THE GRANT COMING.

Colonel Ruhlen received notice yes
terday that the transport Grant would
arrive here about May 30, and the Sher-
man about week later. These vessels
will call here this trip as to carry
enough coal to go direct to Manila
would infringe too much on the space
for the cargo it is desired to send by
them.
These are very large transports, OF
the same class or larger than the Ari-
IONA, now the Hancock.

CORN MUFFIN RECIPE.
II Is an ExcelieDt One, and One That
Is Not Found in Ordinary
Cook EuGks.

An excellent rule for corn mullins is
rs follows: Beat two hrapcd table
spoonfuIs of butter and four OF sugar to
ii cream. Add the yolks of three eggs,
and then add two cupfuls Of milk IN
which Il teaspOonlul of soda has been
dissolved. Sift two or three times IA
cupful and Il half of flour and liberal
cupful Of corn meal. with two even la
blespoonfuls of cream OF tartar. Add
the mixture of butter, sugar, milk and
eggs slowly TO the dry ingredients, stir
ring well while doing SO. After beat
ing this batter very thoroughly add the
whites of the three eggs-which have
been whipped TO Il very stiff froth.
Turn the batter into muffin tins which
have been buttered and bake the muf
fins in IL hot oven. These mullins are
delightful for breakfast served with
dainty omelette and Il cup of hot
coffee with whipped cream. The writer
has tried several rules for corn muf
fins, but has found none as light or as
tender as these. 1t is not one of the
usual recipes found in the average cook
book, and it is an excellent one.
The following is very good rule for
johnnycake: Put three cupfuls of corn
meal to soak with three cupfuls of sour
milk over night. In the morning add
half a cupful of flour, two tablespoon
fuls of molasses, one beaten egg, tea
spoonful of salt, and finally liberal
teaspoonful of soda which has been dis
solved in about half cupful of milk.
Stir the batter very thoroughly for sew
eral minutes and pour it into shallow
baking pans which have been buttercd
well. Bake it in a very hot oven. 1t
should be about an inch and a half thick
when done, and it should have fine
crust-N. Y. Tribune.

HATS FOR CHILDREN.
Pink Is the Favorite Color for Little
Lassies' HeadSear This
Year.

OF all the gay colors which fashion is
good enough to allow the children this
spring pink is first favorite. Deep rose
pink, the hue of the sunniest bud in the
garden, is the preferred shade.
And these pink hats and bonnets, like
nearly every dressy head covering for
children, are friIled and pulled exceed
ingly. So that whatsoever pretty faces
later come under them, those faces will
seem to be framed in swirls of pink
Sometimes the entire brim of the hat is
finely plated tatfeta silk four inches
deep. This is fastened only at the
crown, and the outer edge has a will of
its own. Other brims are of straw OBJ
scured by several ruifies, one over the
other, OF pink chiffon.
And different sort in straw is COW
cred on the under side toward the face
with Il dozen wee Rulings of pink silk
muslin. Crowns are oftenest in ample
Tam shapes, Of pink silk, or silk and
inserting, or natural straw. And the
choicest trimming is big hemmed bow
of rose pink silk iauntily toward the
front. Some of these hats even the
largest. have long strings Of pink NOUS
seine de sole.
Other hats are all red from straw to
ribbon. Straws used for the best hats
are tuscan, leghorn, fine manila, satin
and an exquisite opcnwork sort, in blue
and pink, which suggested frost on the
window pane in its delicacy. Hats of
this lightness bear Innings and frills of
taifeta.
Pokes are in order for little folk. The
fancier the poke the better. An en-
elusive design is of soft satin straw with
Tam crown and crinkled %rim. A many
Topped white satin ribbon bow fills in
between the crown and the bfim crink-
lings. From the back there are long
white ribbon ends. .'my steel buckles
hold in place some ends of ribbon on
these modified poEes.
Hatpins of cut metal or coloSed crys-
tai are used with pretty effect or these
young hats. Always the pins ere small
and simple. and used as on the hats of
grown-up folk, TO fasten a knot or ro-
settle.
Children's school hats are sturdy
sailors. especially in bright red and
navy blue. The reds have knots of red
ribbon and plenty of red quilts. The
blues. many of them with sugar-oaf
crown, are wreathed with field flowers.

