Mother and Girl Guard GaribaIdi's
Tomb AGAINST Son.

J, Rome.-If the admirers Of Garibaldi,
the Italian patriot. wish him to rest
in peace" according to the inscrip-
ton or his tomb, something will have
to be done quickly.
The quarrel between the children
and the widow of Garibaldi over the
tomb of the latter on the island of
Caprera, has reached an acute stage.
Garibaldi's son, Ricciotti, claims
that he is entitled to the possession
Of the tomb of his father. The widow
and daughter of the liberator, how
ever, emphatically declare they will
not allow Ricciotti to put his foot on
the island, as they allege he wishes to
steal the body and transport it to
Rome.

Woman Holds Up Man While Asleep.
Pittsburg, Pa.-Mrs. Matte Gilmore
of Finleyville died at the South Side
hospital this afternoon of a fractured
skull, and the police and hospital au-
thorities are trying to figure out
whether Mrs. Gilmore was a female
highwayman or merely a somnambu-

A week ago John Walker, a Finley
vile miner, met Mrs. Gilmore on a
dark and lonely road. He declares
.that Mrs. Gilmore held him up and
took SIS from him.
The next day Mrs. Gilmore was ar
rested. She declared that she remem-
bered nothing about meeting Walker
or holding him up, and insisted that
if she had committed such an act 1t
was while in a somnambulistic state,
In spite Of this statement Mrs. Gilmore
was held for court, and furnished $500
bail. /,

yawns like cavern and the stomach
distends to hold body even larger

IMPORTANCE OF THE BELT.
Dress Accessory That Makes or Mars
Costume.

With the departure of the corselet
skirt the ceinture is receiving renewed
attention, and is, as or yore, capable
of making of marring a costume Any
one can arrange a ceinture in FASH
ion, but only the first-class modiste re-
cognizes the full worth of bestowing
the most careful attention on what
in appearance is merely a folded or
fitted belt. The one in vogue at pres
ent is only shaped at the upper edge.
A very common mistake is found in
the delusion that a ceinture can be-
relied upon to pull a doubtful fit into
law and order at the waist, whereas,
all that can i1stifiably be expected OF
this adjunct is that it accentuates
fit already contaminated. And when,
oh! when will the lady of embonpoint
recognize that buckle worn at the
back is the sole prerogative of the ele-
gantly slim f1gure.-Home Magazine.

MaNALs OF BIRD WORLD.
They Steal Eggs from the Nests o
Other Birds.

A subject which has exercised me
this summer has been as to what
bird it LIS with a bill seemingly small
er than jays which plumbers others
nests, breaking and sucking the eggs,
says writer in Country Life.
In one small piece of hedge l
found one blackb1rd's and two
thrushes' nests all treated in the
same way, the three showing among
them the wreckage of II eggs, all
similarly pierced and emptied The
missed thrush has been suspected of
the offense, and in this case 1 should
suppose it to be the missed thrush if
it were not that a pair of butcher
birds nested in the same hedge.
1t is perhaps unjust to suspect the
butcher bird on no better evidence
than it's mere proximity to the scene
of the crime, and it may be ques-
toned if the shrike would dare to
rifle the nest of either a blackbird or
a thrush. A suggestion which I
have not seen made and which I
throw out only as a possibility is
that the culprit is no burglar, but
neither more nor less than one of
the parent birds themselves.

Utensils for JeIly-Makinu,

= For jelly-making new granite or
enameled ware kettle is preferable to
the old-fashioned porcelain-lined or
iron pot that has been in use year
after year. It is not an extravaganza
to buy new kettle each season. A
new wooden spoon is better than an
old one which has probably been used
for stirring catsup, chilli sauce, or
pickles. The wood retains the odor
of onions, and the heat of the boil
ing fruit juice is apt to bring the
flavor out, which is often disagreeable
After emptying jelly glass or fruit
jar, it should be washed, the cover
replaced, and put away in the closet
for use next year. 1t is economy to
buy new rubber rings for your jars as
you need them.

Garnishina for Cold Dishes.

Cold dishes lend themselves more
readily to garnishing than hot ones
For all kinds of cold meats aspic jelly
is always acceptable and easily pre-
pared. 1t may be made of strong,
clear chicken stock, using half pack
age of gelatine to each pint. Season
and put away to chill. Strained pulp
of fresh or canned tomatoes may be
used instead of chicken stock. Small
boiled or fried potatoes make an ex-
cellent garnish for fish, with the ad-
'dition of parsley and lemon. Hard
boiled eggs are. suitable with boiled
fish. SMALL vegetables, such as peas
and beans, and carrots and turnips
cut into small pieces are appropriate
with meat.
