EnameIIna.

The process known as enamelng is
not Of modern origin. On the con-
trary. it goes back to venerable an
tiquity. If you win read up on the
subject you will learn that excellent
enamel is still preserved on some of
the bricks that have been found
among the ruins of old Babylonia and
Assyria, which have been placed back
as far as the seventh or eighth CEN

air thus drawn into the flame is only
about three times that Of the gas,
whereas, for the best effect, the ration
should be five to one. 1t has been
found that by compressing the gas in

can be caused to enter the flame. One

COMFORT IN HOT DAYS
WELL TO LIVE OUT OF DOORS
WHEN IT IS POSSIBLE.
Screened Porehes VIII Help Much to
Get Away From the III Effects Of
the Hsat-open Air Sleeping
Places the Best.

Most Of the advantages Of camping
out may be enjoyed at home by those
who live in houses with grounds about
them. When the family owns a tent
1t may be pitched in the yard early in
the summer and the children may be
allowed to sleep there whenever they
wish, weather permitting The bed
ding should be brought In whenever 1t
rains, and kept we'll aired. An old
bed spring and a mattress or old cots
provide satisfactory sleeping accom-
modations. Dark outing flannel pa
1amas are the best sleeping garments
for camping out, and they should be
provided for all the children regard
less of sex
The next step is the screening Of
the back or side porch. An ordinary
kitchen table should be moved out
there and there the family may eat
their meals in comfort in hot weather.
They may even spend the evening
there In comfort. In the morning the
mother may do most of her house
work there. 1t is possible to wash
alcohol stove. which costs a quarter
and which is now part of every camp
ing outfit. The stove must be careful
ly used. but 1t accommodates a single
iron with safety and convenience.
The same little stove will make 1t
possible to let the range fire go out
early in the afternoon and stay out. 1t
is quite possible to cook the single hot
dish which is enough for the summer
supper on the stove. Toast may be
made before the fire goes out and then
warmed on the place which covers the
dish In which milk tomatoes or cream
ed meat is being warmed to spread
over It, Breakfast may be simplified
to coffee or milk for the children,
cereal toast or rolls.
The up-to-date camping party takes
along a flreless cooker to supplement
the camp fire and alcohol stove. and
this the housekeeper should never be
without 1t will make It possible to do
the afternoon cooking without the
range, even when a full meal is to be
served, for the water for tea or cof-
fee may be prepared on the alcohol
stove
The mother should spend every mo-
ment she can out Of doors. It is easy
to keep a rocking chair on the screen
ed porch and shell the peas and peel
the potatoes there. and the baby will
be safe there all Of the time provided
the door is fastened AS a matter of
fact, he should take his nap out there
all the year round except in rainy or
very cold weather.
The sewing machine may be wheel
ed out for afternoon use, and hand
sewing should also be done in the
open air. There Is no particular vir-
tue in the camping tent. The outdoor
air is quite as accessible at home as in
the woods.
The screened-in porch may be a
blessing, not only by day, but also by
night. Its roof, If slanting, may easily
be built up level and provided with a
board or canvas roof 1t should then
be screened in like the lower story
The advantage of such an outdoor
sleeping place for delicate child OF
older person might be very great.

When box of sardines is opened
It should be drained Of all oil possible,

should be drained again before serv-

The Waynesboro Advertiser is a
recent conner to our exchange table.
Its only about a couple of months
old. c.. w. McMaster is he whose
name is elevated at its masthead.
It's a six column quarto, outside
ready-print. Waynesboro has rep
utation among the newspaper men of
Mississippi as having furnished the
graves for about as many newspa-
pers as any other town in the state.
Journalism has indeed a changeful
career IN that county seat town,
which is really in the class of what's
known as a one-hoss newspaper town.
Where such a situation is occupied
by two papers one or the other has
sooner or later to turn its toes to
the daisies.

