Advice About Cooking Hams.

A ham should never be cooked with
out having been soaked first for "a
hours in cold water. When it is ready
to be cooked, drain it, put on fresh
water, skin the ham, cover again with
boiling water and cook slowly for one
more hour. Again drain the ham and
pour over it one quart of cider and
enough boiling water barely to cover
it, Boil slowly for another hour, re-
move from the fire and allow to cool
in the liquor. When cold drain off
the liquor and keep it. Trim the ham
into nice shape, cover it with crack
er crumbs highly seasoned with
spices, black pepper and a heaping
tablespoonful of brown sugar; mosten

Medicines EARNINGS.

Medical science makes temporarily
a claim upon the gratitude of the race.
In London, New York and Chicago, the
profession announces that recent prog
ress in the cure and prevention of dis
ease has gone far enough to diminish
distinctly the incomes of practicing
physicians. If this true, it is a
magnificent message of service to hui
mainly. Without asking. for further
proof it may be accepted as true. SAM
tation, the conquest of infant diseases,
the lowering of typhoid percentages,
aseptic surgery, the acquaintance with
food values, the development of a
scientific nursing and the control of
germ enemies are achievements
known to everybody. Medical practice
has simplified itself at it's own pc
cuniary cost, while it has never
faltered in promoting the investiga-
tons which result in the diminutlon
of its earnings. To medical science
and practice we can bow with respect
and gratefulness. The labor has been
incessant, their intelligence lavishly
applied, and the collective reward is a
reduction of income. Their title to
the name of benefactors should at
least have hearty recognition.-Phila

THRILLING STORY FROM REAL
LIFE OF A DIVERS BRAVERY.
Almost Sacrificed His own Life In
Desperate Effort to Bring His
Helpless Companion to
the Surface.

The scene where the following In
cident occurred is in Torbay. and the
time of its happening the night of
Friday, July IL of this year.
Some days previously torpedo boat
No. 80 had sunk In the bay. Salvage
operations were In progress, and the
giinboat Spanker heayed gently over
lay. On board the scene was an ami.
mated one. Government divers were
ascending and descending, reporting
on the condition of the wreck and the
likelihood of saving the vessel. Pres
emily one. Walter Trapnell by name,
descended TO the wreck
On board the divers boat the pumps
were driving air down to the man at
work below, and the steady movement
Of the life line told that all was pro.
crossing well.
Twenty minutes went by. No signal
had come up from the diver calling to
be hauled to the surface. More min
utes passed. The period for diver to
remain under water at such a depth
had long been exceeded.
Then II was that Diver Leverett tel.
ephoned to inquire the reason of his
comrades delay.
Il am fouled in the wreck and can
not get Free" came up the reply
words which filled every man with
alarm.
"All right. will come down to YOU"
replied Diver Leverett.
Moving in the semi-darkness along
the deck of the sunken torpedo boat
Leverett presently discerned his COM
rade. He was standing on the sea-bed,
and high above his head the life line
and other gear swung entangled in
one OF the davits of the torpedo boat.
One steady survey told him that
Trapnell was powerless to aid himself.
He took his hand and shook it to re-
assure him that he would rescue him,
for beneath the sea it is impossible
for divers to speak to one another.
Then at once he set about to free the
entanged tackle

decks. The pressure of the water af.

To Make Clothes White.

Nothing will bleach white materials
like sunshine and fresh air. If 1t We're
possible for every laundress to have
for her use a clean grass plot there
would be no need for bluing. The
Italian women wash their clothes in
the running water of streams or on
the banks of rivers, beating them on
the rock which, of course, is more or
less damaging to the clothes. After
the clothes are washed they are
spread out on the grassy banks to
dry in the sunshine, and no matter
how mutilated the garments may be
or how poorly ironed they are GER

LIGHTING THE ROOM
A MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN
THE HOME.
Side Lights Increase Apparent Size Of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Still Used
for Reading Lamps-Fernery
for Dining Table.

OF the various problems of furnish
Ing house, the question of lighting is
an important factor For rooms Of
some height 1t is generally agreed
that the invisible source of light Is
the best. This means concealed lights,
high above the eye, that reflect upon
the ceiling and then throw soft light
down over the whole room. High cell
ings, however, are not built in the
ordinary house, and, therefore, would
be impracticabe for domestic use. The
apparent size of rooms in an apart.
ment or house may be considerably
increased by using side lights instead
of the regulation chandelier. pair
may be placed near the piano. another
over a corner seat or against book
case. and so on, to give light where
specially needed.
Some consider, however, that a
house Is not properly lighted where
side fixtures alone are used. Low cen
trail lights are often necessity, and
these requirements are best met by
lamps or drop-lights. Even where
electricity and gas are used, kerosene
is still popular. 1t provides steadier
and softer light for reading. Many of
the lamps of to-day are handsome to
look at, but give poor light for read
ing or sewing No form of electric
bulb has yet been designed that in its
unshaded form is beautiful or artistic

Nothing gives the dining table a
more cheerful appearance than few
flowers or a fernery. SO popular has
the custom become that the filling of

business. They should be made with
an outer and inner receptacle. The
