Take half a pound of crustless bread slices in as much milk as they will absorb. Add four beaten eggs, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, four of warm butter, a quar- ter of pound of boiled and grated chestnuts, dusting of cinnamon.

ALTAR OF WESTMINSTER.
It Is One of the Wonders of the
 Great Cathedral.

It Is One of the Wonders of the
 Great Cathedral.
 The altar of Westminster cathedral consists of a huge block of Cornwall gray granite, unpublished, but fine axed. It Is twelve feet long and four feet wide, without any gradus-the six great candlesticks, with a crucifix of corresponding size standing alone upon 1t, as at St. Peters In Rome, in per feet simplicity, says the London Trib- une.
 The baldachino, on the other hand, is gorgeous piece of work on which no labor or expense has been spared. It consists entirely of marble, decorated lavishly with lapis lazuli and mother of-pearl. It is supported on eight great pillars of yellow Veronese marble. The pillars are triumphs of quarrying. Nothing of the kind has ever been at tempted before, and 1t was doubtful whether columns of such proportions could be produced in single pieces. They rest upon handsome plinths of verde antico inset with panels of pur- pie brescia. At the top of the pillars magnificent capitals of white marble support a perfect marble canopy. The platform beside the altar and the steps leading to the core" are beautifully inlaid with panels of brescia.
 But no description or photograph or drawing can convey an Idea of the wonderful floor of irdescent light which Is reflected from the altar when fully illuminated. The baldachino was intended by the architect to be the jewel of the cathedral and his aim has been realized. The brilliance of the effect Is, of course. heightened by the somber color of the brick walls around and the vastness of the cathedral. The baldachino Is forty feet in height. or as high as an ordinary three-story house, but Is nevertheless In perfect proportion and harmony with the great building. It will serve also to indicate to those who cannot hope to see the completion of the cathedral what a magnificent place it will be when 1t is finished.

WANDERING BOUNDARY LINE.
The Missouri Shifting It's Course Be- tween Iowa and Nebraska.

t"fch hoWH Hnu
 The Missouri river has been making trouble again, and as result the Iowa and Nebraska Legislatures have been asked to appoint commission to ne- gotiate a swap of land so that the river may again be the actual boundary line between the States.
 School children are taught that Iowa Is bounded on the west by the Missouri river. The maps bear out this state ment, but the map makers have not been on the ground lately. If they had been they would have discovered that in the past year the Missouri has been busy adding some of the State of Iowa to Its west bank and part of the State of Nebraska to its east bank.
 Every few years the river forsakes part of its old channel and seeks new one. Four years ago Nebraska and South Dakota had to 1o lot of reconstructing of the State line, and Nebraska lost several hundred citizens and some fifty farms. but came very near to getting the city of Yankton In return. A little time before that Nebraska and Missouri got into the federal supreme court over a question of Jurisdiction over an island in the river opposite Nemaha County, Neb. The river cut off section of the coun- ty and made an island of it, placing 1t close to the State of Missouri line. The newly made islanders protested against being so suddenly transferred into Mis- sourians, and persist in voting In Ne braska.
 Within the last few years changes in the rivers course have transferred a lot of Iowa land in what was once known as the East Omaha bottoms to the Nebraska side, while other changes a little further south have transferred part of Sarpy County. Nebraska, to Iowa. As a result the children In each new section have to pay for tuition tn the counties of which they are not le- gally part, and are unable to take advantage of the free schools on the other side of the river toward the sup port of which they pay taxes. Land titles are also mixed, and as there Is also conflict of jurisdiction 1t Is be coming a sort of no mans land for criminals.

EEL TRAVELS THROUGH HOSE.

wriggIes Out Finally After Causing
 a Crowd and Blocking Traffic.
 A street cleaners tussle with hose that cut up queer antics and at last re. fused to work, furnished amusement and finally a surprise to large crowd at One Hundred and Forty-six street and Amsterdam avenue, New York City. and halted street car traffic for a quarter of an hour. The trouble be gan a few minutes after the hose had been attached to a hydrant at the cor ner and the operator had made good job of flushing the avenue for half a block to the north.
 Suddenly the stream diminished, then switched ofr at a tangent. next shot forth a stream in graceful spiral, and then refused to work. The street cleaner closed one eye and squinted down the brass nozzle. He was rewarded by being nearly knocked of his feet by a full blast from the hose
 He dropped 1t on the car tracks and mopped his face, while a crowd of schoolboys shouted derisiyely. Then the crowd began to collect.
 The man with the hose became angry. The hose began to act more strangely than before. It wriggled and squirmed and shot forth small twisted jets internationally. Passen- gers from the cars It blocked crowded around the street cleaner, their anger at being delayed overcome by their curiosity over the weird contortions of the length of rubber.
 "The things alive" screamed a woman, and the crowd edged back.
 For a full minute water ceased to flow from the nozzle. Then . small boy advised:
 Blow in It, White Wings"
 The street cleaner accepted the sug- gestion and blew with all his force. A moment later, under heavy pressure, out shot a squirming eel about fifteen inches long. There was a chorus of screams from the women spectators, but the street cleaner pocketed the eel "to back me up when I tell about it," as he said.
 Then the hose was dragged on the car tracks and traffic was resumed New York Times.

