A COAST OBJECT LESSON

Two steamers plying Alaska waters have been wrecked within the and both the alleged cause of the disasters have been attributed to the unchared rocks upon which the vessels mpnged themselves Fortunately lives lost in either of the wrecks but t was matter of luck because under less proptous conditions there might have been heavy toll of te These recurring wrecks not only accenuae the necessity ot lighthouses and other aids to navigation but they would point the need of revision of the marine charts by making surveys.
 The Alaska is notorious for its nsuciency of light houses and navigation ads and although there has been an increase in their number from to there IS still lamenabe lack of these necessary aduncts to safeguard navigation of the coast waters
 The coast line of Alaska's southern neighbor, British Columbia is dotted with ghs and the traveller needs but to the condition there with the scarcity of lights along and his conclusions will be discred Alaska needs lighthouses and lights and she needs them now and next year years hence.-Exchange

THE YANKEE

Time when somewhat of opprobium attached to the word Yankee.
 It all due to the preudices which grew out of the and the carpet bag in the southern states The worlds history had something do with it. Americans did not like the etymology of the word Yankee There something cngng the word which either suggested horse seang subtle shrewness in horse trading which amounted to theft
 But Yankee has come out of 1t all with clean bill.
 Men no longer offended when they called Yankees There good in the Yankee record too many great achievements in peace and in for good American shrink from the European habit of speaking of all Americans Yankees On the contrary is rather mark of distinction be referred a Yankee suggests than srewdness in horse trading suggests about all the good that the American people and stand for among the great peoples and governments of the earth
 Probably Europe is responsible for this change in the attitude of all Americans toward the word.
 But doesn't really matter who responsible for it, the change has occurred and everybody will that the Yankee at any stage of the game is all right.

CURRENCY LEGISLATION

It was inevitable that however chastened by ancient defeat and upfted by tardy victory the democratic party be- champions of its traditional practice of doing the wrong thing at the wiring time would appear For this honor Representative Henry of Texas offers himself and with others of the said to contemplate opposition to currency legislation.
 The of the staesmanship to be expected from this opposition may be taken by Mr. Henrys charge that Wall Street, is responsible for the pressure for currency legislation and for its form.
 excusabe It is not The proposed legislation is the ougrowh of nearly five years of discussion the bankers and the business of the country If Mr. Henry really ingenious to think Wall Street project could stand the scrutiny the criticism, the active debate which the national association plan has undergone his opinion should little weight in congress.
 The most hopeful factor in the situation is the evidence that who favored the Adch plan and those who opposed
 business and bankers and economists of all secons getting together behind the administration It buncombe to talk if the practical from California to Maine who favor national association legislation going to be blinded and led by the by Wall Street bankers cannot be relied upon to defend themselves and the country from evil machinations.
 Currency legislation should be worked out plane higher than party politics and out of reach of barrel thumpers and economic quack however well mentioned It is job for banking experts for economists and for thinking business As it is formulating the proposed legislation likely to deserve the earnest support of all parties and all should join shutting off unnecessary obstruction and half baked debate
 The time is ripe for sound currency legislation Banking opnon business opinion has been well informed harmonious to essentials If cannot get it the democratic party will have given a proof of persistent incompetence in this field and fighting hope it's opponents

OF APPROPRIATE TEXTURE.

Devoted Followers.

Spring and summer call for a dis

with light fresh-looking covers that
can be Numbered and that fit appro-
priately with summer hangings and
furniture.
If you have planned to have Gre
tonne decorations, allow for two or
three yards extra when you order. so
that pillows TO match will complete
the attractive idea These need not
be made enterly of cretonne They
can be combinations of this material
and any other fabric, preferably
plain.
One of the simplest summer slips is
of white or unbleached muslin edged
with four-inch band OF Powered ere
tonne or poplin. Long pillows can
have siX-inch borders at each short
end. The heavier fabric gives a firm
ness at the ends where the most
wear is.
Cut-out patterns, stitched i'm bor-
ders on muslin or plain popins make
effective covers. Arrange the stems
straight rows so that a conventional.
old-fashioned border effect will BE
the result. The flowers should not
reach any higher than two-thirds up
and they should be about on the
same line. Machine stitching serves

success
The checked Bingham pillow in all
sizes is a summary feature that is
good for bungalows or porches Green

Striped and plain denims are very
durable. If worked In embroidery,
cross-stitch designs or combined with
plain fabrics they offer artistic relief
for summer home.
The use Of tan and gray linen, en-
livened by bright embroidery. is very
successful. Blue. yellow. green and
white on these backgrounds give
fresh-looking designs In this age OF
washable silks and cottons cleanli-
ness is possible without evidence Of
fading or rough wear.
At seashore homes the fabrics.
such as bingham, unfading cretonnes
and natural-colored ponges and linen
are advisable. Salt air plays havoc
with colors and should be remem.
bered when planning furnishings for
seaside houses
Generally speaking, the room in
which pillows are to be used should
be considered and should decide the

important as winter ones. They can
make or mar the effect of a home.

SEASONABLE IDEAS.

To make a cheap floor wax. use a
pound of beeswax and three pints of
turpentine. Cut the wax in small
pieces, and put them into a pan. Set
the pan in hot water and let the wax
welt. Take it off the fire and add the
/. turpentine to the wax, mixing thor

To make good dust rags, use paraf-
fin wax mixed with turpentine. Melt
the wax and add enough turpentine
to mix we'll, then dip the cloth In this
mixture.
Floor mops for hard wood floors can
be made at a quarter the price of the

Keeps an inventory of most OF her
household belongings. Things are ar.

places, well labeled, and in her desk
is house book telling the number or
amount of said bag, box or drawer
iull or articles. In case of illness or
going away any one unacquainted with
the house can find anything needed.

hats, wraps, furs, in fact anything that
is worn or used will come under this
list, and be helpful to keep.
Candle ends should never be thrown
away, as this wax can be used in
starch, to rub off the range and keep

with turpentine and used as a floor
polish.
Curtain rings and pins may be
frightened when black by boiling in
vinegar and water, then rinsing and
rubbing with a dry cloth.
A box hooked TO the porch at the
back, on a level with it, will hold
rubbish and things can be easily
slipped into it out of sight.
Put a paper bag over the meat
chopper when grinding crumbs. also
slip one over the egg beater when

allow the handle to come through and
