Because his mother, Susan Carlin,
had sent him to various reformatory
institutions In which he was prison

Onicials In the state department are
much annoyed by the discovery of q

This despite the fact that the official
relations between the two countries

ECONOMY IN CUTTING BREAD.
European Idea American Housewives
Would Do Well to Copy.

France and Italy have the reputa,
ton of being the least expensive coun-
tries in which to live. and this Ii ow-
ing not only to the price of food
stuffs, but also to the extreme care
with which everything IL used.
An example Of this studied econ
omy. which, In time, becomes second
nature. is their use Of bread. In both
countries mentioned only enough
bread is cut to provide the family with
one piece each. Should any one else
wish for bread, two pieces are cut.
and this process IN repeated until the
meal is over.
BY this method there Is no bread
left cut from the loaf to dry In the
box, and one baking lasts four full
days, not two days and a half.
Perhaps Il sounds too economical;
perhaps the generous hostess might
think that Il was not true American
hospitality. Indeed, It is the best
treatment for guests and family alike,
for bread that stands but short
time in the dish II sure to be just a
little dry, while bread just cut IL
sweet and fresh.

One Of the inAumerable things that
the manufacturers Of turned-wood
goods make IL the darning egg. for use
a. an aid In darning stockings.
These eggs are commonly provided
each with handle Of the same kind

while ago there was received 1t the
New York once of q turned goods
manufacturing concern an order for .
couple OF cases, some thousands In
number, OF darning eggs to be sup

and then for some reason this special
lot of eggs was left on the manufac-
turer's hands. But they were not
wasted.
In the course Of time there came
In hatpin manufacturer who wanted
to leave an order for few thousand
hatpin knobs, to be made In specified
shape and dimensions. Besides making
regularly great variety Of things the
turned goods makers also turn wood In
any shape that may be required to
order.
And then the salesman recalled that
little lot Of understood handleless
darning eggs, which proved to be ex-
actly what the hatpin wanted and he
took the lot. And 40 finally they came
to be made up. not as darning eggs,
with fancy handles, but ~ the knobs

To remove the very disagreeable
odoY of naphtha from gloves, or in

article should be placed as close as
possible to steam heater, or directly

steam heat thoroughly dries out what
ever of the fluid may have remained

the danger of explosion which makes
It impossible to. dry naphthacleaned

After naphtha-cleaning gloves, laces

will entirely disappear in less than an

w topic Of conversation In all sets
of Washington society is the rumored
engagement of Miss Katherine Elkins
daughter Of Senator and Mrs. Stephen
B. Elkins, to the royal duke Of Abruzzi
who was the social lion for a few days
last spring when he came In com
opening of the jamestown exposition.
This engagement has been rumored
more or less for the last six months.
but has been strenuously denied by
all the members of Miss Elkins' fam
lily. The duke II the first cousin of the
king of Italy, and should he marry
without the approval of his royal rela-
tive. he would have to renounce his
title, one Of the most honored in all
Italy, and all his rights as member
OF the royal family. His father, the
late duke of Aosta, was for some time
king of Spain. He can, however, re-
tain his royal prestige, and even the
title by a special act of the Italian
parliament provided the king gives
his consent to the match.
II this marriage takes place 1t will
be by all odds the most brilliant in
ternational match yet made by a
Washington girl. The duke is the

During a session full OF violent tall
the house adopted two new rules de
signed to prevent filibustering by the
Democrats. II also passed Speaker

the departments of justice and labor
for information concerning the 30

OF four battleships and eight instead
Of four submarine torpedo boats, and
carrying total appropriation of
$103,967,518 for the naval service for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1909.
was reported to the house by Chair
man Foss Of the committee on naval
affairs.
AS an aftermath OF the passage Of
the army appropriation bill Senator
Hale, chairman of the committee on
naval affairs, warned against increases
OF the military establishment, saying
they were inviting a deficit. He
moved the reconsideration OF the vote
by which the army bill was passed
and his motion was then laid on the
table at his request. Senator Burkett
characterized the proceeding as one
of bad faith. The senate passed the
fertilization appropriation bill carry
ing an aggregate of $12,1O6,1S7.
The special house committee investi-
eating Mr.. Lilley's charges against
the Electric Boat company learned
that some one in the navy department
had been giving out parts of navy
reports.
With only one vote recorded
against II, that Of Mr.. Littlefield Of
Maine, the house Of representatives
under suspension of the rules passed
the Sterling employers liability bill
after 40 minutes debate. The house
also passed the naval bill appropriate
ing $650,000 for naval station at
Pearl harbor Hawaii.
John Sharp Williams and his band
Of fiilibusters resumed their dilatory
tactics as soon as the house convened.
Roll call after roll call was demanded
solely for the purpose of delaying leg
islation. After several hours had
been wasted in this way the rules
committee brought in rule applying

was adopted despite the strenuous
opposition OF the Democrats.
