COOKING HINTS.

Don't salt cucumbers or eggplant
before cooking. 1t makes them indi-
gestible and unpalatable
Avoid peeiing rhubarb when it is
young and tender, for it only needs
wiping with damp cloth before using
A piece of tough meat can be very
nicely stewed in double boiler. 1t
will take twice as long, however, as if
cooked directly over the fire.
Fish which contain few bones may
be converted into fillets by dividing
the flesh from the backbone in long,
wide strips and then removing any
smaller bones. Soles supply the best
fillets.
Crusts and crumbs of bread left over
from the table should be dried, put
aside for rolling and dipping or to be
used in scalloped dishes or mixed with
a few sliced apples and baked and
served rs dinner dessert
To prevent sausages bursting when
cooking put them into saucepan, COW
er them with cold water and bring
this to Il boil, after which take them
out and fry them in the usual way.
This, it is said, will not only prevent
the sausages from bursting, but will
improve their flavor.

Nine. Sembrich's Voice.

Nine. Sembrich's voice is one of the
purest and most beautiful that the
world has ever heard. Its compass is
from the G below the treble cef to the
+ above it, two octaves and half. Her
mastery of the art of song is perfect
and her execution of all the ornaments
of the old Italian school flawless. But
above and beyond these accomplish,
ments stand her poetic temperament
and her complete musicianship. Her
treatment of the expressive powers Of
music is beyond all praise.
She has palatial home in Dresden,
where she lives when not working
with her devoted husband, Wilhelm
Stengel, who once taught her piano
playing and slapped her hands when
she made mistakes. There is not a
happier couple in the world than these
two. and every one who knows them
loves them.-Pilgrim.

Polished Furniture.

Highly polished tables and chairs
have a way of developing spots of
white, especially where Il hot dish has
stood or where hot water has been
spilled. Equal parts OF linseed oil and
alcohol rubbed on such a spot will
usually make it vanish. Another plan
is to cover such a spot with baking
soda; then hold a heated latiron close
down over the soda, not near enough,
however, to injure the varnsh. After
n little take the iron away and brush off
the soda. In most cases the spot will
be gone. Camphor is another good all
around agent for restoring varnish and
when rubbed over blistered or whiten-
ed spots will bring back much of the
original luster.

CHASING A GHOST.
Yhe Way Whale Hunters Arc Some
times Fooled by "SpOutfng."

While the right whale is not so large
nor so vicious as the sperm whale, the
danger Of hunting it is greater. In
company with a fleet of ships, also
bound for the arctic whaling grounds,
says a writer in a contemporary, we
sailed from San Francisco in Febru-
airy, and early in April we encountered
the edge of the ice in Boring sea. The
whales live far in the ice, and thither
we went to find them. Occasionally a
mother seal with one or two pups
would dispute our way. She would
not fly because of the little ones, hold
ing her ground quietly, with fear in
her eyes, while the pups parked vigor-
ouSly at our presumption in disturbing
them.
We had been icing for more than a
week when we reached Cape Navarin,
on the Siberian coast, bleak, noun
famous, dreary place. The next morn
ing we saw another ship coming to-
ward us, the dense black smoke from
her try works showing she had recent
ly caught whale. In the afternoon
we pushed on beyond the cape, and
the lookout was cautioned to be extra
vigilant. From his place in the crows
nest he secured the sea with a long
glass, and presently there came the
welcome cry, 'Blo-o-o-w off the lee
bowr'
Every man strained his eyes. On the
edge of the ice some two miles away
was the familiar spout. The wind had
died away until there was not ripple
on the sea. Boats were lowered, sails
set and everything made ready. We
drifted about helplessly. Every man
knew that to place an oar or paddle in
the water would 'gally' the whale,
for the big animals have marvellous
ly acute sense of hearing, and the min
ute there is an unusual sound they dis
appear
One boat drifted in the direction of
the Spouting, which continued with
clocklike regularity. Presently the
sail of that boat was dropped, and the
men rowed back to the ship. We had
been chasing a ghost" The spouting
was caused by water squirting through
a hole in the ice with each heavy
swell.

