educational progress that is being

which is based on the position Of six
dots, which are made ON brass plates
by the six keys Of a machine specially
constructed for this work. After tile
plates have been made they are proof
read. The plates are read with the
fingers, and any dots that have been
misplaced are hammered down. In a
letter to Mr. Murphy, Miss Hague
woods teacher says Dinnie has no
difficulty whatever in correcting any
mistakes that may occur. After the
brass plates are proofread the print
ing is done on moistened sheets Of
plain white paper These sheets are
placed over brass plates and then be
tween rubber sheets, and the whole
run through a common roller press.
After being dried the sheets are
bound in book form The entire work
is done by Miss Haguewood with
great skill and accuracy. y.-Des Moines

Fhe Iowa state convention, without
appearing to regard the numerous
tetpit tenpests outside Of the state
enthusiastically endorses Governor

platform on which any man who
believes in protection can consistently
stand, pat or otherwise. OF course
this is a serious disappointment to
the isn1cratic hopeful.

A Bio Oil Carrier.


BY far the largest steamship ever
built for the transportation of petro-
leum in bulk has just been launched
at Greenock, near Glasgow. Her name
is the Narragansett, and she is to
carry oil from the United States to
Europe. She is designed to hold H.
600 tons of oil, and 1,50O tons more
of fuel, liquid or solid. When fully
loaded her displacement will be 21O00
tons. There are bigger ships for
other kinds Of service, but nothing
comparable to the Narragansett for
carrying oil. Two novel features OF
the new vessel are placing her engines
amjdships, instead of aft, as in other
'taGkers." and providing means for
cleaning her up in a few hours for a
cargo of any other kind. In fact, she
can take miscellaneous freight in her
side tanks, while the central ones are
filled with petroleum, if that course
be deemed desirable.

These OF similar dried green peas
are excellent and, the last two OF
three years, have come greatly to the
fore Usually instructions are put on
each packet how to cook them and if
they are carefully followed, the result
is very successful.
Soaking is essential, of course, then
afterward they can be cooked by any
recipe given for fresh green peas.
Should there be any yellowlsh OF
greyish peas amongst them after
soaking, they ought to be removed,
as they take longer to boil than the
younger ones.
You viii find they make the most
tempting green pea soup. especially II
you boil a ham or bacon bone with
them. or use pot liquor In which fresh
or salt meat has been boiled.

Plants raised from seed sown In a
hot-bed in February have been in
bloom all summer. and will continue
to flower until the snow hides their
faces, and after that if we are favored
with Indian summer. These are
among the few flowers we must have;
we like their colors, even though old
fashioned; we like their generosity;
they are ever in bloom and enjoy
rather than resent cutting; they are
bold, showing plainly they occupy a
prominent place in the garden and
mean to fill it well. The double varie-
ties are a great improvement over the
original single ones.

In reporting a marriage at Empor-
Ia, the Gazette tells of a curious SUI
perstition held by the bride. She felt
that if it should rain OF be cloudy on
her wedding day her marriage would
end unhappily. So she refused to set
the day saying she would notify her
Alliance when she regarded the ele-
ments as propitious, and thus it came
about that the young man was hastily
summoned by telephone from a place
ten miles away last week when the
sun was shining gloriously.-Kansas
