Look to the Refrigerator.

Said an Old housekeeper to the writ
err on one occasion, "a boiling tea ket-
tie means a good cook, one always
empty tells a slattern in the Kitchen"
In the present day the condition of the
iceboX is perhaps better sign.
Cleanliness in the refrigerator is of
the highest Importance. When stray
bits of food and vegetables are al
lowed to collect under the racks, mi
"rohes may reasonably be expected.
Once week have everything re-
moved and wash out with hot suds.
Thrust long stick with a cloth tied
to it through the waste pipe, then schld
the pipe. Wash out once more with
cold water and vinegar, wipe dry and
let air for a few minutes. This pro-
cess renders it pure and sweet.
Lemons, bananas, cold cabbage and
most kinds of fish should be excluded
from the refrigera tor. Butter and
milk in all cases should be kept close

readily.

A Luxurious Bed.

Why is it that although we spend
one-third of our lives sleeping we
spend so little thought in regard TO
beds in the equipment of our homes?
1T seems that beds should have SUI
prpme consideration. A good bed need
not be luxury for the rich only. No
indeed! Florida moss lis too plentiful,
and quite reasonable as to price; while
some of the most comfortable mat
tresses are homemade.
TO make good mattress procure
twenty-five pounds of nice black moss
from moss gin if there is one con-
venient. If there is not a mill handy
buy your moss off some colored person
who would gather the moss from the
trees and 'h'and pick it at a reaSona-
bic price. All trash should be
cleaned out and every kniotty lump in
the moss picked up loose. Purchase
MATTRESS ticking of medium quality;
cut out and stitch together widths for
both sides of the mattress, having
them just as wide and long as the
bedstead the mattress is to fit. The
next thing is to tack strong strips of
cloth a foot long in rows on the
wrong side of the two pieces, that is,

mould, for none but warriors In soul
dared the perils of this valley at that
time. He was leader among his fell
lows, and as such, had command over
the territory stretching from the ALLIE
ghanies to the hills of the Ohio, dur
ing the struggle OF the Colonies with
the Briton. Such was his skill and
alertness that throughout the trying
period no successful f0rays were made
by the willy foe. His son took up the
weapons that fell from the fathers
hands, and bore In command the BAN
ner OF his country In the war OF 1912.
His son, the father of our hero, was
engaged In the peaceful pursuits Of
life and enjoyed the esteem OF his
neighbors and friends. The hero was
left an orphan by the death Of his
father when about eight years old.
Early placed as the eldest OF family
OF four, he soon learned that the life
for him was one OF toll and unremitr
ting endeavor. Acquiring the ele-
ments OF an Academic education In
his native town, he obtained through
efforts of kindly disposed friends an
appointment to the q. s. Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis, where by assidu0us
application he became one OF the fore

chosen as the naval representative OF

Captain French e. Chadwick, COM
mander of the cruiser New York, Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS flagship, during
the Spanish-American War, was born
in Morgantown, W. Va, Feb. Goth,
1874. His ancestors on his fathers
side came to the state from New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania; on his mothers
side he is descendant of Col. John
Evans, who was county lieutenant
under the colonial governors and who
migrated from Fairfax county, Vir-
ginia, to Monongalia county, in 1868.
He is related on his mothers side to
the Strothers, Slaughters, PendletonS,
Taylors, and other well known fami-
lies of Virginia. He received elas-
steal education at the Monongalia
Academy, and in 1861 was appointed
by Hon. VIM. G. Brown a cadet to the
United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis. He was made one of an
advance class of thirty chosen from
two hundred and sixty who entered
that year, and was graduated in No.
vember, 1864. After some service on
our coast, on the Susquehanna, flag
ship OF Admiral Gordon, in a squad
ron to look up the Confederate ram
Stonewall, he went in the same ship
to the Brazil Station where he served
two years; in the meantime being
transferred to the Juniata, in which
he returned home in 1867. After SER
vice in the Sabine, Tuscarora, in the
South Pacific Station; in the Guer-
riere, European Station; in the Naval
Academy as instructor in mathemat-
les; in the Powhatan, on the North
Atlantic Station, and on light home
duty, he was sent abroad to collect in
formation regarding light house, life
saving and other kindred administra-
tions. In 1883 he was appointed naval
attache to our London embassy with
orders to go elsewhere when necessary

ADMIRAL WILLIAM T. SAMPSON.

Admiral Sampson was chosen to
command the Flying Squadron dur
ing the Spanish-American war on
account of his cool headed Judgment
and ability as strategist. rather
than from the fact that he was
sspoilin' for fight" 1t was known
that Sampson would fight, but that
he would not rush in and take un-
necessary chances. This was proved
by his rigid watch over the Spanish
fleet in the harbor Of Santiago AL
though away on duty at the time
Admiral Cervera made his famous
dash for liberty, he proved by his
mad rush for the scene of action that
no element OF fear enters into his
makeup

Sampson. 1t has been said OF him
that he is the most highly educated
man in the navy.
Admiral Sampson was born In
$40, of poor parcntage, IN the CEN
trial part OF New York State. Here
among the green hills he spent his
hoyhood days, availing himself of
the few opportunities that were
thrown around him for self advance
ment. He has seen service in two
wars the Civil aud Spanish Ameri-
ean-and has rendered excellent
service to his country in both. But
ne, like others, was practically un-
known until after the war with
Spain.

famous the world over. But it was

was as great in January, 1898, as he
was in July: only the people did not
know"
