Queer Sight on Waterfront.

There is an elevated railroad at work
on the British bark Woollahra at the
old fish market wharf. The Woollahra
is discharging coal. Instead of singing
the coal onto the wharf from the hold
of the vessel by means of big buckets,
the coal, after being hoisted out of the
hold in baskets, is placed on little
hatch car of an elevated railroad,
which extends from above the main
hatch across the vessel and out over
the wharf, where it is dumped. This
method is rather new to Honolulu, and
does not seem to work as we'll as the
regulation way of using a trip line.
Next to the Woollahra lies the schoon-
er Robert Searles, which started to dis
charge her cargo on Friday last, and
is now nearly unloaded. The Wool
lahra started to discharge on the same
day, and will not be through until
Thursday.

to be an ideal place to try the efficacy Of
such methods of reform. This substitute
for the dram shop has, in st. Petersburg,

The intention Is that dramas of historic

KING EDWARDS SCRAP BOOKS.

Eight Big Ones Are Being Made About
His Mother.
Written for The Evening Star
Amid all the pother of getting himself
properly throned, named and crowned,
King Edward VII has snatched time to
devise a unique memorial to his mother.
Word comes from London that he has
ordered, through the leading international
clipping bureaus. eight sets of scrap books,
each set to contain whatever was printed
or spoken of the late queen at the time Of
her death. The clippings, gathered in
every country and in all tongues, and
ranging from the highest Illustrated week
lies to the cheapest provincial prints, fill
one hundred volumes, although the pages
are of full newspaper size. They are past
ed upon light gray bristol board and each
page hinged before binding. The binding
is of morocco-half the sets red, half green.
There will be gold clasps and corner pieces
and each volume stamped with the royal
arms in heavy gilt.
The binding would be black were the
volumes destined to remain in Great Brit
ain. The destiny Of all but one set Is to
be scattered through Great Britain, India,
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South
Africa. Each will receive set as the gift
OF the king. The mourning color varies SO
throughout the empire 1t was thought best
To use ordinary DOCK llnCS.. Ills majesty
loyal colonies will no doubt appreciate the
gift-though the odds are that they would
be better pleased with books setting forth
his own coronation sp1endors.
The children of the late Empress Fred
erick have ordered the same bureau to
make books about her, but the volumes
will be so carefully edited as to be Of mod
est dimensions-that is. as scrap books go.
Only kind things and notable pictures are
to be included. The clippings are from
German French and English sources. The
mount is gray bristol board the binding
dead black morocco, with dull gold clasps.
Others besides royalty pay tribute to the
scrap book maker. Mr. and Mrs. George
Gould are at present nightly interested in
one that is making about their new sea-
born daughter. 1t begins with the an
nouncement of the little ones birth, print
ed upon a sheet of heavy cream white pa
per and mounted in morocco. These an
nouncement cards, which were sent to
friends, give categorically the name of the
baby, the names Of both parents and the
date and place of birth. Already there
are more than twenty big pages filled with
news of the young lady and her mother,
also pictures of her clothes, her basket, her
proud parents and pretty well everything
else. But the big book, which is to be
blue-bound and gold clasped, will be sent
home with many vacant pages-to be filled
by the newspapers and the clippings man
as Miss Edith Katharine Gould Is growing

To Get Up Collars and Cuffs,

Prepare some good cold water starch by
mixing smoothly about two tablespoonfuls
of starch with rather more than half a
pint of cold water. Add to this teaspoon
full of powdered borax dissolved In a little
hot water. Stir a piece of yellow soap in
the starch water until it becomes soapy,
when the piece of soap must be removed.
This will help to prevent the starched linen
from sticking to the hot iron.
The articles to be starched must be per-
fectly clean and dry before they are put
into the starch Dip them and rub them
vigorously in the starch. so that it pene-
trates them thoroughly. Take them out.
squeeze them to remove excess of moist
ure and roll them up separately and tight
ly in a clean cloth or towel Leave them
for about two hours When ready to iron
them, rub both sides of the articles with n
clean, dry cloth to remove any grains of
borax or starch remaining on their outer
portions. Iron first on the wrong side and
finish off on the right. using firm, steady
pressure. Dry before a bright fire until all
are perfectly stiff.

