cup OF moderately strong tea, In
which two or three slices of lemon have
been infused, will frequently cure a
nervous headache.
When making mustard add a tiny
drop of salad oil to it while it is being
mixed. 1t will greatly improve the
flavor.
To mend broken glass and china melt
common alum in an old iron spoon over
the fire; then apply to the pieces OF
china or glass. When dry these arti-
Giles can be washed in hot water and
the cement will not melt.
When your wall is loose and soft and
will not hold a nail for pictures, try this
remedy: Mix some plaster Of Paris in a
teacup with a little water-Only quite
small quantity. Scoop out a small
hole in the wall with a screwdrlver fill
1t with plaster and then insert the nail.
1t will set quite hard in a minute or
two and be perfectly safe.
Put all your potato peelings into an
old tin and bake them in the oven until
perfectly dry and crisp; then, when you
lay the fire, put them among the paper
with few sticks. and you will find that
the fire will burn up very quickly. Many
bundles of firewood are saved during
the year by this little plan.
Tea leaves are often used to sweep
carpets, but they should not be too wet
or left lying about too long, as the
color may come out of the carpet. Tea
leaves. however, are valuable for vari-
GUS other purposes. Store them for
three or four days, soak them in a pail
for about an hour. then strain off the
water. which is an excellent wash for

W THEN some men get an increase

Lysander John Appleton had re-

her hands and lost all hope that he

of danger to come to which few listen
and which one never can explain to
others.
Now, don't set me down as saying
that girls should become engaged just
for the mischief Of breaking hearts, or
anything foolish like that. There are
plenty Of heartless young men and
women about who will do that without
encouragement
Il am only speaking against the at
titude of almost every class of people
who disapprove when young people
, break off their engagements, and seem
to act as If they would rather encourage
an unhappy marriage and possible d.
vorce, than let the young people change
their minds"

Views Too Old Fashioned.

LAS for the world in general, peo-
pies opinions, on the subject of en-
gagements should be less oldfashioned
and society should welcome the cour-
ageous young people who have had
sense enough to turn back on the brink
Of matrimony without asking reasons
for the step.

an engagement are not reasons at all

They are the subtle intuitive warnings

It's Different Now.

To-day a girl chooses her own mate,
and just as Nine. Sembrich says, she
is apt to marry at an early age and
often because she's afraid of public
opinion.
THE modern girl feels that there is
certain prestige which she acquires
when she becomes engaged to young
man, and she often thinks more of this
than of her future happiness. She
rushes into an engagement for the
sake of the ring, the parties that will
be given in her honor, and while I'm
not saying that she does not love her
fiance. she certainly often does not
analyze his character, nor study him
very seriously, at first.
THE engagement is announced The
family is delighted. The excitement
of the announcement subsidies, and the
girl begins to awaken to a new under
standing of herself, of the demands
she will make on her future husband.
Her fiance may be the dearest person
in the world, but some instinct, some
half understood intuition, warns her
that they are not fitted for each other.
There is nothing that she can put
into words, no reasons which her fam

Fewer Unhappy Marriages.

More broken engagements would
mean fewer unhappy marriages." said
Miss Kaelred, but no matter how ex-
young people to break their betrothal.
the very sensitive young person al
ways feels that a stigma Of some sort
is attached to this proceeding.
Society hears of an engagement be-
tween two young people that has been
dissolved, and instead of rejoicing
that they have come to their senses
before it is too late, tongues wag, gos-
sips are busy, and neither of the two
innocent parties is likely to escape
either pity or censure. One is quite
as bad as the other and it is because
every engaged girl knows that should
she change her mind at the last in
slant she will have to face this ordeal
that she lacks the courage and plunges
into matrimony often against her own
instincts.
81 presume" continued the beautiful
Australian, that people have the feel
ing that an engagement ought to be
binding, because in olden times the
betrothal ceremony was almost as i'm
portant as the marriage itself But in
those days the marriages of young
people were arranged by their parents
or families, and, as far as the girl
went, she had very little to say about
it, except to do as she was told and
marry the man whom her parents had
picked out

Should Engagement Be Broken? Better by Far Than
an Unhappy Marriage Says Society Girl
BY Margaret Hubbard Aver.

n n ME. SEMBRICH has said the
WI American girls marry too
young and too often. And Miss
katherine kaelred, who is as well
known in New York society as she is
on the stage, gives an excellent reason
for both the cause and the result OF
certain marriages which begin at an
early age and end in the divorce court
AS long as society looks askance
at the engaged couple who have the
courage to break off an engagement
of marriage, just so long will the
young people who have gotten as far
as announcing their engagement which
may only have been a sort of lark,
feel that they must go on and fulfill

WOODS PROMOTION DUE
TO EFFICIENCY UNDER
CIVIL SERVICE RULES
By C. S. ALBERT.

Especial Staf-k3uiletlnE EG0rreSpOnuenCsj
WASHINGTON, ID. C., Nov. 20.-The
first little speek of anything remotely
resembling patronage that has come
Hawaiiward In many weary moons
was the promotion of John @. Wood.
He was picked right up and boosted
into the consul general class. This
promotion carries with 1t an additional
$1,000 per year, which win help a
whole lot. 49, r.
As consul to Tripoli Mr.. Wood re.
ceiyed $500 year. Az consul gen.
eral to Ads Abbeba the stipend will
be $500 per annnm. But the ad-
yancement of Mr.. Wood did not come
through fear or favor. 1t resulted
from the application Of civil service
rules to the consular service. He had
earned and was In line for promotion.
1t was given him regardless of politi-
cal affiliations.
Hence, the good luck falling in Mr..
Wood Isl direction can net be really and
truly computed as patronage.

SIZENORE ENTERS
Plea Of GUILTY
IN KOREAN CASE

Berry Sizemore, bicycle officer
with the police department, who fig.
ured in a charge of alleged: cruelty
preferred by a Korean, entered plea
of guilty when arraigned at district
court this morning, it being under
stood that with the admittance of
guilt, Sizemore would be released
with a suspension of sentence for a
period of Is months.
Prosecuting Attorney Brown point
ed out that inasmuch. as Sizemore
had been obliged to lose one months
pay through his temporary suspen-
sion by Sheriff. Jarrett, the officer
had been punished to an extent that
prompted the acceptance of the pro-
posal that came from Attorney Leon
NJ Straus, the legal representative of
Sizemore. The proposition proved
agreeable to Attorney A. l.. C. Atkin-
son, who had been retained by a hui
of Koreans to prosecute Sizemore up
on charge of cruelty. -
The Korean who figured in the case,
and was alleged to have been drunk
and disorderly at the time Of his ar
rest by Sizemore, was arraigned and
discharged at the Instance of District
Magistrate Larnach.
