some suggestions For the Maid
About This Important Duty.
The manner and appearance Of the
maid ut the front door IN answer to
the bell is said to be the keynote OF
the establishment. A fresh white
apron should be placed conveniently
near during the hours of morning work
where It can be put on at moments
notice, the same apron to be used for
serving at luncheon.
The ring should always be answered
MS promptly as possible and the door
opened sufficiently to suggest n wei
come, the maid to he plainly visible
and under 10 circumstances to remain
partially concealed behind the door,
with head appearing from the side or
arm thrust out to receive card.
A small tray for receiving cards
should be provided to be placed con-
yeniently near the door, so that in
passing the waitress may take 1t in
her hand and hold 1t by her side, par
TALLY concealed among the folds of her
dress. In case the visitor gives her
name 1uStCuu Ol ucE CuTu CdEc ShOuie'
be taken that the tray is not visible In
order that she may not feel that she
has neglected courtesy expected of
her. When the guest is prepared with
card, however, 1t is pleasure to find
maid ready to receive it as soon as
presented, without the delay of reach
ing for the tray, no matter how near II
may be.
| If the mistress is engaged or indis.
posed so that she cannot receive calls
she should instruct the maid to that
effect before the door is answered. In
showing a guest out the waitress
should open the door wide, holding II
so until the guest has descended the
steps or perhaps has gained the street
If 1t is n short walk. She should then
close 1t so softly that 1t may not be
heard.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Windy Hollow.

Once again has that windy, un-
civilized piece of humanity, name
ly, the author of Opossum Hollow,
belched forth, he thinks-his
fine, magnificent, stream of elo-
quence. Yes, once more he has
opened that enormous, exceeding
ly large mouth of his, and spurted
forth, worse than old Mt. Vesuvius
ever did. Only there was no hot
melted lava, or SIN IKE followed his
belching. No nothing but wind.
But he surely is of the windy
kind. For he goes around talk
ing, blowing and growing over
what he thought to be the victory
Yes 1 say growing, for he goes off
and crows over what he has done,
like bob-tailed Shanghai, on II
backyard fence growing over his
first fight. Yes, he is just the
kind of fellow that is always
blowing and never doing, and
| man of words, and not of deeds,
Is like a garden full of weeds.
Oh! / do pity the poor fellow so
much. 1t must be an awful thing
to have a swollen brain like ! is,
and to be so windy besides. We
do believe that no M. DIS. ellipti-
cal, asiatical, panticurial, nervous
cordial, can ever cure him of his
windy ways. But the best thing
for him to do is to attend to his
own affairs, and let other people
paddle their own canoe. And as
we sit here writing and gazing in
to pensive dav dreams, we listen
and behold with some certainty,
that another storm is brewing, and
we scribble faster and send this
off on kind of semaphore, for
the storm is coming with the ra-
pidity of doub!e-greased lightning
and sounds like the roar of u
thousand Niagara's.

CULINARY CONCElTS.

The secret of nice broiling is fire.
quent turning.
Cakes split In the center and burst
open when they have been baked too
quickly.
A few slices of bacon fried crisp with
fried chicken add to the flavor Of the
fowl. The bacon Is delicious served
In strips over the chicken.
Not all cooks know that carrot, or,
rather, the rich orange outside part of
1t, gives nutty taste to. soup and i'm
parts fine color to consomme in par

If you don't want your preserved
plums to cook all up into jam add
your sugar to the plums overnight and
cook them but twenty minutes the
next day.
Avoid the dark circle around the
yolks of hard boiled eggs by putting
them to cook In cold water and allow
Ing them to boil slowly fifteen to twen-
ty minutes after the water comes to
the boiling point.

A woman,s work,

A woman has a personal work and
duty relating TO her own home, and a
public work and duty which is also
the expansion Of that. The woman's
work for her own home is to secure
its order, comfort and loveliness. The
woman's duty, as member Of the
commonwealth, is to assist in the or
dering, in the comforting and In the
beautiful adornment of the state. What
the woman is to be within her gates,
the center of order, the balm Of dis.
tress and the mirror of beauty. that
che is also to be without her gates,
where order is more difficult, distress
more imminent and loveliness more
rare.-John Ruskin.

Try few drops of spirits of turpen-
tine on cube Of loaf sugar for hack
ing cough.
For neuralgia try wet cloths of alco-
hol and water or laudanum and water
laid on a hot water bottle and the part
steamed over.
Never scratch tho ears with anything
but the fingers II they itch. Do not
use the head Of pin, halrplns. pencil
tips or anything of that nature.
A burn or cut is benefited by an
application Of tincture of benzoin. The
simple tincture is for toilet purposes,
while the compound tincture Is used
incidentally.
Cramp In the legs is frequently re-
lieved by firmly pressing the feet
against some hard substance, such as
the end OF the bed. In most cases
pressure against a cold hearthstone
will afford relief.

