HOME HINTS.

Hairpins Of celluloid, bone or rub
Der that have become bent or mis-
shapen through much use may be
easily restored to thea original
shape. Put them in dish and pour
over them boiling water; watch and
you will soon sec them beginning to
straighten out. Then with a hatpin
or Il wire hairpin fish them out one
at a time and while still hot bend
them in the slightly curved shape
necessary to make them fit the head,
They will cool rapidly while in the
fingers, and a very few moments
will thus renew several dozen pins.
An excellent mixture to remove
grease spots from clothing Is made
OF four parts alcohol to one part OF
ammonia and about half as much
ether as ammonia. Apply the liquid
to the spot and then rub with a
sponge and clear water.
TO prevent a goose being greasy
pare a lemon very thin so that the
white part is very thick. Place this
inside the goose just before cooking
and remove II before dishing up. The
lemon will not only absorb all the
fat, but it will also impart a delicious
flavor to the goose.
The best way to keep windows
from steaming or frosting Is to clean
the inside Of the window with cloth
moistened with pure glycerin, wiping
il SO as to leave only trace of the
glycefin,
a nice way to cook sausages is to
put pound Of sausages into a sauce
pan with one pint of water and boil
for three-quarters Of an hour, then
place ON a hot dish in the oven to
keep warm while the gravy is being
thickened with two tahlespoonfuls or

after existing in South Amerl-

months it's good TO be back to town,
where one can get something TO eat, -
said r. G, Greeden, San Francisco
mining engineer.
Most of the time I've been in the
south was spent in Brazil In that
country the national dish is ierked
beef and black beans. and one sees
nothing else. Nowhere in South
America, except In Buenos Ayres,
can stranger from the United

palate. The South Americans surely
don't know the rudiments of cooking.

in their own tongue. Nevertheless he
attended the woman's performances in
New York and lampooned her in the
press of that city, to which he had
free access; he followed her to Phila-
delphia and continued to ridicule her
until she became Laughing stock,
Then she went back to France and died
of a broken heart, or a broken fortune
same thing for her heart was in her
portmonnaie.
After learning his trade as a printer
in his fathers shop, and acquiring a
wonderful knowledge of electricity, for
those days, Henry Faxon went to col
lege at Yale and graduated there. Dur
ing his course he was a teacher in that
institution of the science of electricity,
and helped in that way to pay his col
lege expenses. After that he was with
Professor Morse several years, in
Washington, assisting him in perfect
ing the art of telegraphy, in which he
was an expert, and along in the 1S40's
was frequently consulted upon knotty
points in electricity. FaXon was the
first man that ever sent dispatch
without an instrument
Once, while on a railway train, some
where along the New York and Erie
Railway, an accident had occurred, and
FaXon took the wire and telegraphed
for help by striking the end of the wire
against a wet place on the ground.
This was about 1S45
1t was Henry Faxon who caused
Blondin to achieve the first great per-
formance in ropewalking that gave
him a worldwide fame in, and on, his
particular line FaXon induced Blon-
din to walk across Niagara River at
the falls the first time the rope-waller
attempted that seemingly perilous feat,
which he performed so many times
afterward and with such variations
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-27

he usually carries away on his face
and hands more ink than his employ
er can afford to lose.
Of the Faxon brothers was Charles,
who was famous in Louisville news
paperdom as the editor of the Courier
before it's consolidation with the Jour
nal, and who is remembered by folks
of his ilk in the sixth decade of the
10Th century as being not only bril-
liant political writer, but possessed of
a cheeriness of disposition that was
perennial so to speak, and he always
wore plug" hat that looked as If he
had inherited it, and to which adver-
sity quickly brought the appearance
of a disabled concertina
Another of the brothers was Len,
who published newspapers for twenty
five or thirty years at Paducah, KY,
and Cairo, ILL.,, and who has been may
or of each of these cities and held
many high places of trust in the
Eden" of Dickens, the capital of the
modern Egypt.
Henry Faxon, who was Familiarity
called Hank" was man of innumer-
able accomplishments. He could speak
many tongues. He was an excellent
electrician, far ahead of the majority
of them in his day, and to him Pro
fessor Morse owed much of his success
in the work of perfecting the electric
telegraph. He was a brilliant musi-
clan, had a rich singing voice, and
frequently delighted his company with
songs that he sung to his own accom-
paniment on the pianoforte. He was
a fine draughtsman and cartoonist and
often made pictures with his pencil
that were full of the jolliest fun. In
newspaper work he wrote with hui
NOR that has never been eXcelled, and
in the broad exaggerative style which
was not widely appreciated in his day
Indeed. he was the originator of that
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-27

class of newspaper humor, and was a
brilliant poet withal But he signed
nothing.
Among Faxon's army of bohemian
friends, who were for the most part
his diciples, were Charles F. Browne
(Artemus Ward), Mortimer Thomp-
son, (P @. Philander Doesticks), A.
Miner Griswold. (The Fat Contri-
butor), and Lieutenant Derby, John
Phoenix. OF these and many other
humorists of that day, it is asserted
that they took their literary color from
Faxon, and they were the first of
American Newspaper humorists.
Faxon's delightfully."- merry stuff was
printed and reprinted without credit
other than to the newspapers in which
he wrote. Having published no book
and having made no compilation OF
his work or other effort to save his per-
sonality in literature, his fame is cir
cumscribed.
Withal FaXon was not without fall
ings, and among these was spirit that
sought revenge with steady vindictlve-
ness. when he felt himself wronged.
He had a courtliness of bearing that
made him at home among princes and
lordings, and yet there was an air OF
good-fellowship about him that was as
simple as his humblest friend.
A famous French actress of half
century ago came to New York to make
a start on an American tour. Faxon
was editing a newspaper in Troy and
he called on the lady. She and her
manager received the editor in cava-
lierish way, and, speaking to each
other in French, made some uncompli-
mentary remarks concerning "Ameri-
can deadheads." They offered him
some tickets to their entertainment,
however, which he refused, and at the
same time Mortified them by speaking
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-27

that the thing finally grew to be co
monplace enough.
FaXon was the editor of lit
newspaper at Buffalo at the time II
der consideration-the summer
1859. A circus had become strand.
in Buffalo, and with it was this Freno
man, Emile Gravelot Blondin, vi
came to this country in 1855 for w
lam Niblo, with the original Raj
Troupe, and he was part owner of 4
broken circus. FaXon took some s.
of fancy to Blondin, or at any ri
sympathized with him in his distre{
and one morning, without having Qi
suited Blondin, FaXon printed an all
Gle in his newspaper, with sensation
headlines, to the effect that Blond
would walk across Niagara on a tifl
rope.
The Frenchman was Mortified, al
finding Faxon, he exclaimed: Il
"Ah, vat ees zis, Monsieur FaJ,o
zat you say in your Blond
will walk Niagara across on re tigi
rope? You have me ruin!"
Cant you do it?" Faxon inquired
"Oui; | could walk re Niagas
across; but re arrangemong-vat yc
call? re paraphernalia-za cost son
five, six, seven hoondred dollare. and
have not one dollare."
"Oh! don't bother about that" sd
Faxon, 81 will procure the paraphF
nalia." And he did. On June 80
1859, Blondin performed the feat ms
toned. The thing was widely adv
tised; great excursions were organiz
of persons who went to see the D
formance, and Blondins fame and fl,
tune were made. 1t is not recorde
however, that FaXon ever even
much as got repaid for the "paraphe
