When the great composer died, in
1883. the grief Of the king knew no
bounds. The cold solitude of the
heights on which his soul had its be-
ing seemed to oppress him with
vivid melancholy. All business b.
came hateful to him. He withdrew
himself into his dreams. Upon the
lake at Linderhof doated a little boat
fashioned like swan. and In this boat
he would lie for hours, his brooding,
melancholy eyes uplifted to the wood
ed heights above him, and lost In tho
floating isles Of cloud that hung In the
still air above the mirror of the lake.
When at Linderhof Ludwig began to
isolate himself completely, ofacialdom
conquered. Prince Luitpold was named
as his successor, and took his place
upon the throne of Bavaria.
Ludwig was then treated as a mad
man. and lived at Linderhof under the
surveillance of old DR.. Gudden. who
had known him from childhood.

Cleaninu Furniture

Many housekeepers overlook the
necessity of thoroughly cleaning chairs
and other pieces of furniture, some
parts OF which become SO sotled that
the ordinary dust cloth does not do
what Is required.
Wooden chairs that have nothing to
protect them where the hair often
rests, wooden arms on rockers, and
the tops of a dining chair where the
hand lifts it and where soiled coats
rub against it become so soiled that
white gowns and waists often show
contact with them.
Use a soft cloth and slightly warmed
water and do not be afraid of soap, a
good soap. Do not have the cloth too
wet and hurry the operation. Dry
quickly with another soft cloth and
polish, at once with a soft flannel
dipped in paraff1n oil, which can be
bought at any drug store for q small
sum. TRY this paraffin oil for q furni.

ness In two hemispheres. He knows
Mexico thoroughly, and having the
Jew question at his fingers ends,
what he has to say on the subject of
Mexico as land Of immigration 10 Of
supreme interest.
Mr.. De Kay has on more than one
occasion gone carefully into the mat
ter with President Diaz, one Of the
most remarkable and patriotic rulers
that ever presided over free people.
The president is a man who wastee

viction, formed on deliberate thought
and experience, with which he utters
his view, Is more suggestive of the
solid Anglo-Saxon or German states
man than the usually loquacious, II
brilliant, Latin.
On one occasion Mr.. De Kay asked
the president what the policy Of Mex.
leo would be II the Jews were to come
to that country in large numbers, and
settle In single state, until they be-
came a majority in that state, and he
said:
i have always sympathized with the
Jew In his struggle against many odds.
/ believe in the value Of the Jew to
the country Of his adoption. believe
IN his power to help the land in which
he casts his lot. believe he has
been a highly important factor In the

stitutions. When the Jew has been
prosecuted abroad l have instructed
my ministers throughout the world to
welcome him to Mexico, and in my
name to guarantee him Justice and
equality before the law, freedom to
worship. or not to worship, and the
right to build his altars in his own
way"
In response to a question: would
you give local government to the

BETTER THAN sTEMEn PRuNEs3
Cheap and Wholesome Fruit 10 Appe.
--..s.:,. tizinq When Baked. j.

. Some one has said that you couldn't
run boarding house without prunes,
and certainly there Is no fruit so cheap,
and at the. same time so wholesome,
says an authority on foods. I think the
boarder's chief objection to them is
the monotonous way in which they are
cooked. Now it is just as easy to bake
prunes an to stew them, and the result
Is far more appetizing, as rule. They
should be first washed, then placed in
a heavy earthen pudding dish or stone
pfpkin, covered with a plate and thor
oughly baked in the open. They re-
quire no sugar, but will be improved
by sprinkling of fine shavings from
the yellow rind of lemons or oranges.
They taste best when served cold with
whipped cream.
I very much doubt If prune soup has
been tried by American cooks. though
1t is a great favorite in Sweden. It
makes an agreeable variety with the
ordinary run of cream soups. The chill
dren will like it with plenty of bread
for luncheon. The recipe reads:
Wash three pounds of prunes and
soak over night in two quarts of water.
In the morning cook in the water in
which they have been soaked for two
or three hours. At the same time cook
In separate saucepan one cupful oat-
meal in two quarts of cold water. Let
this also boil two hours, stirring fre-
quently, unless you cook it in double
boiler. Strain the oatmeal. Half an
hour before the prunes are done add
half cupful seeded raisins. Now add
the prunes and raisins to the strained
oatmeal, together with the Juice of two
lemons, half cupful sugar and a salt
spoonful salt. This may be served hot
or cold as preferred.

