MISS HELEN CANNON.
One of the First Ladies of Official
Society at National Capital.
She Often GraciOusly Presides at
War Councils of the Nations
Chiefs.-Democratic i'm Manner and
q Famous Housekeeper.

The distinction of being the best
posted woman in America on politics
and ftatecraft, is generally accorded
to Miss Helen Cannon, daughter of
the Speaker of the u. S. House of Re-
representatives.. Speaker Cannon who
is genial and democratic in manner,
is man of many close friendships, but
no one is SO close to him as his only
unmarried daughter who has presided
over his household since the death of
his wife, many years ago.
Miss Cannon emphatically disproves
the theory that a woman cannot keep
a secret. AS the confidante of the
official, who, next to the President, is
the most powerful man in the United
States, she probably learns more of
what is going on behind the scenes"

School Garden Education.

Every child likes to play in the mud
and dirt, to make sand houses and
caves, mud pies, and even to plant
garden, breaking off the twigs of trees
and pulling weeds, which are carefully
planted and watered, furnishing diver
sion and pleasure for the day. 1t is
an easy matter to direct the youthful
mind a little further along this line
and interest it in real miniature gar
den. 1t is not an untried theory, but
fact, abundantly proven in all the
large and many Of our small cities.
Philadelphia has what are called
Municipal Gardens" Boston has a
dozen School Gardens" Chicago,
Detroit, Washington, Cleveland, Los
Angeles, in fact, almost all cities have
successfully worked out either the
school garden or the vacant lot culti-
walton idea, two separate propositions,
1t is true, but closely allied. The
school garden idea opens up an easy
and agreeable avenue to what proves
more of diversion than task to the
young. New York has only one such
farm garden, but on its one or two
acres, the children plant and raise both

extemporized cook-house they prepare
the vegetables for the table and enjoy
the flavor Of the fruits of their labor.
Besides this instruction in the culinary
art, bedroom in miniature furnishes
an opportunity for the girls to learn
how to care for rooms. In Phila-
delphia the relation of the municipal
gardens and the schools is intimate.
But to see this idea worked out, per-
haps, at its best one must study 1t as
II is in Boston. There, private organ
ization known as the School Garden
Association, for six years or more has
been developing little centers where
the children delight to plant and culti-
vate, furnishing object lessons Of the
utility of such work which It is hoped,
may lead to it's addition to the school
curriculum, and with this idea in
mind these school gardens are located
quite generally on land adjacent to
school-houses, some Of the regular
school teachers gladly acting the part
of instructors. The effect upon the
little workers in these plots is in every
way happy and should lead to their
more general use.

MADE FORTUNE IN WORMS.
Maine Florist Returns to Sweden
After Breeding Bait.

BY far the most popular bait for
all kinds of fishing in Maine are Nv
ing earthworms, which have the odor
of the ground about them and which
seem to be choice tidbits, not only FOR
trout and landlocked salmon, but also
for pickerel, perch, black bass and, in
deed, every species Of food fish that
swimS in fresh water. AS the Maine
soil is deficient in humus and lacking
in decaying vegetable matter, angle
worms are not plentiful.
More than ten years ago Carl Beers,
a florist of Bangor, went into the bust
ness Of rearing earthworms for the
purpose of selling them to the local
fishermen, as well as for shipment to
Boston. He imported breed of dark
purple worms from Belgium, which
were prolific breeders, though
course and strong favored, and later
he secured a box of giant angleworms
from India. In the course of a few
years he was able to supply live
worms by the million to his custom
erS.
Those shipped to Boston were sold
in job lots of rs cents a pound. To
IhS AOluC CuoIOAucIS nS oOlu WOIuuS VI
average size for 10 cents a dozen.
Though his green house was a small
one, and though his trade in flowers
was never extensive, he made money
rapidly from the sale of worms, I'M
til last year, when he retired and
went to his old home in Sweden, a
wealthy man.
Sidney Cook, of Presque Isle, the
inventor of several diving appliances
used by men who work in deep wat
ers, was the next man to attract at
tention as a public benefactor in the
bait line. Mr.. Cook says his inven-
ton was made possible through hav-
ing watched the Indians of Canada
when they sought worms for bait.
All earthworms come to the sur
face at night" said he, "and feed on
the grasses and rotting leaves near
the entrance to their burrows. While
the worms were busy eating, the In
dams of Canada had a habit of drag
ging a blanket with it's under side
smeared with bird lime along the sur
face of the land, thus picking up the
fat worms together with sticks and
Jumps of earth and small pebbles.
After dredging the land for a time
the Indians carried the blanket to the
camp, picked off the worms, and add
ed another coating of bird lime
Though | have been praised very
much for my invention, it is not mine
by rights, as ! gained the idea from
Indians.

URGES EASY SPELLING.
Other WelI.Known Men-Carnegie
Gives Fund to Aid Cause.

