HE HAD HEARD ENOUGH.

Bow Senator Palmer Fooled His Old Friend, the Judge. An old Republican judge from Illinois Oil his way west from New York stopped over in Washington long enough to have, as ho intended, a little fun with Jiis old friend, .Senator Palmer. The senator's committco room was rather full when the judge entered, and ho felt a Irifc diffident. Still, after clasping the senator s.hand in a grip of friendship, ho said, with a grin: "What do you think of the election?" "Hey?" the senator, with his hand behind his ear, replied. The judge, something surprised at this, to him, the first sign of deafness in his old friend, eaid in a louder tone: "I say, what do j"ou think of the election?" "Sir?" said the senator, -vi"i nis hand still behind his ear and l'-ju^ing ©ear the judge. "I say," the judge loudly responded, turning a bit red as ho saw that every one had stopped talking to listen to him, "I say, what—do—you—think of the—election—the election—the—election?"

The senator looked pained, as he does when he has to turn down a needy office seeker. He glanced around, as if to read the judge's question in the faces of those present, and then, apparently failing, ho turned again to tho judge, and without even so much as a twinklo in his eyes thrust his ear to the judgo's mouth and said: "W-h-a-t?"

This drovo the spirit of victorious and gloating fun from tho judge's mir l. "Dear me," ho said in a low voice full of sympathy and regret, "1 had no idea that my old friend John had become deaf.''

Then he shook tho senator's hand and left tho room, whereupon tho senator turned to those present and winked tho other eve. Washington Post.

TOOK THE SHORTEST CUT.

French Detectivos Improve an Opportunity to Do :i Clever 1'ieco of Work.

Paris is laughing today over tho undoing of two extremely smart burglars. Two detect!vos were in the Rue St. Martin. Tneir attention was attracted to a man pushing a large packing case 011 a cart along the street. The man was apparently talking to himseL'. They overheard tho remark: "Don't be afraid, old fellow. I will take the shortest cut. Arriving at tho Rue do Bondy, ho deposited the packing case in the warehouse of a merchant named Rous. The detectives concealed themselves the warehouse for tho night. About midnight a man issued from tho packing case. Ho was provided with a set of burglars' tools and set to work to demolish tho lock of the safe. Tho operation took a long time, but at last the door flew open, and the robber filled Irs pockets with gold and silver. He withdrew once more into tho case, which closed upon him.

Tho detectives were in no hurry to handcuff the thief, but awaited tho return of his confederate. In the morning ho presented himself to tako away tho case and was arrested before entering tho warehouse.

The detectives placed the case on a handcart and dragged it to tho officio of the polico commissary. On tho way they acted the part of the accomplice. When the man in the box inquired, "3s that you?" a detective replied: "Yes, old boy. Don't bo uneasy. I will tako the shortest cut." This ingenious robber was greatly surprised when ho arrived at his destination to find himself in tno presenco of a polico commissary.—Paris Letter.

The New Empress of Russia.

Russian society as distinct from the court circle proper is not very elated at the czar's marriage with tho German princess. They would liavo preferred as their future czarina the Princess of Montenegro. To begin with, the princess had grown up under their own eyes. She belongs to their own nation. Her father's nance is very popular. The hero of Dulcigno is a kind of minor idol. Furthermore, the aristocracy would have looked upon that marriago as tho beginning of tho fulfillment of the resuscitated idea of "Russia for tho Russians." What they dislike^fibove all is tho idea of Gorman influence bocoming once more preponderant at tho Russian court. They were absolutely at peaco in that respect with regard to tho now dowager czarina. The daughter of Denmark did not owe tho Germans much good will, and sho is honest enough. not to disguise her feelings.—St. Petersburg Correspondent.

Say Monnt Ranier Smokes and Steams.

The exploring party has fully confirmed the provious statements that emoke has ascended from tho summit of Mount Ranier in tho last two months, for the explorers aro now camped on tho side of tho mountain over half way to tho summit and liavo actually seen groat volumes of smoko and geysers of steam pouring from tho crater. The top of tho mountain was fully fivo miles away, and jets of steam liko geysers shot upward 200 feet or moro, and farther to the right a column of densely black smoke rose from tho crater in fitful curls to a height of several hundred feet. This news was brought by a homing pigeon.—Seattle (Wash.) Dispatch.

Another Convert to Individual Cups.

The Warren Avenue Baptist church has discussed tho matter of individual communion cups, and upon tho recommendation of tho committee appointed two months ago it was voted to adopt them. Deacons Wentworth and Sawyer and Mr. C. M. Barrett were chosen to select tho cups. The church has about 700 communicants.—Boston Herald.

HOW TO CUT ROOTS.

