ANIMALS ABOARD SHIP.
They Get seasick, Though Not Just
the Way Human Beings Do.

Speaking of animals getting sick
at sea" said man who has had some
experience with the dumb brutes on
the briny deep, 81 can tell you that
they do get sick, and sometimes they
get very sick too. Of course, they
do not manifest the sickness in the
way that human beings show it and
for reasons which will suggest them
selves on moments reflection.
But they nevertheless get quite as
sick as members of the human fam
lily. Seasickness in human beings
will manifest itself in violent vom-
iting. A seasick person cannot re-
tain anything in the stomach. The
old rule that whatever goes up must
come down is in the case, of pro-
nounced seasickness reversed. What
ever goes down must come up. But
when we come to reckon with horses
and COWS we find a different condi-
ton to deal with. Horses and cows
never vomit. They cannot. So here
right at the beginning of the mat
ter we find reason for difference
in the way this peculiar sickness
shows itself in man and beast.
81 have had more experience with
horses than with any other kind of
dumb animal and consequently,
know more about the way the horse
suffers during seasickness. 1t is a
rather curious and rather interest
ing fact that the horse is more vio-
lently attacked in the feet than in
any other portion of the body. |
have seen the feet of horses at sea
swell until they could scarcely stand
on them. Of course, the stomach
of the animal is affected to some
extent, but this is not so serious a
matter as the attack in the feet.
The effect of these attacks is some
times of a lasting kind, and the
usefulness of horses is seriously i'm
paired.
"The fact that seasickness attacks
the horse in the feet is mainly due
to the peculiar influence a vessels
motion has on the kidneys Of the
animal. At any rate, this is the
generally accepted view Of the mat
ter. We cannot say definitely just
why horses get knotty feet at sea,
but the popular view of horsemen
who have studied the matter is as
stated. AS to COWS, I do not know
a great deal about them, but l un-
derstand the chief trouble with
them at sea is that they lose their
taste for food and quit eating"

The Tappinu of the Death Watch.

The so called death watch, dread
ed by the superstitious, is a small
beetle which has very powerful
joint in it's neck and calls its mate
by tapping with its head on the wall
or on any surface where it may
happen to be located. The noise is
similar to that which may be pro-
duced by tapping with the finger
nails on a table, and the insect can
frequently be made to answer such
taps.

STAGE DRESSING ROOMS.
Often the Cause of Disputes and Feuds
Between Actresses.

Often the Cause of Disputes and Feud'
Between Actresses.
'Deliver me from staging a show
with two women stars in the cast,
said one of the veteran Broadway
stage managers. "They will give
you more trouble than barrel Of
monkeys or a regiment of blond
chorus girls"
Jealousy, I suppose, because
their parts cannot be exactly alike, >
observed the ordinary citizen who
was lucky in the friendship Of the
lord of the greenroom.
ut is jealousy all right said the
manager, ''but not over their parts
They have fought that all out with
the author during rehearsals. When
they get into my department the
trouble is all over dressing rooms. "
''One would think that any COM
Portable room would be good enough
to dress in,'' remarked the citizen,
betraying his ignorance.
"You'd think lot of things .
growled the manager, ''but unless
the dressing rooms are as like as
two peas I'd like you to convince
twin stars that they were receiving
proper treatment. Even if the
rooms are alike the women are not
satisfied. They want the wall pa
per and the wardrobe curtains
changed to match their complex
ions.
"The average theater is usually
shy on dressing rooms. It may be
thoroughly up to date and perfectly
appointed in every way until you
get back of the stage or under the
main floor, where are the quarters
OF the people. I've never seen the
time that | could not use dozen
more rooms than I had at my COM
mand. Generally there is one room
that is very much superior in loca-
ton and furnishings to the others.
It is intended for the leading wom-
an, and in the old days when there
was only one leading woman there
was little trouble about this prize
room.
"In this act Of the life play, how
ever, there are likely to be several
leading women. The woman who
plays the name part insists that she |
is the star. The popular singer who
IS being featured in the piece and
Who draws $50 or 500 a week more |
han the woman of the name part
insists that she is the star. If the
eading man has a wife in the cast,
The surely deserves the best dress
ng room. And there you are
hree women and one decent room.
ut is just like shaking red flag
It a bull, this business of dealing
tut dressing rooms. Sometimes it
u but breaks up a show, and many
ifelong feuds between actresses are

The Care of Gut Glass.

