(CONCLUDKI) FROM FmST PAGE.) understand that steps are on foot in New York for the formation of an American line to West Africa. I b lieve it will be an advantageous undertaking, as the oils, timber and such products nenv used in Liberia and other West African countries come lrom America, but by way of England. A direct service would obviate this miscarriage of profits. Iteturn freights a'-e still scarce, but with the rapid development of the country's mining interest this ditllculty should shortly be overcome. Rubber is always plentiful. There is gold In Liberia, and a company has already been formed to develop the mines. "Financially Liberia is progressing. One hundred thousand pounds weulel wipe out all her debts. Considering that we have not received any financial assistance except from American colonization. Liberia's standing compares favorably with that of any other West African state. We are getting little negro immigration from the United States. At present, indeed, it is hard for immigrants to get work, for the natives are willing to work for $3 a month. Later there will be plenty of opportunities for those cognizant ef mining matters. If American negroes would take up this branch they would have a great future on the west const, where they can stand the climate twice as well as a white man. "We are working slowly and steadily In the endeavor to tind a common basis of government for our civillzeel and native populations. The latter number over a million. We are endeavoring to avoid the mistake so patent in the crown colonies around us of forcing our Ideas upon the natives. A gradual assimilation of customs Is the only way of dealing with the problem, and how successful we have been can be judged from the fact that we have no organized police, and often no serieus criminal eases occur in six months' time. "The Liberians were very glad to hear that it was proposed to re-establish the A merle n squadron of warships in Kuropean waters, though there was no harbor." HiiKliih Crops Short. LONDON, Aug. 3.

Wnys of Preparing üoino Old-Fiitth-iottcil Be vertices. The Epicure. Probably there has been a greater increase in the number and size of private gardens ehuing the iust ten years than lias ever been recorded before lor twice tint length ot time in our history. With too Incieate there has been an affectionate sort of reversion to old-fashioned things, too. Not that the new-fangled ones are done away with, but there has been room enough made for both kinds. Then, as naturally as possible there has been a deoire to utilize some of the fruits in preparing some old-fashioned wines to be stored against future need. Perhaps the most commonplace arnon? the honie-maue wines of the long ago was one made of elderberries, but it is worthy a fairly nigh place in our elrinkables today, and lor certain bronchial affections is said to be cxctllent by physicians vnu favor home-made remeelits. For making it, strip the berries from the large stalks, pul in a pan and set in the oven of a rane wherein the lire is dying, to remain over mght. Next morning stiueezo them in a pi ess or through a cheese cloth. To every quart of juice add two quarts of water, boiling water, that is, and two pounds of sugar, more or less, according to your taste. Spice it als:o, according to your taste, with cloves, allspice and ginger. Put into the wine a slice of toast to have it work, cover it and let It work as long as.it likes. Then strain and bottle it for luturc use. Fron the earliest history of blackberries ami their possibilities a favorite way of using them has bcn to secure a ctrdial from them. It Is easily done, too, since no cooking is required. Have a large steine jar anel in it put a layer of blackberries, then a sprinkling of sugar, as much as you think will be required, and so on until the jar is two-thirds lull. Fill it then with brandy and keep in a cool place for a month. Then draw off the juice. er strain it, and bottle it. As to the sugar, a fairly safe rule is half a pint of sugar to a quart ot berries. But the berries vary so it is almost impossible to prescribe an infallible rule. The foregoing is meant for blae kberries that are perfectly ripe. . littl? of this cordial is sometime;-, found delightful after dinner, and tor use in a fruit salad, using sparingly, it makes a delicious ilavo;--ing. Perhaps a poach cordial has the most followers. But you can tell by trying it if you think it should lead them all. Have four dozen large ripe peae-kc-s, peel them and put them with a dozen of the kernels into a jar. Boil two or three pounds of tugar with one quart of waier, and when it is a sirup pour over the peaches. When this is quite ceiol pour a gallon of brandy over the whole. Tic it up closely and shake It three times a week for the six weeks it must s-tanel. Then bottle for use. A quince cordial Is something the making of which soon becomes a yearly habit, because one's household has an objection to going without it once It has known its joys ayel beauties. Grate the quinces, press out the