TIE Joys and Sorrows Of Light House.
keeping-A Quaint and Graceful
Design-Potato Soufle.

A woman who evidently finds that
the joys greatly overbalanced the sor
rows of light housekeeping in hor case
writes entertainingly on this subject IN
Good Housekeeping
A person who IS absentminded
should beware; also an untidy one. A
light touch, dainty dexterity in cooking
processes, a careful attention to small
details, ingenuity in finding places for
things, orderliness and precision in
keeping them there-all these are abso-
lutely essential. The woman with ag-
gressive elbows, who makes nervous
dive for this thing, fealike hop for
that, whose skirts sweep away every
thing within q radius of six feet, who
cannot be in the room with stove black
ing without decorating her nose or
cheek with streak of it, and whose
hands and wrists are perpetually SCARED
with burns from the oven doOr-this
sort of woman should never attempt
light housekeeping if she wishes to pre-
serve her reason.
On the other hand, the woman who
cannot SO far depart from the traditions
of her ''foremothers as to keep her
carving knife, can opener, kitchen
spoons and such small articles in one Of
her sewing machine drawers if need be
and make equally homogeneous disposal
Of other minor articles Of household use
would fail to appreciate it's joys and
would find it's undoubted inconvenience
real SORROWS.
A philosophical spirit is necessary,
and absolute freedom from the iron
bound traditions of ones early bring
ing up and from that sort of primness
found in people of both sexes, but for
want of better name called "old maid
ishness.'' To such people every step of
the independent, happy go lucky way,
so fowery to those of us who are light
housekeeping enthusiasts, would be
thorny indeed. It would be cruelty to
ask that they try it. Indeed, right here
let me suggest, ''No attempts at max
ing converts. Light housekeeping is
like olives Or sea voyage-you like it
or you don't. There is >no happy middle
course.

Points About Macaroni.

Macaroni is a useful dish at this sea-
son, but how to cook it is little under
stood by the average American cook.
An Italian authority tells that the best
Italian macaroni is made of semolina.
It requires longer boiling and gives the
best return in quantity. When the wa
ter is strained off, this quality will
stand good for a certain time if kept in
dish over hot water, whereas the
cheaper sorts, in which generally flour
is mixed, if not consumed at once, go
into fragments and lose taste and shape
Macaroni must be boiled first, and a
good fire must be ready beforehand
Cooks who will take their utensil from
the fire-to put on some more Goals
and thus stop the boil, will spoil any
macaroni, however good its quality
may be. Macaroni requires plenty of
water to cook WELL A gallon to a pound
of macaroni is not too much. The wa
ter must be sailed first to taste, and
when in full boil the macaroni must be
put in and frequently stirred in order
to prevent it getting into mass.
AS to the time, it depends upon the
quality of the macaroni employed and
the taste of the persons who eat it.
When macaroni is cooked to taste,
glass of cold water should be thrown in
the pan Immediately SO as to stop the
boil and all the water strained off in
colander as quickly as possible.

A STORY OF EMPEROR WILLIAM.

pretty story of the late Emperor
! William is told in one of the German
papers. Some years ago, shortly be-
fore the death of the old Emperor of
| Germany, a tall, handsome gentleman
| jumped into third class carriage of
local railway at Berlin just as the
train was leaving the station. An old
cut hyacinths, was the occupant of the
compartment. Hesasked the old dame
to sell him a bunch, and, Modified by
his sdave manner, she chose the fresh
est and largest, and handed it to him.
It's price was apenny, but, as the gen.
tleman had no coppers and the old
woman no change, not having sold
any Of her goods yet, she was paid
with mark piece, which, as she said
at once, was a thing never heard of
before in third class carriage.
Presently the stranger and the flow
err seller were deep in conversation,
and it turned out that the poor woman
was the bread winner of a family of
four. Her son was crippled, her
granddaughter little school girl, and
her husband had for some months
past been out Of work, since a new
railway official had dismissed him as
being too old to do much work. The
stranger then suggested that she
should apply on her husbands behalf,
to the railway authorities.
''That is no good whatever" she
replied, as she wiped her tears with
her apron. eff you haven't the Pope
for your cousin, now days, you can't
get anybody to listen to you"
'sThen try the Emperor" the strang
er went on.
"'Alas!" she sighed, 'sif the old gen.
tleman was allowed to see the petit
tions that are sent, it might do some
good; but he does not get to know
about us poor people,"

out her basket and noticed with as
constituent that the officials and the
crowd on the platform looked at her
carriage and saluted and cheered.
stWhat's up?n she asked.
sWhy the Grown Prince was in the
same compartment with YOU"
Then the flower seller held her head
high and told the delighted crowd
every syllable that had happened.
Her flowers were sold before five
minutes were over, and fortnight
afterward her husband was at work
again in his old place.-PaU Mall Ga