The housekeeper whose table linen Is spotless and well laundered and whose glass and silver glstens properly, has mastered much. Such a woman gives the following hints as to the proper way to care for cut glass:
 Use only tepid water and the purest of castillo or other good soap for the cleans ing and rinsing of such articles and ma nipulate small. stuff brush during the washing in order to get every particle of dust out of the cutting. Then submerge the piece En boxwood sawdust and allow 1t to remain some little time SO that the sawdust shall absorb the moisture and clear the glass. The softest of clean cloth without any nap about 1t should
 be used for the final wiping and polish ing.
 Common white potato peelings should
 be used for cleansing the bottom of car afes, decanters and vases. The shot ire
 quently scratch the glass and leave marks that show on the outside. The potato peeings should be left in the ar- ticles over night or for several hours and then be washed out with tepid wa ter.
 Experience proves that the short life of many articles of rich glassware is due to the abrupt changes of temperature to which they are commonly subjected. A tray or dish that has been used for ice cream, sherbet or any very cold sub stance. If plunged into hot water, Is al- most sure to crack. Likewise a pitcher or tumbler which has been filled with ice water if put suddenly into hot water or placed too near a fire or hot stove, will show the effects There is no risk of

HOME FOR INCURABLES TO
 BE BUILT BY SUNSHINE

one Of the movements in the State for which women are responsible Is that of establishing home for incurables, and feeble minded children
 This time it is the "Sunshiners'' who are doing the work. or perhaps it would be hetter to say, they are laying the foun- oatlon Tor the same, and hope for co-op- eration and sympathy from ali sources cry one.
 Mrs. Harry T. Inge of Mobile was re- gently appointed the President of the Ala bama Sunshine Society to succeed Mrs. Chappell Cory of Montgomery. At a meeting held at her home last week if was said that enthusiasm prevailed, and the members discussed plans for making and scattering all the Sunshine possi- ble. It was their unanimous opinion that 1t was better to have some definite aim or object for which to work. Mrs. Inge therefore as President, made the propo- sitton referred to above.
 She told of the fact that in Alabama there is no place provided for feeble minded children. or such unfortunates as those suffering from epilepsy and other lncurable diseases The latter are some times sent to the insane hospital at Tus- caloosa, but as Mrs. Inge pointed out that is not the place for them.
 The Mobile Herald. in commenting on the proposal said that the President pre- sented her plans so forcibly that all were convinced of the crying need of such a nome, and 1t was decided to begin at once and try to raise as quickly as pos sihle the necessary funds.
 In letter on the subject Mrs Inge tells of a case in a Mobile infirmary-a poor charred agonized man who had been fatally burned by falling in the fire. His was an example of the desperate condi- tion of hundreds. perhaps, in the State.
 Said Mrs. Inge:
 He was an epiIeptic and there are SO many similar cases that I think there ought tn be some safe place for these un- fortunates besides the insane asylum. Many object so to sending their loved ones there. Then there is no home in the Sonth so far as I know for feeble minded children"
 It Is proposed to establish the Home in Mobile. One Sunshine member already has given $l00 toward the fund, in mem ory of her own little child.
 The Sunshiners say that their work is not charity, but an interchange of kind ly greetings, and the passing on of Good Cheer" The Society is not as strong in Alabama as 1t is in some States, but 1t is bound to thrive. Scattering sunshine is infectious. and this home which they pro- pose to establish for incura bles, and lt- tie feeble minded children will undoubt- edly grow to a fourishing height from sunshine seed.

FURNISHINGS OF JOHN E.
 MOORE COTTAGE COMPLETED.

One of the handsomest cottages of the Falkner Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek is the John E. Moore Memorial Cottage. The money for its erection was willed to the Episcopal Diocese of Ala bama by the widow of MT. John E. Moore. and the cottage was built with that fund
 It Is a matter of special interest. there- fore. that the furnishing of the cottage was completed yesterday. Friends in Huntsville. Tuscaloosa and Decatur had furnished three bedrooms, and the James D. Webb Chapter, [, D. C., of Greens boro, furnished the fourth and last For the sake of expediency, a check was sent by the Greensboro Chapter to Mrs. F. H. Warren in this city, with a request that she make the purchase for them. Funds from another source were ready at the same time for the furniture of the dining room. and Mrs. Warren and Mrs. J. Nj. Falkner together had the pleasure of selecting the various articles.
 Perhaps no work of a benevolent char acter gives quite so much pleasure to Southern women as providing for the wants of needy Confederate veterans. Alabama women especially find happiness in working for the Falkner Home, and in such instance as that of completing the furnishings of the John E. Moore Memorial Cottage, which was accom- plished yesterday gratitude mounts high

 Something of the same forethought must be taken in guarding cut glass ob- delicate child or a pet animal. Under ordinary rough handling the glass will lose It's luster and crack or chip. But with few precautions regularly observ- ed there Is no reason why a piece of cut glass should not be preserved intact and brilliant for generations

The theory that the juices of the fowl find their way downward and. settling in the often dry and tasteless breast to its great improvement. is correct. It will be found. too, that the apparent difficulty of keep ing the bird on its breast Is only appar ent,, little balancing In the pan until the processes of cooking have settled the fowl being all that Is needed.

It Is very seldom that coffee roasting Is done at home in this country: and in our cities even coffee grinding is left to the grocer, who supplies it in fresh, small quantities. as desired But if we are to enjoy the peculiar fiavors of the coffee made in Norway and France, we must doctor the dry beans and do our own grinding
 In Norway. where superb coffee is made, bit of butter is added to the beans, while they are roasting in the covered shovel used there for that purpose. In France. piece of butter the size of walnut Is put with three pounds of coffee beans and also a dessertspoonful of pow dered sugar. This brings out both flavor and scent. and, moreover, gives the slight caramel taste which will be remembered
