blue eyes and merry face, but she has
wiry muscles, 4 clear head and 4 deal
of seif-confdence when it comes to en-
gineering matters, and she has known
all there is to be known about navi-
eating boat since she was 4 little girl
in short skirts. She is the daughter of
a steamboat engineer and the wife of
another. She comes of seaworthy
stock, and as she tells the story, it was
the most natural thing in the world
that she came to be an engineer.
The first steam boat 1 ever ran was
my fathers" she explains. WED
often take little excursions up to Bos-
ton on it, and one day l was in the en-
gine-roon when the bell rang to go on,
and I stepped up and started her. My
father let me run the beat up to Bos-
ton, and very often afterward 1 acted
as engineer on our pleasure trips.
After my marriage we went sontb
to Charleston, and then to Savannah,
Ga, where my husband became engi-
neer of the H. N. c. SIaith on the
Savannah river. The captain asked
ny husband to bring I1c down one day,
and SO I went with him one morning a.
four o'clock. and happened to be in the
engine room when the signal came to
start. Ny husband had stepped out for
a minute. and before he could respond
I started her up. Ny husband wcs busy
at something else. and when he saw
was IN his place he called oat: Think
you can manage all right? and I called
back Yes SO he went on with what he
was doing. Of course 1 didn't suppose
anybody was around, but when l hap
Dened to turn to the window I saw
man watching me with both eyes and
his mouth wide open with astOnish-
1nent. It was an old pilot. and it only
took DAY or so to spread the news,
and when ID go along the street after
ward 1 used 10 her the people remark:
There goes the lady engineer"
Her husband is well-known steam
boat and railroad man, a member of the
Brotherhood of Engineers; her father
is Capt. John Fl. Smith Of the Fourth
Cliff life-saving station at Scituate,
Mass. Capt. Smith traces his ancestry
direct from Pcregrine White, who was
born aboard the Mayfower. The high
bacl1ed colonial chairs, the prayer
books and family records have have
come down 10 him as hcirlooms, and
the stories that Madge heard earliest,
instead of the fairy tales of the
'.Three Bears and Little Red Rid
ing Hood, =" was the the story of her
revolutionary grandaunts, genera
ticns back. Rebecca and Abigail, the
daughter of Lighthouse Keeper Bates,
who with fife and drum played as if an
army marched and put the British fleet
to fight in the time of war.
Little Mrs. Trueworthy is ambitious
to take the examination and apply for
a marine license, which will make her
a full-fedged engineer, and SO it is
among the possibilities that in the flu
ture of the new woman she may be en-
gincer on great ocean steamer and sail
the seas over.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

Squeezed the Hand of Empress in the
Fervor of Recitation.
G. W. Smalley, in Studies of Men,"
relates the following incident: "Tenny-
son was one of the party invited some
years since by Sir Donald Currie on a
yachting trip, the yacht provided being
an ocean steamer of the South Africa
line, known as the Pembroke Castle.
Mr.. Gladstone was another guest, 1
think-certainly he was on one of the
two or three trips then taken. There
was on board a young English girl
since married and dead, whose beauty
and intelligence and charm were all
remarkable. Tennyson attached him
self to this brilliant and sympathetic
creature. He was often asked to read
and it became his habit to read holding
her hand, which, in the fervor of recita-
ton, he often pressed. The ship put in
at Copenhagen. and the Princess of
Wales and the Empress of Russia, then
on visit to her old home, came on
board. There was luncheon, and after
luncheon Tennyson was asked to read;
and did, sitting between the Empress on
enc side and the English girl on the
other. When it was over and they had
some up on deck, he asked the girl
whether she thought the Empress liked
it. Well answered she, her Majesty
must have thought it a little unusual
What do you mean?' I mean that 1
don't think the Empress is in the habit
of having her hand squeezed in public
even by poets 1t seemed proper to
Tennyson to offer to the Empress his
most humble apologies for his mistake
The Empress laughed, and told him she
had enjoyed the reading extremely"

SALAD DRESSING.
The Two Chief Varieties, French and Mag

The Two Chief Varieties, French and May
Onnaisc-BoiIed and Cream Dressing.
The important part of salad, whether
made Of lettuce, tomatoes. asparagus,
celery, potatoes or other vegetables, is
the dressing. There are two great varie-
ties, French dressing and mayonnaise, to
which may be added boiled dressing,
for those who do not like oil, and cream
dressing, best served with lettuce
French dressing is simply two-thirds
oil and one-third vinegar, seasoned with
pepper and salt to taste. Pour out the
vinegar; add the oil slowly, stirring
constantly; then add the pepper and
salt. About six tablespoonfuls of dress
ing are sufficient for an ordinary salad.
In making mayopnaise dressing sue
cess is more certain if everything used
in its manufacture is ice cold and it is
made III q cool place. Put 2 eggs, a pint
Of olive oil, tablespoonful of vinegar
and 2 Of lemon juice in the ice chest
sono hours before they will be needed
for use. When they are taken out, break
the yolks Of the eggs into cold bowl
that has been on the ice or III ice water,
sprinkle il a teaspoOnful of mustard
and one of fine sugar, half as much salt
and tiny pinch of red pepper. A
wooden spoon is usually recommended
for the mixing, but q silver fork is bet
ter. Beat the eggs until they begin to
thicken a little, then add teaspoonful
of oil by degrees, beating constantly. AS
tho egg thickens add moro oil until the
pint is used. During the process thin
occasionally with vinegar and lemon
juice alternately. 1t may not be neces-
6ary to use all the acid. When smooth
and thick, set it Oh the ice. 1t should
not be spread on the salad until just
before serving, when it may be thinned
6 little with tho remainder of the acid.
Half the Quantity hero suggested may
be used when the whole is moro than
desired.
For boiled dressing take the same
quantity Of mustard, sugar and salt as
for 1nayonnaiso. Melt tablespoonful
Of butter and add to these ingredients;
add 2 eggs we'll beaten, half a cup, or 4
ounces, Of vinegar and half a pint of
milk. Pcur all into a graniteware
double boiler, OF large bowl set III a
pot of boiling water, and stir until it
thickens like boiled custard. Remove
as soon as it grows thick, or it will
curdle. If put III wide nouthed bottle
or self sealing jar and kept covered, this
dressing viii keep for fortnight or
more, according to writer i'll The
Ladies Home Journal, who furnishes
these recipes.
The fortunate country housewives
who hayo thick cream can make deli
ciouS dressing by diluting it with one
pepper and mustard, adding a teaspoon
ful of sugar.

