Led a Retired Life.
Mrs. Lander retired from the stage
about thirty years ago and lived in
Washington ever since. Her little white
cottage on B Street southeast. just OPP
posite the Capitol Grounds. was well
known to all the older Washingtonians
In it her large circle of friends were
always sure of an old-fashioned but
none the less hearty welcome. She lived
contented with her books, her studies Of
the languages, and her rose garden at
the back OF the cottage.
Many years ago Mrs. Lander adopted
two English boys, whom she called
Charles and Frederick Lander. One of
their sons, Charles Frederick Lander,
was also adopted by her. He is
eighteen years old and a school boy in
England. 1t is probable that he will be
her only heir.

EARNS HIS LINING
III * PECULIAR WAY

POLE on the East Side, New
~ York, says the Sun" makes his
living by breaking plates. He
breaks a considerable number each
week for applicants and receives a fee
for so doing. The plate to be broken
is usually furnished by himself. but oc-
casionally the customer provides 1t.
Almost anybody might be expected to
be able to smash plate with an iron
hammer. which is the tool the old man
uses, but the curious thing about his
method is that the blow falls so as
to break the plate into three pieces,
two of certain size and one larger
and differently shaped from the others.
There are few chips and splinterings
from this plate smashing, and never more
nor less than the three pieces.
The plates are mortuary plates, and
are an important part of the burial GER
emory among certain orthodox Jews
The two smaller pieces of the potter's
ware are applied to cover the dead per-
sons eyes, and the larger and longer
piece is meant TO extend from eye
brow to mouth. The believers hold that
such pieces of pottery ware placed with
in the coffin assure protection TO the
soul when it makes its exit from the
body a stipulated time after burial.
Thy pillow shall be the earth" is
construed as partial warrant for the
custom.
The secret OF this particular method
of plate-breaking has come down from
rabbi to rabbi through many genera
tions. Originally the plate was split
with a sword. Later the breakage was
effected with a trowel Now a hammer
answers. Formerly the plates for NOR
tuary use were supposed to issue one
and all from a certain potter's kiln
near Jerusalem, and some of the plates
were believed to be heirlooms since
King Solomon's day. But with the re-
moyal of the tribes from place to place
and the stress OF poverty and strange
conditions 1t has come to be that almost
any plate Will do If II be potter's ware
and not tin or metal and If it is broken
by a person authorized TO bless the
ceremony.
So this weakened old rabbi of a Pc
culiar. fast disappearing sect among the
other orthodox Jews is called upon by
many to perform the ceremony. And
he has steady employment. even though
his constituents be among the poorest
OF the ghetto's people and able to give
only 1.-THE OF the fee which used to
be considered proper for such service.

THE DANGERS IN THE
SODA WATER ,SIPIION

n o you know that the siphon bot
tie ordinarily used for sichy,
soda water and other efferves-
cent drinks is usually charged with a
pressure of from 100 to $50 pounds TO the
square inch? The damage likely to re-
suit from an explosion Of one of these
little household articles is by no means
inconsiderable; and yet the average
person handles a siphon as though 1t
were the most harmless thing in :he
world.
There are two or three things to re-
member in handling siphons: Never
keep your siphOns near the range. for
the unusual heat is more likely than
anything else to cause an explosion
Don't subject the bottle to any sudden
change Of temperature whatever. For
instance. If you keep your siphons in
the ice bOx-and that is the best and
safest place for them-don't grasp The
glass part of the bottle with your warm
hand, for the sudden change of tenn
perature is apt TO cause an explosion.
The best way to carry slphon at all
times is by the metal top at the head of
the bottle. 1t is needless to say the
greatest care should be taken not to
drop siphon, for an explosion is the
inevitable result. When empty. the
siphon is, OF course, quite harmless
That these bottles are considered a
great source of danger is evidenced by
the fact that the courts invariably hold
the bother strictly liable for all dam
ages resulting from the explosion OF
one OF them If even the slightest defect
in the manufacture OF the bottle can
be shown.

