BEFORE WHEAT BLADES RIpEN
That Is the Time to Prepare the Most
Excellent of SaIves for
Healing.

a little, bent old woman out in n
wheat field gathering the green heads
Of the fully formed but unripened
wheat excited the curiosity of a party
OF pleasure seekers on a country ram
bic the other day, says the Detroit
Free Press. On questioning her con-
cerning the use of the green wheat
heads it was found that her basket
also contained barks, and during the
chat that followed the little old wom-
an impaired some valuable knowledge
concerning the preparations of home
made salves--warranted to cure every
possible sprain or strain or open sore.
But she claimed that best of all the
good old salves. better than all the
doctors medicines for stopping pains
and achcs,' is the wheat salve." for
which she was gathering the green
wheat heads. Just why she should call
it wheat salve" (when the prepara-
tion is composed more largely of barks
than whea) is not known. This is her
recipe Tor preparing the excellent and
very healing compound renowned in
the little village where the salve maker
lives: 3.
Strip the green inside bark from
the sweet elder and take a quart of
tiiis bark and mix it with the same
quantity of the bark of bitter-sweet
roots Add to the barks a generous
handful of green wheat blades and
one quart of thick sweet cream.
Stew all together over the fire until
you can pour off the clear oil which
should be kept in large-mouthed bot
ties This healing salve will keep
indefinitely, and is believed by the
old residents of the little village TO
possess potent charm for healing
all the pains of bruised flesh. broken
skin aud the pains and aches Of
SpraiuS aud strains.

MID ANGRY WATERS.
An Ef"itire Trip Through Canadian
Rapids in woodman's
Hnrk Canoe.

Now before us ran a strange. wild
/ river of secthing white, lashing among
great gray-capped, dark-greenish
/ powders that blocked the way. High,
rocky banks standing close together
squeezed the mighty river into q tu-
mutt of fury. Swiftly we glide down
the racing torrent and plunge through
the boiling waters, says a writer I'm
Scrlbner's Magazine. Sharp rocks rear
above the flying spray, while others
are barely covered by the foaming
hood. II is dangerous work. We mid
men paddle hard to force the canoe
ahead of the current. The steersmen
IN bow and stern ply and bend their
grew seven-foot paddles. The bow
man with eyes alert keenly watches
the Whlrling waters and signs of hid
den rocks below. The roar of seeth-
ing waters browns the bowman's or
dcrs. The steersman closely watches
and follows every move his companion
makes. Down we go, riding upon the
very back of the river; for here the
water forms great ridge rising four
or i've feet above the waterline on
either shore. 70 swerve to either side
means sure destruction. With terrific
speed we reach the brink of a violent
descent. For moment the canoe
pauSes, steadies herself, then dips her
head as the stern upheaves, and down
we plunge among more rocks than
ever. Right in our path the angry
stream is waging battle with hoary
bowldcr that disputes the way. With
all its might and fury the frantic river
hisses and roars and lashes it. Yet il
never moves-it only frowns destruc-
tlon upon all that darcs approach it.
How the bowman is working! See his
paddle bend! With lightning move
ments he iabs his great paddle deep
INTO the water and close under the left
SIDE of the bow; then with n mighty
heave he lifts her head around The
great canoe swings as though upon n
pivot; for is not the stccrsman doing
exactly the very opposite at this pre-
cIse moment? We sheer off. But the
next instant the paddles are working
in the opposite sides for the bowman
sees signs of watcr-covered rock not
Ihree yards from the very bow. With
wild lunge he strives to lift the how
around; but the paddle snaps like a
rotten twig. Instantly he grabs for
another and grating sound runs the
length of the heaving bottom. The
next moment he is working the new
paddle. a little water is coming in.

