CONDENSED STORIES.
HiSvif the Name of '‘Return” Got Into
the Meigs Family.
No one who has over had occasion
to'visit the office of the clerk of the
supreme court of the District, of Co-
luiubia and hao had the pleasure of
meeting* Mr.. R. J. Meigs, the deputy
clerk, can fail to remember that
gentleman’s unfailing courtesy. But
there are very few at the present
who know how he came to be
named' “Return,” which is his “giv
en,?’ or Christian, name. Walking
down one of the streets of Washing
ton in company with a reporter, the
conversation turned on the subject
of names.
“I suppose,” said Meigs, “you
have heard tfte story of how the
name of ‘Return’ got into our fam
ily. Away back—not less than a
hundred years, ago at least—some
ona told my great-grandfather that
he. ought to gq,t married. The idea
struck him' favorably, and he start
ed out to find a wife. Stopping at
the residence of the first young lady
nearest to his homo with whom he
had an acquaintance, ho made
known his desires.
"The young woman was, of course,
.surprised to hear Mr. Meigs’ decla
rations, especially as she had not
been receiving any attentions from
him, and remarked probably in sub
stance, ‘Why, Mr. Meigs, this is so
sudden!’ As the story goes, Mr.
Meigs promptly answered, ‘Well, it
doesn't make any difference; there
are plenty of othor girls,’ and start
ed to leave the house. lie had reach
ed the front gate of the yard when
thd young woman called after him:
‘Return, Jonathan! I will have
time!’ his first name being Jona
than. They were married, nnd when
their first baby was born, it being a
boy, the parents doeidod to call him
‘Return Jonathan,’ and over since
than there has Veen a ‘Return Jona
than’ in the Meigs family,”—Wash
ington Post.

Clerk’s Wise Suggestion.
“I have lately been much troub
led with dyspepsia, belching and
sour stomach,” writes M. S.
Mead, leading pharmacist of At
tleboro, Mass. “I could eat. hard
ly anything without suffering
several hours. My clerk suggest
ed I try ICodol Dyspepsia Cure
which I did with most happy re
sults. I have had no more troub
le. and when one can go to eating

after such-a time, their digestion
must be -pretty, good. I endorse
ICodol Dyspeptia Cure heartily.

A Wardrobe For Rooms That
Without Closets.
Where no closet is at hand for
hanging away the clothing when not
in use it soon becomes covered with
dust from being suspended in the
open room from the bedposts and
chairs, says the Toledo Blade. It is
to provide a suitable pla»e to hang
this clothing that a combined ward
robe and bedstead has been design
ed by Edwin L. Bowrrng of Grand
JIapids, Mich. The device consists
g&aentially of a large open faced
box, mounted on casters Mid arrang
ed to slide back of the headboard of
e bed when not in use, the latter
ling the face of the closet when
k closed and thus excluding the
from the garments suspended
By attaching the closet to
the bead of the bed after this man
ner both room and lumber are saved,
and the convenience of having the
clothing always handy and ready to
put on need not be emphasized. The
connection with the bed is made by
thin metal strips at the top and bot
tom, which' enter slots 'in the hori
zontal boards and serve to prevent
the closet from tipping over or sep
arating from the headboard.
Cheese Cake That Isn’t Cake.
Whoever invented that peculiar
dish called cheese cake and named it
cake made a mistake, for it belongs
in the list of pies as surely as does
custard pie. Not every one likes
cheese cake, but those who do are
usually very fond of it.,. It is no-t
made from sour milk, ns is usually
supposed, but from milk and egg
cooked together so long ns to pro
duce a curd. Put two cupfuls of
milk in* a saucepan and set it on to
boil. Bent four eggs until quite
light and stir them into the milk,
allowing a thick curd to form. Re
move from the fire and sot aside to
cool. Cream one-half pound of but
ter with one-half pound of sugar.
When the curdled jnilk and egg are
cool, mash and mix with four
ounces of breadcrumbs. Now add
'the butter and sugar and three well
beaten eggs. Flavor with two tca-
spoonfuls each of brandy and sherry
and one teaspoonful of cinnamon.
Borfietimcs currants are added,
though they may he omitted.* Pour
into pio plates that hove been lined
with puff paBte and bake quickly.—

Good Effects at Reasonable Cost.
According to an authority, tlio
fitting up of an oriental room or
cozy corner does not necessarily re
quire the expenditure of a small for
tune, although thousands can easily
bfl expended if thousands of dollars
are available for the purpose. But
there are reasonable priced materi
als that are used with excellent ef
fect in the adornment of a Moorish
pr whatevor stylo of room is desired,
and it is to be noted that the ar
rangement of these draperies ia
more ample than formerly, and
therefore the materials are not so
apt to prove dust traps. An advan
tage in the cotton goods is that they
can be easily cleaned, and, if draped
artistically, the effect is as good as
if more costly material had been
employed. The arrangement of
light is one of the important ad
juncts in connection with the fit
ting up of an. oriental room, and
whatever be the method -employed
the light must be so tempered as to
produce the mellow effect that is
half the charm of oriental draperies,
whether costly or inexpensive.
Spme,thing That 'Will Do You Good
We know of no way in which
we can be of - more, service to pur
readers than to tell them of
something that will be of real
good to them. For this reason
we want to acquaint them with
what we consider one of the very
best remedies on the market for
coughs, colds, and that alarming
complaint, croup. We refer to
Chamberlain’s Gough Remedy.
We have used it with such good
results in our family so long that
it has become a household neces
sity. By its prompt use ive
haven’t any doubt but that it has
time and again presented croup.
The testimony is given upon our
own. experience, and we suggest
that our readers, especially-those
who have small children, always
keep it in their homes | as a safe
guard against croup .—Camden (S.

Uses For Empty Cans.
Empty tin cans may be put to nu
merous uses. Perforate the lids of
baking powder cans, and they may
be used as molds for brown bread.
Pound coffee tins are good for stor
ing soap grease in, which when full,
with the lids on, may be placed in
the cellar safe from mice until a suf
ficient number have accumulated
to warrant making the grease into
soap. The paper labels may be
washed off others and soda, tapioca,
•raisins, etc., be painted on, when
they may be used for storing these
articles instead of keeping them
around in paper bags. Half pound
baking powder cans are about the
right size to mark for spices.
To Restore Gilt Frames.
Gilt frames that have acquired a
dilapidated look may be restored to
their former brilliancy by applying
a mixture of the whites of three
eggs and an ounce of powdered so
da. After being well rubbed in it
should be removed with a soft cloth
<or piece of chamois. If the gilding
has disappeared, the spot should be
touched up with gold paint.