To bake tomatoes cut OF a small piece
OF the fruit at the stem end and put in
bit of butter, d pinch OF sugar and
pinch Of salt. Sift a little powdered
cracker or bread cru1abs over them, and,

onion. Bake an houa and have the top
brown.
For stuffed tomatoes select large, full
meated tomatoes. Cut off the tops of a
sufficient number to fill baking dish
Of tho size desired. Scoop cut about a
third CT the contents of each tomato and
fill the space with bread crumbs, butter,
little salt and q little pepper. Sprinkle
bread crumbs over the whole; add a
few more bits OF butter. Set IN the oven
and bake till the crumbs are nice
light brown.

LIVES ON ELM TREES.
Ravages of Beetle That Is Destroying
t1,a Inns Of Ne,r nrinnd

Ravages of a Beetle That Is Destroying
the EIms of New England.
The advance of elm-leaf beetles into
New England has been extremely rapid,
says the Springfield Republican. About
a fortnight ago they were reported in
full force in several towns in Connecti-
cut and western Massachusetts. STAN
ford, Milford, Bridgeport and other
towns along Long Island sound have
been ravaged, and from New Haven
they have come up the valley and arc
in Hartford as well as in this city.
The damage done in the famous elmS
of New Haven, the elm city, is melan-
choiy to contemplate. The trees are
as brown as III the last of fall, and no
work has yet been done to. stop the
despoilment. Last week the city coun-
ell determined to take measures against
the pest. Most of tie mischief for this
year had been done and that will be
the case almost everywhere. 4 few
weeks ago the state agricultural school
ct Mansfield, Conn, published full di-
rections for the meeting Of the elm
leaf beetle at the outset. Professor G.
D. Woods said:
The easiest way to destroy the bee
ties and prevent to a considerable ex-
tent their ravages another season is to
treat the ground around the base of the
trees for distance of several yards
with strong kerosene emulsion. This
viii not help the trees this season, but
if all the pupae at the surface of the
ground are destroyed, and if this is
done under all the trees in a given
town, there will be no beetles to lay
eggs next season. The kerosene enaul-
sion is best prepared N this way: Soft
soap, one quart; kerosene, one pint;
water, six quarts. Warm the soap
until it becomes Hquefied. Remove
from near fire, add the kerosene and
agitate rapidly with a force pump for
FIVE or ten minutes until it become.
homogeneous creamy mass from which
the kerosene will not separate on stand
ing. Add the water and thoroughly
mix, when the emulsion will have the
appearance of milk. This should be ap-
piled near the trees at two or three
different times in sufficient quantities
to thoroughly saurate the surface of the
ground. A force pump with spraying
nozzle, or watering pot with nose can
be used to apply the emulsion"

HAVING FUN WITH OTHERS.
a Wag in Washington Who Is Playing

4 Wag in Washington Who Is Playing
Hat Franks on the Clerks.
There is a man in the treasury de-
partment. says the Washington Star,
who has it in for somebody; he doesn't
know who, but he will find out in time.
He had not many friends in the Office.
He was too mercenary to be popular,
so when he appeared one morning with
a new silk hat they made up their
minds he shouldn't enjoy it long. AS
soon as a chance offered the leader OF
the conspirators neatly folded a piece
of paper and laid it in the inside band
of the hat OF course it was uunoticed
by the wearer. Next day he put il
another, and next day another Once
it was noticed when he put the hat on
he took it off, glanced anxiously inside
to make sure it was his hat, then fitted
it on his head as best he could. Toward
the end Of the week, when q fresh pa
per had been added each day, he began
to talk about how peculiar it was that
the hat had grown more uncomfortable
each day until he felt as though he
didn't want to appear in it. Then he
became alarmed and thought he had
some disease of the head. Then he
confded to a fellow clerk that he was
going to consult a physician that day.
His friend took the beaver in his hand
tried it on his head. That's a good
fit Whatn you take for it?" The an
swer came quickly, Two dollars"
Here's your two," and the clerk
closed the transaction by paying up and
taking the beaver. Then he sought the
doctor, who prescribed for him, charged
him 50, and told him to come again.
The man has been making regular Wis
its for the benefit of his head. Satur-
day he found out the joke, and at the
same time discovered the trouble with
his head. He had wheels. The other
man has the beaver.

should be employed, the bands being

rather severely:
