Children
Should early be taught the proper way to
open and hold a book. All heavy books re-
quire especial care When too heavy for
the hand they should rest on a table or a
stand.
No one ever Should be allowed to lean
upon an open book The books that can
be handled without effort should be allowed
to rest with their backs in the PAIN of the
hand while one is reading. This of course
applies to books with fine buildings.
1t is taken for granted thai every house

however. is certain. whether the party be
elaborate or simple, costly or not, definite
program should be arranged beforehand
and strictly adhered to If the party is to

will agree as to what is to be done. One
child will want to dance when another

appeals to one small baby will not please
another But If definite program is writ

KILLS TWO GIRLS
AT THEIR REQUEST.
REMARKABLE TRAGEDY RE-
PORTED FROM GERMANY.
CRIME WAS PLANNED
Music Teacher Tells How He and His
Pupils, Melancholy Over Study
of Wagner, Had Agreed
to Die.

Berlin.-Carl Brunke, a young bank
clerk, has just been sentenced to eignt
years penal servitude here for n OF
the most extraordinary deeds IN tue
annals of crime. Without hesitation ne
confessed to the police that ne had
murdered at their own request TWO SIS
ters, Martha and Alma HAIRS, ~ n
81 years old respectively.
The self-confessed slayer had TOT
some time been acting in the capacity
of teacher of music to the young
women, and expert alienists say that
all three had been reduced to a state
of extreme melancholy from excessive
study of Wagner.
There is no doubt that the two girls
did ask Brunke to kill them. Indeed,
Martha, the elder one. gave him the
money with which to buy the revolver
with which the double murder raj
done.
When Brunke was arrested he said
he was ready to confess and with the
utmost calmness said:
when | came back the two girls
were awaiting me in my room, but Il
courage then began to fail us. Martha
gave me SIS to buy three bottles of
champagne, and after bracing up Il
courage with the wine we discussed all
the details of our approaching deaths.

agreed that the revolver would surely
do its work unfailingly. Both girls

Nyanza street, Plumstead, to her moth

drowned her baby sister. The victim
was the six-weeks-old child of Mrs.
Branch, who told the Woolwlch cor
oner that OF Friday afternoon she left
her infant in the kitchen with the old
er child. The latter came to her and
remarked: Sorry, mamma" AS the
little girl was in the habit of making
this remark when she had done any
thing wrong, the mother did not pay
any particular heed, but when she
added that Dolly was dead the mother

were soon deserted by all but the at
tendants. Fences were pulled up,
lamp posts overturned and business
signs thrown helter-skelter.
At the First aBptist Colored church,
the congregation had just finished a
hymn, and the minister was giving out
the text when pandemonium seemed to
have broken loose In the church yard.
One elephant with long tusks, the pa
triarch of the herd, butted his head
against the door, which crashed in,
and an instant later the beasts head
was showed into the church, and the
long trunk waved about ~threateningly.
Several members of the Sunday
school class saw the animals head and
trunk, and, imagining that Satan had
called either to admonish them or to
take them with him, rent the air with
their infantile shrieks. The elephant
then withdrew his head and, taking a
place in front of his companions, conf
menced a slow gallop about the church
edifce, a trick they had been taught
in winter quarters. Women screamed
and several tainted, although Pastor
Francis e~ndeavored to allay their
fears.
The members of the congregation
covered in terror as the elephants cir
c)ed the building, their outstretched
trunks pulling down limbs of trees and
hurting the benches and chairs in the
yard to splinters.
After their little %run-about recrea-
ton the elephants proceeded to dig up
the church yard and other yards in the
vicinity and made them look as If a
number of laborers had been at work
with picks and spades. Finally the
keepers arrived on the scene and went
to work to calm the animals. but they
were so excited that this took some
time. Several of them, however. obeyed
the command "Dukei" which means in
elephant language to lie down, and
these animals were formed into a line.
The elephants were,' after a short
while, under control, with the excep-
ton of five, one of whom was the old
animal that led the outbreak. With
four other elephants he disappeared in
the direction of Carthage Heights and
as soon as word could be sent TO the
fair grounds men on horseback. with
ropes and chains, started after them.

Brunke turned over to the police let
tiers apparently written by the two
girls, in which they said that 1t was at

The alienists who examined the pris-
oner decided that although he was suf-
tering from a form of insanity, 1t was
not sufficiently marked to render him
immune to punishment. The eight
year sentence was imposed under a
section of the criminal code which
provides a minimum of three years
penal servitude from crimes of such
nature. The courts cannot recall n
case of this kind.

A Good Recipe For Preparing This
Delightful Dish.
Curries are easily made If the expert
menter is content to begin with simple
recipes. Almost any meat or vegetable,
not to speak Of fish and fowl, may be
cuTried, and experience lets the light
in on a number Of delightful combina-
tons. Curried chicken is perhaps the
best thing to begin with. Cut up the
chicken as for stewing. Fry an onion,
half a tart apple and, If there is no
prejudice against the fragrant herb,
two cloves or garlic, all cut up fine, in
butter until Of a golden color. Put the
chicken in this and fry until slightly
brown. The object is to scar the out
side Of the fowl. Now season with salt,
white or red pepper and two haaping
teaspoonfuls Of best curry powder.
Turn the pieces over and over to dis
tribute the seasoning. Just cover with
hot water, cover tightly and cook slow
" for three hours. Before covering
add half q cupful Of grated fresh CO
coanut, not the desiccated cocoanut,
Just before serving squeeze in the Juice
of half a lemon, taste and add extra

drops Of kitchen bouquet greatly i'm

SECRET OF CHARM.
Cultivate the Ability to Appear Un-
conscious of Self.

