The New York Legislature is consid-
ering a bill providing for the establish
ment of state farm colony to be COM
posed of tramps, who will be taken from
the road and sentenced to periods Of
service which may possibly inculcate
habits of usefulness. The tramp nui-
sance is very irritating in many states,
but there is a problem of choice between
the tramp who is rover by nature and
the wandered who is migrating in the
hope of securing employment. During
times when employment is insufficient
for all corners, the rescue missions are
overcrowded with men who stop over
during drifts from one point to another
in search of work. To punish men OF
this character with the chronic tramp
would be to do injustice.

Senator Flint of California has intro
duced a bill providing for the establish
ment on the Pacific end of the Panama
canal workings, of government steam
ship line to San Francisco and other
California ports similar to the line which
the government operates on the Atlantic
ocean in connection with work on the
canal and the isthmian railway. This
would be government ownership beyond
what was intended when the Atlantic
steamers were purchased to do haulage
for the government i'll connection with
canal operations and to carry as much
of the transisthmian railroad freight as
they could accommodate. IF private en-
terprise cannot afford to operate the
steamship line asked for by Senator
Flint the government would be steady
loser from the start.

AROUND THE HOUSE
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST
AND IMPORTANCE.
Effective Method of Drying the Sma
Articles That Are So Bothersome
To Preserve Cook Book
Laundry Convenience.

A Drying Hint.-Every washerwon-
an knows the nuisance of hanging out
large family's doilies, and other
small articles. To pin them to the
line takes time and patience
One old colored woman has hit on
plan of drying that saves her many
minutes. She had her mistress make
her long, shallow bag of strong,
white mosquito netting, with a draw
string at the top and tapes sewed at
the corners and at intervals of three
or four inches between.
When the smaller articles were
ready for hanging on the line they
were laid carefully in the bag, the
string drawn up so they would not
blow out, and the bag pinned to the
line by the tapes for the sun and air
to filter through the open meshes of
the net.
To Preserve a Cook Book.-Every
housekeeper knows how her cook
books suffer If they must be taken to
the kitchen. Some women write off
favorite recipes rather than give a
valuable cook book to careless serv-
ants.
When this is out of the question or
too much trouble, try the plan of hav-
ing a sheet of transparent isinglass
cut little larger than the book when
opened The corners can be weighted
by gluing on a heavy fiat button to
each corner. These help to keep the
book open at the desired place. In
sist upon having the sheet placed over
the open pages while the recipe is be-
ing used.
A pane of glass can be used in the
same way, but there is danger of cut
ting the fingers unless the edges are
bound with heavy paper or piece of
colored muslin.
Laundry Convenience.-A woman
who is doing over her house adding
new laundry has hit upon a plan for
indoor drying that will mean less ter
ror on rainy wash days.
Around two sides of her laundry she
has run a shelf about six or eight
inches wide, at the height of low
plate rail. Under this shelf are hooks,
any number of them, on which the
clothes can be hung when they cannot
go on the lines out of doors.
The shelves are convenient places
to stow irons, pots and pans that are
not in everyday use, boxes of soap,
and all the other odds and ends that
are so Cutlery in a closet.

through a sieve. Stir into the squash

THE roo-cLEvER WOMAN.

Man unjustly accuses woman OF en-
,oying a monopoly Of vanity, when, az
q matter of fact, no woman is any
more vain than most men, and In some
respects mere man is SO much more
vain than woman that comparison is
ridiculous. good many men spend
as much time as any belle over their
attire and the manner OF its assump-
tion on state occasions, but the real
vanity of man concerns his brains. He
likes a clever woman, but the very In
slant he suspects she is cleverer than
he, he takes fright. His vanity is
hurt. Inasmuch as awe and love are
not given to rambling leafy lanes hand
in hand. and man in his superiority
likes to believe woman dependent upon
him mentally as well as for creature
needs. the woman who is really clever
will never allow her cleverness to OBJ
trude itself too strongly upon men.
Wit is a good servant, but bad mas
ter The girl who acquires q reputa-
ton for putting on airs, or being
smart" is never popular among men.
The too-clever woman is handicapped
by her cleverness. 1t sometimes pays
to pamper foolish. egotistic man, and
use wit with discretion.

The sad plight Of an old couple
driven from the home they had given
to their daughter is pitiful testimony
TO the heartlessness OF children who
are humored. petted and pampered
into selfishness by indulgent parents.
The daughter who turns her aged par

band who borrows his wife's girlhood
savings and spends them on other
women. In each case the fault is in
fathers and mothers who permit their
children to grow up selfish. Parents
and wives who are tempted to sacri-

ware. Love is blind. and there is dan
