tackled by the Infatuated Strikers
and Their Sympathizers.

Lawrence, Mass. Twelve COM
panies of infantry and two troops of
cavalry were ordered here by Gov.Foss
to reinforce the cavalry on duty fol-
lowing the worst rioting since the
strike of $4,000 textile operatives was
begun.
There are now twenty-one COM
panies of militia and two troops of
cavalry under command of Col. E. LIE.
roy Sweetser. The police force, in
creased to more than 200 men, is CO.
operating with the militia.
Col: Sweetser issued a proclamation
virtually establishing martial law in
this city, and it became evident that
the authorities of the Commonwealth
had determined to crush the spirit of
anarchy which has outgrown ordinary
repressive measures.
This reinforcement of the military
forces followed a day of rioting, which
ended in the killing of a woman with
a bullet and the stabbing of a police
officer, and it also followed threats of
a violent sort uttered by the strike
leader, J. ]. Ettor.
The woman who was shot and kill
ed was Anna Lopizeo.
The police force was practically I'M
able to restore order, but in the mill
district the militia had the situation
well in hand.
The d~etraining of the soldiers was
witnessed by large crowds, and there
was much muttering, but the business
like appearance of the troops and the
knowledge that their cartridge boxes
were filled with ball cartridges, awed
the strikers, and the various COM
panies marched to their stations in ST.
lence.
Practically every electric car COM
ing into Lawrence was attacked. The
windows were smashed and the pas
sengers dragged to the streets by a
yelling mob. Every man, woman, and
child showing an appearance of going
to the mills to work was assaulted,
and hundreds were knocked down,
kicked, and dubbed.

Walking With Coo.

A little child gave a most exquisite
explanation of walking with God. She
went home from Sabbath school, and
the mother said: Tell me what you
learned at school," And she said:
Don't you know, mother, we have
been hearing about a man who used
to go for walks with God. His name
was Enoch. And, mother, one day
they went for an extra long walk,
ana they walked On and on, until God
said to Enoch: You are a long way
from home; you had better just come
in and stay, and he went" That was
true. Each had become so familiar
with God that he just went in and
stayed-Religious Telescope.

everything about this strange body of
water from scientific standpoints that

What ultimate political or CONNER
cial motives, If any, underlie the sur
face of the enterprise time only can
show.
This Is by no means the first at
tempt made to explore the Dead sea
region. Lieut.. w. F. Lynch of the
American navy, as early as the year
1848 spent considerable time in re-
search and exploration of that region
at the expense Of the American gov
eminent and at great risk to his per-
son.
Despite the ha~rdships, Lieute&ant
Lynch was fairly successful In taking
measurements as well as %soundings
Of different parts of the lake. Accord
ing to the l%ieutenant's narrative, the
lake measures some 46 miles from
north to south and from 6 to II miles
east and west. It's total surface area
vas therefore computed to be $50
square miles. It's greatest depth was
1900 feet at its northern end, and it's
shallowest part being at its southern
extremity, varies from 5 to Is feet
only.
The lakes depression below the sea
level is 1872 feet and a tropical
climate makes its temperature almost
unbearable during certain seasons Of
the year.

PAPER BAG COOKERY.

