FOR POTATO SALAD
OLIVES AND MAYoNNAIsE ADD
PioUANcY TO DISH.
One Of Many Hints That VIII BE Use-
ful to the Housewife-Appetlzins
Dessert from the Hum
BILE Prune.

A quick form of potato salad Is
where the potatoes are combined with
olives and mayonnaise.
Cut up four of the former, If they
are of good size, otherwise more, into
largish pieces. Add two hard boiled
eggs, also cut up. Sprinkle with salt,
olive oil and vinegar. Fold all to-
gether and set on the ice for about an
hour or until thoroughly chilled
through. Then stir in half cup of
stiff mayonnaise, cover with what is
left. Cut some olives into rings, re-
moving the stones, and decorate the
salad with these.
When there are stewed prunes at
hand a dessert which will give no
hint OF its humble origin is available
in a few moments. Add a few drops
of orange extract to the juice, un-
less flavor has been put in while
cooking; stone, chop the fruit fine,
add dash of sherry fthe amount to
be regulated by the quantity of the
fruit, guided by taste). To every cup
of the prune pulp put two well-beaten
whites of eggs. Set away in the ice
chest to chill thoroughly and serve in
tall glasses surmounted with whipped
cream. 1t must be very cold or the
flavor is lost
Other fruit remnants can be treated
with equal success. For instance, if
there are apples and a pine available
this formula could be followed: Pare
and core apples to fill four cups when
cut into tubes. Stew them slowly in
two and half cupfuls of water and
the same of sugar. When almost
tender remove from the fire and add
four cupfuls of pineapple cut small.
Simmer until transparent, then skim
out the fruit, boil the syrup down
thick, pour it over the fruit, cool and
afterward chill thoroughly before
serving with sponge cake.
Or this: Combine one pint of pine
apple juice and pineapple cut in tiny
pieces with the same amount of
orange juice and pieces of orange
pulp, four cups sugar and Juice of one
lemon. Simmer until clear. Skim out
fruit, boil down the syrup and pour 1t
over the fruit. Serve very cold in
sherbet glasses with sweet waters or
lady fingers.
Something novel for guest lunch
con is sherbet in little jelly molds.
The combination Is a very happy one
in point of flavor, as well as in dainty
appearance. This is the rule: One
pint of apricot pulp, fresh or canned,
and Juice of one lemon. Grated rind
of the lemon and a pint of syrup
made from two cups of sugar and one
of water, cooked ten minutes. This is
| frozen like any sherbet.
For the cups make a rather stiff
lemon jelly and color little with the
natural spinach coloring extract to
give a pretty green tint. Mold in egg
cups or patent charlotte russo tins
| When firm turn out, fill the hollow
centers with the ice, which may fur.
ther be tricked out with little pyra-
mid of whipped cream or decorated
with a teaspoonful Of candied mint
leaves.

School Banks Nothing New.

Those who believe that the school
savings banks are recent thing are
mistaken, for school savings banks
have been in operation in the United
States more than quarter of century.
The first bank was opened in Long
Island school in 1885, and in the 26
years that have followed, the number
of banks has been increased to 10S. In
1910, deposits were collected in 1880
schoolrooms or stations and the depos.
itors numbered 166,525. In the years
since the first bank was established
tho total deposits have amounted tc
$4,618,7 734.96. The Withdrawals in that
time were $3,S93,63747, leaving $725.

PURSUIT OF THE TIGER
ENTAILS CARE WHICH MARKS
SPORT WITH GRAVITY.
Safety of Ones Companions Is Always
Matter of Great Concern-Dan-
ger Invests Hunt With
Fascination.

Perhaps some of the fascination Of
tiger shooting lies in the mischief that
results from bad shooting or methods.
This entails a carefulness which In
vests the sport with gravity, mark
ing It as apart from other shooting.
For first and foremost stands the
safety Of ones companions, whether
they be beaters, trackers or elephants.
"Shoot dead or leave well alone" is a
counsel of perfection which should
ever be borne in mind, even If not al
ways attainable. With the tiger lying
dead or gone away unwounded the
trouble is ended until you wish to
start 1t again. With wounded beast
afoot the trouble is hardly yet begun
save In the matter of getting beaters
and such like up trees or out of dan
gers way elsewhere.
With elephants, especially howdah
elephants, pursuit may begin at once
or be delayed, according to circum-
stances. without them an hour or
two's interval or more on occasion
should elapse before starting on what
may be a pleasant or an unpleasant
duty. according to the sportsman's
taste in these matters. But duty 1t
(nearly) always it. Wounded tigers
are not articles to be lightly left lit
tering a place.
The interval before pursuit allows
of a chance of three things-and Of
one other which must be accepted un-
willingly. The wounded tiger may die
either directly from the wound or from
the effects of drinking water on GER
tain wounds. The wound may inca
pacitate him, from loss of blood or
stiffening, for mischief. And his rage
may have time to cool down. But he
may also get clean away.
The pursuit begins. It's methods
must vary under the many circum-
stances possible. Sometimes a track
er is necessary, and he works COW
cred by rifles under the trunk of an
elephant or close to the sportsman If
he be on foot. Risk there is, espe-
cially in dense country, but with prop
er caution and precautions It is re-
duced to minimum, such as previous
reconnaissance by hawk eyed experts
up trees, stone throwing, the careful
noting Of the movements and sounds
Of animals, especially those of the
ubiquitous monkey, peafowl or crow.
The treed experts having made
good" zone, 1t is traversed and an
other started on. Sometimes If the
covert is dense and impossible and If
herd Of buffalo or even of goats be
procurable they can be driven into
particularly likely places. Although
buffalo have wholesome dislike OF
tiger. still on occasion they will face
him en- masse Sometimes they per.
form their duties rather too well, and
with horn and hoof obliterate him,
dead or alive. More usually they
cause him to move, and so give a
chance of a shot.-Badminton Maga-
zine.