juice, anel to each quart of It add one pint of brandy and as much sugar as you think it requires. If you like you may adel Fpices te this cordial, but they are hardly an improvement. Keep In a jug, shake occasionally, and then after a fewweeks it is better to bottle it. A elelicious tipple known as cherry bounce should always be made by anyone having the opportunity to secure large sweet wilel cbe-rries. Mash them, strain through a cloth, and to each gallon of juice add half a gallon of water. Boll as long as any scum rises, skimming it off; then add to every gallon about a pound of sugar. Boil and skim as before. When cold mix with each gallon half a gallon of brandy. Most grateful in many ca?es of illness will a current shrub be found. Also, it is. quite good enough to figure among the refreshments of hah: and hearty I:n;ivIJuals. Have the currants ejuite ripe and squeeze in a cloth to extract the juice. To each quart of juico allow one nound of loaf sugar. Let It ditsolvo in the juice thoroughl3. then boil slowly for ten ruinut s. skimming it well. When cold, add a gill of brandy to each quart of juice and then bottle. This is used ordinarily In ther drirks such as lemonade- or- orangeade, or is diluted with considerable water when to be drunk by itself. The brar.eiy to be used for lhep brinks should be of n good, fair quality not the most expensive and by no means the cheapest to be had. A ileal depends upe.p. the quality of the brandy used, if one is to secure a. desirable flavor in these concoctions. MARTHA'S PARROT. Sympathy vlth Iti Mitres Convinced Her that It Had a Soul. Literary Bulletin. Miss Wilklns's story of the parrot. In her new book, "l.'nderstudie s." is so good that it has only been rivaled bv herself in the Inimitable story of the old maid and tipcat that came back, in one of her earliest volumes. In both stories there is the inevitable pathos and humor with which Miss Wilklns alone knows how to envelope her solitary figures of sisterhood. The parrot made a striking tropical contrast to his stern New England mistress; and to this woman, whose sole dissipation had ben a visit te a concert in the town hall, the screaming anel laughing birel was a suggestion of vague and unreasoning immorality. The bird war the one bright thing in her life and linked the outside world to the true inwardntss eif hor ovn soul. In an awful moment, which seemed :ike the rankest atheism to her, she had talked to him in the languig.c of love, and he had cocked his" glittering herd and his inscrutable.- jc-wcl-oye at h : in a way that made hfr quite sure that the parreit had a sou!. In fact, she thought of speaking to the minuter about it, but then he was unmarried, and people had pedmed the finger at the mini.-ter as a suitable match for the solitary daughter of his predecessor. One warm night the parrot frightened away a pair of lovers standing near the. gate of Martha's sanier, by shouting In wild clamor: "What I that? What is that? Io you know wk.t that Ma: tha?" Martha toe,!: tho bird in and set him en the sitting-room table, along with th Bide and Concordance, while he lighted a 1ft rap. Again the bird fhrleked at the solitary woman: "What was that? What was that. Martha? Polly don't want a cracker: Polly will be damned if she eats a cracker. You don't want a cracker ebi you. Martha? What was that. Mai tha? Martha will be damned if she eats a cracker. Martha. Martha. Martha!" There was a step or. the garc'-r walk and the parrot cried out in sard;.:dc exultation: "He's coming! He's coming. Martha!" And. to Martha's norror, the" front iloor opened, and there stood ta-j minister. "He's come. Martha!" rhrieked thet parrot: "damned If he ain"t! Martha. Martha, where in hell is that old craekerV" For some weeks thereafter Martha and the minister were fast friends. "He ha come hasn't he, Martha?" queried the parrot over and over, and Martha was luvre than ever Inclined to think that the

birel had a foul Sh? confided her new hope and happiness to the parrot,, end overlooked her supply of linen and unfo.oed her visions of a new silk Tor a wedding dress before the flashing eyes of the bird. Suddenly the disillusion of th" poor soul as to hr Ilrst g snel o? love came. How she faced the ordeal "If Martha was cut up, she we:!d d.ciivc the ry elect," It was Faid of her the reader must learn for hlmsflf. "Why. Martha, poor Martha! What s the matter, Martha?" wailed the parrot in n orv et uncanny sympathy and pain. The day came when the minister brought his new wife to call upon Martha, who greeted them calmly ar.d sti.hy. though inwardly her very soul stormed and protested. Of a .-.mid. n the mrrot flew in from the next room, -n,i, with a wild shriek, dashed upon the bridal bonnet, plucking furiously at the roses and plumes. "That was a damned crrcker, Martha!" concluded the parrot: and as his golden eves met hers Martha re cognized in the Üeree bird a comradeship and :sn equality, for he had given vent to a a erra tien of her own nature, and she knew forevcrmore that the parrot had a soul.

