A Logical Sequence.

The occupation of Glencoe was
merely a logical sequence of Gen. Bull
ler's advance and the Beers retiring
movement. As usual the Beers are re-
ported to be flying precipitately, but,
also as usual, the accounts add that
their transports and guns were re-
moved in safety, which in itself is a
contradiction of any statement that
the Beers were panic-stricken.
Nothing New From Mnfel.ing.
Nothing further has been heard
from Mafeking and it is reasonable to
suppose that tie conditions there are
unchanged. The prolongaton of the
siege only intensihes Great Britain's
anxiety to hear of its relief.

THE NEW Goal POSTS.

from one Of its most dangerous fea-
lures The goal posts will be set back
ten feet from the goal line instead Of
being on il, as heretofore. But at the
point where the crossbar formerly
was arms will project out over the
goal line, supporting the crossbar. BY
this arrangement the bar will be in its
proper place, while the unyielding goal
posts will be far enough away SO that
the carrier of the pigskin need not fear
for his head when he hurls himself for
a touchdown. Technically the posi-
tion Of the goal posts is not in accord
with the intercollegiate rules, but this
is a mere matter of words.
Walter Camp of Yale, Bob Wrenn of
Harvard, Alexander Moffat of Prince
ton and John G. Bell of Pennsylvania,
all members of the intercollegiate
rules committee, are in favor of adopt
ing the "safety goal post" for all col
lege games.
Coach Woodruff of Pennsylvania
has already ordered the new posts for
use on Franklin field during the coming

Hints For Cyclists.

Most repairs are necessitated through
careless riding. A man who keeps his
wheel clean and well oiled and who is
willing to walk up a hill rather than
stretch his chain or to walk over bro
ken stone or cinders rather than risk
a puncture is likely to pay little for
repairs. Many tires are ruined by be-
ing ridden when too soft. The tire is
then folded and pinched between the
edge Of the rim and the pavement and
thus becomes rim worn.
A good family chain cleaner can be
made by fixing an old sprocket wheel
on an axle attached to a post or other
upright. A small tin pail should be
placed beneath the wheel, so that the
chain, when placed on the wheel, will
hang down in the pail. To clean the
chain the pail is filled with kerosene
and the chain is passed rapidly through
it by revolving the wheel until cleaned.
1t is then wiped dry and may be lubri-
Gated by being run through a bath
of lubricating oil in the same man.
ner BY this method there is no
danger of soiling either the hands or
the clothing, no matter how soiled the
chain may be.
In lubricating with any heavy
grease, the best plan is to remove the
lubricating cups and after melting the
lubricant, force it into the bearing by
the aid of syringe. 1t is well to give
it two doses, one on either side, with
the wheel lying fiat on either side in
turn. BY this means the oil is certain
to reach the ball races, where it is
needed. The thick oils may be applied
In the same manner. 1t is we'll to plug
the lubricating holes with bit of cot
ton after oiling in order to prevent the
lubricant from escaping when the
wheel rests with the hole downward.
Some persons lubricate the crank bear
ings by removing the seat post and
pouring the lubricant down the tube.
but this is liable to carry iron filings
and small bits of turnings into the
bearings.

THE HOUSEKEEPER.
Teaching Household Economics - A
New Ironing Board-To
Can Peaches.
Household economics are tol,lne

Household economics are taking a
prominent place in the educational
movement of today. Marietta college,
in Ohio, has a commodious house built
expressly for the household economic
class, limited to % in number, that the
course may be th roughly practical and
not oyercrowded 1t has normal
course of two years for those who
wish to be teachers and a shorter
course for those who wish the in
struction merely for personal reasons.
The summer school of the University
of Minnesota has a large class in
domestic economy, and, indeed col
leges and public schools all over the
country have the household economic
course in some form. In many high
schools, as we'll as in the grammar
schools, cookery is a recognized study,
and in Binghamton, n. ", household
sanitation is added In Utica, N. Y,
cooking is obligatory for girls in the
seventh and eighth grades and elective
in the High school. The High school at
Warren, Pa, has a graded course Of
three years, which covers marketing,
serving and the chemistry of foods, in
addition to cooking. In Pueblo, Colo.
hygiene and home nursing are taught
also, and in the State Normal school at
Greeley, Colo, the domestic science
work includes sanitation, economic
botany and bacteriology as it relates
to domestic economy. Denver teaches
in the Manual Training High school
ventilation, sanitation and general
care of the house, as well as cookery.
The domestic science department has
been for II years a conspicuous feature
of the Chautauqua scheme.

