A WOMAN DID 1T.

"How and when was condensed
milk discovered?" said D. M. Miedell
% the Louisville Herald. "Well, that
s an easy question, known to all ven
1ers of the article.
"It CHANGED that in 1854 the journey
rom New Orleans to New York was
! considerable trip. a certain lady
Mrs. Albert Cashinger-determined to
make the trip with her sick infant.
Mrs. Cashinger's baby was SO i'll
hat she realized that it would be
necessary to make trip TO New York
20 receive expert medical attention II
she hoped to save the child's life.
But to travel that long distance the
child had to have milk. Milk wouldn't
keep fresh more than few hours.
so there she was, kept back from
making the trip merely because she
could not supply the child with fresh
milk.
in her despair she began to expert
nent to see if she could not preserve
milk the same as she did jelly or
anything else. She hit upon plan
which seemed to give satisfaction. So
she preserved several big jars of the
stuff, put it upon a sailing vessel and
made the trip. The child fed upon
he milk and was nourished.
"In New York several men learned
If her discovery. They tried to make
some of the condensed milk in the

they followed her to New Orleans
and there she unwittingly unfolded
aer valuable secret. On the island of
Galveston these men started small
factory and there the first salable
condensed milk was made.
''The woman died poor. The manu-
eacturers made fortune Now con-
lensed milk is sold in every part of
the world.

WOULD YOU BE svELTE?

The health" craze, which has been
started of late years by the insistent
demands of hygiene and the discon-
certing discoveries Of scientific and
medical men, now includes a new
"cure" for the matron with tenden'
cy to embonpoint. This Is nothing
less than a daily practice Of the an.
cient art of skipping" Every morn.
ing the lady who values her personal
appearance must take her skipping
rope and solemnly jump the allotted
number of times, breathing slowly
and regularly as she goes through the
performance. The girl still in the
nursery and schoolroom is also being
encouraged to revert to this old fash
ioned amusement, which ''has been
found to be beneficial in every way
to the health"
And yet, when We who are yet on
the sunny side of thirty, look back
we can recall that rope skipping was
often condemned, when we were chill
dren, because it was so bad for the
heart!

"What was this conclusion?" asks

"Stop your philosophy. Come to busl.

who cannot help sending black look

seems destined to give him trouble. :
"WeIl here 1t is in a nutshell: Molly

THE CAMERA AT COURT.

The Queen has long been famous
as an amateur photographer. But she
is by no means the only member of
the royal family who is devotee of
the camera. The Princess of Wales
has a large collection of photographs
taken by herself, many of them at
Sandrineham. Princess Victoria, Prin-
cess Beatrice the Duches of Fife-all
these go in largely for amateur pho.
tography. At Sandringham dark
room has been fitted up. and some at
least of the Queens own pictures are
developed at hcme.

ART OF PREPARING RHUBARB.

Many a fine stalk of rhubarb is
spoiled by being put on the front OF
the range and boiled as if it were
mess of spinach or potatoes. The re-
suit is sort of hasty pudding, il
which every, section of the delicate
fruit loses its identity and juice and
substance are mixed in unsightly con,
fusion. Rhubarb should be cooked
slowly and carefully, each section be-
ing kept distinct and shapely without
the loss of much color. The red ends
of the stalks are the choicest and give
the finest color. Although rhubarb is
so cheap to buy, it is one of the dear
est of fruits to cook, as it requires so
much sugar to make it appetizing. II
is false economy to stew it with soda.
as IS done by some housewives, or to
parboil it in one water and then stew
it in another, with the notion that The
first water has removed the acidity
Soda simply kills the life OF the fruit,
sleaving it flavorless and fiat. The
same thing happens in using two
waters. Ideal ruhbarb sauce presents
a mingling of acid and sweet that is
as delicious as any of the more pre-
tentious preserves.

CHAPTER XXI.
CAPTAIN BEN, OF THE GOOD SHIP AVA.
LANCHE.


