MAY BROOKYN'S SUPERSTITIONS.

The Actrtu Kept In Her Room What Seems to Be a List of Omens. In Miss Brookyn's room wore writings which attested her superstition. The name of a "test medium and psychometrist" of this city was on a card which she kept. In her handwriting was what appeared to be a list of omens. It began With an incomplete account of what the months had in store for her. This was 18 follows:

Feb.—Avoid O. 8. June—P. I.

•J Aug.—Good. Nov.—

I

Below this was a statement of what the letters meant. This was as follows: H—Good deal freely.

E—Not BO good In woman as man. O—Very bad. 8—Unpleasant news from a distance surprise.

A—Good male or female. P—Good. L—Very good male or female. K—Good new friend. V—New friend good fair man. Don't marry in '94 '96 good. 68 or 61. 8Q. 5 8. B—Is very good deal freely. W—Proposition: good for flirtation never inarry.

C—Good male or female. M—Better woman. T—New friend good. G—Very good. N—Not quite so good lie careful. She had drawn a rude circle, and there were dots in it as if a pencil point came down in many places. The supposition Is that the letters were placed inside a circle, like the numbers on the face of clock, and she then let the pencil held in aer fingers drop wherever chance brought It. The letter on which it hit signified the outcome of whatever she might have been thinking of. In this manner doubtless she found whether the months were to be good or bad for her.

She had marked February as a month to avoid and with the letters "O 8." Ac cording to the mystic dictionary, "O" meant that February was very bad for her and "Sp that she would receive unpleasant news from a distance. Curiously nlie did got somo news from Nev York lately, which is presumed to have been unpleasant, and February proved to be tho month of her grievous exit from the world.

A spiritualistic doctor lingered around tho Baldwin theater yesterday until he could tell Mr. Presbrey, manager of the Palmer company, that he had received knowledge of the reunion of the souls of Lovecraft and Miss Brookyn. The spiritnalistic theory is that when her efforts to establish communication with her lover's spirit failed she felt the necessity of taking exactly the same terrestrial route that he had journeyed on. To employ any other poison than carbolic acid might serve to keep them parted forever, and Bo sho submitted herself to the scorching liquid. She bought tho deadly draft in Columbus, O.., on Nov. 20 and treasured it until she felt impolled to put the bottle to her lips.—San Francisco«Chronicle.

A WEIGHTY YOUTH.

A Virginia Hoy Who Is Only Fifteen Tear* Old. but Weighs 535 rounds. Wythe county numbers within its population the greatest man in the commonwealth, if one considers his dead weight—Melviu Grubb, whose wondrons girth and ponderous limbs make him tho daily wonder of his neighbors. He was /born something more than 15 years ago and has over since that event kept his neighbors wondoring at his growth. Each year since he was 10 has seen from 50 to 100 pounds added to his weight, until ho is believed now to bo the heaviest youth alive, and should liia avoirdu4?oi8 appreciate at the same rapid rate he

Will soon break all the heavyweight records since Adam. At 18 years of age he weighed 410 pounds at 14, 450, and now at 15 the scales creak at 585 pounds, and tho end is not yet.

Grubb is not merely a mountain of flesh. but an active and intelligent boy. He can follow a plow all day without nusual fatigue and is a bright and intelligent pupil of the public school near his father's farm at Walter's Bridge, ty miles west of Wytheville.—Richmond rimes.

A BAY KNIGHT ON HOOFS.

He Saved His Master's Little Daughter From the Attacks of a Savage Cur. The bay Jack is one of a dozen hunters which Mr. James B. Dill keeps in his stable at his home on Harrison street, Orange. His fad is breeding hunters. The other morning Mr. Dill was standing just inside the stable door talking to his groom and had Jack's bridle in his hand.

Suddenly he heard a scream and recognized the voice as that of his little daughter. Jack, the bay hunter, heard it, too, and be must have recognized it, for quicker than it takes to tell and before Mr. Dill realized what had happened, Jack had jerked the bridle from Mr. Dill's hand, backed out of the stable and was running across the stable yard. Mr. Dill followed, and what he saw was calculated to make him follow pretty rapidly. His little daughter was being attacked by a dog—a big, ugly, yellow cur that did not belong around the place. Sho had seen her father return from his ride and had started from the house to the stable to meet him, as was her custom. The strange dog bad sprung at her. Its teeth were tearing her dress, and she was vainly struggling to release herself.

