The master of a coasting vessel
which has made the trip through New
England waters makes a grim state
ment indicative of the extent and de-
structive force of recent storms in
that vicinity. He says: "The shoals
fairly bristle with wrecks" That
whole region has an unhappy fame as
a marine graveyard" and of late ap-
pears to be living fully up to an es-
tablished reputation. Incidentally the
present conditions suggest how the
perils may be minimized, for smaller
craft at least, through the construc-
ttOn of the Cape Cod ship canal and
other links in the Atlantic deeper
waterways system.

To Clean Bamboo.

Now that bamboo furniture is used
so universally a suggestion about clean
ing 1t may not go unnoticed. This
should be done with soap and warm
water, to which salt has been added.
And the mixture must be put on with
a brush and then wiped off with clean
cloths until the article is dry and gIis-
tens. Ordinary laundry soap will re-
move the natural gloss of the wood and
leave 1t dull if salt is not added.

Chamols Gloves.

To wash chamois gloves and keep
them soft, first put the gloves on
hands, using lukewarm water and
pure soap. Wash in this lather until
the gloves are thoroughly cleansed,
then rinse in clear water of the same
but before taking OFF the
gloves cover them again with a lather
of the soap Allow them to dry in
the shape. The soap prevents them
from becoming stiff and brittle.

that the mother, through all the

younger woman might be cons dered

tor herself or become the wife of

When the daughter was born
and appeared destitute of indica-
tions of negro blood, her mother
conceived the plan of bringing
her up as a white child. The father
agreed to this plan and provided
literally for the two. The girl
proved to have an excellent voice
and her mother planned a grand
opera career for her. Most of the
little fortune of the two was ex-
pended in giving the girl musical
education. The two left Baltimore
and came to Philadelphia so that
they might escape their family
history.
But the struggle was useless.
Gussip, pieced out with a few facts,
caused the relationship Of the two
to be whispered about. Then, with

what courage and patience! For nearly

punishment and came up smiling, until
at last his work was crowned by gaining
the coveted championship. This was In
1850. when he was thirty-one years old.
Perry lost the title in 1857 by an old

It had a sorry finish. Perry had a
strong lead, but in the twenty-seventh
round when he was going to his corner
with his back turned, Paddock gave him
a vicious right on the nape of the neck
and downed him. OF course, Paddock
was properly disqualified at once.
I have taken William Perry as man
to mention in these weekly articles on
past champions chiefly on account of
his historic description. the 'Tipton

fight for championship honors.

butes. but he dabbed on the turf and was
backed for one or two of his fights by
one of the most notorious prisoners of
any time. However, as that worthy was
a race horse owner and in his day con-
sidered good sportsman, the 'tSlasher''
cannot be associated with his hacker ex-
cept in regard to the prize ring.

cooked" Because Savannah may not
have road racing next year does not mean
that the game is dead. If Savannah gives
up the Grand Prize and Vanderbilt it will
be for the reason that Savannah has de-
slded that these events are no longer
good advertising for the city. So they
will be taken elsewhere-perhaps to Attain
ia. While Savannah has had the expe-
rience and can furnish the best course in
America, there are other points in the
south that have looked jealousy on the
advertising given that city by the holding
of fhe races Atlanta is one OF these.
Among the thousands Of strangers who
visited the course were MANY men prom.
nent in Atlanta affairs. When the ru-
NOR got around that the Grand PriZa
might go begging in 1012 half a dozen ot
them began to ask about the possibilit;
of Atlanta furnishing the circuit for next
years races.
