Every night crowds of we'll dressed
women are seen running up and

wildly into the air and uttering at

not know, but which they say is
spoken somewhere on earth by a
voice which they constantly hear.
Led by a man named Ryan and a
negro evangelist. converts testify in
Indian tongues, of whicht hey had
never meard before. They are able
to converse and apparently under
stand each other during their spells
of frenzy.
There is a confusion even in the
name of the new sect. In a paper
published in Los Angeles they do not
mention a name by which they wish
themselves to be described. II asked

ter than the early New England

of the south From the brick ovens
were drawn sweet favored rye and

Brown bread baked as it used to

bake bread in a tin pan in range

baked in this way will be very good.
The greatest mistake in using

cooking: 1t must have thorough and

qualities, and when offered in this

from the raw taste which they had

One day II was noticed that the

then staying at the imperial villa at
Corfu, became impressed with the
idea that the only way to restore
their lost radiance would be to lay
them in the sea for period OF =

placed in box provided with holes

one dark night her majesty, accom-.

Serving and Cooking.

1t is undeniable that people are
too dependent on the wheat crop
and -four spectators and look too
much on white bread as a staple ar
ticle. They overlook the value of
other cereals and the nutritious,
healthful food made from them. The
value of corn, rye and oat bread as
food depends very largely on the
skill shown in cooking, and none
understand how to use cornmeal bet

which she, with other sturdy women
has been instrumental in making.
Married at an early age, she was
forced to return to her fathers home
for support. but with the ndomitable
spirit of the times she determined to
become self-supporting, and by
burning the midnight oil soon ac-
quired sufficient education to teach
school. She kept up her studies, to-
gether with her teaching, until she
had saved sufficient funds to take a
course in medicine at an eastern col
lege. After graduating with honors
she returned to Oregon to practice,
and after recuperating her finances
again went east for a postgraduate
course and a tour of Europe. Since
then her life has been devoted to the
practice of her beloved profession.

How to Clean Globes.

An excellent way to clean obscure
gas globes is to wash them with
soap and warm water in which lit
tie salts of lemon has been mixed.
The great difficulty in the way of
getting the ground portion of the
globe to look white is the grease
which sets closely in the roughness,
and which does not seem to be
thoroughly removed by soap and
water alone, or even with the help
of soda.
After the globes have been care
fully washed in the manner recon-
mended, do not dry them with a
cloth. but, after letting the tap run
upon them for while, place them
in some place where the water can
drain of.
1t is an advantage to let them
stand in little sawdust or a wooden
cloth. as the water which runs
down will be soaked up as it flows
and the globes will dry more quickly.

Household Suggestions.
A strong solution of salt water
cleans mating and makes it lool,

In laying mating place one or
two thickhesses of old newspaper
under it.
Mating always let's dust and dirt
through it like sieve, and when it
has to be taken up the pieces of
dust-covered paper can be carefully
lifted and burned up, which is the
sanitary method of disposing of
them.
Walnut, rosewood and mahogany
should be polished every day with a
soft buster.
1t will then require little addi-
tional attention at cleaning time.
If. however, it looks dull or
greasy, it should be carefully wiped
with flannel cloth wrung as dry as
possible from warm soap suds,
dried thoroughly with a linen dus-
ter, and polished with turpentfne
and wax.
For shabby leather chairs boil half
a pound Of linseed oil and when
quite cold stir in half pint of vine
gar.
Mix this thoroughly and bottle
for future use.
When required, shake the bottle
well, pour little on a soft flannel,
and rub thoroughly into the leather.
Turn the flannel when it gets
soiled and polish the leather with
soft busters.
Linoleum may be frightened with
a little glue water. Melt little or
binary glue in water; apply it with
a flannel cloth.
The linoleum should be clean and
dry before rubbing it with the glue
water.

The PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message urg-
ing Congress to pass legislation
for the control of the insurance
business is but the expression of
idea which he has advanced
in previous public statements and
papers. The President believes
in a paternal government and in
the absolute subscribing of the
powers Of the State to the pow
erS of the Federal Government;
at least, this is to be inferred
from his habit of calling upon
Congress to legislate upon mat
tiers heretofore regarded as with
in the jurisdiction of the State or
within the rights of the individ-
ual. Whenever any evil or
weakness appears to his vision he
prescribes Federal supervision or
regulation as the remedy. This
apparently is his panaces. De-
mand for Federal control of the
insurance business, therefore, is
right in his line.
The cry for Federal interposi-
ton as a preventive of further
insurance scandals has been heard
often within the walls of Con-
gress during the present session.
Especially has it sounded in the
Senate, where abides Senator
Dryden, a deeply interested in
surance president. The Supreme
Court has more than once decided
that insurance is not interstate
commerce and the Judiciary
Committee of the House only a
few weeks ago prepared an ex-
haustive report denying the au-
thority Of Congress to go into the
business. These circumstances,
however, seem not to have dis
couraged either the President or
the other advocates of the idea,
and so the President sends in his
message and, doubtless, tn e
others will take up the subject
W t h renewed earnestness.

and the army suffered in conse.

and the army suffered in conse-
quence.
The late commander-in-chief
ends with a recommendation that
the merit system be made univer-
sal in the army and that the road
to commissioned rank be open to
any man who has the ability to
discharge the duties without re-
gard to his social position.
Perhaps after all the American
system is the best Of any. In
times of peace our army is officer
ed, except for a very few from
civil life, entirely by West Point
ers. These young men are chos-
en- from every section of the
country, are required to pass rig
i'd entrance examinations and Sc
cure their appointments largely
for merit. Thus the army is con-
stantly trained by educated Of
ficers.
At the time of a great war,
however, such as the contest be-
tween the States, the bars are
let down. Any private soldier
can aspire to the highest rank.
Hundreds and thousands of the
officers who did the best work
on both sides in that contest en-
listed as private soldiers and Sc
cured commissions by merit on
the field.
This is naturally much easier
in time of war. In times of peace
ambitious and intelligent men are
slow to enlist in the ranks, but
during the excitement of war the
ranks are frequently filed with
men nearly equal to their officers
in point Of intelligence.
In any event it will be interest
ing to notice if the Russian au-
tocracy will be guided by the re-
concentrations of the defeated
commander-in-chief and establish
a new system Of appointing army
officers, whether copied after the
American system or not. Louis

Don't say am my son, he
said, SAY 'am.
I did say 'am,' the lad pro-
tested, in an injured tone.
You said am cried the
father, fiercely. ANS what
