OF BULLITT SUIT
Seems to be a Mix-up in the
Divorce Suit Of DR.. John
c. BuIIitt, Jr.

II Mrs. Victor Delin, now visiting at

John Christian Bull'tt, Jr., of Philadel-
phia, she does not know it. She said
so today. Mrs. Delin before her mar
riage was Miss Josephine NJ Zinque
Of Hockessin, and DR.. Bullitt has be-
gun proceedings at Trenton, n. j., to
have annulled his marriage with one
Josephine NJ. Zinque, a trained nurse
BY a strong coincidence Mrs. Delin.
formerly Miss Josephine NJ. zinque,
now at Hockessin, is a trained nurse
and returned recently from the Phil

DR.. Bullitt in the annulment pro-
ceedings began in Trenton, cites in
his petition that while he was an in
mate in a private hospital in this city,
from November 10, 1899, TO January
9. 1900, suffering with mental disorder,
Josephine link, then his nurse, trap

declares that since he has retained his
reason he has never lived with her.
Many Of DR.. Bullitts friends. some of
his relatives by marriage even, eX-
pressed great surprise when told that
ne was suing for divorce. They de-
clared that they had always thought
him a bachelor.
Mrs. Delin, formerly Miss Josephine

When asked about the matter today shi
said no papers in the Bullitt case had
been screwed upon her She said she
graduated as a trained nurse in Phil

nursing about eight years ago. She re-

that she cared for a Mr.. Bullitt, bu
Just where she couldn' trecall
Mrs. Delin admitted that she is puz

a defendant and her maiden name. Sh
said the Mr.. Bullitt she nursed wa
"fightY" and feverish when she care
for him, and intimated that because o

NO FRIENDSHIPS AMONG
WOMEN.
SUCH THING HARDLY POSSIBLE IN
MODERN SOCIETY.

One cannot watch the whirl of mod
ern society without observing that one
OF the causes of its emptyheadedness is
the lack of opportunities for forming
friendships of solid kind, especially
among women, says an English society
writer. A life without friendships, or
at least one, is minus one of the great
est of good influences vouchsafed to us
mortals. Friendship is practically
dead among society women. Ofcourse,
there are many individual instances of
true and lasting attachment to be found
among women of today, but the gen.
eral rule is to have an endless succession
OF acquaintances with scarcely any of
whom has one more than casual init
macy. The same forces are at work
among men, as among women, but
cannot do so much damage owing to
the freer condition of mems lives and
also owing to that great promoter of
friendship, tobacco. If women could
go to each other's;homes;'s 'sfor smoke, :"
and sit in blessed silence watching the
blue rings dissolve, their friendships
would be deeper and longer; for where
two people are suited to be comrades
silence is not only a blessing, but a
form of expression. Whereas women,
ii they meet together at all, must talk
there is nothing else to do, and the
casual cigarette of the modern hostess
and guest cannot take the place of the
comfortable pipe or the serious cigar.
There is no opportunity for the wo-
man of 1908 to form friendships with
her sex unless she..cherishes those made
in girlhood, and very often, as the two
characters develop, it is impossible to
maintain these.
AEsociety woman is as much bound
to her life as slave to the galley. Men
are comparatively much freer. If two
college chums choose to go off big game
shooting in the middle of the season,
why, they 60. But if woman and a
woman friend trotted away to enjoy
the country in June together, not only
! would their friends stand aghast, but
the whole of society would wonder with
insinuating winks, "What was up"
The society leader cannot even stay
away from some big function at great
house without having to run the
gauntlet of a dozen cross-examinations.
But her husband, or any other man,
married or unmarried, has nothing
more elaborate to say than polite fib
to his hostess and the truth to his
friends. 'That he did not feel like it,
so he did not CO." Where women are
so bound down (perhaps by their own
fault, but none the less bound for that,
it is naturally difficult for them to have
the time for friendship

Goosebone Prophecy.

J. B. Musse of Reading, Pa, a goose
bone weather prophet, announces that
the breast bone of the goose is marked
very peculiarly this year. There is a
dark spot here and there, making an
accurate prediction difficult, indicating
that the winter will be generally an
open one with very cold spell now
and then. December will be very cold,
but there will be little snow. January
will have some snow with a warm
spell during the middle of the month.
February will be severe month with
plenty of ice and snow. March will
be open with warm spell, and plenty
of rain and hail, and a late spring will
follow.

