SHE KNEW ALL THE TRICKS
Party Proved That She Had Once
Been Poor.

She looked rich and acted rich. and
everyone knew that she was rich, be-
cause she had married a rich man, yet
the Sherlock Holmes of the tea party
discovered that she had once been
poor.
Take 1t from me" she said that
there was time, and that not so very
long ago, when she was as poor as
the rest of us"
"Marvelous!" exclaimed the other
four girls. How did you discover
that"
Through her knowing so absolutely
where | keep all my housekeeping
things. She knew that the tea caddy
was in the writing desk, that the
cheese, biscuits. and other edibles be
loved by mice were in that tin box
under the sofa, that the alcohol for my
stove was in the corner behind the
washstand, that the butter and milk
were on the window ledge. and that
the eggs and other raw foods were in
box on the bottom shelf of the ward
robe.
When we were cooking she went
straight to the spot and got everyone
of those things without once asking
where they we're, which Is something
that n person who has not had wide
experience of housekeeping In one
room could never have done"

War Aids Jap WOODEN Industry.

The army clothing orders received
in Japan since the outbreak of war
have stimulated the tagging ambition
to make Japan a great wool manufac-
turing country. The Mainichi (Osaka) 4,
points out truly enough how the in
dustry had subdivided itself in Europe,
where England, Germany and Austria
each had it's own specialties and ma
nipulated the fiber in different stages
of manufacture. Seeing that Austria
liza is the great country for tho supply
of the raw material, the Osaka paper
thinks 1t would be much more ra-
tional for Japan to receive the wool
and manipulate it In all stages before
1t was passed on to Europe than it is
for it to go the round on to Europe and
then come out to Japan In the manufac-
tured state. 1t therefore exhorts the ia
panese manufacturers to put the nee
essary energy into the task of building
up a trade which European competi-
tors will not be able to take away
again after the war.-Japan Chronicle.

HER0IsM OF SKIPPER s00EY
Brave Captain Inserted Himself In
Rent In Steamers Side and
Saved Craft.

When news of the heroic exploit OF
Skipper iii" Sooey OF the good ship
Henry Summers reaches the British
shores, the admiralty will undoubtedly
seek out Skipper Sooey for special
service in the submarine zone, accord
ing to the New York correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Times-Star. For here
is a skipper who saved his ship from
certain loss, under circumstances
closely approaching those of the sub
marine assault, and did it not only
personally and unaided, but distinctly
in person and by that means alone.
Though not an imposing craft, the
Henry Summers is well and more or
less favorably know. She-applying
the romantic Technology of the sea
to the Henry Summers--takes people
down to the fishing banks to catch
fish, or, at least, to spend the day
trying. Her personnel, in active serv-
ice, consists of Skipper Isl" and the
cook and crew, whose name is Bill"
Coming up the East river, after a sue
cessful trip to the banks, having dis
charged her cargo of fish, fishermen,
bait and bottles at the Battery, the
Henry Summers hit something. II 1t
was a floating mine or a torpedo 1t
failed to explode. 1t merely made
neat hole two and one-half feet across
in the side of the Henry Summers
just at the water line. Skipper ST
Sooey, at the helm, exclaimed. "Lookt
that, cash d-u-r-n it," The cook and
crew were asleep forward. Skipper
Sooey sounded the call for all hands
on deck in every urgent manner known
to maritime usage aboard the Henry
Summers. The cook and crew slept
peacefully on. The East river con-
tinued to come in through the hole.
The cockpit Of the Henry Summers
was quickly knee deep with water,
and her stern began to settle. The
situation was desperate, but Skipper
"Si'' Sooey was there to face it, Or
perhaps it would be better to say
to show the stuff he was made OF. He
pulled a lantern to the mast head, re-
versed his engine, dashed his wheel
and inserted his substantial person
snugly into the rent in the good ship
Henry Summers side. Then, as the
Henry Summers backed swiftly down
the tide, the skipper did all that he
could, vocally to make up for the lack
of a steam siren in the equipment Of
the Henry Summers. At the foot of
East Tenth street police launch came
alongside and its crew pried Skipper
'Si'' from the leak. He was SILVER
ing and exhausted, but the good ship
was saved. The police launch towed
her ashore before she could founder.
And Skipper ST." being much in need
of brisk and warming exercise, woke
up the cook and crew quite thor
oughly.

L'ttle Change In Warfare.

Contemporaries have always men
toned the singular gravity of Napoleon.
He could be expansive and even gay in
youthful society-when he was himself
young-but the mood never lasted, and
historians mention his somberness in
the Italian campaign when he was only
twenty-six years old. The solemn pro-
fundity and fixity Of his gaze always
struck the stranger. He made himself
respected and little feared even by
his friends. His art, of course, was
different from the art of today, for his
battles were won with army corps in.

Modcsty.

Apropos of painting to which An

plant is almost as fine as its flowers,
and the two combined make it one of
the most desirable plants.
| often wonder why the herbaceous
Spireas are not more extensively
grown. Certainly it is difficult to find
more eXquisitively lovely flower
than Spirea with its great plumelike
panicles and airy pink bloom.
The Peony need not be given spe-
cial commentator here, because

out this flower is not living up to
its privileges
If the Iris can be given a some
what moist location, it should find a
place in the amateur gardeners col
lection always. The German and Jap
anese varieties are simply magnificent
in coloring and remarkably stately in
general effect when grown in large
groups.
Every collection ought to include at
least dozen of the most distinct va
rieties of perennial phlox. This plant
is to the outdoor garden what the
geranium is to the window garden.
Anyone can grow it. 1t is a profuse
bloomer. 1t comes in a wide range
of colors. Group it in order to secure
best results, but keep the lilac and
magenta varieties away from the pink

color discord of the most aggressive

perennial Pea, Coreopsis Lanceolata,
Pyrethrum, Dairy, Achillea, all good,

Edison Batteries for Submarines.

The disabling of the submarine FL
in Honolulu harbor, the cause Of
which at present writing has not been
ascertained. has led to the surmise
that some trouble might have been
experienced with the batteries. Should
sea water have come into contact
with the sulphuric acid Of the bat
teries. chlorine gas would have been
generated. OF COT re sulphuric acid
is not the only elettrolyte that need
be used In storage batteries. The
Edison battery, for instance. uses a
potash solution which gives off no
poisonous gases when coming into
contact with sea water. Public inter
est in the Edison cell has been
aroused particularly by the fact that
the new submarine LIS, which was re.
Gently launched, is equipped with this
type of battery. American.
