Lucky Horseshoes.

Horseshoes which have been regard
ed for centuries as dispensers of good
luck, are being used for table deco
rations. When silvered or gilded, and
made to stand up with the addition of
little wire, they make a very good
frame for a menu. Every one knows,
of course, that the finding of a horse
shoe is, under certain circumstances.
supposed to be an augury of good for
tune, but probably few are familiar
with the origin of this belief. II was
all due to the action OF st. Dunstan,
the patron saint of farriers. Accord
ing TO the legend. st. Dunstan seized
the evil one with his red-hot pincers
and refused to release his prisoner
until Satan promised he would never
work mischief where horseshoe 10

where. These cold dishes are re-
markable for variety, delicacy and fla
vor. There are. to be sure, certain
things that q foreigner often finds 1t
hardly possible to arrive at familiar
eating terms with such as some of the
many kinds Of sausages cut into thin
slices and arranged so nicely on vari-
GUS plates. Some sorts Of cheese may
also prove too pecullar-though the
highly offensive varieties, like linn
burger, are really no more common
than are equally pungent grades upon
English, French and Italian tables.
Delicious salads are almost innum-
cradle In their variety. In some OF
these salads various sorts of picked
fish, like herring and anchovies, give
the distinctive character. Rhine wine
is the drink that consorts on most
favored terms with these cold dishes.
At dinner the Ash is customarily
served in boiysE form Trout are serv-
ed curled up with tail In mouth. Po-
tatoes are small as rule-rarely larg-

CARED as too coarse in flavor. These
little German potatoes are delicately
baked; a slight squeeze between the
fingers transfers the mealy contents to
the plate. The best potatoes in the
American markets are said to come
from Germany and large quantities
are annually imported.

Winter Rhubarb Profitable.

Winter rhubarb culture is one OF the
profitable crops grown by a former
banker. of Sumner. Wash. He has a
frame house costing about $40 that
brings an income of $500 during the
months Of January. February and
March. The rhubarb roots are taken
from the field and placed in the house
the first week in January. A small
stove supplies the required heat,
which is carried throughout the build
ing by a six-inch stove pipe. All
light is excluded. Within three weeks
from planting the rhubarb stalks are
ready for the market and sell for rs
cents a pound.

Value of a Hearty LAUGH.

Health. an English publication, says 4
''It is good to laugh. There Is prob.
ably not the remotest corner or little
inlet Of the minute blood vessels of
the body that does not feel some wave
let from the great convulsion produced
by hearty laughter shaking the CEN
trail man. The blood moves more rap
idly-probably its chemical. electric or
vital condition is distinctly modfSSSd,
It conveys a different impression to all
the organs of the body as It visits
them on that particular mystic jour
ney when the man is laughing from
what 1t does at other times. The
time may come when physicians shall
prescribe to torpid patient so many
peals Of laughter to be undergone at
such and such time"

The Herr Doctor Is at dinner, but
he will wish to see YOU" said the SER
want who answered the door-bell at
handsome Berlin dwelling, where, with
a compatriot, | called one evening. We
were shown into the reception room,
and in a moment our friend appeared
his name would be recognized the
world over as one very eminent In
science. Come right out into the
dining room!" he said cordially; we
are nearly through dinner-but why
did you not come earlier?"
Places we're made for us at the Ia
BILE and we we're welcomed by the
Frau Doctorin with a heartiness as
genuine as that OF her husband. AT
any rate you must join us In a cup
of coffee" she said. But first do try
bit of this sweet" And she handed
us a saucer OF something that looked
very tempting. Indeed, 1t was de-
licious; chestnuts, boiled and grated.
mixed with whipped cream.
We attempted to apologize for the
intrusion upon their dinner hour, but
were at once checked. There Is no
occasion for apology; you would be
supremely sagacious II you we're able
to keep run of the dinner hours OF all
your Berlin friends and regulate your
calls accordingly. We never attempt
Il ourselves; we are likely to find our
friends dining at any hour from in
the afternoon to 9 In the evening.
There is no such thing as a conven-
tional dinner hour in Berlin society"
That was really the case. Few peo-
pie are more unconventional than the
Germans; they simply consult family
or individual convenience In their So
cial arrangements. They do not allow
Mrs. Grundy to lay down arbitrary
rules to which everybody must con-
form or fall from grace. Business at
fairs may make an early dinner hour.
for instance, convenient for one fam
lily and late one convenient for
another. Public entertainments begin
very early, as a rule; usually at z
o'clock, and sometimes at $3.50.
Among the leisurely classes the dinner
hour Is likely to be arranged with
reference to that circumstance. In
some families the hour for dining Is
elastic, according to the program for
the day; today 1t may be at 4, on ac-
count of engagements for the even
ing; tomorrow dinner may be served
at o'clock.
There Is, of course, much social ele-
gance In a great capital like Berlin.
not only in the court circles, but
among the wealthy and intellectual
classes. There is far less formality,
however. than In England or France.
or in any of the eastern cities in the
United States. Full dress is the rule
for all ceremonial occasions, even II
1t takes place in the morning, and 1t is
expected at formal dinners. But 1t Is
rarely In evidence at public entertain
ments.
AS to the proprieties OF dress for
concerts, the opera and the theater.
the German idea is that people go for
the sake of enjoying the music or the
play, and not for the sake of display
ing their toilettes and looking each
other over. Hence full dress is held
to be out Of keeping with the spirit

Hurd, the Magician.

