THE MODERN GIRL AT HOME
Dainty and Pretty, and All That, But Thsir Ways Would Shock
 Their Grandmothers.

The two girls had written, asking the woman to tea They wanted to meet her, to see how she looked and behaved, for some reason or other. When she arrived she found . beauti- tul studio furnished in exquisite style for one of the girls was an interior decorator She found the two girls of much daintiness and prettiness and exceedingly modest and lovely, so much so that she was half afraid to breathe in their presence, afraid she might say or do something to shock them, having lived for some years in a Bohemian set. She drank the tea they gave her and talked on different topics which she thought would inter. est young girls. Finally one of the girls, pointing to cigarette stub in an ash tray on the window sill, said apologetically:
 q suppose that shocks you awfully, doesn't 1t? It belongs to Stella. She will smoke now and then"
 The woman took heart 'It doesn't shock me so very much," said she I'd like one"
 Stella hastened to find the box ol cigarettes.
 That was why I left home" she said. My father told me had either to leave home or quit smoking"
 The other girl, in the beautiful ant dainty white lawn, with small pinl roses in 1t, arose and going to thu drawer of her desk brought out box She opened 1t and took out smal perfumed cigar.

PILED HIGH AS A MOUNTAln
Twenty Thousand Tons Of Old Iron Encompassed In Single Pile
 In San Francisco.

The largest scrap heap in the world is in San Francisco, relic Of the great fire which followed the earth luake of April, 1906. It is 40 feet nigh, 100 feet square, and contains 2N,- 900 tons, all cut in equal lengths of IS inches, and piled in one solid mass, with the sides as smooth and solid as a brick wall
 This is the only one of four heaps of equal size and proportions which remains intact in it's original size and shape, the other three having been drawn upon as the material was need ed. Many other scrap heaps are piled about the bay awaiting ship, ment, some as big as a house, and oth- CTS mere hillocks, scattered over acres of ground.
 Since the fire one company has handled 150,000 tons of this old mate. rial. It has six large shears in op. eration to cut the iron and steel either that it may be better handled for shipment or for the furnace, says the Iron Trade Review Little of this scrap Is used in San Francisco the bulk of 1t being shipped to the Atlantic coast or to European ports.

He was a bright young lawyer, but very bashful in the affairs of love though he was deeply in love with . young woman who was celebrated among her friends for her repartee. The only obstacle in the way of the young man was his exceeding shyness for, while always in perfect command of himself in the courtroom. he be came almost speeches. in the pres ence of his adored one. AS one method of showing his affection, 1t was his custom to shower her with presents.
 The mother of the young woman was not at all satisfied with the status of the case, and spoke to her daughter about the matter

Mr. Blaine to Nc. eIaas,on..


The Hon. James C. Blaine in his celebrated

vatiOn that British interests I'm navigation -four
lshed with less rivalry and have increased in
greater proportion than any other Of the great
interests of the United Kingdom / ask his can

England has protected steadily and deternired-
~, regardless OF consistency and regardless of
expense. Nor will Mr.. Gladstone fail to note
that navigation is the weakest of the great
interests Of the United States because IL is the
one which the national government has consist
entity refused to protect.
or. as Mr.. Blaine said in his last speech IN
the United States Senate. on January q. 1891.
replying 20 Senator Beck. of Kentucky who was
arguing for free ships:
IL is n fact equally remarkable that for the

An Experts Testimony.

Mr.. J. HcnEiker HcatOn, member OF the
British Parliament. formerly British Postmaster
General. and the chief authority in Great Britain
on postal affairs. said few years ago in a
letter to the Right Honorable II. Cecil Raikes,
II. p. Postmaster General Of Great Britain:
The pOstofice ITSELF Tepudiates the suggestion
that the deficit caused BY these enormous sub
:idies should be regarded as deficit caused by
the operations Of the department The claim
that the POstOfiice Department should be
charged with the whole expense OF this packet
or ocean service must be considered as barred,
by the simple fact that few of the sail packets
were established either by the pOstofice or for
merely postal purposes. their expense far beyond
what such requirements would justify.
TO assume that these packets were really
established for postofiice purposes is 10 charge
the government with the most absurd extrava-
i;ance. The West Indian packets. for instance
were established az a cost Of E246, 900 per annum
though the utmost return that was expected for
letters was 10000. leaving 100000 clear deficit

New-York tribune., 1910-03-23


The subsidizins of foreign ships is a pol5cv
which Is seriously advocated nowhere except in
the United States. There is one line of Ameri-
can steamships running across the North At
lantic from New York to SOUTHAMPTON. These
four American steamers are the ST IOufs the
50. Paul. the New York and the PhiIsdelpbia
@O-knOt ships, conducting a weekly service
throughout the year. When this line was estab
iished twelve years ago il was the only 2O-knot
weekly service ON the North Atlantic. and a
remained the only weekly service OF this speed
for several years thereafter. There were only
two British steamships that were as fast. YET
in spite Of the fact that this American line was
performing the swiftest and hest service the
British government systematically bOycOtted
these American steamers in the matter OF ocean
mails. allowing only letters especially addressed
for these ships to be sent out By them from the
PostOffice at London. and paying a very small
rate for this service.
II the same time the British government dis
patched nearly all OF its mails BY British steam
ers Of the Cunard and other lines. all but two
Of them slower than the four American ships.
These British steamers carrying British mails
often arrived at New York two or three days
behind the swifter American ships. Ii often
happened that goods consigned to New York
merchants by tue American ships reached the
piers two or three days before the bills of Iading
sent by the slower British steamers-to the
great Inconvenience OF the business men OF New
York. who yainly demonstrated time and time
again against This excessive favOritism Of the
British government to British steamships.
IN 1905 the British government paid enly $40

stove, making it little thinner than
usual to allow for evaporation in
baking. AS soon as it Is smooth we
turn 1T into well creased pan or
baking dish, cover it and bake SLOWLY
for an hour. Cool with dish covered
to prevent top crust, and it turns
out nicely to slice. Is better than the
old way and saves so much time and
strength.
To Use Leftover Grits.-If left
over grits are re-heated in double
boiler, cupful of hot milk and a
spoonful of sugar added, and stirred
till all are blended, they make a deli
cate breakfast cereal. If one has no
double. boiler. it can be prepared in q
sauce pan, but care must be taken or
it will scorch.
An Appetizing Pudding may be
made from leftover grits by the addi-
ton of enough sweet milk to make
quite thin, sugar for sweetening (the
necessary amount can be determined
by tasting) and cup or half cup Of
raisins, according to the size of pud-
ding, and a flavoring of lemon es-
sence Bake slowly for an hour.
No one who eats of it for the first
time. would suspect that it was made
of so common thing as grits.

TO the height of the user. PERHAPS
there is no kitchen convenience
which gives greater returns for the
outlay of so or IS cents than this
one piece Of furniture.
There are many useful inexpen-
sive utensils-the steam cooker
bread mixer. food chopper, potato
masher, egg beaten, measuring cup
costing few dollars or a few cents.
by means of which, in the hands of
a thinking housewife, much labor
may be saved and which, because
OF their moderate prices, should be
part of the kitchen equipment.
have already suggested that no
sort OF appliance. however useful,
VIII take the place Of plan and sys-
tenn in the management OF a home.
Undoubtedly the excessive fatigue
at the close of long day devoted to
house work Is very often due to
unnecessary steps. unnecessary ex-
penditure OF energy which could
easily be obviated by n little fore
thought and plan.
