Commander Peary's discovery that
the Roosevelt's boilers are faulty is re-
grettable. Could the ship have been
tested more frequently than was possible
before the start the defect might have
been remedied. 1t would cause a great

could have had it with the aid of a
b0ilermaker.

burg, has again isued an edct, forbid
ding priests within his diocese to use
bicycles. He is sharply criticised there

useful, especially those who have to visit
members of their congregation in remote
country places.

as Miss Gordon was qualified to vote at
municipal and school elections when the
question of bonds is voted on, she was
eligible to election for a city office.
Queen Alexandra's laces, linens and
silks are perfumed in a simple and de-
lightful manner, says Home Notes. The
drawers in which they are kept are
lined with white papers, strewn with
rose leaves. A layer of the fabrics to
be scented is placed over this with more
rose petals sprinkled upon it and so on
until the drawer is filled. The result is
a delicate perfume, obtained by an in
expensive method, which any woman
can copy.

the Swedish-Norwegia union.
