GENTEEL HYPOCRISY.
Mrs. Brown Had a Way of Keeping
Tab on Callers Who COnversed
Behind Her Back.

Tragedies are best treated in few
words, so suffice to say that the phono-
graph had been standing all day in the
room where Mrs. Brown sat with her
month old baby! This is the record it
spouted forth in the evening when Mr..
Brown came home and turned it on:
ooh, the little darling! The angel
child"
Beautiful eyes! Exactly like his
mother's!"
"Why, it's his mother all over! Pity

"Ugliest little creature ever saw! 1

THE CAPTAINS MESSAGE.

The great ship plows through the murky
night,
The wake-waves flash with a phosphor
gleam,
The bow dips deep in yeasty white.
Where the sea-gods strive with the god
of steam.
The shrill wind sings in the cordage high,
The rain gusts whip on the slanting deck,
And the only star in the cloud-swept sky
Is the glmmering shore lights warning
speck.
The captain stands on the swaying bridge.
The night glass held in his sturdy hand.
Ger seething hollow and foam-capped
ridge
He's watched that twinkle that marks
the land;
And row to the speaking tube he bends
And gives the word to the engineer,
And the great steam whistle wakes and
sends
throbbing shrek through the atmos-
phere.
And there In the village far away,
Where the light looks out on the oceans
foam,
The people listen and smile and say:
'The captains sending his message
home;"
And a woman, gazing across the dark,
Smiles soft as the faint notes rise and
swell,
And the children listen and whisper:
"Hark!
Fathers saying he's safe and well
The laboring engines whirl and grind
The ship drives on in her ocean race,
But the captain looks at the light behind
With tender smile on his sun-burnt
face.
And wife and children may sleep at ease,
With ne'er fear in gentle breast;
Loves voice has spoken across the seas
And the captains message has brought
them rest.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
Odd Items of Information ON Matters
Pertaining to the Culinary
Department..

Excepting onions, there is no more
disagreeable odor that permeates a
house than that of cabbage cooking.
There are other vegetables that make
almost as bad an odor, and some fam
lilies eschew the whole lot rather than
endure the scent. An old cook says
that you can have cabbage and carrots,
Goldfish and boiled corned beef and
never know any of them are in the
house if you just follow her directions.
Put over the fire pint of good vinegar
and when it boils up tumble two table,
spoonfuls of sugar in it. Then set the
can on the back of the stove, and let
The vinegar simmer as long as you are
cooking the vegetables, and never bit
of odor can be detected. When the
vinegar boils low, put in water and let
it simmer. 1t must be boiling well be-
fore you put the cabbage on to cook.
Sometimes q sentimental charm at
taches to the photograph of the child
hoods home, and it is often framed in
gold and white enamel. A prettier idea
is to secure from the old place moss
covered board, and of this have the
frame made by a cabinet or frame
maker, putting simple beading of
white enamel next the photograph and
a glass over it.
The housewife who makes large use
of oranges will make no dietetic error.
Next to the apple it is considered the
best of all the fruits that are within
the reach of the multitude, being so
cheap that they cost but little more
than potatoes at some seasons of the
year. There are many charming des-
serts that can be made of oranges, but
the very healthiest way to use them is
to free them of skin and white pith,
remove the seeds and slice, putting
over them fine granulated sugar. A
delicious orange beverage is made by
using the juice of two lemons and the
juice and pulp of half dozen oranges,
or in that proportion to two quarts of
water, with cracked ice in it. Serve
with a long-handled spoon in a tall
glass. When sweetened to taste, for
which you pass round sugar, it is de-
licious and refreshing. Lines may be
substituted for lemons.-Washingto

MADE FLAos ron FouR WARS.
nErs. CorEin Hsiped Fashion E Banner
for the Boys Of 1914.


Mrs. Corhin helped Fashion Banner
for the Boys Of 1919.
It is altogether probable that Mrs.
A, @. Corkin, who lives on the shores
Of Lake Champlain, is the only woman
who can truly say that she has made
American flags for four wars in which
her country has been engaged. Mrs.
Corkin can boast of having helped
fashion the star-spangled banner to
encourage the boys to victory in 1912,
in the Mexican war, in the rebellion
and in the present conflict with Spain.
Mrs. Corkin was born in 1904, and
when mere slip of girl watched
from the top of her fathers barn the
famous battle in which Ethan Allen
squared accounts with the British
forces and American grit won the day.
The flag carried by Aliens bluecoats
was made by the women of the coun-
tryside, and Mrs. Corkin's tiny fingers
helped sew the banner which led the
boys to the fray. The fiercest part of
the struggle took place only a short
distance from her home near Platts-
burg, and a big cannon ball sailed into
the yard and the grass and dirt It
plowed up were thrown on the stable
roof where she and her sister were sit
ting, terrifying them so that they were
glad to hide away in the home cellar
until the last echoes of the battle died
away, Again in 1848, while the war
with Mexico was in progress, Mrs
Corkin aided in making flags for the
United States troops, and during the
civil war helped supply two regiments
with full stands of colors. When La
fayette visited the battlefields OF the
two great wars for American indepen-
dence he was the guest of Mrs. Corkin s
mother, and partook of dinner at their
house on the night of the battle at
Rouses Point. The place takes its
name from Col Rouse, who was the
first man to settle in that territory
Though "a years of age, the old lady
is still hale and hearty, and en- route

Cincinnati to visit her son. 1t was

Sailed with a Cross Fin on Her Keel.
From the Biddeford Journal: Dur
ing the yachting season last year 1t
was noticed that the Syndicate, a boat
owned by four yachtsmsn, was always
a tail ender, but the cause OF the back
wardness was not apparent. 1t was laid
to the build of the boat or the bad
seamanship of her shippers, but 1t now
appears that the trouble was elsewhere
The secret has just leaked out The
owners of another boat at the opening
of the season hit upon a simple device
for Kidding themselves of the Syndi-
Gates rivalry. They pulled the craft
upon the shore and nailed a board
across her keel. This had the effect of
making the Syndicate very stiff, and
there was little danger Of her tipping
over, but the effect on her speed was
equally marked and, as has been said,
she usually managed to get distanced
in a race Blissfully ignorant of the
handicap they were carrying the own
ers of the craft continued to sail her
in this condition all summer and at
the close Of the season the board was
removed in the same surreptitious
manner.

AVALANCHE ON MOUNT RAINIER
Millions of Tons of Rock, Snow and Ice
Crash Into a GIaoIer.

Crash Into Glacier.
New York Sum- Tacoma, Wash.-An
immense avalanche came tearing and
roaring down the side of Mount Rainier
Friday evening about Z o'clock 1t
struck the base of the mountain with a
report like that of tremendous clap Of
thunder, and it was heard distinctly in
Tacoma, sixty miles away. People here
thought an earthquake had occurred.
This afternoon Alexander Driver and
Peter Smith arrived from Mount Rainier
with the news that the supposed earth
quake was an avalanche, which came
down the backbone of a "cleaver,"
lying between two branches of Mowitch
glacier. The top of this eleaver has an
elevation of 10000 feet. It extends
several thousand feet down the noun
tain side, terminating where the two
glacial branches come together. The
avalanche started near the top of this
cleaver and swept over the rocky sur
face to the Mowitch glacier proper.
Down this it sped to where the glacier
terminates with precipitous icy walls
| over which it leaped into the great
chasm below. A large part of this
] glacier was carried down with It
