There had been hot work before. but
nothing equal to this. The Russians
had mounted new batteries near the

had set up new searchlights. As the

Into this brilliant light the blockad-

all about her as she steamed on, and
shells whistled over her. plunged into
the water on all sides, or crashed into
her hull or through her rigging. But
luck was hers, and no shot struck vi

the channel, her men working the gun

fired.
The Russians had built heavy boom

The searchlights played over the water

prominence. The Wednesday matinee
there was the trying out" perform

were given an opportunity to appear

they proved to be. in the theatrical
parlance of to-day. the worst ever"
They could scarcely dance at all, and
there was not the slightest hint of APP

church congregation. Naturally the
Colonel was indignant and Mrs. Hav-
erly was deeply mortified.
At the end of the performance the
young dancers went to the Coloners
office.
"Well. boys" said he. trying not to
be harsh, you did your turn. You had

"Why. Colonel, we simply had them

BoTTLING PORT ARTHUR.

When the first brief press dispatches
told Of the Japanese attempts to block
the Russian fleet in Port Arthur as
Lieutenant Hobson tried to bottle up
the Spaniards in Santiago, all the
world thrilled with the story of the
heroism of the little men who handled
the ships. Almost incredible. however.
is the circumstantial account of the
third and successful venture, as told
in the Century Magazine.
Nine steamers had been prepared
for the operation, each loaded with ce-
ment, which would harden when the
vessel sank and become solid rock.
Each vessel was armed with ma
chine gun TO keep the crew employed
during the terrible time when they
would be under fire. A fleet of gun
boats and destroyers conveyed the
vessels to clear the way, and If posi-
Bile pick up the survivors.
A gale sprang up as they started,
and soon heavy sea was running.
The ships became separated. and the
commander set the signal to turn back,
intending to wait for quiet aight.
But the Japanese Nelson's failed TO
see" the signal. and each ship held its
course. The first to arrive found the
destroyers already fighting with the

BARLEY WATER.

Half a teacupful of the best pearl
barley, wash and soak 1t, and put it to
boil In quart of water. Let 1t boil
half an hour. then strain, and put 1t
on to boil again with the same guam
tity of fresh water. Let 1t boil slowly
until the barley is quite soft. While
it is cooking peel good-sized lemon
very thin, put the peel into mug or
basin, pour boiling water on it, and
cover 1t closely. When the barley IL
sufficiently boiled, strain 1t. and to
the liquor add the water in which the
lemon peel was STEPPED. the strained
juice of the lemon. and sufficient cas-
ter sugar to sweeten it to taste. An
other way: put two tablespoonfuls OF
the best pearl barley. well washed,
into jug with boiling water. and stir
for two minutes. Fold cloth several
times thick, cover the jug. and let 1t
stand till cold. 1t can be favored with
lemon peel and juice or cinnamon.

Cranberries boiled with apples. then
equal parts of sugar make a table

Fly specks and other dirt can be
satisfactorily removed from gilt
frames by going over them with the
white of an egg on soft brush or
cloth.
An ounce of alum stirred into hot
milk wakes fine bath for parts af-

which form when the mixture gets
cold make an excellent poultice to put
upon the parts over night.
White spots can be removed from
furniture by the application of kero-
sene, then alcohol and lastly olive oil.
A good rubbing is necessary when the
oil is applied. Furniture rubbed with
polish made of equal parts of vine
gar, turpentine and olive oil will shine
anew and keep its fresh. cleanly look
for some time.

FRIED CELERY.

If one decides to serve fresh celery
at the end OF the dinner. with crackers
and cheese, 1t is not amlss to have 1t

following recipe is an Italian one:
Scrape and wash the stalks and cut
them into pieces about four inches
long. Cook them until tender in boil
ing water, to which is added a little
salt. Drain them and set aside until
they are cold. Dip each piece into tee
yolk of an egg. which You have beaten
up with n tablespoonful OF cold water,

to n light brown. Put In a hot dish.
sprinkle with grated cheese, and let
it stand in the oven for two minutes
before serving. If you wish, you can
make the vegetable richer by the adj
ditlon Of cupful of tomato sauce.