Why Foam ls White.

"How white the foam is,' said the
pretty girl, in a voice muft1ed by the
sable stole drawn across her red
mouth. yet the sea is green. Why,
then, isn't the foam green?"
The young sophomore laughed in
derision.
Gee, you are ignorant!" he said.
Beer is brown, but it's foam is white,
too. Shake up black ink and you get
white foam. Shake up red ink and the
result is the same. A body that re-
aects all the light it receives, without
absorbing any, is always white. All
bodies powdered into tiny diamond
form, 50 that they throw back the light
from many facets, absorb none of it
and are white by consequence. Pow
dered black marble. for instance, is
white. And foam is water powdered
into these small diamonds, and hence
it's whiteness."

CHAPTER OUT OF PAST CON.
cERN!Ne LUDWIG OF BAVARIA.
Recent Publication Of the Remarkable
Report by 6avarian Government
Has Revived Interest In
the Story.

Munich has recently seen the pub
Ncation Of the remarkable report Of
The Bavarian government that CON-
PEELED the abdication of King Ludwig
H.. some 20 years ago. 1t Is now be-
Ing published to Justify the treatment
OF the king as a madman. whose in
sanity some have always been dis
posed to question.
Ludwig was q strange child, fiery
tempered. proud and solitary. yet with
a fascination for those to whom he
showed the depths and softness of his
nature that made them his adortng
slaves.
In February. 1864. the old king died.
Ludwig. the dreamer and poet, became
king Of Bavaria. at the age Of 10.
Less than four weeks after his &C.
cession he sent messengers to seek
his oppressed genius.
Judge of the sudden transformation
wrought in Wagner's prospects. A
king, young, spirituelle, an artist to
the soul of him, sent for him, would

unpopularity Of the young king was

were neglected. and Ludwig's impul-
sive mind became the prey Of a fever
OF castle building. His first effort in
this direction was Neuschwanstein,
commenced in 1869. It Is built upon
the site of another of the old watch
towers above the Schwan See-on the
actual site of the oldest of the dwell

histories so held the Imagination of
their descendant. 1t is the most beau

INLAND SHIPPING FINDING IT A
GREAT AID TO NAVIGATION.
Telephony Which Has Been Perfected
10 Working Complete Revolution
In Methods Of Handling
Enormous Business.

In this age of electricity it Is not sur
prising to read that a wireless tele:

and promises to work a complete rev.
Olution of the methods of handling the
enormous shipping Of these great in
land seas.
Already at scores Of points along the
lakes, the towering poles of the wire.
less telephone system. each with it's
antennae Of wires. are being put in
place, SO that by next spring the sys-
tenn which already has made itself in.
valuable to the great Pacific feet of
our navy. as well as to the navies of
Great Britain and Italy, will be In use
from end to end of the chain of Amer.
icas inland seas. BY use of this sys-
tenn marine insurance rates will be re-
duced to minimum, owing to the fact
that all storm warnings may be trans
mitted Immediately to lake vessels so
that they will have ample time to
make safe harbors, and, In conjunction
with the enormous existing land sys.
tenn OF wire telephones, will make 1t
possible for persons either ON the
shores of the lakes or hundreds of
miles away to talk with officers of, or
passengers on, any of the vessels en-
gagged In the lake trade.
Without the enormous expense of
wire maintenance, that is necessary
for the wire phone systems. and also
without the expense Of an expert op-
orator. as Is necessary with wireless
telegraph systems, the use of the wire
less telephone will be within financial
reach of the most modest sailing CT aft
plying from port to port.
Few persons, even those directly
connected with commerce on the great
lakes, realize the enormous interests
represented in that trade; therefore
few realize the vast boon conferred by
the latest electrical marvel. Eighty
per cent. Of all the water tonnage of
North America is carried on the great
lakes. Thirty thousand craft of all
classes to-day are engaged in the lake
trade, and the lake shipyards are from
one to three years behind on their
orders from lake shipowners. AL.
