A new material made of non-poison'
our red phosphorus and potassium
chlorate has been bought by the Ger
man government, and is to be substi-
tuted in its works for the deleterious
and oftentimes more dangerous white
phosphorus. Great gain attaches to
the fact that it does not ignite easily,
hence removing or minimizing the
danger from fire. How important this
is appears when one is reminded Of
fires caused by the ignition of white
phosphorus matches by the suns rays.
In regard to danger to employees, the
commission says explosions are practi-
cally impossible with the new ma

lnexnensive Bath Robes.

Pretty wash fiannels in pink or blue
are just the thing for bath gowns.
They are warm and comfortable for
room wear and save a more elaborate
gown, says the Philadelphia Bulletin.
For one of average height six yards is
enough, and as they need no trimming
the cost of the gown is trifing. Cut
in three widths, one in back or two
in front; hem, and mount on a double
yoke, finishing the neck with wide
turnover collar. Gather the full
sleeves into a wristband, and stitch
hens, cuffs and collar. Put a big
square outside pocket on the left
front, and fasten the garment with
pearl buttons.

The MOSAIC METHOD.

Moses was city young man and
had method of overcoming evil with
evil.
One day he found a man killing an
other man, so he killed the killer.
His method was not appreciated by
any one. so he went to live on farm
for forty years.
He found father-in-law who taught
him a lot of common sense.
When he had learned to do a few
things right then God called on him
and gave him an order
Moses had lot of zeal when he
knew everything except how to do it
right.
Now that he knew how to do 1t
right and had an order he lost his
zeal.
He wanted his brother to be given
the order. SO God let him have part of
It. But by pushing Moses along God
made him very useful and practical
leader.
Moses got mad over the follies of
his followers and then made fool of
himself for a minute.
He might have lived longer and
been more useful IL he had asked God
in place of getting mad
Moses got sick of the Mosaic meth
cd, as everybody does In time, and he
learned by expensive experience to
leave all glory and revenge to God.
He might have learned all he did by
observation and saved himself a lot
of trouble.

The New Bridal Fan.

At recent New York society we'd
ding a decided novelty was in evil
dence. Instead of the orthodox bou-
quet Of orange blossoms or white and
silver prayer book, the bride carried
a fan of costly point lace, which was
attached to her wrist by means of a
narrow white satin ribbon. Her long
and narrow point applique veil was
so arranged as to conceal little of her
hair. The top was twisted in loose
fold, which was arranged in two loops,
one much lower than the other, at the
side Of her moderately high couture.
A very long and full spray of orange
blossoms was fastened at the left OF
the tulle loops and trailed almost to
her shoulder. A still larger spray was
used ON the corsage.

When prunes are served they should
fall apart from the stones and be very
tender. In order that the prunes
should reach the perfection of tender
ness It Is better to soak them in cold
water for twenty-four hours before
cooking. First they should be washed
thoroughly in scalding water; then
put to soak. After the soaking they
may be boiled with sugar-not too

served with honey. Honey Is always

 Good Game Saturday.
 The local base ball team journeyed to Woodbury Saturday and played trattling" good sixteen inning game with the strong team of that place. From start to finish the overtime con test was thoroughly exciting. Holmes, the veteran long armed twirler, was on the slab for the Woodbury team, and although touched up for sixteen safe drives, he was very steady at critical times. Mack pitched heady game for the Watertown team and was backed up ill a very satisfactory man her. In the eighth inning the Water town team had the game apparently well in hand, but the Woodbu1y boys look a brace and tied the score From the ninth inning the crowd was con- tinuously kept on edge by the sharp fielding of both teams. With the score 6 to in their half of the sixteenth, McGowan of Watert0wn doubled to center, but as the next man up famed ingloriously it looked as if another 1n- ming would go by without scoring. Mo Nellis, however, soon changed the ap- pearance of things by cracking out single which scored McGowan with what proved to be the winning run of the game.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Charles Bal lanchon and Paul Lawrence, two well known automobiles of Simonson ave nue, Clifton, N. r., had a narrow es- cape from death. Both are members of the Staten Island Automobile club They had been to Plainfield and re turned by way of Perth Anboy and Tottenville ferry and thence along the Amboy road. As they reached Crooks crossing a train came in sight, which they had not seen or heard. They saw their predicament simultaneously and jumped, one from each side of the ma chine. As they struck the ground the machine was~hit by the locomotive and wrecked. Ballanchon and Lawrence suffered much from shock and were later taken home in carriage.
