TO wrestle with the chemistry Of the mix

But what does the woman Of to-day
care FOR tradition or for the consensus of
opinion Of the benighted old-fashioned
housekecpers? Nothing. She goes ahead
and does things as she chooses: In what

and her sister down the road, and have
been greatly entertained by their descrip-
ton Of their housekeeping. They always
divide the cooking. Susan does the mix
ing and Mary the baking. Mary says she
simply can't make pie crust. susan says
she simply can't bake anything in that old
stove. So Susan mixes up big bowl OF
dough. sets it I'm the ice chest. and when
Mary gets ready she comes along and finds
some fruit and makes the pie. They do
the same way with cake and roasts ana

CHILDREN'S CAPTAINS
They Teach Little Summer Visit
ors to Swim and Sail Boats.

From Maine. through Massachusetts and
all along the Sound are old salts who are
known as the childrens' captains, because
they have. ever since natives or summer
visitors could remember, taught the chill
drcn of the latter how 10 swim and sail
boats and year after year they are en-
gagged by the same families TO look after
the youngsters. The summer people
usually hail from the inland towns or
from the sterner brownstone fronts OF
some city. and the delights OF the seaside
are manifold TO both the small boy and the
small girl. the terrors OF their parents

judge Watson turning again to Mr..
Burgess.
/. Guilty" answered Burgess, but
his voice was swelled by the shout of
II others. Unversed in the law or
forms o. murder trials the jurymen
had no. specified what degree Of muir
der. Asked what degree, Mr.. Bur
CESS answered simply, guilty as in
dicte6." Under Virginia practice mur-
der is presumed to be second degee
unless otherwise specified. It was in
cumbent On the jury to fix the degree
so Judge Watson addressed the jury
men to confer again on the point
and seven minutes later they con-
formed this time with the verdict OF
murder in the first degree"
The prisoner stood erect and mo-
tionless. His face, in color yellowlsh
green throughout the day, was i'm
mobile
The light of the lamp cast dreary
shadow on his upturned chin as he
faced the jury His eyelids sagged but
did not blink. In steady gaze he fast
ened his eyes on the faces Of the II
men who had pronounced his punish
ment as if to penetrate their minds
and determine the reason why.
1t was not a resentful expression
however, and when the court asked
if the pisoner had anything TO say he
answered: 81 have nothing to say.
Then he sat down.
The perfunctory motions for new
trial were made by counsel for the
defense. The usual granting of per
mission even to argue the point wa:
denied, as Judge Watson, in a sterr
voire declared that all rulings Of thu
court were on comparatively unim
potant details and in no way coult
have influenced the verdict. A sta!
OF execution Of 80 days was granted
however, in order to give counsel al
opportunity to apply for writ Of errol
when the court of appeals meets II

CLAIMS TWO MORE VICTIMS.
Aeroplane Tank Explodes Killing
Two in Mid Sir.

Two more names were added to
the long roll of persons killed this
year in aeroplane accidents. Lieut..
Newman, a German military aviator,
started from Mulhansen, Germany,
Thursday morning in the direction OF
Strassburg, carrying a passenger M.
Leconte, French aeronaut. The
aeroplane hardly had gone Is miles
when the gasoline tank exploded. The
report of the explosion was audible
fora distance of several miles. The
machine dropped at Blizheim from
an altitude of 60 feet and both avi-
ators were instantly killed. Their
skulls were broken and they were
frightfully injured about the body.
