That we might leave sons behinds us,

She that's trim may be fat one,

This is not a new method, but is one
which tickles the fancy and palate, and
there may be many who have not tried
these dainty, tasty tid-bits. For each
oyster have a very, very thin, narrow
slice of smoked breakfast bacon, neatly
trimmed. Rinse and drain the oysters
and wrap each oyster Cor place two to-
gether if smalD in a strip of bacon;
fasten securely with small wooden
skewer (toothpicl) SO the oyster cannot
slip out in frying; dip each roll in beaten
egg, then cover lightly with white corn
meal and fry a delicate brown, using a
little Of the bacon fat to start them
with. The bacon must be sliced as thin
as possible so it will brown quickly and
the oysters not be overlooked and
tough. Serve with quarters Of lemon
and celery. g.

KAIsER,s BANpLESs BALL.

That went on Without the

When a noble and brilliant gather

Of rank and fashion had taken up the

minUet, when the kaiser and kaiserin
arrived and entered the neighboring
apartment. Then the signal was given
for the dance, but Il ELECTED no re-
spouse. On inquiry 1t was found that
the band Of the Guards, which SHOULD
have been on the spot, had not ar
rived. Some one ran to the telephone,
called up the band director, and
learned that he had been mistakenly
ordered to come on the following day.
On learning that he was wanted at
once, he dispatched express messen-
gers for his musicians and drove over
himself in a cab, taking with him the
fiddle which he had formerly received
as a present from the emperor. Inc
dance in the palace now began to the
strains of a solitary violin; somewhat
later on the trombone arrived, but
found he could not well chime in with
the fiddler, but the futist was soon
on the scene, and by the time the
minuet was over two-thirds Of the or
chestra were in their places. The en-
presses gavotte was danced to the

The business education Of shop

them. At the end Of the season, If
any particular department is not a

THE TELEGRAPH HABIT.

Many men have the telegraphing
habit, as others have the telephoning
habit. They send "a wire" with and
without provOcatiOn. Even where time
is not an object, and letter would do
much more good, they call for blank
and scratch of 20 or 40 words, saws the
New York Press. There is a young
lawyer here whose career has been
greatly accelerated by judicious en-
plOyment Of the telegraph. In some
way he always manages to receive two
or three messages wherever he hap
pens to be-in a hotel, theater, muse
um- church, opera house or Jail. When
he crosses the ocean next month on
big liner he will have half a dozen
mareOnigraphs a day by wireless. He
Is confident Of the success Of keeping
himself in the public eye, no matter
what the cost. One Sunday he re-
ceived a message in church, and, qui-
city rising to his fullest stature to
give the congregation opportunity to
view him, he stalked out satisfied that
he had made an indelible impression.

HOW ANIMALS ACT AT FIRES.
Not All OF Them show Fear, Although
the Majority Do Not Like
Flames.

Most animals are afraid Of fire and
will fly from il in terror. To others
there is a fascination about a flame
and they will walk into it even though
tortured by the heat, says the Chicago
Chronicle. Some firemen were talking
the other day about the conduct Of ami
mails during a fire. A horse in a burn
ing stable, they agreed, was wild with
fear, but a dog was as cool in fire as
at any other time. A dog, they said,
keeps his nose down to the floor, where
the air is purest, and sets himself calm
" to finding his way out. Cats in fires
howl piteously. They hide their faces
from the light and crouch in corners.
When their rescuer lifts them they
are as a rule quite docile and subdued,
never biting or scratching. Birds seem
to be hypnotized by fire and keep per
fectly still; even the loquacious parrot
in a fire has nothing 20 say. Cows, like
dogs, do not show alarm. They are
easy to lead forth and often find their
way out of themselves. Rodents seem
never to have any difficulty in escaping
from fires. The men said that in all
their experience they had never come

CHURCH GETS WINNINGS.
Poker Game Played By PHILADELPHIA
Men OF wealth Benefits Re
IIEIOus Cause.

There are five men of wealth and
prominence closely identified with a
certain uptown church who met once
q week to play poker. All aremen well
along in years and all have never lost
their love for the great American game
Of draw. They realize, says the Phila-
delphia Record, that it would be incOm-
patible with their positions as pillars
of the church to gamble, and yet they
play a ascent limit game for sreal
money. There is Just this difference:
The winners turn over to the treasurer
all the money that they have won from
the losers and every six months this
fund is expended on some deserving
charity. In that way, while the player
who is really ahead of thegame doesn't
really profit, yet he isn't losing any
thing. and the loser has the satisfac-
ton of knowing that his money is go
ing to a good cause. The element Of
chance is not eliminated; each man
plays his best, there are four hours of
excitement and the players do not feel
that they are beating the devil about
the bush.

An indication of the raPidity with
which the country west Of the Missis-
sippi is being reclaimed and settled Is
TO be seen in the project Of the cattle
men Of Dakota and Montana to trans
fer their business and their herds bodi-
ly TO South America. The great ranges
of the northwest are being cut up into
small farms and the area Of public
grass land is diminishing rapidly. The
eattlemen are looking for ranges in
Chilli. Brazil and the Argentine, and
If they cannot find large unbroken
areas Of grass land in those countries,
or are unable to make satisfactory
terms, they intend to try Africa.
