' his•passage, was 280 feet long, and large enough to enable four men to work in it together. The entrance was hidden by a flag- stone, and part of the excavated material was plastered on the walls and whitewashed, part thrown into a cavity discovered under one of the buildings, and the lighter ma- terial dropped into a stream that intersected the prison. Candles and oil were smuggled inside, so that the tunnel could be lighted, while the man who was out- side began work from the other end. Everything was already for the escape when one of the conspira- tors became frightened and inform- ed the authorities. His reward waa $1,250 and his freedom. • Perhaps the most remarkable es- cape from prison took place in July, 1903, when four .convicts •got out of PEEP , INTO SOME UNDER- GROUND BURROWS. Prisoners Confined in Guarded Gaols Have Dug Them in Order to Escape. There is a fascination about sec- ret passages that attracts every- body. This can be amply borne out by a case which caused a great deal of excitement in New York a few weeks ago. A poor young painter watered the house next door his own, made his way to the cellar, armed only with a plasterer's trow- el, and tried to burrow a way through to a jeweller's shop some distance away, says Pearson's Weekly, He was evidently bent on plan - der, but his plans must have oris - carried, as he did not live to reach his goal. A few nights after his first visit next door he went out and did not return home. After three days his family notified the police of his strange disappearance. The police made a thorough search and eventually found his dead body at the end of his own secret tunnel, which had collapsed and suffocated him. Secret passages have all the glamor of romance, for they have been used for all sorts of purposes. Prisoners confined in closely guard- ed gaols have dug them in order to escape, kings have built them as a .refuge against assassins, and men leading double lives have utilized them for getting about unnoticed. Perhaps the two most famous in- stances of prisoners endeavoring to escape by means of secret tunnels were engineered by Americans. During the American Civil War forty Federal soldiers imprisoned in LIBBY PRISON, Richmond, Va., dug a tunnel under. the street and got clear away. This achievement was all the more re- markable as the men were impris- nned un the first floor, and the tun- nel was dug from a cellar in the east end of the building, under the street, to a carriage shed opposite. All the work had to be done at night, and as the men could not reach the basement without being seen, seventy-five bricks were taken nut of the partition wall behind the others, {rho_ ve would ring this in case replace, AS soon -as lights were a warder went below. Food was collected and placed ready in the passage, and water - bottles of tin were made. Before the escape James had broken into the sower and found a man -hole covered with soot. that communicated with a field, By By means of knives and clam some means he smuggled a crowbar shells a stone wall five feet thick into the tunnel for forcing this was pierced and the tunnel excav- manhole.

All remember the Druce case, which called so leech attention to the late Duke of Portland and his marvellous underground ball -room and riding -school, approached by a tunnel at Welbacic Park, Then there was the supposed under- ground passage to the BAKER STREET BAZAAR, London, the actual use of which has never been discovered. In Eng- land there are hunderds of ancient buildings which possess their secret passages, and during excavatione in London long forgotten tunnels are often encountered. Underneath Lismore Castle, Ireland, one of the seats of the Duke of Devonshire, the American prisoners of war con•- are one or two secret tunnels lead - fined at Princetown in the war of ing to the spacious caven in which 1812. The tunnel was successfully excavated, and everything was ready for the escape, when one of their number informed the Gov- ernor the night before the attempt witsto have been 'made. One prisonor had got.away before this, and lay 'hidden in a rottage outside the walls.

The tunnel by which the escape was made took ane man four years to excavate, and the work was all done during working hours. He attended an engine in the cellar beneath the tin shop in which he worked, and the tunnel was car- ried on during the few moments he was below. By good conduct he was allowed a little freedom with- in the shop in which he worked among other criminals serving life sentences. Two warders were al- ways on duty in this workshop, yet Peter James, a bank burglar and murderer, fashioned toots out of the tin and dug his tunnel some thirty or forty feet long under the walls of the prison into a sewer wnr•ch ran under the road outside, First he loosened a stone, and carefully balanced it so that he couldtake it out and put it back in a second. He even made himself a suit of overalls lest his prison uni- form got dirty. Once a wartier came down when the stone was out of place, but as it was in the dark the hole was not seen. When the tunnel got long he put the engine out of order so that he might have to remain below for a longer time. Three other convicts DISCOVERED HIS SECRET, and their help was enlisted. By some means a string with a bell was laid from the workshop to the tun- nel without being noticed. The turned out the prisoners removed the bricks and got down to the cel- lar to dig, while others kept watch to avoid a surprise. Every morn- ing the bricks were replaced and Owing to the difficulty of judging distance and direction the tunnel was made to come up in the wrong place, and one man actually thrust his knife into the street. A sentry above heard the noise and called • the attention of his companion to it, but the latter said it was only a rat At the end of seven weeks every- thing was ready, and en February Oth, 1804, 109 of the 200 men in the secret emerged safely from the oth- er end of the tunnel, but the Con- federate sentries saw them coming out of the shed, and sixty-nine of them were recaptured.

