of inducing the younger children to take to the tub without creating the impression in the minds of the neigh bors that the chldren's society should interfere has been solved.
 The youngest child q boy of four, yelled vigorously whenever he was put into the tub. The nurse was about to give notice when tie head of the house brought home a package one evening"
 At the hours of the bath he produced d number of celluloid toys, q couple of torpedo boats, swan, an Indian canoe and two other objects, and the youn9ster was permitted to play with them in the tub. Now he submits to the usual soaping and scrubbing with out whinper, and as reward is permitted to sit in the tub and sail the boats for ten minutes after the busi- ness part of the bath has been conclud- ed
 The toys are given to him at 10 other time Now the bathing hour is the luietest of the day Exchange.

Gas Range Saucepans.

The trcornered saucepans, three of which just fit over the gas burner, are much sought after. Each one holds six pints, and the three use no more gas than does a single saucepan. One of the most popular sets is the combina- tion cereal, custard and poached egg cooker. The big bottom pan is fitted with all inside rim that will support either the pan for the cereal or the rack to hold the custard or the poached egg reeeptacles. There are half dozen egg cups and the same number of GUS tard cups. The resourceful housewife finds many uses for the small cups ill this day of ramellins and molds.-NeW York Globe.

Old Furniture.

Pieces of furniture that are unaesir- able i'll design, finish or covering and vet cannot be discarded from motives of economy may be entirely hidden and rendered quite attractive by slip covers of pretty material. Cretonne of good color and design is good, print ed linen in a tapestry pattern and col bring makes d very pleasing cover and linen taffeta while higher priced than either of the other two in lowered designs or self toned stripes or figures is so attractive for either summer or winter that it well repays the addition al cost.

Mustard.

Delicious mustard is made by first slicing an onion in bowl and covering it with vinegar. Let this stand forty eight hours, when pour off the vinegar into another bowl add little red pep per, salt, sugar and enough dry mus tard to thicken to cream. The pro- portions should be teaspoonful of the pepper and salt and twice that of sugar, but tastes differ somewhat as to the quantity of sweet used.-New York Post.

Don't Bother the Maid.

One thing the young mistress man. aging one or more servants for the first time needs to understand is that the maid docs not like to be interfered with Tie woman who does the cook ing and kitchen work likes to be told exactly what she is to do and then permitted to go ahead and do it. It naudicapS her work and ruttieS her temper to have the mistress change her mind q dozen times, revoke her orders and constantly run out into the kitchen to make new sugges- tious, nor does she like to have her duties doled out to her in small DOT tions, like child's tasks. Unless she knows her work ill it's entirety she can not plan it with system. as a compe
 tent maid wishes to do, so if you are a young housewife, just beginning, have your own plans well defined, give them
 rlearly ill the morning. then do not change them nor "fiuster" your maid by interfering. but simply see that she understands your directions and fol lows them out to the best of her ability.

Old Felt Hats.

Old felt hats may be utilized very successfully in polishing furniture or vanished floors. To make a polisher get soft, worn, long handled brush, make good thick pad of odd pieces of Woolen material and cover with an old felt hat. Nail this, or, better still, tie on with stout cord to the handle of the brush. With tbis one can polish stuin- ed boards with little trouble.

Dried Fruits.

Soak all evaporated fruits over night, but only in water to cover. Too much makes them watery. All such fruits are the better for being first placed in cold water to cover for couple of hours, then well scrubbed with one of the small brushes that come for that purpose and cost cents before plac- are to remain all night.

BELIEVE FRESHMAN
WAS SHANGHA|ED.

When the British ship, fairfield sailed
out through the Golden Gate on the
morning of June 10 she carried as
sailor before the mast Thomas Van
TasseIl a pressman of San Francisco.
Van Tassells brothers and sister be-
lieve that he was shanghaied on board
this vessel by a gang of hired water
front thugs They say he never sailed
he had no intention OF giving up his
trade of pressman. They will wait
anxiously until the vessel reaches Lon
don.
Thomas Van Tassell is about 40 years
old. He had been a pressman on one
of the morning papers for twenty one
years. He was man of good habits
He often wandered about the water
front and had many acquaintances
there.
Last Friday George Van Tassell, a
brother Of the missing man, was told
by water front frequenter that Thorn
as had been carried on board the Hart
field while intoxicated This was the
first news of the man and subsequent
inquiries seem to prove that such was
the case. Alexander Van Tassell, an
other brother. a Southern Pacific gate
man al San Mateo, is in San Francisco
gathering proofs of the felony He will
present this evidence to the British
Consul.