There are in England several coal
and metaliferous mines which extend
and are worked at considerable dis
tance out to sea. but perhaps the most
remarkable submarine coal mine is
that at Nanaimo, on Departure bay,
beyond Victoria. B. G. This mine is
known as the Wellington, and its gal
leries are situated 600 feet below the
surface of the ocean, which here in
closes an archipelago of islands very
similar to the Thousand islands at the
head of the st. Lawrence river. The
galleries of this pit, which are contin-
iually developing, extend at present a
length of six miles under the bottom of
the waters of the Pacific ocean.

SECONDHAND SMOKES,
Selling Cigar Stubs Is n Lucrative
Business In Naples.

Buying and selling cigar stubs Is a
large and lucrative business in the
city of Naples, and many persons are
engaged in 1t. Some of them have
little stalls or shops near the docks.
the arsenals and the manufacturing
establishments where workingmen are
in the habit of passing to and from
their tasks. Others, with less capital,
have little stands at street corners. a
board laid across Il saw horse. upon
which their stock in trade is displayed,
while the petty dealers in this line OF
business exhibit their stock in little
piles upon the sidewalk, sometimes
not even a newspaper being under
them.
The supply comes from the cafes,
restaurants, hotels and other public
places. Men and women pick over the
garbage heaps and the dust boxes. and
boys run up and down the pavements
in front of the hotels early every morn
ing looking for "snipes." Some of the
restaurant and cafe keepers sell the
IiiNiiNSN vi IlChluS up the clSdr
stumps in their places to dealers, and
the proceeds amount to a considerable
sum during the year. In other places
it is one of the perquisites of the head
waiter.
Some of the stubs are taken to fac
tories, where they are cut up and man.
ufactured into cigarettes and smoking
tobacco, but the greater part of them
are sold to the lower classes of work
ingmen, sailors and dock wallpapers,
who smoke them in their pipes. At
the entrance of the navy yard which
is upon one of the most freQuented
streets in Naples and in very con-
spicuouS place, half q dozen of these
secondhand cigar dealers can be found
when the men are coming out of the
gates ut the close of their days work.
The employees are not allowed to
smoke inside. and their wages do not
permit them to indulge in the luxury
of cigars or even smoking tobacco at
first hand, so, for a centissimo, which
is the smallest coin imaginable-one-
fifth of l cent-they buy a cigar stub.

GRANT AND OCHILTREE,
The Grievance the President Had
Against the Colonel.

Against the Colonel.
After the war;" said veteran of
ficeholder, "a warm friendship sprang
up between General Grant and Colonel
Tom Ochiltree although they had
fought on opposite sides. When Grant
appointed large number of people
who had been under him to federal
offices. he also appointed Ochiltree.
Tom had been under him in a sense.
Tom was made United States marshal
in Texas.
'Well, you know. in those days Tom
took very deep interest in the ponies
and was Il sort of patron saint of rae
ing in the new southwest. He was so
much admired by horsemen generally
that it became quite the thing for own
ers to name their horses after him. At
one time there were not less than q
dozen horses running at various tracks
under the name of Tom Ochiltree.
Everything went lovely until Tom
came up to Washington, several months
after assuming his new duties. In the
course of his visit he called at the
White House for conference with
the president. After talking generali-
ties for awhile Tom noticed that the
president seemed to have something on
his mind-didn't appear to be as frank
and cordial as usual. He finally asked
General Grant what the trouble was,
limiting that the chief executive might
not be satisfied with the manner in
which the marshaPs office was being
conducted

Old Time Foods.

An old writer comments in the fol
lowing quaint manner on the superior
ity of English food over that of the
poor people in France; "They ate no
bread that beans in were, but of cock
ct or clermatyn or else of clean wheat
me no piece of bacon, but if it be
fresh flesh; other, fish fried. other,
bake"
But, for all that, the impossibility Oh
obtaining fresh fish daily forced the
ordinary layman to fall back upon the
sailed article, and the consumption of
badly sailed fish has since been point
ed out as one of the chief causes of the
medieval scourge Of eprosy.-London