Uit'es Some Scientific Adriee As To lIow Cooking. Should he Done. It is far remote from justice to look upon the work of the cook as menial. The knowledge and skill now beginning to be recognizes] as culinary requisites are fast raising the nook to a position or respect and honor among other useful per- sons to 'whom we bow as we pass. I do not like the word menial, for no work of humankind in service of humankind is menial, Not long ago all useful work was considered menial. Science' for centuries was held aloof from useful application for fear of degradation. Architned- es was severely censured for call- ing science to bis aid in the defense of Syracuse THE COOK A CHEMIST. At one time physician, dentist, and barber were the same person. In England, even to -day, some bar- bers persist in pulling teeth, al- though for them to do ,so is now an infraction of the law. Primitive dentistry was limited to the art ef pulling teeth ; and medicine and surgery were confined to incanta- tions, bone -setting and bleed-let- ing. The tremendous responsibility of life or death and the attendant rewards have stimulated the phys- ician toward experiment and inves- tigation, in order to widen the hor- izon of his knowledge, until to -day medicine has becomea profound science. The work of the skilful cook is as potential for human welfare as is the work of the physician and the surgeon, for often culinary skill may save us from the physician's potion and the surgeon's knife. But is there in the profession of cooking room for as deep study and invest- igation, room for such profound knowledge as in the profession of medicine or of surgery 1 Is there not equal responsibility of life and death i Certain it is that more peo- ple die of bac] cooking. than of either bad medicine or bad sur- gery. Cooking is a noble science, and need not blush among the oth- er sciences, The greatest of the sciences is chemistry. It is the science on which all others are founded, and cooking is a child of chemistry. The chem- ist is verily a Book. In his pots and pans he has tried out of black coal - tar all the colors of the rainbow, and has converted dead, dull, waste things into aromas and flavors that make commonplace the perfumes of Arabia and the spices of India. The kitchen is the laboratory of the home. Its proper place is not in a dim corner at the rear of the house, but in the front of the house where the sunlight is. The kitchen sould be large and commodious, convenient and accessible. There is bat one best way to do a thing, and in this scientific age we are guided less and less by guess- work, more and more by accurate knowledge. Cooking, like poetry, conforms mere to taste than to science. While the farmer makes requisition on chemistry for the anelgsis of his soil and for the com- position of the fertilizers needed to bring forth the best crop of vege- tables, while he makes medicine his ally for the health of his hogs and fowl and cattle, his kitchen often continues under the sway ef acci- dent, guesswork and waste.

Excellent oil is also provided in liberal quantities to ensure the en- gine against running dry. Yet this same man will run his physical en- gine, a far more delicate and im- portant machine, right up to the limit of endurance, with never a thought of inspection ere adjust- ment so long as there is no actual breakdown or pain; and what he takes in as fuel in the shape of food three times a day or how he stokes himself with it is of far less s.erinus concern to him, as a general rule, than is the character of the gave - line or nil he ases with his autoino- bile, There are four particulars in which the cooking of tls' household, of the reetaurani', end of the hate]' might be imps ewe :oat ..ffeetually, These are econ, nsy, tee, :digest, - Dailey and el:trait:a As with roust ether things- the den:nn 1 cnntr<,lr the prim of meats.

