London. July GA long time is bound
to pass before the wounds inflicted by the
sailors and firemen's strike in England
will heal, and the political leaders, as well
as the press of England, will probably be
given plenty of chances to curse a stu
pidity which closed their eyes to every
thing but the coronation and made them
overlook the dreadful significance of the
strike.
That millions and millions Of pounds
were lost is really matter of minor i'm
portancc. England will soon get over the
material losses, but what is far worse is
this: The easily won victory has made
hundred of thousands of English sailors
and longshoremen see that they are a
power which cannot be overlooked or
neglected.
Temporarily they have declared them

Exactly the same teaching is given in
each classroom. but one Of the class
rooms is subjected to discharges Of elec-

Though the experiment is not yet con-
cluded, II has been found possible already
to report that the electrified children
have responded by showing greater men

children not so treated.

Berlin, July 29.-The Kaiser is with us
again, brimful of the energy that invari-
ably results from his annual Norwegian
cruise. which this year has been more of
a rest and relaxation from all official
work than ever before. The company on
board this year has been different in size
and composition from the usual party
that has gone north with the Kaiser on
previous trips
In former times he gathered around him
a large and very mixed group of COM
panionS, most of them representing abil-
fly and prominence in industry, COM
merCe, arts, and literature. This time he
limited his companions to fifteen, mostly
military comrades of his early years,
with admiral or two, and the officers
of his household nearest to his person.

DAINTY THINGS IN NEcKWEAR

rage; they are very vide at the top,
gradually growing narrower toward
the waist, and they may contain as
great a wealth Of handembroidery,
picturesque and unique stitches and
touches of color as the imagination
can conjure. Many Of these rutfes
have strip OF lace insertion down
the center, from which the fiounce or
rufie issues, and a stock to match
may be either attached or worn sep
arately. Tiny side pleatings are also
seen attached to imported blouses--
some Of them appear on the left side
below the bust line and add a soft
look to an otherwise severe waist.
Stir, tailor-made bows of velvet or
surah, or the popular pump bow. make
pretty finishes at the throat. Black
is always smart, but a BIT of daring
color often gives the needed touch to

COOKERY A FINE ART.

Cookery should be fine art, but,
alas. In many kitchens It is thought
Of as drudgery, and put out of the
way as soon as possible, The develop
ment and progress OF cookery has
gone hand in hand with civilization.
The more enlightened and intelligent
people. the more attention they pay
to cookery. It Is an art as old as his
tory and Its evolution is as interest
ing study as the evolution theory is
to the scientist
Did you ever think that more PEG
pie are spending all or part of their
time cooking than In any other occu-
patton?
The Importance of food selection
and preparation is the most important
single factor on which rests the
health, happiness and prosperity OF
mankind.
Cookery like all other arts, has its
laws Of proportion, or right values, its
laws OF harmony and contrast
Cookery appeals to the sense OF
taste as music appeals to the hearing
and as suns and skies and clouds Of
June" appeal to the sight,
An educated sense OF taste is as
highly gratifying as the Indulgence OF
any Of the senses and as necessary
for good digestion and physical as
we'll as mental well being.
The simple and fundamental study
Of cookery should be the aim Of every
young woman She should know wher
she has given her family wellbal
anced meal, how to feed the sick, the
aged as we'll as the infants. She
should know that climate. age, Sc,
and health should enter into the ar
rangements for the menus.
TO serve meal that Is. attractive
to the eye, satisfying to the taste ant
sufficiently noiirishing to the body
food that is digestible and the cos
Of which Is kept within reasonable
limits, is an accomplishment that an!
young woman may be proud of at
tanning.
Such accomplishment comes onl
BY hard work, study and application
but II IL worth the price many time

Honor Among Indians.


ern New Mexico, there is a Navajo
Indian who is under indictment for
n ordering white trader, but wfo
roams the reservation, practically 4
free man, with only his word of
tonor binding him to the wheels Of
the white mans justice, says the
New York American.
The Indian is Ches-chil-le-be-ga, n
full-blooded Navajo, who, a year
ago, shot down Benjamin Wetherili.
one of the best-known Indian trad
ers in the Southwest. The Indian
was in jail at Aztec, N. NJ, few
weeks, but finally he was released
without bond, after giving his word
of honor that he would appear for
trial. For months he has roamed
about the agency grounds at Ship
rock, with nothing to prevent his
escape to the distant mountains,
where he would stand good chance
of eluding the Indian police for
years. But the Indian has no
thought of escape. He has given his
word, and the word Of Navajo is
something stronger than chains or
iron bars. 1t was the recognition Of
this high sense Of honor among In
dams that prompted the authorities
of San Juan county, N. NJ, to release
hes-chil-Ie-be-ga for the white men
o. the Southwest realize that the red
rams word, once given, is never
broken.
There is only one notable parallels

dcrer who was released, after having
been found guilty in the first degree
and who was allowed to play base
hall all summer on his promise tc
return on the day of execution The
Indian returned as he had promised
and was executed with all the for
n alities of the white mans law.
