An Experience at Hull House.


 Even death itself sometimes fails to bring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate w4sh old age. recall the dying hour of one old Scotchwoman whose long struggle to keep respectable" had so embittered her that her last words were gibes fee those who were trying to minister to her. "So you came in yourself this morning, did you? You only fent things yesterday. l guess you knew when the doctor was coming. Don't try to warm my feet with anything but that old jacket that I've got there: it belonged to my boy who was drowned at sea nigh thirty years ago, but it's warmer yet with human feelings than any of your confounded charity hot water bottles" Suddenly the harsh gasping voice was stilled in death, and l awaited the doctors coming, shaken and horr;fed.-Jane Addams in Amer, ican Magazine.

Culinary Mysteries That Bewildered
 an Enslishwoman.
 One moment we were eating ducks eggs whose hlackened, lime favored whites indicated that their age was unimpeachable; the next we were grap. bling with sea weeds, macaroni and the slippery sharks fins that eluded we tackled-not without fear-un- known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar, fresh shrimps, mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi- geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice fillers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now came the real substantial meal, where In every dish had an accompaniment Of smaller ones, containing grayies. etc, in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt, roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grlled fresh water fish. which, according to custom, was helped from the top side only, for the Chinese remembers bis servant. And, finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
 After some three hours, with feel ing of thankfulness that all was over pipes, cigarettes and tea were served and it seemed to me that the delicious aroma which rose from the latter soothed our senses and almost dis pelled the antipathy that had Aeea growing on us for all things Ch.iese.- Mary Moore in London Express.

TESTING FIRE CLAY.
The Most Practical Method Is to Lit.
 orally Eat lt.

Fire clay has been in use fer cen turics, and yet 1 believe the industry Is one which lacks definite laws more than any other, including those which are either modern or ancient and of less prominence. You can go to manufacturer of steel and specify what you want by actual figures or statements and you can check the prod uct by chemical analysis or mechanical tests and thus make sure you get what you need. The producer knows how to combine certain elements and what quantities of various kinds to combine in order to get result at least very closely approaching what you call for, but not so in the fire clay business. In the past the most skilled and highest saaried chemists have been employed to make tests, to promote and carry through investigations on the natural product and to study the workings of certain manufactured and elaborated articles derived therefrom. The result has been, generally speaking, confusion worse confounded. Two professors, working at similar times on brick or clay obtained from the same source and manufactured under exactly equal conditions, have recorded diametrically opposed conclusions! The same scien- tists at different periods have reached vastly varying conclusions when test ing identical qualities and shapes of bricks, so can you wonder if promt nent fire clay manufacturer should ex- claim, as I heard one on an occasion after having the above experience, "All tests of fire clay are empirical, and would sooner trust our superintend- ent to pick and select his clays in the old fashioned way than pay high fee for highbrow's recommendations2 The chief method of testing fire clay by a practical man is literally to eat 1t. He can detect grit and sand best by that method, and good fire clay Qree from silica, quartzite or hint clay) is free from grit. His only other personal test is by elperiment.-En. gineering Magazine.

kissino In iceland.

Among old time laws against kissing those of Iceland appear to have been the most severe. Punishment was the penalty laid down for kissing another mans wife, either with or without her consent. The same punishment was enforced for kissing an unmarried wo- man against her will; if it could be proved that she had consented to be kissed the offender was still liable to a fine of great quantity of cloth for each offense.

 WILL BE CHANGED

Washington, January 1.-The passing of the historic 4th of March as a presi- dential inauguration date and the fixing of the fourth Thursday in April in its place is provided for in a resolution or dered favorably reported by the House committee on the judiciary today.

This change is not to apply to the members of Congress until their present terms expire.
 The action of the committee follows a general outcry against the holding of inauguration ceremonies in Washington at a. time when indictment weather has been the rule and when a blizzard that shut off all communication with the out side world for a time marked the last inauguration.
