A Calm Young Woman.

A young woman of Brooklyn, sus-
pected Of a cruel murder, amazes all
who see her by her remarkable calm
ness. She was calm when arrested,
she was calm when the prison doors
closed upon her, she was calm when
confronted by the evidence. In fact,
the girl is rarely mentioned without
some reference to her calmness. II
may be an exhibition of wonderful
nerve, or it may be the outward mani
~festation Of innocence. Anyway, she
is calm.
This will remind old-time readers
OF the Orpheus c. Kerr letters that in
fatuated flremen who fell in love with
a wax figure in q h~airdresser's win
dow. 1t wasn't her pink-and-w white
beauty alone that drew him, o her
lovely garments. 1t vast her calm
ness that quickened his heartbeats.
She's SO cam" he murmured, SO
very cam" And when he rescued her
at the risk Of his life from a fierce
cOnfagration his first words when re-
stored to consciousness were:
Wasn't it beautiful to see her q
standin' there SO ca'm?"-Cleveland

Germany's Economic Methods.

The Countess Aida Won Krockow
writes from Germany to the Christian
Register: Germans find that it pays
to encourage peasants to free their
fields of stones; the property rises in
Withdrawing value. The stones
thrown iato heaps by the roadside ara
purchased by the district road repair
ing commission. Poor men. who
otherwise would have to be supported
by the almshouses, are hired to break
these stones, and then are trained 10
the work OF repairing the roadbed.
The money to pay the men is made by
au%ctioneering off to the highest bid
der the crop of the fruit trees that
were planted on both sides of the
highway when 1t was built, and which
are nourished we'll by the manure
that falls along the road and is push-
ed at intervals by a road tender upon
their roots. The purchaser OF the
crop sees to it that his fruit is not
stolen. The road commissioners have
no bother about that. And, although
the sale be by auction, It brings in
considerable. Every burgher knows
how much, because the sales of high
way fruit crops are published in tina
local newspapers

They had been travelling about to-
gether ever since the awful burglary,
with its attendant deaths OF the bur-
glar and his victim, Neville Howard.
OF the events which had Immediately
followed, Janetta, PROSTATE in mind
and body, knew little or nothing; and
the moment it was possible to move
her, Doctor Drake had suggested that
she should be sent abroad with a
nurse.
Il shall take her." Clarice had said.
Il will have a serviceable maid: but
Janetta will need some one she knows
abou her If she is to get we'll"
Your" the Doctor had exclaimed,
half incredulously. Are you equal
to the task?"
i am equal to anything that will
make Janetta WELL" Clarice had re-
piled. And the Doctor went on his
way, greatly wondering.
After all Clarice's Improvement in
health was only the fulfllment of his
W prediction. The shock which bade
fair to wreck Janetta's life, or deprive
her OF reason. had helped her friend
TO the better exercise of both. The
need for exertion had come, and in her
devotion to Janetta, Clarice had laid
aside her own weakness.
So the two started off on their trav.
els together, and by slow degrees ia
META began to rally from the awful
mental shock she had undergone; and
Clarice. in her loving care and watch
fulness. had cast aside the last traces
OF invalidism, and had grown as pref
ty and animated as in the days before
her accident.
TO hear Janetta laugh was sufficient
reward for an hours amusing chatter,
and the first day she could walk a
mile the fact had to be duly chron-
icled in a long letter to Doctor Drake,
who, from time to time. came out to
see how his patient prospered.
Happily these days were passed, and
Clarice, as she watched Janetta's beau
tiful face this afternoon, thought that
her task was completed. Janetta was
really as well and strong as ever
again, only there was that touch of
pathos about the curves of the mouth
that told the tale of some great sor-
row. Janetta turned, conscious that
she was watched. and smiled at her
companion.
What are you thinking of, dear?"
THAT you are as beautiful as ever,
that at last even / think you quite
welEwell enough to go home, Janet
ia. We've wandered about so many
months that I'm homesick. and I be-
lieve T should welcome the sight OF
Mrs. Mortimer's grim but worthy coun-
tenance."
Let us CO." Janetta answered, after
a moments pause. II have often
thought that l should like to hear ey-
cry detail of the night of the burglary,
| wonder If you would tell me about
1t now as we sit here?"
Clarice glanced up quickly. By Doc
tor brakes advice. everything that
was painful had been kept away from
Janetta.

QUEER FANcIEs IN FOOD.

