Anchoring on a Mountain.

In this near-aviation age anchoring
on a mountain top is more or less jo-
kingly referred to as thing of the
future. The truth is that this long
has been a fact. Barring the low-draft
steamship that runs over from Mi
ami, ever liner that calls at Mas
sau, the little capital of the Bahamas,
literally drops anchor on the top of a
mountain, or, more strictly speaking.
on a little plateau less than 100 feet
from the summit Of one of the peaks
This peak is Hog island, the barrier
forming the harbor between it and
the other peak the island of New
Providence. Were the sea drawn
away this harbor. Is feet or so deep.
would be found a mere depression on
top of a mountain as high, say, as
Mount Washington. and the usual
70-foot anchorage, just off Hog is
land, a narrow plateau that shelves
on precfpitously to hundreds of faith
oms- The shelving is so precipitous
that a liner at anchor and lying at
right angles with the shore may have
one end over the plateau and the 9TH
sr over the deep sea

WOMEN BLUNDER IN EXCESS.
INSTRUMENTATION Is AS Foolish as
Painting the Lily or Gliding
Refined Gold.

To know when to stop is just as i'm
portant as to be able to begin. That
is a fact that applies just as emphatic
ally to the making of a hat or gown as
to the actions of everyday life. Many
women blunder in the wasteful and
ridiculous excess of ornamentat1on
that is as foolish as painting the lily
or gliding refined gold against which
the poet sings.
Just because a woman has bought
one dozen crocheted buttons she, If
of the laundering variety, must use the
twelve Perhaps ten can be disposed
of creditably, but the effect must be
foolishly sacrificed instead of two but
tons, and the result falls short always
of the good style.
A wish to use as much as possible
on the little afternoon frock or the
evening gown is the stumbling block
for many home dressmakers. Certain
ly there can be too much of a good
thing. If a little piece of velvet or
maline be left, keep it. Do not tack
it on the front, or wind it at the belt,
just to feel that economy is worth
while. You can use these short ends
to better advantage on another gar
ment. Better one-quarter of yard of
ribbon not in use than a gown that
has lost the fndefinable touch of the
artist The Recommendation is just
another evidence of the use of ex-
tremes, a habit that should be avoided
by all who aim at refinement and good
taste.

Wooden Beads.

A curious departure from the scin-
tillating glass forms are the wooden
beads that are in either natural color
or any shade that is delightfully."- bar
barrie in its intensity. The texture of
the wood insures a lack of luster that
hurts ones aesthetic feelings.
The wooden beads are strung on
coarse thread or string and are used
for forming g cabochon for a hat
or for draping the eastern turbans of
coarse net.
Tucks are edged with wooden beans
dyed to match the color OF the gown,
and on net, voile or chiffon the col
ored forms are decidedly effective.
Belts of raff1a are studded with col
ored wooden beads, while handbags.
linen buckles and fancy clasps are
but few of the possibilities sug-
gested to the clever ones.

The DENTISTS Joke.
touch.

At a recent dinner of the Authors
club in London to Mr.. Owen Seaman,
the editor of Punch, Mr.. Walter
Emanuel, another member of the staff
of Punch, referred to the fact that the
man with the largest sense of humor
he had ever struck was an Englishman
"a dentist. He went to him after suf-
fering long with toothache. He re-
fused to have gas, and the dentist
pulled out a tooth, leaving him with
ing in pain, and took the tooth to the
window, where he laughed quite heart

Navx,s Best Hitter.

The battleship Idaho is to enjoy for
a year the coveted honor of being the
best hitter in the American navy. A
comparison Of the shooting perform
ance of the battleships this year was
made public recently at the navy de-
partment The Idaho made a score
of 46,121. The South Carolina gets sec
ond place with 42,585. and the Wiscon-
sin third, with 40,47S.
The battleships are competing for a
trophy. their rank depending not only
on the hits OF the guns, but on their
work with mines and torpedoes. While
the target practise has been concluded
by the battleships, only a few have
done the required mining. OF these
the Wisconsin stands at the head of
those which have completed the COM
petition, with a score of 1894; the
Maryland second, with 1887, and the
West Virginia third, with 22,264.

For Salty Soup.

