The Rays From Her

The Raleigh sailed up New York bay
laden with houors. To meet her all the
navy within FIVE hundred miles of New
York came sailing down the broad blue
waters. They escorted her north, up to
the very mouth of the Hudson Then
came the grand public tribute
But il was not only to be honored in
this way that the Raleigh came back
from Manila. The ship that fired the
first shot in that wonderful battle of
Cavite which gave the Philippines to
rs, came back to be repaired and altered.

The Feed and the Cows.

There is considerable in cows pos
sibility to give good quality of rich
milk, but it is easy to have that posi-
bility ruined by poor feed and care in
bringing up and developing. On the
other hand, no amount of food and care
will induce a COW that gives thin, poor
milk to turn about and give milk which
is rich in solids. Good feed and good
care will help develop many COWS that
have been neglected, but if there is any
decided improvement it will be made
with cows that are born to be good,
but have not had the opportunity To
get the most out of any COW, good or
bad, good feed and care are necessary,
but it is the good COW that gives the
best returns when well fed and cared
for.-Daily World.

The Importance of Drainage.

Wet land should be drained, as it may
be the most fertile on the farm. By the
use of drain tile there will be no un-
slightly open bitches, and the field can
be cultivated as easily as any other. If
the land is not very wet the cost of
drainage will be but little, and such
land will be just as valuable for pas
ture as before, with the added advan-
tage of being adapted to greater VA
riety of grasses than formerly. 1t can
then also come under the regular crop
rotation. If plot has been too wet
to use for ordinary crops it will also be
too wet for grass some years, and when
drained it will produce green food
earlier in spring and later in the fall.

CRUMBS OF BREAD.
How TO Prepare Them So That They
Can BE Kept Almost Indefin-
iteIy without Molding.

Crumbs of bread are always valuable
in breading chops and other meats for
frying, to spread over scalloped dishes,
fried meats, fish and for other pur-
poses, as well as for puddings and sweet
dishes.
The secret of preparing these crumbs
SO they will keep indefinitely without
mold is to dry them so that all mois-
ture is removed from them. Spread
the bread on tin in the warming oven
under or above the stove, as it is located,
and after it is perfectly dry roll it out
and sift the crumbs. Roll out those
that will not go through the sieve, and
roll and sift them again until there is
merely a handful of crumbs in the
sieve. These few coarse crumbs are
valuable for frying in butter, when used
TO scatter over macaroni, noodles and
other pastes prepared to serve with
meats. For puddings dried crumbs
should have boiling milk poured over
them, and they should remain soaking
| in the milk for half an hour or longer
until the milk has cooled, when eggs,
raisins or fruit is added and seasoning
is put in. Such puddings are excellent
baked slowly or boiled in form. For
stuffing the soft crumbs inside loaf
of stale bread are used instead of dry
crumbs Dried crumbs make sweeter
puddings. Toasts for use as garnish
to soup or to serve with game or chick
ELI should be cut up in ornamental
shapes in tbs quantity while soft, dried
thoroughly and stored away in boxes
for use when required. When needed
brush them over with melted butter
and brown them in the oven or fry
them a delicate brown in hot fat.-N

DO GIRLS LACK HoNoRa
Some OF Them Make 1t n Practice to
Neglect Their Small Monetary
Obligations.

Many men there are who insist that
the majority of girls of to-day are lack
ing in honor if not in common honesty.
One man, who is well to do in the world
and does not care a rush for dollar and
is continually loaning small sums to his
young women friends, asserts that he
has seldom if ever been repaid, and
fears that he would be attacked with
heart iMlpitation if a tender of payment
of these loans should be made. But men
are not the only victims of the borrow
ing girl. She frequently mulcts those
of her own sex. 1t may be safely said
that the girl who borrows half dollar
from a girl chum when shopping be-
cause her own funds have been exhaust
ed and then fails to return it as soon as
she receives her next weeks allowances
is the very girl who, when she becomes
n housekeeper, win thrust all of her
bills into drawer, shut them up and
finally scheme all sorts of ways to meet
them, and, failing in her ability to do
so, pout and say that the tradespeople
are mean things" not to extend her
credit, says an exchange. Every school
girl knows the type of girl who would
not be thought stingy for the world, is
jolly and ready to ''go halves" on all
sorts of fun, yet who often neglects to
reimburse the one who has stood the
whole expense because at the moment
1t was more convenient or less conspicu-
GUS to do so. This girl will finally meet
the obligation, but she will do so at her
convenience. Maybe the girl who has
'footed the bill' will suffer all sorts of
little inconveniences because of the
unusual demand made upon her purse,
but pride forbidding her mentioning it
she just suffers in silence.
The girl even with an almost limitless
income should be taught to know that
she is one of the fortunate few, that
perhaps her girl associates must be as
careful of their pennies as she is of her
dollars, and that without show or any
indication of patronage she should al
ways meet and never neglect any obli-
cation.

Comforts for the sIck-Room.

An experienced trained Rurse de-
clares that a double bed is necessity
in making an invalid comfortable. 1t
allows of changed positions, and in
many ways is an improvement on the
single bed.
In preparing bed for an invalid al
WAYS have two sets of bed clothing, so
that one set can be aired while the
other is in use. Wool blankets should
be provided in place of down or cotton
covers. Pillows of various sizes are an
absolute necessity. 1t is much better
to have the pillows filled with soft
hair than with feathers. Soft springs
are another necessary requirement to
the lnvalid's comfort, as well as hair
msttress.
In many rooms there is a room spe-
cially reserved for sick purposes. The
furnishings are simple and restful and
the wall paper is selected with care to
avoid the employment of perplexipg
patterns or crude colOring.

EXTENSION LADDER.
Description and Pictures OF One
That Is Easily Made and OPP
Grated without DImcuIty.

Upon almost every farm tall ladder
would be very convenient, especially in
painting tall buildings, picking apples,
ETC., but when a ladder is over 20 feet
long it is very hard to handle, especial
ly if one man has to do it alone. For
high work find that an extension lad
der is very handy, and I will try to de
scribe one that is easily made and op
Grated. Make two ladders of any length
you desire, but prefer Is feet. Make
the bottom one wide enough to admit
the top one inside of the frame. On
the rounds at the top of the bottom
