A Cooks Contempt.

The wife of well-known naval
officer in Washington recently adver-
tised for a cook. Though the estab-
ishment presided over by the officers
wife was in accord with their undis-
puted social position. yet it is by no
means pretentious, for the naval man
has no means aside from his salary.
Consequently when one applicant. for
the position of cook announced to the
wife that her price would be $50 q
month she was told that such wages
were out Of the question. The cook,
not deigning to notice the remark,
went on at length to give her super
ior qualifications, touching especially
on her ability to get up smart lunch
cons and dinners. Again the lady Of
the house said that she would not pay
$50 for a cook. Seeing that her deter
mination was unaltered the applicant
for the place prepared to take her de-
parture. AS she was nearing the door
she remarked, patronizingly: II see!
You are trying to live within your in
come"

TUBERCULOSIS AND MUMMIES.
Dr.. Sorgnac's Idea That Disterment
Set Free Deadly Germs.

"Egyptology versus Health" was the
title of monograph received at the
headquarters of the tuberculosis Insu.
tute Of Chicago, in which it was al
legged that the great spread Of tuber-
culosis in Europe and America in the
last one hundred years found it's eau
sation in the disinterment and ship
ment broadcast over the land Of the
mummies which had reposed so long
in the tombs Of the Pharaohs. The
monograph was written by DR.. Rata
felle Sorgnac, one of the lecturers at
the Sorbonne in Paris, who was an in
terested visitor at the recent tuber-
culosis exhibit in this city.
THAT the disinterred mummies
started the spread of the tuberculosis
germs in Egypt cannot be doubted"
says DR.. Sorgnac in his monograph.
"These germs live for thousands Of
years, as has easily been proven, and
the exhumation of the bodies, even
the well-preserved ones, caused an
epidemic Of consumption among the
workmen and scholars who first ex-
humed the cases. It is also well
known that the keepers Of the mummy
cases have been subject to the dis
ease The start Of tuberculosis in
France in serious sense may be
traced to the great importation Of
mummies and mummy cases at the
time Of the Napoleonic invasion of
Egypt, and this start gave the disease
its first great foothold in Europe,
whence it has spread all over the
Western world. Dead bodies may not
secrete the germs, but dead bodies
are undoubtedly a favorite lodging
place for the tubercular baciln."

Wal! Papers and Nerves.

There has lately been a suggestion
that black wall paper might have a
soothing effect on the nerves of those
to whom the overgilding and decora-
ton of rooms has become an ana
thema, but it is more than doubtful
that such sable surroundings would
ever become popular. Our walls have
more to do with our good spirits than
many. people imagine, and I know OF
one instance recently where the head
of a household, not very long bene-
dict, has taken an inveterate dislike
to his abode. Though he is not
aware of the fact, the aversion is no
doubt inspired by the dining-room
paper which he himself chose, over
riding the opinion of his wife, whose
achievements in regard to drawing.
room and bedrooms were all marked
successes. The dining-room, dark in
aspect, to begin with, is papered in a
dull, dark blue paper, artistic enough
in its way, but not by any means con-
ducive to hilarity, says Woman's Life.
In London, sunless for so many
months, we need all the light and
stimulation of sun obtainable, and
many a wall paper is to be had which
combines artistic feeling with cheer
fulness. There are few things harder
to choose successfully than wall
papers, so many things have to be
considered.

An Unhappy Comparison.

Sir Charles Russell when he was
practicing at the bar was a noted
cross-examfner, says Laws Notes, and
it was a shrewd witness who could
circumvent him. On one occasion at
least, however, the laugh was turned
on him by an innocently intended an
swer. He was cross-examining a wit
ness in regard to certain hoof prints
left by a horse in a sandy soil.
How large were the prints?" asked
the learned counsel. Were they as
large as my hand?" holding up his
hand for the witness to see.
"Oh, no." said the witness honest
ly: 1T was just an ordinary hoof."
The examination was temporarily sus-
pended till order could be secured In
the Court room.

Brief Sketch of His Life.

Russell Sage, nestor of American
fnanciers, was born on August 4,
1916, in Verona, Oneida County, New
fork, where his parents, Elisha and
Pendence Sage, members Of little
company Of pioneers from Connecticut
had halted while on their westward
march in quest Of a homestead.
At the age of II years Russell Sage
began his career as an errand boy
in the grocery store of his brother,
Henry, in Troy. At the age of %
he established a wholesale grocery OF
his own in that place. In 1857 the
young merchant had acquired a for
tune estimated at almost half mil
lion dollars, vast amount for those
days, and determined to retire from
active business life. He had, however,
already become interested in rail
roads, which he kept up through life,
being at the time of his death an
officer and director in twenty-five
great railway and telegraph corpora
ticns.
An incident which startled the
whole country occurred in Mr.. Sage's
Office in the old Arcade building, No.
II Broadway, on December 4, 1891. On
that day he was visited by Henry P.
Norcross, Of Boston, a man OF un-
balanced mind, who demanded an i'm
mediate gift CT s1,200,0Oe. When the
demand was refused Norcross drop
ped a dynamite bomb upon the floor,
the explosion of which decapitated
,No-cross, killed one of the clerks and
wrecked the whole Office. Mr.. Sage
was only slightly injured by the ex-
plosion. One clerk who was injured
claimed that he was used as a shield
by Mr.. Sage, and brought suit to re-
cover damages. Mr.. Sage fought the
case, but the clerk finally recovered
damages.
Mary stories are told of the eccen-
tricities of Mr.! Sage. He was re.
puted to be a hard man to part from
his money. He was never well dress
ed, and it is said that he always Or
dered the cheapest lunch possible.
It has been said that Russell Sage
and Hetty Green were the two hard.
est persons in the United States to
get money out OF.
Mr. Sage bqasted that he never
took a vacation, and that he was al
ways the first man at his Office.