What Mr. Dill saw Jack, the bay hunter, saw, too, and he must have had the same appreciation of the little girl's danger that the father had. Running until he reached the little girl and the dog, he reared up on his hind legs and then brought his fore feet down with crushing force on the vicious cur. The dog released its hold on the girl's clothing and fell, but Jack had not finished his work. Turning just as the dog was about to rise again, he let fly his hind legs and gave the cur a kick that landed it in a heap against a stone fence full 10 feet away. Then Jack's work was done, and he waited for Mr. Dill to come up.

Mr. Dill found that his little daughter was not injured, though badly frightened. Then he went over and took a look at the dog. It was dead. Then he went over to his bay hunter, Jack, gave him an affectionate slap or two and placed his little daughter on Jack's back. The hunter seemed to appreciate the compliment and neighed with delight as he started for the'stable, where Mr. Dill told the groom to give him "the best in the house and plenty of it."—New York World.

PAGES IN CONGRESS.

The Careers Before Them Are Not In All Cases Very Desirable. There are lads now employed as pages in the house and senate who have undoubtedly embarked on careers which will revolve about the huge marble building ou Capitol hill. Some one of them may live to step into the shoes of Captain Bassett, for instance, the aged and dignified assistant doorkeeper of the senate, who began his services in the upper chamber over 60 years ago and is apparently good for several years more. Some of them may become plain, ordinary, everyday doorkeepers of the house or senate.

There is one man watching a senate door these days who has occupied that bne position for 14 years. For years before ho began this work he was similarly employed in the house of representatives. The pay of a doorkeeper is not very large, and the distinction which attaches to the place is absolutely nil. The work is not arduous, however, and the man who fulfills it does not have to use either his hands or his brains to any extent—a fact which seems to have had weight with some of the doorkeepers.

If the parents of tho lads who are now running about the capitol a't the beck and nod of senators and representatives were to be guided by the experience of persons who have held these positions, they might display less anxiety to condemn their offspring to an undesirable future.—Cor. New York Times.

"HE WEARS RUBBERS."

A. New Slang I'll ruse Which Has Canght on In the Metropolis. During a recent discussion between a newspaper man and State Senator Owens of Brooklyn on the merits of a third person the senator said: "Why, that man is no good. He's not even decent. The fellow wears rubbers."

The newspaper man was at a loss to understand the senator's meaning, but not wishing to appear behind in the slang of the day said nothing. The next day he approached a well known politician and asked him about it. "What does it mean when you speak of a man as wearing rubbers?1' he said. boy," said the politician, "that is the very latest slang expression. It simply means that a man is a sneak that, figuratively speaking, he approaches you with muffled feet. If you go into any polioe museum in the country, one of the things they'll show you is the rubber shoe that the sneak thief or the assassin uses. It is an ordinary- tennis shoe, with a rubber sole and a canvas upper, and the only reason it is worn by crooks is because it gives them an opportunity to creep up behind their victim without being heard."

Another new bit of slang is, "He doesn't cut any ice." It simply means that he or she, whichever sex is referred to, plays no part. Both of these expressions are almost brand new, and the first, at least, is likely to become much in vogue with people who like to piece out their vocabulary with slang.—Brooklyn Letter.

Green at the Drawing Room. The queen's first drawing room was interesting chiefly as a guide to the coming season's fashions. The number present was about half that of some of last year's receptions. Spring tints prevailed, and the feminine world will receive with various emotions the news that green still holds strange away as a fashionable

It i* a matter of congratulation,

however, that the favorite tones are more moderate than two or three seasons ago. The shockingly intense greens are disappearing. Brides almost all wore the purest white.—London Oor. New York

ABOUT ROAST BEEF

The Most Economical Cat For a large Family—How to Serve It. After much experimenting with various cuts of roast meat a correspondent of Country Gentleman writes:

