MODERN CONDITIONS.

In the fathers Of this mighty nation
could be thankful under the conditions
that then surrounded them, how much
more have we to be thankful for, living
in the golden age Of the world, part OF
great and respected nation yet youthful
and vigorous, with all the advantages
and privileges of modern civiliz stion
within our reach. Certainly this nation
has been greatly favored, and has en-
loved season of prosperity more gen.
ersl to all it's people than ever before
It's government is respected wherever its
Il ~ flies, aud it is q respect which comes
from belief in the honesty of its peo-
pie, and their love of justice and indl.

A good grade butter COW will make
more butter from q certain amount OF
feed than common COW will, and it Is
certainly reasonable that the more butter

Scraps of plain or puff paste trimmed
from patties or pies may be sprinlled
with grated cheese and made into
cheese straws.
The cold boiled rice left from din
ner or luncheon may be mixed with
waff1es or mullins. and VIII make them
lighter, says the Boston Budget.
Embossed leather can be cleaned
with turpentine applied with soft
cloth This removes the stains but
slightly stitfens the lather, which must
be made pliable again by rubbing
briskly with crude oil. Use a very
little oil and go over the piece with
one of the clean cloths upon which
no oil has been put, as care must be
taken to get all the surface grease of
to prevent soiling the clothes.
A delicious cake filling is made from
chopped figs mixed with crabapple
or apple jelly.
A novel plan for protecting dainty
silk or lawn shirtwaist is suggested
in an underwaist of very fine lawn,
made with bishop sleeves gathered
into dainty cuffs of lace or embroidery.
a small round yoke also of lace or en-
bribery and a transparent choker.
This can be laundered; and the out
side waist is made more dressy by
cutting it out to meet the decollette
yoke or the underwaist.
A good cement for china and glass
ware is made by soaking isinglass in
water until soft, then dissolve it in
proof spirits and add little resin.
Pickles should not be made in ves-
sells of brass, copper, iron or tin. Use
only porcelain or earthenware and the
very best cider or white wine vinegar.
The jars should be Of stone or glass,
and the pickles kept in cool, dark
place, and examined at intervals. IT
white specks make their appearance
in the vinegar draw it off. scald and
add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and
a few cloves. All vinegar should be
scalded before using with pickles,
otherwise it will not keep well.
When fish is rather deficient in fla
vor a little vinegar rubbed over the
skin and few sweet herbs boiled
with it will greatly improve it. For
boiling large fish should be placed
on the fire in cold water and small ones
in hot water. Both are done when the
fins pull out easily. Fish soup is the
most economical of all fish dishes,
baked fish the second best, broiled
fish retains nearly all its nourishment.
and boiled fish is the poorest of all.
The following technical terms are
used to denote different methods OF
cooking fish: To dress fish la Hol-
landaise is to boil it in sea water; au

wine or vinegar, sweet herbs, soup
vegetables, lemon and white spices;

Capt Bowman II. McCaIIa. Z. s. N,
who distinguished himself in the West
Indies and the Philippines. and who has
just been advanced in his grade as re-
ward for his notable services in China
where ne was wounded. has been ordered
home from the Asiatic station to take
command of the battleship Kearsarge
now with the North Atlantic Squadron
at Pensacola. He will be succeeded In
Hongkong, by Capt. James II. Dayton,
who is at present on special shore duty
at Norfolk. The sea term of Capt. viii
liam VI. Folger, who commands the kear-
sarge. has nearly expired and he will be
detached from that vessel when she ar
rives at the New York Navy Yard next
month, and nc assigned to duty as inspec-
tor of one of the lighthouse districts.
4 telegram was sent yesterday by Sec
retary Long to Rear Admiral Remey at
Manila TO dctach Captain McCalla from
the Asiatic station in time to permit him
to assume command of the Kearsarge at
New York on May l. The Newark will
remain on the station
While it was said at the Navy Depart
ment that Captain McCalia's assignment
to the kearsarge was not intended as a
reward of merit it was explained that
he now -tood SO high in the list of cap
tains on account of two adVancements,
that he was entitled to one of the big
ships, and had seen such arduOus duty
in the Far East for the past two years
that he was deserving of lighter duty on
the home station. The kearsarge will be
the first armOrcIad to be commanded by
Captain McCalia.

from a statement of the case made by
reliable business men, part of which fol-
lows:
"A rurnor has reached us to the effect
that the postoffice authorities here intend
TO change the numbers and locations Of
some 200 or 400 private postoffice boxes

feeling among the merchants, bankers
and others holding those boxes. because
of the fact that there are seventy-hve
men. more or less who handle mail to be
sorted in these boxes, who are now per
fectlv familiar with the numbers and To-