RUSSELL SAGE NO MORE.
Grim Reaper at Last Claims Aged and
Eccentric MuIti-MlIonaire
Of New York City.

Russell Sage, aged I:ulti-nl:llionaire
Of New York City, died suddenly Sun
day at his country home, Cedar
croft" at Lawrence, L. l. The imme-
diate cause of death was heart failure
resulting from complication OF dis
eases incident to old age. Mle vet
eran financier would have celebrated
his ninetieth birthday on August 4.
Mr.. Sage had been in exceptionally
good health since bis arrival at his
summer home about six months ago.
At noon Sunday he was seized with a
sinking spell and collapsed, falling
into inconsistencies about two hours
before his death, which occurred at
4:30 o'clock.
1t is generally believed that Mr..
Sage's vast interests will not be Sc
.riously affected by his death.

Fashion Notes,

Silk muslins, some flowered, some
with fancy weave and flowers are
seen.
The cotton taffeta checks make
very pretty, inexpensive shirtwaist
suits. They are mercerized.
A beautiful ruche is made Of white
coque feathers and fringed box plait-
ed cream white silk in alternate rows.
Robes of white embroidery and lace,
all ready to make up much cheaper
than one could make them, are on
sale. Some of them are charming.
Some extremely pretty effects are
made in point desprit and other nets,
with little founces piped with colored
velvets and a band or sash to CORE
spond.
A long pair Of white kid gloves,
embroidered on the back Of the hand
in pastel shades in small flowers and
some distance up a row of hemstitch-
ing and more flowers is very strik-
ing.
There is a very handsome handbag
in green enameled leather, having a
slender vine in gold running across
the bottom, from which came flowers
in purple enamel and green enameled
leaves.
A very charming dance frock for
young girl was made of painted mus
lin, the design pale yellow roses and
foliage, and hemmed with soft ivory
duchesse satin, the top finished with
inch-wide killings, both of muslin and
satin.
A charming form of trimming, and
one which should appeal to the econ7
omically-minded woman, is the piping
with bands of satin or velvet. This
form of decorations costs much more
in time and skill than it does in
money.
An economical as we'll as effective
fashion is that Of providing muslin or
voile skirts with a crossway hem Of
silk. This is generally about four
inches deep, and may be headed by a
tiny frill, either of the same or of the
material composing the dress.
1t is several years since straight
silk betting has been worn. The rea-
son for the revival is ostensibly with
snug little coats the betting defines
the waist line trinity, yet not obtru-
sively. But the real reason is prob
ably only that it has been 'out of
style" long enough to be new again.
Odd makes of tussor silk and
rough, wooly-faced satins promise to
be among the early dress fabrics;
and I do not think l have yet men
toned the curious Zibelines, consist
ing of a rough shot or flake, on very
smooth surface. These in black are
considered especially smart; also in
purple, black and gray, though for
summer they'll be a trifle warm.

A STEEL-LINED BLOUSE.
Found by Philadelphia Police in Prob.
ina Chinese Shooting.

q
Complete verifcation of the state
ment that members Of the warring
factions in Chinatown wear coats Of
mail to protect them from the bullets
and knife thrusts Of their enemies was
found recently when the police In tn.s
vestigating the shooting OF Willie Lee
York, found an armored coat in the
room of Lee Pock his alleged assaa-
ant. The coat is made after the ordi-S
nary style Of a Chinamanis loose
blouse and is Of blue jean or heavy
drilling. On the body it looks like an
ordinary laundryman's working blouse
but when the police picked It up they
found out differently.
The garment from hem to neck was
padded with steel in the shape OF
pieces about an inch and half square.
These do not lap like scales but are
brought together, edge to edge, and
held with loops Of wire. That the
metal-lined coat might conform to the
body the pieces Of steel were pound
ed and made slightly concave. ACROSS
the body of the garment back and
front is apparently seam, bat exam
ination showed that the coat was
made Of double thickness in the lower
portion, and underneath the apron
like flap in front there was a long
pocket like a holster,
The garment weighs all told about
fifty pounds, and is about three-fourths
of an inch in thickness. 1t was turn
ed over to supt. Taylor and will be
taken into court as an exhibit in the
case of Lee Pock who was held at
hearing before Magistrate Gallagher
to await the result of York's injuries
