DEFENDS DE LEssEPS.

Paris. July 9 - Count Charles de
Lesseps. the son of Ferdinand de Les
seps, who began the work OF building
the Panama canal in 1881. issued the
following statement in a Paris morning
paper:
I view the approaching Inauguration
OF the Panama canal with a feeling OF
genuine sorrow. and what l say ought
not to wound the Americans who have
worked wonders. The French could
have finished the work: there were no
obstacles which they could not have
overcome. and nothing to justify the ca
taStrophe which overwhelmed US.
Three men made the canal and
merit universal gratitude-my father
Engineer Philippe Bunau-VariIla and
Colonel Goethals."
Count de Lesseps tells Of the terri
Bile ordeal through which he passed
when he went to the prison and found
his father dying. broken and distressed
by the thought that the family honor
had been tarnished. He was able then
to tell him that in spite Of appearances
his honor was saved. though all was lost
but that.

July 10 is the birthday Of that first OF
all English women to live by her pen.
Afra Behn. Her name is sometimes
spelled Afra, sometimes Aphra or Aphara
and sometimes Ayfara.
This celebrated woman was the daugh-
ter of a barber and she was born in
England two hundred and seventy-four
girl she was taken into the family Of a
general OF one of the West Indies and
with his family the fair Afra sailed away
to tropical climes 1t was in the Wess
Indies that she met the Indian chief
Oroonoka whom she afterwards made
famous in her romance Of the name. Just
how much Of this romance was based
upon fact and how much was the
product OF her own imaginings It would
be hard to say. Gossips and busybodies
Of the time used to say that the hand
some chief had been Afra's lover. Mod
ern historians go so far TO say that there
never was any Oroonoka at all But,
fact or fiction, he created some little
sensation two hundred and fifty years
ago.
When Afra was seventeen she returned
to England and married a rich London
merchant through whose influence she
was introduced at court. Here, It is
said. she used to Leep the king in a con-
tinual state OF good humor when she was
present. by her clever saIlies and witty
stories. She was also a pleasing person
to behold and possessed fair brown hair
and bright eyes that the king liked to

see. Perhaps better than all this she
introduced milk punch into England.
ARA was left widow at the age Of
twenty-siX and soon after this sorrow
the king honored her by sending her to
Antwerp as a spy. for there was a Dutch
war waging at the time. In Holland
Afra had many suitors, one of whom she
turned to good account. In a moment
Of indescretion the ardent wooer revealed
some plans of the Dutch navy, which
served Afra in good stead when she had
no further use for the suitor Another
suitor she promised to marry II he
would return to England with her. But
this lover died OF a fever and after this
disappointment Afra decided, to quote
her own words, to dedicate the re-
mainder OF her life to pleasure and
poetry"
As II happened Afra's rich husband
had left her but little money and the
tickle king had failed to pay her for
her services as a spy. so Mistress Behn
had 10 devise some way Of earning her
living. So II was that she decided to
write for living and in doing so was
the first English woman to take up the
calling OF letters as a means OF lveli-
hood. Afra was a wise woman and her
method of beginning this unaccustomed
task was to make herself known to all
the English men OF letters Of her time
She was sort OF seventeenth century

romances. Besides the famous ''Oroono-
ka, she wrote such plays as The Dutch

NowI" said Mrs. Kenyon as the front
door closed on her lord running for his
morning train. Thank goodness it's a
good day. II only Mrs Judy comes early
so as to get the washing done by lunch

she checked on the items on her fingers;

come on time; and the mending. I'll

lunch with John"
She started in with real zest on the
mornings program. The day was des-
tined, however, to prove one Of those
when everything goes awry. 1t began
r1ving until Mrs. Kenyon had given her
up. The clothes were in soak, and sun
and breeze were all ready TO dry them;
but no clothes to hang out.

Kenyon to herself when 10 o'clock
struck She couldn't possibly finish be-
fore lunch now, and some Of the iron

The cake must be left for the time be-
ing; so she shut of the draughts and
went down to the laundry. It was II
o'clock when q heavy step creaking down
the cellar stairs appHsed her that Mrs.
Judy had arrived.

THE CLEAN TUB.
ny FRANCES MARSHALL.

Copyright, 1s14)
Probably the New Jersey doctor who
announced not long ago that bath tubs
are not cleansing has been more widely
quoted than the almanac used to be in
a country town. And probably many un-
expected versions of his statements have
appeared.
Whatever he said and whatever he
meant, 1t is true that many bath tubs
are not kept as spotlessly clean as they
ought to be. And a bath in a tub that
shows a dark rim where some past bath
has left its impress is decidedly unpleas-
ant.
To begin with, it goes without saying
that a shower attachment is a great ad-
Gition to every bath room. But whether
there is a shower attachment or not
there should be a spotless tub.
II there is time, a servant should give
the bath tub a daily cleansing. She can
use hot soapsuds in which little boraX
has been dissolved, or she can use am
monia and soapy water, or else she can

the screen is not meant the position which

Of spectators but the position which af-
fords the best possible view to all the

not solved by theory as well as IL Is by
experiment.
Tests should be made until It Is learned
exactly where the screen should be placed
90 that all persons occupying seats have
an unobstructed view when the seats in
front of them are occupied. No specta-
tor should be expected to stretch his neck
To look over the shoulders Of man in

to engage in such gymnastics to gain
an unsatisfactory view Of the screen Is
likely to seek another theater in the
future.
Perhaps the most common fault in the
location OF screen consists in placing
II too low. While this low position Is
entireiy satisfactory to a person who Is
not seated behind some other spectator
II Is not satisfactory when all seats are
occupied II Is usually possible to raise
the screen until the view for most OF
the spectators Is unobstructed even when
other patrons are entering or leaving the