LANCHE.
A short time later Mynheer Joe
makes his way in the direction of the
river, determined to carry out his
share of the plan as proposed by Mr..
Grimes. II the Avalanche has not al.
ready sailed he Is sure Of hearty CO.
operation on the part of his friend. the
Yankee skipper, and SO far as this
share of the contract is concerned it
can be set down as good as already ac-
complished.
There is considerable foreign ship
ping at Bombay, much Of which lies
in the river, as the Indian Ocean can
be very treacherous, and great tidal
waves have done tremendous amount
of mischief in the past.
When Mynheer Joe reaches the ter
races, or ghauts, that line the river.
he finds himself in the vicinity of the
place where the dead are burned. A
great pillar of smoke rises. and by
glancing over wall he can see the
funeral pyre, with all its primitive ac-
cessories, the sad mourners, the black
attendants and the bodies that are
being thus cremated, their ashes to be
cast upon the sacred -Ganges.
Although the weird spectacle might
interest him at another time, just at
present Mynheer Joe has something
else on his mind which he cannot dis
miss.
Eagerly he scans the surface of the
water in search of the clipper ship. 1t
was here Captain Ben told him the
vessel lay. A number can be seen
near by; one bears the Star aud
Stripes. and upon her Joe fastens his
eyes.
He speedily makes her out to be
the Avalanche, since she carries out
the verbal description Captain Ben
gave. To his chagrin, he sees signs
4 that indicate an early sailing.
"By my life. they look as though
they only wait for a boat that may
be out! Another hour. and 1 might
have missed himw he exclaims aloud,
when a heavy hand comes down
with a thump In the middle of his
back. and hearty voice roars:
swell done, Mynheer Joe! Reckon
you've come down to see what kind of
a craft l SAIL Go with me on board;
we can have some hours of chinning
ere the anchor is heaved."
OF course. it is bluff Captain Ben
| himself. the old schoolmate with
whom Joe tussled many time in
the days gone by. That worthy shakes
hands eagerly now; he could almost
hug the Yankee sailor, such is his
4 tense delight at seeing him.

THE FUTURE OF DRESS.

AS women advance in the scale of
progress, will they leave the love of
dress behind? Fifty-odd years ago.
when the first women's rights conven-
tions met in New England, this did
not seem debatable question. Short
hair and bloomers characterized the
feminine champions Of the cause.
Dress was proclaimed as one of the
vanities from which the sex was to
be emancipated. But fifty years have
passed; and now Miss Susan B. An
thony, in her gracious and serene old
age. wears point lace. like any other
woman fortunate enough to possess
it, The leader of a suffrage conven-
ton and those of a whist club could
be shaken up together nowadays, and
no one would know which was which,
Is far as their clothes were concerned.
The advanced woman no longer cuts
her hair short, and the speaker at a
woman's club is often the most dain-
tily gowned woman in the room.
The dress of the future will follow
the conditions of the future woman.
1t is prettier and daintier to-day than
1t ever was, and as long as women con-
tinue pretty and dainty there is little
fear that the graces of costume will
vanish. 1t would be a graver world
If they did. Dress reform always has
= field. But when it is reform
against nature, no one need worry lest
1t should succeed. Dress is safe in
the hands of the women of to-day,
and ought to be safer still in the
hands of the women of tomorrow.
The alarmist has small cause for fear
ON that score.-Harper's Bazar.

WOMEN AS EXPERT MARINERS.

WOMEN AS EXPERT MARINERS.
In some coast villages among the
Danes. Norwegians and Firms women
are employed as sailors and prove
themselves to be expert mariners. In
the smaller sailing ships, where there
is a woman on board, whether she be
the wife of the skipper or the stew.
ardess, she is expected to take her
turn at the ordinary work of the sail
or, not even excluding the duties OF
the man at the wheel or Of the night
watch. Denmark employs several
women as state officials at sea. Ex-
perienced captains assert that the
women make excellent sailors, and
are equal to most seamen in dexterity
and power of endurance.-London

FREsHEN1NG LACE OR MUSLIN.