CHARITY MAY GET
SAGE MILLIONS.
Will of Aged Financier
Said to Contain Many
Surprises for Public
CALM IN MARKET
SPECIAL DISPATCH 10 THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
NEW YORK, July 23.-Probably no
man was in such close touch with Rus
sell Sage and possessed a more COM
prehensive insight into the working OF
the venerable millionaire's mind than
Henry Clews, the well-known WALL
street banker
You may quote me as saying that
many persons will be extremely sur
prised when Mr.. Sages win is read
said Clews today. -'It will surprise
those who believe that he intended to
give most of his fortune to his family
and kinsfolk
Ultimately the bulk of Mr.. Sage's
money will be disposed, I think, in
channels where 1t will do the most
good This may not be until after the
demise OF Mrs. Sage, who is a noble,
good woman, and exercised wonder
full influence over Mr.. Sage.
you may be sure that Mrs. Sage was
his counselor when the will was
drawn. Mr.. Sage had the utmost
faith in her Judgment.
IT had a number of talks with Mr..
Sage which lead me to believe that
when the will becomes public it will be
shown that substantially all of his
fortune will go for charitable pur-
poses. / should estimate that Mr..
Sages fortune will run between $751;
100000 and s100,000,000. Nine-tenths
OF this is in gilt-edge securities.
A year ago Mr.. Sage said to friend
Everybody will be very much sur
prised to learn what / have done with
my money, but they will never learn
until 1 am dead"
The funeral of Russell Sage Will be
held in the First Presbyterian Church
at Far Rockaway. of which Rev. Rob
ert G. Leitch is pastor, tomorrow at
ternoon at 4 O'Clock. The. burial will
be at Oakland Cemetery, Troy. Mr.
Sage was for a long time member OF
the West Side Presbyterian Church OF
this city.
The following has been selected as
pallbearers at the funeral: William
P. Dixon of Cedarhurst, Ebert A
Brinckerhoff of Far Rockaway, George
C. Rand OF Lawrence, Newbold L. Law
renee of Lawrence, Albro ]. Newton OF
Far Rockaway, J. L. Lawrence of Law
renee. Franklin B. Lord of Lawrence
and DR.. J. Carl Schmuck.
Financial disturbances which might
possibly follow the removal from life
of so important a factor in the great
affairs of business have long been dis
counted and every contract Mr.. Sage
has made In the lending of money in
the last two years has, it is said, con-
tanned a clause stating that in the
event of his death no payments OF
moneys lent should then be demanded
Oh that account. Fer his death, as in his
life. Russell Sage had provided against
possible contingency which might in
juriously affect the enterprises In
which he was so active.

ALCOHOL IN GENERAL USE
AS FUEL IN KAISER'S LAND
Industry Ultimately May Rival Beet
Sugar In Agricultural
Value.

BERLIN. July 23.-The commission
composed of John w. Yerkes. 1. r. Hit
Jr. and C. A. Champion of the United
States Internal Revenue, appointed to
Investigate the denaturization of alco-
hol, has arrived here to study the Ger
man alcohol fuel and lighting indus
tly.
Alcohol for these purposes sells at
wholesale today at about 20 cents a
gallon and probably more Is used here
than in any other country for cooking,
illumination and manufacturing. The
industry Is building up and may rival
beet sugar in agricultural value. 1t is
a common sight in this country to see
a tall chimney belonging to a farm
distillery where crop of potatoes is
turned into alcohol, the mash being
used for feeding cattle and hogs.
The Emperor offered several prizes
for the best alcohol burning machines,
especially automobiles for army trans
port. His Majesty once astonished
King Edward and a house party at
Sandringham by experimenting per-
sonally demonstration of an alcohol
burning cooking apparatus.
