Defiant, ubmissive, iaconic, and i'm

Mrs. Thaw admitted that in 1907 or
1905, she entered into an agreement
with Mrs. Mary c. Thaw. her mother

FLOOD WANTS TO GIVE

CIVIL SERVICE EXANi-
NATION FOR PRESENT FREE
DELIVERY CARRIERS
BY GEORGE H.. MANNING.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.--Con-
gresham Flood has taken up a propo-
sition with President Wilson and Post
erGeneral Burleson to have all
the rural free delivery mail carriers
who were appointed during the frst
two years of the service, when no civil
service examination was required. now
take the examination to determine
their fitness to hold Office.
From the time the rural delivery
service was first inaugurated In 1900
until about 1909 carriers were APP

ton without having to submit TO any
kind .0f examination. .s.s. ~ .~.>. ~

But in 1902 the service was put un-
der the civil service in the same man.
ner that President Taft issued an order
placing all fourth-ciass postmasters
under the civil service. and none OF
those holding office were required to
take the examination although being
given the same protection as those
who later had to qualify.
AS the Wilson administration has
seen At to require all fourth-class
postfnasters to take an examination to
determine their fitness to continue In
office, Congressman Flood thinks II no
more than Just that those who are pro-
tected by the civil service should now
be required to take the examination
and qualify for positions In the rural
delivery.
There are In all probability over
three hundred Republican carriers In
Virginia who. although they never
took the examination, are entitled to
the same protection Of the civil SER
vice as those who later gained their
positions by passing the examinations.
In the United States there are prob
ably 1000 carriers who would have to
undergo the examination should Presi-
dent Wilson issue an order requiring

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2s.-Specsa1
Envoy John Lind departed from
Mexico City for Vera Cruz this morn
ing for the purpose of impressin4
on Provisional President Huerta that
there will he no further postpone

the United States and Mexico toward
mediation Will be broken off. s

POINTS ON CURING MEATS
Process Should Begin From Twenty
Four to Forty-Eieht Hours After
Slaughter-Avoid Chemicals.

Meat should never be sailed until
the animal heat is out. The curing
process should begin from "a to As
hours after slaughtering. This
length of time insures perfect cool
ing and freshness. 1t should not be
allowed to freeze.
Secure clean, tight barrel, If
large amount of meat is to be cured.
A molasses or syrup barrel does nice
ly. A small amount of meat may be
cured in a stone jar. Often a house
keeper has an opportunity to buy
cheap a piece of meat too large for
one cooking. This may be cured for
later use.
Salt, sugar and molasses are the
safe preservatives. Borax, boracic
acid, formalin and salicylic acid are
considered by most authorities on the
subject to be injurious to the health.
The patent preparations which are on
the market for preserving meat should
be avoided. Saltpeter is used to give
the meat a bright color. 1t, too, Is
considered harmful.-Woman' World.

Quack Grass.

AS a usual thing, quack grass does
not mature it's seed in hay or in win
ter grain crops, since they are cut too
early, but in hay that is left standing
for seed and in spring grains it does
become mature and is carried from
field to field or from farm to farm by
the threshing machine, in manure, in
hay and straw or in seed grain or
grass seed.
The first thing to do is to learn to
know quack grass seed and then re-
fuse absolutely to use any grain for
seed that contains it. AS soon as the
fall work is well out of the way get
the tanning mill in working order and
clean the seed grain so well that there
is no weed seed of any kind in it.
With oats and barley the work must
be done particularly well, since quack
seed resembles these to certain ex-
tent, although 1t is much smaller. Buy
your seed, grain and grass seed early
and be absolutely sure that you get no
quack seed in either.

Your Shirt Waist.

Let the napkins stand for some time
before pressing Then shake them
out, one at time, and spread out per

kins should be ironed first on the right
side, then on the wrong and back
to the right until quite dry.
For monogrammed napkins iron the
monogram from the wrong side and
fold with the monogram on the out
side.
In ironing shirt waists start on the
neckband. Lay it in front of you, par
allel with the edge of the board, and
iron on the right side until partly dry,
then turn to the wrong side and finish
with the right side. This will give the
requisite smoothness and gloss. Then

REAL USE FOR QUEUE
QUITE GOOD REASONS WHY
CHiNAMAN CHERISHED 1T.
Was Believed to Promote Health, and
Certainly Was Protection to
the Head Both in Summer
and Winter.

A great many people have, no doubt
wondered just why the Chinese should
cultivate queues. 1t has been claimed
that the queue was sacred TO them
that it was a disgrace to injure those
long braids of shiny black hair, just
as it was considered nearly a sacrilege
in Bible times to injure the beard.
No doubt the Chinaman took pride
in his long braid of hair, because his
fathers before him took pride in it,
but, according to several authorities
who have long studied the customs
and history of China and the Chinese,
there were other reasons for the
queue, and apparently quite good rea-
sons at that.
In the first place, the Chinaman be-
lieved that it was far more healthful
to wear his head shaver, except at
the top of his head, and let it grow in
long mass to be braided One be-
lief was that wearing the hair in this
manner increased the circulation of
blood in the brain and therefore made
the Chinaman healthier and keener.
Then again, during cold weather the
queue could be braided about the
head. giving the protection of thick
warm cap. And in extremely hot
weather the queue was again braided
about the top of the head, this time to
protect the wearer from sunstroke.
The long queue is also used as
sort of neck-cloth, to wrap about the
neck, and it is bound loosely on the
back of the head to serve as pillow
at night Perhaps one of the most pc
culiar uses attributed to it is in sud-
den illness or injury, especially in the
old days of warfare when swords were
the general weapons. Then it was
used as a turnijuet to bind about the
injury and prevent too great loss
of blood.
1t was for these reasons as we'll as
for any reasons of sentiment or relig.
ion that the Cinnamon hesitated so
long before agreeing to sacrifice their
queues, but it is evident that the GUS
tom of wearing queues was not what
might be termed foolish habit" as
it was really made to serve a number
of uses.

ROCKY ROAD FOR BOY

the country boy, if he has the chance
of an education and lives in a good
home, has deal better time than the

The city boy has no opportunity to
