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 a nice shape, cover it with crack
er crumbs highly seasoned with
spices, black pepper and a heaping
tablespoonful of brown sugar; mOisten
with cider and bake slowly for two
hours, basting frequently with the
liquor in which the ham was boiled.

10 Make Clothes White.

Nothing will bleach white materials
like sunshine and fresh air. If it 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
tainly dazzlingly white.

How to Wash Doeskin Gloves.

Nothing is so economical for ordi-
nary wear as white doeskin gloves,
for they last we'll and wash almost un-
endingly, but their success lies in the
secret of careful washing. The gloves
should be put in warm water, not too
warm. and gently rubbed with prim-
rose soap; take each glove singly and
soap it into a ball in the palm of the
hand, and rinse by gently shaking
in the water. When the rinsing is
we'll accomplished soap them again,
and then, without being rinsed.
squeeze them until all the water has
run out. Straighten the gloves, don t
pull them, and hang to dry where
there is a current of air; do not put
them near a fire. The drying takes
rather a long time, and at first the
gloves look spoiled, says Home Notes.
But they are a real success when
once dry, and they must be briskly
rubbed together to get rid of the stiff
ness; then they are ready to wear and
"as good as new"

Ruhher fnr the umhrelLa lar.

Cut a piece Of your old rubber mat,
and place it in the bottom of the um-
brella jar Umbrellas and canes are
frequently The means of breaking
these receptacIes when dropped into
them without proper care, and the
rubber viii help TO prevent this. If
you have not a piece of an old rubber

Some Suggestions.

If toilet silver is rubbed with soft
dry cloth every day it Will not need
weekly polishing. If your thread EOots
when sewing rub it towards the needle.
If rubbed towards the work it will GER
tainly tighten the knot. Celery will
keep crisp a long time if kept where it
is perfectly dark. An easy way to dye
is to take tube paint, dissolve in gas
Oline, the shade desired, then dip goods
and proceed as when washing with
gasoline. If bread that is burned is
shaved with sharp knife immediate
ly after taking it from the oven the
appearance as we'll as the taste will
be greatly improved If the drain in
your sink gets clogged up use the
palm of your right hand for a suction
pump. Have water in the sink and
press with rapid succession with the
palm Of the hand until the water runs
freely. If you should fail to make a
passage procure a wrench and take
the cap from the bowl under the sink.
Salt mixed with coTnstarch will not
get lumpy and viii run freely from the
salt cellar. If you are troubled with
the bread getting dry wrap it in a
cloth of several thicknesses and place
a wet cloth over the whole, being care
full not to let the bread get wet.

Damneninn Clothes.

Use hot water to dampen the clothes
that are to be irOned and you will find
it a great deal more satisfactory than
cold. 1t daInpens the clothes more
evenly and makes them easier to iron.
Il the water is too hot to put the
hands in use Z whisk broom to sprinkle
it with. Many Iaundresses prefer the
whisk broom, as they claim that it is
less likely to make the clothes toe
wet. The clothes may be irOned two
hours later with good results.

Mexican PRESIDENT
Celebrates BIRTHDAY

Diaz still retains considerable meas
ure of the physical and intellectual
vigor that has been sa largely respon-
sible for the rapid advancement of his
country among the nations of the
world. Although he had announced
his intention of retiring when his pres
ent term expires, general demand is
being made that he cont nue. to fill the
office he has so long occupied until
death relieves him of the responsible
fly.
Mexico was still in a state of dis
order, resulting from the French in
vasion and the struggle against the
empire of MAMMALIAN, when General
Diaz became chief executive of the
country Able, brave and, above all
honest, his influence was Immediately
felt and the general tumult soon sub
sided. Since that time, with the ex-
ception of few minor revolutionary
outbreaks, Mexico has been at peace
and has already advanced in material
and intellectual wealth.