One must to keep up with the times.
have some experience In cooking In
paper bags. 1t is quick, satisfactory
and economical and the ideal way of
cooking meats, as the favor is all in
the meat, not passed off in the over
or air. 1t prevents waste, as the meat
weighs as much when tits taken from
the ven as it did when put in.
One Of the beauties of this system
is that the food cannot be looked at,
and the only care is to keep the oven
at a good temperature for the dish
baking. Care should be taken in
opening the ove If a gas fame is
used, for a sudden draught from a win
dow Or door may ignite the bag.
When such accident occurs, turn off
the gas, remove the bag and place 1t
inside Of another. If left a few min
utes to make up the loss Of time, ev-
%erything will be right.
There are any number of points in
favor of paper bag cookery; no dishes
to wash after roasting a fowl or cook
ing a stew, a perfectly clean, sanitary
bag. free from microbes, to use, no
odor from the cooking and no oven
to watch.
Paper bags made for the purpose
are IN the market; the ordinary bag
is not satisfactory as 1t is not strong
enough and It leaves an undesirable
flavor in the substance cooked in 1t.
These bags may be purchased Of
any merchant, or he will be glad to
keep them as they are becoming more
and more popular as they are known.
Directions for using come in each
package. Care should be taken in
placing meat with sharp skewers or
bones that will pierce the bag. ,
The bag should not be moved when
put into the oven, as the heat makes
it very tender. When ready to take
out, place a pan under 1t and draw out
gently on to 1t or the platter on which
it is to be served. Open the bag and
remove the contents. One mistake
which is made by many is that of put.
ting the filed bag into a pan. It
should be placed directly on the iron
rack, so that the heat has free access
to every part of it. If the bag bursts.
slide it into another, keeping a pan

THE VALUE OF DATES AS FOOD

If children could be given dates.
raisins and figs for sweets more often
than candy, they would be much bet
ter in disposition and health.
Hutchinson says that a half pound
Of >dates and a pint of milk makes a
meal sufficiently nourishing for a per
son engaged "a sedentary labor.
AS a CONNECTION there is nothing
more delicious than dates stuffed with
nuts of any kind. A few dates added
to the apple salad improves it very
much.
A date put into a small ball Of
doughnut dough and fried is a pleas
ant change from the everyday dough-
nuts.
Dates added to the breakfast cereal
Is not new, but it is a decided Inn
provement on the plain cereal.
The Arab can walk long distances
and display the most wonderful en-
durance with a handful of dates and
a piece of black bread for food.
For cake filling dates are excep
tionally good. Take a half pound Of
dates, remove the stones and cut fine
sith a knife; add a third of a cup Of
boiling water and sugar to sweeten
to taste, a tablespoonful of lemon
Juice. Cook in a double boiler until
a smooth paste. Spread on layer
cake and frost with orange icing.
A few dates put into cored apples
and baked makes a common dish a
creation. Lemon jelly nodded, with
dates and served on lettuce as a
salad is a new and delightful combi-
nation for a salad.
Dates are added to cakes for the
fruit, to bread of all kinds, and a
pie made of dates is hard to equal.

EXPLORING DEAD SEA
Scientists Sounding Waters of
Oldest Known Lake.
Motives Of Expedition Said to Be
q Purely Sctensifie-No Elements Of
CommercIaIlsm Entering Into
Ultimate Object.

Jerusalemx-An expedition, the pur-
pose of which is thoroughly to explore
the Dead sea and its environs under
the leadership Of DR.. Bruhl of the Uni
versity Of Berlin, has just arrived
from Europe and continued to the
Gene Of its future operations.
The motives Of the expedition, SO it
Is emphatically averred by DR.. Bruhl,
are purely scientific, with absolutely
no elements Of commercialism enter
ing into its ultimate object.
The work Of exploration will con-
sist in the major part of sounding the
depth Of verious sections of the lake
as well as analyzing the complex
composition Of its waters, studying its
shores, Investigating the nature of the
different minerals that are said to
abound in that region, exploring, as
far as is possible, the channels of the
many rivers and hot water streams,
apart from the Jordan, which flow
into the sea, from both the eastern
and western mountain ranges that
hem its shores, examining and classify
ing the varieties of fish that exist in
large numbers only in the extreme
southeastern section Of the lake,
which consists mainly of shadows and
marshes.
1t must be remembered in this con-
nection that it has always been firm
ly maintained by those who visited
the Dead sea and wrote treatises
about it long ago that no fish of any
kind a make their habitat in any
part of 1t, and this long established
belief was disproved only recently by
a pleasure party of Americans, long
resident in the country. who visited
the southern end Of the lake and dis
covered fish.
