Bathroom Wall Paper

1t has been said that a we'll
equipped bathroom is the hallmark of
responsibility, and the color and con-
dition of bathrooms walls go
long way toward making or marring
that equipment.
Blessed is the housekeeper who can
afford to have her walls tiled from
floor to ceiling! For less favored
mortals, who put up with thing and
paper, wainscoting and paper, or even
paper all the way. that paper Is of
paramount Importance
Some persons like tiled paper z
ers say that it's place is the kitchen,
not the bathroom; but whatever your
preferences along this line, make the
color light. Get glazed paper, and
if from lack of wainscot or tile 1t must
stand the splash Of water, give it a
coat of white varnish.
Avoid elaborate patterns. A white
background is always good. Designs

THINGS That Never Die

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to wordless prayer,
The streams of love and truth;
The longings after something lost,
The spirits yearning cry;
The striving after better hopes
These things can never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need;
A kindly word in grief's dark hour,
That proves friend indeed;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When Justice threatens high;
The sorrow of contrite heart
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word,
That wounded want of sympathy
We feel, but never tell;
The hard repulse, that chills the heart,
Whose hopes are bounding high,
In an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass, for every hand
Must find some work to do;
Loose not a chance to waken love
Be firm and just, and true;
So shall light that can not fade
Beam on thee from on high,
And angel voices say to thee
"These things shall never die"
Charles Dickens.

Halloween


WITH LuC Crisp weather OI OCUOU0T
do we associate apple roasting, nut
cracking, and fotune telling of Hal
lowe'en. In many homes there is a
hustle and hurry at this time. Prep
arations ar being made for the Hal
lowe'en party.
1t Is strange that in this age of find
ing out the why's and wherefors of
things so many people are entirely ig-
norant of the origin of Halloween.
Long before the Christian faith in
Great Britain the Druids performed
special rites on what is known as Hal
lowe'en. Fires were lighted and mys-
tic ceremonies were held. Earliest
records show that on this night the
supernatural forces held revel in the
sphere of humanity.
1t is only in Scotland and Ireland
that there is real appreciation for
Halloween. 1t is a myth Of tradition
handed down from one generation to
another. This myth goes back to the
days of Paganism and is a remnant
of it. The Scotch child born on Hal
lowe'en was opposed to possess GER
tain mysterious qualities; he had COM
munion with supernatural powers and
his actions were at all times to be re-
garded charitably.
Sir Walter Scott and Robert Burns
have given us good descriptions of
Halloween. The story of Tam O'Shan-
ter by Burns is SO wierd, so magical
and so ghostlike that one fancies him.
self in dream. He is somewhat sur
prised to think he has read a poem
upon which great man has actually
spent time and energy.
In our own country Halloween is
spent, not with any regard for it's or
igin, but as time to be spent in
merry making. All possible means of
making things appear ghostly and
wierd are employed The house is
often lighted only by the light of the
fire or perhaps by jack-o'-lanterns
made from following out pumpkins
or squashes. Fortunes of every mag
Unable kind are told; ghost stories are
rehearsed. Ducking for apples, roast
ing peanuts and popping corn usually
constitute large part of the evenings
amusement.
In some sections house parties have
given place to outdoor sports. People
are surprised on Halloween to hear
ticktacks on the windows, and door
bells ring without apparently any rea-
son therefor. Oftentimes movable
property is displaced, sidewalks are
overturned and depreciation in gen
eral is committed 1t has been car
ried so far that in most cities extra
police are hired for that night to pre-
vent the destruction of properly.
The real meaning of Halloween has
been lost. Instead of spending the
evening in pure. harmless fun, mali
cious destruction has been carried on
to such an extent that many dread
rather than look forward to it with
pleasure.

