BALLAST FOR SALMON.

A Sishe1woman who sold salmon at
an Episcopal residence was unable TO
make amy sales During a period of
stormy weather. When at last she
did get an opportunity, she endeav-
orea to make up for lost sales by in
serting INTO the intestines of the sal
mon she intended selling at the Epis-
cGpal household, as many small peb-
bles as she could. Her fraud was
detected by the cook and commune
cated 70 his iUrdship. A few days
REter he met the fshwoman at his
gate.

"Ah, me lOrd," she explained,

weather like this, the salmon must

HOW TO TREAT A FRIEND
He That Gives Friend Unnecessary
UneasIness Is Less Friend Than
He should Be.

Though a friend be but the dupli-
cate of a mans self, yet there may
often happen secrets to one that may
not be convenient to divulge to the
other. If they be such as the disclo-
sure of them to a friend shall not
only not benefit him, but shall bring
grief upon him, / cannot think il an
act Of friendship to import them.
He that gives his friends uneasiness
when he needs not is his enemy, or,
at least, is less his friend than he
might be. But if in some things he
be reserved, l shall suppose it is for
his own safety, as well as my ease.

DUKE IS VERSATILE AUTHOR
Franz FerdInand's Productions Range
From Travel to Historical and
Scientific Subjects.

The archduke Franz Ferdinand,
who is reported to be suffering from
melancholia, ranks among the most
versatile Of royal authors. he made
his debut in literature nearly twenty
years ago with a volume on his trip
around the world. Like the German
crown prince, he spent some time in
India, and his travel book contains
several hearty tributes to the hospi-
tally of British officials. The arch
dukes next work was a monograph
on Radetsky, which hasirun into sew
eral editions, and this was followed
by two other works on historical sub
,jects. He has also published two vol
umes of verse and he is credited
with the authorship Of number of
articles in technical publications on
engineering and kindred subjects, in
which he is keenly interested.

to establish supply base for their dis
tribution to the country. The people of
Oregon, California. Massachusetts,,

feather men may fight at court and cap

believe the American people will soon

AFTER THE CLAM.BAKE.

The impatient automobiles have taken
the sojourners at the summer resort back
to their city life at the seashore. In the
aromatic August dusk. passionate hug
gies rush by with their freight of love.
Democrat wagons amble past, loaded
with parents and children, as easy-riding
and as unexciting as the domestic affec-
tions. The colors float majestically earth
ward on the liberty pole. Both the stores
are opened; and the loafers congregate
place of comfort; they stretch and puff
their pipes. They are not given much to
generalization; but they agree that the
bake was great success; and they feel
pleasant fatigue after their enjoyment,
and bask in virtuous sense of having
played a noble part. Meanwhile, the
women of the congregation are busy on
the hill, washing the clam-bake dishes, a
labor too hard for men. The Knotty
Single Clam-bake is thing of the past
for another twelve-month; but its inf1u-
ence will be felt throughout the year,
permeating the whole countryside like a
gentle fructifying inundation. To swamp
road and wood-path and sandy barren,
has come years supply of styles and
scandals. A thousand new anecdotes
have been caught in the tenacious New
England memory. Imaginary card cata-
logues have been written up to date with
recent deaths and births that are immi-
nent. The first steps have been taken
toward many marriages and some di-
vorces. The whole region has been
made sweet by the salty tang of clam. =

GRANT AND LEE.

In some respects there are remark able
resemblances between Grant and Lee.
Though one had old family traditions be-.
hind him and the other had not, both
were absolutely simple, democratic, and
Indifferent to fuss, parade, or show.
Both were frank and straightforward,
yet both were men of extreme reticence,
using as few words as possible and only
for the deliberate conveyance of their
purposes. Both, under a calm, if not
frigid exterior, covered genuine sympa-
thy and human kindness But one was a
man of The eighteenth century, the other
of the nineteenth, one of the old America,
the other of the new Grant stands for
our modern world, with its rough, bust
ness habits, its practical energy, its de-
sire to do things no matter how, its in
difference to the sweet grace of cere-
mony and dignity and courtesy. Lee
had the traditions of an older day, it's
high beliefs, its grave stateliness, it's
feeling that the way of doing a thing
was almost as much as the thing done.
In short, Grants America was the
America of Lincoln, Lees the America
of Washington.
Long ago Milton said that he who
would be a great poet must make his
own life true poem. Lee had certainly
no care for being great poet, but if
ever man made his own life true poem,
it was he. Grants career has the vigor,
the abruptness, the patness, the rough
ness, of terse military dispatch. 1t
fits its place and fills it, and all is said.
Lee has the breadth, the dignity, the
majesty, the round and full completeness
of Miltonic epic, none the less inspir-
ing because its end is tragic. 1t was in
deed life lived in the grand style.
Only, in these days so few people care
for poetry. -Gamaliel Bradford, Jr.

their desperate fight to maintain an i'm

For the first time in the history of this

'AGE-LIMIT' OF BATTLE-SHIPs.

Ships may not wear out, but an age
limit must be fixed for their service on
the effective list. In regard to that age
limit, opinions naturally differ. For
capital ships the German Navy Law of
1900 assumed twenty-five years as the
age-limit; the amended law, passed by
the Raichstag in 1908, reduced the period
of effective service to twenty years; the
japanese are said to be contemplating
fifteen years. Sir William H. White, K

LEES GENTLENEss.

In 1864 General Lee was inspecting
the lines below Richmond, and the num-
Der of soldiers gathered about him drew
the enemy's fire rather heavily. The
general ordered the men back out of
range and himself followed at his leisure;
but it was observed that he stopped to
pick up something. A fledgling sparrow
had fallen from its nest, and he took it
from the ground and tenderly replaced
it, with the bullets whistling about him.
AS the following incident shows, Lee
was extremely solcitous about the I'M
necessary exposure of others. Once,
when he was watching the effect of the
fire of an advanced battery, a staff Off
Ger rode up to him by the approach
which was least protected. The general
reprimanded him for his carelessness,
and when the young man urged that he
could not seek cover himself while his
chief was in the open, Lee answered
Sharply: 1T is my duty to be here. Go
back the way | told you, SIR At
another time Lee had placed himself in a
very exposed position, to- the horror of
all his officers. They could not prevail
upon him to come down, so finally Cen
eral Oracle stepped forward and inter-
posed himself between his commander
and the enemy. why, Oracle, protest
ed Lee, you will certainly be killed. ,

Sauce Hollandaise.

One-half cup unsalted butter, yolks
of two eggs, three-fourths teaspoon lemon
juice, one-fourth teaspoon salt, few
grains cayenne, and four teaspoons hot
water or cream.
Process: If salted butter is used, wash
the salt out of it in bowl of ice water.
Shape butter in a circular pat and divide
it into three equal parts. Put one part in
a saucepan with the yoke of eggs and
lemon juice; place saucepan in a larger
pan containing hot water. Stir mixture
constantly with wire whisk until ingre-
dents are blended; add the second piece
of butter, stirring constantly; as mixture
thickens add the third piece. The mixture
should now be the consistency of boiled
custard. Add the hot water or cream
slowly; add seasonings. beating constant
ly. The water in the larger saucepan
should be kept just below the boiling
point. This sauce must be kept hot over
hot water and used as soon as possible
after making.
