THE REMEDY FOR DIVORCE.
what Newport Thinks of the Rev.
Mr.. Homilton's Plan.

hr. HomiltCn's Flan.
From the New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
The franl5ness expressed by the Rev.
Braddin Hamilton in his sermon before a
fashionable congregation i'm All Saints
Church at Newport last Sunday may have
sprung from a courage born of the CON
viction that he was well supported i'm his
opinions by certain influential members
of the Newport colony Under the topic,
Home Life" Mr.. Hamilton approached
the question of divorce. He said: we
ask you, as a favor toward the church,
10 refuse to recognize divorce in your
good society. If you have a friend or
relative who has so erred simply say to
him or her, I am very sorry, but for the
sake of my home, for the sake of the gen
eTal effect on the community, for the
sake of morality and the church, ] can
not treat you as / did before With
certain matrimonial events fresh in the
public mind the sermon created almost
a sensation, i'm view of the fact that the
Rev. Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Hamilton,
who is the daughter of Col Stevenson OF
Philadelphia, are widely known through
out Newport society, and coupled with
The impression that the sermon had an
official ring to it. The clergyman's words
fell upon willing ears. There has been
no open expression of opinion but in
private there has been much nodding of
heads among the persons who are regard
ed as the mOuIders of 0pipions at New
port
The incident opened way to obtain
some expression of individual opinions Of
weu-known NewDortors. A New York gen
tlenan who has been prominently iden-
tilted with Newport and its society for ff-
teen Years. and is the owner of one of
the show places there. was asked on

JENNY LIMBS FAVORITE SOUP.
Great Singer Believed 1t Had n Great
Deal to Do with the Preservation
of Her Voice.


The recipe used by the famous singer
Jenny Lind, in making her favorite soup
has just been discovered. She believed
that it had much to do with the preserva-
ton of her voice ana keeping her throat
and chest in good condition. She would
entrust its manufacture TO no one, prefer
ring to see to it herself that it should
be made precisely right. She soaked for
ty-ffve grains of pure sage in cold water
for several hours. She then put it on the
fire to boil in fresh water, and when II
had reached the boiling point poured cold
water over the sago in a sieve. linen
it was cooked for twenty minutes with
one and a half spoonfuls of bouillon and
carefully SKINNED. A little salt, pepper
nutmeg, sugar and cup-up parsley were
added, and finally the yolks of two fresh
eggs and eight spoOnfuls of hot cream
made into a sauce was put into the soup
through a straiuer after it had been liftel
from the fire and all thoroughly WORKED
with a large spoon. Now it was ready 10
be eaten or drank. All ambitious singers
who take soup like this will not necessar-
lily become Jenny Linds, but their voices
viii stand great strain and retain tneH
sweetness by its aid.

Irrigation Difficulties
IFrom the. Los AngeIes Times.l

IFrom the Los Angeles Times.l
 The practice of irrigation, which is comparatively new thing for the Anglo-Saxon race, although it has been familiar to older peoples for thousands, of years, is responsible for maHy intricate problems, which it will need time aud patience to solve. One of the principal of these difficulties is the finding out of just and equi- table. method for the carrying out of irrigation works, which question has caused many complications in this State, and is not yet by any means settled. Another difficulty that has been brought about by the recent dry seasons is the question as to what right the owner of well has to drain or decrease the flow of other wells in the neighborhood. Yet another diff eulty, to which Secretary Wilson called attention during his recent visit, is the gradual filling ID of storage reserviors.
 It is pretty tough problem nowa- days Shat cur hydraulic engineers cannot satisfactorily solve. and th Q sitting up of storage reservoirs is one which will not present great difficult ties of solution. Dams are usually so constructed that an addition of a comparatively small expense, will overcome the deposit of silt, and gem erally very largely increase the capsc- ity of the reservoirs. As an examp e | of this, the Sweetwater dam may be cited, which was found to have silted ap more than 5 per cent; but at a small expense the capacity of the dam was increased 20 per cent, which will more than counterbalance the sitting up of forty years. Two generations s a reasonable long distance to look ahead, and at the end of that time either an addition can be put on the dam or some economical way will be devised to sluice out the silt.
 The probable rapidity of sitting can be fairly well determined, and no ex- pert engineer would be likely to go far astray in working out the prob lem, nor would he advise building a dam where sitting was rapid. In fact Col. Il. N. Chittenden, in his now celebrated report to Congress, said

Good order.

The feather bed is, of course, thing of the past. It is probably not lament ed in many quarters, as it is certainly unhealthy, difficult to care for, and not pleasant to sleep on. Mattresses, blank cts, pillows and other articles of bed ding, however, require much care to keep them odorless and clean.
 The main enemies to mattresses are dust, damp and moth, and frequent brushing must be given them, for in an incredibly short time they will harbor dust all along the edges and where the button is fixed. A loose cotton cover aver the mattress, made to button neat fy at one end, always goes long way toward keeping it clean This can be washed and changed as often as need be without much trouble or expense It is very important to air all the bed ding throughout. Every article should be daily taken off and laid separately over chair, and strong current Of air should be allowed to circulate through the room before the clothes are replaced. The mattress should be turned daily from end to end, as this insures it being worn more evenly, and not sinking in the middle.

sWoRKINGMEN AND IRRIGATION. Mr. George td. Maxwell Points out the National Interest of the Ameri-
 can Laborer in Arid Land
 Reclamation.

At the recent meeting of the Chi cago Federation of Labor MT. George H. Maxwell, of San Francisco, deliv- cred an address setting forth the irri- gation question in somewhat new light, namely, the opportunity which would be accorded to labor in the event of the adoption of broad irri- gation and settlement policy, Mr Max well said in part:
 ~There is no problem now confront ing the American people which has a closer CT more fundamental relation to the welfare of the great multitude of our citizens whose industry is their capital than the prooi em of tAe pres ervation and reclamation for the peo- pie and for the homebuilder of the arid public domain.
 This great city of Chicago has been created by the labor of men within the lifetime and memory of those who are now living. What giant possibili- ties does the great arid region, still far ther to the West, hold for the workers of this gene-ationl They can open the gateway to it themselves if they but choose to do so. They have the key in their own hands. See how simple the proposition is: Year after year every year-we are wasting five mil lion dollars which might be realized from leasing the public grazing lands. If this great sum were expended in the construction of irrigation works an enormous amount of irrigable lands could be annually reclaimed.
 'lt would be reclaimed without the creation of a dollar of debt, without the issue of single bond, without the Government parting with any interest in the lands, and when reclaimed the land conld be sold to actual settlers only in small tracts, at price so low as to bring an irrigated farm within easy reach of any industrious wage eayner. Then the ownership of such farm would entitle him to go out on She range end lease for a nominal rental of from ono to five cents an acre per year bis proportion of the ppoHc grazing landss euough for his needs, to which he would have the ex- elusive right of possession With this and | feH sheep or cattle he would be well started on the road to indepeud- enee and eventual wealth.
 The Chicago Federation of Labor unanimously adopted resolutions de- claring against cession of the public lands and favoring the leasing of the grazing lands and the building by the Federal Government of storage reser- voire to save the food waters now wasted.

 Spring guns, traps, deadfalls, poison, side-hunts and drives have been put into active use, and scores of carcasses have been gathered in. Still the slaughter continued among the cattle, and the siEnaber bears continued to get in their work until their numbers were deci- mated.

On the other hand, it is really not necessary to have them washed more than twice year; but they must have proper care in the interval in the shape of airing, shaking, etc. A washing machine is very good for the purpose, especially as they should never be rubbed by the hand.