I have decided that the best and most economical cut for a large family is a sirloin roast* Let the butcher cut off three or four steaks until it gets well into the tenderloin then take a thick piece, the larger the better, for your roast. Mine usually weighs from 15 to 18 pounds. Prom the coarse end have from three to five pounds cut and put it in pickle. There will now remain a solid piece of tender, delicious beef, with absolutely no waste about it except the slender bladelike bone which intersects it, from which, if you are thrifty, you will make a delicious soup when the beef has been all eaten. Roast it rare. Make at least a quart of thickened brown sauce, with the gravy in the pan, and set this away for future use. When you begin to carve the clear juice will begin to flow, giving sufficient dish gravy for the first dinner

Should you be so little of an epicure as to fail to appreciate the delights cold roast beef of this superior grade cut some thick slices for the second day dinner. Make a pint of the brown grav hot. Lay them in and serve as soon heated through. A few minced mush rooms added will quite change the char acter of this dish. For a third dinner heat the slices for a moment on the broiler and spread with a bearnaise sauce. Serve around a mound of French peas.

You can also make a couple of break fast minces. Chop the meat fine fry an onion, cut small, in a little butter stir in flour dilute with water, season and color with Tournade's kitchen bouquet moisten the mince with this, heat thor oughly and serv-e on squares of buttered toast, crowning each with a poached egg. Little balb of mashed potato rolled in crumbs and fried brown make a pretty garnish for a breakfast mince

Making Over Old Dresses.

The following practical and timely hints are furnished by Harper's Bazar: In making over last year's dresses of silk or of cloth it is a good plan to use the skirt as an overskirt above a sham skirt of velvet or of silk. If the lower part of the skirt is soiled, it can be re moved, as the overskirt curves up almost to the knee on the sides and drops down in front and back only half the distance between the knee and the foot of the lower skirt, leaving the latter showin plainly where it is smoothly banded on the foundation or skirt lining.

This is very pretty in silk skirts of five or six breadths finished with a velvet binding and falling on a velvet lo'wer skirt. Thus a dress of green and browr shot silk, with waving brown stripes, has an overskirt curved up the sides to show a brown velvet sham skirt. The velvet is also used as leg o' mutton sleeves and as a folded collar, a belt and in points in front and back like a guimpe. This ar rangement may do away with soiled or worn parts of the silk, and the dress may be further renewed by placing horseshoe curves of velvet under the armholes in a way now fashionable.

Overskirts that fall in points, either three or five, always having one point low in front, can be cut according to the cloth of a left over dress. If th6 skirt is full enough at the top for the present fashion, it is an easy matter to cut out the points below. But if the top is too scant, and the lower part of the skirt is not soiled, the narrow upper part can be cut off and thus greater width obtained When skirts are shortened thus and pointed, the lower skirts should be of the same color, though a different ma terial may be used, as cloth over velvet or sacking over moire or bengaline.

Aprons For Romping Children. A sensible mother who finds it necessary to limit her laundry list and to delay the wearing out of garments as long as possi ble makes both her little sons and daughters wear high necked aprons when playing in the house. The sleeves of jackets and seats of trousers are saved much wear, and her children paint, use ink, model in clay and do various other delightful but sport provoking things without restraint.

Concession is made to the small boy's desire to look manly by making his aprons with a sailor collar and with a yoke laid in three box plaits. The aprons are of blue and white checked gingham, made with enough fullness to prevent their hanging like strait jackets, and may be worn with a leather belt. The little boy who wears these aprons is by no means a homespun looking child, for beneath the apron, when play is over, is found a natty suit of blue serge in winter and of white duck in sum mer. If the days are very warm, the apron only may be worn.—New York World.

London's Fad 1 or Eating Salt. Coming home upon the underground the other evening, I read in an evening paper of anew habit which threatens to decimate us—the salt habit. People carry salt crystals about with them, at which they continually nibble. In time they lose their hair wad eyelashes. Looking up from my paper suddenly, I saw this startling intelligence confirmed. A man in the opposite comer laid down his evening paper (it was the best evening paper), and took a small packet from his waistcoat pocket, which he unscrewed. It contained a white granular substance. Taking a pinch'between his finger and thumb, he swallowed it, "Excuse me, sir. Is that salt?" I asked, leaning forward excitedly. He smiled and pointed to the article (in the paper). "Have some?* he said. I took it—Pall Mall Budget.

few days later he sent a petition to the mayor and city council in which he says: "I gave in my taxes in 1893 when I was intoxicated.
