ton of forests his life work His faith

was Pinchot money that endowed at
Yale the first chair for the study of
forestry established in any American
university. He is a man Of large
means, and it is said that he always
distributed his salary among his sub
ordinates, and at various times went
into his own pocket to carry out i'm
portant work for the government. Aft
er being graduated at Yale Mr.. Pin
chot went abroad, where he studied
European methods of forest preserva-

Vanderbilt estate, Biltmore, and, after
spending four years il private life. he
was in 1897 made special agent of the
Interior Department to report on for

1t is said that prunes are greatly

the water in which they are cooked.
Before cooking canned goods place

soning must be supplied with good
fresh butter, milk, salt and pepper.
Canvas shoes may be cleaned with
soap and water if one works quickly,
so that the moisture does not pene-
trate the canvas. Make a thick lather

For refreshing dessert, partly fill

Put over each service a spoonful of

Excellent butter may be made in a
small ice cream freezer, but care
should be taken that there is not a
particle of rust in the can and it
should be polished until it shines.

The paper mulberry tree (Brous-
sonetia papyrifera) is the source Of
the famous "tapa cloth" of the Poly
nesian islands. This is a natural It's
sue and is derivedfrom the inner bark
and after being torn off In strips is
scraped with shells and beaten with
a mallet until 1t resembles a soft, f1ex-
ible paper. The individual strips are
united by overlapping the edges and
beating the fbers together until large
pieces Of the tissue are formed.
It Is said that before Hawaii was
swept with the wave Of civilization
men and women were dressed In this
natural bark cloth "tapa" or KAPPA"
The dress of the women consists Of
the pau" or wrapper, composed Of
five thicknesses of tapa, about four
yards in length by three in width,
passed several times around the waist
and extending below the knee. The
dress of the men was the "maIo," or
girdle, about a foot in width and sew
eral yards long A 'kikel," or mantle,
six feet square, was sometimes worn
by both sexes. In former years these
natural cloths were sometimes bleach
ed to snowy Whiteness or were dyed
in colors and even printed or orna-
mented usually in checks or squares.

conscious OF an unreasonable aversion
to taking those proffered tickets. But

he remembered that he, too, had
thought there must be something
wrong with voluntary offer of that
sort. But he made up his mind not
to be outdone by the success that the
other man had had with him. He con-
suited the doorman and assured him

getting their rights, and they sailed
into the house in jubilant spirits.

Attending to your own business is
about the most effective method of Re-

The average man seems to think it
lessons his dignity to admit the most

The average friendship ends in this:

The world is also improving in this

When little girl does not care for

One trouble with the man who takes

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

To avoid scraping new potatoes let
them boil for a little while until their
skins are ready to peel off, strip them
and put them into the oven to finish
cooking
Washing lamp chimneys by miners
ing them in water often makes them
brittle. A safer way to clean them
is to hold them for a few minutes
over ,steaming kettle, and then pol
ish briskly with a soft cloth.
Scraps of kitchen soap should be
saved in jar. and when there is suf-
tclent quantity they may be put into
a pan with hot water and made into a
good liquid soap.
When pressing dark linen frocks it
is just as well to cover the board for
the time with piece of dark mate
rial and thus avoid pressing the white
lint into the material.
If when boiling cabbage a slice of
bread is placed in the pot the odor
that often prevents people from using
this excellent vegetable will be almost
entirely prevented.