Associate Justice David J. Brewer Of
the United States Supreme Court is
deeply interested in the adoption of a
scientific regulation of English SPELL
ing.
Justice Brewer is a member of the
board of which Brander Mathews, of
New York, is chairman. About $50
have agreed to adopt for customary
use in their own personal correspond
ence the following twelve simplified
spellings, heretofore recommended and
used by the National Educational So
ciety, namely, program, catolog, deca-
log, prolog, demagog, pedagog, tho, al
tho. thoro, thorofare, thru and thruout.
In May and June, 1905, many distin-
guished scholars, literary men, and
scientists signed the promise, and now
the committee has been permanently
organized, under the name of the SIM
plified Spelling Board. Funds ade-
quate for the purpose have been given
by Andrew Carnegie, the justice
thinks, to the amount of $4,000, the
income of which is to be devoted to the
interests Of the organization.
Among the members of the board
are e. Benjamin Andrews, chancellor
of the University of Nebraska; David
]. Brewer, associate justice of the SUI
preme Court of the United States;
Nicholas Murray Butler, president of
Columbia University; Andrew Carne-
gle, Samuel L. Clemens mark Twain
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Will

of Yale, Prof James of Harvard, Ben
jamin f. Smith, editor OF the Century
Magazine. w. II. Ward, editor of the
Independent, and Andrew ID. White.

Report of Committee.

This Commission promptly reported
that if any benefit was to be derived
by legislation, immediate action was
necessary and outlined a plan which
it believed would have the desired
effect, providing Canada would unite
with this government in curbing the
greed of promoters and spectators.
The report says, in part: "As step
in that direction we recommend that
legislation be enacted which shall con-
tain the following provisions, viz:
THE Secretary of War to be author
lied to grant permits for the diversion
of 2S,500 cubic feet of water per
second, and no more, from the waters
naturally tributary to Niagara Falls.
All other diversions Of
water which is naturally tributary to
Niagara Falls to be prohibited, ex-
cept such as may be required foi
locks in navigation of canals.
The foregoing prohibition to remain
in force two years, and then to be
come the permanent law of the land,
If, in the meantime the Canadian
government shall have enacted legis-
lation prohibiting the diversion of
water whiCn is naturally tributary to
Niagara Falls in excess of $4,000 cubic
feet per second

Official Feminine Calls.

In the social life of the national cap
ital, Miss Cannon occupies, by virtue
of her fathers position, unique posi-
ton. Possibly not all our readers are
aware of the many unwritten laws that
govern the exchange of calls between
women whose husbands or fathers &C.
cupy prominent positions at Washing
ton For instance, official etiquette
prescribes that the wife of newly
elected Senator or Representative
must make the first call upon the wives
of all those Congressman who are her
husbands seniors in service. Miss
Cannon, however, in accordance
with these same unwritten laws, is not
compelled to make first CALI upon
any ladies in Washington, save the
wife of the President and the wife of
the Vice President All this fuss as to
who shall call first may appear ridicu-
lous to persons who are not brought
in contact with life at our seat of gov
eminent, and possibly Miss Cannon
who is thoroughly democratic may re-

ICEBERG In DELAWARE.
Huge Mountain of Ice TOwed From
Grand Banks of Newfoundland.
The Strenuous Work of a Tugs
Crew-One of the Strangest and
Perhaps the Most Valuable Prize
Ever Taken by a Ship. 80

In order that the city of Philadel-
phia might be rescued from an ice fam
inc powerful ocean-going tug has &C
complished the almost impossible feat
of capturing a huge iceberg, and tow
ing it into port. Never in the worlds
history has this wonderful achieve
ment been duplicated, and contrasted
with it the fascinating exploits re-
counted by the marine historian Sin
bad, the sailor, appear commonplace
and trivial.
With its mountain of ice in tow, the
tug passed up the Delaware River
creating CONSERVATION among the float
ing world on the stream, as observers
could not imagine other than that the
floating mountain was being driven up
the bay by some freak of wind and cur
rent, to the great danger of shipping.
It's approach was responsible for some
frenzied telegraphing, which threw the
shipping interests into panic. Orders
were issued to hold up the sailing of
every vessel due to leave, and mes
sages were dispatched to lower Della
ware station to intercept several out
bound steamers and warn them to seek
anchora ge out of the berg's path