MIMIC WARFARE
Vessels of United States States Navy
Engaged in it

Washington, Aug. 20-The mimic
naval war began at noon today, Ad.
miral Eligginson and Commander
Pillsbury, in command Of the rival
ieets, respectively designated "blue''
and "whitc," the latter, under com.
mand of Commander Pillsbury, being
the attackicg llect, we're supplied with
confidential instructions which went
into effect at noon.
The problem for the "whte" fleet,
which is at sea, is to- effect n landing
between Portland, Me-, and Cape Cod
before August 25. To be successful,
the attacking fleet must seize some
undefended anchorage between the
points named-Portland harbor being
included, but not Casco Bay-and
hold it for six hours without being
orstcd by u superior force. The in
structions define the harbor seized as
one that must be capable of gun and
mine defense, with not less than six
Iathoms of water, anchorage for sew
eral large ships, and in all respects
suitable for an advance base for an
enemy's lleet, including heavy ships.
Under the instructions defining the
character of the harbor he must seize,
Commander Pillsbury is considerably
restricted. The Prairie, which is the
heaviest draught vessel in his fleet.
draws slightly under - feet, the
Panther Is feet , inches and the Supply
20 feet.
Naval officers generally agree that
the chances against the white squad
ron in the game which is on ere very
great, and that practically its only
chance of success will lie in the ex-
istence Of heavy fog under cover of
which Commander Pillsbury might
slip through the Gordon Of scouts and
reach an anchorage in an undefended
port.
70 win, the white squadron must be
IMPORT for six hours without being
confronted with II superior force.
Within that ltime after the gwhite
squadron vas sighted Admiral Hig-
ginson, if he held his heavy ships
midway between the two extremities
of the line to be defended, at Rock
port, for instance, could reach his
enemy by steaming ten or eleven knots
an hour. From Cape Ann, which is
Just outside of Rockport, TO Cape
Cod is only forty.two and one half

win Roncal the Ordinance

AZ the last meeting of the city coun-
ell motion was made to repeal the
recent liquor ordinance, passed dur
ing temperance agitation here under
the leadership of Miss Madeline
Southard. The ordinance in question
is city application Of the State law
know as the Hurrell search and seiz-
ure law, 1t is the lost stringent one
ever passed in this State or city.
The REGISTER is informed that the
vote on the motion to repeal the ordi-
nance was five to two, one councilman
being absent and the Mayor not vot-
ing.
Under the existing ordinance the
penalty for liquor selling is so severe
that none of the jointists have pleaded
guilty or paid fines TO plead guilty,
In order 10 pay fine and continue,
would permit anyone so desiring to
prosecute with II fine and jail sentence
as certain result. one councilman
Is quoted as saying that the present
law has not stopped the joints, bu
has stopped all re;enue from them
and this is probably the ground on
which the council reconsidered its
previous action.
Several members of the Law and
Order League were investigating the
subject today and while they realize
that they cannot prevent the council
from taking whatever action 1T sees
fit, they will doubtless endeavor to
dissuade members of the council from
voting for the repeal and the adop.
tion of new ordinance.

NUT-BROWN MAIDENS.
The Marked Contrast of the spanish
and Native women of the
PHI pine Islands.

In Daniel Everton, Volunteer Reg
ular,' romance of the Philippines" ="
| by Israel Putnam, published by Funk
~ Wagnalls company, New York, a
shrcwd and clever contrast between
American and Filipino character runs
throughout the entertaining book.
The authors study of the women of
the two races is particularly inter-
| esting.
The admiXture of the non Caucasian
blood with the basic Castilian is not
considered blcmish in the Spanish
circles of society in the Philippines.
Mercedes, the daughter of Senior Paris,
rich sugar planter of Negros, has no
doubt at all that she is an equal and
proper mate for Evcrton, the aristo-
cratic New Yorker. "Both of her
grandfathcrs having been Spaniards,
IT did not occur to her that Everton
could regard her as being in any way
inferior because of the darker strain
which ran through her veins"
In fact, it would appear that the less
Spanish blood woman can boast, the
greater recommendation it is.
Judging by the Spanish women [
have seen out here, | would rather
marry a native, myself, than one OF
them, yawned O'Cunnor.
Right you are said MncTayisb.
Such marriages occur, and have seen
them turn out as well as the average
marriage at home. The women live
altogether for their husbands. have a
child every year for 20 years, and then
die. That ought to be devotion enough
for any man."
don't suppose there could be any
companionship with one of them Ev-
erton remarked, inquiringly.
" it's companionshipy you're after
retorted MacTavish, you had better
go and live in a club. Women are the
same the world over. Once they get
married, children and housekeepinp
are all they care about. The most YOU
can hope for is good temper, and your
Filipino has that. The white man who
marries one of them gets a devoted
wife and is head of his own house. and
don't you forget it, That's more than
can he said of some married men at
home
Did you ever meet a native woman
who could talll-keep her end up. so
to speak" inquired Everton.
Well, rather replied johnson.
'Ihey are by no means the playthings
you might suppose. On the average.
they talk quite as well as our women
do at home. You have got to take their
surroundings into consideration. They
have no life outside of their own little
towns, but there's precious little goes
on IN those towns that they can't talk
about as well aS the men. Go intoanv
90 OF their houses; you'll find. say. 80
hooks in the place, and almost every
girl in the house has read all of them.
Your women may have 5000, but they
don't read any of them"
