GRANTS CARRIAGE "MovED ON"

The recent episode of the Belasco
theater here when the presidents
coachman had difficulty with the
manager because he would not move
his carriage, although nobody was in
the carriage and it was waiting for
some White House guests, reminded
an old police sergeant OF time when
he was stationed at the Baltimore q
Ohio station here.
Among his other duties he had to
keep carriages from standing at the
curb directly in front of the station
entrance, it being necessary to keep
that place clear for carriages that
were coming and going at that point.
President Grant drove to the station
to meet one of the incoming trains.
While the officer was in another place
the carriage stopped in front OF the
station. When the officer turned he
noticed the presidents rig standing
there and waited for it to move along.
When it did not move and no one
alighted the officer supposed that the
president had gone into the station.
you know as well as / do that
you can not stand there said the
officer to the presidents coachman.
do you know whose carriage this
is?" was the only answer of the man
on the box
THAT makes no difference. You
must move" But there was no move
on the part of the coachman to stir
from the place.

side, "did you hear what that officer
said?" And the head of the president

of the carriage window The carriage

Provoking Misunderstanding

The new girl at the summer resort
was letting her arm hang idly over
the side of the boat and dipping her
fairy fingers in the cool ripplig water.
"All this sort of thing is new to
me-" she said. How do you do when
you hook big fish,"
you have to play him with some
skill,'' answered the girl who was
handling the oars. Don't let him
have his head too much. Yield lit
tie to his impetuosity, but keep firm
grasp. Accept his presents, such as
candy and the like, but
II was speaking of real fish, you
mean thing!" Indignantly exclaimed
the other.-Chicago Tribune.

EARLY ASPARAGUS

Asparagus will grow with very little
heat and if it is desired to replace the
old plants with young ones take up the
old roots and place them in the cellar.
Even frame will suffice if it protects
them from the frost In this way the
asparagus sprouts will be ready for use
month or two before they can be
taken from the open ground. By set
ting them closely together large
numebr of shoots can be obtained, but
these roots are not considered of much
value after they have yielded one crop.
Early rhubard stalks can be produced
much in the same way.

Goldfish and Cheese Sauce

Cut neat square or oblong of cod
fish; lay in salt and water for half
an hour; wipe dry and rub all over
with melted butter and lemon juice.
In the bottom of your baking pan,
under the grating and just not touch
ing the fish, have cupful Of veal
stock or weak gravy, strained. Pep
per and salt the fish; cover and bake
ten minutes to the pound. Take up
then and sift dry, fine crumbs thickly
all over it. Put dots of butter on
these. Set in the oven, uncovered, to
brown while you strain the gravy from
the pan. Thicker with butter rolled
in Drowned flour, add the juice OF
half a lemon, four tablespoonful OF
grated Parmesan cheese and little
onion juice. Boil one minute, pour a
few spoonfuls carefully upon the fish,
the rest into a boat.

AS to the Household Filter

What can we do in the private
home to stop the entrance of the dis
ease germ, provided we believe dang
er exists? The sanitary experts say
that no small filter which allows a
good stream of water to pass re-
moves bacteria. In the sale of such
filters and the belief in their eff
cheney lies peril to the public, who so
often believe that couple of inches
of sand or charcoal preserves them
from all harm. AS matter of fact,
expert engineers are practically
agreed that eighteen inches of sand
above drains, and that we'll covered
with sediment filter, are necessary to
obtain efficiency. Some of the larger
household filters are efficient when
filled with fine filtering matters, such
as sand stone and infusoriaI earth,
which only allow water to pass drop
by drop. These are usually provided
with either storage reservoirs or
joined in a series of filters so that a
quantity may be obtained at once de-
spite the slow rate of liberation. One
simple safeguard is always at hand,
and should never be forgotten-the
boiling of the drinking water. No
precaution is better in time of cpl
denies One point should be made
clear, individual protection can never
possess fraction of the value than
belongs to municipal control, any
more than the individual fire exiting
usher can compete with city de-
partment.-Hollis Godfrey in the At
,lantic.

To restore faded upholstery, beat

Catalogues or muskmelons are best

SHE GOT A JOB

There is true story of one young
woman who had devoted almost
year to pulling wires and using all
possible influence to gain an interview
with certain theatrical manager. At
last her hopes were realized; she got
her appointment and she was finally
ushered into the managers private
Office. He received her most cordially
and offered her chair Thank you"
she said, gratefully, Il think | will
sit down. I've been just ten months
getting here and Tn little tired"
And the manager, who is really
great man and hence has sense of
humor, promptly engaged her.-Outing

Household Hints

Nothing baked will keep we'll UNI
less it is thoroughly cooled before
being put away.
Keep the milk bottles tightly closed,
even in the refrigerator. New milk
should never be mixed with old.
When boiling a pudding remember
to place a stick in the bottom OF the
saucepan. This will prevent the pud-
ding burning.
Melted butter used for basting is
used in the proportion of one table
spoonful of butter, melted to one cup
full of hot water. Keep hot while
using.
To polish cut glass, wash it well
with soapsuds, rinse and then, after
drying it with a cloth. polish it with
sawdust and washleather. The glass
will be brilliant after this treatment.
A peppermint plant in pot is as
good as a fly paper to rid roof OF
those annoying pests-the flies. There
are several varieties of plants which
the flies do not love, but the pepper
mint is their especial aversion They
will hurry to leave the room where
it is.
To keep sandwiches fresh, the tin
boxes in which sweet waters are pur-
chased are handy receptacles in
which to stow away sandwiches for
evening lunches. Packed carefully,
with lids nicely adjusted and set on
ice until needed, the sandwiches are
temptingly moist.
Ink stains on white articles may be
removed with oxalic acid. A teaspoon
full of hot water will be found suffi-
cient The stains should be rubbed
with this as soon as possible after
they have been made. When the stain
is removed, carefully wash out the
acid with pure water.
Common house ammonia Is much
better for cleaning porcelain than
sand soaps. Many of the stains on
porcelain tubs, wash basins and sinks
are caused by allowing them to be in
jured. When new porcelain is smooth
and if rubbed with sand soaps it be-
comes rough and it is quite impossible
to remove the discoloration.
In the refrigerator, use clean, flat
dishes to hold watever Is on the low
er shelves. A good habit to acquire
is that of washing such dishes daily,
partly for cleanliness, partly to guard
against the possibility Of anything be.
