/ So RAYERY, Doctor (said my
! 8SSN friend the third oficer), isn't

B. One man Is brave in one way, and
another in a different one. Often
enough, that which is called bravery is
nothing more than custom. You wouldn't
go up on the fore-royal-yard in half q
gale to reef sail, would you? Not you /!
you'd be afraid. Well, you might think
me q brave man because would. But
then, I'd be afraid to cut a chaps leg
of, and you wouldn't.
That was what old Captain Hoskins,
whom used to sail with, could never
understand. If a man was a bit ner-
JTous about the sea, he used to look
AoWn on him as all sorts Of coward.
But there came day when he learned
Better.
It happened when I was with him in
. fhree-masted sailing ship called the
Arrow. We lay at Singapore, alongside
Che Tanjong Pagan wharf, loading with
q general cargo for Liverpool. The prin-
8lpal object IN EAat cargo-or, at least,
Che one we took most notice of-was a
Niger that we were shipping for London.

Crisp Crust Rolls

One pint warm water, one cake COM
pressed yeast, One-half tablespoonful
salt. Always test the yeast; break
yeast in tumbler, add one-half table
spoonful of sugar and fill tumbler with
part of the warm water. If the yeast
rises to the top of the water in a short
time it is good if not it is not fit to
use. Have warm sifted flour in pan
and make a hole in center of it, pour
in warm water, yeast and salt, mix in
a soft dough and let it stand until it
doubles itself, then roll out and cut into
strips with sharp knife and form into
long, slender rolls. Let them stand until
they double themselves. then bake.
Makes about twenty-four rolls, and if
temperature is right it only takes about
three hours to bake them.

big brute, and every time it stretched
stself you could see the muscles slip

booking claws peeping out Of the pads

We had q passenger or two. One of
shem was a young girl who went by
she name Of Hilda Sanford. She had
been a governeSs in the family Of one

The other passenger was q strange,

part saltpeter to ten parts salt. and
when so much has been rubbed in that

aside for tWenty-fOur hours in a cold
place, before repeating the process. Set
aside again for twenty-four hours. At
the end of that time put over the fire

salt, four ounces of saltpeter and one
and a half pounds Of brown sugar. Boil
for ten minutes, then set aside until

put the beef in the pickle and set it in
a cold place. If this pickle shows signs
OF spelling remove the beef, wash and
wipe and prepare more and stronger

RhUbarh Pie

Skin and chop two cups of rhubarb
before measuring. Mix III cups sugar
and two tablespoonful of flour to-
gether, and add to the rhubarb; then
add the yolks of two eggs, slightly
beaten, and one teaspoonful of butter.
Line a pie plate with plain paste. Fill
with the mixture and bake in a mOder-
ate oven until the rhubarb is soft
Cover with a meringue made Of the
whites beaten stiff, add two tablespoon
fuls of powdered sugar and continue
beating. Pile lightly on the pie and
bake in a slow oven about fifteen min
utes. If the rhubarb is scalded before
using some of its acidity is lost, so less
sugar is required.

MAIN DAM ON THE THE ARTIFICIAL LAKE

This country is on the verge of an
era when, thanks to the aid given by
electricity, distant reservoirs and rivers
will furnish the power to light streets
and buildings, run trolley cars, pump
the water supply and keep machinery
moving in mills and factories in Amer
lean towns and cities. The water wheel
is almost as old as history itself, but
during the nineteenth century it was
outrivaled by steam as a power pro
ducer.
Now, among the other innovations
due to twentieth century ingenuity
comes q new era of usefulness for one
Of the most venerable among mechan-
zeal appliances. In the State Of New
York, where the mighty Niagara has
been placed in bondage on the one side
and water powers on the upper Hudson
are also being developed, electricity
will flash along the power lines prac-
tically across the entire State. Similar
power developments have also been
made at points in the great West and
plants are in process of construction
in other sections of the country.
When the waters are harnessed and
made to supply power to be transmitted
by electricity over long distances the
engineers refer to it as hydroeIectric
development. Work which is now being
completed near Duluth is a good illus
tration Of what is involved when man
seeks to use in this way the pent-up
energies of rivers and streams. The
Great Northern Power Company, which
IN this case IS doing the work Of har-
Messing the waters, began the construc-
ton of its first plant only a little over
q year ago, but since then it has built
a great reservoir, dug a canal about
two miles long ending In a forebay Of
some forty acres, laid three great pipes,
each about mile in length, and Is
erecting a power house on the banks Of
the river.

times over. The plate can be either
fiat or depressed, as desired, and any
information stamped or printed on the
inside. Over this plate is a cover, which
is pivoted to one side so that it can

chain is attached to one side, the other
end connecting with a hook on the op-

The latter are made of a flexible ma
terial, such as leather or cloth. These
blades revolve within a rigid rim or
hoop, and are positioned much like the
spokes of a wheel. Obviously from
the nature of the material used for the
blades no harm can come from acct
dental contact, even when the fan is re-
volving at high speed. Another advan-
tage lies in the fact that the fan will
be practically nOiseless.

CHANGE OF BOUNDARY.
Gives Idaho Nearly 500 Square
Miles More.

The state Of Idaho is making large
gains in territory by the boundary
survey being carried on by the gov
eminent. The line dividing this
state and Montana, which is being
run by the engineers in the field, has
recently been completed from Lolo
pass to st. Regis pass. The result
shows an increase to the state of 400
square miles of territory over that
shown by the most accurate map yet
made. 1t Is estimated that further
increases when the surveys have been
finished, will make sufficient addi-
tions to the state to bring the total
increase up to so square miles, or a
territory one half the size of Rhode
Island or Delaware, and enough to
make good sized county, even in
Idaho. The line just completed, be-
tween the passes, is only about one
third of the distance Of the entire
survey, yet it is not believed that the
remainder of the work will make very
marked changes over existing maps,
owing to the character Of the country
which defines the boundaries,
While the territory acquired will
come largely within forest reserves,
the immediate effect will be felt in
the great additions to accrue to the
school lands of the state, lieu select
IONS of which can be made at any
time.
This will amount to approximately
IL, 800 acres, which, at the minimum
price of $40 an acre, gives an added
wealth to the state of Sl76,000.
The act of congress, defining the
boundaries of the state of Idaho
reads as follows: "Beginning at a
point in the middle channel of the
Snake river, where the northern
boundary Of Oregon intersects the
same; then follow down the channel
of Snake river to point opposite the
mouth of the kooskooskia or Clear
water river; thence due north to the
40th parallel of latitude; thence east
along that parallel, to the 39th de-
gree Of longitude west of Washington
thence south along that degree of
longitude, to the crest of the Bitter
Root mountains; thence southwark
along the crest OF the Bitter Root
mountains till its intersection with
the Rocky mountains to the 34th de-
gree Of longitude west of Washing
ton; thence south, along that degree
of longitude to the And degree north
latitude; thence west along the par
allel, to the eastern boundary of the
state of Oregon; thence along that
boundary to the place of begi nning."
The survey made begins at the
north line of the Bitter Root forest
reserve, and extends along the east
line of the Shoshone reserve. and
gives to that county the increased
territory. The remainder of the sur
yey will be made next season.
