay its fire
department. looking after a city of over
half million In population. such a low
proportfonate rate 1 cannot explain.
AS regards the apparatus of the differ
ent departments, Washington remains Al
the bottom of the list with the exception of
Atlanta, as the following table will show:

Comparison in Apparatus.

1T will be seen from the above table that
in the already mentioned cities of approxi-
mate population to Washington the number
Of apparatus greatly exceeds those of
Washington. even Louisville having three
more steamers than we have, and MilWau-
kee six. with two additional trucks and four
chemical engines. Milwaukee and Washing
ton are not very distant in point of popu-
lation, yet the city on the lake has nowhere
near the class of public buildings. does not
approach the capital. in fact that we have
yet her fire department is almost a good
third larger than ours.
What there is of our fire department.
however, is tried and true, has the conf
dence Of the people. and makes up In c1l-
cheney what it lacks in number and appa-
ratuS.
With the great public buildings in this
city upon every hand, and more being added
every year, to say nothing Of the many
large private structures and office buildings
going up and in occupation. Congress will
in the near future be forced to action and
raise the standard of our department in
point of number of men and apparatus on
par with the Importance of the territory
they have TO guard"

FIRE DEPARTM EN- T
SOME OF ITS NEEDS POINTED
OUT.
Comparison of Salaries Paid in Other
Cities With Those Earned Here
More Machines Wanted.

Now that Congress has replaced three of
our old fire steamers with three new, extra
first-ciass, high-grade engines, which will
district those of us who take an interest in
our fire department trust that the next
step Will be the raising of our underpaid
force 10 a level at least approa ching that
of other large cities. said a local insurance
man this morning to a Star reporter
Il had occasion to go into the question
of the compensation received by the differ
ent fire departments of some of our leading
cities. and l regret to say that we are at
the bottom of the list. Congress would not
appear to have taken into consideration
that our fire department protects govern
ment property as well as that of our resi-
dent citizens. as the pay our men receive is
entirely inadequate for the work and the
responsibility which rests upon them.
Il believe that the true Tea son for congress
slOnal inactiOn as regards our fire depart
ment lies in the fact that as yet they have
not been called upon to act in the case of
big fire in one of our executive depart
ments. When one of these buildings burns
down congressional interest will be so
aroused that the fire department will get
its just dues. In this unfortunate event
Congress cannot claim that either our de-
partment or our citizens have failed to call
the attention of Congress to its plain duty.
We have done so many, many times but
yet Intellectually.