A PECULIARITY OF A KING. lleiiuke of an Aetor niul Reproof for a lien n ty. Mainly About People. Like all the rest of us. the King ha3 his pcculiarltlcr, writes a candid Englishman. One of tho most marked of these is that ho is particular to the verge of severity on the subject of decorations that should bo worn. How they should be worn, when they should be worn, are matters to which ho has always given the cUseet attention. Of this idiosyncrasy many stories are told. Here are a few: The first relates to that most popular henchman of tho King. Sir DIghton Probyn. Ilä has the right to wear many decorations, including the coveted Victorian cross. Among his honors is a cross of a leading Danish order of which he Is a knight, nnd a second Danish distinction of bs.s eminence. One evening, at Sanclrinham. a year or two ago, a targe party lud assembled at the bidding cf the Prince anel Piinccss of Wales for dinner. Indeed, so many were the quests that Sir DIghton and one 0: two others found places at a small table, a sort of "overflow" dining table In the corner of the room. It so happened that the elate was the birthday .oi the King of Denmark, although the dinner was not specially in honor of that event. Sir Dighton, over a courtier, had remembered the anniversary, and, in elres:Mr.g for dinner, had affixed to his coat the small star of the chief Danish order, but either did not look for or could not find the insignia of the lesser In Importance. Dinner was announced, and Sir Dighton was deep in the discussion of an excellent menu, when a footman brought him a message from his royal master te) the following effect: "II. R. H. is surprised to reo that Sir Dighton Probyn is not wearing the Order of ." Sir Dighton had there and then to fetch the order, and reappeared with It displayed In the correct position. In telling the story he said that he was amazed that his Involuntary omission should have been noticed ty tiie prince, who was sitting at the corner of the main dining table farthest from himself. A friend of mine was staying as fellowguest with the King some time back at a country house for a week-end The King had, as prince, the custom of sending his equerry or servant to the guests (this was entirely a male party) informing them what his wish was as to wearing decorations. On this evening my friend had received the message: "II. R. II. desires gentlemen to wear the ribbons and buttons only of their orders." He is a careless man, and he stuck two English orders nnd one foreign decoration on the lapel of his dress eeiat, and never heeded the exact positions. A few minutes to the dinner hour he came out into the passage and was making his way to the stairs, when he met the prince, who was also about to descend. He stood asiee, but the prince motioned him to join him. and they went down together. As they reached the first landing the prince, who had been looking attentively at my friend's coat. Storp-d, and. much to the hitter's confusion, said, taking hold of the lapel: "These ribbons should not be placed so. That one," pointing to a foreign cne, "has no place there at all on the present occasion; and of those two," pointing to the Knglish ribbons, "the onier should be reversed." My friend murmured his apologies, and the prince said: "I know it is not always easy to understand, but I like care to be given to such matters." My third story has to do with a wellknown and popmlar Knglish actor who, in a piay in which he appeared with great success, acted the part of a Russian general. The prince was present one evening, and noticeel that across his uniform coat the actor wore a row of six or seven crosses ami stars. When the curtain fell on the first act the prince sent an Inquiry to ask the actor to visit the royal box. Much gratified. Mr. hurried to obey, but upon entrance, instead of the congratulations he expected, the prince, after a cool greeting, pointeel to the row of gew-gaws on the military 'coat, saying with some severity: "May I ask what they are supposed to represent?" Now the truth was that they were imitrtion jewels and' crosses, supplieei by a costumer, such as any actor would naturally wear. Mr. very feebly answered that they were to represent such Russian military and civil orders as a general . of the Czar's army would probably possess. Really." Faid the prince ironically, "and you call yourself an artist. 1 am surprised that you have not taken more trouble to be exact. I think your uniform wouhl become you better if you dispense in the next act with these ludicrous ornarrents." And the actor did. But perhaps the mo.-t severe reproof which the King ever gave a subject in the matter ejf decorations was that aelministered to a very pretty young jirl in a ballroom. The? prince had invited, her to dance, ami sh., much gratified, had taken a turn or two. when the prim? noticed upon her breast the sma'.l diamond star ef a well-known English order. "Mav I ask you vhere you r-i that from?" he said, indicating the little jewel. The girl, blushing a great deal, answered that her fiance (;. young '-Ulcer of great distinction) had lent it to her to wear. "Indeed," said his royal highness coldly, "please unpin it and return It to Lieutenant Colonel s;ir and Inform him that such jewels are: not intended for the aelornment of beauty, however great." And he led his partner to her chaperon'. NEAV CLl II OP DRESSMAKERS. Active Work to lii'iu In August on u CompreheiiMit e Pinn. New York Kvtnlng 'post. There Is a new Dressmakers' Protective Association of America, which will begin its active career before Aug. 3. Pour or 3ve hundred applications for membership have already been received frra different perts of the country, but the enrollment fee has beer returned to tho renders ty the committee in charge of the affairs of the association with a notice that until August no tunds will be raised. A subcommittee consisting of L. Aaron. MI.ss Lllizabeth White and .Mr. Bluilt will go abroad on June 13 to make arrangements m Paris, on behalf of the- association, in regard to patterns, models and other business. When the committee returns the rooms of the association, which will probably be at No. 2 West Twenty-third street, v ili be opened, officers will be elected and an attempt will be made to carry out the objects oi the society. "These objects." said Mr. Aaron, a member of the- committee, "are not primarily t help dressmakers to cojiect unpaid bids or to provide lawyers to tk.. charge of cases for eiressmakers who cannot afford to defend their own rights. On tiie contrary, our aims are much more comprehensive. We hope finally to have rooms for drvrsmakers vhe come In from out of town, like a clubhouse, to furnish patterns and models at the least possible expense to lressmakers In all parts of the country, to have lec-tuies given here on the art of making dresses and ultimately to have a regular school of dressmaking. "The association will look out for the interests of dressmakers in ewry possible vuy, somewhat on the same lines as the Merchants' Association. At our rooms any out-of-town ressmaker who is a. member ot this association, ami all membersnlp costs Is a admission fee and ejuarterly ducs of Zj cnts, will be able ;o informatietn in regard to the latest styles nnd the best places for purchasing different materials, all the information, ia fact, which would r.eeeled by any one unfamiliar with New York.

