Faded Frocks.

Some one may have a pink colt IN
or linen dress in good condition, but
badly faded. If so, put piece of Tur-
key red cheesecloth in water and boil
until the color is the desired one. The
dress will dry a bit lighter than when
wet and will leave an even color all
over, says the Modern Priscilla. One
eighth Of yard of cheesecloth is
more than enough for dress. Navy
blue cheesecloth may be used in the
same manner to freshen the color OF
a light blue dress. 1t is best to try
sample Of material in the dye to get
the right shade before putting in the
whole dress.

Captain Nat was standing at the
door Of the bedroom His face was
drawn and he had seemingly grown
years older since noon.

whispered. HE don't remember how

he nodded, returning, you come, too.

The little room, Captain Eben's own
was more like shippers cabin than
a chamber on land. In the corner
stood the captains big boots and his
0ilskins hung about them. His Sun.
day cane was there also. And on the
bureau was worn, heavy Bible.
Dr. Parker brushed by the others
and bent over the bed.

Halloo, Oracle, girl! Well, your old
uncle's on his beam ends. amt he?"
Grace glanced fearfully at his face.
When he spoke her name she shrank
back, as If she feared what he might
say. But he only smiled as, with the
tears streaming down her face, she
bent over and kissed him.
There! there!" he protested. you
mustn't cry. What are you cryin'
about me for? I'm At and ready for
the sea I'm goin' to sail" His eyes
wandered from his son to Mrs. Coffin.
For an instant he seemed puzzled.
Then he said:
'Evenin,' Keziah. don't know

that you was sick, Eben. So | come

came over his face.

From the Bureau of Education

.A rIoll u DutCd VI IuutshtlOu.
Warfare is to be ended for all time, at
least SO far as the United States Is con-
cerned. and the standard OF citizenship In
this country is to be put on a higher plano
than ever before, by a course or study
In good win which is devised for the ele-
mentary schools throughout this country.
Such, at least, is the hope Of those who
outline of the topics covered in this new
school subject is contained in a govern
ment publication just issued for free dis
trfhution by the United States bureau OF
education.
In the lower grades. according to the
bureau OF education's monograph, the
child Is trained In habits Of ~forbearance.
consideration. ~gentleness and self-control.
while in the later grades emphasis is laid
upon the principles of The world peace
movement.
Thus In the first grade the child learns
the treatment he should give his COM
panions and pets. The second grade deals
with home life; the third. with schoo and
play time, while the fourth takes up the
home town or city. In grade Eve the
course to include a considera-
ton OF the whole country; In the sixth
the child takes up good citizenship: in the
seventh he studies the world family. and
in the last he learns hat the larger pa
triotism means.
In this way the child grows I'D in tina
understanding that the good will which ha
must show his friends and parents sho,,iS
also be extended to all the Inhabitants Of
the earth. He begins by learning that he
must be KIN to animals and playmates
because he Is In constant relations with
them; then he comes to understand that
this nation should be at peace with All
others. because all nations are interde-
pendent: and this finally leads to the last
topic in the whole long course-the united
world.
The moral qualities essential to ,ha
world peace movement. such as faithful
ness. generosity, gratitude, hospitality.
fair play. honesty, and consideration for
others. are emphasized. The practical
operation OF these qualities In the field
of world politics Is shown Collectively by
consideration of such questions as: Hox
can we help our community? How car
we serve o country What have other
nations given us? What are our ohlire-
lions to them? What are the effects az
war? What are the moral substitutes for

The special message Of the president to

In the United States OF America. where
no importation OF cereals Is needed. wheat
and Indian corn being even largely ex-

10 years OF the 18th century: In 1910 the
enhancement had reached ALREADY 6tS per

not quite so astounding In regard to other
necessities OF life, such as fish. But eyen

Genuine Maple Euuar.

There are few people outside the

writer in the Country Gentleman, who
really know what the genuine article
tastes like. The superior flavor thus
spoken of is probably due in a degree
to the same causes that make straw
berries eaten OF the vine and cherries
consumed on the tree so d~electable.
