All Madrid has been amused at s
remarkable experience' which befell
Senor Cliucca, the popular composer,
a.- few lays ago la . the- Spanish
capital, 'says the New York Tribune.
In his latest piece, La Gran Via,"
which has been thcechicf attraction
at the opera house for some time,"
. the maestrtf has endeavor eel !Jto in
mortal izo three' pickpockets know'u
as 'Les trcs Ratas;" ITBe charac
ters; in fact, ore the chief ones of
the piece. J , Z , . " ' ' '
Wliile ridinff recently In one of
the tram-cars of Madrid one of the
lonjf-finjrcrcd r-gentry" relieved
Chucca of his pocketboolf ,coiitai uing
his photograph and three hundred
pesetas. ,: : The composer .'. reported
the robbery to th& police, with little
hope howgv&y of . rcfraininj his
property. The incident , nature Iy
was told --Li the newspapers.
Twenty-four hours later the senor
received a package 'containing the
money and the following letters
?'MosT Ho'fioaED MASTEtt: Dy mis
take one of our colleagues yesterday
stole your pockctboolj and its con
tents. TThroUgh the papers he
learned of hi3 error. . The president
of tjjo society, ta whom wub intrust
ecTtho duty of repairing the evil
done, honors himself in returning
thl3 to you, with the three hundred1
pesetas. In order to avoid such a
mistake - in the future we have re
tained your photograph, to which
wo will give o prominent place in
our council .chamber. ' Never aain
will , the . honorable ; association of
Madrid pickpocket ferret that it
was you, honored master, through
your pcita, who gave us & re
spectable and rlpservin.s place in
society. -With the highest respect,
. , , .'r.8 Tecs Rata3."
The famous-composer, however; ia
not the only one in Spain who is to
be exempt from the depredations
of thia .plnss of citizens. .' A few
day3 after Chucca had recovered his
property the wife of Senor Morauo,
a- prominent editor of Barcelona,
lost her gold watch . studded with
diamonds. - The senor in his paper
olfered a reward for the- return of
the timepiece, promising to ask i no
questional " The' paper had been , on
the street only a few hours trhon a
handsomely dressed man called at
the ofiic.c and asked to see the editor.
He gavo him a patkagc and disap
peared. ; The packugo contained the
watch. ;' Tho .naxt mail brought a
letter, saying that . tho watch had
been stolen by a Barcelona "rata,"
but that as soon ns tho council had
learned that tho jewel belonged to
an editor's, wife it had decided to re
turn it. "We aro not less honors
able," the. letter went on, "than our
Madrid colleagues. Artists, authors
and journalists in future arc to bo
safe against our attacks." ;
, Another Lincoln Story. .
"It was years ago," remarked
Senator Voorhoes, "when I was ju3t
beginning tho practice of law. My
circuit used to take me over into
;prn Illinois. " It was then I first
sawwAbe Lincotn. Ho waa practis
ing law then and was very success
ful I recall a story ho told on
some opposing lawyer during the
argument of a case.
" 'Our friend, said Lincoln to tho
jury, ls not responsible altogether 1
for the very remarkable argument
with which ho has afflicted you. Our
friend is all right fn a conversation,
and ho may even examine a witness
fairly well. , Dut the moment bo em

comes peculiarly affected. In fact
Its operations while our friend Is
speaking seen so very much retard
ed they might almost be said to havo
ceased. In this respect he rcmindn
mo of a steamboat. I knew many
years ago, and which busied itself in
the Ohio river. This puffing lit
tle steamboat was of unusual, not to
say Illogical, construction. It had a
five-foot boiler and a seven-foct
whistle; and every timo It whistled
it stopped. It reminds me, very
much, gentlemen, of our friend "

Perhaps not many women know
that beautiful portieres may be
made from old silk rags. Many cor
respondents have asked for informa
tion on ; the subject, ' says Maria
Parloa, in Ladies' Home Journal, -f
Q Suppose you have a bag in somo
closet where you put every scrap of
silk you como across," such as trim-tnirigs-cUtfrom
dresses When dress
makihgjold ribbons which children
may have worn in their hair soiled
and faded it may bo, yet serviceable
when washed; ' sash curtains, worn
and faded; : .'covers "'of; parasols; In
fact, anything in the way of silk,
satin or velvet. Nothingis too old
to bo used. A - miscellaneous lot
Will give your portieres the Oriental
look you desire. . But the sewing of
them will try your patience. 1 Cut
all but the very thin silk, the velvet
and tho satin, oue-lhird of an inch
widei the velvet, satin and thin silk
two-thirds of a( inch wide. Do not
begin to sew until you have a big
basketful cut. Mix your colors well
before sewing them. Lay tho end
of one plec3 flat oU the end . of an
other, lapping half an inch, and sew
all around the four sides of ' your
lap, using a number sixty thread
and a running stitch., Fasten firm
ly. As you sew the velvet, satin
and thin silk, fold them so that both
sides may bo the samo. "Do not dis
"card the small pieces. It is tire
some to sew them, but if. you uso
them for this nit-or-miss stripe you
will have this fact to comfort you:
the smaller these pieces are tho more
beautiful will this stripe be in your
portiere , As soon as you have
several yards sewed begin to wind
your ball and wind, solidly;; ; Make
the balls as large as you choose.
Now take out your old ' black silk, of.
which very Hkely you have a good
many pieces; but before you begin
with ; those buy ; some gilt tinsel
braid about half an inch wide. It
coats about one dollar and a half for
a dosea pieces of ten yards each." At
every . three or four yards of your
black cutting sow I11 a quarter of a
yard of the gilt braid, v It will add
much beauty to the weaving; : , Your
bright silks come next.; Cut them
separately. - They' may hot make
many yards, but wind them into a
little ball, even as small an 'amount
as six yards, especially. lfyou havo
some pi'ctty colors. . They will show
well in your curtain, f Yoil may
have old white or faded- silk. If it
isoiled wash it and get a package
of good dyo to color Itr"lixccllent
success may bo had with' tha yellows
and rods. . You have old black silk
velvet.;, It looka: well as a strip from
six to ninoA; inches from tho , top of
your curtain. ": Old silk-; stockings
weave in beautifully. You . should
cut them "from,, tho top round and
round tho leg,- and you havo It all
done without any scwingC ; Cut this
material a little wider than tbo plain
silk, becau30 it will stretch. -It will
take one pound of silk for every
fwunre yard pf portiere.- You want
them woven, say fifty-four - inches
wide and three yards long. For a
pair o' curtains of that size you
want nino pounds of, silk. The
arrangement of tho'colorin;j in tbo
strip3 may bo pretty safely, left to
tho weaver. ; You . can, if you
choose, take , cut pieces of all your
colors and sr or paste them on
paper fr just tho design you desiro
to have followed. Suclipwrt of the
tinsel braid a you do not use in
your black silk you may send to the
weaver in order to have a few rows
woven in now and then through your