Odd Dishes Ths Are Placed Before
Guests ut Fashionable Functions.
Odd food fancfes are met at nearly
every house. I know a hostess who
uses rock candy for sweetening in her
afternoon tea and maraschino cherries
for flavor, one to each cup. Nobody
else brews such delicious tea, her
friends declare, and they never seem
to understand why. The rock candy
comes in neat packages Of crystal.
which are dipped up by an antique SUI
gar spoon. Another young hostess
made a speciality of cake and beverages
IN which she could serve whipped
cream. She was under salary from ths
proprietors of f1avoring extracts.
which they were continually booming,
and was supplied with the material.
which she demonstrated in her re-
freshments every afternoon. She was
a popular girl and had instituted a tea
hour before she became an advertising
agent. She was devoted to cooking.
and therein lay her value to her en-
ployers. She began with vanilla, made
cakes favored with it, and put it in
her tea. 1t adds a most fascinating
flavor to the favorite feminine beyer-
age. Then she added chocolate to her
tea outfit and used whipped cream.
The next day she changed to lemon
favoring, then to almond and orange
and created such a degree Of interest
through her afternoons that questions
began to be poured over her. There
was her chance to speak a good word
for thu makers Of the ~flavors, and she
used it in such a clever way that their
popularity was established without
anybody suspecting her interest in it.
You can readily see how valuable an
assistant she was.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Coconino Sun: Range cattle have begun to move north to the green pastures of Oklahoma and Kansas to be fattened. It is estimated that nearly two hundred thousand head will be carried by the Santa Fe alone, which beats any previous record. Since the lst of April three thousand cars filled with long horns and short horns have been hauled from Texas points via the Purcell gateway, and as many more car loads are on the way. Two thou sand carloads will come from the Pecos valley and Panhandle dis tricts, and five hundred from New Mexico. This great movement IS being handled with ease owing to the extensive equipment available. It is noteworthy exodus and an improvement with respect to time and cost over the old way of driving on the hoof, but not spectacular. The cowboy temporarily takes a back seat and the trainhand is king for few days. The cattle will not be ready for the market until next autumn.

Columbus, O., Jan. 23.-In response
to an inquiry from the prosecuting at
torney of Summit county, Attorney
General Sheets ruled yesterday, that
the property of secret societies in this
state is not exempt from taxation. The
inquiry arose in regard to the Masonic
Temple at Akron.
A law was passed blythe last General
Assembly exempting the property Of
secert societies, but Mr.. Sheets de-
clares it is unconstitutional ON the
ground that the courts have held that
such societies are not institutions of
purely public charity, within the mean
ing of the constitution. The ground
taken Is that such societies not being
open to the entire public, can not be
regarded as institutions of purely pub
lie charity.

Halle Rives.

New York, Jan. 23.--All the princi-
pal parties in the Oakes divorce case
the tall, distinguished looking respon-
dent; the handsome Cuban tenor,
Senor Del Sol named as correspondent,
and the millionaire husband-gather-
ed in Justice Traux's court, ready to
take up the second hearing of Mr..
Oakes' suit against his wife. The
case was set over, however, until a
later day in the week, owing to the
press of other causes.
Both sides have been working in
dustriously since the first trial, and
there will be new witnesses, 1t is said,
and decided strengthening of both
cases. Much of the former testimony
of course, will be repeated for the ben
eft of the new jury, but an especial
effort will be made to prove or disprove
the story Of the kiss on the pier.
Around this alleged incident win
hinge much of the important testi-
mony. Two witnesses say that Mrs.
Oakes was kissed fondly by the hand
some tenor when she met him on the
landing pier in Liverpool. Another
witness denied that any such demon
stration marked their greeting. Both
sides will concentrate their forces on
this phase Of the case.
Mrs. Oakes, meanwhile. is living
quietly at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
while Senor Del Sol chafes irritably
in the Audubon, longing for the day
which will set him free from his obli-
gatons as witness and permit him
to return to the family plantation at
La Caterina, near Colon. in Cuba.
Miss Halle Erminie Rives, who is
depended upon to clear up the mys-
terry of the kiss on the pier, as she
landed. with Mrs. Oakes, will be ready
when the case Is called.

LADIES AT DINNER.
From the Position OF Carver to tho
Principal Seat.

From the Position OF Carver TO the
Principal Seat.
The presence of ladies at dinner was
brought about by necessity more than
by the gallantry due to their sex.
Servers and henchmen were superseded
by lady carvers, who worked at side
table. In Elizabethan times at private
dinners 1t became usual to place the
principal joints and grand pieces at
the upper end Of the table, above the
salt. so the chief guests could see the
joiGts and secure choice helpings. We
have something Of this kind in the hab-
1t which prevails at restaurants of first
showing the game, poultry, ETC., to the
diners before carving. The place which
came to the fair sex from necessity was
soon claimed by them as their right,
and they passed from the menial posi-
ton of carver to the occupiers of the
principal seat. The lady had helpers
who deemed 1t an honor to serve her
in their turn.
In this duty OF semiprofessional carv-
er lies one Of the first causes of the
paper frilis Tor legs or mutton, ETC., for
it was used in every case where the op-
orator had to grasp some tangible part
of the joint with the left hand. In 1853
grand dame suggested that 1t would
appear more comely and decent to use
a fork" this in spite of existing pref
udice.
1t was at this time, too. that travellers
from Holland introduced into England
the fashion Of seating men and women
alternately. the adoption Of which put
an end to lady carvers. Then the au-
thor Of "The Cooks Oracle suggested
that Joints and large birds should be
carved before they came to table, thus
starting the now prevailing fashion of
carving at the side table.