Cultivate the Ability to Appear Un-
conscious OF Self.
One must be unconscious Of self in
order to be considered charming. Fol-
lowing the Golden Rule entities a wO-
man to be called charming. She must
be good or she cannot be charming, not
on a long acquaintance-that is, where
there is a lack of sincerity it is easily
discovered, perhaps not in the course
Of few visits, but later on.
There is a difference in the true and
false ring of a coin. Think not to de-
eeive. 1t is impossible. All exert an
influence for good or evil upon those
they come in contact with. Why not
let it be the former? 1t is much the
happier way. A pleasant impression
never works harm to any one and
fingers in the mind as long as the mem
DRY of the person lasts, says Woman's
Life.
A charming woman takes a broad
view of life. She cannot be narrow.
She wounds not her friends with I'M
kind words. If she chides, it is with
a gentle manner.
To deserve to be called a charming
woman, one must be charming to wo-
men as well as to men, otherwise the
charm would be a very one sided thing,
so to speak. IT is easy to charm a man
in many cases, not so easy a woman.
Is there a woman so unfortunate as
not to be charming to some one?

by Lamar and Shackleford on the rate
! regulation question, when that view
was not his way. although the view
OF Lamar and Shackleford has be-
come the view of majority of con-
gTeSsm6n.
The action was unjust, because Mr..
Williams accused the two gentlemen
of breaking the rule of a Democratic
caucus, when Mr.. Lamar proved clear
that no caucus had been called on the
rate regulation question when the rule
was made On the contrary, the meet
ing was held for the purpose of con-
sidering a matter personal to Mr.. Will
liams-the question of his resignation
of his leadership.
Mr.. Lamar did perfectly right to
protest against the unjust action Of
this discredited leader, and the proper
time to do it was the very first time
he had a chance.
AS to the Williams remark that Dem
ocratic dirty linen SHOULD not be wash
ed in presence Of Republicans-this
comes under the head of buncomb, and
belongs On the list of high-sounding
but cheap clap-trap used by persons
short on logic and long on wind

Democracy was soiled. Mr.. Williams
was the man who put the dirt on it.,
and being soiled, let us not be too par
ticular about the place of the cleans
ing; let's be sure that the washing is
done promptly and well.
Some of Mr.. Lamar's critics have
hurled the terrible accusation against
him that he was thrusting himself into
the limelight Well, that's what we
pay him for.
The calcium glare is a good thing
to turn on congressman, and when it
shows them fighting a position on an
important committee where they can
do good service for the people they
represent, as did Mr.. Lamar, lucky is
the state that has a limelight-loving
servant.

The Feel Question
In Florida,

The preparation Of peat for fuel
promises st no distant day, to be one
of the leading industries Of Florida
in fact the work of developing this
source Of wealth is already under
way. Under the caption Fuel IL
Florida" the Savannah Morning
News has the following TO say rela.
tive TO the matter:
Heretofore it has been feared that
Florida could scarcely become a
manufacturing state of considerable
importance, owing 20 the lack of fuel
and water power. The state has no
coal and her sole native fuel has up
10 this time been drawn from the
rapidly disappearing forests: the
peninsula is almost fat practically
from one end to the other, so that
there are no fan or rapids 20 generate
power for turning mill wheels Mean
while the soil is eXcellently adapted
70 the production of fibsrs that might,
81 power were readily and cheaply
available, be largely employed IN the
manufacture Of various sorts of
coarse and even fine cloths. II is
claimed a. and with apparently good
reason, that there are native Florida
6bers that viii compare with fax In
strength and fineness. and that only
machinery for separating the fiber
from the pulp and power to drive the
machinery are lacking for the devel-
opment Of a large textile industry in
the peninsula state.
The Times-Union is strong in the
belief. that the fuel or power, question
has practically il not actually been
solved. In nearly every part of the
state there are great deposits Of peat
that nav be made available. In Ire
land. Scotland. England and Den
mark peat is extensively used for the
production Of heat and power. Still,
Al is a fact that even in those Coun-
tries Il cannot be used economically
except where Il is found and prepared
for use close at hand Il is so bulky
that It cannot be transported for any
considerable distance without the
cost Of carrying eating up the margin
between the price Of peat, and that Of
coal As COMPARED with coal, peat
Is a low-energy fuel, so that one
mound Of the former viii do the work
Of four or five pounds Of the latter.
But where the peat is TO be had close
ut hand, il makes a very satisfactory
substitute for coal. Ii is claimed that
the Florida peat is Of good quality
and that when properly prepared will
give about as much energy as the
neat Of ireland. II may be that the
Florida peat deposits will solve the
problem Of manufacturing in that
rtste. Another possibility is that the
Floridians. with the use Of peat, may

smoky taste from the peat with
which. they are distilled.

The orange industry of Florida is
rapidly recUpsrating and most Of her
groves have been rebilitated since the
great freeze Of 1895. No fruit equals
the Florida orange and it will contin

markets.
The pineapple industry continues
to widen its acreage and the fruit is
so choice that it enjoys an almost ex-
