Democrats Not Anxious.

Il imagine the Democrats are not
anxious for an extra session. They
naturally would feel they can not ex-
temporize a revision of the tariff
schedules. The light remark that you
can prepare tariff bill over night or
in two weeks or a month, every one
knows to be utterly unfounded.
But what an extra session is likely
TO mean is constant agitation and a
continuous Investigation into the in
dustries that are made possible by
protection, and interference with their
business that BODIES no good for busi'
ness at large. The consequence is
that If any one should prevent action
on the reciprocity bin he would be in
the nosition OF helping to bring about
n condition most injurious to those in
dustrias which really need protection
"What fellows in an extra session
will not be the presidents fault. The
president is a protectionist, and ex'
meets to use the veto power, so far as
he properly maT to maintain the
party's protective principles, But it
would be a misfortune TO have this
inevitable conflict come nine months
ahead of the time when it is naturally
due"

To Preserve Peaches.

Dear Miss Doom;
I am Just starting in housekeeping and
should lk to preserve some peaches for
next year. Will You please tell me the
best method of doing 1t? BRIDE.
You are wise to store away the good
things of summer for the winters use.
Here is an excellent recipe for preserv-
ing peaches: Select large. juicy, ripe
freestone peaches. Pare. cut into
halves and remove the stones; weigh,
and to each pound of peaches allow
one pound of sugar and six peach ker-
nels. Put a layer of peaches in a bowl
or jar, then a layer of sugar, thus al
ternating until all is used. Cover and
stand aside owe night. In the morning
put the liquor in a porecelain-lined
kettle, add the kernels and bring to a
boil; then add the peaches n simmer
until tender and clear. Lift carefully
a piece at a time and put into glass
jars or tumblers. Set aside and when
cold pour over them the syrup and
cover carefully. Apricots, nectarines
and pears may be preserved in the
same name

Mrs. Hale's husband died a few years
ago leaving her a small competence
and a baby. She was up against the
bread and butter question and an edu-
cation for her child. So she studied
law.
Mrs. Hale was a bright student. She
took the course at the Atlanta Law
School and was graduated with honors.
Then she appeared before the Supreme
Court for admittance to the bar.
The laws of Georgia provide that
every graduate of the Atlanta Law
School shall be admitted to practise,
but an eagie-eyed judge discovered that
they also provide that only males can
practise. Consequently, Mrs. Hale was
turned down.
That would nave discouraged most
women. but Mrs. Hale is young, smart
and energetic. SO she betook herself TO
the state house. She has written a bill
amending tht code to permit women to
practise law in Georgia. and 1t looks as

TO MAKE BUTToNHOLES.


We have all been troubled in making
~buttonholes in thin materials. Here
is a way of overcoming the difficulty:
Hold a piece of the material on the
under side and cut the hole through
this as though it were part of the
waist.
After you have finished working the
buttonhole cut away the under cloth
very carefully, so that it will not show.
You will have no difficulty even with
chiffon If you fold the cloth two or
three times.