When and IVhere to Make Them and How to Care'For Tliem. V-T

The months of February and March and the first half of April are best for rooting cuttings of carnations, roses, chrysanthemums, coleus, verbenas and others of similar nature. fi(

A cutting may be regarded as a plant deprived of its roots, and while engaged in the process of replacing them it must bo kept moist and at the temperature congenial to its healthy growth. A little diffused light is needed. It is usual t-6 construct the cutting bench on the north side of the greenhouse and partition it off from the other side in order to keep tho air more close and damp than is needed for the growth of the established plants, which delight in full sunshine and plenty of air

The best material in which to plant the cuttings is rather coarse, clean sand or the porous fiber of the cocoanut. The object is to keep the cuttings damp, with some access of air to their lower ends through the porous nature of the sand or fiber. The cutting bench should be watered daily in order to keep it moist, and the temperature must be carefully adjusted to the nature of the plants to be rooted. Hardy roses, verbenas and carnations root best in a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees, while the cuttings of coleus, tea roses, fuchsias and many other tropical plants do better in a temperature of ten degrees higher. It is better to have the temperature of tho sand five degrees warmer than the air above the bod in order to stimulate the growth of the roots. This bottom heat, as gardeners call it, is obtained by carrying hot water or steam pipes under tho bed and inclosing them with sheathing boards, or where a cheaper temporary bed is wanted by a "heat" of fermenting horse manure, six or ten inches deep, covered with an inch ot dry leaves, on which six inches of sand are placed. This "heat" will cause a temperature of 00 to 100 degrees at first, gradually subsiding to 70 degrees and less, and needs watching at first to avoid roasting tho cuttings.

Where a small bed is wanted for cuttings in a common greenhouse where the air is too dry it can be obtained by covering a box of sand with movable sashes or panes of glass, and if the teraperaturo of tho house is too cool tho box of sand can bo warmed by placing a lamp under it with suitable precautions against fire. ..

Uow to Make llraln Croquettes.

Mince finely 1^ pounds of calf's brains. Mix with a bunch of herbs, a shallot and an anchory, all chopped fino. Add pepper and salt and put in pan with one-half pint of white stock. Stew five minutes. Add yolks of 3 eggs. Spread out to cool. Cut in pieces roll upon a bread covered with crumbs. Dip in egg, then in moro crumbs fry in lard. Serve with wine gravy.

Hon1 to Transplant the Maple.

In sections where the hard maple thrives it makes the most valuable, durable and ornamental shade tree that can be obtained, and usually it can be had from the adjacent woods for tho asking and digging. In warmer climates the soft maple is much planted. As tho foliage of both starts early, they should be transplanted as soon as the ground is free from frost, choosing trees not over 2 inches in diameter at two feet above the ground. Leave on all the roots possible. keeping them well protected from tho sun anci wind until again set out. The best success is usually obtained by cutting off all the branches and sawing off tho top eight or ten feet from the ground, covering all side wounds with paint or varnish and tying over the top a cloth saturated with liquid grafting wax. Branches will be thrown out on all sides, and should any of them appear too low remove them, letting all those abovo a certain height remain. If too thick, tho natural growth of the strongest will crowd out the weaker ones. To obtain fully developed shado trees do not plant them closer than 30 leet

How to Dry Wet Shoes.

When without overshoes you are caught the rain, carefully remove all surface water and mud from the shoes. Then, while still wet, rub them well with kerosene oil on the furry side of canton flannel. Set them aside until partially dry, then again apply the kerosena They may then be deposited in a moderately warm place and left to dry gradually and thoroughly. Before applying French kid dressing give them a final rubbing with the flannel, still slightly dampened with kerosene, and the boots will be soft and flexible as new kid and bo very little affected by their bath in the rain.

Ilow to Benefit Without Genuine Massage.

A rubber flesh brush is the next best thing to a massage. A thorough rubbing of tho face and neck twico a day is almost equal to facial massage. It does not irritato tho skin as a bristlo brush does, and it does exercise every particle of flosh and stimulate the nerves so that the faco loses the strained look which is derived from ono set of tired muscles and another of unexercised ones.

now to Revive a Person From Fainting.

For an ordinary fainting fit lay the pationt flat. Great harm has often resulted from ignorant people trying to make tho patient sit up or propping up tho head on pillows. To send the blood back from tho heart the first posture is absolutely necossary. Lot tho patient lie so that tho feet are higher than tho head, throw tho clothes about the chest and throat open, spongo the faco with cold water and give somo cold water to drink.

Novel Cure For Sleeplessness.

Cover your head with the bedclothes and breath and rebreatho tho same air. Thus tho stimulating oxygen will be reducod, and sloop will soon bo won. This is not a dangerous method, for when asleep tho coverings will surely be disturbed, and tho necessary fresh air will bo respired.