Hurd, the Magician.
 Hurd, the magician, exhibited a new line of high-class legsrdemain and modern magic in his initial perform ance at the Bijou theatre last night.
 The audience that witnessed the per- formance was enthusiastic and the con ngeniaiity and enthusiasm of Hurd which are worthy characteristics of the man of magic. was notable.
 Hurd need not suffer by comparison even with the late Hermann the Great. The performer of last evening pro- duced many novelties that were never known to Hermann or any of his con- temporaries in the realm of dexterity.
 There is fun mixed with wonder in the stunts of Hurd. In street par lance, he is more 'on the level" with the house than any other magician who has visited Montgomery. Still. with the generosity displayed the eye is only tantalized and the marvel of the tricks of Hurd undergoes no sac rifice as he carries the physical ob- jects to the very tips of one's dngers ts1d chins and noses.
 Ten pieces of coin were handed to a gentleman on the bald-head row. He counted them aloud and obeying the speaker, gave them back. Hurd in- sisted that the gentleman had more of his money but met with a denial as positive. The same man wondered. however, when, upon indication from the performer, he reached in his pock- ct and pulled out several additional pieces of silver.
 "Ah! you don't play cards! We'll. then, you do not belong in Montgom- cry, sir" spoke Hurd to a dignified nearer In the center of the pit. The magician wanted some cards shufhed. The amusement lapsed until five min utes later he walked over to the seat of the anti-card spectator and extri- cated a pack from his vest pocket.
 After running. through a very en- tertaining repertoire of miscellaneous tricks, Hurd concluded with his cele- brated chest mystery. This act defies the most intricate skill of an average audience in the way of tying knots. Even Ten Eck's extrication from knots was surpassed last night.
 In the chest mystery. the performer is tied to a box by a committee of four volunteers out of the audience. The box is first securely locked. The knots are approved several times. Hurd and the box are shot into cab inet around which members of the committee are posted as guards to guarantee no assistance from the out side. A minute or so. and the trans formation Is revealed--Hurd snugly deposited in the box and the ropes en- twined. The knots were identified.
 The Demorests. mana and woman. in comedy and music, served to vary the entertainment
 Hurd will be at the Bijou the re- mainder of the week. He will give 8 matinee Saturday.

.sThe Prince of PiI.en.,

In the long procession of musical comedies which blesses or curses the stage. The Prince of Pilsen' Is the royal favorite. a Prince Charming.
 It was nearly midnight before the imense audience poured out of the Montgomery Theatre last night. En- cores did 1t. The audience couldn't get sage of the violets." Imagination" Heidelberg" Song of the Cities "Fali h. and the others, had to be done over and over again. The audience was in- ing. If there was such thing as an Actors Union some investigation would have to be made of the way those act ors were worked overtime last night
 '"The Prince of Piisen" Is one of the req sons why musical comedy pleases. There are other reasons such as our old friend, The Belle of New York" '"The Burgo- master and others that are both musi- cal and comic. As for some other en- tertainments that come under that classification, musical comedy is popu- lar not on account of them, but in spite of them. -.4 ..
 '"The Prince of Pilsen" is musical comedy's best exhibit It Is the most exhilarating, the most effervescent. the most stimulating of all that cham pagne class of entertainment. If peo- pie must have 1t, they can not get 1t in any better form than in 'Ths Prince of Pilsen. .-

 The component parts have been so judiciously selected, so artistically blended and the whole has been so smoothly rounded into form that one may hardly lay finger upon a place and say, Its faulty here" The mu- sic is of the haunting. lingering kind. Think of the song favorites in the piece. Walk, Mister Walk" ""The sage of the Violets." But, pshaw! to mention the favorites is to mention the whole list of individual numbers. The music is not only popular. but it is of a higher grade than that with which the ordinary musical comedy is padded out. But even if it should have not been of high grade 1t is pleas ing to the ears and the hearts of the people.
 The story somehow. seems more req sonable than the imaginary plot which runs through other pieces of its class. And somehow the jokes are newer and fresher. That is the fine thing, tho remarkable thing about .sThe Prince, of Pilsen;p its makeFsr have succeeded in crowding both music and fun into its limits. There are some neat things
