CANES IN SPAIN.

Some Of the Natives Have q Small
Arsenal Of Them.
Every Spaniard has a stick, the well
to do own several. and the "gilded
youth often has q small arsenal OF
them. The term arsenal in this case
Is used positively and not fguratively
as the Porto Ricans, like the Spaniards
have quite craze for sword canes and
dagger canes. and they make these
with remarkable skill.
The blades of the finer specimens
come from famous smiths In Toledo
and other Spanish cities and are forged
from the finest steel. Some are dam
hscened and others are inlaid with sill
yer and gold. some have worked upon
them the name Of the owner and 9th
ers the name Of a patron saint. The
assortment of walking sticks In the
shops in the larger towns Is very
varied.
They have fashions in sticks and
canes suited to different ages and pro-
LESSONS. There are sedate mahogany
ebony and rosewood sticks for clergy
men and physicians and fanciful BAN
boos with cleaning steel inside fol
men about town. There are rough oak
en- sticks for the Spanish Anglomani
acs and sapcy little slaves for those
who ape the styles Of the boulevard
For travellers there are coffee sticks

and orange sticks.-Iondon Chronicle

Preserving Eggs.

When eggs are plentiful and low In
price, one wishes for a satisfactory
method of preserving them in quantity
for use in the winter. Lime, salt, vase
line and sawdust have separately had
their place for this purpose. For few
years past, the various state experiment
stations and agricultural journals have
advocated the use of sodium silicate
more commonly called "water glass"
One can obtain this at the average drug
store. The proportions usually given in
the directions for making the prepare
ton are one part water glass to nine
parts OF water, but our experiments have
shown that the eggs keep just as long
and as we'll when the proportion is one
part water glass to fourteen parts of
water. For the past two years the writer
has used this proportion, and she has
found that the shell does not crack in
boiling the eggs whole. Several of my
friends in the city have been trying this
method and they are delighted with the
freshness of flavor and perfect preserva-
ton of the eggs. Two essentials are that
the eggs must be strictly fresh when put
into tho solution, and the top of the
crock or wooden tub must be perfectly
secure, otherwise thick coating will
form by the gradual drying up of the
preparation. L. +. w.
In making the solution boil the water
first, then cool it. If wooden kegs are
used scald them thoroughly. Do not
wash the eggs before packing. Pack the
eggs carefully and pour the solution
over, covering them we'll with it. Keep
them in a cool, dark dry place. One gal
Ion of water glass usually costs fifty
cents, and Is sufficient for more than
fifty dozen eggs.-Good House Keeping.

A Curious Political Inquiry.

A writer in the current Harper's
Weekly propounds very interesting
and pertinent query, namely: What
would occur If the nominee of one of the
great parties for the presidency should
die by disease or accident between the
counting of the electoral votes "a ma
jority OF which had been recorded in bis
favor) and the ensuing fourth of March?
The Constitution will be searched In vain
for an express reference to the subject.
The answer to the question really turns
on the reply to preliminary inquiry
whether q president-elect ia undisdis.

where uses the phrase "president-elect. "
It simply says ARTICLE XII.) that, after
the electoral votes have been counted,
the person having the greatest number
of them for president "shall be the
president" if such number be majority
of the whole number of electors appoint.

STORY OF BUFFALO BILL.