on the wall or other convenient sup
port. The board is of very simple con-
struction, as a glance at the picture
will show, there being one leg to rest
in slanting position on the floor, with
a pivot pin at one end of the board, in
which the upper end of the leg is
fastened. The leg projects above the
board and is formed into jaw, which
grips the table or window sill, the
board extending horizontally from the
the underside of the support to form
the other side of the grip. 1t can be
readily seen that the jaws will adjust
themselves to board of any thickness
and the grip of the jaws will retain
the board perfectly rigid. The main
advantage of the board, however, is
the readiness with which skirts and
other circular garments can be placed
in position for ironing, the free outer
end of the board allowing the skirt
to be slipped into position and re-
volved to smooth all sides without
the necessity of lifting the board.

The Letter Of the law.

Among the many serious discussions
over the Interpretation of certain rules
of golf it is refreshing to come across
something amusing. The rule to the
effect that before striking the ball
the player shall not move, bend or
break anything fixed or growing near
the ball'' has many a time led to O
serious dispute, but the humoroas in
terpretation of the rule, according to
of game at Ranelagh.
One of the players directed his cad
die to drive away some lambs which
were in the line of fire, and when this
had been done he played his stroke in
comfort. His surprise was great when
his adversary promptly claimed the
hole on the ground that the lambs
We're growing" and according to the
rule the penalty for removing anything
growing was the loss of the hole
An old hand might easily smile at
this claim, but it might disconcert a
younger player and prove sufficient to
win more than one hole by putting him
"off his game" Such an instance ac-
eually occurred once in the East Lo-
THAN Country cup competition, when a
young north Berwick player, who had
innocently removed q growing worm
from the line of his put, was accused
by an elderly opponent of breaking this
rule. The thing was done in jest, but
the blush of the youth and the erratic
nature of his play for some time after
showed that the joke had quite unin-
tentionally done mischief.

Eat Plenty of Vegetables.

The housekeeper who is looking afteg
the health of her family as well as
their pleasure should give considerable
of her attention in these days to the
vegetables. Every one is better for eat
ing plenty of vegetables, and they are
so plentiful and look so inviting that it
does not require any effort to follow
this rule.
If you do not care how much your
market bill amounts to, there are all
sorts of comparatively high priced deli
cacies, and then, on the other hand. if
you want TO be economical you will not
find it difficult to do so and still have
plenty of good vegetables.

Creamed Green Corn.

A very appetizing way of serving
green corn is to cream it. Cut the corn
from half a dozen ears, or, rather,
scrape it, using the back of the knife
for that purpose. Mix with the corn
a half cupful of bread crumbs. Beat
up one egg and mix it with one table,
spoonful of butter, reduced to a cream,
and teaspoonful of sugar. Add a
half cupful of milk and salt and pep
per for seasoning. Add this mixture
to the corn and crumbs, mix we'll to-
gether and put into little baking
dishes; add a layer of seasoned crumbs
to each and bake 20 minutes.

To Cnn Peaches.

An easy and wholly satisfactory way
to can peaches, according to the wo-
man who describes it, is as follows:
The fruit is peeled, halved and pitted.
Then, if the peaches are rather sour,
glass cans are filed, with little sugar
laid in the bottom and again half way
up the can. Afterward the cans are
set, uncovered, in pan of water in the
open oven and allowed to heat slowly.
When the contents have sunk perhaps
an inch, the cans are taken out, filed
with hot sirup and at once sealed.

Chinese newspapers are a Chinese

civilized regions, the advertisement
columns are singularly illustrative of
the life of the people. The way in
which the heather Chinee adheres to