raised in the state of Mississippi to

In the winding-up article on the
Legislature in his paper the Magno-
liza Gazette, Senator Joe Norwood
states that among the bills which
had to go over till the next session,
account the haste to adjourn, were
a number looking 30 the reformation
of judicial procedure in the state,
which is confessedly, as Gov, Brewer
stated in his Inaugural address and
has been pronounced from one end of
the state to the other by the press
and Judiciary, woefully anticipated,
being based upon the common law Of
England as it existed over a century
ago. England has shorn off excres-
cences from the selfsame thing from
which we took our model, while Mis-
sissippi is still struggling along with
the Outgrown garment. We trust
that Joe will lead off in a discussion
in the interest of the best features
of these bills in order that such a
strong sentiment may crystalline for
their passage before the reconvening
of theLegislature, as to render further
delay impossibles The whole country
is tired of this multiplicity of technic-
alities whereby the main business of
the courts can be retarded and often
it's verdicts overturned by such tri-
fes, which barnacle the law, or stand
out as snags to trip up the courts
findings. Lets not have anything
too radical, but lets bring court
practice into keeping with present
day affairs.

A UNIQUE PARTY.

How to Give a jolly Hurdy Gurdy
Dance.
The quaint hurdy gurdies which
have so long been the delight of city
children and the despair of the fas-
tidious music lovers are in danger of
becoming fashionable. \ hostess at Il
summer resort hit upon this novel
manner of furnishing music for her
guests to dance by.
SO successful did it prove that other
hostesses quickly followed her exam
pie, and the hurdy gurdy, with its soft
voiced Italian owner. was greatly in
demand. Young people danced until
nearly dawn to the alluring strains of
1.-THE Pink Lady" and the fashionable
rhythm of "The Blue Danube
1t is proverbial that youth never
tires of dancing. and apparently hurdy
gurdies never tire of playing. The two
are equally matched. for the hurdy
gurdy man stops only long enough to
change his tune. while youth stops only
long enough to catch its breath. The
hurdy gurdy simplities things i'm

wish to entertain deliberately. 1t mt
once knocks pretension in the head
and does away with the eXcruciating
torture inflicted by the sometimes in
competent musicians who play for
dancers.
For the hurdy gurdy has the advan-
tage of really keeping time. and that
is more than can be said of the aver
age musician.
One has only to engage the hurdy
gurdy man. turn on the lights. move
the furniture and give an informal
dance.
Promptly at the hour the picturesque
strolling Italian with his hurdy gurdy
arrives. 1t is tenderly taken from its
wheels and placed in a corner of the
hall, and Immediately he plays on and
on with never a sigh nor Il complain
ing word until dawn unless you stop

Pillow of the Italian Peasant.

to make her wedding rousseau. Thence

bride she makes a bag of fine muslin
This she begins to fill with rose leaves.
Each year adds its share. When she
dies. perhaps an old woman full OF
years, it is this rose pillow that her
head rests on. In this calm acceptance

AIRSHIPs AS SCOUTS.

The naval possibilities OF the
aeroplane are, in my opinion.
great. In past naval wars on
a great many occasions the aero
plane would have been OF the
greatest possible service to the
commanders Of contending fleets.
Suppose. for instance. that Ad-
miral Schley had had an aero
plane with competent opera
tor at his command when he
was trying to locate Spanish
warships in Cuban waters dur
ing the war with Spain. You will
remember that Commander Blue
finally located Cervera's ships
in Santiago harbor. but it took a
hazardous journey of several
days through the jungle for him
to do it. Had there been an
aeroplane available at that time
what Commander Blue did could
have been accomplished in a few
minutes. AS yet | do not take
much stock in the bomb PROPOSE
ton, so far as aeroplanes are
concerned. but do believe they
will be of great value for scout
ing purposes generally in the
event there is another war in
which any Of the great powers
may be concerned. Then anoth-
ed thing is that aeroplanes are
cheap. and there are plenty of
men in the navy who are willing
to become aviatQrs.-Lieutenant
