TRAGIC FATE BLIGHTS
LIFE OF AMBASSADOR

1T is the irony Of fate that at the
i height of his career. with no
blemish on his reputation, and
through no fault of his own,
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, should
German ambassador, should stand
upon the brink Of diplomatic and
social oblivion. But such is the
tragic fact. A cancerous growth, ter

face, has apparently ruined beyond
repair a career full of promise and
the social prospects of his beautiful
American wife, and 1t Is understood
here that Germany will send another
ambassador some time within the
next six months.

clans do not seem to understand

kaiser in India, and within the last

WAS Vice President Fairbanks born
w in log cabin? This great Ques-
ton, which threatens to become
an issue in the next presidential cam
paign is causing excitement among
the sons of Indiana. In "The Life and

picture of log cabin in which the
vice president is reported to have
been born.
The authors son. William Wolf

assertion that the autobiography is
inaccurate and that the picture is
one Of series of fakes resorted to
for the purpose Of promoting the vice

had with the picture.

says Mr.. Fairbanks was four years of
age when the cabin was burned, and
Indianians are pointing to the asser.
ton that Mr.. Fairbanks can sketch
with accuracy building that was do

TO GET MEALY POTATOES.
Must Be Boiled and Looked After In
Proper Manner.

Potatoes, to boil well together,
should be as nearly equal in size as
possible. Wash OF the mold and
scrub them very clean with hard
brush, but neither scoop or apply a
knife to them in any way; even to
clear the eyes.
Rinse them well and arrange COM
pactly in saucepan SO that they may
not lie loose In the water and that a
small quantity may suffice to cover
them.
Pour this in cold and when It boils
throw In about teaspoonful of salt
to the quart and simmer the potatoes
until they are nearly done; the last
two or three minutes let them boil
rapidly; when quite tender, which
may be known by probing them with
fork, pour all the water from them
and lift the lid Of the saucepan to al.
low the steam to escape; place on z
trivet high over the fire or by the
side of It until the moisture Is quite
evaporated; peel and send to the
table as quickly rs possible. Irish
families always prefer them served
In their skins.

Cleaning Ivory.


Most homemakers have had din.
Guilty in cleaning ivory or fine bone
handled knives, and one of their diff.
culties has no doubt been in the too
vigorous cleaning that an inexperi.
enced maid has given them to their
complete undoing. Here is a tried
method:
Coat the steel with wax or parafin,
and immerse the handles in a solu-
ton Of chloride of lime and water, In
the proportion Of one part of lime to
four parts Of water.
Leave the knives in this bath for a
day, then wash well with warm water
and wipe dry. Remove the wax II the
bone is perfectly white and free from
stains.
Another way Is to dip the handles
In a saturated solution Of alum and
water for from one to three hours,
then wash and wipe dry. The latter
method is far preferable unless the
handles are very much darkened and
discolored. Polish the blades with
putty powder, using buffer wet with
alcohol. This will not stain the
ivory.
