The big favOriteS Rand and Rand

was a sketch by Miss DreyfusS and

the Hon. J. II. Witherford of New Zea-

many people on this coast being deeply
interested. In New Zealand the bust
ness community is alive TO the i'm
portance of improving the interovean
mail service, but the high officials are
either slow or favor the Suez route. as
shown by the following letter from Mr.
Witherford to Secretary Scott:
AS active efforts have been made TO
improve mail service which rivals the
San Francisco line, | have during the
past month been working hard to get
the service to your port established
first, as the premier route for Il fixed
term of years, believing such in the
future will be mutually advantageous
to New Zealand and San Francisco.
Will send you a copy of what | have
done for your perusal. Owing to strong
conflicting interests, il has been diff
cult to get the Premier and members
of the House to consider the question
in its true light, as being a necessary
auxiliary to the extension of CONNER
cial relations between America and the
Colonies.
In the letter Mr.. Witherford includes
extracts from the Observer of New Zea-
land, which in part says:
j. H. WitherfOrd, who has been C
great pains to get things as far for

cesSful that it only remains for New

GIRL WITHOUT TALENTS.
She Mny Live Life of FuIfiliment by
Making the Most of Her Every
Day Qualities.

"Many q modest, unselfish girl, who
does not regard herself as remarkable
either in mind, appearance or manner,
asks: Where is there place for a girl
to-day who is not beautiful or talented,
who cannot play or paint or sing, can
not permit herself to write an essay for
literary club, and has no ability for
leadership writes Mary Baldwin in
the Woman's Home Companion, of
"The Girl Without Great Gifts" For
such a one the history of an everyday
girl who met fulfillment and wrought
from common material wonderful
life-fabric may be offered. She was the
plainest of family, and as she grew to
maidenhood gave no sign of possessing
anything that would not seem possible
to the most ordinary person. Her sis
ters had each a gift But nobody eX-
pected anything great from Miss Mar
garet, and she never dared to hope that
she could fill any place of Importance
even in the smallest circle. AS is often
the case with the inconspicuous girl of
the family, she became a general help
er, and was called to assist and fill gaps
through all this to get away from her
self, and in effect said: 4 cannot do
this, but my sister cam AS soon as she
could accept this she was no longer a
lonely girl, but imagined that she had a
sort of partnership in the achievements
of those whom she helped. Let it not be
imagined that she had never expert
enced regret that she herself had beer
overlooked in the distribution of gifts;
there were bitter moments when she
suffered on account of the fact, but this
was before she had given herself wholly
to the purpose of forgetting her loss
and helping others. AS soon as this be-
came a fact she began to receive of the
blessedness of giving, and the mental
and spiritual enlargement of her COM
pensation worked itself outwardly. so
that she became very attractive per-
son. Finally the prince came, and the
slipper fitted the stay-at-home sister
and she became a princess before
whom many hearts bowed in the SINGER
est reverence"

Mule as n Convict Trncker.

In most of the southern states con-
victs, instead of being put into prison,
are let out in gangs to contractors, who
use them for various kinds of outdoor
work, and when not working they are
confined in camps known as stockades.
From one of these stockades in Florida
not long ago gang of convicts escaped
and posse was formed to hunt them.
There were no tracking dogs at the
camp, but among the animals which the
posse had to ride was an old mule that
had been on many similar hunts. AS
soon as the men started out they no
ticed that the mule pUt its nose to the
ground just as tracking dog would do
and started off as if on the trail. TAX
ing the hint, the posse followed the
mule, and the escaped convicts were
captured after a chase of so miles.

PRETTY SUMMER HOUSE.
What Some Bright Pittsburgh Girls
Did with an Old Umbrella and
Tree stump.

A nice little summer house may be
constructed from an old umbrella and
the stump of tree. Many yard boasts
stump of some dimensions. Some
times this stump is planted full of vines
and flowers and then it is thing of
beauty, but oftener it is left unadorned
and ugly. Some little girls. who live
near the heart of the city of Pittsburgh
made a nice playhouse for themselves
this summer by boring hole in the
middle of a stump in their yard and
putting down into the hole the handle
of an old red umbrella whose best days
had long gone by. Stout twine had
been tied to each point of the umbrella
and fastened to a peg driven in the
ground near the stump. Then vines
were planted, which crept up these pill
lars of twine, making just the incest
little retreat imaginable for a hot day.
Another family of older girls, taking
o lesson from their little neighbors,
tried s;sn'lar experiment, with the
difference that they removed the cover
from a huge umbrella and planted
vines which were afterward traiaed on
a network of strings and wire wound
around the ribs where the cover had
Formerly been. These were morning

HOW TO BOIL CLOTHES.
Much Harm Is Done by Leaving Them
In the Boiler Until They are
Virtually Cooked.

