BELIEVE WHALE
A WAR OMEN
So Declares Chester Fisher :
men Who Remembers
the Early CO.'S

CHESTER, Pa, June 2S-supersti-
tious people of this city believe that
the whale which was recently seen in
Delaware bay is a percurser Of war.
They refer to past omens Of a similar
Character reciting that the whale
which came up the Delaware river in
1871 was a precursor Of the War OF
1872, and that in 1860 one year before
the outbreak of the Civil War. a whale
came up these waters to PHILADELPHIA
This latter whale, Edward Cullen. a
veteran fisherman of this city, AYERS
he saw. He says:
1t was just this way. It was dur
ing the summer Of 1860 Horace Davis
and / were out in a boat fishing. II
was a little dark and we had a lam
tern. l was drawing in the net and
Davis was banking it, All of a sudden
Davis said Ned. there's vessel up-
side down out there / looked and
saw a thing that had the appearance
Of the hull of a craft upset. See how
swift the tide speeds by it, said Davis.
Wed got pretty close to it then.
and / lifted the lantern to take a good
look Just then there was a terrible
splash and the water went clear up
into the air out of that thing, Just as
though a powder magazine had busted.
Il dropped the lantern, and Davis
and / grabbed the oars, and we didn't
stop until we got ashore. There
wasn't any steamboat on the river
that could have beaten us that trip.
When that whale was caught up near
Kensington she had fshermen's nets
enough around her to stock two or
three ship stores. She had dragged
them off the bottom Of the Delaware
as she crawled up toward Philadel-

 I have found one more use for Sur geon's adhesive plaster. A window shade was torn almost entirely from the roller. I neatly and effectually fastened it with the plaster.
 Possibly some of the following mis- cel1aneous hints may be new to some of you:
 When the drawing tape in 8 gar ment annoys you by slipping back into the casing, sew to each end of the tape a button, small, yet too large te go through the opening of the easing.
 A mouse hole can be effectuaIly and Iastingly stopped by filling it with feIs- naptha soap. The smell of 1t is very offensive to mice. Not every kind of soap will do; ~they have been known to eat Ivory soap.
 To proIong the usefulness of rubbers put some cotton batting or small piece of felt in the heel of each rub Der. To avoid losing them, write your initials in each one.
 The taste of boiled water can be greatly improved by pouring it from one pitcher to another several times. Hold the pitchers as far apart as pos sib1e, allowing the air to get into the water.
 When obliged to drink water which you are not sure is pure, add few drops of lemon juice.
 To keep the chimneys of lamps that stand in the kitchen during the day free from dust, cover each chimney with paper bag.
 When your turn over linen collars begin to wear out at the top, cut the two sections apart. overcast the edge of the upper part, or make a narrow hem. and you have a cool and com fortable collar to wear with morning dresses.
 When vase is not high enough for long -stemmed flowers set within it 8 narrower and taller vase. To prevent the inner vase from toppling over, drop in some shot Put the longest stemmed flowers in the inner vase, arrange shorter ones in the outside vase in g. way to conceal the inner vase.
 To clean bottles or narrow necked vases drop 8 small handful of shot into some soapy water, pour into the bottle or vase and shake vigorously. board box begin to pull apart, join them, every few inches, with long legged, big-headed brass paper fasten- CTS.
 Whole wheat crackers spread light 1y with plain butter and thickly with peanut butter and sprinkling of salt make nourishing and appetizing sand wfches for the chi1dren's lunch box. They are also nice to serve with after noon tea or coffee. If desired, the plain butter can be omitted. The Mansfield whole wheat crackers. which are about the size and shape of saItines, are es- peciaIly good for this purpose. Entire wheat and graham bread are also eX- celIent.

HOW TO CROCHET A TIE.

Dear Editor, Sisters and Friends of the Social Corner: AS it is too windy today to do anything unless it is clean ing carpets and writing letters, I am going to spend a. few moments visit ing in. the Social Corner. It is such pleasant home-like place. Somehow I think 1t will serve as a sort of shield for time from the wind, which, try as hard as l may, I cannot but dread to hear.
 My congratulations are extended to those who won the coveted prizes in the dressmaking contest. I have great ly enjoyed all the Social Corner af- fairs, and thank the writers who re- membered me-.
 Billie dear, please accept my thanks for the beautiful Easter card yo1 sent enjoy all your letters and do know that "Fr1endship like the ivy c1ings'; and am one of those kind of friends. You have me guessing yet; and see no opportunity for enlightenment un- less we meet at some of the pleasant Social Corner affairs
 Was it Sister Calla Lily who asked for suitable name for g. bungalow
 The letter written by One of Them in the issue of March 15 is certainly muItum in parvo.
 Welcome to all new members in our Corner
 Sister Hyacfnth, I will send you di- rections for g. very pretty crochetted tie called the Baltimore tie. Three spools of crochet silk are required to make the tie. Begin on the bottom of the long end, which is 16 1-2 inches long, then work the narrow neckband 15 inches, or to suit the size Of collar worn, and last the short end 6 inches long. First make a chain of 3S stitch es. work a shell of double crochets in the fourth chain from needle, then catch down in the next fourth chain st. with a single crochet, chain 3, and make shell in the same stitch where the s. C. was worked in; repeat from until 8 shells are in a row. End row. chain 3 and turn. A single crochet between shell and 5 chain, then chain and 8 shell under the chain of first row, repeat from across the row. Continue in this manner until you have 16 1-2 inches of 8 shells in row. Mar rowing. make first shell and make 2 single crochets on 2 shells, leaving out a, shell; on the opposite side do the same, so that it narrows to shells, make 6 rows of 6 shells, then narrow, to shells and be sure you always make your first and last shell so that you do not spoil the edges. Crochet 3 rows of shells, narrow 1 shell more, and work the neclxpiece with 8 shells long as needed. Widen, crO- chet first shell, make the single cro- chet between shells, and then work shell in there work on as before and ner. Crochet 5 rows of 5 shells in crease to shells and work 6 inches long. Finish off the end where you began with a, TOW of shells. Work tight and it will give a huted effect.
 With best wishes to all from

 Thank all the Corneriies who remem- bered me fin their meetings.
 What has become of Dear Glenwood :? I have missed her lately; also Faye Yer na. Hope to see their names again in print before long.
 Ma: I must tell you about the gourd you sent me. It decayed so I could not keep it, so thought I would put a few of the seeds in a flower pot in the window, in hopes to see it grow, but never even a shoot. Then I planted pot After moving them about I forgot which one had the guord seed, and last summer when I planted my garden and fixed up the different beds must have thrown the soil containing the soed into my flower bed, for had nice vine come up, and in the Fall I gathered a peck measure full from that one vine. Pretty good, think. Was glad to see by last weeks issue that your next letters please let me know what breed you have;~ also. tell me if your initials are J. s. 1 know a party down your way who has a lovely place for hens, and hers are large white ones and I wondered if 1t might be you.
 Lucy Acorn. Many thanks for the compliment you paid me In your last letter. Hope to return 1t in some way.
