| to Monhegan, the second, which we have
| Just outlined, went as far as Cape Cod; the
third brought him, after a six days pas
sage, to the mouth of the Kennebec where
his vessel came very near to shipwreck
amid the currents which are peculiar to
this place. Says Mr. Sylvester: ''His stay
here was brief, as his destination was the
Cap Blanc OF the preceding year, and it
was from Malabarre, the Cape Cod coun-
| try, on October 2S, that they sailed for
| Port Royal for the last time. 1t was on
this last voyage that Champlain tasted the
wild grapes OF the Isle of Bacchus and
found them good. On his return he seems
to have sailed across the mouth of the
| Kennebec without stay"
| This comprises the substance OF Cham-
plains three voyages down the gulf OF
Maine, General Brown, in his book al
luded to, says that Champlain was the
| first explorer of the inner Kennebec
waters. His three voyages are the first
| thoroughly Ineligible contribution to
the cartography of Maine.
Touching the story OF Champlain OF the
killing Of the savages, the verification lies
in the well-authenticated story OF the abb
auction of the Ave savages who were car
ried to England as the first New World
freight Of weymouth's "Archangel".
OF course, there is no need to call our
readers attention to the very lively his
torical controversy which has arisen oveI
the Weymouth voyage. Whether he
sailed up Georges river or into Boothbay

Too Much Care.

The first baby receives too much
care, but the second one does not get
the proper amount of attention, is
what mothers tell us. One physician
bluntly states that half the first ba-
bies are washed to death and that
over-attention does more real injury
than neglect. The very young baby
is often bathed every morning and It
takes all of his vitality to rally from
1t. Just when a healthy sleep is
claiming him, he is fed, then trotted
a while and probably his dress is
changed and If he happens to cry
through this series of torments, he is
given soothing syrup. The best ba-
bies are the clean, healthy little fell
lows that are we'll fed, tenderly cared
for and allowed to sleep. The first
six months of chNds life, he sleeps
almost all of the time, If not i'll or
bothered. For almost all ailments,
the body should be we'll creased. This
cures a cold and II allays the skin
eruptions that so frequently occur
II is very injurious to give soothing
syrup and children dosed with drugs
will, in time, refuse to sleep without
the usual dose. Often child will
cry because OF cold feet. The long
clothes should be wrapped around
the feet and a tiny hot water bottle
can be placed in the crib, but it
should be removed as soon as the ba-
by is asleep. A mild bath with soda
In the water will allay itching from
skin eruptions and high fever is re-
duced II warm bath containing vine
gar is given. Never adopt fads for
making ire baby strong and do not
lift him by the arms or permit him
TO sit erect when he is too young. A
child / saw this summer was terribly
dishgured with crossed eyes, yet he
had beautiful eyes when born. His
mother admitted she caused the trou-
BILE by placing him in the sunshine
to keep him quiet When a child
grows old enough to eat cereals, the
food should be cooked at least four
hours. and six, hours is not too long.
Often the cereal diet, though IT is un-
dispptably good, is the real cause for
stomach troubles, because the ce-
reals are not properly cooked. In
what may be delightful food for one
considering baby food remember that
child, may be injurious to another.
The nervous child is quickly soothed
TO sleep II given warm bath and If
the spine is massaged downward DO
not rock a baby If there is any hope
whatever OF getting II to sleep on
bed The temptation is to rock sing
and pet a baby to sleep, but this only
leads to future trouble and there are
other expressions OF love for the
helpless baby beside Unnecessary
cuddling

To Starch Linen Collars.

To properly starch fine linen collars,
the plain or eyelet ones, they should
be carefully washed and dipped into
boiled starch made with lump starch
(never -four. To the starch add a
bit Of borax (this tends to stiffen the
linen) and also small piece of sper-
maceti, which can be cut from a clean
candle. Boil together and strain
through a thin cloth. When the col
lars are dripped into the thick starch,
rub the pieces between the hands to
blend the starch into the pieces. When
dry, make clear starch by diluting
cold starch with cold or tepid water.
Put a drop of blueing in this starch.
Dip the collars Wiring them very dry,
roll them tightly in a towel, and no
not iron for one or two hours, until
the towel has absorbed as much of
the moisture as possible. Lay a col
lar upon clean sheet, stretch It in
TO shape press out the wrinkles with
the hands and wipe both sides TO take
off the dry starch which will adhere
TO the surface. Press lightly on the
wrong side with a warm iron. turn
the collar and with clean handker-
chief or white colth, press the wrink-
les from the right side, then iron the
collar from the bottom or lower edge
toward the top, or from the top toward
the bottom, but not lengthwise, as
that runs crosswise wrinkles I'm the
material. Button the first collar to-
gether or round II under the iron and
then close II with collar button and
place on paper or towel near the fire
TO dry. Iron the next collar and fin
ish all Finish the other ironing, then
polish the collars Dip a cloth into
clear water, slightly dampen the right
side of the collar and rapidly iron,
with considerable pressure, across the
collar, A polishing iron has a rounded
edge which acts the same as a polish
ing roll It should be pressed hardl
against the material and moved rapid
~ back and forth until the polish ap-
pears A collar can be dampened a
number Of times to assist in the pol
ishing process. This Is a simple meth
cd of doing home laundry work which
is as good as the best laundry work.
When linen collars grow yellow, soak
them in a solution of jayelle water
wash in strong suds, rince and dry In
the hot sun. aJvelle water will rot
linen unless IL is thoroughly washed
from the material.

