MADE AN AMAZING MlxUP.
Queer Assortment Of Married Couples
In Hungary.

After being employed for 40 years
own wife, a man named Ruzizka, once
wealthy, but now penniless. and i'm
beetle, has been received into the mu-
nicipal workhouse Of the town of
Agram, in Hungary. Ruzizka, left an
orphan with q good deal of property,
married in 1863 Camilla Ostvic, a pro-
fessional singer. Returning from the
church, the bride introduced her hus-
band to DR.. Theodor Sparcek, a law
yer. Sparcek brushed the bridegroom
aside and walked on ahead, enjoying
4 t~ete-a-tete with the bride. In a lit
tie while he turned to the bridegroom
and informed him that he (Dr. Spar
cek) and the bride were going on q
honeymoon trip. The rightful hus-
band might come, too, If he acted as
valet. The husbands poor wits seem
to have been scattered forever by the
announcement. He was helpless, and
accompanied his wife on her elope-
mont. In this manner all three lived
uneventfully until 1885, when the
woman died. DR.. Sparcek then lost no
time in finding q new wife," but
seemed d~isinclined to marry himself.
Under threats Of dismissal from his
~valetship, the imbecile was obliged to
go through the marriage ceremony for
the second time. Another 81 years
passed quietly, when suspicion was
aroused by Sparcek selling Ruzizka's
properties. The guilty lawyer then
fed with the second Nine. Ruzizka,
leaving his unfortunate valet" abso-
lutely p%enniless.

PROPER SERVING MEANS MUCH.
Dishes Are More Palatabie When
Made Attractive.

A plain lettuce salad assumes a diff.
terent aspect when served in ruddy
tomato cup or shining green pepper
cases, and a rosy ring of tomato jelly
may inclose a plain celery or endive
salad. Salads can be decorated with
chopped green herbs, hard boiled
eggs. radishes, cut to represent little
tulips, olives and nasturtium leaves
and blossoms.
Potatoes can be most decorative.
Mashed potatoes are pressed In the
form of tiny pyramids with fiat tops.
These are dipped in the white of an
egg, then in fine minced parsley, CIV
ing the effect of small green pyramids,
through which the white of the pota-
toes CLEANS %temptingly. These may
be used with small pyramids cut from
stale bread and fried a delicate
brown in hot butter. They are ar
ranged about a dish alternately with
stars or cubes of lemon between.
Curries, ragouts or fricassees are
more ornamental If served in a border
Of rice or mashed potatoes. These
are nodded in pretty futed forms and
decorated by brushing the rims and
raised points with the white of a raw
egg, and then s%prinkling with chopped
parsley. Small baskets about the size
Of a teacup are made of mashed pota-
toes to hold creamed chicken, fish or
oysters. The potato is forced in a
rotary motion through a pastry bag,
brushed yer with egg white, and
placed in a cool vel to dry. Handles
are emulated by sprigs of parsley
arched to meet above, and green rims
are given with chopped parsley.

CLEVELAND'S BRIEF
Threatened Legislation Forcing Som
panies to Invest in the States from
Which Their Funds Are Received

New York, March announcement
was made today that Grover Cleveland
has submitted a brief to the Association
of Life Insurance Presidents, of which
he is the head, i'll reference to certain
threatened legislation which would force
them to invest their funds i'll the various
States in proportion to the volume OF
business transacted in those States. In
his brief Mr.. Cleveland says:
1t seems to be quite apparent that if
the best legislative results are to be
reached by safeguarding all the inter
ests in any way related to life insurance
and by subscribing the peoples interests
in the premises by the passage OF whole
sale laws, those who make our laws
should be free from all vindictive feel
ing and misleading prejudices, and duly
guarded against dangerous disregard OF
safe and conservative business rules.
In many of the States contemplating
such legislation there Is normal
Ihealthy demand for all or nearly all the
securities contemplated i'll pending bills
which are so absolutely safe and I'M
questioned as to excuse life insurance
lcompanies in accepting them as securi-
lties for their trust funds. And yet they
iare forced to purchase in such market

able, the manipulated advance invite6
