The Law of American Life.

The law of American life-of course
1t is the law of life everywhere-the
law Of American life, peculiarly, must
be the law of work not the law OF
idleness; not the law of self-indulgencs
or pleasure, merely the law Of work
That may seem like a trite saying
Most true sayings are trite 1t is a dis
grace for any American not to do his
duty, but 1t is a double, a triple dis
grace for a man of means or a man of
education not to do his duty. The only
work worth doing is done by those men,
those women, who learn not to shrink
from difficulties, but to face them and
overcome them. So that Americanism
means work, means effort, means the
constant and unending strife with our
conditions, which is not only the law of
nature, If the race is to progress, but
which is really the law of the highest
happiness for us Observation-Disclosures

CORNER IN PRIvATEERs.

Salem Had One Hundred and Fifty
Eight Fighting Ships.
Privateering was destined to have a
powerful influence upon the seafaring
fortunes of Salem, says Ralph Delaine
in Outing. Elias Haskell Derby. fer ex-
ample, the first great American ship
ping merchant and the wealthiest man
in the colonies, found his trading ac-
tivities ruined by the revolution. He
swung his mastery energy and large re-
sources into eeuipping privateers. 1t
was his standing offer that after as
many shares as possible had been sub
Scribed for IN financing any Salem pri-
vateer he would take up the remainder
If more funds were needed. 1t Is
claimed that Mr.. Derby was interested
in sending to sea almost all the 158
privateers which hailed from Salem
during the revolution. After the first
two years of war he discerned the I'm
portance Of speed and that many Of
the small privateers of his town had
been lost or captured because they
we're unfit for their business. He es-
tablished his own shipyards, studied
naval architecture and began to build
class of vessels vastly superior in
size, model and speed to any previously
launched in the colonies. They were
designed to be able to meet British
sloop-of-war on even terms.
These ships took a large number OF
prizes, but Elias Haskell Derby grad
ually converted them from privateers
to letters of marque, so that they could
carry cargoes to distant ports and at
the same time defend themselves
against the largest class of British
privateers. At the beginning Of the war
he owned seven sloops and schooners.
When peace came he had four ships Of
from 300 to 800 tons, which were very
imposing merchant vessels for that
time.
1t was with these ships, created by
the needs Of war, that the commerce Of
Salem began to reach out for ports on
the other side Of the world They were
the vanguard Of the great feet which
IaIOuSA llAS Two SSI4S1d IIOHo " AO11OW
were to carry the stars and stripes
around the Seven seas. Ready to man
them was the bold company Of priYa-
teersmen, schooled in a life Of rare
adventure, braced to face all risks in
the peaceful war for trade where none
of their countrymen had ever dared to
seek trade before. While they had been
dealing shrewd blows for their coIn-
try's cause in war, they had been also
preparing themselves for the dawning
age of Salem supremacy on the seas In
the rivalries Of commerce; pioneers In
brilliant and romantic era which was
destined to win unique fame for their
wind-swept town on the arm Of Cape

A DWeIIer in Glass Houses

Then she set her well-appointed
house in order and awaited Anne. still
with lips pressed firmly together.
From the front window she viewed the
five White boys playing soldier in their
s~5nt yard. They were ranged in steps
in the order Of age-two years space
between succeeding steps,-and were
exercising legs and lungs vigorously.
20 that Tommy" cried Mrs. Drew,
Indignantly, aloud. ut seems as
though Mrs. White might realize how
he actsl"
Tommy, exercising his prerogative
as general, had kicked the second in
command, who promptly kicked back
again. whereupon the march turned
into a riot. in which Tommy, beset by
the rest of the army, got worsted.
And yet there sits Mrs. White, look
ing out of the window placidly and do
ing nothing" calculated Mrs. Drew,
still more Indignantly. II never saw
any one 80 slack with children. Now
If Willie -"
The entrance Of Anne cut the SEN
tence short, and Mrs. Drew rose to
meet her.
Mrs. Drew was the kindest Of neigh
bors except where Mrs. White was
concerned. She did not mean to be
unkind to Mrs. White. She had simply
fallen into the habit Of comparing her
one blue-eyed, perfect Willie with the
five imperfect boys across the street
especially Tommy, who was of Willie's
age.
"Of course" she often declared,
willie has his faults!" She said it
complacently, but with mental reserva-
tions-the rest of the town said the

Short Suggestions.

Newspapers may be used to pad the
ironing board just as well as an old
blanket or muslin.
Soap well applied to drawer slides
will keep the drawers in furniture and
closets from sticking.
If you will varnish your linoleum
about every three months it will last
much longer than without the coats of
Varnish.
DiscoIored cups and dishes used for
baking can be made as new by rubbing
the brown stains with flannel dipped
into whiting.
When washing floors or cleaning win.
dows always put few drops Of paraf1n
in the water and this will keep away
flies, moths and other insects.
The skin from a boiled ham will be
more easily removed if as soon as be-
ing taken from the boiling liquor the
ham be plunged into cold water for a
moment.
Cheese may be kept from going moldy
by wrapping it in cloth dipped in
vinegar and wrung nearly dry Cover
the cloth with wrapper Of paper and
keep in a cool place.
Do not throw away the old table
cloths When too much worn to use on
the table cut into convenient size, put
narrow hem on sides and one-inch hem
on ends and see what nice, soft towels
they will make
For grease spots on mating make
very thin paste with water and fullers
earth and apply it literally to the soiled
place. Cover with cloth and let It
dry gradually In few days the dust
can be swept off and the spot will be
rmoved.
Use all small, undeveloped or green
potatoes in soups, or hash, for the I'M
developed potato will not cook well and
it often has a very fat flavor When
boiled they make good frying potatoes,
though it is almost impossible to cream
them or make them palatable unless
mixed with other vegetables or cooked
with meat.
Before cooking canned goods place in
a cOlander and drain off all juice and
rinse with cold water The seasoning
must be supplied with good fresh but
ter. milk, salt and pepper Leave no
canned goods in can that has been
opened; remove at once. This NAV rob
the vegetables of some food value. but
It is safest AID best to do so.
