Hull concerning the firing by the
Russians upon the English fisher
men.
The clocks on the fishing trawlers
are set an hour faster than Green
witch time in order that the catch of
fish may be delivered to the receiv-
ing boat and reach the Hall market

The witness was asked what the
fishermen would gain if they knew

The manager answered that it

An Impatient Speech of a Quaker City

An Impatient Speech Of Quaker City
Sohoolteaeher.
Good humor was restored to a
schoolroom in one of the public
schools Of the city the other day by
an impatient speech of the teacher,
says the Philadelphia Press.
The young woman who had
charge of the class had become ex-
asperated to the last degree by the
mischievous tricks of some of the
boys. She was at the point where
Mysteries were to be safely predicted
if some relief did not come.
She looked up from her book and
saw one Of the largest girls in the
class crouched in an ungainly atti-
tude over her desk. Her feet were
stretched over into the aisle, and,
worst Of all, she was chewing gum.
1t was the last straw. The teacher
sprang to her feet and snapped out;
"Maria, sit up! Take that gum
out of your mouth and put your feet
inw The shout of laughter from
the pupils cleared the atmosphere,
and the rest of the session was one
of the pleasantest of the term.

How California University Students
Laid "A Cement sc" on "A Hill.
Action which in the opinion Of the
university men is destined to be his

sophomores of the University of Cali
fornla at Berkeley the other morning
when nearly 200 Of them toiled for four
hours in a drizzle Of rain to lay in ce-
ment the big "C' on Charter hill, says
q dispatch from Berkeley, Cal
For a fortnight college men, profess
ors and others, argued the propriety Of
fixing the gigantic symbol on the hill
back Of Berkeley, but the faculty opin-
ion, adverse to the project, did not de-
ter the youths from carrying out their
original plan. A few conservative mem
bers of the two classes proposed wait
Ing until the next week to build the big
&C." preferring that the undertaking
should be conducted while the skies
were clear and the sl~ shining, but
this proposal was rejected by the hardy
spirits.
These men gathered at O'clock IN
the morning at the foot Of Charter hill
and were divided into gangs under the
direction of bosses.
Some Of the toilers wore rubber
coats, but these were found to inter-
fere with the work. so they were cast
aside. and the students csrried cement
up the hill in sacks, while the rain wet
them to the skin. At n point 500 feet
above the level the cement was mixed
and from there was wheeled in bar
rows to the spot marked out for the
construction Of the letter.
The big &C" IS fifty feet long and
forty feet wide It Is so large that pas
sengcrs on incoming steamers can see
It from the bay. while It will be visible
to every one in the neighborhood Of

Directions For Making a Good, Hard
Laundry Soap.

Laundry soap.
To make hard soap add to three
pounds of washing soda pound and
half of unslaked lime and two gal
Ions of boiling water. Let it stand
until perfectly clear, then drain and
add three pounds of good, clean fat.
Put over the fire and boil until the
mixture hardens, which will be in
the course Of two OF two and half
hours. But watch and stir most of
the time. After the mixture has
boiled half the time add one gallon
of cold water which was poured on
the sediment remaining after the
two gallons of water were drained
off. just before taking from the fire
add a small handful Of salt. Wet a
small tub to prevent sticking, turn
in the soap and let it stand until
solid. Cut into cakes and put on
shelf to dry.

Stretch the rug smoothly on the

and rub dry fuller's earth into it