MAINE PROHIBITION.

to enforce the Maine Prohibition Law.
AS soon as Neal Dow was dead the
little dogs began to bark. Of course,
the law never has been perfectly en-
forced, and it has never been claimed
that it was. In Chicago the law
against stealing isn't perfectly CD en-
forced 1t is claimed that there is a
system of bribery underlying the liq-
uor business in Maine, and that "sa-
loon keepers regularly pay hush mon
ey to somebody, presumably the po-
lice officials" In Chicago this is an
everyday affair. A legislative COM
mission is now sitting in the city to
Investigate official ways that are dark
and elbows that are crooked. A car
toon in Chicago paper a few days
ago showed pig standing on it's hind
legs and bearing placard with the
inscription, 81 am blind but not
dumb.'' This, with the expression on
the face of the big policeman who was
interviewing the "blind pig,' told the
tale that when the pig got into trouble
it squealed on the protecting, profit
sharing policeman. What if that had
been in Maine? Why do we not re-
peal our laws in regard to bribery,
murder, and the sale of liquor in Hi
nois. They are violated every day.
This would be as reasonable as to re-
peal prohibitory liquor laws because
they are violated. A crusade against
corruption of the basest and most
barefaced kind on the part of those
sworn to enforce the laws is needed.
Without it good citizenship is vaga-
ry of the brain.
Here are some facts about Maine:
Before prohibition there were in
Maine seven distilleries and two
breweries. Now, not one of either in
the state.
Many cargoes of West India rum
were imported every year. Now, not
even one puncheon is received.
Formerly, rumshops everywhere;
one in every hamlet. Now, in more
than three fourths of the state, hav-
ing three-fourths of the population,
the grogshop is unknown. An entire
generation has grown up there, never
having seen a saloon or the effects of
one.
The quantity of liquor now sold is
not one twentieth what it was before
prohibition. In Portland the quaint
ty is not one hundreth part of what it
used to be, and the city is twice as
large.
The people used to spend every
twenty years in strong drink the en-
tire valuation of the state. Now, one
million dollars will more than pay for
all the liquor smuggled into the state
and sold in violation of law.
Maine saves annually more than
twenty million dollars, which but for
prohibition would be spent, lost, vast
ed in drink.
Maine is now one of the most pros
porous states in the Union. Before it
was the poorest. There was dissipa-
ton, unthrift and decay. Now, every
where is seen thrift, industry, pros
perity.
In 1884, after an experience of pro-
hibition for thirty three years, that
policy was put in the constitution by
II, 045 majority.

and extraordinary incidents are being
given of their vitality. One man,
shot through the stomach in a recent
battle, stayed in the ranks till the
fighting was over, and then marched
ten miles before reporting to the doc
tors. Another, with a wound in each
leg and another in the shoulder, stayed
on duty continuously for twenty four
hours, at the end of which time the
officer observed his condition and or

92-secretary Alger, who arrived last

o'clock the Secretary, and Surgeon-Gene-
raj Sternberg, accompanied by Brigadler-
General Boynton, left for Chickamauga
Park. where they spent the day in a criti-
cal inspection of the hospitals, over which
there has been so much controversy.
Before leaving Chattanooga, Secretary
Alger said TO a reporter: THE press has
been disposed to exaggerate the condition
Of some Of the camps, and things nave
been charged against the War Depart
ment which were untrue and unwarrant-
ed. 1 want all the facts to come out, and
have nothing to withhold from the public.
'"The great trouble has been that the
people have not appreciated the immense
problem Of forming an army OF 10000
volunteers without notice and without
the necessary equipment. The Spanish
war came upon us almost like bolt from
a clear sky, and it found every branch
OF the War Department unprepared for
the task of equipping and handling such
a vast number of unframed men.
EARLY DISADVANTAGES.
For a time there was difficulty in fur
nishing supplies and equipment for the
troops, but that was TO be expected. The
department had only a limited supply OF
tents, and II had practically no wagons
and ambulances, to start with There
we're a thousand and one details TO be
looked after, and a ly-disposed public
will understand the disadvantages under
which the War Department worked for
many weeks. As fast as possible, equip
ment and supplies were sent to the seve-
raj camps, and II there has been lack OF
medicines and necessaries OF life, the
fault lies with the commanding officers OF
the camps.
There may have been some incompe-
tent officers. generals and colonies in
charge of some OF the camps. and IL
such is found TO be the case they will
be held strictly TO account for their mis-
deeds.
INCOMPETENTS TO BE RELIEVED.
III there are any commanding officers
who are now incompetent or who fan
to put their camps In first-class condition
and keep them that way. propose they
shall be replaced by men who are COM
petent. and who will see that perfect sanI-
tary conditions are established and main
tained."
