THE PURSER'S JOKE.
Why Religious Services Were Not Held
on That Trip.

Why Religious Services Were Not Held
on That Trip.
On most Of the big ocean steamers a
minister is usually found among the
passengers, and invariably he is called
upon on Sunday to conduct religious
service in the main dining saloon Oc-
casionally the man of the cloth seeks
the purser and asks If he may conduct
service on the Sabbath. A case of
this sort happened recently on one Of
the Red d steamers on the run from
New York to La Guayra. A young
minister who three days before the
steamer sailed had taken orders from
a seminary. and day later wife
asked the purser if he might conduct
religious service on the following day.
which was Sunday. The purser re-
piled that the dining saloon was at his
disposal and that the passengers
would be informed AT what hour
shall the service begin?' asked the
young minister. The purser rubbed
his brow a moment and replied that
he could begin at mine bells" The
minister and his bride appeared in the
dining saloon at o'clock in the morn
ing and waited four hours for the con-
gregation, which did not come. On
the following day he listened again for
mine BELLS" but heard them not.-New

SECRET WRITING.
How Letters May Be Made Safe From
Frying Eyes.


Frying Eyes.
Even with the most unromantic of
us occasions sometimes arise when we
should like to make some memoran-
dunn or write some letter which cannot
be read except by those we wish to do
so. Here Is a simple method:
Soak sheet of note paper In cold
water and lay it perfectly fat upon a
pane Of glass. Place above it another
sheet, dry this time. and on the upper
sheet write your message with a fairly
hard pencil. You now destroy the dry
paper and allow all the moisture to
evaporate from the wet piece. Don't
hold it to the fire, but let 1t dry nat
urally If you then examine it close
" you will see not the faintest trace OF
writing but if you moisten the paper
once more and hold it up to the light
you can read quite plainly all you
wrote 1t will show up like the water
mark on postage stamp. This meth
cd, by the way, is sometimes adopted
by convicts. They use their cruel
cans instead of glass and a sharp piece
of wood for a pencil
Another way is less dirty and even
more effective. Lay several sheets OF
paper on fat surface and write upon
the top one. Then remove the bottom
sheet, on which no impression appears
If you hold this in the vapor of iodine
however, the writing will turn brown
and be quite legible The explanation
starch, which on being pressed turns
to hydramide. a substance which is
acted on by iodine in the manner de.

WATER AS A BEVERAGE.
Flattest After an Apple and Coolest
After a Peppermint Drop.

Flattest After an Apple and Coolest
After Peppermint Drop.
"Water is the finest drink in the
world" said the epicure in little
things, but not every. one knows how
TO get the most enjoyment out of
drinking it.
"For instance, water should never be
drunk immediately after an apple has
been eaten. for as q beverage it then
has taste more fat and insipid than
MS If it had been taken from a cold
teakettle.
"On the other hand there is nothing
to my mind that makes water taste
more cool and refreshing mot counting
actual thirst than to eat peppermint
drop before taking a drink of it.
"And, while peppermint stands at the
mead, drink of water is particularly
and noticeaoly good after any wafer
or lozenge. Popcorn. on the other
hand, takes all the animation out Of a
subsequent swallow Of water.
Nor do bread and water go well to-
gether. The water takes the sweetness
out Of the bread, and the bread takes
the Hveliness out Of the water and
makes it fat beyond degree.
"The tyrant who first hit upon bread
and water as a prison fare of punish
ment knew his business.
1.-The enjoyment of drink Of water
varies, too, with what you drink It
from. You would not offer to a sick
person drink Of water in cup, but
rather in glass, the thinner the bet
ter. The fact that the water itself In
all its limpid clearness is present to
the sense of sight stimulates an expec-
tation that is gratified along with the
sense Of taste.
Il have. frequently observed men
about to drink some other beverage
than water. and it appears to be a
very common habit with them to re-
gard the liquid steadily for some Sec
onds before swallowing 1t, often hold
ing it on level with their eyes In
order to see it as clearly as possible.
"Surely this lesson should not be lost
upon the man who knows that there is
no drink like water. While you are
drinking it enjoy 1t.
"For my own part, like water from
a big tin dipper even better than from
thin tumbler, but best Of all drink
ing dishes for me is a newly made
birch bark dipper, all the better If I
have made It myself.

In the American Museum of Natural
