A French author. M. Loze, has again
brought up the question of the prob
able duration Of the British coal fields.
Assuming that the prosperity and
power OF Great Britain depend upon
her supply Of coal. he thinks that the
end OF Britain" is due within the pres
emit century. He fixes the date 1850
for the complete exhaustion of the at
tainabls supply of coal In the British
Lslas.
To this statement reply is made
that Monsieur Loze has failed to take
account of recent Investigations prov
ing that mining can be economically
carried on at much greater depths
than 2,000 feet-the limit assumed by
the French author-and consequently
the British coal supply will last In
definitely longer than his calculation
shows.-Harper's Weekly.

Hanqed In Yellow Ruff.

An instance OF q fashion being ex-
ttnguished by exhibiting it on a GRIM
inal was seen In the execution of Mrs.
Turner. who was hanged at Tyburn
November IS, 1915, for being con-
cerned In the murder of Sir Thomas
Overbury. She was the inventress of
yellow starch, and Lord Chief Justice
Coke, in prOnouncing sentence. told
her she had been guilty OF the seven
deadly sins, and as she was the origin
ator of yellow starched ruffs and cuffs,
so he hoped she would be the last to
wear them. He gave orders that she
should be hanged in the garb she had
made 80 fashionable. and she was the
last to wear It.

A blister is almost sure to form
from a burn If 1t is not taken care of.
To avoid it, mix quickly equal portions
of olive oil and the white of an egg
and apply to the burn. Then cover
with a piece of soft linen. Bicarbonate
of soda is more quickly obtained, and
Is almost as good. Put OF the burn
dry, cover with a cloth and then keep
wet. A bad blister, II covered with
one pei cent. solution OF carbolic acid
on a piece of linen and kept on for
a day or two, will disappear with NO
scar and little pain.

Summer Clothes In Winter.

Each year the demand for winter
underwear grows less" said a haber-
dasher. Men are getting more and
more to wear the same weight Of I'M
derwear the year round. And why
shouldn't they? The temperature in
which most men work, the steam
heated office buildings, is about the
same In winter as in summer, and for
outdoor wear a mar has heavier out
er garments. It's a move In the right
direction. Men don't wrap themselves
up like mummies any more. Several
years ago, when neck muffiers were in
vogue, every other man you met in
winter had a cold. Now you seldom
see q man with even his coat collar
turned up, and he is better for It,"

HON0RED BY THE BEDOUINS
Solemn Ceremony by Which Homer
Davenport Became Brother Of
Prince Akmet Haffez.

Homer Davenport went into the
Syrian desert to buy Arabian horses,
and there he met Akmet Haffez. prince
of the Bedouins. In the bohemian Mr..
Davenport describes the high honor
conferred on him by the prince:
And at last, as though he we're yet
afraid that he had not shown enough
friendship to his American friend, this
big-hearted chief conferred on Mr..
Davenport the highest honor within a
Bedouin's power. Mr.. Davenport gives
the following vivid description of the
queer ceremony;
81 hope to succeed In impressing the
reader with the very fine nobility Of
character of Akmet Haffez. My
friendship with him and my admira-
ton for him began at our first meet
ing in Aleppo, and each day made
both stronger. And now l was to
come into close relations with him.
The morning after the mare became
mine we were to start on a visit to
Sheikh All, and Just before We mount
ed / went through the ceremony
which made me his brother.
Neither of us had brothers, and SO
we agreed to follow out the old Gus
toms Of the Bedouins and take the fra
ternal pledge. / first treated the mat
ter q little too frivolously, but the Be-
douins were very solemn.
Standing at one side OF the tent, in
the presence of many witnesses, we
held up our right hands and with our
left clasped together repeated the
pledge. Akmet Haffez began with the
words: Wallahl Wallah!' co God!
My God!) which l repeated after
him. 'Wallah Wallah!' and then to-
gether we said them over and over
again.
"'Biliah! Billab! Tillah! Tlllah!'
chsnted the old Bedouin 'Akhwan,
akhwan, ell yom wa bookra wo l'al
absd. akwan.' CBy God and through
God. brothers. today and tomorrow
and forever, brothers!D
Il felt nothing of frivolity now, and
as l grasped his hand and took the
oath, my eyes were moist, After 1t
was over, he asked how l felt now
that I wss the brother of an old man
who ate with his hands. | replied
that | felt no change; that we had ap-
parsntly been brothers, w~hereupon he
began to cry.
Who knew, he asked, but that we
had been through a similar ceremony
that God himself had performed CEN
turies ago on come other planet2"

Champalno.

