Letting that pass, however, all who have In any de- gree kept up with modern methods of warfare are aware of the fact that the heaviest and most Costly warship that can be mahufactursd is almost as completely at the mercy of torpedocs and submarine mines As auy old tub is. In other words, vessel build accord ing to the best plans of modern ship builders. costing four or i've millions of dollars or more. is about as likely to so down from contact with a torpedo as a superannuated whaler is The size and strength of a vessel. as pointed out by Mr. Stokes and MT.

ANTIQUE English Furniture.

1t is still quite IL common experience
to find fine and even valuable speci-
mems Of old English furniture. chiefly
made out Of oak, in the cottages of the
village folk. These pieces of furniture
have been handed down from genera
ton to generation of rural folk, such
as carriers, keepers, woodmen and shep-
herds. How did the family originally
come by them? The explanation Is
this in many cases.: Generations ago,
when the furniture, which is once again
priced greatly, began to go out of fash
lon and to be superseded by stuff which
we view with contempt nowadays, 1t
was sold, and farmers bought much Of
1t. But by and by the farmer, being
prosperous and desiring to be in the
fashion. too. like his landlord, bought
in its place more modern chairs and
furnishings. Then the village folk
bought for a song the despised oak fur
niture, and now once again the old
pieces have come into favor and are
finding their way back from the cot
tage to the hall.

rommy'. Firm Resolve.

Tommy's disinclination to go to bed
Mt night is only exceeded by his re-

regular daily routine includes driving
him to bed at 8 p. m. and dragging

no attractions for him until it actually
infolds him in it's paralyzing embrace.
and then he sticks to the bed like a
wood tick to a woodchuck.
The other morning. after his mother
had called him seven times and finally
induced him to arise by firmly grasp
ing his left ear between the thumb

SHINY PISTOLS FOR POLICE.
Why a Kansas Captain Would Have

pistol with a blue steel barrel. l would
see that every officers weapon was
nickel plated and was kept just as
bright and shiny as it could be made.
Why would l have only shiny pistols?
Why. for the moral suasion they convey.
There is something terror inspiring
about the CLINT of light or a highly pol
ished pistol barrel that is entirely miss

barrel.
"Many Il criminal resists when placed

Hygienic Bedroom Hints.
Every bedroom should be provided
with the essentials for healthful sleep
and the daily sponge bath.
As nearly as possible the room should
be kept free from anything that would
tend to contaminate the air.
1t should be as large as n al at.
ford, and the windows so arranged that
they may be opened at the top and bot.
tom.
II possible the floors should be bare
and the rugs so small that they can be
taken out of doors with ease for clean
ing and airing.
Everything about the room should be
washable.
The bed should be light and fitted
with strong casters, SO that 1t may be
readily moved.
Many people prefer a cheap. hard

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Making and Keeping SOUP Stock.
Invariably the housewife who has .
reputation for fine soups Is the q
who supervises the food left from each
meal and sees that no bone, unless
burned in the broiling; no scrap of
meat, not the least bit of vegetables,
is wasted. All these she uses in her
soup kettle. This indeed is the French
woman's secret, and she helps 1t out
with judicfous seasonings. For the pur-
pose a piece of the shin of beef, with
the bone which contains the marrow;
a knuckle OF veal for additional gela-
tin and the cold meat and bones which
have been saved should soak in cold
water for half an hour or 30 nnd then
be brought very slowly to Il simmer.
When the meat is cooked to shreds and
the knuckles fall apart it Is time to re-
move the kettle. Many persons season
the stock while 1t Is cooking, but this
practice has it's disadvantages. In the
first place, vegetable juices will u
1t to sour much more readily; besides,
once it has been seasoned 1t is impos-
sible to vary 1t SO decidedly. Then, too,
in the daily scalding Of the stock.
which is necessary If the fat is re-
moved from the top, much of the flavor
is lost in steam. 1t is an excellent plan
to fill stone crooks. each holding
enough for one days supply, to let the
cake of grease form upon them and
when they are entirely cold to cover
them and place them in the refrigera-
tor. Undisturbed and in u cool place
the stock will keep for two weeks.

John L. Donohue. an antiquarian OF
Rockland, Me-. is exhibiting to his
friends a historical object Of much in-
terest in the form of the portmanteau
presented to General Knox of Thomas
ton by George Washington, whose Sec

with straps, through buckles. In this
General Knox was wont to carry part
Of the pay of the Continental army on

This was the rather startling statement
made by William Il. Hammer. the cleo
trical expert OF New York. in Il lecture
in Brookline, Il Boston suburb. the 9TH
er night. says the New York Journal.
Mr.. Hammers lecture was fully H.
Illustrated by experiments, and the audi
ence saw more radium than any other
person in the United States possesses.
The idea of such heroic treatment for
cancer as he suggested startled his au-
ditors.
He said radium is likely to teach
more about the constitution Of matter
and the correlation Of the vital physical
forces than anything which has been
discovered since the beginning Of the
world.

A SCOTTISH EQuEsTRlENNE
Lady Constance McKen.ie's Horse
manship ON a Texas Ranch.

Lady Constance McKenzie's Horse-
naanship ON q Texas Ranch.
Lady Constance Mckenzie of Scot
land, a famous swimmer and athlete,
recently arrived at Alice. Nueces coun-
ty, Tex, with several trunks filled
with hunting paraphernalia with the
intention of engaging in u hunt for
peccos (Mexican wild hogs,. says a
Houston dispatch. Mrs. III. Nj. King. a
wealthy ranchwoman. who owns 1000.
600 acres near Santa Gertrudes. tele-
phoned her an invitation to join her at
Corpus Christi pending the completion
of plans for the boar hunt.
Lady Constance was for several days
on the ranch owned by Sam Lazarus.
near Abilene, Tex. There she surprised
the cowboys by her skill with the horse
and rifle.
Lady Constance weighs $50 pounds
and is twenty-one years old. She is a
brunette, with a wealth of hair. She
dressed in kits while IN the ranch and
often appeared in a sweater, with a
handkerchief around her neck and a
belt stocked with pistols. She wore
high top boots and a felt hat with a
broad brim. She soon demonstrated
that she was a magnificent shot and an
excellent horsewoman.
While on the ranch Lady Constance
was treated to an improvised "round.
up She headed the cowboys, and all
HE'D themselves over the plains to the
pastures, where there were 1000 head
Of graded cattle. About 100 were ''cut
out" by Lady Constance and the COW
boys. and the Scotch countess soon
roped her pick of the lot and threw
him. She could not hog tie" him. how
ever.
When the party returned to the ranch,
Lady Constance delighted the crowd
by an exhibition of mounting and dis
mounting. She would stand on. the
ground and with her left hand or the
pommel of the saddle vault into the
seat and at times would throw herself
clear over the horse and saddle.
In addition to a wolf hunt and fish
ing trip Lady Constance found much
amusement at the country balls. Dress
ed in kits and mounted astride a mus
tang. she attended a function at the
Elks' hall in Abilene. She attracted
much attention and appeared to enjoy
the dance as INDUCED in by the cattle
men. &
