BIG WINNINGS ON THE DERBY.
Cashing In to the Tune of Hundreds Of
Thousands of Dollars.

The $4,000 which John w. Gates is
said to have won on Nealon the other
day look modest after all compared with
some winnings which have been gathered
in by bettors on Che English Derby.
Sir Joseph Hawley on three occasions
won from $4,000 TO 100000. viz: On
Teddington in 1851, Musjid in 1859 and
Beadsman in 1858. He would have won
as Ysuch ON Blue Gown in 1869 had he
noF hedged.
The largest sum ever taken BIZ one
man on the Derby is said by Baily s
Magazine to have gone 10 Mr.. Naylor on
Macaroni in 1863, but the amount is
not stated. Mr.. Chaplin won a larger
amount on Hermit in 1867, but did not
get half of it.
Mr.. Merry is said to have won f10O..
600 on Thormanby, but the real amount
was 10000.
The half length by which the Irish colt
Barbarian was beaten by Daniel
O'Rourke in 1852 made a difference OF
100000 to Bookmaker Davies. He lost
10000 on the EPSON week when West

LANDING IN ENGLAND.
Going Through the Custom House Is a
Simple Matter There.

Going Through the Custom House Is a
Simple Matter There.
There is no country where the matter
of landing from American passenger
ships is so easy and so expeditiously
done as England, says the Travel maya
zine. OF course, it is free trade coun-
try, the freest in the whole world.
There are duties levied on tobacco and
spirits, but travellers are allowed a half
pound of tobacco, IN any shape, and a
half pint of spirits, which also means
the same as perfume. Sugar is dutiable,
whether in grain, sweets or in Jam, but
small quantity is freely passed
In all cases, however, these goods must
be the actual property of the passenger,
and be for his use and control. Cocoa.
coffee and tea are also dutiable, as are
reprints of English books Outside of
these things, as named, passengers can
BRING in anything, motors, cycles, horses,
but not dogs, for which animal a not to
exceed six months quarantine awaits.
Keep dogs ON the American side.
The customs officials are life ap-
pointees-under the civil service-and will
be found most obliging and helpful. In
tact. they are a model to the customs
world, Tell the truth at all times 10
these officials and you will be all right.

SCULPTOR AT WORK IN JAZZ.
Accused of Wife Murder, He Models
Royal Group for the Government.

The Italian sculptor G. Cisariello, who
has been in prison at Naples for the last
eighteen months. has recently been al
lowed to practice his art in the prison.
The idea was suggested to him by pos
tai card sent to him by a friend with a
portrait of the Crown Prince of Italy
on il.
He sketched a group showing the King
and Queen and the boy and made appli.
cation for modelling clay and tools and
for permission to have n child of 3 years
70 visit him daily to serve as model for
Prince Humbert The tools and clay were
furnished, but the child model was re-
fused.
Cisariello went on with the work and
he has just finished il. Fellow prison
ers occasionally posed for the adult fig
ures but he had no material for the child
except the postal card
Notwithstanding this, the work is said
to have merit. The government has or
dcred the model to he cast in bronze and
the finished work is to be set up in
front Of the prison.
Cisariello's trial is expected to begin
next month.

SOME HELPFUL HINTS.

Face Lotion TO freshen the skin and
prevent wrinkles use 4 lotion made from
three ounces of rose water and one ia
/ bespoon of tincture of benzoin.
Oil Cloth Preservatives.-Warm some
hnseed oil until it will flow readily;
moisten a piece Of flannel slightly with
the oil and rub ever the floor covering
Rub so that rho cloth shines, but on no
account leave trace of oil to attract
dust.
Tooth Washes.-Two drops Of cam
phor may be put on the tooth brush and
used to advantage occasionally. Pure
CASTLE soap and warm water are excel
lent. and precipitated chalk favored with
a little wintcrgTeen is also good because
1t contains no grit to wear away the
euamel of the teeth.
Pantry Shelves-Do not put folded
papers on the shelves or paste paper
Hamburg along the edges, but stain and
varnish them or cover with enamel paint,
according to the finish of the room. Pa.
pefs will gather dust and become soiled.
Fbur bare shelves may be slightly damp,
arc kept at all times spotlessly clean.
Hot Plates for Pain.-Nothing is bet
ter than dry heat to quiet pain, and the
quickest and easiest way to apply it is
by means of common earthen or tin pie
plates heated and wrapped in wooden
cloth. They can be changed often, and
in mary cases of illness relief is sure
An old wooden shawl or an old blanket
cut into several pieces makes the best
wrapping for the plates.
Mushroom Sauce.-Musmoom sauce is
usually served with beef, If fresh mush
rooms are used they must be fried in
little melted butter and stewed in Just
enough water to cover and keep from
burning, and always with the heat mod
crate. Then add TO a rich brown sauce
using third as much broken mush-
rooms as there is OF sauce. If canned
mushrooms are used the button variety
is preferred. Cut them in halves and
merely heat in the sauce
Orange Flower Cream.-Melt four
ounces oil of sweet almonds, six drains Of
white wax and six drains of spermacetl
together. Add one and one-half ounces
OF glycerine to two ounces of orange
flower water and dissolve two drains OF
boraX in it. Pour slowly into the melted
fats and stir continuously. Add fifteen
drops Of oil of neroli, fifteen drops of oil
of bigarade, and fifteen drops of oil of
petit grain. This is used as a skin food.
First wash the face well in hot water
and good soap, rinse well in water as
hot as can be borne, and repeat the rims
