ALL. FOND OF PEANUTS.
Delicacy Relished by All AnimalS-
Even the Hippopotamus Devcurs
Them with Pleasure.

1.-THE peanut is delicacy relished by
all creatures" said New York animal
lover Il have come to this conclusion
after having offered it to every animal
in the Central Park zoo, and having 1t
refused by none.
ooh, know it isn't allowed; but I'm
not one of those individuals who offer
animals indiscriminate numbers Of
hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese
sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for
that sort of nuisance the rule about
feeding is made. A single peanut can't
ruin the digestion of a camel-or Of
any other creature, for that matter,
and never visit the zoo without a
bag or two of those legumes to dis
tribute.
Yes, the camel is fond of them
very; and SO are the peacocks. The
hippopotamus obligingly opens his
mouth to let me toss one in, but the
mouth is SO large and the peanut so
small that l doubt If he can quite de-
eide whether he likes it or not.
"The kangaroo pokes his funny,
hOrse-like head out to me, munches the
peanut with relish, and then begs for
more. The elephant, deer, ostrich, and
even the lion, are all lovers Of the pea
nut"

TO SAVE HARD LABOR.
Care Table at Breakfast and Lunch
Saves Tablecloths-How to
Keep Table Nice.

A bare table at breakfast and
luncheon lessons the weekly wash,
which is always an interesting and
often a burdensome item in the one
servant establishment.
Square linen plate doilies are at
each cover, two larger ones, also
square, lie diamondwise through the
center OF the table. Between their
points is smaller round or square
dolly upon which stands the center
piece Of ferns or other growing
plants.
The hemstitched doilies are con-
venient for both the plates and cen.
terpieces, since they are much easier
laundered than the figured varieties,
One set of the latter is an addition
for special occasions.
BY this arrangement one table

lows only three in two weeks to be

To protect the table there may be
cut from sheets of asbestos, pieces
round, square or oblong, as the case
may be, to fit under the various
doilies.
A little rubbing Of the table with a
flannel cloth twice a week keeps it
in perfect condition.-Chicago Trib-

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch We're used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is, usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fianee Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

German Patent Office Fanlts.

The German patent Office comes in
for much censure. One would suppose
such an institution to exact no more
Of inventors than is needed to pay
current expenses, but in reality the
charges are so high that the state
pockets half the income as profit. 1t
is pointed out that for poor inventors
matters are almost as bad as they
were when Gutenberg, after inyenting
the art of printing, lived in poverty
and finally had to pawn his apparatus

The extraordinary popularity OF fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter Of great Inn
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, Is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. It's great strength as a stiff
ener makes half the usual quantity OF
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the

ABDUCTION
OF GIRL
ATTEMPTED?

A case which appears TO be surrounded
in mystery is in the hands OF the police
OF the Sixth station.
1t is believed to be an abduction, al
though the evidence that has been OBJ
tained does not clearly bear out that
assumption.
About noon today there appeared at
the home of an Armenian family. living
at S35 Manton avenue. three men, f. A..
Tillinghast. a constable of Cranston.
John Moriarity. another constable, and q
bill collector by the name Of John Barry.
These men with another, an Armenian,
called at the house with n writ OF re-
plevin which the police believed TO be
bogus and demanded the delivery from
a girl an Armenian, 16 years OF age, a
watch which had been bought on the
installment plan at the one of the down
town stores.
The family. consisting OF the girl and
her two uncles. received word yesterday
that there was to be trouble. They no
titled the Sixth station and Captain
Rowe sent Patrolman William f. Lee to
protect the household.
When the men showed up today Patrol
man Lee was there TO meet them and ask
ed them TO show their authority.
This they refused to do and sailed into
him.
For few moments there was n general
mix-up When the trouble was over some
brother officers came upon the scene and
the whole crowd was hustled off to the
9Th station. where they are held pending
an Investigation.
In the melee Constable Tillinghast sus-
tained confusion OF the forehead which
bled some He was hit with the butt OF
Patrolman Lees revolver.
The name of the uncle OF the girl fgur-
ing in the case is Levi Lazarain, and the
girl Is Margaret Boegain.
The name Of the man who remained In
the hack and who escaped could not be
learned In full: but the family stated that
his first name was Luigi and that he
lived a couple OF doors from the home OF
the girl
He Is known 10 have proposed maria ge
to Margaret only n few days ago. II s
from this array OF facts that abduction is
formulated in the minds of some.
