The bark rugged yacht Apache, owned by
Edmund Randolph, New York Yacht club,
and the last contestant in the Kaiser cup
trans Atlantic race, finished at 1920 a. m.
June 9TH. Her extraordinary delay wa S

periencins a series of calms on the Banks
of Newfoundland The yachts movements
were so Slow that the crew indulgedsin cod
fishing. subsequently the Apache en-
countered four heavy gales. She was
obliged to heave to for IS hours when off
Cape Race. All on board the Apache are
in go cd health.
The New York Herald says $50 far as
the tracks are concerned, it may be said
that the boats taking the middle passage
did the best. The craft that went too far
north experienced the worst weather and
those that crossed south of the steamer
lanes met the lighteSt and most unfavorable
winds. These extremes are represented,
according to the cabled logs, by the Flpur
de Lys and the Utowana. The Fleur de
Lys, Bath-built craft and the smallest of
the fleet, was the only one to take a north
erly course and encountered icebergs, fogs,
and furious gale. Dr.. Lewis A. StimSon,
her owner, said that for three days the
helmsmen were dashed to the wheel and for
sixty hours huge seas swept over the little
vessel and almost carried three men over
board. They caught hold of the main sheet
just in time and managed to save them
selves. However one man had two ribs
broken. One day current set the Fleur
de Lys back 10 miles. The best days run
was 304 miles. Miss Stimson, the owners
daughter, stood the VOYAGE well.

A sIMpL1FIED MAYoNNA1sE.

The old, laborious drop-by-drop pro-
cess of making mayonnaise dressing
has been superseded, says the Wom-
ans Home Journal, by the method de-
scribed below. It will be boon to
lovers of salad. In bowl mix one
half teaspoonful of salt, dash of pap
rika and the raw yolk of two fresh
eggs; then beat in two tablespoonfuls
each of vinegar and lemon juice; add
about one and one-half cupfuls oil
olive oil, one teaspoonful or more at
a time, beating it in with an egg
beaten. By adding all the acid before
the oil, and using good egg-beater,
the danger of curdling is eliminated.
and the oil can be added in generous
quantities from the start.

SWEETBREADS WITH CREAM
SAJJCE.

Before preparing sweetbreads for
the table they should always be
blanched. Put them in boiling water
and cook slowly for fifteen minutes.
Then throw them into cold water and
remove all the pipe sand aeshy fibre.
When this is done the swectbreads
can be cooked in any way preferred.
For frying, sprinkle them lightly with
salt and pepper, roll them in the
beaten yolk of an egg and then in fine
breadcrumbs and fry in deep fat.
When they are light brown place
them in coarse brown paper that will
absorb the grease for a moment or
two. and then serve them on platter
after pouring some well made cream
sauce over them.

EMERALDS COMING IN FASHION
AGAIN


Emeralds are coming so much into
fashion just now that they are, as a
natural consequence, rapidly rising in
price, and promise to be one of the
favorite and most expensive stones or
the coming season.
The queen owns parure of emer-
aids that is worth a kings ransom;
Princess Charles of Denmark has one
hundred emeralds of large size and
first quality which forms a flexible
waist belt; and stones in the posses
sion of the Duchess of Buccleuch and
Lady Aberdeen are priceless.
The Duchess of Marlborough, who so
seldom wears any jewels but her fam
GUS pearls and diamonds, caused a
mild sensation at Dublin Castle one
night last week by wearing magnifl-
cent ornament of emeralds.
Lady Carew has a fine tiara of
emeralds and she also owns an excep-
tionally splendid stone which was pre-
sented to her by the Shah of Persia.
Mrs. William James has trellis work
collar of emeralds and diamonds,
while Lady Carnavon, Lady Ludlow.
Mrs. Ronald Greville and Mrs. Arthur
Paget al have small fortunes wrapped
up in these green gems.
Square emeralds are a current
craze. Mrs. George Keppel has a
priceless square emerald, which she
wears as pendant on slender
chain.

SOME THINGS THAT COUNT.

Small belongings of dress often
make or mar woman's appearance,
therefore it is well that she should
keep an eye on the little fads and
fancies of fashion.
Gloves this season will match the
costume. At least they will correspond
with it's shade. Some of the newest
have little turned back cuffs of con-
trasting color, and many of the long
suede gloves are heavily embroidered.
Embroidered silk gloves are shown in
elbow length to meet the short sleeves
of the new waists.
For neck trimming there is a wide
choice of collars and ribbons. Lace
which has seen service on old gowns
can be pressed into service for smart
stocks if applied on net or on wide
heavy lace insertion. Lace motifs,
too, can be ripped from discarded
blouses and similarly utilized.
A new French fad is the wearing
of black velvet bands around the
throat. These of course are intend
ed for use with "V' necked blouses.
The velvet band is sometimes tied a
little to the right of the front with
loop ends allowed to drop almost to
the waist.
Bead necklaces are being much
worn in Paris at present. These may
be strung together at home, using a
small crystal bead between each two
of the plain ones. Quite large beads
are the fad and short chains of gradu
ated beads are also liked. A pretty
chain for young girl is made by
sstringing roses Of chiffon together at
intervals on silk cord. These are
dainty adjuncts to an organdie or
muslin frock.-Washingt Times.

Wrong.

There is a prevailing idea in some quarters
that the Catoctin Furnace property (Blue
Mountain Iron and Steel Coz will, after a
sale has been made, have cloud on its title
by virtue OF the fact of the $500, 900
Bond Issue, and that prospective purchasers
will be precluded from making favorable
bid on this account. Any one making such
statement does something that is entirely
without warrant or authority, for the prop
erty will be sold absolutely clear and dis
charged of all liens of any and every kind,
and the trustees are now trying to perfect an
arrangement by which the claims of the
annuitants will be provided for in way
that no further lien will attach even from
that source.
This property should attract capitalists
for there is in our opinion great wealth OF
iron ore in this property, and even though
it may be possible that furnace may never
run there, the ore being Of such high
quality, and situated so favorably for ship
ping purposes, 1t does seem that money
ought to be made from its mining and ship
mcut alone. We trust some one will get it
that will have enough money to run 1t prop
erly.
1t has had a very checkered career, and it
is deserving of better things now.
