TROUBLE OVER MAGAZINES.
Those on the Minnesota and the
Louisiana Oyerheated by Steam

IpcSs
Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, Sept. 17.-Overheated
magazines on the battleships Mime
sofa and Louisiana are giving concern
to officers of the different bureaus
which have to deal with the problems
of the internal arrangements of naval
vessels. These magazines are over
heated by the pipes which conduct
steam from the boilers to the steering
engine. The pipes are covered with
non-conductible material, but even SO
they make the compartments too warm
for ammunition, which must be stored
In them to make the ships complete
fighting machines.
To remedy the present condition,
the steam pipes will have to be carried
through different parts of the ship
from the magazines, or air spaces will
have to be constructed between the
pipes and magazine chambers. These
changes can be made at any time and
will not necessarily interfere with the
use of the Louisiana to take the presi-
dent to Panama

The Other Side.

When the home woman grows
weary of what sometimes seems "the
trivial round Of common tasks,' she
will often turn her eyes toward the
business world and make invidious
comparisons between her own quiet.
colorless life and that of the business
woman, the newspaper woman, or
some other worker in the outside
world.
But while Homework is sometimes
hard and monOtOnOus, it certainly is
more elastic than almost any other
Womanly occupation. If the home
woman is invited to go for a ride on
ironing day she can go with a clear
conscience, knowing that she is her
own mistress and that the ironing can
wait until tomorrow. She can stop
her work for a few moments visit
with friend with no fear that her
employer will cut her wages or cen
sure her for negligence; her time is
her own and she may plan her work
as seems best and most convenient
for the enjoyment of the little every
day happenings of life. But not so
with the business woman.
If there is one woman who takes
no stock in the hue and cry against
the narrow environments of human
life, it is the woman who has entered

Scents by Disti11ation.

To extract the scent of flowers by
stillatory is not hard, as thou may

In the good old Middle Ages every
lady had her still-room Thou canst
buy small still from any ironmonger
or canst make one. Take a tin jar,
holding gallon or more, and in it's
wide mouth fit great cork, through
which thou shalt fit tightly one end
of pure tin tube of half an inch
thickness and some five feet of length
The other end of thy tube shall pass
loosely through the cork of glass
jar to- hold the perfume. This jar
shall stand in a dish of cold water
having around it a knitted or a han-
mel jacket to suck up the water and
so to keep it cool.
Put in thy tin jar an inch deep of
fine, clean pebble stones, to keep the
flowers from touching the bottom,
then press into it for every gallon of
it's capacity some two or three pounds
of blossoms, free from stems and
green, and thereafter pour in boiling
water to nearly fill the jar. Stand it
over fire or lamp that shall keep it
boiling steadily, but not too vigorous
ly, cork it well, and keep thy re
ceiver's jacket cool, and soon the
steam from the tin shall become

one-half the quantity of water put in

BILE pink tea compared to many other
spheres of woman's work.
The literary worker knows that
newspapers and magazines go to
press on certain hours, regardless of
the state of the weather or the moods
of humanity. No physical or mental
Discrimination, no conflicting duty or
social allurement must ever interfere
with a work that is as memorable as
fate. The stenographer must be at
her post at certain hour, and must
take dictation for long, weary hours,
with no relief from the steady work
or the ceaseless click of the typewrit-
er. No occasional drive or enlivening
chat with a friend during business
hours
THE educator will tell you that
nearly every hour of her day is given
to hard and wearing work. She
must delve and study to keep up-to-
date along all lines of her work, and
look over innumerable papers while
the home woman is enjoying the even

1t is said that women who have
been forced to go out into the world
and fend for themselves make the
most contented housewives, and that
a few years of business life is pretty