LOST TRACK OF HIM.


 In town of few thousand inhaoit- ants In the interior of Pennsylvania there resided an ambitious young man, David Simpson, who, as soon as ne was well out of his teens, removed to New York City and went into business. He was successful, and when he became a middle-aged man. went Into politics In this also he succeeded, and at last rose to distinguished official position In the city. Then a longing to revisit the old home of his boyhood, which he had not seen for a quarter Of century or more, came upon him.
 It would be pleasant, he thought, to witness the look of surprise and gran- ficatlon on the faces of his former townsmen when he made his appear ance among them again, unspoiled by fame and prosperity. - Without con- munlcating his intentions to any one, he went aboard a west-bound train one night and arrived at his destination the next morning.
 The first man he saw as he stepped out on the platform of the railway sta tion was one of his old playmates, with whom he had grown up. He walked up to him and grasped him by the hand.
 Charley Bennett, how are you" he said.
 "I'm pretty well, thank you." an- swercd the other, but you've got lit- tie the advantage of me-"

Most Ancient Apple Trees.

The oldest apple orchard In America, if not in the world, is In the center of the ancient town of Manzano, eighteen miles southwest of Estancla, Torrance County, N. NJ. Many of the trees are more than six feet In circumference, but all are still fruitful and vigorous, although neglected for generations Lit. tie Is known of the history of thls or chard, but the oldest inhabitants of the valley of the Rio Grande remember the orchard from childhood and claim that the trees have not changed In ap- pearance since then. Venerable Mexl. cans and Pueblo Indians tell of visit ing the orchard as far back as they can remember and finding apples on the ground in all stages of decomposl- ton at least two feet deep
 The Estancia valley has been peo- pied for ages probably by the klnsmen of the natives found by the Spanish explorers at Gran Qulvira, Abo and other ancient cities. Probably in the early days of the Spanish occupation some Franciscan monk found his way to Manzano and there planted the seeds that have developed into these vener- able trees. They are no doubt fully 30o years old.
 Close by the orchard Is little lake fed by a large spring. A short dis tance away Is grove of pines and cedars, making an Ideal place for picnic and camping parties.

Greyhound of the Orient.

The eastern greyhound has been from time immemorial the hunting dog of the eastern plains and, making al lowance for the artistic attachments of those early periods, representations of him are found which are almost identi- cal with the dogs of to-day on the mon- ments and tombs of ancient Egypt.
 The various races of Afghanistan, Persia and Arabian desert have always bred him from sport. Coursing with hawk and hound was a truly royal sport in his earlier days. the game be- ing chiefly the antelope and the wild ass as well as hares and foxes Though make and shape in all the varieties of the eastern greyhound are almost iden- tical, they vary somewhat In size, the largest being the Afghan hound and the Persian.
 The Arabs of the desert keep the strains pure with the greatest care.
 The Persian hound stands about twenty inches in height, Is deep in the girth, with powerful loins and thighs, the principal characteristics be- Ing the beautiful feathered tail and the silky fringed ears. The third variety, which comes from the Syrian desert, is known as the "slugh" or gazelle hound.

Put to Sea on 2 Raft, Leaving Com-
 rades on Desert Isle.
 The Nam Sang, arrived here from Hong Kong, picked up three emaclated Chinese coolies on bamboo raft. The men, who are very thin, say that about month ago they sailed from Slnga- pore in junk, the persons on the craft numbering eight all told.
 Everything went we'll till their voy- age Lad been week In progress, and then one morning a terrible storm arose and their vessel was whlrled be- fore 1t like a cork
 After driving before the gale for some hours the junk suddenly went to pieces on a small island and with good luck they all managed to get ashore, though they were severely bruised and battered in the surf.
 For two weeks the eight men remain ed on the island, eating shellfsh and of rocks. As no sail hove in sight, three of the most daring decided to build craft and put to sea In the hope of drifting into the track of steamers.
 With the aid of their comrades the three adventures built raft out of giant bomboos, which grew In profu- sion on the island, and with a stock of dried fish and little water put to sea one day amid the farewell shouts of their less daring comrades.
 For six days the buoyant bamboo raft drifted steadily away from the isl and without a single sail appearing on the horizon, and as their stock of food and water was gone the men prepared to die.
 On the evening of the sixth day, how ever, smoke was seen on the horizon and then the hull of steamer came Into view making right for the cast awaya
 The coolies say that they believe their five comrades on the lonely island to be still alive, but they cannot give its position.-Singapore Free Press.

An authority on household matters says that if new tiuware be rubbed over with fresh lard and thoroughly heated in the oven before it is used it will never rust afterward. no matter how much 1t is put in water. For stained tinware boraX produces the best results. If teapot or coffeepot is discolored on the inside, boil 1t In strong solution of borax for short time, and all its brightness will return.
