Mc Curdy, who was ousted from the pres idency of the Mutual. For more than a year now these two ostracized mill ionaire votaries of high finance have luxuriated In the distracting atmos phere of Paris, Hyde, who Is really better known In Paris than he was at any time p ew York, Is living an easy life. His most serious effort at tW present time Is to become known as the king of the Paris Latin quarter. To this end Hyde, is spending his money lavishly, and the wide circle of Bohemian painters and litterateurs, which he has gathered nround him, regard him as their pa tron saint. Hyde lives In a beautiful and mam moth mansion In Avenue Henri Martin. In -the spacious salon of his beautlfif home Hyde gives regular entertain ments, which are the very acme of epi curean splendor. His favorite pastime Is to entertain large parties of his giddy friends upon automobile excur- NEW SWIMMING GLOVE. A swimming glove to aid man In his progress through the water Is a recent Invention. It gives the swimmer the assistance the duck derives from his weblfed feet Greater speed and a great er distance covered,'' with less, fatigue than with the naked hands, are claimed to be the advantages the wearer of this glove will enjpy.

By these and other means Hyde has at this time successively blotted out, so far as Paris Is concerned, the which followed eonnec- tlon with the Insurance revelations. He is the hero of the impecunious horde of long-haired youths of the boulevards. Hyde participates fu'ly In the free and easy life of the Latin quarter. -At the last artists' ball, Hyde made a big hit Impersonating an Arabian gypsy. Recently Hyde has shown a tendency to re-enter aristocratic French society, and among the fashionables of Paris his princely wine cellar 15 exciting won der and admiration. Richard A. McCurdy's existence In Paris has been quite the opposite of Hyde's, though It Is well Intended to blot from the memory of the former Mutual president the disagreeable ex periences of a year and a half ago. McCurdy's life In Paris has amounted almost to (monastic retirement He Is surrounded by an exclusive circle of personal friends, and he Is devoting himself to simple diversions which car ry with them ho distasteful memories. He Is never seen In the gay centers of Paris, and he Is entirely unknown In society. He reads ' no . newspapers. When an effort was made to Interview him he seut word that he would feel keenly any further notoriety In connec tion with the Insurance scandal. At this time It Is learned from a personal friend of McCurdy's that, while he Is attempting In every possible, way to eradicate memories of the scandal which enmeshed him, be finds It diffi cult to have any complete comfort In his life. James' W." Alexander, ousted presi dent of the Equitable Life, who was a third prominent figure In the Insur ance scandals, Is on a trip around the world with a party of friends. SENTENCE TO PEISON SHIP, One Declared to' Be l'anlly Enough (or Worst of Sailors. "The serving of one sentence aboard a prison ship Is usually enough for the worst of sailors," said L. H.. Dunlavy, who. has Just concluded his term of enlistment 1 the hospital corps of the United States navy. . ' He served as nurse for a time on board the United States naval prison ship Southery at Portsmouth, N. II.. . . '"They have no cells on the ship," Dunlavy said. "The prisoners are lock ed, at night In the forward and afteV berj decks. They are compelled to work, every day except Sunday In the navyv yard. Sunday they, have to at tend, religious services. They get rath er to liking Sunday too. , , ' "It gives them a chance to let out their voices when the hymns are be ing sung. Their working hours are from 6:30 to 11 o'clock In the morning and from 1 to 4 o'clock In the after noon. That Isn't all they have to do, They are required to atteud a school, The common branches only are taught The recitations are held at night. From 0 to 7 o'clock at night Is the dally study hour and they have to stiidy too, "A marine guard of eighty; men 'po lice' the ship and do sentry work over. the prisoners while they nre at work, Ordinarily there are about 250 prison ers on the ship. Very few escape. Oc casionally one tries to run by the sen tries, but It's a big risk, for marines carry rifles loaded with ball and have orders to shoot any prisoner attempt ing to get away."

