URGED PRAYER TO BRING
RELIEF FROM DROUGHT

In a sermon at Emmanuel Episcopal
Church last night. the rector the Rev.
X. ]. Hammond. urged prayer as
means Of relief from the drought. He
said in part:
After such a prolonged drouth as the
country has experienced this summer,
with distress caused by possible short
age Of late crops and The forest fires.
the question Of relief would be upper
most in many minds
with the Christian believing in a
Creator and that He vet takes an ac-
tive and a practical ana loving interest
in his creation and creatures, prayer
for rain will be one reasonable ana
practical help. He hears the objec-
tion-God knows already our needs
Yet he knows an earthly parent is will
ing TO have his children ask for what
they need. why not an Heavenly. He
hears another objection; God knows
what Is best. Leave ali TO Him. ASH
not In human ignorance of what IL
best. Yet he knows sll prayer Is SUBJ
missive prayer. The suppliant may
earnestly desire that for which he
prays and vet even mo-e earnestly de
sire the exercise of Divine Wisdom In
the wisest answer. lie will ask fol
what he thinks best because he thinks
so, yet expecting a better answer If
this be not best.
PRAYER for rain being for a temper
ary mercy must be regarded as are
petitions for health in sickness, foi
success in business. or cafe return from
a journey"

BY. United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, oct. 26.-Captain Peter
C. Hains, who shot and killed William
r. Annis for alleged betrayal of his
wife. will plead insanity. This develop
ed today when the army officer. with
his brother. T. Jenkins Hains, was ar
raiened before Justice Garretson in the
Supreme Court at Flushing. l.. I.
That Mrs. Claudia Hams confessed
intimacy with Annis was indicated by
a letter which John F. Mcintyre, coun-
sci for the Hams brothers, gave out
today. Omitting certain sentences
which he said no newspaper would print
the letter read:

Justice Garretson having disallowed
the demurrer by Mr.. Mcintyre as TO the
Indictment against T. Jenkins Hams.

THE COOKBOOK.

When soaking beans a tiny pinch of
soda in the water will be an improve
ment.
1t is better to steam green cabbage,
1uliflower and the like. A sprinkling
of salt should be applied to the vege-
tables before they are put into the
steamer
To keep soup let it remain covered
with coating Of fat, as this excludes
the air and helps to preserve the stock
If the soup has no fat use clarified
dripping for this purpose.
Bread which has been cut in slices
and then allowed to become stale may
be freshened by folding the slices in
a napkin, putting them in the napkin
into a paper bag and placing the bag
in hot oven for a quarter of an hour.
If cake falls in the center the open.
ing of the oven door and the conse-
quent rush of cold air may account fol-
1t, too much baking powder may have
been used or the mixing may be al
fault. Never slam or bang the oven
door when a cake is inside.

lAPLANDER STYLES.
They Haven't Changed Any In tn
Last Thousand Years.

They Haven't Changed Any In the
Last Thousand Years.
There is one corner in the world
where the fashions of the people have
remained the same for the last thou
sand years. The Lapp lady is not con-
cerned about the latest toque from
Paris nor Is she subject to that soul
narrowing experience, the bargain
counter crush. However, she may
properly lay claim to having been the
original bleomer girl, for the neither
garment worn by her today is of the
same design as that worn by her an
cestors of thousand years ago.
The summer garment Of the Lapland-
er Is usually of coarse wooden goods
and has something the cut Of a shirt
with a high collar. Among the sea
Lapps 1t is for the most part undyed.
Among the other Lapps usually blue,
sometimes green or brown and even
black smock frocks have been seen.
Round the wristbands, along the
seam in the back and on the edges this
smock is ornamented with strips of
red and yellow cloth. Under this gar
ment is a similar one, either plain or
figured, worn next to the body, for the
Lapp never wears linen underclothing.
The trousers are of white wooden
goods, rather narrow and reaching to
the ankles, where they are tied inside
the shoes with long slender shoestrings.
Over these drawers are usually worn
leggings of thin, tanned skins, reach
ing from the ankles to the knees.
Stockings the Lapp never wears. He
fills the upper curving tip Of his shoes
with sort of grass, which is gathered
in summer and beaten to make it soft
and plia BILE. Tho winter costume only
differs from that worn in summer in
that every piece is made of reindeer
skin with the hair on.
The dress Of the women differs very
slightly from that worn by the men.
The smock is somewhat longer and is
made without the big standing collar
instead Of which a kerchief or cap Is
worn about the neck. To the woven
and often silver ornamented girdle
hang knife. scissors, key, needle and
thread. The head covering is not only
different IN the two sexes, but also
differs according to the locality.
