SADDLE H ORSES A SPECIALTY -_| . \ I a} . - ,1 , SUCCESS OF THREE SISTERS. Reverses in Fortune Induce Them to Open 9. Lunch Room. The city of Cincinnati possesses a striking example of what can be done by woman’s pluck when accompanied by practical common sense. Twelve years ago the Misses Stew art, three young women who had been reared 1n wealth, were by business failures thrown upon their own resources. They secured a room in a business block and established a lunch-room, where they made a specialty of home cookery. Most of the work they did with their own hands, and the excel- lence of their supplies soon created a demand. The little lunch-room became a success, and at the end of five years, when the great Chamber of Commerce building was put up and there was to be a large restaurant connected with it, the Misses Stewart boldly applied for it. They were backed by many of the best business men of the city, who had known them in their days of wealth and been impressed by their ability as business women. Their bid was ac- cepted, the Misses Stewart assumed charge of the “Glencairn” lunch-room, and have conducted it without a break or a failure for the last seven years. The clientele is very large. For rent and services alone the yearly expenses are $10,000. The prices charged for food are very reasonable, yet the sis- ters not only paid all expenses, but live in comfort and are becoming wealthy. They have never lost social position by going into business, and during their entire career have never had to borrow a dollar. POISONED AIR. What Produces Discomfort in a. Crowded Room. ,5 A very important investigation into the nature: of the substances contained in air expired by human beings, says the London Graphic, has just been completed by two prominent men of rnE,EvEN1Nc.annnTn 7 science in. America, Dr. J. S. Billings and Dr. S. Weir Mitchell. As a result of their extended researches they de- clare that “the discomfort produced by crowded, ill-ventilated rooms, in for— sons not accustomed to them, is not due to the excess of carbonic acid, nor . to bacteria, nor in most cases to dust of any kind. The. two great causes of such discomfort, though not the only ones, are excessive temperatures and unpleasant odors.’ But though the air actually expired by healthy men and animals contains no more poison- ous substances than carbonic acid gas, experiments on the air in inhabited rooms and hospital wards are said to show that an important. source of con- tamination. is the minute particles of dusts, in which there are micro-organ- isms, and it seems probable that these are the only really dangerous elements in the air. These views, and the con- clusion that the presence of carbonic acid gas is not a trustworthy criterion of the existence of other and more poi- sonous exhalations, are likely to be questioned by many students of ventila- tion. THE RICHEST MAN’S WIFE. Some Amazing Truths About Marchioness LI and Her Home. .. Of the wife of Li Hung Chang, mil- lionaire of millionaires, a writer in Pear-son’s Weekly says: Marchioness Li is very beautiful, and, compared with her fellow-countrywomen, an, exceed- ingly learned lady. Her age is more—— possibly» a great deal more—than 50, yet she looks 30, or even less. The wife of the richest man in the world, she spends royally, although not without keeping a detailed account of her expenditures. In her magnificent home on the banks of the Pei-Ho she 1 lives in great splendor, surrounded by song birds, peacocks, aquaria, pottery, gems and botanical collections. One thousand attendants and serv- ants answer her beck' and call. In her wardrobe are guarded 2,000 coats, 1,200 pairs of “trouseret-tes” and 500 fur robes, made from the finest skins. Her feet have been compressed until they are quite inefficient for the. origingl purpose, and the marchioness is unable to walk more than a few yards at. a time. Twice a day she.- bathes in oil of orange and acacia blooms and after- ward takes an airing in the coolie sedan. Finally she dresses her hair in 50 ways, each more miraculous and a more perfect example of the coifl’eur’s- art than the one that goes before. - HIS MISTAKE. A Young Lawyer’s Happy Retort to a Presiding Judge. The New York Recorder gives a. story 'of a young lawyer who evidently did not consider the well-known learning of the judge a sufficient reason for omit- ting evidence of his orw n attainments. The judge was compelled to listen to a case that had been appealed from one of the police courts. The young prac- titioner who appeared for the appellant was long and tedious; he brought in all of the elementary text books and quoted the fundamental propositions of the law. At last the judge thought it was time to make an effort to close the argument. “Can we not assume,” he said, pom- pously, “that the court knows a little about law itself ?” “That’s the very mistake I made in the other court,” answered the young orator, “and I don’t want to let it defeat me twice.” . Pope Was Not Oflended. The London Morning Post tells as pleasant story of Pope Leo’s kindliness. It seems that not long ago an English lady, a,Protestant, with her little son, 11 years old, and her daughter, ob- tained an audience of the pope, through the good offices of Cardinal Rampolla. the papal secretary of state. The latter invited the boy to kiss the pope’s slipper. “We don't kiss people’s feet in Eng.- land,” said the little fellow, “but he‘s a nice old gentleman, and I’ll kiss his hand, if he likes.” The pope was de- lighted with the little fellow’s answer, and paid him several compliments in Italian. ’ FIRESIDE FRAGMENTS. —-—Almond Cake—Two cups of pow- dered sugar, one-half cup butter, One sup of milk, two and one- -half cups of flour, one teaspoon of baking powder, the beaten whites of five eggs, one pound of finely-chopped almonds.— Boston Budget. —Here is the correct way to carve a fish.

