A. New Treatment of Shelves.

The wide shelves at the back Of
deep closets may be turned into Won
derfully convenient affairs If other
shelves be inserted between the two
of three shelves which are usually
considered enough. If the shelves are
run all the way from floor to ceiling,
the closet may be made even more sat
isfactory. Have shallow drawers made
to fit the shelf spaces, letting them be
light in weight, so that lifting drawer
and it's contents out Of the closet
need not necessarily be burden. TO
do this, wire netting-the strong kind
is sometimes used in framework OF
wood, the front made entirely of wood,
to keep dust out. Even home car
penter can build this stationary cabi-
net, and the comfort of such an ar
rangement cannot be overestimated.
The top drawers, which are hard to
get at. may serve as receptacles for
the things you need to disturb but
seldom-a party frock, for instance,
Of the type that should not be hung
up But their arrangement will work
out according to individual need.

Warmed Over Dishes.

The careful housekeeper never
wastes any left-overs, but utilizes
them in the preparation of appetizing
side dishes. In a majority OF cases,
such dishes good sauce as basis.
Dark foods usually require brown
sauce, nght-colored meats or vegeta-
bles a white sauce. Here are two
which will serve as the basis Of many
sauces:
Brown sauce.-Heat half pint
of good soup stock or gravy; when
neither are on hand use water, though
the result is naturally not quite so
good. In another saucepan melt and
slowly brown one tablespoonful of but
ter or clarified fat. Add one slightly
heaping tablespoonful of -four and stir
until Drowned. Gradually add the hot
liquid, stirring continuously until
smoothly thickened. Season accord
ing to the left-overs, which are to be
used with salt, pepper, onion juice,
herbs or spices.
White sauce.-Heat half pint
Of milk. Melt tablespoonful Of but
ter in a saucepan; without browning,
add one tablespoonful Of flour, stir
for two minutes without coloring.
Gradually add the hot milk, stirring
until smooth and thick. Season and
simmer for five minutes.
Shepherd Pie.-Chop some cold
cooked mutton quite fine. Measure,
and for each pint add salt and pepper
to taste, a half teaspoonful Of onion
Juice, a dash Of curry powder and a
half pint of brown sauce. Mix and
spread in a creased dish. Cover with
a thick layer of hot mashed potato,
dabbling the top with little beaten
egg yolk. Brown in quick oven.
Italian fritters.-Take one cup
full Of sifted -four, the yolk Of one
egg, one teaspoonful of vinegar, one
teaspoonful of olive oil or melted
butter and enough cold water to mix
to a batter that will pour from
spoon. Add the stif1y whipped white
and set away for two hours. Into
this dip pieces of cooked meat or veg
etables and fry brown in deep smok-
ing hot fat.-Cornelia c. Bedford, In

Immigrant Vessel

WRECKED ON ROCKS
Awful and Pitiful Scenes
Occurred as Unfortunate
Men, Women and Chill
dren Met Their Doom.

A special from Cartagena, Spain,
says: A terrible marine disaster oc-
CURED Saturday evening off Cape
Palos. The Italian steamship Sirio,
from Genoa for Barcelona, Cadiz, Mon
tevideo, and Buenos Ayres, with about
eight hundred persons on board, was
wrecked Off Hormigas Island.
Three hundred immigrants, most
of them Italian and Spaniards, were
drowned.
The captain of the steamer commit
ted suicide.
The remainder Of the passengers
and the officers and crew got away
in the ships boats or were rescued
by means of boats sent to them from
the shore.
A number of fishermen, who made
attempts at rescue, were drowned.
Those rescued from the vessel are
now at Cape Palos in a pitiable con-
dition, being without food or cloth
ing.
The Sirio struck rocky reef known
as Bajor Hormigas and sank soon az
ter, stern first Hormigas Island lies
about 2 IL miles to the eastward OF
Cape Palos.
Before he committed suicide, the
captain declared the steamer had 645
passengers on board and that her
crew numbered 127 men. The Sirio
had $40 passengers when leaving &C.
noa, but additional Spanish passen-
gers were taken on board at BARGE
Iona, where the vessel touched few
hours before.
The disaster occurred at o'clock
SATURDAY afternoon. The steamer was
threading a difficult passage through
the Hormigas group, where the Ba-
los Hormigas reef is continual men
ace to navigation.
The vessel began to settle rapidly
immediately she had struck and
terrible scene of confusion and panic
ensued on board. The fishermen along
the coast sought to render every as
sistance in their power and set out In
boats, which brought many survivors
ashore. Most of the officers and crew
of the Sirio. are among the saved.
The condition of the survivors is
most deplorable. They have lost eY-
erythins and are without money, food
or clothing The maritime authorities
of Cartagena have dispatched a tug
to the scene carrying relief supplies.
The buildings of circus and the
poorhouse are being used as tempo
rary quarters for the survivors.
From the broken narratives Of the
terror-stricken survivors 1t would ap-
pear that it was the intention OF the
captain of the Sirio, leaving BARGE
Iona, to call at Cadiz before proceed
Ing to Brazil. The captain, in order
to shorten the route and gain time,
purposed to pass as close as possible
to the dangerous rocky ledges sur
rounding the Hormigas Islands.
Without any warn:kg and while run
ming at full speed the Sirio crashed
upon the rocks with terrific force.
"A few minutes later the stern OF
the vessel. sank beneath the waVSs.
The passengers were in a. state OF
horror ana panic Crowds rushed Tor
ward, pushing each other and ngnt-
ing for places in the bow OF the boat.