The Political Otter Slide.
Wilmington Messenger.

nlluHluSGou hbsSeuSeT
The Durham Herald thinks Sen
atOr Simmons made a powerful
Jump for the band wagon-and missed
it," He seems to have climbed on
about the time, according to the
Charlotte correspondent, described 4
few days ago in reference to Mr..
Glenn getting on the front seat and
gathering up the reins Just as the
band stopped playing and the pro-
cessiOn disbanded. That was one
time in lis political career that Mr..
Simmons made Il leap in the dark
and failed to land. He seems to
have learned to be more cautious,
for it is said his senatorial private
secretary now spends the most of his
time in Raleigh watching the legisla-
tive proceedings and keeping his
chief posted on happenings and the
outlook from day to day. Some
body fooled Mr.. Simmons badly as
to the sentiments of the Legislature
on the prohibition question. We
reckon he has changed his mind
about the time being ripe for the
Democratic Legislature to pass IL
prohibition bill over the heads of the
people. There was big mistake
made in counting noses, else Mr.
Simmons would not have come out
before hand with the extra declara-
ton. 1t is funny how old-stager
politicians will slip up sometimes,
but they generally are successful in
getting the otter slide into working
order on short notice.

Fear Jack London is Lost IN the
Pacific.

The editors of the Woman's Home
Companion for whom Jack London is
sailing around the world in his little
boat Shark state that he is now over a
month due at Tahiti of the Society
Islands, for which place he sailed from
llilo, Hawaii, on October 9th
The gas engine with which the Shark
Is equipped was not working well when
Mr.. London left Hawaii. and it is sup
posed by his publishers that he has ex-
perienced some more trouble with 1t, or
that he has encountered the doldrums of
the Pacific, by which the little forty-five
foot boat might be buffeted about for
days or weeks, to be dropped at length
into a sea dead calm. For such are the
equatorial doldrums.
London sailed from San Francisco on
M0y--tth and reached Hawaii about a
moth later. He is accompanied on his
voyage around the world by his wife, q
captain, an engineer one sailor and two
Japanese servants. The brilliant sailor
writer expects to spend several years on
his voyage and to sail completely around
the world, stopping at interesting and
out-of-theway places along the route.

The South in Education.
Charlotte Observer.


We have n most interesting pam
phlet entitled Educational States
manship i'm the South" produced by
DR.. c. Alphonso Smith, dean OF the
graduate department in the Univ+r-
sitv OF North Carolina. 1t shows
that there was practically no system
of public education before the civil
war and that this educationa! states
manship had it's birth not morethan
thirty-five years ago and that IFS
greatest achievement is that It has
moulded public opinion TO the con
viction that education is the birth
day of American citizenship. J." The
value Of education is set forth i'v
these approved statistics:
Il. That from 1900 to 1870 the edu-
Gated boy in the United States failed en-
.irely to become so notable in any depart
ment OF usefulness and reputable endeay
or as to attract the attention OF the
Who's Who editors; and that only II
self taught men succeeded.
-. That boy with only common
school education had. in round numbers.
one chance in 5000.
%. That a high-school training in
creased this chance nearly twenty-five
times.
81. That college education added
gave the young man about ten times the
chance of a high school BOY and two
hundred times the chance OF the boy
whose training stopped with the COM
mon school.
"5. That the A. b. graduate was pre-
eminently successful and that the self-ed-
ucated man was inconspicuOus."
An interesting array of the facts
with an important conclusion are
found in the following paragraph:
''The more | reflect on Southern lead
ership before the war, the more aston
ishing does it seem. There We're then
four classes: /. An aristocracy O. Wealthy
planters and slave-Owners: =. small
farmers living chiefly in the mills; ).
poor whites of the low country; 4.
slaves. The slave-owning class was
much smaller than is popular opposed,
but out OF that class the L. .lers were
drawn almost exclusively. That the
South without a public school system
could hold her own SO long in national
leadership is splendid prophecy o: re-
turning leadership when the rural pub
lie school in the South shall have been
more clearly recognized as the unit OF
progress and of power. The North was
drawing all her leaders from all the
classes while we were drawing ou.s from
one class Albion W. TOurgee declares
in His Fools Errand that leadership is
innate in the South. | beg you to re-
member, however, that only education
can take an innate quality and make Ct
an effective force

And They All Fell Down.

Gov. Jarvis started the ball. He's
attorney for the Coast Line Railroad,
but we can't say that it occurred to
him that it might be better for the
rate settlement to divert the minds
OF the legislators with the prohibit
ton question. Senator Simmons
thought it unwise to spring the ques
ton now, but seeing the tide run
ming so strong he jumped for the
very front seat in the band wagon.
Fuder the circumstances Gov. Glenn.
who probably hadn't expected to
make IL recommendation in his mes
sage, had to come out good and
strong, seeing that he is the special
champion of the cause. Glory to the
politicians. The smart ones always
try to anticipate what the people
want regardless.
