Before undertaking to beautify the
home or enrich the wardrobe with elab.
crate pieces Of embroidery which are
by no means essential to the happiness
of anybody, girls should exercise their
needles on such convenient articles as
make the daily life of the hard-work-
ing mother or even the servants little
bit easier. OF such is that most useful
and tidy accessory of the laundry, a.
clothes pin bag, an illustration of which
Is here given. 1t Is really a kind of
apron, which the laundress ties on
when about to hang out the clothes.
To take the pins out Of this handy re-
ceptacle as required is great deal
easier than to stoop every time a gar
ment is hung on the line to get pins

Small Boys Dragged About.

81 am always made sorry when |
ride in the cars, through the shopping
districts particularly said the woman
to the New York Times man, ito see
the mothers illtreat small boys. 1t is
ethical cruelty, but quite as disastrous
as physical ill-treatment might be, 1t
seems to me. see poor little fellows
of seven or eight-nice little men who
would be manly il they were allowed
to be, pulled around in the cars, out
of the cars, pushed into that seat and
out of it into another as if they were
so many little dummies. They usually
are very nearly that, for seven or eight
years of such pushing and pulling is
enough to take all the spirit out of a
small boy unless he has unusual vigor
of character.
"a boy of that age ought to be be-
ginning to look out for his mother and
finding seats for her. Occasionally a
sensible mother, who treats he: boy
like human being, is to be found,
and it is pleasure to see the two to-
gether. The boy who is dragged
around like little muff during the
early part of his life is apt to come to
himself after time if he is not en-
tirely ruined. and then he goes to an
opposite extreme, is rude and self
asserting, while he is trying to estab-
lish an equilibrium, and the mother
can't imagine what the trouble is"

is much pleasanter than to try to hold
five or six clothes pins in the mouth
where they will be handy. Heavy ma
terial. such as bed-ticking, shifting or
denim should be used for these aprons.
They should be made just long enough
to allow of the wearer reaching to the
bottom without effort. Fit them by
darts in front of the hips, put on the
band, and fasten it with tapes, or q.

are numb. Cut top piece, or pocket,

of this pocket with quite a wide bias

to give it strength. When the apron is

A Farmers Cart.

The wheelbarrow Is one of the things
no farmer who has much feeding or
other heavy carrying to do can be with
out unless, of course, he has something
better. For nearly everything, two
wheeled cart is handler and easier to
handle than the barrow, and the farmer
himself can construct it on some rainy
day or idle spell. For running gears, a
broken-down or disused cultivator-
most farmyards have two or three
furnishes the best of wheels. The han
dies are bolted to the axle, and frame
made Of 2x4's bolted to the axle and
handles. This frame should set so that
about a third of its length will reach
in front of the axle. This will give the
proper balance when pushing load.

Sile Grover lived in Gungawamp, an

He labored hard an labored long, an dug

An met the stormy days Nv life with

He lived the highest type Nv life, rare,

Beef Tea.

For beef tea the juiciest part of the
meat should be selected, the lower part
of the round being the best There
should be no fat on the meat. Cut it
into dice and put into the upper part
of an agate or porcelain-lined farina.
kettle, using pound Of meat to pint
of cold water. A fruit jar or any wide
mouthed bottle may be used in place
Of the double kettle, and it should be
placed on a stand of some kind in q.
kettle Of hot water.
Set the kettle over the fire and boil
until the juice of the meat is extracted.
Then strain the juice, pressing it out
Of the meat, and season to taste with
salt.
In cases where great deal Of nour-
ishment is needed, especially in con-
sumption and kindred diseases, the
juice should be squeezed from the fresh
meat and given warm, but never hot.
The meat should be placed in an oven
and warmed, as the juice flows more
freely from 1t in that condition It is
then pressed until dry. The usual guam
tity is from two to three pounds a day,
taken at intervals. A high tempera-
ture, the physicians say, coagulates the
blood Of the beef and destroys it's bene-
fetal effect.

Ponce. Porto Rico, Aug. 1.-THE
worst storm ever experienced here
struck this place Tuesday morning at
o'clock, and lasted two hours. 1t
came from the northeast. Ponce was
flooded at midnight. At least 300 per-
sons were drowned. Two hundred bod
les. mostly of poor people, including
many children. have been recovered. All
buildings We're damaged and hundreds
destroyed. Soldiers and firemen worked
all night heroically saving lives. There
is no drinking water, ice or electric
light. Commissary stores at Playa were
destroyed. The city it short of food.
Army officers are distributing rations.
Fifteen vessels in the harbor were driy-
en- ashore. The weather bureau pre-
dicted the storm. but it is claimed
Ponce was not warned. A mob of a
thousand persons threatened Alcalde
Doria, but We're dispersed by the Fifth
cavalry. The alcade has been deposed
on account of negligence. Major Myers,
Eleventh Infantry, is acting as alcalde
in response to popular demand. Five
thousand dollars will be needed to clean
the streets. The sanitary condition is
serious, and assistance is needed. All
crops are totally ruined. wires are all
down and little news is obtainable from
the interior.
Abonita, including the barracks, was
destroyed. No lives We're lost there.
Juan Diaz was devastated. Forty-six
lives We're lost there. Arroyo. Gauyma,
Salinar, San Isbel are reported totally
demolished. The railroad between Ponce
and Yauco was destroyed. The military
road is impossible. The river is flow
ing over it for two miles. Mayaguez
escaped serious injury. Bananas are the
sole food here. The poems have gone to
San Juan and vicinity. which We're
comparatively uninjured.

Manila, Aug. 11.-MacArthur's troops
remained last night at Calulet. The
rebels had evidently fed, for the Ameri-
cans outposts were not disturbed DUR
ing the night.
At daybreak this morning u battalion
Of the Seventeenth Infantry started up.
the railroad toward Angeles. four miles
distant. The party approached within
1900 yards and then opened with field
gun. The rebels replied with a badly
directed fire. The strength OF the enc
my not being known. the situation was
reported to Macarthur. who did not
rected that the accommodating party re-
turn unless the rebels abandoned the
town. 1t soon became evident that the
rebels had fired the town and fled, leav-
Ing the Americans to occupy the place.
"A battalion of the Twelfth infantry was
sent to reconnoiter westward. Up to
noon no firing was heard in that direc-
tion. No word was received from them
and 1t is believed they encountered
nothing. The indications are that the
rebels are scattered for miles in every
direction around Calculet. The insur-
gents lost heavily In the fighting around
Calulet. It Is believed 100 We're killed
and 300 or 400 wounded. The Iowans
killed thirty in one place; one company
OF the Seventeenth twelve in another.
The American loss was five killed and
thirty-one wounded, including three
officers. The attack was q complete
surprise to the insurgents, who had no
idea OF the movement till the armored
car opened with two gattling guns,
revolving cannon and six FOUNDER.
Heavy artillery opened on both Hanks
q moment later. The majority of the
Filiptnos were asleep when the attack
was made. Men with large bells were
heard running among the shacks arous-
dng the soldiers. The Filipinos tried
to ambush the soldiers several times,
the country being well adapted to these
tactics, but without success.
The officers highly commend the re-
cruits in the various regiments. There
Is reason to believe the recent reports
that the insurgents are short of ammu-
milton, as well-informed natives at Cal
ulet say the insurgents had only forty
rounds each; that five more were issued
just before that fight. Since American
occupation of San Fernando the rebels
have torn up three miles of railroad be-
tween there and Calulet. It is impossi-
BILE TO get the armored car more than
two miles beyond San Fernando.
