RAIN NEEDED WASHING.
Mr. Richard Mansfield is not cel
ebrated for his lively sense of hu
mor, but this serious cast of his
mind does not prevent him from
occasionally indulging in a bit of
humor no less enjoyable because
unconscious. Kecently in conduct
ing a dress rehearsal of a play in
wliicK occurs a rain scene Mr. Mans
field and his entire company began
coughing violently from a shower
of dust which suddenly filled the
wings. "Stage rain” is generally
made by the dropping of split peas
in a drum cylinder, and in this case
there was an instant suspicion that
the "rainbox” had not recently been
cleaned.
But none of the stage hands vol
unteered the information until Mr.
Mansfield fiercely exclaimed:
Xf i demand to know where this
abominable dust comes from!”
Finally one of the men, more
courageous than his associates, ven
tured the explanation, “I think it
comes from the rainhox, sir.” a
"And ca-ff-n’t you wash the
Tain?” inquired Mr. Mansfield in
all seriousness.—Saturday Evening
Post.
Garland and the Mushrooms.
Hamlin Garland, who is now, t>y
residence at least, a New Yorker, is
well known among, his friends for
the seriousness with which he re
gards his work and the importance
which he attaches to his position in
literature. An example of this was
given when Mr. Garland recently
visited a friend, whose wife brought
in for Sunday night tea a dishful
of fresh mushrooms, which she had
procured from a neighboring hot
house. The distinguished author
regarded them with undisguised
suspicion.
"Are you sure, madam,” he asked
with great concern, "that these are
not a poisonous variety of mush
room?” 1
The hostess assured him 'that
they were harmless and edible, but
he still hesitated, looking specula
tively into space. The host asked
Trim if he still feared. -
"No,” replied Mr. Garland; "I
was just thinking of the effect,
should you be wrong, on American
letters.”—New York Times.
A Morganatic Marriage.
A friend called to see Russell
Sage a few days ago and in the few
minutes he remained incidentally
asked the financier his opinion oi
Cecil Rhodes* will.
Mr. Sage replied that he did not
consider Rhodes’ idea of the unifi
cation of the English speaking peo
ples a practical one and that if any
alliance came about between the
United States and Great Britain it
would not be for sentimental rea
sons, but rather through commer
cial and financial interests.
"Then, Mr. Sage,” said his ques
tioner, "you think if any closer po
litical relations are established be
tween John Bull’s monarchy and
Columbia these will be the result of
great industrial schemes engineered
by such men as J. Pierpout Mor
gan ?”
“Yes; what one* might perhaps
call a Morganatic marriage,” chuc
kled Uncle Russell.
‘Uncle John” is a man who
drives tourists to see the famous
Stanford tomb. One day when he
was driving a lady out to the tomb
he chanced to remark that he and
Leland Stanford were both born in
Albany, N. Y.
When the tomb was reached, the
tourist glanced at the inscription on
the tomb and in a "Now I’ve caught
you” tone said:
"Why, you said that you and Mr.
Stanford were both born in Albany,
and it says there as plain as day
that he was born in Mortality!”—

A Very Delicate Souvenir.
A correspondent of the Boston
Journal tells of a certain delicate
souvenir owned by a resident of
Washington, which was exhibited
by its proud owner. It was a gold
ring made of the fillings of the
teeth of his dead wife. Whether
the teeth were removed after death
and cracked like butternuts to se
cure the gold or whether the gold
was simply chiseled out, leaving the
teeth in the jaw, deponent cannot
state. The association seemed to
be pleasant, whatever the process
of removal.

You Can Exercise Skill In Properly
Cleaning a Floor.
Genuine skill can be exercised in
cleaning a floor as in anything else.