If any one gives you more than he gets In return, rest assured It Is coun terfeit I Dough Ralaer, A heater especially Intended to raise bread by means of the beat of a lamp has been recently patented by a Wis consin man. As .shown In the Illus trntion, the casing Is of sheet, metal, the' lower portion haying openings for 'the admission of air. The casing Is bottomless. A partition havlngflu opening In the cen ter divides the ud- UAKES BBEAD BISE. nD(j ,ower g. tions, a lamp being placed below this Opening when' the heater Is'ln use. Sup ported above the opening Is a deflecting cone, the point of the cone being directly over tbe lamp. Near the top of the up per nared section are -a number of holes. The sides of the bread pan are flared, the edges of the pn neatly rest- ng and fitting on the edge of the cas ing. The supposition Is that' .-the hot air from the lamp rises and Is deflected by the cone, so that It reaches the sides of the bread pan and escapes through the boles at the top, preventing excess heat around the pan. The time saved by the use of this heater will be In stantly recognized. , Hashed Brown Potatoe. lnere .are TWO Wflvn rt nmnnplnff thnoA ...... I ... .1 i ,. , . . - . . . .J V. . .

Do not stir them. When a nice brown color on the bottom and dry and floury looking on top, they are done. .Fold them over carefully, like an omelet, turn out on a hot plate and garnish with parsley and grilled tomatoes. x Pear Parfaft.

The Democrats of Oklahoma have' se lected as one of the United States Sen ators to represent Oklahoma, Thomas' P. Gore, of Lawton, who Is totally blind. 'Ills nomination Is equal to an election. This Is the first time iu the history of the. United States that a blind man has eyer been sent to the Senate, as Mr. Gore will be when state hood Is accomplished under the present proposed constitution. Mr. Gore has been 1 politics all his life,, beginning as a page in the Mis sissippi ' Senate when he-was but 11 , ' THOMAS P. GORE. years old. It was during that time that he lost his eyesight by 'an accident with an arrow gun. Three years pre Ivously he had lost his left eye, a play mate, In a moment of passion, striking him with a stone. " Mr. Gore is but 36 years of age. He lives at Lawton, has a wife and four children, and is a - lawyer by profes sion. His memory Is a wonder. When his father prepared to send him to a blind school, he refused to go, saying that schools for the blind did not fur nish him the hooka and opportunity he desired. So he went to the public schools and college, getting through by reason of his acute memory. Watery Eyes. Relief may be obtain ed by bathing the eyes several times a . day with a wash consisting of ten 'grains of pure borax and two ounces ! of camphor water. Rheumatic Knee. Try salicylate of soda, five drams ; Cincture of nux vom ica, three drams, and essence of pepsin enough to make four ounces. The dose for an adult Is one teaspoonful every two or three hours. Superfluous Hair. A growth of hair Is annoying to a girl who wears short sleeves. Depilatories are dangerous and electrolysis, the only sure cure, Is an expensive treatment To minimize the trouble dark hairs may be bleached. Wash the arms with a weak solution of ammonia and water. Then pour a lit tle peroxide! of hydrogen In the water and apply- with a piece of linen. The bleaching process will have to be re peated from' time to time, but peroxide Is harmless to the skin. Nasal Catarrh. In the treatment of this persistent and often Intractable dis order, good results .have been obtained by the internal' administration five or six times each day of one-half teaspoon- . ful doses In one-half ounce of water of a mixture of one ounce of specific echin acea and two ounces of stllllngla. The latter Intensifies the action of echina cea In Its Influence upon , the mucous surfaces. Tincture of gelsenilum, two 1 drops' eveVy hour during the day,push ed to a physiological point, will abort a catarrhal, cold: Three grains of salicy late of strontium, added to each dose, , reinforces It If rheumatism Is suspected. Neuralgia. If the neuralgia is In the ., right side of the face the left band should be placed In a basin of water as hot as can be born ; or if neuralgia Is In the left side of the face, then the , right hand should be placed In the hot water. It Is asserted that In this way relief may be obtained In less than five minutes. The two nerves which have tha crroaffMit nn.iiK n ..it i j i are the fifth and the medium nerve. As the fibers of these two nerves cross any Impulse conveyed to the left hand will affect the right side of the face, or If applied to the right, hand will affect the left aide of the face. This Is on. account of the crossing of the cords. . Other people'a happiness gives a pea wmlst a headache. 1 ll 'H