A New Way to Cure Wrinkles.
rfftpn

In the halcyon days Of the south, when
time was no object with slaves, and fair
ladies scorned even to pick up their own
handkerchiefs, there was felt among la
haute societe a common dread. 1t was
that Of wrinkles-those inevitable mark
ings Of Father Time. Then beautiful
complexion was esteemed to be one Of wo-
mans greatest charms. The sunburned
golfer had not come flamboyantly into
fashion, nor was the literary wrinkle'-
one deep crease between the eyebrows
looked upon with favor: neither had the
ruddy coloring, the charm of today, while
reddened arms exposed by rolled up shirt
sleeves would assuredly have been regarded
as extremely vulgar.
A delicate skin was the supreme desire
Of every well born woman, and considered
half the battle in winning lover. In the
privacy of her own chamber, therefore, she
engaged In such small arts as would en-
hance this beauty, the most efflcacious be-
ing strip Of white ribbon soft hand
kerchief tied tightly about her forehead,
that 1t might prevent 1T from puckering, or
falling into set lines as she sat reading or
thinking. To further aid in smoothing out
the brow the band was dipped In cold wa
ter. Often she slept at night with this
band tied firmly about her head.
In these days Of ultra modernness the
subject of wrinkles is still one of vast I'M
portance and a new preventive has been
evolved 1t Is called by the suggestive
name of "frowner," and consists simply OF
rather stiff bit Of white paper about the
size and shape of a postage stamp, and
having on its back a similar coating of
gum. Especially is 1t designed as a prevent
I've OF the wrinkles between the brows
or at the corners of the eyes; and in these
places, after being moistened, these should
be pasted whenever one is about to engage
in some occupation that causes the habit
Of "Wrinkling."
At the fashionable shops Of large cities
frowners are now as regularly on sale as
almost any other accessories of the toilet.
Many, however, prefer too,make them at

How to Make Muslin Toast.
rftten for The Evening Star.

Any rather stale bread that cuts into
firm slices answers for this delicacy. The
writer's first knowledge Of this was at
dinner party at which each dish was per-
feet of It's kind. When the cheese was
passed, with 1t came this crisp. delicious
toast, cooked at the moment of serving.
The slices were cut, literally, 'as thin as
a wafer and spread out to dry an hour
or two before needed. They were finally
spread out a hot tin pan, popped in
the top shelf of quick oven long enough
to curl up little and take a pale shade
of brown. This toast is particularly grate-
full to people of delicate digestion. but is SO
appetiZng that it has become a fad to low
ers of dainty living. 1t may be also served
at luncheon with fruit. Housekeepers who
find themselves at the mercy of a country
butcher should call to mind the French
method of improving" tough meat. An
impossible beefsteak, for instance, may be
transformed into that Is tender and
juicy if it is allowed to stand over night
in a mixture of vinegar and salad oil in
equal parts. For three-pound steak half
a teacupful of the mixture should be put
in crockery plate or dish large enough
to spread the meat out in. Prepare this
early in the evening and before retiring
turn the steak. What is left of the mix
ture should be bottled for the next time.
Don't use salt or pepper while it is in the
oil and vinegar.

New York, Nov. 1.-The Paris cores
pondent of the London Times and the

been exhausted. He says it is the gen
eral belief that Turkey will now aban-
don her procrastinating tactics and full
fill her engagements. Her only difficult
ty will be in finding the necessary
money.
The correspondent adds that things
cannot go on as they have done. The

bate on the foreign estimates in the

tive that situation both embarrassing
and ridiculous shall be ended. When
the trouble with Turkey began, the dis
patch goes on to say, it seemed difficult
for France to undertake a coercive ma
val demonstration in regard to the
three matters at stake. The question of
the Constantinople quays concerned a
private enterprise involving divergent
