miral Porter is borne in the naval SER
vice by his grandson, Maj David Dixon
Porter, of the marines, who, after serv-
ing through the Spanish war, fought
all through the Boxer troubles in
China and participated in the relief of
the guard at Picking. He was recon-

campaign, and again for his courage
in several troublesome expeditions in
the Philippines, including the march
across the Mar with Wallace in search
for the PHILIPPINE bandit leaders. He
was then young lieutenant, but for
bravery in the battle of Noveleta he
was given a captains rank. He has
been recommended for bravery in his
every engagement since entering the

the naval service.

great-grandfather and his father, Col
Carlisle P. Porter, is a retired officer
of marines. And in addition to having

The career of little Macs" son,
George B. Mcclellan, I'd, as member of
Congress and mayor of New York is
familiar to all who keep abreast of the
news. He was born while his parents
were on a visit to Dresden, Savony, in
the winter just following the close Of
the war, and after going through
Princeton he began life as a newspaper
reporter in New York. He is now forty
four.
Another civil war general whose son
and namesakS went to Congress was
Benjamin Grub Humphreys, the Con-
federate warrior. Young Humphreys,
who is the same age as young McClel-
Ian, entered the House just as the lat
err was leaving, in 1903. He had pre-.
viously served through the Spanish
war as a lieutenant under Fitzhugh
Lee. He is now practicing law in

That some aeroplanes are able to

of Leon Delagrange at Bordeaux,
France. rather strong wind was
blowing and when the machine head
ed into the wind the right wing sud
denly broke and the monoplane fell
10 the ground. This is the first acci-
dent which has occurred owing to the
collapse of an aeroplane when in the
air. However, some time ago a SINH
lar accident happened to Aeronaut
Latham. but without disastrous re-
suits
One wing Of his monoplane broke

one side and warping the remaining
wing. Latham was able to guide his
machine down in circles and bring II
safely to the ground After repairing
the wing he attached II in such a way
that when he was up in the air he
could pull cord and cause the wing
TO break off as before. He did this
and came down a second time with
the wing broken, simply to demon
strate that a broken wing did not nee
essarily mean disaster.
In the machine used by Latham the
wings are secured separately to

NEEDS EXTRA CARE
FINE CHINA DEMANDS MOST GEN.
TIE HANDLING.
Otherwise Most Highly Priced Pieces
viii Be Quickly Destroyed-The
Proper Method Of Handling
the Fragile Dishes.

The ordinary every day china may
be washed first in hot soap suds, then
in a clear rinse water, and dried with
soft clean dish towels. 1t is only the
experienced housewife who ever has
enough towels or who realizes that
there is no economy in skimping on
these wholly necessary articles. Two
dozen make a convenient number for
daily use. Those that are used should
be washed out at some spare moment
in the afternoon and hung on the line
to dry.
But to return to the china. A house
keeper should watch her maid care
fully to see II her methods of dish
washing are approved. And they gen
orally are not The m9id must receive
her education In dishwashing, and the
housekeeper should be obdurate on
this point. She should provide a hand
mop, a half-dozen good dish cloths,
which she must demand to be kept
spotless-they are too often used to
lift up sooty pans-a soap suds maker
that is, a small receptacle to hold
the odds and ends OF soap which, when
shaken in the hot water, will create
a whole painful of suds-and two dish
pans one for washing and one for
rinsing.
When the maid is educated up to
the proper standard OF dishwashing
and learns to arrange her dishes in
well scrapod piles, the plates having
been scraped with bread to remove the
grease, her mistress will find that
breakage and tear will be considerably
decreased. The maid must learn, how.
ever, and she usually does by bitter ex'
perience, that to put delicate glass
ware into scalding hot water means
death and destruction to the glass
ware. The same thing will happen II
hot tea is poured into a cold and brit
tie teacup This causes sudden expan'
sion, and the piece cracks either under
the glaze or quite through it. 1t is a
simple matter either to warm the cups
by pouring in a little warm water OF
by putting them in warm oven for q
moment. or better still, by pouring the
tea over a silver spoon resting on the
cup.
