THREATENS SUICIDE.

Yesterday morning early Mr.. Livingston
and a friend had a drink together. Liv-
iDgston proposed that they have another,
but his friend refused, whereupon Liv-
ireston remarked, You had better take
one more with me, as it will be the last
drink I shall ever take
Mr. Cormack stated yesterday that he
noticed that Livingston had been more
quiet and reserved during the last two or
three days than usual, but he never sus-
pected that anything was wrong.
On the desk in his office was found a
note signed by Livingston and addressed
to Warren Baker as follows:
THE keys are on the desk. Tell Joe
Stapleton TO take charge of the ware
house. Good bye. JAKE.
Break the sad news to my poor wife
and family.
Mr.. Livingston has held his position for
eight years and at one time he was as
sistant storekeeper at the custom house
His accounts were always correct and are
at present.
Livingston resided with his family at
736 Oak street. He leaves a wife and two
children, a son 21 years of age and
daughter, 10 years of age.

QUICKLY DRIVES AWAY.

Baker says he saw the driver board his
wagon Immediately after and drive away.
Baker was Bunable to tell the driver s
name, as hsis employed at another ware
house.
About twenty minutes after the driver
left Baker heard three shots fired In rap
i'd succession. Baker rushed down the
stairs and into the front office. Upon the
lounge in one corner of the room lay Liv-
ingston, with 3S-caliber revolver clasped
tightly in his right hand. He was gasp

bulance, but upon it's arrival it was found
that Livingston was dead. The Morgue
authorities were then notified and the
body was removed.
The fact that Livingston had contem-
plated suicide for some time is establish
ed by remarks he had made to friends.
Several days ago, while in his office, he
made the remark before some of the en-
ployes to the effect that his insurance
papers were all right in case anything

If Sahara Were q Sea.
From London Answers.

French engineers have declared it IL per-
fectly feasible to convert the desert OF
Sahara into vast lake, thus opening to
commerce great regions of the interior Of
Africa. which can now only be reached
by long, tedious and dangerous caravan
journeys. They say that large portion
of the desert lies below the level OF the
Atlantic and that by digging a canal to
let in the waters of the ocean the great
change could be effected easily and at q
cost which would be small compared to
the benefits which would accrue.
II the whole desert lay below the level
of the Atlantic the flooding of II would
create a sea more tim four times as big
as the Mediterranean; but az the Sahara
is composed of elevated plateaus. noun
tain ranges and depressions. only a part
would be covered with water when the
waves of the ocean were let in, and tho
new sea thus formed would be an irregus
lar body of water. probably of about the
same size as the Mediterranean. Great
commercial cities would at once spring
up on Its shores and trade and civilisa.
ton strike at once to the heart of Africa.
The sea of Sahara may never become q
reality, but, in any event. 1t 10 . gigantic
and pleasing dream.

IF you cook well you will waste MOTH
ing, madame observed.
Careless Domestic
This led me to say that l thought waste
for its own sake was an English charac-
teristic, and that an English domestic
servant was not unlikely to regard her
mistress as mean if she interfered 10
prevent waste. But il did not appear that
the French mistress would allow waste
or that the French servant would daspise
her on that account. Both the ladies'
agreed to this view, madame saying that
the German housewife was like the French
one in not recognizing waste. She then
said that French wives had so many ways
OF cooking food that meals We're not al
ways the same. as was commonly the case
in England
Eggs, for instance" said the young
lady, with a laugh. How many WAYS
have We of cooking eggs, L wonder? L
don't know, but L should say scores"
Madame suggested that it would be a
good thing to employ French women TO
teach the English working women to
cook. | thought the idea was not a bad
one IN Itself. but again ventured the opin-
ion that there was an incurable tendency
to wastefulness in the English character
At the same time | pointed out what was
being done in connection with the school
system to teach girls to cook.
NJ. Degremont had by this time arrived
and he introduced the element of climate
as one having an important bearing on
the subject. If he sid, you are liv-
ing in a cold country ii is not necessary
to be clever cook, because the cold air
gives you an appetite; but where the sun
is very hot you lose your appetite and
then the dishes have to be made more
appetiZing. / remember this very well in
connection with my studies in the south
of France. In the more northerly coun-
tries the cold, fresh all is n good aperitif.
explain in that way the difference be-
tween the cooking in France and in Eng
land. Here you nave meat as the founda-
ton, and potatoes and other vegetables
accessories. In France II is necessary
to prepare other dishes differently. The
town of Uzes has a character for its cook
cry, and ii is commonly said of it:
Uzes VILE de bonnie chere
Gu yivent cent traiteurs.
The explanation is that Uzes is very hot
and that the people there require good
restaurants"
NJ. Degremont expressed regret that the
employment of married women often made
1t impossible for them to have their homes
clean and attractive or their husbands
meals properly prepared. and he feared
that this state of things. wherever II ex-
listed, would lead to drinking. Madame
deplored the increase of drinking In France,
and summed up the evil in one word
"abSfnthe.'

The Tired Shah.
From. Leslie's Weekly.

The Shah of Persia, who received some
months ago from his English friend the
Order of the Garter. is said to have the
most tired appearance of any OF the reign
ing sovereigns. His eyes are wearied by
the sight Of every luxury. During his visit
to England all the statuary was removed
from Marlborough House out of regard
for his siseeptibiiities. but he showed small
interest in his surroundings One toy did

sixty odd wives, as compared with the

Mrs. Catherine Booth had the mind of a
statesman, seeing things largely and clearly,
and with exact judgment and great power
of organization and direction. In this, too,
Mrs. Booth-Tucker resembled her mother,
and it is well known that after her moth
els death her father leaned more on her
advice than upon that of any other person.
And there was no one else so fitted as she
to command the Salvation Army of the
World. Her great powers were associated

and sympathized with the sorrows and
tried to supply the needs of not only the
SalvatiOnists but of all who came near her.
Her love was like the love of God. Even in
the supreme crisis Of the Salvation Army in
America, when she came with her husband
to take command after. the former COM
manders had tried to destroy it, she allowed
no word of just indignation. much less re-
sentiment, either from herself or any other
Salvationist. She was like Christ who,
when He was reviled. reviled not again. but
committed Himself to Him who judgeth
righteously. And doubtless this Christlike
course confeunded the enemies of the Sal
walton Army. and gave it it's new power
and prosperity
Following the address of the Commits
sioner Mr.. Robert L. Fletcher, the singing
evangelist, sang Climbing up the Golden

were written by the dead consul. and the
music was composed by her husband. Mr.