MAMMOTH INCUBATOR.
A Hatching Machine That Does the
Work of One Thousand Setting

The largest incubator in the world,
with a capacity of $4,000 eggs, has
just been completed by w. P. Hall Of
Pembroke, N. Y. 1t is 102 feet long,
and feet 4 inches wide. Partitions
divide it into 100 compartments, each
accommodating two trays. The trays
have wire bottoms, and hold rs eggs
each. To fill this incubator a single
time with common-not thorough
bred-eggs would require an expendi-
ture of $4,000, for eggs Of the requis-
tie freshness would cost forty cents
dozen. AS one hen covers fifteen eggs
for Matching, the incubator does the
work of 1000 fowls, or has the capa-
city of one hen sitting constantly for
nearly ten years.
The incubator is heated by means
of coil of eight steam pipes passing
over the top of the egg chamber on
one side and returning on the other.
These pipes are connected, at one end
of the structure to water tank and
heater. The water flowing through
the pipes is heated to exactly the
right temperature, a thermostat at
tached to the stove opening and clos
ing the drafts to make this possible.
The only attention required by the
heater is supplying it with coal night
and morning. The thermostat is an
expansion tank, 10 by Is inches,
which stands over the heater. The
tank is filled with oil, in which Is a
float. AS the heat of the furnace
warns the water, the water in the
jacket surrounding the heater ex-
pands, and the float in the oil rises.
This movement closes a throttle at
tached to the floatarm, and shuts the
draft of the heater; another lever at
the same time opens the coid-air draft
of the furnace. In this way the tenn
perature Is regulated automatically,
with extremely little variation, the
eggs being kept at 102 degrees F.
A second novel feature is that the
heat of the eggs is regulated by rats
ing or lowering them in the egg cham
Der, which is nearly foot high in
side, burlap separating it from the
pipes. The egg trays rest on double
frames hinged by galvanized arms
or levers. AS the chicks develop, the
trays are lowered on these supports,
the first drop being made in six days,
and others at intervals, until, on the
twenty-frst day, the trays are rest
ing on the bottoms of the chambers.
All infertile eggs are tested out on
the seventh day.
Mr.. Hall built small incubators at
first, but the oil bill for forty of his
small incubators, with 5000 eggs ca
pacity, was $50 for a season, while a
large incubator was run three months
at an expense Of less than SO for
coal.

remedy for the evil which Is beins
done, and one which is not dependent
on Canadian cooperation. This
remedy could be accomplished by New
York State alone, and would be to so
deepen the river channel south of
Goat Island, between that island and
the New York State bank, that the
American Falls would divide with the
Horseshoe whatever water was NOT
diverted from it's natural bed. The
Treaty Of Client places the American
boundary at point well out into the
deep part of the river channel and
affords ample opportunity to make
necessary excavations.

Indians.

The only change I have made is
to go out with light giving forth a
violet color and allowing it to shine
for a few minutes upon the land to
be visited with the smeared blanket.
Most lights brighten earthworms and
drive them underground, which is the
reason why they feed in the dark, but
a light that carries blue or a violet
blue shade seems to soothe the crea-
lures and makes them careless Of
danger.
COR perhaps the worms are hypno-
tiled by the strange glare and cannot
get away. That is the way dash
lamp acts upon deer at night, and |
think a deer should know as much as
an angleworm."

beauty of Niagara Falls little can be
accomplished, and from past eXperi-
ence it seems more than doubtful that
such will be the case. In the matter
of the international boundary and the
seal controversy, Canada certainly did
not show an over friendly spirit and
there is no reason to assume that her
attitude has changed i'm the least, but
ii would seem probable that she will
use all her great influence with the
mother country to defeat any friendly
agreement that might be proposed.
This conclusion Of Canada's probable
attitude is not reached entirely on ac-
count of any unfriendly feeling, but
because of two very important facts:
one of these is the greater width ana
depth Of the channel on the Canadian
side, which would insure a splendid
flow over the Horseshoe Falls after
the American side is entirely dry.
1t is asserted that Ontario Province
now receives from the Commissioners
Of Queen Victoria Niagara Park, II
minimum annual rental of 100000 for
the water rights granted there, and
when the plants for which these
grants were made are in full operation,
the annual rentals to the government
will amount to over 100000.
1t is further asserted that additional
water could be granted by Canada
which would produce an annual rental
Of another 100000, and still not seri-
ously affect the Canadian side OF the
Falls, while the American Falls would
be entirely drained long before this
enormous rental was due.
There would seem, however, to be a

BY joint resolution of the Senate

at an early day, what action was, In
their judgment, necessary and desir-

JOYS of Good Cooking.

Incidentally it may be noted that
Miss Cannon is largely responsible for
so many of these political star cham
Der sessions being held at the Cannon
residence instead of in the Speakers
private office at the Capitol or some
where else. Few readers of this need
be told that the average man sets
great store by good cooking, and the
popularity won by Senator Hanna's
famous "hash breakfasts" goes to
prove that the President and other
high officials of the nation are no ex-
ception to the masculine rule.
Well, just here one has hint as to
the magnet which helps to draw many
men of affairs to the Speakers home
instead of to his Office. Miss Cannon
is a splendid housekeeper, and is an ex-
pert in preparing or experimenting
the preparation of those plain, whole
some dishes which never fail to make
hit with men who are weary of hotel
cooking. In things to eat, as in dress,
Speaker Cannon does not go in for
much in the way of "frills", but no man
who knows what is in store for him
ever declines an invitation to dine at
his house.

MISS HELEN CANNON.

gard it in that light too, but the fact
remains that the enforcement of such
recognition is due the dignity of her
fathers position, and she is too good
a politician not to insist upon the
Speaker of the House enjoying all the
prestige which is due him. Should Mr.
Cannon one day be President of the
United States, as is by no means i'm
possible, his daughter will by reason
of her kindness and democracy, make
an ideal First Lady of the Land.