One evening while he was at q bnll nj
the American embassy Mt Rome the
orchestra struck up the waltz 10 which
he had danced with the Widow Ballou.
He was standing in dream Of that
one dangerous dance OF his life when
suddenly an arm was laid upon his
shoulder. His own passed involuntarily
around n waist, and he was whirled
away. Again he was in the tolls Of the
witch
When they rested. the game had
been played to finish and the widow
had won. Paul Debonalr had surren-
dered while they whred. She led him
captive back to- America. and the
haunts that had known him knew him
no more. Every one said what a pity
to spoil so delightful a bachelor by
making a married man Of him.

The Energy Machine.

The possibilities OF the energy ma
chine invented by Prof Francis Gano
Benedict, Of Boston, are interesting to
contemplate. One function of this de-
vice is to determine the amount of
vital energy created by different kinds
OF food, Another Is 10 determine the
tax on vital energy resulting from
different kinds OF effort, internal as
we'll as physical. Stomach, muscular
and nerve systems and brain are alike
subject to tests OF the incest exacti-
tude. The person under examination
Is confined in copper-llned room or
cell, fitted with apparatus whereby
heart action, respiration and muscular
exertion are recorded and degrees
and causes of fatigue, both of mind
and body, are gauged and determined.
BY these means the effects of work
and diet of all kinds may be ascer-
tanned and the origin of brain fag,
nervousness, lassitude, exhaustion, in
somnia, dyspepsia and countless other
ills is readily traceable. II the ap-
pliance accomplishes what is claimed
for 1t, Its, value as an accessory to
medical science cannot be too highly
estimated. The prospect is, in fact,
that medical treatment will be largely
superseded, mechanical analysis maxi
ing Z easy for sufferer TO procure an
exact diagnosis of his case and to
learn the precise course which must
be followed to repair the mischief.
The Benedict invention, however, is
stlll only In the experimental stage
and more convincing demonstration
is needed before it is safe TO hail II
as affording a literal panacea.

IN DEFENSE or NE LEMON.

II is a base slan0er on useful fruit
to make the lemon a symbol for dis
aereeableness. One fruit which the
ordinary housekeeper could not afford
to dispense with is the lemon.
AS a cleaner, a beautifier, and a
health bringer nothing equals It; and
the woman who does not give the lem
on place on her toilet table. among
her scrubbing paraphernalia, and on
her daily menu, shows she is unknow-
ing in modern ways.
DO you want to remove stains from
unvarntshed wood? Nothing will do
1t more quickly than to rub the dis
eoloration with the half of lemon
with which a little salt has been mix
ed
The same combination OF lemon and
salt will conquer ink stains II put on
soon enough. This refers chiefly to
white materials. as the acid is apt to
remove colors.
If silver has grown discolored or
stained, rubbing Il first with lemon
and later with alcohol and common
whiting, mixed. will give It a high
luster.
Lemon Juice mixed with olive oil in
the proportions of a tablespoonful OF
the former to three tablespoonfuls of
the latter makes an excellent substi-
tute for furniture polish.
Even more indispensable is the lem
on on the toilet table, 1t is as good
and cheaper than manufactured arti-
cles for removing stains from the nails.
Rubbed on the hands several times a
day, its Juice whitens and softens the
skin, and few drops squeezed in the
tooth mug makes a refreshing and
cleansing gargle.
Fewer persons know of its benefits
as hair cleaner. II thin cloth is
placed over the half of a ler1on and
the surface rubbed thoroughly into
the scalp, all dirt and dandruff will be
quickly washed out. There is but one
danger in this treatment-with dark
hair there is a possibility of bleaching.
As a shampoo for gray hair the lem
on is unrivaled. 1t gives lovely sill
very tint
Nothing beats the lemon as a rem
edial agent. It's daily use saves many
doctors bills This does not mean in
the form of lemonade. for the sugar
creates acid. The fruit should be used
without sugar, half lemon TO glass
OF water.
Taken each morning upon arising,
this lemon and water help TO over
come a sluggish liver and are excel
lent in keeping down a tendency to
too much flesh. II one is very stout
it may be taken three or four times a
day, with no Injurious effects.
This lemon and water treatment has
been found to be cure for malaria
in many instances, and is much used
in the West Indies as a gargle for sore
throat. It can be safely taken even
by those with a tendency to acidity.
As a garnish and iavoring the lem
on needs no introduction to the ordi-
nary housewife. Raw oysters or tea
without slice or section OF lemon are
now as unusual as julep without its
mint.

Porter, colored, was first shot with a

deep, fatal gashes by Elmer Hayes and

white men, at Ridgely, Tenn, Satur-

trouble was brewing in the little town

were not capable of handling the sit

started, and upon his return he gave