She was a poor skater, she said, but her escort, who thought she was just about perfect in everything else, in- sisted that she could skate well enough for anybody’s criticism and that he wasn’t much of a skater himself, so they went to the park together one day last week and were very soon on the ice. Perhaps you might have seen them, for they were as noticeable as ever were two lovers from the country when they first visit New York and take a walk~ on Broadway. Each had told the truth, but each secretly believed that she and he re spectively was a better skater than she and he had pretended. When they were fairly “launched,” so to speak, they took hold of each other’s hands, and in their attempt to maintain up- right positions their wrigglings and sawings of the air with their arms not in use suggested St. Vitus’ dance. “Look out there! Where are you go— ing?” shouted a skilled skater whom they suddenly plunged into and nearly - upset. He had braced himself for the onset, and theysplit on him, as it were. She went one side and he the other. Two pairs of hands were-aim the air as if trying to claw chunks out of the sky,» then came the collapse. He went down on his back, and she—well, she tried to sit down,.but made quite a frantic and unnecessary- effort. The ice seemed to her to meet her half way, and there was a very dull thud indeed. “There! I told you so!” shouted the skilled skater. He was addressing himself to the young lady’s escort, and at the same time gallantly went to the side of the young lady, apologized to her very handsomely forrunning into him, and assisted her to rise before her escort had found time to do anything but glare at him. Then the skilled ' skater said to the young lady; “Per- mit me!” Holding her firmly in posi- tion, he gave her a fine “spin” across the lake and back again. By that time the escort had gained a tolerably erect position. “Hurt?" asked the skilled skater, pat« ronizingly. No, the escortwas not hurt, except as to his feelings. He said, with a feeble attempt at politeness, that he was not injured and this time directed his glare at. the young lady. The skilled skater smiled mischievously, raised his hat to the young" lady and glided away. “Fpr my part,” snapped the escort, when they were left alone, “I think the ice is no good.” “Would you like to go home?” she asked, with a shade of stiffness and threeshades of sarcasm. They might as well, he grumbled. And when they got their skates off and started homeward the temperature seemed to g1 ow colder. He said he might not be‘ up’ that evening, as he expected to be detained in “the city, " and he has not been “up’ since.— Brooklyn Standard-Union. Advice to a Candidate. “I know what I’ll do,” said the young candidate. “I’ll lay in a big supply of plug tobacco, and every time I meet one of the hayseeds I’ll offer him a chew.” “You will do nothing of the sort,” said his _manager. ' “You will go out without a bit and borrow a chew from every man you meet. Haven’t you got sense enough to know that the man you are under obliga tions to always feels warmer toward you than the man you have done a favor ?"—Indianapolis Journal. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. —Washington is noted for the beauty of the trees which line her sidewalks, and the reason lies. in the fact that for many years past she has made the care of them a municipal duty. Boston has solved the tramp prob- lem by requiring the “Weary Willies” to work for everything they receive at the VVayfarers’ lodge, and indignant men of leisure are boycotting the place. ——The latest fashion-able ailment in New York is “ammonia. colds.” Accord- ing to the doctors who do business with the “400” they are caused by overindul- genes in artificial ice rinks. The “shop— ping face,” the “golf straddle” and the “bicycle. hump” are not in it with this latest affliction. —Nini Novgorod, in Russia, was al- most obliterated by fire in 1864. All the buildings and bazars in which were held the annual fair of merchants from all parts of Europe and Asia. were blot- ted out, and that year most of the trad- ing was done in tents or temporary structures. ——Of every 1,000 clergymen between the ages of 45 and 65 only .1593 die an- nually, but of every 1,000 doctors be- tween the ages of 45 and 65 no fewer than 28.03, it is said, die every years Some statisticians attribute the high rate of mortality among medical men to the harassing nature of their duties. —,,Last June James Bridgeford lost his fine $75 gold watch while plowing on his farm near Kelso, Wash. He hunted the land over at different times, drawing harrows and even forking most of it over, but never could , find the watch. The other day George McClellan came through the field and picked the watch up. —A Frenchman named Villon has' in- v ented a novel. method of sealing cham- pagne bottles. The loss and deteriora- tion of champagne due to the escape of. gas, long, he says, made some process of perfect air—tight sealing desirable. M. Villon accomplishes this by covering the cork and part of the neck with a thin.