ALL PRAISE TO MARMALADE
Remarkably Capable Woman Satisfied
She Owed Her Position to That
Sweet Dish.

Two women-Queen Maud of Nor
way and Queen Alexandra of England
are geographically commemorated in
the new south polar region so lately
placed upon the map. Like honors
were accorded several women in the
far north many years ago. Lady
Franklin bay, named after the heroic
wife of Sir John Franklin. is well
known through its association with the
tragic story of the Lady Franklin
Bay Expedition" under General
Or sely, thirty years ago.
Another distinguished woman, Lady
Fra nklin's friend, Mary Somerville, the
famous astronomer and mathemati-
cisn, gave her name to tiny, frozen,
de5olate dot in the Arctic seas. The
daughter of fine old fighting admiral,
Mrs. Somerville was always keenly in
terested in ships, sailors and explora-
tons. So when her friend, Sir Edward
Parry, was preparing for his third
arctic voyage, she laid in large sup
ply Of oranges, betook herself to her
kitchen, and made an amazing number
of jars of delicious orange marina
lade, which she sent to him as her
contribution to the ships stores.
Three years later, when the expedi-
ton returned, Sir Edward informed
her that an island had been named In
her honor.
Because of fame and friendship, he
says" she wrote, merrily.- But l be-
lieve in my heart because of some
thing quite different-less sweet than
friendship, perhaps. but certainly. as a
woman's achievement, preferred by
most men to fame. Ny mathematics
no! my marmaladei"
If she did not SO far outrank the
rest of her sex in marmalade as In
mathematics, Mary Somerville was
none the less a very capable house
wife. She was an economical man
ager, an exquisite needle-woman, and
an excellent cook. AS young bride,
she won the appreciation of Doctor
Somerville's family, who shared the
contemporary prejudice against learn
ed ladies, by making, under the grave
difficulties presented by an ill-equip-
ed, ramshackle country inn, the clear
and delicious currant jelly that the
fancy of sick traveller craved
Il never can forget" she recorded in
her journal, "the establishment ex-
pressed at my being able to be so use
full"

REFLECTION ON HER STATUS
Mrs. IschIng-coyne Indignant at Idea
That Her Percy Had Any Need

Only boys Of the best families live
there. Percy will have the best So
cial advantages"

Percy tells me that there is a
magnificent swimming pool, quite Ro-
man in its elegance, in the basement,
while upstairs on the roof there is a
sun parlor. Really. 1 quite envy the

"And just to keep the place exclu-

people get in, they have a footman

What is Percy studying for?"
Il beg pardon?"
What is he studying for? What
profession?"
Mrs. Van Isching-Coyne drew her
self up and assumed her most frigid
manner.
Who has been spreading these re-
ports about us?" she inquired haught-
lily. What have you heard? What
has been said that would lead you to
assume such things?'
"Why-why. what do you mean?"
asked the visitor in agitation. What
things?"
why, that we are obliged to send
Percy to college to study for some
thing! Don't tell me any morei I'll

Failing Birth Rate.

More cofins were being needed

Vaughan, speaking on his investiga-

America and England
In II departments in France, he
said. the death roll call was in excess
of the birth rate. For every French.
man born there were three Germans
In the United States much the same
shrinkage would be recorded but for

the outlook was dismal enough-a fall
in generation from IS per 1000 to
81 and 20 per 1000. Doctors were
being called in for one birth only In a

Lays Divorce to Music.

One reason for the great number
Of divorces is that women now go in
for piano lessons and voice culture,
but scorn plain sewing and cooking, .
said the Rev. G. H. Seers, of this city,
the first priest to be called to testify
in divorce proceedings in this coun-
ty.
If our girls knew how to cock
meals and how to darn and mend their
husbands would be more contented.
But not all the blame lies on the wom-
ans shoulders. The small incomes of
our workingmen and the high cost of
living do much to swell the percent

Formerly there was only a comparatively small quantity of linters obtained and they were of such a grade a scould be used, to some extent for the same purposes as were the lower grades of cotton. Many of the oil mills have now installed ma chinery for the closer delinting of the seed. This has resulted in a large in- crease in the total uantity of linters produced each year and, at the same time, in lowering the average quality of the fiber, so that now only a small part, if any, is used as substitute for lint cotton.