The purpose of boiling clothes is to
expand the fabrics by steam and thus
to loosen the dirt and allow it to drop
out; there is no good, but actual harm
derived from cooking the clothes;
they do not require cooking" but
cleansing, and when they are cleansed
that is sufficient. Hence, within half
an hour after the water first begins
to bubble they should be Immediately
removed and plunged into clear, cold
water. While the clothes are boiling
they may be turned with aclothes-stick,
but must not be punched or lifted in
such manner as to tear them. The
common custom in many households
of putting the second boilerful of
clothes into the boiling dirtied water
from which the first boilerful has been
taken is wholly opposed to good laun-
dry work. When the cook wishes to
keep the juice in the meat that is to be
cooked by boiling she plunges it into
boiling water. When she wishes to ex-
tract the juices and have them in the
water for soup, etc, she puts the meat
on in cold water. If you wish to get
the dirt out of the clothes instead OF
driving it into the fiber, put the clothes
on in cold water, and do not allow them
to remain in the boiling water soiled
by them till they are dyed yellow

SALT WATER BATHS.
They Give Tone to the Entire System
and Keep the Skin Healthy.
Soft and Clear.

For a hand bath Ga bath given to the
body by use of the hands only, or by
sponge or cloth) place handful of salt
in basin as ordinarily filed for wash
ing. Allow the salt to dissolve, or
hasten the action by stirring it with
the hand. The water should be as cold
as you have vitality TO withstand. Use
no soap. Battle the entire body. Do
not neglect the face and neck in the
free use of the salt water. This bath
has an exhilarating influence, tones
the entire system, and gives to the skin
healthful condition that amply repays
for the time and trouble involved. If
used in the winter it will be an excel
lent preventive of colds, besides being
substitute for face cosmetics. No
chapping, no roughness of the skin and
no clogging of the pores will trouble
the person who Systematically and reg
ularly takes bath of this sort. Or
dinary table salt or rock salt will do,
but will not do so well. The sea-salt
contains medicinal properties not
found in the others. Whether one ex-
ercise or not, the body should receive
daily hand bath of cold or cool water,
especially in the summer, either upon
| rising or before retiring.-Edward B.
| Warman, in Ladies' Home Journal.

Worry FLINDERS digestion.

The cat has served to teach mankind
az all-important lesson concerning the
working of the stomach. The y rays
directed upon a cats stomach have
demonstrated that any irritation or dis
agreeable nervous excitement arrests
the progress of digestion. DR.. Fritz
Lange, of Munich, who makes special
study of the stomach, performed a
series of experiments, which resulted in
this interesting discovery. After the
cat had eaten the y rays were turned
on, and DIR. Lange watched the animals
stomach through fiuorescent screen.
Then he irritated the cat by placing a
live mouse just beyond its reach. DR..
Lange was able to observe that diges-
tion was absolutely interrupted by the
irritation of the animal. Briefly stat
ed, the lesson for man is: Don't let
anything bother or interrupt your din
ner.

OUR LITTLE BOY BLUE.

Little Boy Blue awoke one morn
So cross that he wouldn't blow his horn;
He wouldn't even play;
The sheep in the meadow, the cows in the
corn,
Were 1.-The hatefulest things that ever were
born
They acted JUS so every day!
With pie too sour and with cako too sweet
There wasn't morsel fit to eat
And mammals feather fan
Broke jus because it was almost split
He couldn't touch anything even bit!
He wished he was a grown man!
And what was the use of having schools?
He hated 'rithmetic sums and rules,
And joggerfy was mean!
He'd like to be king of a Cannibal isle
And eat up people little while,
And play with his savage queen!
Now what was the matter with Little Boy
Blue
That he should make such how-de-do?
Now what was the matter, pray?
o listen to me and I'll tell you true
Just what was the matter with Little Boy
Blue
He got out of bed the wrong way!

How to Make Orange Sponge.

Into a saucepan place pint of cold
water, the thinly pared rind of one
lemon, and three or four ounces of
sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved

of one lemon and three oranges and
more sugar if needed. Whisk the whites

set jelly, whisk again, and turn the
frothy mixture into wet mold to be
placed on ice until serving time. Then
turn out the sponge and serve with the
grated peel of an orange scattered

halted within few feet to reconnoiter

BoIero Corset Covers.

Bolero corset covers are just as fash

daintiest of these is formed entirely of
black Italian lace insertion and white
cambric, as fine as the finest of hand
kerchiefs, set in alternate strips and
drawn together with light blue rib
bon over the bust. Another, to be
worn with a pink corset, is of ecru lace
and pink null. The material is laid in
fine tucts; the neck is ornamented by
a narrow collar edged with lace.
