CASE OF RULING PASSION.
Hospital Nurses Finally Found Out
Why the Pretty Girl Had to
Have Blue Ribbon.

She was the prettiest patient that
they had had at the Polytechnic in a
long time. And she knew it, too. Her
kimono was an exquisite creation of its
kind. Aestheticism seemed to rise up
IN revolt against cruel operation
upon such darling daughter of Eve.
But so fate had decreed.
Get me yard of ribbon-blue rib
bon-an inch wide the next time you
go to the department store" she said
to the day nurse. The day nurse for
got it.
please get me yard of Alice-blue
ribbon an inch wide,' she pleaded with
the night nurse, and the night nurse
forgot it. Then her temperature rose
till the ribbon arrived.
When, on the dreaded day, she was
lifted to the operating table it was dis
covered that she wore white silk stock
ings with dainty blue bow-knots tied
to the garters. The secret of the Alice
blue ribbon was revealed. 1.-The ruling
passion strong in DEATH" grunted the
surgeon-but the sweet thing, she
didn't die after all-she was saved to
fashion and to finery. The stockings
came off and the ribbon went into the
carnage trough before the operation,

COOLIES MAY DIG CANAL.
ShiplOads of Chinese to Isthmus
as an Experiment..

Washington, D. C. Chinese labor
is to be used, after all, in building
the Panama canal. The canal commits
sion, at is last meeting on the 18TH
mus, considered the advisability of i'm
porting coolies from the Far East.
AS a result the matter Friday was
referred to Attorney General Moody
to determine whether such action is
prohibited by the Chinese exclusion
and contract labor laws 1t is not be-
lieved either law applies to the canal
zone.
This step is one the authorities
have discussed for months, and it is
to be taken now only as a last re-
sort. American workingmen will not
accept employment as laborers in the
canal zone: negroes of the West In
dian islands have failed to render
satisfactory service; natives of North
ern Spain, who have been induced to
go to the zone, are twice as effective
as negroes, but enough of them can
not be secured.
The commission is compelled there
fore to fall back upon Chinese, and
arrangements are being made to i'm
port two shiploads.

oLp-FAsHIoNED DoUoHNuTs
If Too Rich They Soak the Fat-How
to Make and Fry Prop
erlv

When doughnuts turn out rough
and clumsy, they are perhaps made
too rich or too soft, or both. Dough-
nuts soak fat, II made too rich. Here
is my recipe:
To one cup sugar add two eggs,
three-Quarters cup milk, one table
spoon melted butter, one-half (scant)
teaspoon salt, the same of cinnamon.
and little grated nutmeg. Use one
heaping teaspoon baking powder, and
-four enough to make dough stiff
enough to be handled.
Beat eggs. add sugar, then butter,
then seasoning. then milk; then sift
In flour (about pint. into which you
have put salt and baking powder.
Now beat until smooth and fine, add
ing a little more flour If necessary.
Take out upon h hoard about a third
Of the dough at time, putting the
scraps back and stirring into the
dough each time. Have no flour on
the outside of the cakes when put
into fat. These will not soak fat (if
fried properly, and will keep their
shape-smooth outside and of fine,
close texture inside, and not tough,
says a writer In Farm and Home.
Clarity fat by boiling a raw potato
In 1t. l always clean the black sedi-
ment from the bottom Of fat before
using.
Try it by dropping one Of the little
centers in. If it rises almost instan-
taneously, 1t is hot enough. To fill
the kettle with uncooked cakes all at
once. and take out all at once, chills
the fat too much. Then it gets too
hot later. Manage to have the kettle
full, but only two or three done at a
time, and two or three uncooked ones
added at a time.

The Daintiest of Little Summer Coats

by lace insertions and finished with
the popular Richelieu silk plaitings.
New arrangements of velvet ribbons
are also used in these jacket forma-
tons, and are combined with inser-
tons of heavy Cluny or other laces OF
coarse mesh, the whole idea little
newer in thought than the silk-ribbon
jacket. The making of these confec-
lions is the most fascinating kind of
fancy work, and as piazza work to oc-
cupy ones leisure at summer hotels,
will prove an irresistible occupation,
having more practicability attached
to 1t than accompanies the making of
doiltes and the like.

SOME BEDROOM DoN'Ts.

Don't lie in the same position all
night If you can help 1t.
Don't cover your head with the bed
clothes. Have your covers warm but
light.
Don't go to bed hungry. Eat any
light simple food that you wish If it
agrees with you.
Don't sleep in a room that is too
cold. From IS to 60 degrees is the
right temperature.
Don't go to bed with cold feet, but
see to it that they are warm and COM
Portable before you get in bed.
Don't fill your bedroom with bric-a-
brac and draperies, but have as little
as possible in it to catch the dust.
Don't put your pillows in the sun,
as it draws the oil out of the feathers.
Sun the bed and bedding, but place the
pillows out of the sunlight in a current
of air

hold cannot own too many cushions
to suit the feminine members, though
there may be an occasional masculine
protest against an excess in supply.
The latest notion Is to have one or
two cushions of heart shape resting
on top of the ordinary square pillows,
and the result is very good, as the
accompanying illustration shows. The
cushion is of large size, somewhat SOL
idly stuffed. and from six to eight
inches thick. For the center the heart
shape IS cut out in a fiat piece of silk,
backed, If soft, with coarse linen or
sitter material, and set with wide
gauging made to lie fiat. Sometimes.
as in the example here pictured, a
touch of embroidery is added. In
perfectly plain corded silk without
adornment the heart cushion makes
an admirable accessory to the sofa
furnishing. Broiderie Anglaise on
ivory lawn, lined with one Of the col
ors dominant in the room, makes an
excellent covering for such cushion,
the gauging being dispensed with in
favor of a flat-shaped border Of the
open work.

Sleepy Policeman,s Mistake.

An urban councillor of Milton, Sit
tingbourne, England, got into a COM
partment at Barking in which po-
liceman and a prisoner were travel
ing.
Presently the policeman fell asleep
and when the train reached Plaistow
the prisoner, failing to arouse his GUS
todian, quietly got out. When the po-
liceman woke up he mistook the urban
councillor for his prisoner and tried
to force him out to the platform. The
councillor resisted. and the train went
on to Bromley-by-Bow
Here the policeman succeeded in
hauling the victim out and took him
back to Plaistow by train. After ~
long cross-examination the councillor
was liberated and reached home by
cab In the small hours of the morning.

Birthstones.

There has been such a revival of the
fad of wearing birth stones that one
store has instituted the plan of an
nouncing each month which stone is
the lucky one for that month. On
bit of cardboard prominently placed

Ruby is the birthstone for July" or

senting some bit of jewelry like a

JOYS That Age Brings

1t is given those in age to set their
store upon the average things of life
to discount the joy and discount the
sorrows as well. They find their in
terest growing in the everyday affairs
that youth either disregarded or saw
all out of proportion. They surrender
the vivid delights and poignant sor-
rows of great passions for self-control
and the better ordering of their emo
tions-and it is the uniform testimony
of those who are growing old wisely
that they are the gamers by the ex-
change.

No outward applications do the least
good in such a case; cold baths, leav-
ing off stimulants, especially tea, pleas
ant associations and strong will to
fight the nervous weakness, all help.
Study the dietary, and eat nothing
that is difficult of digestion; lettuce
and the spring onions are very great
aids to sleep; sometimes an onion,
peeled, sliced and eaten with little
oil, salt and vinegar and a piece of
bread, just before retiring, induces
sleep. Leave drugs alone.