Few People Know How to Cook
Cranberries.

Through ignorance Of its true value
one OF our American fruits is practical
ly unknown to millions of our citizens.
Many have never eaten them. Many
have tried them only to be disappoint-
ed in them. Nearly all other fruits
have this great advantage over the
cranberry-they can be eaten raw,
while the cranberry must be properly
cooked, and that they are very seldom
well cooked is very evident to any one
who knows what good cranberries are
like.
Indeed, one who relishes the beauti-
full and palatable dishes that can be
made from them, cares nothing for
them as they are generally prepared
Most peoples idea of them is that they
are very sour and take too much sugar.
True, it takes lots Of sugar to sweeten
the sour dishes generally brought to
the table, but when they are properly
cooked they are more economical than
other fruits, are very healthy, can be
preserved or kept fresh longer than any
other fruit and used the year round.
Many people eat cranberry sauce
with turkey more because they are con-
sidered the proper condiment than be-
cause they especially like them; but
they are very fine condiment for all
meats.
One of the most important points in
cooking them is to use only porcelain
or earthen dishes, never use tin or men,
tai; and they are better the day after
they are cooked, but should be kept in
glass or earthenware dishes.
The following recipe will be found
very toothsome; One quart cranberries,
one pound of sugar, one pint of water
boil the water and sugar together for
five minutes; skim, add berries and
cook slowly without stirring or burn
ing until the berries are thoroughly
cooked and tender. They can also be
made into marmalade that can be sliced
with knife. Candied, they can hard
ly be told from candied cherries.
1t pays to buy the best berries, and
growers are beginning to realize that
their best asset is to educate the public
as to their true value and then get the
fruit to the consumer in the best pos
sible condition.
Cranberries should be kept in a cool,
dry places and when SO kept will keep
longer and better than any other fruit:
but for keeping, one should always
purchase the late varieties.

ARTIFICIAL RAIN-MAKING.
CONGRESS AUTHORIZED COSTLY Ex-
PERIAIENTS IN THAT LINE.


PERIMENTs IN THAT LINE.
Speaking about drouths, it may moi
be generally known that congress has
dignified the question of artificial rain
making by authorizing costly expert
ments and considering an extensive
report on the subject. Different meth
ods of producing rain have been pro-
posed at different times, the main fea-
lures being by extensive fires or by
causing a severe conclusion of the up
per air.
Prof. James P. Espy was the origi-
nator and for many years an ardent
advocate of the fire theory. He was
born in Pennsylvania, but spent most
of his adult life in the west, and died
in Cincinnati in 1864. He maintained
that extentive rains could be produced
by extensive forest fires in the far
west, and he demonstrated ii theOreti-
cally to the satisfaction of scientists.
His theory was that if the fires were
continued for a sufficient length OF
time they would cause an upward cur
rent of hot air which would certainly
bring rain. His theory was indorsed
| by European scientists, and the dis
tinguished French savant, AragO, said,
"France has its Cuvier, England its
Newton, America its Espy." He tried
to get an appropriation from congress
to enable him to test his theory, but
failed. In 1913, however, he received
an appointment under the war depart
ment and prosecuted his Investigations
in the Washington observatory.
In 1891 Chicago man named Gath
man patented method of making rain
by suddenly chilling the atmosphere
by rapid evaporation through the re-
lease of liquefied carbonic acid gas.
This theory was never tested. In 1880
Gen. Daniel Ruggles of Fredericks-
burg, Va, obtained patent on max
ing rain by explosion In the clouds, the
explosions to be torpedos from balloons.
He also failed to get an appropriation
from congress to test his plan, but
Senator Farwell of Illinois took it up
and succeeded in getting an appropria-
tion of $1,000 for carrying on the ex-
periments. The experiments were car
ried on in the vicinity of Washington
and in Texas. At the next session of
congress another appropriation of $1O,-
900 was made for the purpose, Of which
about $1,000 was expended under the
direction of the department of agricul-
ture, and the remainder was turned
back into the treasury. The expert
ments were partially successful in pro-
ducing little rain under certain con-
ditions, but were too expensive to JUS
tify ce.-Indianapolis News.
