Suicide of PIotter.


Rome, Dec a11.-One Of the strang.
est of crimes had a most dramatic
solution during the day. A young
man named Beretta, a millionaire of
Milan and famous sportsman. was
invited by the Chevalier Angelo Vec-
chic, an organizer of sporting shows,
to his villa outside Of Milan on: the
pretext that Beretta examine some old
pictures. Once there Beretta was
seized and bound and obliged, with a
revolver pointed at his head, Ito make
a will leaving his fortune to Vecchio
besides writing letter saying he had
committed suicide. Vecchio then left
the villa. after instructing an accom-
plice to drown Beretta the next day in
a bath and carry the body far away
from the villa SO as to give Vecchio
chance to prove an alibi. But the
heart of Vecchio's accomplice softencd
and he set Beretta at liberty and Vec-
chic. who read in the newspapers that
his plot had been discovered, disap
peared.
The police thought he had gone to
America Later. however, it was
learned that Vecchio had committed
suicide by shooting while driving in

Boston, Dec. 11.-John Charlton,
member of the Canadian parliament,
delivered forceful address upon the
subject Of RECIPROCITY With Canada"
before the Boston chamber of com
merce.
Mr.. Charlton, who also is a member
of the United States and British joint
commission created in 1897 to deal
with the trade relations between the
countries, is by birth an American and
owns extensive lumber interests in
Michigan. He is considered as one Of
the foremost champions Of reciprocity
in Canada. The tenor of Mr. Charl-
tons address was that the United
States must grant more liberal tariff
provisions or Canadian tariff rates
would be eventually advanced. Abso-
lutte free trade between the two coun-
tries could not yet be attained, he
said, but the nearer it could be ap-
preached the better.
Mr.. Charlton discussed the objec
tions of the American farmer and
lumberman to Canadian reciprocity.
He claimed that their fear that their
business would be injured was a
groundless one.

GENUINE EGG SHAMPOO.
A Formula for Making n Preparation
That Ia 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,
a 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, $50 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.

RULES FOR VISITORS.
quests at House PARTIES Have Ger
tain Obligations Which Should
Not BE Neglected.

Do not stay too long. It is mucn
to break into the life of any family,
even for few days. Pay no atten-
ton 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 tIat 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 n
change. Turn about is fair play in
visiting, as well as in everything
else. F
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 that
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, deba table
matters. Few things leave a worse
taste in the mouth.
Offer to pay the little incidental ex-
penses that will be caused now and
then by your visit; but merely offer
do not insist upon it. which would
be very rude.-Woman's Life.
