Kentucky “Burgoo.'’
The origin of Kentucky burgoo is at
last discovered, r.nd the blue Grass State
can no longer claim it as its own culinary
inspiration.
There is a Spanish diffi called olla po
drida—"a little of everything”—which is
an absolute neccs.-ity of life to every Span
iard used to e\en coinp; ative luxury of
diet. The method of preparing Kentucky
burgoo has been frequently described.
Any one who has read about it will in
stantly recognize the existence of the same
culinary theory in the preparation of olla
podrida, which is described as follows by
the cook who made it for Admiral Cer
vera at Annapol.-.
“A half quart of chick peas previously
soaked in water for a few hours, a couple
carrots, some chirlzos (Spanish red
sausages), long pepper, a elove or two of
garlic, an onion, a bunch of parsley, a
dozen heads of lettuce, a eolewoft or two,
tomatoes, a slice of gourd and any other
old vegetable. These to be cut up and put
ito stock pot with a half dozen pounds
‘ rso of brisket of beef, the knuckle end
of a leg of mutton, half a pound of
smoked streaky bacon, a few slices of ham

skinuned, and, after it has boiled, allowed
t< simmer for the* short space of six
hours.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
I'lectioiiM lit Guatemala.
Elect ions in Guatemala art* decided, it
appears, by majorities so large as to ren
der unnecessary any subsequent electoral
contest. In order to dispose of contests
more expeditiously there are* now in Wash

the house of representatives. But one coiu
ir .. tee probably would suffice in Guate
u.ala, where, at the last election for presi

t ie i roport’on of 700 for one candidate to
1 for the other. The term of the president
of Guatemala is nominally six years, and
he is not eligible for a second term, but
when Guatemala gets a good president it
is the custom to prolong his term, and a
term thus prolonged is indefinite and ends

Th. stars in the living flag were repre

blue, each bearing a flag of one of the
states, and ’Which was sent 'by the gov
ernor of eadh state. Each child was al
lowed to retain the flags as a souvenir of
th? occasion. On the head of each of these
forty-five children was a large and glitter

Much praise should be accorded to Hon.
W. T. Morgan, chairman of the Living Flag
committee, and his associates, Hon. R. A.
Nisbet ad Superintendent Abbott, for the
success of the Affair. The have been
untiring in their efforts.
But especial attention is called by
Messrs. Morgan and Nisbet and Abbott
mselves to the fact that Miss Ruth Al
len, principal of the Whittle school ren
dered tbe committee the most valXble
service and that without her aid but little
could have beer accomplished.
All of the lil hers gave great assistance
and worked very hard.
The wonderful thing about this flag was
that it \»as given after only a few drills
and was executed to perfection, showing
how very hard the teachers, the commit
tee and the children w’orked.
When this same flag was given in Mil
waukee some time ago the children were
drilled for six weeks.
It may be said that the Living Flag was
easily the crowning feature of the Carni
val.
CARNIVAL BALL.
3eaut;fu! Closing Scene of the Carnival Las
Night.
No sovereign of royal blood ever re
ceived mor sincere homage or more en
thusiastic applause ’than that accorded the
king and on n of the Carnival last night.
At an eari;- hour their loyal subjects
began to gath- r at the armory, which was
mos; beautifully decorated with palms and
ferns and Carn. .a’ colors. The seats down
s alia and in balcony were quickly
filled with the eager and expectant throng.
Their royal highnesses, Miss Johnston
and Mr. Huff. geared in the ball room
at 10 o'clock all tended by their courtiers
and maids e b.onor.
Miss Job m wore a robe of s’ immer

bodice was adorned with rhine stones and
a crow v of diamonds seemed to fest very
easily upon the royal head. The maids of
honor were very I; ely in white illusion
and pearls.
With sta’tely tread the royal procession
passed before toe admiring throng and the

Striking and beautiful tableau.
After the first enthusiastic greetings the
royal party opened the ball with a stately

danced by abou't one hundred and twenty

RACES OVER,
» (flerday Closed the Meet—Two Serious
Accidents.
•
Th? races at the Central City park were
bro; ht to a close yesterday afternoon after
the ’ st race hid been run. Several se
rin;- a cidents happened on the track in
which two jockeys and a horse were badly
hurt.
The races started at 3 o’clock and the at
tenJ.-.nce was very short on account of the
Li-.ng Flag exercises, which were held at
the same hour. The races did not come up
to the expectations and the leaders are
somewhaft out. All of the purses were
paid, b’ we ver, and none ot the men who
■brouget horses here have lost any money.
The accident in which one of the jockeys
was seriously injured was the novelty run
ning race was about to begin. Blood hound,
the favorite horse, became somewhat un
ruly and started around the track before
che word was given, and it was Impossl
' ole for the jockey to hold him in. As the
horse passed the judge’s stand the crowd
attempred to stop him. but instead the an
mal jumped the fence, throwing the jcckey
I off. injuring him seriously.
The second accident happened on the last
quarter of the last race The favorite
i horse in the race, Gertie’s Baby, was com-
■ ing down on the home stretch and when
| in about a hundred yards of the wire she
was seen to stumble and after going sev
i era! yards further she fell, breaking her
! leg and throwing the jockey on his head.
: The horse’s leg was broken near the shoul-
■ der and the negro’s arm was broken and
he was also internally injured.
The horse was sold for $5 just after the
accident by his owner.
The horses will go from here to Thom
asville, where another race meet will be I
held. They will not go, however, until
next week and the horses will be in train
ing on the track for the next few days.
I Another race meet will be held here next