Provided Fine Show For Wee Folk In
children's Hospital.
Some summers ago horseback band
Of Buffalo BHrs warriors passed by
the Boston ChiIdren's hospital on their
way to the show grounds.
Those who could see eagerly ran
and described the procession to those
who could not leave their cots.
A little later one wee lad bedridden
by spinal trouble was discovered cry
ing bitterly on account Of the lost treat.
A kind nurse endeavored to soothe
him. She told him that he might
write to Colonel Cody, the great Buff
falo Bill himself, and ask him for a
real Indians picture.
A simple little letter was sent telling
how he could not see the Indians when
they went by the hospital and how he
wished he had photograph Of one Of
the band, but the long day passed and
brought no answer to the weary, wait
Ing little fellow.
Colonel Cody must be very busy
man." said the sympathetic nurse for
the twentieth time on the second morn
ing. 1--WE must wait patiently"
But even while she was speaking
the ward door opened, and in came a
six foot Indian, painted and wrapped
in scarlet blanket, wearing cap Of
tall waving feathers and leather trou-
sers and carrying his bow in his hand.
The little invalids fairly gasped.
Then they shrieked out with delight as.
one by one, silent and noiseless, but
smiling, six splendid warriors followed
the first.
The strange visitors had evidently
received explicit orders, for now they
arranged themselves as best they could
in the narrow space between the two
rows of little beds, laid their blankets
and bows on the floor, waved their
arms to and fro and proceeded to give
a quiet war dance. Then they sang.
and then they fought sham battle,
smiling all the while. When at last
they went away, heartfelt cheer fol-
lowed them down the broad corridor,
and the happy children in the hospital
talked about shows and Buffalo Bill
for weeks after-Philadelphia Ledger.

Character In Hats.

When it comes to determining the size
of hat, it's width and breadth, there ia
consideration which is generally ig-
nored by milliners and buyers. 1t is es.
sential to remember that hat Is not worn
merely above the head, but above the
entire height, and peculiarities of the
figure should influence US in our choice.
For this reason it is imperative that in
buying a hat one should stand before a
pier glass which reflects the entire length.
Now, supposing you are large, with broad
hips and shoulders. You need quite a
different hat from woman who has
your height without your bulk.
To make your shoulders less broad,
the crown of your hat should be fairly
high, and the brim should be tolerably
broad also to couuterbalance the hips.
A proportionately slender woman
under this same hat would look decided
~ meagre. This is single illustration
Of what l mean, but If you bear 1t in
mind 1t will keep you from wearing on
your head an object which while becom-
ing to your face, compared with your
general size, dwindles to absurdly small
dimensions, or containing other equally
common errors.-Harpers Bazaar.

Iucreased STATE Expenditures.

The fact that the expenditures for car
rying on the states business In Its
various departments have increased from
year to year until they have assumed
proportions which seem large ~ COM
pared with the expenditures of twenty
years ago, is paraded a. conclusive proof
In itself OF extravagance In the manage
ment Of state affairs. This Is absurd
upon the face Of It. The expense of do.
Ing all kinds of business has enormously
increased within the last twenty years.
The stenographer, the typewriter, the
telephone and many other appliances
have become necessities In all kinds Of
business and with their advent has neces-
sarily come largely increased expenses.
But no one would consider it otherwise
than folly to do without these modern
and up-to-date appliances. The people
OF the state would not tolerate the con-
duct of the states business upon any
other basis than that which is desirable
In the management of private business.
1t proves nothing to compare methods
and expenses of to-day with those OF
twenty years ago declaring that people
got along then as we'll as they do now.
Under the same line of argument we
might to-day discard the trolley car, the
telephone, the electric light and the rural
free delivery and thousand and one i'm.
proved methods of carrying on the bust.
ness of the world which have been adopt.
ed within comparatively brief period,
by simply saying that our fathers got
along without these things and got
along we'll enough.
But there are corporations which
come with these increased expenses
which are of more value than the in
creased expenses. More business is done
and with greater accuracy and better re.
suits. 1t costs more to do all kinds of
business, but more business is done and
greater income is secured. Take for ex-
ample the executive department Of the
state. Years ago the expenditure in this
department was confined practically to
the salary of q messenger, but under
modern conditions there has been added
a private secretary, stenographer and
typewriter in order that the business
may be done satisfactorily and promptly.
This necessarily has increased the e1-
penses of the department until at the
present time the salaries amount to
81, 700, but with these increased expendi-
lures have come increased receipts
which are equally the result of the diff
ferent methods of conducting the bust.

the department for salaries was 81, 700,