 The subject matter of recent pub lications. personal, to myself and ssome ,.,thers.s Is of such painful character that I have hesitated to say anything In regard to 1t, s.ad have. perhaps. been unjust to myself and to the prees Tn declining to admit the whole truth when questioned.

PATRICK MAKES PLEA
DECLARES TFwRE Ts NO REAL
 EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM.
Lawxer. Convicted. of. the Murder of William M~rsh RsceiS sentenced to he EIectrocuted Week
 Beginning Jan. zz.

New York. Dec. 6.--After making a final personal plea to the court in hir own behalf. Albert T. Patrick. the law yer convicted of the murder of Will liam M. Rice tonight was sentenced to die in the electric chair in the week beginning January z2. Sentence was pronounced by Justice Rogers in the criminal branch of the State Supreme court. Notice at once was given that m appeal to the Supreme court of the United States on q yvrit of error will be taken. The application for the writ. It Is said will act as a stay of execution Patrick was taken back to Sing Sing tonight.
 Patrick listened twice this afternoon to a rehearsal of all the details of his rase by the district attorney and 1t was long past niRhtfall when, appar- ently feeling that the court was about 10 decide against him. he arose to speak in his own behalf.
 Once during the proceedings Patrick had been asked by Justice Rogers if he had anything to say before the sem tence should be passed on him and had remained silent hy direction of his lawyers. As the case neared a close Patrick grew restless while listening to the argument. both for and against place and pleaded to be heard.
 His action caused a stir in the crowded court room and the lawyers In the case held a hurried consuIta- tion. Patrick stood pale and anxious awaiting the courts permission to pro- ceed. This permission was finally granted and Patrick spoke for nearly fifteen minutes His voice at first a hit husky, grew clearer as he pro- ceeded and judge. attorneys and all in the court room listened attentiveIy, apparently impressed by the unusual situation
 The crush to secure admittance to Justiee RoEers' branch of the criminal division was so great that police re- serves from several stations were sum moned to preserve order.
 When Pat k had been allowed to proceed In has own behalf, he urged that there was no direct evidence that Rice had been killed, and reiterat ed his claim that he had been convicted on manufactured evidence. Justice Rogers then ordered Patrick to stand up and sentence was pronounced

FINAL STEP IS TAKEN
PREPARATION OF CHURCH AND
 STATE IN FRANCE. f
seuate. After Long Debate, Passes BilI by Q Vote of 1st to l02
 Amidst Great En- thuainam.

Paris, Dec. 6.---The Senate today att CT long debate adopted the bill for the separation of the church and state by vote of 1s1 against 102. The vot'' was announced amid enthusiastic" scenes. This Is the final parliamentary stage of the bill, which will be pro muIeated in the ofiiciaI Journal to- morrow, when 1t will become effectiv" immediately. The action of the Vatt- can regarding the law has not been definitely announced
 The French clergy, while opposing the measure appear to be disposed to conform to the new system.
 The public worship budget of 1906 will be reduced from sS,400.000 to nearly $e.80o.000 consequent on the gradual diuiinution of the salaries paid by the State to the clergy.
 Tho fundamental principles of the bills ensures liberty of conscience res- pecting religion with restrictions con. cerning the exercise of religion, which are intended to ureserve public order.
 The bill for the separation of church and State passed the Chamber of Dep- uties July by the decisive vote of 34I Ito 233. Its final passage marks the continuation of the strained relations which have long existed between the French government and the Vatican. It sweeps away system which dates from 1901. when the famous Concordat was signed by Plus VII and Napo- leon. This gave religion government tai status, the churches being gov by the State and tho entire church administration bieng under the direc- ton of a member of the Presidents cabinet

THE SENATE

Washington. Dec. e.--The Senate be- gan business in earnest today. The session was of only little more than two hours duration, but in that time several hundred bills and resolutions were introduced and referred to com- mittees.
 There were resolutions dealing with the national regulation of insurance companies. and the contribution of funds to political parties by national banks.
 Mir. Foraker presented his railroad rate regulation bill. MT. Gallinger his merchant marine subsidy bill. Mir. Lodge a bill providing for a maximum and minimum tariff rate schedule. in the interest of reciprocity, and Mir. Culber- son a bill making 1t penal offense to use the money of insurance companies in politics.
 The nearest approach to a controver- sy arose over a resolution presented by Mir. Newlandb directing the Interstate Commerce Commission to draw a na- tional incorporation act for railroads Mir. Spooner criticised the proceedings as unworthy of the Senate.
 Objection was made to consideration of a resolution offered by MT. Tillman for investigation of the subject of na- tional bank contributions for campaign purposes and the resolution went over for day.
