Daily attention to eyelids will not
only make them prettier. but may
prevent puffiness, not uncommon and
extremely unbecoming.
This care consists In using a soft
cloth (an old piece of linen is best)
dipped into hot, not warm, water and
swabbing the eyes for a couple of
minutes each morning. There should
be enough water in the cloth tc
keep a constant dripping. Such d
quantity acts to flush the balls and
soak the lids and will remove airy
crusts from the latter. such crusts
frequently form during the night.
They should never be forced off.
They will always disappear under
soaking. although more time may be
required when they are obstinate.

Lord Nelson felt that his officers and

Officer and Father-in-LaW, HaV-

PARIS, May An artillery officer OF Vim

apparently, of some mysterious family AFFAIR
that has not yet been cleared up The father
in-law was IS years of age. almost blind and
paralyzed and had amassed fortune in his
trade as a butcher. He spent most of his
time in apartment in the city in one OF
his houses while his wife lived in the coun-
try He had two daughters. both of whom
were married, and had received a good dowry-
one Of them the wife of an artillery
captain stationed at Nincennes. who often
called on his invalid father-in-law and had
dinner with him, 1t was during one Of these
friendly visits that the tragedy took place.
The officer, IL would seem, left the Vim
cennes garrison in the best of humor in the
evening. and walked part of the way to his
father -in-law's house. on arriving he was
received in the most friendly way, and his
father-in-law insisted hi remaining for
dinner The servant told to purchase GER
tain things. and she left the two men, who
seemed very happy, talking together most
pleasantly. Half an hour later, when she re-
turned. she was borrlfied to find the old man
dead in his armchair with bullet wound in
his head. and the officer dead likewise, lying
on a bed in another room, with a revolver at
his side from which, it afterward appeared,
three shots had been fired. he officer seems to
have shot himself twice in the mouth.
Various surnlises have been made as to the
cause of this apparent murder and suicide,
such as a family quarrel over money matters,
and also a will but nothing definite has been
established.

EXPERT OFFERS RECIPES
Pointers of Value to HouSekeeper
Contained in a Bulletin Re-
Gently Issued
EXPERT OFFERS RECIPES

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE gov
ernment of the United States is under
stood to be the only one in the world
with a record of two cook books to it's
credit. The department of agriculture
has issued one now on the cooking of
vegetables. 1t is by the late Maria
Parloa, and with the one recently is
sued on the cooking of meat, it is as
serted, it makes a cooking library that
would carry almost any housekeeper
through the period of high prices with
a minimum of financial damage.
Miss Parloa was one of the scientific
housekeepers of the country, and was
recognized as an expert on cookery of
all sorts She was never directly con-
nected with the department of agri-
culture, but her writings were recog-
nized as standard and she was re-
garded as an authority on household
economics
ABOUT 14O RECEIPTS
The bulletin on the cooking of vege-
tables contains about 140 recipes, most
of them for the homely and familiar
vegetable but many of them for
vegetables the very names of which
are unknown to the average house
keeper. But the author of the bull
letin says that all of the vegetables
referred to are easily grown, and that
there is no reason why they should
not be raised in any kitchen garden
as an aid to variety in the tables.
The bulletin goes into some of the
practical features of preparing Vege-
tables One pointer is that a little
salt will make cold water a good thing
in which to soak all head vegetables,
like cabbage. lettuce and cauliflower.
the plants being put head down in the
water, so that worms will have a
chance to crawl out 1t is also shown
that a very little baking soda added to
the water will make old vegetables
tender. The cook is told, also, how
some vegetables are injured by over
cooking and why.
COOKING CABBAGE
One of the features of the work that
will appeal to the mere man is how to
cook cabbage without smelling up the
house. When it comes to cooking such
a homely thing as cabbage one might
think there was but one way to do it.
but the book contains five recipes, all
of which are said to be good.
Cauliflower, which as Mark Twain
was wont to say is nothing but cabbage
with a college education, is spoiled in
cooking oftener than any other vege-
table. Miss Parloa tells how this can
be avoided and how to make caulifiow-
er appetizing and harmless.
Parsnips, she admits, have too pro-
a taste to ever become gener-
ally accepted, but there are ways of
cooking even these that will make
them palatable.
Some of the strange vegetables that
are enumerated are celeriac and kohl
rabi.
There are directions for making all
sorts of vegetable soups, salads and
salad dressings, savory drippings,
sauces and the like. In fact, there ap-
pears no particular reason why the
average family should not turn vege-
tartan altogether and become independ-
ent of the meat trust

FINED BECAUSE HE HAD
WHISTLE ON PEANUT CART

ROCHESTER,. May THE city ordinance
covering the blowing of steam whistles can be
stretched to include popcorn carts. according
to a decision by Judge Chadsey in police court
this morning in insdisposng of the case OF Peter
Fliptos Greek popcorn vendor, who was
arrested several DAYS ago. As result of the
ruling Filiptos drew fine Of 50.
The charge against the popcorn man was
blowing a steam whistle more than fifteen
seconds within half an hour. 1t was claimed
that the cart to which the whistle was at
tached was in motion at the time, but that
made no difference The law prohibits the
blowing of any steam or artificial whistle
longer than fifteen seconds during any thirty
minute period. and Fiiptos had to stand con-
yicted His only remedy now is to whistle
with his mouth or dispense with the whistling
means Of attracting trade.
