WOMAN HIRED BY MRS. PLATT,
WHOSE SPECIAL DUTY is TO
ATTEND WANTS OF "NAN MAN."
THE DOG.

New York, Oct. S. lSpl)-A Wash
ington dispatch to the World says:
Since the sensational developments
in the home life of Senator Platt were
made, the little Japanese poodle, Nan
Nan, has come forward as one of the
conspicuous figures in the Platt do
nestle troubles. Nan Nan is a bit
of dog, with long hair, shading off
with cream-white into light brown
and receives more attention than the
average baby.
In one of the accounts of the Plat
differences, Mrs. Platt is said to have
excused herself from joining Senator
Platt on one occasion because the dog
was so ill that he needed her atten-
ton. Mrs. Plat has a woman, Anna
Graham, whose chief duty is said to
be to look after the poodle. His
teeth were in bad condition at one
time, and it is said that a check of $50
went to pay dentist for fitting Nan
Mans teeth up in gold.
Three Combs for Doggie.
little canopy wicker basket, lux
uriously lined, is Nan Mans resting
place, and no less than three combs
are used in fixing him up after his
teeth have been cleaned, his eyes
bathed and he has had his regular
bath.
Mrs. Platt usually carries Nan Nan
in her arms, and if he becomes ill the
entire household is said to be upset.
doctor is hurriedly summoned and
every attention is given the mite of
dog.
Ann Graham, the maid, has long
been in the employ of Mrs. Platt She
lived with her in Washington and has
been her constant attendant since the
marriage of the senator to Mrs. Jane
way Some years ago Mrs. Janeway
kept rooming house here in New
Jersey avenue, and it is said that if
all the neighbors know of that time
were made public the name of Sena-
tor Platt would not be the only one
who would figure in the story
1t has been learned that the ac-
quaintance of Mrs. Plat and J. K.
Hedges, is not of such recent date He
was formerly employed as driver for
a local express and transfer company,
and is said to have paid many visit
to the New eJrsey avenue house.

Coachman Hedges Gone.
j. Q. Hedges, the coachman, who
has figured in the domestic troubles
Of Thomas Collier Plat, has disap-
peared from the country home of the
senator. Whether he left Tioga
lodge at the request of Mrs. Plat or
at the command of the senator is a
question. Mrs. Platt is entrenched
in Tioga Lodge. All about the house
are dogs and men servants guard the
entrances.
No one is allowed to enter Mrs.
Plat says that her marital relations
do not concern the public. She re-
fers interviewers to her counsel 1t
is said that the lawyers representing
the senator and his wife are now try
ing to arrange a settlement of their
difficulties.

SEVERAL USES FOR SALT.
OF More Value Than Merely to Serve
as Condiment.

Here are several uses for salt: Put
a pinch in the eggs you are beating,
and they will be light in much
shorter time.
Sprinkle it on the fire and you will
gain the blue flame so much desired
for broiling steaks or chops.
Sprinkle it in the bottom of the
oven and your cakes will not burn.
Pour it quickly on spilled claret or
ink, and 1t will absorb most or all
of the liquid before it has time to
stain.
Salt makes an excellent toothpow-
der. but it is not advisable to use it
daily, as it will spoil the enamel il
used too frequently. Still, an occa-
sional brushing with it is recon-
mended.
Sprinkle it on the Goals and shake
your damp, uncurled ostrich feathers
over the fumes. and the tendrils will
curl up smartly.
Battle your tired eyes in salt and
water and you will be astonished at
the strength 1t gives them.
A pinch of salt improves cakes.
candies. and almost everything that
is cooked

Authors earn much less in France
than in England. The late Sir Walter
Besant ten years ago estimated that
there were so novelists in England
who earned upward of a thousand a
year. There are now probably nearer
hundred and fifty; while in France
there are almost certainly not more
than so who make living at all. An
English novelist of standing will re-
ceive eighteerpence on every copy of
book sold. Some novelists receive
two shillings. Emile lola, who touched
high water mark in France. got a
franc, which is rather less than ten
pence. Seven pence halfpenny is
considered excellent pay. and four
pence and fivepence are common.