It is, in ;flet, u1 o..it. tree least nutritious. Phe reason why it is soft and flabby and tender is the leak of work performs ed by su during life. The most nutritious parts of an animal are those highly organizer' portions that during life have been subject to the greatest variety of uses and the most exposed to strains; which they must possess the quality of withstanding. BROILING AND BAKING. A beef shank costs on the avorago about one-fifth as much es an equal weight .of sirloin or tenderloin steak, notwithstanding that its nu- tritive value is very much higher; but the meat of the shank is sinewy and tough, and requires special cooking. - When properly cooked, it is far' more tender than any steak and although of a different flavor, it makes a dish equally palatable. Hdw oto 'cook a beefsteak: The first requisite to the palatability of a beefsteak is the choice of the steak itself. A good steak is the exception, not the rule. It should be from the proper part of a pro- per animal which has been killed and hung for a proper time, A steak should be broiled 'over white-hot coals, by placingbroiler close to the coals and turning fre- quently. The intense heat sears the surface of the steak and drives the juices back into it, instead of al- lowing them to .escape and dry' up,, The surface of the meat becomes browned or caramelized, producing 'the delightful aromatic edor and de- licious flavor. The cooking should cease while the blood will still "fol low the knife," A steak should never be salted until after it is cooked, sinee.the salt, by reason of its affinity for wa- ter, draws the juices from the meat to effect its solution. Always serve a steak piping hot, for cooling destroys its . flavor, which cannot be restored by re- heating it. After being cooked, steak cannot be kept hot for long without great injury. How to cook a beef shank: Cut the shank into small pieces and place them in just enough water to cover them. Cook slowly in a far- ina boiler or other water -jacketed vessel. Rapid boiling should be. avoided, since it hardens the fibrin and destroys the gelatinous proper- ties of the sinews. The cooking should cease when all the sinews have become gelatinous and tender, for if continued longer, they be- come dissolved. Thicken to the proper consisten- cy with roasted flour. Add a piece of butter about the size of a cup. Then take some slices of stale bread or crackers, pour boiling water up- on tbem until they have absorbed all they will, strain well, and put them into the stew. The result will be a dish of ample quantity for several persons, and of delicious flavor. How to bake beans: The art of cooking beans has reached, a fair degree of perfection throughout New England, but it is an art sadly neglected in most other parts of the country. Beans are more nutri- tious than almost any other vege- table food, and when properly cooked they are among the most de- licious of all articles of diet. I have, experimented a great deal in the. preparation of baked beans, " and have obtained the best results by proceedingher: in the following Men- ' men-. - Take two quarts of plump, airy ,beans, preferably those known as torso -whit. Do not use any beans that have withered, from.being pick- ed before they were ripe. Cover the beans with cold water and let them soak for twelve hours overnight, The next morning, between six and seven o'clock, parboil chem until the skins crack when blown across, strongly with the breath. Drain the water off and cover the bottom of a farina boiler, or other water- jacketted kettle, abort three inches deep with the beans. Now put in half a dozen small onions, or one large Bermuda onion, pared and used whole, one pound of solid -fat salt pore from the bank of the ani- mal, one pound of fresh pork loin and one pound of beef shank. Then add the remainder of the beans, two tablespoonfuls of maple syrup, a little salt, and fill up with tomato juice obtained by rubbing or sifting canned tomatoes or other cooked tomatoes through a sieve, to free them from seeds and skins, Keep the water in the outer jacket gently boiling until supper -time; when the beans will be ready to serve. While they are cooking they will require no other attention than the addition of a little hot water to replace that lost by evaporation. EGGS. It is net necessary that beans shrrnlcl he baked in an oven, They: mere y need to be kept at a praper heat continually for a sufficient; period of time to cook them thor- nul,lrly, also to effect the requisite, .degree of hydration, or loose chem-' ical combination of water with the fiber of the beans. How to scramble. ,eggs: The urinal dish of scrambled eggs is a more or less tough .and stringy prndtss tion, with a greasy flavor that smells of imrlit esti„n.