- layer of copper electrically de- posited. AT A WIDOW’S WEDDING. Etiquette Which Governs This Highly .Momentous Event. Etiquette governing the wedding of a widow has been recently reorganized and temporarily, at least, is finding high vogue among certain great ladies who are making second matrimonial ven- ‘ tures. ' The widow’s engagement ring is now a peridot, which in reality is an Indian chrysolite, and a deep leaf-green in color. The peridot ring is set about with diamonds, and when it arrives the lady gives her first engagement ring to her eldest daughter and her wedding ring to her eldest son. One week before the wedding a state- ly luncheon is given to the nearest and dearest of the old friends of the bride to be. After the engagement’s announce- ment she appears at no public func- tions. At the altar her dress may be of any subdued shade of satin. To make up for the absence of veil and orange blossoms, profusions of white lace trim the skirt and waist of the bridal gown en secondes noces. Even the bonnet is of white lace and the bouquet is prefer- ably of white orchids. And up the aisle the lady goes, hand in hand with her youngest- child, no matter whether it' 1s a boy or girl. The little one wear-s an elaborate w hite costume, holds the bride’s bouquet, and precedes the newly married pair to the church door. Where there 15a large family of children and a. desire on the widow’s part for a. trifle more display than is usually accorded en’such occasions, all of her daughters, in light gowns and bearing big bouquets, support their mother to the altar. An informal little breakfast now fol- lows the ceremony. Such a breakfast is scarcely more than a. light, simple luncheon, served from the buffet,wound up by a wedding cake and a toasting posset, but the bride of a second mar- riage does not distribute cake nor her bouquet among her friends. Her car- riage horses do not wear favors, either, though shoes and rice can be freely scat- tered in her wake, and, to the comfort and economy of her friends, she does not. expect anything elaborate in the way of wedding gifts—N. Y. Sun. To Steady Pictures. The dealers in upholstery hardware are frequently asked for some scheme to steady a picture on a wall, especially small pictures. A housemaid with a duster is everlastingly setting askew small pictures, and the average room, after dusting, looks sadly awry All sorts of picture hooks have been in- vented which are supposed to so grip the picture cord that it will always hold the picture evenly on the wall. Then, again, corner clamps have been brought out, one for each corner of the pioture,:the clamps being driven into the wall—but everything of that sort has some objection. The simplest and most infallible way of holding a picture immovable is by making a small gimlet hole in the extreme lexver point of the inside of the frame, where it touches the wall, and at this point drive a small brad into the wall, leaving about half an inch protruding. The hole’in the frame caps this brad like a socket, and the ordinary dusting of the pictures does not move it in the least—Chicago Tribune. Golden Toast. Cut. bread into even pieces, toast and butter the pieces and moisten them with hot water. Boil six eggs hard. Separate the whites from the. yolks; chop the whites and press the yolks through a colander or sieve. Make a white sauce, using one tablespoonful each of butter and flour cooked together and then add-a cupful of cream or milk. When it is well thickened add the chopped whites and season with pepper and salt. Spread this mixture on the slices of toast and cover the top with the mashed yolks. Sprinkle the yolks evenly over the pieces till they look Very yellow. Serve very hot. -’--Good House- keeping. -.aM- .. ._ . ' WHAT IT nears.