After the rugs and carpets have been
taken up a floor that is not finished
in any other way should be thor
oughly scrubbed and dried before it
is covered again. It is economy to
lay down floors of matched boards
of good, seasoned wood, which will
not warp and show the cracks. Aft
er the carpet is up and the dust has
been thoroughly swept up and has
settled scrub the wood with warm
water and sal soda, cleaning and
scrubbing about a square yard of
surface at a time. It pays to have
two pails, one of soda and water to
scrub the floor with and one of clear
hot water to rinse it up with. Use
two cloths, one to wipe up the floor
and the other to dry with. When
the floor is scrubbed, wash and dry
these cloths before you use them for
another cleaning. If the floor is
hardwood, it would better be dress
ed by a regular finisher, as there are
few maids in this country who are
willing or intelligent enough to do
this work, though this is the regular
part of the maid’s work abroad, and
the tools furnished in this country
for the purpose are much easier to
handle than those used in Europe.
Cushion In Italian "Cut Work.”
Italian "cut work” embroidery,
similar to that in vogue in the four
teenth and fifteenth centuries, to
gether with the fine linen thread
lace of the same period, was con
spicuous in a recent exhibit of art
embroidery. The work is done on
linen and is remarkable for the clev
er adaptation of the geometrical cir
cle and square in its designs. The
“buttonhole,” the raised "satin” and
the "weaver’s” or "darning” stitch
es are those most commonly used.
The lace is imported and very much
resembles the Maltese lace in char
acter. A pretty sofa cushion is
made of two squares of linen (14 by
14 inches), ornamented at the four
corners on either side, with a de
sign in “cut work” embroidery; a
broad insertion of lace Unites the
two squares, the handsome crimson
brocade of the cushion being reveal
ed through the lace.
The New Centerpieces.
Centerpieces and doilies are most
ly lace trimmed this season, not
with renaissance lace, however, as
has been the case now these many
seasons. Some very fine pi'eees of
the renaissance are still to he found
in which there are noticeably few
of the rings which made that lace
so heavy. The Austrian handmade
lace, known as crepon, has almost
completely usurped its place. -There
are also some centerpieces decorated
with white Irish embroidery and
some made of Chinese grass linen,
embroidered in the rose, dragon
and cherry blossom designs that
have long been familiar on fans and
other trophies of the orient. Some
of the grass linen pieces have the
white ground, with blue or white
embroidery of white. There- are
scarfs as well as centerpieces in
thesA importations.
Fragrant Dried Leaves For insomnia.
The fair insomnia sufferer will be
glad to know that a sympathetic
genius has been catering to her
wants and has placed on the market
what is termed a "sleeper’s reti
cule,” made of some bright colored
muslin or silk in the old fashioned
reticule shape. It is lace trimmed
and drawn up with ribbons. It is
hung within easy reach of the bed
and contains a handkerchief, a tiny
jar of cold cream, a bottle of smell
ing salts and a linen colored sachet
filled with fragrant dried leaves
from an oriental shrub. The odor
from this sachet is said to cause
nervous and excitable persons who
are inclined to be wakeful to fall
into a sweet and refreshing sleep.
Ragout of Beef.
Few cooks know as good a recipe
for ragout of beef as this: Melt and
brown thoroughly half an ounce of
butter; add an ounce of flour and
stir till brown and smooth; pour in
slowly half a pint of stock, same
quantity of boiled and drained Span
ish onions; stir until sauce thickens
and add a pound of cold roast beef
cut into nice neat slices. Cook slow
ly until the beef is heated through;
remove slices and arrange on a dish,
each overlapping the other; pour
sauce over it, garnish with choppec
gherkins and decorate with horse
radish.
Crash Portiere.
A unique portiere or panel slide
is of heavy, coarse, dark gray crash,
in the center of which is painted in
tapestry colors a large conventional
design of two peacocks on either
side of a rosebush, with a back
ground of brownish green. The
whole is outlined with heavy silk in
the prevailing colors. The effect is
striking and at a distance bears a
resemblance to old tapestry.
The,Big Basin Forest.
In the northern part of San Jose
county, Cal., and lapping over into
San Mateo county lies the so called
Big basin, a bit of the primitive
forest. The exact area of the tract
is about 2,500 acres. It contains
one of the finest stretches of wood
land which remain in the state.
The characteristic tree is the giant
redwood. It has been proposed to
convert the basin into a forest pre
serve.
