Recipe for Mint Punch.

Wash and bruise fresh spearmint
and strip off enough leaves to fill a
quart bowl. Cover with boiling water
and steep for ten minutes. Strain,
chill and add one cup of grape juice
and one cup of strawberry or rasp-
berry juice. either fresh or canned.
Sweeten to taste, using a syrup made
by boiling equal quantities of sugar
and water for ten minutes. This and
all similar drinks are much more
bland when sweetened with this syrup
than when raw sugar is used Mint
punch may be varied by using these
fruits, such as lemons or currants; a
few tiny sprigs of mint should float
on the punch bowl or pitcher.-Good
Housekeeping.

BULLETS FOR FALLIERES
TWO SHOTS ARE FIRED AT THE
PRESIDENT OF FRANCE.
Neither Takes Effect-WouId-Be As

trate's Life Is Thought Crazy.

Paris.-The national fete Sunday
was marred by dastardly attempt on
the life of President Fallieres by Leon
Maille, naval reservist of Havre,
who, IL is believed, is suffering from
the mania of persecution. Maille fired
two shots at the president but did not
hit him. He was at once placed I'M
der arrest.
On account of the activity OF the
anti-militarists, who tried to organize
demonstration against the army
throughout France Sunday, exception
al precautions were taken to safe
guard President Fallieres. The at
tempt on his life occurred on the
Avenue des Champs -Elysees while the
president was returning to the palace
from Longchamrs, where he had re-
viewed the garrison of Paris in the
presence of 100000 enthusiastic peo-
Pile.
The carriage had safely emerged
from the Bots de Boulogne, when at
the corner of Lesueur street Maille
from the curb fired two shots point

cession. Miraculously no one was hit.
Two policemen seized Maille, who
made no resistance, but the police
with difficulty prevented the irate
crowd from lynching the prisoner un-
til Gordon of reserves came up and
conducted him To the station. There
Maille refused to give any reasons for
his act, saying:
"The revelations have are so grave
and serious that i will only make
them before magistrate for transmits
sion to the chief of state. 1t is mat
ter between the government and me.
| am the victim of many villainies."
Some of the witnesses of the shoot
ing said that Maille fired in the air.
1t is believed that the man partici-
pated in the. recent seamens strike
and that his mind had been unhinged
by fancied grievances. Ii is believed
also that he aided in the revolutionary
agitation of the General Federation of
Labor and the anti-militarists. There
is no reason to suspect plot as Mail
lie arrived here from Rouen only Sat
urday night.

CARE OF GARMENTS
PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY THE
SMART WOMEN.
Neatness and Economy Result from
the Proper Putting Away of
Dresses and Accessories in
the Best Manner.

The woman who knows how to put
away her belongings is not only neat.
but economical, and generally smart
In appearance. When she comes in
from walk she never hangs up her
coat by the loop inside the collar. IL
she puts il away in the cupboard she
uses coat hanger; If she leaves it
around the room, knowing that she
may need ii soon, she disposes it over
the back of a chair, that will keep it
in shape.
The skirts of her gowns never have
stringy look, because they are al
ways hooked and then hung up by two
loops. For a tailor-made skirt she
uses a small coat hanger with the
ends bent down a little. This keeps
the skirt in excellent shape, and
causes it to hang in even folds.
The strings of her underskirt are
tied, and the garment is hung by the
loops, thus never showing a hump
where it has rested on the hook.
For the same reason her blouses
are always hung by the armholes, un-
less they have hanging loops. Hand
some ones are stuffed with tissue pa
per, and are then laid in drawers or
boxes.
Shoes are easily kept in shape by
slipping pair of trees in them as
soon as they are removed from the
feet. IL trees are not available, news
paper will do, if it is stuffed in tight.
1t is well to roll each veil on stiff
piece of paper; single fold will often
spoil the set of veil and sometimes
even mar the expression of the face.
Gloves should always be removed
by turning them wrong side OUT they
should then be turned back again,
blown into shape, and each finger
smoother out.
Hats, of course, should be kept out
of the dust and placed so that the
trimming will not be disarranged.
Furs, also, should be protected from
dust, and a muff should always be
stood on end.
If women realized the most of their
belongings are lying idle more than
they are being worn they would, per-
haps, be more attentive to these little
niceties, which are small things in
themselves, but go far toward keep
ing them looking trim. The perfec-
ton of each detail is noticeable in the
woman who has mastered the art Of
putting things away.

To Polish Pianos.

The best duster for polished wood
is a good chamois skin of medium
size. The chamios should be dipped
in clear water, either hot or cold,
wrung very dry. so that it feels mere
ly damp, and then rubbed over the
wood to be polished until the chamois
looks dirty. Wash it clean and wiring
out hard again before going on. A
little ammonia added to the water
will aid in removing finger marks.
The water should be changed often
and the chamois kept clean. Equal
parts of turpentine and linseed oil
will remove white marks on furniture
caused by water; rub it in with
soft rag and wipe off with a perfectly
clean cloth.

British Government Grants Novelist
Pension Of $3.50 Year.

London - The appearance of

Inquiries were at once made concern

The Italian Theatre.

New York at last has a permanent
Italian theatre, although the beginnings
Of the institution are modest enough.
There are prospects that before long an
attempt will DO made to house the Italian
drama in more ambitious fashion. It's
present abode will serve in the meantime
10 show whether or not an established
Italian playhouse will prosper here.
IL has certainly been hard TO kill the
effort to provide our Italian citizens with
drama in their own tongue. ~unassuming
as the manner of its performance has
always been. For more than a decade
these players have moved about from one
unoccupied theatre downtown to another.
Offering their services in the interval in
assembly halls or sther available shelters
Of equally un~pretsntious character. The
outlying districts Of Greater New York
have not been neglected, for to them
also the Italian actors have carried their
talents. During these years they have
presented a comprehensive repertoire.
From farces in the Neapolitan dialect
to the comedies of GoLDONI and from
GIACoMETTI to D'ANNUNZIo the choice of
national dramatists has ranged, while the
foreign stage has supplied such a wide
variety Of drama as the names Of DEN
merry and SARDoU suggest. No taste
has been ignored in the broad appeal
made to their cOmpatriOts. II the melo-
dramatic The Hyena Of the Graveyard"
was presented on n night, Hamlet"
was likely TO follow on the next.
Such persistent vitality on the part Of
an institution 70 meagrely endowed in
material sense seems TO indicate q