Spread the lace out on sheet of
paper and brush it carefully with
soft brush, then shake it to free it
from as must dust as possible.
If il is spotted or stained in any
way, rub it gently with sponge dip
ped in cold tea, and then allow the
lace to soak for at least half an hour
in tea prepared in the following man
ner: Put into a small, lined saucepan
one teaspoonful of gum arabic, one
dessertspoonful of dry tea and plat
of boiling water.
Simmer these slowly over the fire.
stirring occasionally until the gum Is
dissolved and then strain into basin.
The gum arabic in the tea will give
slight stiffness to the lace.
If the lace is made of silk, one tea
spoonful of alcohol may be added to
the other ingredients, which will help
20 give the silk gloss. This is also
a good way to stiffen black muslin.
After the lace has been soaked in
the above preparation for the neces-
SdTy Liluci oQuCCIC II SOhtiy NSs"NN"
the hands and then in the folds of a
cloth, or fold it carefully in cloth and
put it through the wringer.
Pull out all the points with the
fingers, roll the lace in a dry cloth.
and let it remain at least an hour be-
fore ironing. When about to iron.
spread sheet of kitchen paper,
smooth side uppermost, on piece OF
double felt or thick ironing blanket;
spread the lace smoothly on top OF
this, and place another piece of pa
per, with the glossy side downward,
on the top.
If the rough side of the paper Is
placed next the lace it will peel or
in small pieces. Iron the lace care
fully on the top of the paper with
cool iron, and, when partly finished.
remove the paper, pull out the points
of lace, aad then iron again with the
paper over.
Never touch the lace with the bare
iron as any glazing would quite spoil
its appearance. When quite dry hang
up the lace to air. The washing and
dressing of lace is certainly a work
which requires time and care; it can
not be hurried over, but it is interest
ing. and nothing better repays for the
time and labor bestowed upon it.

WOMEN AFTER MIDDLE AGE.

After midle age the average woman
begins to care more for women than
she does for men. Her allegiance un.
dergoes a psychic change, her eyes
are opened, her judgment cleared. and
she learns to appreciate her sex fully.
The characteristics that seemed to
her hateful frailities long ago are de
Tended now as their poetic distinc
tions, says The Independent.
She sees in every girl the fair mir.
age of her own youth; in the pathetic,
careworn face of tn eyoung matron
the gentle heroism of other years: in
the mother of grown family her own
queen days when sons and daughters
suddenly grew tall and proclaimed
her. And for them all she has a
chastaned affinity. Men have passed
out of her calculations.
They are the things with whom she
failed or succeeded, from lover and
husband down to her youngest son.
And, however much she remains de-
pendent upon them, she is no longer
related to them in the same way. She
has survived them and returned to
her own.

FOR A REAL FACE WASH.

How many women ever wash their
faces? How many even know how?
For the application of soap and water
does not cleanse the pores of the
skin. 1t only takes off the outside
dirt, and the pores are left just as
they were before the soap and water
were used. To make the skin beauti-
full and fresh, to remove the blem-
ishes, is easily done by really washing
the face. To do this, have supply
of boiling hot water, some icy cold
water, cream for the skin, and two
towels, one soft. Put the soft one in
the hot water, and then spread it over
the face; repeat this, until the skin
feels as if it had been parboiled.
Quickly apply the cream, rub in thor
oughly with the tips of the fingers.
then wipe off the cream and again
apply the hot towel. Without stop
ping a moment place the towel dipped
in the cold water on the face, and do
this until the skin tingles. Dry the
face, and you may be sure that your
face is washed, If it never has been
before. To prevent any chepping.
rub cold cream lightly over the skin
and apply a little powder to keep
away the shine that would follow the
use of the cream. II the face is wash
ed this way two or three times a week
it will always be fresh and young