Fishes Don't Need Ears to Hear.

Just because fishes haven't ears is
no reason why they, can't hear, ac-
cording to DR.. Arthur Gordon Web
ster, professor of physics in Clark UNI
versity, who recently opened series
of lectures on Sound in Speech and
Music" at the University of Pennsyl-
vania.
Doctor Webster declared that sound
is motion. 'The outside of the ear"
he said, 'is not necessary to hearing.
1t is possible to hear through the
teeth. This can easily be proved by
putting a pencil between the teeth
and holding 1t on the sounding board
of piano.
There has been much discussion
as to whether fish can hear. Some
persons have declared that fish cannot
distinguish sounds because they have
no ears, but sound is motion, and as
long as vibrations reach the inside of
fishes heads 1t makes no difference
whether they have ear orifices or
not"

CHURCHES IN PANAMA
UNCLE SAM HAS EIGHT WITH
MIXED MEMBERSHIP.
Executive Council of One Church ls
Composed Of Men of Every Denom-
lnatlon-IlIustration of Practl-
cability Of Church Union.

Although it is the common thought
that most of the men now working on
the great Panama canal have left
their religion behind them in the
states, those who live In the canal
zone, writes correspondent of the
Christian Intelligencer, know there
are many who observe the laws OF
Moses and lead the same pure lives
they did at home.
When the canal was begun and
President Taft, then secretary of war,
made his famous speech, saying: I'VE
must provide for the families of the
men who are to build this canal or we
shall have hell on earth," he was
even wiser than he knew.
Family quarters were built, many
men brought or sent for their wives
and children. and it has paid. Family
life and the presence of good, pure
women in their homes have been pow
erful influences for good.
These families coming from every
state in the Union meant that schools
and churches must be provided. Again
Uncle Sam met the need, and at every
town along the line of the canal built
sehoolhouses and churches. Teachers
were obtained from the states. Chap
lains were employed to attend to the
religious needs of Americans.
Eight chapels were built, and every
one has at least one service each Sab
bath. These are two-story buildings
with lodge rooms on the second floor.
The room on the ground floor, known
as the church, is capable of seating
about 250 people. A pulpit at one end
of the room, piano and some folding
chairs constitute the furnishings.
All authority rests in a body elected
by the people attending the church.
The executive council of the church in
Cristobal is composed of men of every
denomination. There are one Meth
odist, two Baptist, two Presbyterians,
one Congregationalist and one Lu-
theran.
The membership is made up of
those who love the Lord" Member
ship in the home church is not
changed, for no one in the zone" ex-
poets to stay long. The service is
broad, the hymns are those well
known in all denominational circles,
and altogether we afford good illus
tration of the practicability of church
union.
The audiences are interesting
There are many young couples here
just starting on their married lives
coming to the isthmus with the gold
en- mist" still about them. In the bach
rows are many keen, clear-cut faces
among the bachelors. There are s
few, very few, young ladies'; nearly
all of them are nurses from the near
by hospital, though a few are clerks
and stenographers.
In Cristobal church a social is held
once month with little entertain
ment or refreshments. These are
managed by the ladies interested and
are means of welcoming the never.
ending newcomers. AS there are nc
financial demands upon the church
(our fuel bill doesn't perplex US in the
tropics), these socials are never given
for the purpose of raising money. The
temporary feeling that prevails on the
isthmus is not conducive to an es'
tablished church, as the average
length of time men stay is but two
years.

Sending a Man to Coventry.

The expression sending to Coven-
try" had military origin, according
to the London Chronicle. 1t arose, SO
1t is said, in the days of Charles l.,
when the inhabitants of Coventry
strongly objected to any intercourse
with the military quartered in their
town, and woman known to speak to
a man In a scarlet coat was at once
the subject Of scandal. So rigid were
the natives that the soldier was con-
fined to the mess room for conversa-
tion. Thus the term sending a man
to Coventry" If you wished to shut
him from society took root on the
English language.

Manuscript of Pepys, Diary.

Pepys' library is of great interest
and value. but the six volumes con-
tanning the diary-called by its au-
thor his journal-are immeasurably
the most interesting and the most
valuable of the books preserved in it.
These volumes are uniformly
bound, but slightly unequal in size.
Although the diary was written day
by day, it is marvel of 1eatness and
looks as If 1t was carefully written out
at one time. Even in those places
where Pepys describes himself as be-
ing careless in his writing there is
little difference Wheat