' AXCIK.NT ROMANS' CLOTHES. Mnny Fabrics Used nnd Skill Employed in ArrmiBliiK Them. Scientillc American. At the December meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America Prof. Myron It. Sanford. of Middlebury College, read a most interesting paper upon "The Material of the Tunica and Toga." and we extract the following from the Journal of the Institute: With the passirg of the simple toga and tunica of the early years to the more ornate and complicated forms of dress there came to Rome many new fabrics to vie with wool. Many Latin writers tell of the use of linen, cotton, silk and various mixed stuffs. The idea students gain from the perusal of classical literature is that rarely did the newer materials actually supplant wool in making up the various articles of cloth. No one seems to have undertaken the formidable' task of an elaborate study of the existing paintings and statuary representing the lloman dress, to determine how tar the arthsts intendeei to suggest varieius materials in their drapery. In some of the portrait statues in Pompeii it Is unreasonable to believe that the clumsy, thick folds do rot represent some form of wool, and the lighter and sometimes diaphanous folds the imcr fabrics, tre-quently In painting, and not rarely in statuary, elifferent materials are to be seen in t lie clothing belonging to the same figure. The Latin department at Middlebury College has been interesteel in experimenting with a considerable variety of materials in imitation of some of the well-known figures, liesldes coming to certain conclusions regarding the graceful an i stiff folding of different cloths, the students hnel realized a fact insuhiciently emphasized in the manuals, namely, that no material from th-' heaviest wool-to the most dedicate silk will of itself take the beautiful folding shown in the ordinary . statue or painting. The drapery in the latter Is always one of two results; it is either taken from the plaits and foldings of the clothif.g of the model draped beforehand with the most painstaking care or it is the conventionalizing of the artist. Not until a trial is made wiil one realize how elaborate the process must have been to produce the r pea ranee of the toga of Hortensias, for the accidental disarrangement of which on the crowded street he sent a challenge to his friend. Often the simplicity of certain effects Is, after all, an elaborate effort. For example, the Commodus of the Vatican collection seems to have the drapery hanging from. the boely in the most natural manner, while an attempt to Imitate it will show that it is a case of art concealing: art. The simplicity is only apparent, and occasionally no imitation with material of any sort whatsoever can follow the contortions in the drapery of certain classic figures.

The typical bucket-shops are generali v dingy and ill-lighted, because they are located in old buildings whose landlords are particular regarding the tenants' ability to pay and care nothing for the tenants business. A cjuotation boanl occupies one siue of the room, as In stockbrokers' ofhecs throughout the land, and the customers sit before it and study the quotations from the New York Stock Exchange A UoKcr" whirs and clicks awav impassively and a. clerk chalks the quotations on the board or elre record. them ly means of cardboard numbers.

Thus, if you wi h to ko "long" on live shares of Atchison stoe-k at 4j. you deposit :, and receive your receipt showing you have purchased the five shares at 45; the traction representing the bucket-shop commission for buying which is the same that is chmrged by members of the New York Stock Exrhanpe fchculd the stock rise to 46 you would "cah m." or take your profits receive the difference between 45 and 45",. the last eighth being deducted for the selling commission so that on a one-point rise you make J3 73 on your five shares. On the other hand if the price declined Ti point to 44 v0u are "wiped;" you lose your entire J5. The commission? for buying and selling are house s "rake off," and you really have a run of only STU cents for your dollar. In the smaller bucket-shops, where they take orders for two shares and even for one share they deduct both commissions at once po your ticket would read. "Hought one share of Atchison at 4V;." instead of 45Vi as in the others, or 4j, as It would be In a' legitimate ofliee.
