THEFTS IN PALACES.
Quantities of Valuables Taken Each
Year from the Drawing-ROOms
of Europe.

Quantities of ornaments are lost
each year at the drawing-rooms or
courts at Buckingham palace, and only
very small proportion is recovered,
says London report.
A very strange story is still told
about diamond necklace which was
found at one of the state balls some
years ago. 1t happened that one of
the queens ladies in waiting picked up
diamond necklace from the floor.
AS she stood with it in her hand a lady
came quickly forward and claimed it.
The finder was very firm, however,
and declared it was her duty to give it
in to the lord chamberlain's office, as
this was the rule with regard to any
thing found in the palace. The lady
protested in vain; but the oldest thing
was that the necklace never was
claimed and is probably still at the lord
chamberlain's office.
The fact that it was quite common
sight to see ladies stuffing their hand
kerchiefs with sweets and cakes from
the supper tables at the court balls
| may be regarded as an amiab BILE foible
of doting parents; but, according to
some, lace handkerchiefs and Jewels
are waited away in this fashion, and
sometimes fur stoles and lovely opera
cloaks have been secured as spoil,
1t used to be a saying in India at the
big viceregal balls that the first de-
parture was sure of the best Rampore
chuddah.
These beautiful white shawls are al
ways more or less the same size, but
the difference in price is enormous; as
the finest kind, voluminous as they
seem, can easily be passed through a
ring. and are consequently very costly,
while the coarse ones are proportion
ately cheap.

BAKED APPLE DUMPLlNGS.

Peel and core as many apples
AS your appetite may wish
Six or eight-perhaps a dozen
That would be a generous dish.
Make a dough like cracker biscuit,
Roll it thin-with skill and care;
Place an apple lightly on it
Take your knife and cut it SQUARE
Large enough to fold your fruit in
Then within the vacant place
OF the core, bit of butter
Cinnamon and sugar place.
Draw your square up well together,
Pinch it gently on the top,
So your dough will be protected,
Lest the cooking juices pop.
When your apples are all covered,
Take a fork and prick them through
Twill prove better in the baking
Half dozen times will do.
Bake them slowly, and, while cooking,
Take of sugar just cup,
And modest lump of butter
And with light hand cream them up,
Adding extract and your hard sauce
Set on ice to harden more;
Life your apples from the oven,
And your labors will be DER.
Serve them hottie sauce adds flavor,
And each dumping, firm and brown,
Is practical achievement
Adds a jewel to your crown.

THE KING ALWAYS RIGHT.
Some One Else, of Course, to Blame
when Things Didn't Go
just Right.

Having summoned the royal treasur-
er into his presence, one afternoon, the
king took his arm, and walked with him
into the garden, relates the Boston
Globe, and said:
Murphy, the people are complaining
of high taxes 1 hear"
There are many complaints, o, sire"
"They say am recklessly extrava-
CANT with the public funds"
at is so said, your majesty"
81 am charged with melting useless
wars, am not?'
SIT seems to me have heard 500
I'm fact, my people are ready to re-
Eel against me for cause, and if can
not make satisfactory explanations I
may be dethroned. That's about the
situation, / take it?"
Something like that, o, ruler, but
let us hope it will not go as far as that"
81 don't mean to let it," said the
king. Murphy, you understand,
don't you, that a. king can do no
wrong?"
81 have so read, your majesty"
TITS always some one else who is to
blame, you understands"
IL think So"
''In this case, for instance, AS soon
as my people are informed that you adj
vised all these extravagances shall be
acquitted of all blame"
"And the people will howl for my life,
o ruler" walled Murphy.
THAT'S where the joke will come in,
old man. They will howl in vain
because you will be dead. Kindly step
into the brick building down there
and ask my executioner to make
/ you head shorter and not bungle the
job. Good-by, Murphy. Sorry to part
with you, but I've got o hang to my job
and satisfy the people"

RULES FOR VISITORS.
Guests at House Parties Have Ger
tain Obligations Which should
Not BE Neglected.

Do not stay too long. 1t is much
to break into the life of any family,
even for a few days. Pay no atten-
tion to urgings to stay longer, how
ever sincere they seem. Set time
to go when you arrive, and stick. to
it.
Conform absolutely to the house
hold arrangements, especially as to
times of rising, going to meals, and
retiring. Be ready in ample time for
all drives or other excursions.
Carry with you all needed toilet
supplies, that you may not be obliged
to mortify your host by pointing out
possible deficiencies in the guest
room, such as clothes brush-the
article most commonly lacking.
Enter heartily into all their plans
for entertaining you, but make it
plain that you do not care to be en-
tertained all the time, or to have
every minute filled with amusement.
Be ready to suggest little plans for
pleasure when you see your host at
loss to entertain you. Try how
well you can entertain him for a
change. Turn about is fair play in
visiting, as well as in everything
else.
Be pleased with all things.
If you ever were brisk and spright-
ly, be so now.
Your high spirits and evident en-,
joyment are the only thanks your
host wants.
Take some work with you, SO thai
when your host has to work you
may keep him in countenance by
working also. More good times are
to be had over work than over play
anyway.
Do not argue, or discuss, debatable
matters. Few things leave worse
taste in the mouth.
Offer to pay the little incidental ex
penses that will be caused now anc
then by your visit; but merely offel
do not insist upon it, which would
be very rude.-Woman's Life.

DETAILS IN LAUNDRY WORK.
a Number of Suggestions Which May
BE New to the Amateur
HOusekeeper.