History records that, at the corona
ton OF King Wenceslaus in the four
teenth century. champagne" was
used; but this wine was not the cham
payne that we know today. Cham
payne was, indeed, noted for its wine
as early as the sixth century, accord
Ing TO the Testament Of st. Remi,'
but not for champagne wine In the
modern sense. The vineyards owned
by Henry VIII. of England, by Pope
Leo x. and Henry TX. did not produce
sparkling wines. The methods Of man
ufacturing these were discovered by a
monk Of the abbey Of Hauvlllers. who
died In 1878. 1t follows, therefore,
that champagne is but another of the
cheering beverages for which the
world has to thank the church.

ouakers AGAINST Military Service.

Australian Quakers are up In arms,
to put it paradoxically, against the
new commonwealth compulsory mill
tary service act. They have just held
g convention in Sydney and decided
that, while as citizens they were pre-
pared to render any duties hat the
state rightly demanded by the civil
authority, they could take no part I'M
der military direction In the universal
training required by the defense act.
Relieving that Christianity and the
practice of wal were opposed. they
regarded compulsory military service
as contrary to the fundamental ten
cts Of their religion.

BREADS.

For those living in the country OF
small towns, where fresh compressed
yeast cake is not obtainable. the fol-
lowing method of making bread Will
be found most satisfying, In fact it Is
used by many city households. who
prefer 1t to any other:
Cook six medium-sized potatoes in
water to cover; mash and strain the
potato and water In which 1t was
cooked over four taHespoonfuls of
-four, four tabiespoonfuls of sugar, a
tablespoonful of salt. Steep a packed
tablespoonful of hops in a cup OF
water; pour this water over the other
ingredients. add q quart Of water, and
when the mixture Is luke warm add a
yeast cake that has been softened In
a little water. The yeast Is now ready
for bread.
About two hours before the bread Ia
needed, prepare the sponge, use a cup
or cup and a half Of the yeast mixture,
adding more salt and some shorten
ing, with -four enough to knead as soft
as 1t can be handled. knead ten min
utes, make into loaves or buns and
when light bake without further knead-
ing.
This bread is so simple to make, so
good in favor and one can prepare It
on short notice. that every housewife
should keep some Of the yeast on
hand.
Graham Bread-Take three cups Of
graham -four, two oups Of sour milk,
two t~easpoonfuls of soda, two-tbirds
Of a cup OF dark brown sugar, a pinch
OF salt. Mix all together and bake one
! hour in a slow oven.
Brown Bread.-Three cups of grer
ham -four, two OF white -four and one
Of cornmeal, a half cup Of sugar, a
t~easpoonful of soda, two t~easpoonfuls
Of salt, two cups each of warmed
sweet milk and two of water; add a
compressed yeast cake. beat well. put
in tins at night, cover air tight. Bake
in the morning one hour. This makes
two loayes.

| Il think the Importance of our stand
| ing before the world as anxious to give
! to the world an opportunity to test this
question in the courts is an earnest of
our good faith in attempting to keep
within our treaty obligations.
after full examination of the treaty
and Of the treaty which preceded it,
feel confident that the exemption Of
the coastwise vessels Of the United
States from tolls and the imposition Of
tolls on vessels of all nations engaged
in the foreign trade Is not violation
of the HayPauncefote treaty But
distinguished lawyers in the house and
senate differ from this construction and
the secretary Of state has received an
informal protest from the British gov
eminent that the contemplated legisla-
ton is a violation Of her treaty rights.
II am sure that 1t is not the inten-
ton Of congress to violate the Hay
Pauncefote treaty or to enact anything
inconsistent with its provisions, and
that 1t certainly is not it's purpose to
repeal, by subsequent enactment, the
treaty, in so far as it represents the
law Of the land. 1t is Of the highest i'm
portance, however, that this attitude
should be made clearly known to the
natlOnS OF tne world ana that we should
avoid any apparent justification for
criticism" .
Message IL Referred.
The message, after being read In the
house, was referred to the interstate
commerce commission on motion of
Democratic Leader Underwood. That
committee has adjourned for the ses-
sion. and Chairman Underwood sought
to have the bill left on the speakers
table, but the house Immediately voted
otherwise.
It's gone to bed so far as the house
is concerned was Mr.. Adamson's re-
mark. He added that he had not been
able to command quorum of his COM
mittee for the last three weeks.
There Is no disposition on the part
Of the house leader, so far as they
would indicate, to attempt to press a
resolution Of the character Of that
recommended by the president. There
was an informal conference between
Representative Sherley of Kentucky,
who talked with the president on the
subject. and others who have taken al
prominent part in Panama legislation
in the house, and the sentiment ex-
pressed was that there would be no
further legislation. and that if the
president vetoed the bill the whole \
matter would go over to the December
session Of congress.

Corn has made fair growth, and over

the crop. Pastures and aftermath in