GO END, the boy to sea and make
man of him." used to be the
cant phrase when Captain Mar
ryat's novels were more popular than
they are now. 1t was the fad then 10
believe that the navy would make man

parents a moments trouble" and a gen.

today. especially in the United States
and Uncle Sam no longer maintains
reform school aioat.
The father who goes to the recruiting
Office and tries to force his son into the
service to get rid of him is met with
disappointment. The recruiting officer
has his eye on the boy from the time he
enters the Office until he leaves. and 1t
is largely the observations of this scru-
tiny that determine whether or not the
applicant is to be accepted
II it is the parent who is most anxious
TO have the enlistment and the son who
shows by his manner that he does not
favor the parental enthusiasm, If the
boy shows signs of yulgarity and i'll
breeding, which it is evident the parent
hopes the service will eradicate, there
is trouble ahead for the applicant.
Boys Wanted for the Navy.
Uncle Sam wants boys for his ships
who want to go into the navy Of their
own accord. II the boy shows the
slightest signs OF unwillingness, whether
by word or action. the officer makes a
note of it. Almost the first question
asked the applicant is, " Do you yourself
want to enlist?'' In most cases the
question is only one of form. but some
times, when parental pressure has been
brought TO bear on an unwilling boy,
he explodes all prearranged plans by
answering NO" at the crucial moment.
At other times. even when an Affirmative
answer is given. It is evident to the
officer that Il is an unwilling one.
Only refusal meets such cases. The
officer does not always give the true
reason. but generally finds objection in
the boys physical condition The rea-
son, however. is that Uncle Sam has
gone out Of the reformatory business.
True, he does not discourage the taking

ROMANTIC LIFE STORY OF AN ACTRESS
Remarkable Margaret Davenport
Lander, Stage Favorie of Thirty Years of Ago.

TN THE death of Mrs. Jean Margaret
Davenport Lander recently at
Lynn. Mass, the stage loses one
of its grand old women. Known to
the theatergoer of the early 7O's as
one of the greatest actresses of her
day, she was popular no less for her
womanly sweetness and sympathy. So
ciety was fond of her. too, as brilliant
conversationalist and a rare student of
life.
Born in England.
Her life reads almost like a page
from some romance. She was born at
WoIverhampton, England, in 1929, her
father. Thomas d. Davenport. being
prominent lawyer of the town and her
mother an actress of attainment. Mr..
Davenport was an intimate friend of
the elder Keene and succeeded him In
the management of a theater at Rich
mond Little seven year old Jean
showed unmistakable talent in a role in
THE Spoiled Child" when it was pre-
scented at the Richmond playhouse, and
her delighted father set her several
other parts to learn. For ten years
afterward she was one of the most pop
ular actresses in the United Kingdom.
Her Debut in the States.
She made her first bow to an Amer
Jean audience in the old National Thea
ter, under the management Of James
Wallack, playing a twelve-night en-
gagement and including in her roper
toire Juliet in THE Countess" and Julie
in 1.-The Hunchbabck." 1t is said that
waIlack met her as she was coming out
of the theater on the last night and
told her in his blunt way: Miss Dav-
export, you are one of our greatest &C
tresses. There is a future before YOU"
From this country she took a company
to Holland. but returned to the States
three years later.
Married to Colonel Lander.
In 1860 Miss Davenport was married
to Col. Frederick W. Lander, In San
Francisco. The officer died two years
afterward, having risen TO the rank of
brigadier general. Wishing to continue
her husbands work as far as possible,
she took charge, with her aged mother,
of the Federal Hospital at Port Royal,
sc.
So devoted was she to this work that
she had almost given up all stage am
bition. In 1865. however. she made a
second appearance at Nfblo's Garden,
New York, in "Mesalliancer'
A short time afterward she began TO
prepare for what is considered her best
role. the name part in Giacommetti's
great play, Queen Elizabeth Her
whole heart was in the character, and
she spent months in getting ready for
the first night.
A Finished Actress
A story is told even today of her in
tense regard for detail a trait OF her
artistic character to which she at
tributed much of her success. She was
playing at the old National Theater at
the time, here in Washington. with
James Taylor as leading man. In those