If your soup is found too salty, add
4 few slices of raw potatoes and cook
4 little longer. The potato will absorb
the surplus salt.
It will save time if frying pan or
griddle is wiped with a piece of old
newspaper to remove the surplus
grease before it is washed.
Some people like the unsweetened
juice of pineapple added to mayon-
naise, especially when the mayor
naise is used on a fruit salad.
Boil dried beef a few minutes in
water to remove the salt and to make
1t tender. Put the beef into hot but

An goo Shampoo.

One of the most cleansing and soft
ening shampoos for all shades Of
hair has a raw egg as the basis. The
eggs are used in various ways. some
times the yolk only, again the whole
egg; often combined with pure white
soap suds, and for very oily hair tiny
pinch of borax or washing soda is
added
An excellent mixture has a pint OF
warm rain water mixed with the
beaten yolk of egg and a few drops OF
spirit of rosemary.
In using any egg shampoo be care
full to use only tepid water in the first
rinsings.

This anchoring on a mountain ton
is more interesting than practical. 1t
Is all very well in easy weather, but
when the wind blows up 1t is no long
er safe anchorage, and the liner must
run around to South West bay. or. at
the very worst, put to sea. and leave
ashore for day or two the tourists
that are on for sightseeing. Once this
happened when the hotels were closed
and Nassau had a phenomenally cool
spell with the storm, and the sight of
the Americans roaming around the
city wrapped in blankets and other
tmprovised extra clothing, looking like
so many Indians. has never been for
gotten by the hospitable natives.
Nassau's ambition. now that it has
electric lights in the main street. is
to deepen its harbor and avoid the un-
certainties of that plateau as an an
chorage. The latter Improvement.

sary wants and roll it out the same as
you would for the regular yeast pow

MAKING OF CAKES
ART REQUIRES CARE AND JUDO
MENT ON PART OF COOK.
Very Best Ingredients Are Essential
Order in Which They Go To-
gether and Exact Care In
Measuring Important.

The old-fashioned mother taught her
daughter cake making as the climax
Of the art of cookery, especially if she
was thrifty. Nowadays girl often
starts in with cake making, perhaps
seem as expensive as formerly, when
the teacher was so loathe to see them
wasted on experiments that were more
than likely to be failures.
1t requires great care and judgment
TO mix and bake cake, greater perhaps
than is needed for preparing any other
one thing that goes upon the table.
The very best ingredients are essen
tial, and the order in which they go
together as we'll as the most exact
care in measuring them is important.
And there is more precision needed
in the baking. Though the making be
right all may ga aglee in the baking.
Sodden centers, pale, sticky surfaces,
charcoal bottoms or tough entirety
are results not uncommon when the
inexperienced make cake.
Some cooks classify cakes as those
with and these without butter, and do
not include in either class ginger
bread, waters and cookies on dough
nuts. There are yet other things that
seem to be neither cake nor pastry,
but are called either, according to To-
cality. Those cakes which have but
ter as an ingredient are perhaps the
more difficult to make, though sponge
cakes are not at all the easiest of
things to have turn out right to T.

When farmers turn to "bulling"

by trainloads are going to some of the
large trading-centers like ST. Paul and

COOLING AS EASY AS HEATING.

Now, when one comes to think of 1t.
there is difficulty in understanding
why humanity has always realized the
need of mitigating the severity of eli
mate that takes the form of cold, but
for the most part still assumes the i'm
possibility of doing anything to tenn
per heat, from which we suffer al
most as much, says New York Times.
At less expense than that by which
houses are warmed in winter they can
be cooled in summer, and. while the
winter heating, thanks to our strange
refusal to learn the art OF ventilation,
involves the creation of conditions in
furious to health, those which sum-
mer cooling would establish would
probably be in every way beneficial to
us. At any rate, the thing is per-
fectly practicable. OF course, II
adopted, it would add to the cost OF
living, but 1t would also increase the
general stock of available energy,
which would mean an Increase OF
earning power to a more than COM
pensating degree. Not much of a re-
frigeration plant would be required to
bring the air of a bedroom to a tenn
perature in which sleep would be re-
freshing. instead of impossible or ex-
hausting, and the wonder is that the
rich and the well-to-do, at least. do not
