New Haven, Conn.-The next expe

year under the direction of Prof. HI
ram Bingham of Yale, will not be geo
graphical as in the case of the last ex-

largely in that region where the hui

land fleet, said to be the largest single
suction digger OF her type in the
world, began operations in the harbor
in pumping material that is to be used
in the fill at the side of the Southern
Pacific east side freight depot, there
were many curious ones attracted to
the outfall of the 30-inch pipe line on
shore to watch stuff drawn from the
river bed.
Years ago fill was made on the
east side with a dredge. and opals,
agates and other stones We're pumped

Secret Union of Farmer and House
Maid in Ireland Held to Be
Binding in Law.

Dublin-Justice Kenney recently
delivered Judgment in the midnight
marriage case" of USHER and USHER,
which came before him in December
last.
The plaintiff, William Arland U.s.
sher, a gentleman farmer of Eastwell,
Galway, sought to obtain a decree of
nullity of his marriage with his wife,
Mrs. Mary usher. The petition was
dismissed.
He alleged that the marriage was
null and void owing to the fact that
only one witness was present and that
the marriage was not carried out ac-
cording to the rites and ceremonies
of the Roman Catholic church or ac-
cording to law.
The evidence showed that the mar
riage took place on April "a, 1910. Up
to that time the petitioner had been
Protestant, while the respondent,
Mary Caulfield, was a maid in the en-
ployment of his mother. After 10 p.
M. on April "a the parish priest, the
Rev. Joseph Fahy. went secretly to
the house and was taken upstairs TO
bedroom.
There he received Mr.. usher into
the Roman Catholic church, baptized
him. and then performed the marriage
ceremony between Mr.. USHER and
Mary Caulfield. The marriage was
kept a secret and a child was born in
January. 1911.
Justice Kenny held that the mar
riage was valid. His lordship said it
was clear from the evidence of the

TIMELY SUGGESTIONS.

Small pieces of toilet soap, too small
to use, should be kept in small jar,
and when sufficient amount is col
lected boil with water until dissolved.
Use this liquid soap for the shampoo,
and there never will be the possibility
of having small particles left in the
hair. This is an excellent soap for
the children TO use, and they like II,
too, especially the boy with the grimy
hands
Milk that is slightly scorched may
be redeemed by putting it into a clean
dish and letting 1t stand in cold
water
A good way to warm rolls or muf-
fms: Lay cloth in colander or
sieve, and place the rolls in II over
the teakettle; the water can be boil
ing for the tea or coffee and the rolls
heating at the same time.
Every cellar should have partition
or closet shut off from the rest, where
the potatoes, fruit and perfshabie
foods may be kept at temperature
below fifty.
most dainty dessert and one
which, IL the materials are at hand,
may be prepared in a short time is
the following: Peel and cut In halves
sufficient peaches for the number TO
serve. Whip cream, sweeten and fia-
vor and a few marshmallows cut into
quarters.
Another unusual peach dessert is
this: Place the halves of very ripe
peaches on slices OF angel cake ana
pour over sweetened whipped cream.
Do not tax the brain after hearty
meal. as the blood is all needed in the
digestion of the food; If both tunc"
tions are at work. one must suffer.
Grape fruit salad with French
dressing is an excellent digester at the
end of heavy meal, and makes an
appropriate dessert.
Asparagus is said to be an excel.
lent remedy for rheumatism; it is at
least a pleasant one, and leaves no
such after effects as many of the rheu-
matism medicines do.
When cooking beans for Boston
baked beans, always soak them over
night, and little soda added while
they are parboiling will soften the

Beans should be baked at least eight