Care must be taken to remove thein from the fire as soon as dome, and to serve piping hot, when they will be found to be exceedingly pala$able, as pleasing to digestion as to taste. By this method the added water combines with the albumen in the egg by a species of hydration, and renders it soft and gelatinous, pal- atable and digestible. How to boil eggs: There are two good ways to boil eggs. One is to place the eggs in cord water and bring it to a boil, not too quickly and not too slowly, when the eggs will be found .to be cooked about right, The other way is to heat an earth- en pitcher with boiling water, place in it the eggs to be cdoked, and re- fill with boiling water. Wrap the pitcher with a towel or a piece of flannel or other fabric, to aid in the retention of the heat. At the end of fifteen minutes the eggs will be found well done, and although thor- oughly cooked, the whites will be soft and gelatinous, instead of hard and tough, as when boiled in the usual manner. These few illustrations will be sufficient to show tee manner in which the kiechen may be conducted on a scientific plan with . resultant economy, and with increased palat- ability, digestibility and nutritious- ness of the dietary. -Hudson Max- im in the Youths' Companion. IS. TIRE GLOVE AT CORONATION. Dymokes are Stilt the Hereditary Champions of England. There is still a King's champion or hereditary champion of Eng- land. It was once his duty to ride on his horse in full armor into West- minster Hall at the beginning of the coronation banquet. and 'three times to challenge formally to com- bat any person who disputed the sovereign's title to the throne. The champion flung his gauntlet down es soon as the herald had announc- ed the challenge. On no occasion was any opposi- tion offered. When the champion took the gauntlet up for the third time the sovereign drank to him from a golden cup, which was then handed to the champion, who drank to his sovereign and straightway became owner of the cup. The last occasion on which the champion appeared in Westminster TXal1 to execute this magnificent duty or .privilege, rather, . was on July 19, 1821, at the coronation of George IV., when Henry Dymoke performed the ceremony on behalf of his father, the Rev John Dy- moke, rector of Scrivelsby, in Lin- colnshire, who deemed the office in- compatible with the functions of a clergyman. The Dymokes of Scrivelsby Court are still King's champions, but pro- bably the discontinuance of the coronation banquet in Westmin- ster Hall is the ,reason why they no longer ride in splendor on a mission so splendid as the corona- tion of the kings and queens of England, Since 1377 for certain the office has attached to the manor of Scri- velsby, when Sir John Dymoko claimed by virtue of his holding Scrivelsby in right of his wife to act as King's champion at the coro- nation of Richard II. The Marrni- ons were formerly King's cham- pions, and had been lords of both Scrivelsby and of Tamworth Castle. Scrivelsby is situated in a beauti- ful park not very far from Horn- castle..

Says she: "I heard once a wise physician remark that there are five minutes in every day during which more marriages are wrecked than in all the rest of the twenty- four hours. Very soon' after mar • - riage I discovered that the most critical period in the rclotions of hushnncl and wife is, the home -com- ing of the:husband from his work, Every wife makes this discovery. She finds that, however sweet -tem - leered her lriisband may be at other times, he is almost certain to be irritable when he carnes home in the evening. ' "Very naturally, the thoughtless woman is disappointed. She expects him to demonstrate his great pleas- ure in rejoining, her, and finding him grumpy, she feels slighted. If she be a woman without the good sense rind tact that make marriage a success, she pays him back in his own . coin, and they are both un- happy for the rest of the evening. Fortunately for me,. I had work- ed myself before marriage,,. and understood how physically low a man or woman feels after a day at business: "At the beginning of our life to- gether I acted on the advice of the physician referred to, and always have ready a small cup of beef tea or chicken broth or hot milk, which he has to take, willing or unwilling. The effects are marvellous. I do. not spoil him, quite the contrary” END OF POVERTY IS SURE. Professor Bases Assertion on Phil- osophy of History. Dr. Jacob. H. Hollander profes sox' of economics' of John Hopkins University, in predicting that a day will come when poverty will be as obsolete as slavery, based his op- inion on his historical studies and his personal investigation of char- itable methods in vogue to -day. He insisted that the modern -world is wrong in believing that poverty is inevitable, just as the ancient aworble,ld has been proved wrong in assuming that slavery was inevit- "We have grown to look on pov- erty as a permanent condition," ho said, "but there was a time when slavery was regarded as a neces- sary condition. Even Plato in his vision of an idea commonwealth, included slavery. I believe same day the future generations will look back on :the poverty of our day with the same astonishment we feel in contemplating slavery. The philosophy of history points in this direction," The effort now being made to get at the cause of poverty, he said, is in the right direction. and will lead' to a solution of the whole problem. So deeply was the impression made by his prediction that he was asked. after the meeting if he had been misunderstood. `No," he replied. "I believe that the modern world will see the end of poverty," EMPEROR OF JAPAN A POET. Even the Poet Lanerate of the ftfugdosn Praises His Verse. The Emperor of Japan is 58 years of. age.

The Emperor is in no way a sentimentalist, and never by any thence touches on the subject of love.
