The cambray League and the Fall Of
the vsnetian Republic.


The League OF Cambray was the po-
htical combination Of continental Eu-#
rope In 1908 against the Venetian re-
public. which tore from the Queen of
the Adriatic" her respondent crown
and forced to her lips the cup of deep
est humiliation.
Back Of the league and causing its
formation were jealousy, ambition and
the desire OF Gripping the proud peo.I
pie. whose history was the wonder and
envy Of the world. Too powerful to be
overthrown by any single power. it
was resolved that Venice should be
crushed by the combined forces of all
Europe.
During the terrible days of Attila.
about A. u. 453, Venice was founded
out among the lagoons of the Adriatic.
where, it was felt, safety would be
found from the ravages of the HTn.
The history Of the thousand years from
the foundation of the city to the year
1908 reads like magic. Rising from the
waves. Venice became the wonder of
the world. Her navy cut the waters
or every known sea. Her merchants
were the greatest on earth. Her bank
was the financial center of the world
Her palaces. which seemed to be float
ing upon the blue waters Of the Adri-
attic. were the envy Of the kings and
queens of the continent Wealth, fash
ion, splendor-their abode was Venice.
And so for more than ten centuries
did Venice remain the glory Of the
world. the center of wealth, opulence
and power. the home OF culture and
intelligence. the hearthstone about
which sat the finest Of the intellectual
graces and Inequalities. and such she
might have remained but for the
League Of Cambray, which, with its
overwhelming forces, gave her the
blow lat Agnadello in 1907 from
which 1t was impossible for her to
recover.

Very Proud Indeed.

"Once" said a labor leader. 1.-The
garbage collectors in a small town
struck for higher pay. While the
strike was on the municipal employees
the cashiers and clerks-were called
on TO perform the collectors work
As they went about the town doing
this work. clad in high collars, patent
leather shoes. kid gloves and fur lined
overcoats, they attracted a good deal
Of attention. One old dame was heard
to say:
my goodness. the slopmen must
have got that raise they struck for.
Look what dudes they are now! And
so proud and cold like, They'll hardly

How American Women
May Keep Faces Young

The American smart woman ages
early, far earlier than the English wo-
man." says Christian Miller, F. c. l.,
the famous English health expert She
adds that our climate so exhilarates
that you over-exert yourselves and
grow old before you know iti That
same exhiliarating air dries the skin.
The skin that lacks moisture grows
pale and withered looking and soon
forms wrinkles"
The American complexion" is best
treated by applying pure mercolized
wax. which causes the faded, lifeless
Cuticle to fake off in minute par
ticles, little each day, until the
fresh, young skin beneath is wholly in
evidence. Every druggist has this wax;
one ounce is sufficient. Spread on at
night like cold cream, washing it off
next morning.
For wrinkles, dissolve an ounce of
powdered saxolite in a half pint witch
hazel; battle the face in this. Imme-
diately every wrinkle is affected, even
the deeper lines. Both treatments are
remarkable facial rejuvenators.

and it has worked to that end ex-

heard of is the wire waste paper

After the dishes are washed they
are packed into the wire basket and
put in the pail of scalding water until

basket is lifted out and the dishes
drain and dry themselves without

It is easy TO tell a young girl not to

HOW TO TEACH
A GIRL GOLF.


Select an abandoned links, and one
that is as secluded as possible from
the public eye. A links that Is in use
is not at all the thing for your pur-
pose; other players will interfere with
your play, and when you are teaching
a girl how to play golf there are so
many fine points to the game that any
interruption is distracting, says Tom
Mason, in Ladies' Home Journal.
Your choice of a girl must be care
fully considered. 1t is a great mis-
take to suppose that any girl will do.
Get one. il possible, about five feet
five, with real golden hair, an albas-
ter complexion, rosebud lips and eyes
with limpid depths-the limpider the
better. She should also have about a
million dollars in her own name, and
be willing to learn.
1t is we'll to start out with two
caddies in the interests of good form.
When on the first tee" give the cad
dies one dollar apiece and tell them
you are going to play slowly and will
net need them.
Now step upon the teeing ground
and make a tee. The amount of sand
you need will depend entirely upon
the kind of girl you have. Place the
ball on the tee instruct her to address
q in all the endearing terms she
knows-just for the sake of practice
and then try and send it as far away
from a certain shady clump of trees
as she can.
After a few trials she will drive the
ball Just where you told her not to.
The ball is now lost. Leaving your
clubs behind you-for henceforth they
would only impede your progress
YOU start out toward the trees to find
Il in company with the girl. This
is important. No matter how many
balls are lost during the game never
lose sight of the girl.

turned from Cuba" said the wife of
a government inspector to the writer,
II went to the kitchen, filled the tea
Kettle and sat down before the nice
shining stove and watched it boil and
steam. For three months l had been
In a tropical wilderness where the
children of nature never heard of
sanitation nor of a dish pan or a dish
towel The family thought l had lost
my wits when 1 insisted on helping
the maid with the dinner things; we
used all four pans and every towel in
the cupboard. And, really, / believe
the Cuban way is almost as sanitary
as ours: in the first place camp was
always made near running water and
the crockery was wiped with clean
leaves after it was used. and then
washed off in the clear water; soap is
net used by the natives, but If the
dishes are in need of il some of the
ashes from~<the camp fire are rubbed
over them and they are returned to
the stream for rinsing. They are dried
in the sun and air and were always
clean and sweet"
The so called proper way to wash
dishes is glassware first, silver next
and then the dishes and lastly the
utensils used in the actual cooking.
A better way is TO prepare the dishes
for washing and set them aside and
wash the kettles, pans and tins first.
When food burns in dishes they
should at once be put to soak in
water containing soda or washing
powder, when they may be easily
cleaned; aluminium dishes must never
be scraped. but soaked in soapy
water and cleaned with whiting.
Glassware needs careful treat
ment; very hot water makes It
tender and If il does not crack at
once when washed in it, the next
time it is used IT may fall apart.
Fine glassware should last a life
time and often does where the house
keeper cares for II herself.
To wash dishes in a sanitary proper
manner it Is absolutely necessary to
have the following tools: One deep
eramel or agate dishpan TO wash the
dishes in, a dishmop for china and
q smaller one for glasses, a good
washcloth, a wire dishcloth, a spat-
ula. or a rubber scraper ammonia
and borax and white soap for the
dishes and laundry and polishing
cleaners for the cookery dishes and
rams; plenty Of dishtowels Of three
grades, glass towels. heavier ones for
china and for coarse work big
squares of still coarser goods.
Any housekeeper can add something

pan for rinsing or the wire drainer