THE SIDE-DOOR KEY.
There Are Those Into Whose Keep
Ing 1t Should Never Be
Trusted.

Every persons feelings. says DR..
Holmes, have n front door and side
door by which they may he entered.
The front door is on the street. Some
keep it always open; some keep it
latched; some, locked; some, bolted-
with a chain that will let you peep in,
but not get in; and some nail it up. SO
that nothing can pass its threshold.
This front door leads into a passage
which opens into an ante-room, ond
this into the interior apartments. The
side door opens at once into the sacred
chambers.
There is almost always at least one
key to this side door. This is carried
for years hidden in a mothers bosom.
Fathers, brothers, sisters and friends
often, but by no means SO universally,
have duplicates OF it. The wedding
ring conveys a right to one; alas, if
none is given with it!
If nature or accident has put one of
these keys into the hands of Il person
who has the torturing instinct, can

An expedition is being sent from Eng

1t is inferred that the lake was cut off

like those of the sea was found in Tan

AMERICA FOR BOYS.
New York Woman Gives Some Ex-

residence in Europe.

more comfortable abroad, where my
little income goes twice as far and life
is much easier. The girls, too, | can ed
ucate cheaper and better on the other
side, but there is no doubt about it,
American boys should be educated at

those who have their own way to make
it is, in my opinion, fatal mistake to
educate them there. They lose the
power of assmiliating themselves, so to
speak, and, what is more, they form 10
early friendships with their own coun-

mado up my mind that my boys future

GIRL WITH THIN ARMS.
Can Easily Remedy the Defect by
Rubbing Them Vigorously IA
Few Times Every Day.

Thin arms should be carefully con-
cealed. They have an impoverished
look that robs their owner of some of
her dignity. If the arms are unduly
long, as they occasionally are, the eff
feet may be neutralized by wearing
wide bands of black velvet fastened
with pretty buttons or clasps or
buckles. This reduces the apparent
length of the arms.
Thin arms" says NJ Charles Blanc,
the great French authority on dress,
denote bad health and an enfeebed
race" The best remedy is to wash the
arms with fine lather of soap at least
twice a day, and to dry them thorough
ly and rub them vigorously. This
treatment brings the pores into action
and induces healthy condition of the
skin.
Rubbing with a soft chamois leather
is excellent for the skin, giving it both
smoothncss and gloss. girl who was
much troubled with an eruptive disor-
der on her arms was advised to procure
ii very soft channels leather, and gently
but persistently to rub the skin for n
few moments daily. She did so and
never suffered from the same ,disfgur-
ing cause again. The arms and Shout
ders are greatly improved by being
rubbed in the same way, but the channels
must be very soft.-I.adies' Home Jour

For StOnt Women.

1t has often been urged, but it seems
we'll to emphasize by much repetition
that women of generous proportions
should invariably renounce all of these
round WASTED styles, no matter how
beautiful they appear on some other
slenderer figure, or how universally the
rage for them increases. Adopting
these waists is not a matter of age,
for the young, the mature and the
elderly find them comfortable and use
full. 1t is simply matter of figure,
and, for women inclined to stoutness,
there are many close, trim and attrac-
tive models which make them look bet
ter and slenderer than any of the
round" styles, fcstooncd with net,
draped with lace, and finished with
circling ribbon, bells and bows, which
cut off the apparent length of the waist
by two or three inches.-N. Y. Post.

outrage at Gatton-still continues tc
battle the skill of the Queensland po-
lice. That crime, by its scale, com
pletcness ard horror, has, according
to the Australian Review of Reviews,
powerfully affected the Australian
imagination, and the desire for the dis
covery and punishment of its authors
has almost the intensity of passion
throughout the colonies. But at pres
ent it seems probable that the Cation

for their savage cruelty, but for the
utter breakdown of the police to dis

should be treated with embrocatiOns

ence has shown that a cast is much
safer way of treating a sprain than by
rubbing it with liniments. 1t is, be-
sides, much more rapid way of re-
storing the functions of the injured
part. The cast should be kept on as
long as possible-at least week I'M
