did he become, said Gill. that he en-
deavored to recruit committee Of pro

failed him.
Captain Lord entered sweeping de-

the Californian's log to support his
contention.
Cyral Evans, the Californian's wire
less operator, however. told of having
heard much talk among the crew, who
criticised the captains course. Gill,
he said. told him he expected to get
$500 for his story when the snip
reached Boston.
Evans told of having warned the Ii
tanic only brief time before the
great vessel crashed into the berg
that the sea was crowded with ice.
The Titanic's operators, he said,
at the time were working with the
wireless station at Cape Race, and
they told him to shut up and keep

said that the distress rockets were

@. R.-The cedar chests are the
best of any boxes in which to store
wooden garments during the summer
season, but the price is such as to
put them out of the question Of pur
chase for many. However, with care
one can get along nicely.
Garments should be clean. Every
thing that will stand soap and water
should be so treated. Other pieces
should be hung in the sunshine then
make free from dust by thorough
beating and brushing; the spots can
be removed by sponging. Hang out
for several days then wrap in news
papers. Moths do not like the
printers ink. Wrap each garment
separately. Paper bags and paste
board boxes can also be used. They
should be sealed with strips of pasted
paper. This should not be done for
ten days after cleaning. If there
were eggs left they will hatch by the
end of that time. One can also use
tobacco, pepper, camphor, moth balls,
cedar shavings or chips, and even the
dried blossoms of feverfew to repel
the moth miller, but if there is an
egg on the garment it will probably
hatch, or if miller it will deposit
eggs which will develop worms in due
time, hence one should be careful.
The egg is so small it is not easily
visible to the naked eye.
''There are three common species
of moths that are destructive to
clothes. They are not indigenous to
the United States. 1t is supposed
they we're brought here early in the
eighteenth century probably to Phila-
delphia. The Northern moth has one
brood from June to August. 1t makes
a case for itself. The Southern moth
has two broods May to June; August
to September. 1t feeds on animal
products, feathers, wool, furs, hair.
etc. The tapestry moth is scarce in
the United States and works in the
heavier stuffs such as horse blankets,
carpets, ETC."
The facts about moths quoted above
were contributed.

mothers.
1t is only a short time since May
18th was set apart to be recognized
as Mothers Day and the white car
nation adopted as the flower. James
Whitcomb Riley says: "On this day
let each of us honor the hallOwed
memory of his mother, wearing IN
token thereof the floral symbol of
purity. OF other blessings we may
have had great stores, but of that
most precious influence there was but
one"
Last year l sat in large audience
where the beautiful flower was every
where in evidence, and the wearers,
both men and women, we're in tears
as the speaker talked of home and
mother. The atmosphere was one Of
mingled love and regret One could
not look into the faces of those pres
ent without being impressed with
that idea. 1t was there that the
countenances could be read. The
mask of manhood and womanhood
was tossed aside; the faces we're as
those of little children with hearts
full of affection, yet conscious of
having done wrong. How much
better it would be il lives we're so
lived so that there could be no re-
grets. 1t is fitting that day has
been set apart in honor of the
memory but what grand thing it
would be if there could be one set
apart for pledges to honor her living.
All the signs. tears or symbols one
can give will not atone for one heart
ache or the WEAKNESS that we're once
in those toll worn hands.
On the fly leaf of Bible belonging
to a young girl of my acquaintenance
is this quotation from Lew Wallace:
''God could not be everywhere;
therefore He made mothers.
The loving mother had found the
beautiful saying and had pasted it
where she knew her daughter would
see it often, and l am sure it will
never cease to carry it's message.
o, girl readers, if you have become
careless in your treatment of her who
gave you being, begin right now to
make a change. Try to understand
her motive in all that she does. Per-
haps you think her too strict. Study
the question and see if it is not for
your own good. May be you think
she is coss. That may be true. Many
mothers are cross. That condition
is often brought about when one is
physically unable to bear the burdens
of the family, for "nobody knows the
steps it takes-but mother" Why
should mothers be oblige to pick up
after and be a slave for the whole
family? Can any one give logical
reason why she should be the drudge?
In many farm homes the men walk
in without attempting to clean their
shoes; coats and hats are thrown any
where; mother must tidy up the
house, she must get the meals and in
fact must do everything the others do
not want to do.
And there is another thing. Don't
ask mother to spend all day Sunday
in the kitchen. A clipping sent me

Up to the Man

THERE is hardly a day passes but that some man is either taken
into the penhentary or one released, his term expiring or a parole
granted. There is scarcely any comment arises from this everyday
matter. The fact that a tate prison is made for this purpose and that
me who do wrong or o wrong must pay the penalty. prevents any
unusual display.
While the police authorities keep posted o the prison records, yet
the general public knows nothing of the occurrence. Men come and
o and the daily passers o N the streets fail to realize this.
When the men are released they, as a rule. are given a heartto- heart
talk They have been given the chance to be good. to correct. their ways.
1t is simply passed up to the When one makes good the authori-
ties are the first to learn this; when ne goes wrong it does not take long
to disclose the fact, as records oil minute description are kept Its the
mar and not the prison that has the influence. If he is really a maj he
makes good: if otherwise inclined a berth is soon found in some other
prison where another record is made.
