BERING SEA CRISIS.
The President Says the Question is
One of Honor and SelfRespect.

The Senate made public the recent CORE
spondence between England and the United
States respecting the Boring Sea contro-
versy. The reply of President Harrison to
the Marquis of Salisbury is signed by Acting
Secretary of State Wharton.
The President insists on the renewal of the
modus vivendi, and calls attention to the
gravity of the situation, saying that he isnot
willing to be responsible for the results Of the
insistence by either Government during this
season on the maintenance of its extreme
rights He added that the question is not
one of money or gain, but of honor and self
respect and that the proposition to exact
bond from the owners of Canadian vessels
can hardly be made seriously, and declines
to discuss it.
Lord Salisbury, for considerations that
keep the Canadian poachers faithfully in
view, declined to assent to a renewal of last
years modus vivendi and the President,
while making one more appeal to that end,
closes his note with the assurance that If it
should become necessary this Government
will protect the rights it claims in the seals
with all of the power it possesses.

the subject of tables with not six inches of

heads are not allowed to rest; lamps so be-
furbelowed that they add nothing to the

as is usually the case, the better part Of
the pictures on the wall; fur rugs over
which those with failing eycsight are con-

for rrn2ctiOn to prove to sensible persons
that this craze for stutling and littering
the home has been carried to ridiculous
excess.
Beauty should preside in every house
hold it is true, but it is better to err al
ways on the side of simplicity and of util-
ity merely, than on that of foolish, mean
ingless adOrnment. There is undoubtedly
u desirable half way point between the
home without any consideration for the re-
fnement of appearance and that which is
either vulgar aggregation Of furnishings
too fine for the Use of the humanity which
seems i'll at ease in their midst, or a com
bination of the cheapest results of machine
labor overlaid by a display of silly hand

If you are the least bit nervous about

anything-for an hour in iced water before

take away the last shade of reproGch that
may cling to that best friend Of the busy
housekeeper, the canned article. Ofcourse
10 one should depend too much on that
sort of supply, but the knowledge that
you have a stock of tongue, chicken, Jelly,

be reached at a moments notice, helps to
make unexpected lunch or dinner com

lightful addition to plain dinner, and the
canned chicken or lobster will make them

WOMAN AND HOME.
ECONOMICAL WIVES AND SISTERS AMI
HOW THEY SAVE MONEY.

INSIDE Our Homcs-Tho Duty of Every
Mothcr--A Heroine ut the washtub.
Bedroom Corners-Nyhen to Use Canned
Goods.
The fact that women are economical and
money savers is difficult to impress upon
The minds of men as class. The methods
adopted by women are sensible and prac-
teal, sometimes ludicrous and often pa
thetic, according to the position in which
they are placed in regard to the amounts
which fall TO their lots to dispose of. One
who denies herself even the common deli
racies, not to mention the necessaries, OF
life. is not good example for others.
Whenever a woman is allowed a certain
sum or earns IA regular amount, with
which all expenses must be met, then she
is better able to appreciate relative values,
and she will soon accustom herself to the
best methods of procuring the most and
best for her money. As a class women are
more saving than men ever think OF beng.

politicians this state has ever produced was

WHY Some Cake Always Cracks.

One of two things. says the teacher Of
cooking, must take place TO cause II cake
to crack. In the first place pastry flour
only should be used for delicate cakes-in
fact for all cakes. II You use ordinary
-four, which may contain spring wheat,
the cake of course is too thick, and the
starch cells in baking or cooking require
more moisture than they can get from the
given quantity Of liquids or corresponding
materials in the cakes. Use, then, less
flour, although should say buy the win
ter wheat -four for cake. Then again the
oven may he too hot when the cake goc.,
III, or it may be placed TOO near an upper
heat. Al cakes should be baked at first
on the floor of the oven II the crust is
formed too soon, the uudcrheat will force
the heat up, and a. the gas escapes it
breaks the crust and leaves Of course the
crack, so that it is either too hot an oven
at first, or the wrong kind of -four that
causes the trouble.
The same authority prefers water to
milk in those cakes that are rich with but
ter. as she believes it makes Il loaf moe
delicate and with a softer crust. Water
of course in such cases must be added
gradually.

Linen for wedding Presents.

Why is not house linen given more often
as wedding present? Save in large guam
titles. when some generous godmother
vr aunt stocks the linen closet for the
bride, it is rarely thought of, and yet it
would make n most acceptable present,
even in the smallest quantities. A dozen
beautifully marked towels, for instance,
or n tablctloth with a dozen napkins to
match: or. what is very seldom seen in the
linen press nowadays, but what can still he
bought at the large linen clnporiums, gem

these with wide hemstit ched tops and bot
toms would be thoroughly appreciated by
any dainty lady who looked forward to
her own linen closet as almost the best part
of her future establishment. York