How to Make Bread

T1OW " WdNC eau
When making bread grease the pan
you put it into to raise In the morn
ing it will come out smooth and nice.
You won't have to scrape for half an
hour to get the dough from the dish
before washing it.
Use the best -four. 1t is the cheap
est. Always sift it and in cold wealth
or warm it slightly
When mixing try making thin
batter at first, like cake dough; then
beat it thoroughly the same as you
would cake; then add the usual guam
tity of flour; knead until as elastic
as rubber; do not stop while knead-
ing; dough that has rested will not
make good bread; after kneading try
sprinkling little sugar over top to
prevent forming crust while rising.
1t will require scarcely any moulding
in the morning; just shape into
loaves; make small loaves and bake
we'll
Bread is proved sufficiently for the
oven when the dent made by the fing
ers on the loaf will remain.
When ready to bake spread the top
of the loaf with a little lard.
When baked turn out on clean
board or table and let remain until
cool, changing the position of the
loaves occasionally that all sides may
be properly ventilated or cooled
Don't make the mistake of placing
wet towels around loaves as so many
do--this is not at all necessary and
may tend to make the bread mould.
Even though the crust may seem hard
when taken from the oven it will be.
come soft and tender as the heat
leaves the loaves.
The only fit receptacle for keeping
bread is tin or granite for bread, as
it will mould quickly in either. A
large tin box such as is used for cake
or a granite kettle with a cover. The
cover for either should be left slight
ly ajar part of the time in warm
weather; this prevents moulding, and
good sweet bread a little dry is much
more tasty than bread savoring of
closeness or muStinesS.
Very finely mashed potato added to
dough is a good thing and helps to
keep bread moist.
If milk is used in mixing 1t should
be scalded first and then allowed to
cool to blood heat.
In making your bread over night
use cold water in summer and quite
warm in winter. A stone jar with
cover is fine for mixing in winter as
| it retains the heat.

FINE HORSES POISONED.
Three Belonging TO Wholesale Grocer Die
in Stable Business Rival Suspected.

AhO
In stable Business Rival Suspected.
A malady which banied veterinary sur
geons caused the death of two valuable
horses belonging to Nathan Ressler, pro-
prietor OF a wholesale grocery, at 200 Canal
street, in the last three weeks. and a third
is now at the point Of death. The oircum-
stances were so peculiar that Mr.. Ressler
called in detectives from the Elizabeth
street police station.
As a result John Lang, 10 years old,
son Of one OF the proprietors Of the Cannon
stables, at o. Cannon street. where the
horses were kept, was arrested last night
charged with poisoning the animals. Abra-
ham Kofer, IS years old, one of Mr.. Ressler's
drivers, who lives at 222 West l44th street,
is held by the police as a suspicious person.
Kofer has make a partial confession, the
police say.
On September "a the grocer purchased
a fine horse, paying s27S for it, and it was
stabbed in the Cannon livery. That night
it died. apparently in great agony. before a
veterinary surgeon could be called. Last
Saturday a horse for which Mr.. Ressler
paid SASS died in exactly the same manner
A third equally valuable, was taken sick
yesterday and there is little hope Of saving it.
Y Remarks which Kofler is said to have
dropped caused Detectives Cunniff and
Eaton to place him under arrest last night.
They say he told them finally that he was
hired to poison his employers horses by
John Lang and a man named Brown.
Lang" Kofer is quoted AZ saying, said
he had been hired to do it by a business
rival Of Ressler's. We prepared balls of
fine feed and put the poison in them. I
don't know what II was, but l know the
first horse died a short time after. That
scared me and l didn't want to poison any
more. But Lang and l were in the stable
the other night INT when / was slow he took
the ball out Of my hand and gave it to the
horse and il died.
Il didn't do the work fast enough to suit
them, and a couple Of nights ago they
jumped on me and gave me a hard licking.
That's the reason / talked about it. and that's
the way you got wise 10 IL, / guess"
Lang was then placed under arrest. He
lives at 102 Cannon street and says he is a
jeweller employed at 83-43 Gold street.
He denied all knowledge Of poisoning the
horses, and said he had never known Koler.

PACIFIC COAST COMPANY.
Elects OF san Francisco Disaster Felt b
Its steamship Lines.

The pamphlet report Of the Pacific Coast
Company for the year ended June 30, 1900.
vas issued yesterday.
The report shows that the property loss
from the San Francisco earthquake was
comparatively slight, but that the same
disaster will affect the earnings OF the
steamship lines for some time to come.
The decreases in gross and net earnings
Of the steamship lines are almost wholly
due to it. Prior to that the earnings eX-
celled those Of the previous year.
With the approval of the board OF direc-
tors, the Columbia and Puget Sound Rail-
road has entered into a ninety-nine year
contract with the St. Paul by which the
latter il 10 have running rights over the
tracks OF the former between Maple Valley
and Seattle, a distance Of about twenty
miles.
The making OF this contract prevents
the building Of a competing parallel line,
besides adding to the earnings OF the
Columbia and Puget Sound Railroad and
reducing to some extent its operating
expenses.
Figures from the report are given else
where.
