HOMEMADE MANGOES.
Directions for Preparing This PaIat- able and Appetizing.
 Relish.

These good, old-fashioned, homemade pickles. which our grandmother pat termed after those of East Indian prepa-5 ration, are again in the height of gastro- homie style, and the woman who knows how to make them may be sure that they will never go to waste on her hands. They may be made from small green melons, water or musk melons; green tomatoes. large cucumbers, peppers, peaches--any fruit, in fact, says the Washington Star, from which the inside seeds or stones can be removed, the cav fty filled with sweet or sour pickle mix ture and the opening closed so as to give the apparance of whole fruit When melons are used, cut out a wedge large enough to scoop out the seeds and soft portions. For peppers or green toma- toes, cut 8 circular piece from the stem end and remove the seeds Then put the pieces in place again and soak over night in brine. In the morning drain, taking pains to keep the separated parts or the same fruit or vegetable together. For filling use firm white cabbage, chopped very fine, with quarter as much celery, cucumber, green tomato or sweet peppers. Sprinkle well with salt and stand aside for several hours Drain and to each pint of the vegetable add a small onion, few nasturtillm seeds a teaspoonful of mustard seed and salt, pepper, ginger, cloves, a1lspice and cin- namon, to taste. Mix thoroughly, fill the cavities, packing in closely, 1t in the pieces that belong in and wrap firmly with twine. Cover with vinegar and let the pickle stand over night In the morning heat all together and simmer for half an hour. Remove carefully, put in stone jar and cover with cold vine- gar. The next morning pour off the vinegar and allow half eupful of sugar to each quart of the vinegar Scald and pour over the mangoes. Repeat the scalding for several mornings, and when quite cold cover and set away in cool place.

MISS FAY DAVIS.

When the curtain was rung down at the end of the final act in ''Whitwash- ing Julia," at Polis theater, last night, the small audience no doubt felt lit tic relief. As they passed from the theater their thoughts. methinks. ran in inc one and same channel, namely, fIsat this alleged comedy Is a very poor vehicle to carry that charming actress, Miss Fay Davis. into the hearts and esteem of the American theateT-going public. It isn't Julia that needs the whitewashing. 1t is the play. The play has few merits of its own. Whatever pleasure 1t may afford an audience. 1t ,isS due to the abilities of Miss Fay Davis and fine supporting company. Miss Davis was even more charming than on her previous visits here. Her acting improves with age. She fs Tar from being the best, but her bright, animated nature, her sweet winning smiles. her natural archness. her grace of style. all combine to form n stage personality which is rather pleasing. Her sweet voice is all entrancing. The honors of the evening were shared with Miss Davis by Guy Standing. Guys fine stage personality is much en- haneed by his clever acting The other members of the company were ail clever in their way. The audience was a chilly one. "Whitewashine .Ililia'' is apt to freeze any audience except. for the presence of Miss Fay Dapis and her clever company.

BOLDLY DEFIED oMENS.
UpsettinR of Salt Cellar and slip. ping on Banana Peel Laughed
 At by Brides.

It was the bride in this case who refused to be daunted by bad omens. William Owen, of South Dakota, was about to be married to Miss Linton. He had breakfast with her at her residence and during the course of the meal he knocked over the salt dish three times. He made some laughing remark the first time, but on the third he began to look uncomfo fortable.
 Then, after breakfast, he dropped 3 mirror, and at this stood aghast.
 T guess we'd better postpone the wedding another day" he said.
 For salt dish and mirror?" asked Miss Linton. Not much"
 And the wedding proceeded.
 Charles Goston, of New York, was the other bridegroom who was unfortunate in the auguries of the wedding day. He was to be married to Miss Helen Larned

It has never ceased to be a cause of re- gret to the good Mrs. Parvenu. relates London Tit-Bits, that she had the pro- erary lights.

Like Dockstader, he always keeps abreast of the times by reading the newspapers and frames his hunor accordingly At times, perhaps, he gets a little ahead of his audience on this account, but he is always amusing even to those who are not observing readers of the papers. He is an old minstrel star, having di- rected the Carncross & Dixey minstrels in Philadelphia for two years. Man. ager Poii has played him many times, but never with the same success he is meeting with this week in New Haven, and he is confident that he will be a tremendous success as q headiiner here.