"ToPsY. TURVY TROLLEY"
A New Nerve Hacking Importation
 That Is Startling to the Extreme.

The Great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers United Shows offer more novelty sensations and exclusive speciaIties this season than were ever before assembled in a circus program. Beginning with the stupendOus spec tacle of "Fighting the Flames" which involves more than one thousand peo- pie. the ring acts listed number more than one hundred. Most of the acts are new to America, and the artists interpreting the European successes make their first appearance here with these big shows. There are several sensations that have created tremend- ous interest in London, Paris and Der lin. and which have repeated this ex traordinary success in America. Sal vo's "Trip to the Moon" is a feat of hazard, daring and skill that mOcls human understanding, and the deeds of Frederick Zobelie, in which he walks upon his hands up steep spiral stairway to the apex of the tent, and then, without relaxing his rigid, in verted position. clasps two frail look ing little wheels and reels with ter rife momentum down two steep cables to the ground, is of the same hair raising, staggering heroism- At no time in his long trip, head down ward does the supple, fearless per former relax his up-side-down posi- ton, with toes pointed skyward, and body as straight as a plummet until he has made the seeming, intermin- able journey, step by step, round by round. and up the perpendicular height to the vantage point of change for the fierce. blood curdling, topsy- turvy trolley ride down the acute in cline The strain upon the arms and back of the performer in this marvel ous journey head downward from the ground to the highest point in the canvas dome, and then descending to the level track, without break and travelling like the forks of lightning, makes this athletic achievement the most marvellous ever witnessed at a public exhibition in the whole range of human history.

ONLY FOR AN HOUR.

Speaking of bIackberries,' said the Pittsburg man, as he leaned back in his seat in the smoker. 'but they made a hero of me once for an hour. They also lost me the girl I was going to marry"
 Of course the half dozen of us want ed to know how it was. and he drew a long breath, and continued:
 'T was stopping in the country for few days and was deeply in love with a farmers daughter when a party was made up to go blackberrying. After We had been among the bushes for a few minutes, my Fanny screamed out that a rattlesnake had bitten her on the ankle.
 ''There was great excitement. of course. and my chance to make a hero of myself had come. Her stocking was stripped down and we saw blood, and I put my mouth to the spot and sucked at the wound until sure that no poison could be left. The incident broke up our plans, and we were started for home.
 'Fanny's mother at once sent for a country doctor, and while waiting for him I was the hero of the hour. After his arrival my name was mud.

MILITARISM.

There doubtless seemed to MT. Bry- an, or to some of his friends, a painful incongruity in the announcement on a States is to be enlarged. coming as this did at the same time with his plea for universal peace and his message straight from that nterparliamentary union which so earnestly advocated un- iversal disarmament. It was like a dash of cold water on warm and kin ding hopes thus to proclaim that the United States army was to be enlarged to a total force of 62,515.
 For let us consider what that means. Estimating the population of theUnit- ed States and it's dependencies at S5,- 000,000, it means one soldier in every 1860 persons. It is really painful to think how much that one soldier will bully, overawe and oppress the other 1859. Estimating the area of our do- main at about 3,145,00O square miles, it means one soldier on every fifty square miles of land. Truly that will be to turn the republic into a huge armed camp; Why. there will be nearly as many soldiers as there are Methodist and Baptist preachers. There will be nearly one whole soldier for every three churches. There will be nearly one-seventh as many soldiers as there are public school teachers. Monstrous? :? We should say so. It is militarism run mad
 Beyond doubt. the crying need of hu- manity is that this belligerent, swash- bucking nation, in which there is pres ently to be one real live soldier to every 1860 of the population should set to the world the example of disarmament It will be remembered that there was no peace in the jungle until the in- furiated rabbits were muzzled and the ravening lambs had their bloodthirsty fangs extracted. Only then were the gentle lions and timid tigers able with safety to relax their unceasing watch and ward for the security of their dens. New York Tribune.

"coFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME"

'I was one of the kind who wouldn't believe that coffee was hurting me-" says a N. Y woman.
 "You just couldn't convince me it's use was connected with the heart and stomach trouble I suffered from most all of the time My trouble finally got so bad I had to live on milk for three or four years. Still loved the coffee and wouldn't believe it could do such damage.
 "What I needed was to quit coffee and take nourishment in such form my stomach could digest. I had read so much about Postum, the cereal coffee, but never thought it would fit my case until one day I decided to quit coffee and give it a trial and make sure about 1t. So I got a package and carefully followed the directions.
 "Soon I found I began to get better and was able to eat carefully selected foods without the aid of pepsin or other digests and it was not long before I was really a new woman physically.
