A Glenn sink.

When l first set up housekeeping,
resolved TO have sink that was "clean
enough to eat out Of" says a writer in
Good Housekeeping. At first this
seemed almost impossible, because Of
the SCOT from the kettles and the
scraps from the dishwater. But l
bought two wire meat racks, funnel
which fitted exactly into the drain and
a strainer which fitted exactly into the
funnel. The strainer should be Of tin,
as the wire gauze is too fine and does
not wear well. The meat racks should
have little legs at the corners which
keep them well above the surface of
the sink. All the pots, kettles, etc,
even TO the dishpan, are set on these
gratlngs, and all the dishwater Is
poured into the strainer when the dish
es are done. empty the scraps from
the strainer, and with a fresh pan of
hot water | rinse off the CRATES and
the funnel, wipe them, tip my water in
the sink. and with few strokes of a
small brush the sink is immaculate.

EXPENSIVE KISSES.
Two That Helped 10 Make Eight.
eenth Century History.

Two That Helped to Make Eight.
eenth Century History.
In the year 17O4 the beautiful and
charming Duchess of Gordon raised
that famous regiment of soldiers call
ed "the Gordon highlanders' by Civ
ing each recruit guinea in gold and
kiss from her own lips. 1t is notorious
that the regiment was raised to full
complement quicker than any other
regiment in the British service. But
the highlanders paid well for theD
kiss. They were sent Immediately tS
fight the French, and in their first en-
gagement 300 fell, killed and wounded.
In the year 1903 stray kiss was the
means of bringing about bloody and
expensive war. Prince Ferdinand of
Bavaria was journeying in neighbor'
ing state. One day he visited "the roy
al household" and while there his eye
caught sight of most beautiful maid
en- who happened TO be near him. He
was so bewitched with her charming
personality that he impulsively and
thoughtlessly implanted a kiss upon
her fair cheek. She was a princess of
the royal household, which the prince
knew not, neither did he know that she
was an affianeed bride and that her be-
trothed was near by and saw the
whole affair. Angry words and blows
followed. A duel was fought and both
principals were severely wounded. Dip
lomatic relations between the two king
doms were suspended, and long and
bloody war ensued, all on account Of Il
kiss which was paid for most dearly in
blood and treasure.

with his two comrades, Sears and
Turner. They had evidently planned
the committal of the crime, intending to
kill the captain and the chief and sec.
ond mates, loot the ship, and then get
away to one Of the south Pacific is
lands. They had rigged raft, OF
which they drifted away from the ship
in the darkness. Nothing could be seen
of the three men. but the Leicester Cas-
tie was hove to under courses, and at
one time it was thought the raft was
observed drifting toward the Pacific is.
lands, but this was mere fancy.
The Leicester Castle remained hove
to until 6 o'clock in the morning, and
although the horizon was scanned with
telescopes not trace Of the raft and
its ylllainous occupants could be seen,
and it is the opinion of those on Board
the Leicester Castle that the three men
met the death they richly deserved.
They are NJ A. Hobbs of Illinois, j.
Turner of Oregon and Ernest Sears Of
Idaho.
Captain Peattie also states that Hobbs
procured the revolver from the cabin
of the second mate, who kept it there
in drawer, fully loaded, and he as.
serts his belief that the murderer had
furnished himself with 100 rounds Of
ammunition previous to being shipped.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
of this daring crime is the fact that on
ly three men out of a crew Of twenty
six should deliberately plan such an
outrage and apparently without any
kind of consultation with their mates
before the mast and think they could
carry 1t out in the teeth Of the opposl-
tion which they must have known they
would meet from force outnumDering
them nearly eight to one.
There appears to have been no kind
Of provocation, and all suggestion Of III
treatment by the officers seems TO be
absent in this case Another curious
point Is that all three of the conspira.
tors were Americans, none of whom,
Captain Peattie thinks, had previously
been to sen and two Of whom hailed
from inland states Of the Union. There
is much mystery about the causes Of
this tragic affair, but 1t is unlikely to be
cleared up, as the mutlneers have prob
ably perishcd.

FRIDAY, JAN 20, 1904,

Ar meeting of the stockholders
of the Morenci Southern railroad
held at the Office of the company
in New York on the 14th instant
it was decided to increase the capi-
tai stock of the road from S25O,OOO
to s75O,O00 The Morenci Stand
ard says "that the explanation
given most credence is that the
property is worth vastly more than
its present capitalization repre-
sents and that the increase means
nothing more than putting the
value OF the road nearer where it
belongs. In the absence of moth
ing autboritatives as to the why
of the increase, however, a variety
Of rumors have gained currency.
Prominent among these are opin
ions that the s500,0C0 raised will
be put into widening of the guage
from Guthrie up and extension OF
the line to connection with the
Gila Valley, Globe & Northern,
which rumor again persists has
passed to the hands of Phelps
Dodge Whatever the application
Of the increase it will help the
camp, and in these piping days of
railroad building and extension it,
may be- that it will help it a whole
lot" In commenting on the above
the Era says: 'Tbe first explana-
tion is hardly teuabIe, because an
increase of capitalization on the
grounds suggested would mean an
increase of taxation without an APP
parent benefit 1t doubtless means
that the Morenci Southern have
some extensive improvements in
contemplation for the immediate
future. Doubtless this will be in
standardizing the guage OF the
road"

N Laundry Convenience.

A rather stiff brush about four and a
half inches long, without counting the
length of the handle, and two or three
inches wide is a convenient article in
the laundry outfit. Corsets and fan.
nels are much more easily scrubbed
clean with a brush than rubbed clean
Oh a board. Flannels of pure wool
which are not rubbed, but scrubbed
with brush, using water softened
with ammonia or bOlaX and white
nonresinous soap, wiz not shrink and
grow hard if they are dried on a firm
wooden frame Rubbing all wool fan
mel on a board causes the ultimate
spiral fibers of the wool TO become en-
tangled and shrink. This cannot hap
pen when a flannel is scrubbed with
brush. The dirt is also more easily re-
moved from the interstices of the cloth
by using the brush. Hard water and
resinous brown soaps cause flannel to
be hard.

Rodriguez. the boy pianist. At the age
of he could play any air which he
had ever heard once. He received
very little musical education, yet two
winters ago he was being paid at the
rate OF from $500 to $1,000 a night for
his performances In Paris, and later
signed a contract to give a series of
fifty performances in the United States
at $3.50 apiece. 1t SENS safe to argue

is old enough to go to school he will

W. II. Betty, nicknamed the Child
Roscius," was undoubtedly the most

stage before he was 5, and by the time
he had reached the age of 10 he was

out Great Britain. He was exceeding
ly popular. and for more than a year
he made 5000 a night. At 16 he re-
tired with a fortune of 100000 and
later, his popularity had waned. so he
turned his attention to his education.
When he reappeared some five years
was wise enough to retire on the
fortune he had made so early in life.