In no department of the household
does economy of time and labor count
for more than in laundry work; there
fore, here, of all places, there should
lie attention to proper QUILTING. That
is, all utensils concerned Herewith
should be strong and good, and if ma
chinery is used, it should be of the best
quality, with few complications, says
the New York Tribune.
For the ironing fats are always best
for ordinary use or for laces when gas
irons are too clumsy. The latter are
more expensive, and there is extra
charge for fitting, but the number re-
quired is less. There is charcoal
iron, which is clean, and when once
heated will remain in condition for at
least two hours without renewal; but
it is very heavy and needs to be sup
plemented by the small flats.
Care of the irons is important. They
should be kept in dry place, SO that
they will not become rusty. If they
arenot going to be used for a long time,
they ought to be creased all over, and
wrapped in brown paper.
Where much ironing is to be done, it
is good idea to have an ironing stove
with ledge to hold the iron bottoms
upright to the heat. Such stove once
heated with wood may be kept up with
coke, which is much cheaper. But
unless much ironing is to be done, a
small gas stand is less expensive, and
when gas or charcoal irons are used
no stove is necessary.
A strong, steady surface is a necessity
of the table, and the height is of such
Importance as only one who has ironed
can realize. To have to bend the back
in ironing is harmful to the ironer, but
if the table is too high, then the iron
ing suffers, for it is impossible to use
sufficient pressure. To have just the
right height the table should be spe-
clally made, or else some ingenious
woman must invent a table which can
be regulated. The table must also stand
in good light, and for the covering
there should be atI2ast two thicknesses
of blanket. The so-called "charity''
blankets are good for this, because they
are hard. The ironing sheet should
have tapes at each corner to tie it to
the table, and seams or patches should
be avoided.
Iron holders may be made of several
folds of blanket, with cotton cover,
and if piece of kid (the palm of an
old glove) is laid between two of them,
it will do much to protect the hand
from the heat.
The ironig cloth and all the other fix
ings should always be put away at once
after they have been used. The cloth
should never be allowed to get wet,
for fear of mildew; the boiler should
be wiped DRIP. Even the clothesline
should be cared for, and the clothes
pins washed once in awhile.
Among other details worth follow
ing it is well to keep large supply of
soap, for 1t improves with keeping,
and does not waste so much as fresh
soap. That, and the bluing, as we'll,
should be kept in some dry place, and
in laying in stores, soda, borax and
ammonia are needful for amateur
laundresses, in whose hands the strong
washing powders ought not to be
| trusted.

GENUINE EGG SHAMPOO.
A Formula for Making a Preparation
That Is Absolutely Reliable and
Sure to Please.

Many of the compounds called egg
shampoos contain no eggs. They are
generally stiff soap paste, made up
in substantially this fashion: Take
four ounces of transparent soap, half
an ounce of carbonate of potash, six
ounces of water and two of glycerine.
The soap should be coarsely powdered
and mixed with water in which the
carbonate of potash has already been
dissolved. Heating over fire hastens
the melting of the soap. The glycer-
inc should be mixed in last of all. If
the composition is too firm on cooling,
little water may be added. A sam
pie may be tested for this purpose
before the whole batch has cooled
Perfume may be introduced, if it be
wanted.
For genuine egg shampoo the fol-
lowing formula is recommended by
the New York Tribune:
Three fresh eggs, half an ounce of
spirit of soap, 100 grains of carbonate
of potash, $50 minims of ammonia wa
ter, two drops of rose oil, the same
amount of bergamot oil, one drop of
geranium oil, one of oil of bitter
almonds, and ~ ounces of rosewater.
The eggs should be well whipped and
mixed with the rosewater. The am
monia water, carbonate of potash and
spirit of soap having first been COM
bined, they may be added to the other
fluid. The whole having been well
stirred, the perfumes may be added.
The volume of the latter will be so
small that another vigorous stirring
is essential to their thorough incor-
poration.

ARE CLOSELY LINKED.

Life Partners.

A governors wife of practical pur-
poses and whose character presents
many unusual features in Belle Case
La Toilette, matron of the executive
mansion of the state of Wisconsin.
She is AZ years old, of the same age as
her husband, and her life has been
linked with his, both in the practice
of law and in his official and political
career, in manner most unique. She
became acquainted with Robert M. La
Toilette, the present governor, while
the two were students in the college of
letters and science of the University
of Wisconsin at Madison back in the
later seventies. They graduated to-
gether from the collegiate department
in 1879 and that same year each took
high honors in oratory. Miss Case won

the Lewis prize for the best Grafton
in a contest of eloquence and her flu
ture husband won the final oratorical
contest of the university and later in
the spring won in the intercollegiate
contest. Miss Case graduated from
the law department of the university
two years later, attending the school
part of the time with Mr.. La Toilette.
They were married shortly after this
and practiced law together, Bob" do
ing the active work before the bar and
Belle" doing important service in
briefing and consultation.
Mrs. La Toilette is the founder of
the Madison branch of the Emily Bish-
OPP league, woman's club of which
physical culture and dress reform are
the purposes. She devotes a share of
her time to this work. She is not over
active socially, gives few elaborate
functions and goes to parties and balls
only in formal way, as the wife of the
governor.

Delaware fruit growers are of the
opinion that the peach crop has
been injured to the extent of more
than so per cent. Pears are dam
aged, but this will not work serious
injury to the fruit growers, since
they already have too prolific yields
of pears to properly handle and
market them. Some of the large
growers think the freeze cannot be
set down as misfortune to the
pear crop but that it was a serious
misfortune to peaches and some of
the small early fruits.