ends.
Before folk go on a holiday they pay a
Visit to the hairdresser, ami the demand
for fringes, bandeaux, invisible coverings,
Sculpettos, top curls, fancy toupees and
Bemlcovered hair stems waxes great.
But the hairdresser does not always keep
I these things in stexk. He goes to the
i dealer in human hair, and thither a Daily
Mail representative went —to the secorfd
door round the corner down a street be
neath the shadow of the grim facade of
the highly respectable British museum.
A comely Scot, in the prime of life,
ptood behind the counter. ‘‘This lot,” he
said, ‘‘is known in the trade as rag pick
ers’ combings ” It was a large sheaf of
hair, black, of coarse texture, about six
inches in length. .‘‘These tresses,” lie
went on, ‘‘are the combings of many
heads. Paris ragpickers gather them.
They are then cleansed, sorted in length
and sold at a very cheap price. Theatrical
wigs are their final destination. They
curl beautifully,”
How to keep the hair in curl is a knotty
problem in some boudoirs. And yet it is
easily done. Twist the hair tightly round
a pipe. Then boil it; afterward bake it.
It will never come uncurled.
Italy and Franco are the fields which
supply the English human hair markets.
The coarser grades come from the former
country, from Naples and Palermo and the
finer ones from France. Girls in the sun
ny land clothe themselves, as did Godiva
of old, in their long locks—only they do
it in a more conventional manner. When
the hair is grown, they attend a fair. Here
are merchants of Paris, ready to clip and
pay cash down. And the girls sell their
■fair, buy garments, go home, rub in
pomatum and start growing another crop.
A healthy girl with a vigorous scalp will
grow two or three marketable crops in
the course of a year.
Prices range from 10 francs to 40 francs
per head of hair. Color purity is the de
termining factor. The hair must be the
same shade throughout from stem to tip.
In Scandinavia and Germany the color
Varies greatly. The last wave will be the
yellow of wheat straw, while at its source
it is almost ruddy. Such hair is of ho
use for tho English market. It is sent to
America.
Human hair is of all lengths, but the
longest grows on corpses. There is no
felling which is cut from the living or
from the dead. But from the coffin are
gleaned beauty’s loveliest tresses. And
the price of them is 13 shillings an ounce.
Many ladies visit the little house in
Bloomsbury. They shake out their locks
and say: ‘‘lsn’t it beautiful? What will
you give?” And they ask a fabulous price,
as if their head carried 10 to 13 pounds of
hair instead of 10 to 12 ounces.
It is comforting to know that in the
matter of hair England still holds her
own. Thirty years in the trade show that
we are not becoming more bald. The de
mand for scalps is oven less than formerly.
In Germany it is different. Teutons don’t
lsoep their hair on in the way t' y v 'i ' o.

A Famous Fencing Master.
In Bertrand, the old fencing master,
who at the age of 81 hajust laid down
his foil forever, lovers of thel’.rme bla icl <■
have lost a teacher who in liis day w ■■
surpassed and who had the h- ; 1
founding not merely a f ho-al <
but an epoch in the art he taught. For
was the elder Bertrand who perfected (if
he did not originate) that most deadly of
all strokes, tho riposte, which is a light
ninglike reply to tho adversary’s attack,
delivered so swiftly after the parry that
the opponent . .as not had time to recover
from the effort nd protect himself.
The Italian school has developed out of
this a system of ‘‘offensive parries,”
which combines the guard and the riposte
in one movement, and is of very fatal;ac
curacy with such a weapon as that of Pini.
But it was Bertrand who really developed
the full beauties of foil fencing, just when
dueling had been definitely stopped. Such
paradoxes are common in the history of
the sword, for it was the invention of
gunpowder and the consequent discard
ing of heavy armor that introduced the
supremacy of the rapier and tbe point.
Tho superiority of Bertrand in his early
days in Paris was testified in a manner
that has distinguished classical preced
ence. For every rnaitre d’armes interro
gated on the subject by M. Legouve placed
Bertrand second in the list of honor with
out a single exception.—St. James Ga
zette.
Turtles In the Biihamas,
The shallow seas around the Bahama
islands abound with turtles, and turtle
shell valued locally at £5, G00 was export
ed last year from the colony. The edible
turtle is known as the “green” one and is
also plentiful in,these waters. When small
ones are caught, they are deposited in large
ponds known as “crawls,” where, after
having been branded with their owner’s
mark, they are left to feed upon a particu
lar kind of marine grass until they have
attained a marketable size. Turtle meat
sells in the local markets at threepence per
pound of live weight, and it is probable
that an enterprise for the preparation of a
concentrated form of turtle soup, such as
tths recently been established in Jamaica,
would prove a profitable undertaking.— ■

Jack Rabbit and Bulldog.
The Emporia (Kan.) Republican tells
the following queer story: “An Emporia
inan heard a disturbance in the nightfand
on getting up to see what was the matter
found bis bulldog engaged in a desperate
struggle with a jack rabbit-. Concluding |
that it was dangerous to interfere, he !
went back into the house and shut the ;
door. In a short t ime the outside struggle ■
ceased, and, looking up, he was surprised
to see a jack rabbit looking in over the
transom of the front door. In the morn
ing he went out and found the bulldog
dead in tho front yard with marks of rab
bit teeth all over his person, bearing mute
testimony to his brave and desperate
struggle.”
