ENGLISH CRUISER HUN|L|ATED
 BY TURKS

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 26-(Cor- respondence of the Associated Press) A correspondent of the Taswir-LEs- kira sends a number of interesting episodes from the bombardment of the Turkish coast north of the city Of Alexandrette. The most interest ing of these is how the threatened bombardment of the city itself was averted.
 After smelling the railroad line near Pajas. a British cruiser appeared be- fore Alexandrette, where, meanwhile two locomotives of a train which had been partly demolished by British shells also arrived The commander "f the British vessel demanded the surrender of the garrison of Alexan- drette and the transfer of all arms in the city within eighteen hours un- der penalty of bombardment of all public buildings.
 The reply made by the Turkish commander was that for each Turk Killed he would hang an Englishman. In the end it was arranged that inc blowing up of the two locomotives mich had escaped the bombardment at Pajas would settle the matter The correspondent speaks of the locomo. 'iVes as "culpable" but does not ex. plain why he uses this term.
 Later in the day the Turkish com mander sent word to the British cruis- CT that he could not find any dynamite Tor the blowing up of the locomotives All the dynamite had been sent to Damascus, he asserted. The com. mander of the British cruiser then or. Tered to supply enough explosives for me destruction of the two locomotives
 While these pourparlers were in nro. gress Turkish locomotive engineer mad quietly steamed to Pajas, hooked his engine to the partly demolished but still mobile train and then made of in the direction of Mersina When the English heard of this they made the two engines in Alexandrette use. less' and then steamed back to Pa. Jas' too late. however, to reach inc train with their guns. With tbrot. tie wide open the Turkish engineer was well away toward the interior when the British crusier arrived off Pajas.
 To make the humiliation of the British more complete they had in the meanwhile been joined by the Russian cruiser Askold. When they returned to Alexandrette they found that the commander of the city stiu insisted that for each Turk killed in the proposed bombardment an En-
 
 glishman would be killed, not by breaking his neck at the end of a rope but by strangulation. possibly the most horrible form of death. Check mated the two cruisers steamed for other ports.

POTTERY WORK is A PUZZLE
Immense Bowls Made by Indians of
the Amazon Valley Cannot Be
Duplicated.

An expert has declared there is no
kiln or oven in this country, probably
none in the world, large enough to
bake the largest Of the big pots dis
covered in the Amazon valley, samples
of which are now on exhibition at the
Museum of the University Of Penn
sylvania. The clay used also has
aroused much curiosity. When a
piece of the edge was clipped from
one of the big bowls the material was
shown to be a black, f1inty substance.
Undeniab1y it is clay, but of a kind
never seen before by psychologists.
Potters are astonished at it's remark
able strength. The large bowls are
less than half an inch thick, while
some of the smaller ones, foot or
fourteen inches high, are as thin as
sheet of newspaper. An idea OF their
strength may be gained from the
knowledge that they were transport
ed about ten thousand miles before
reaching the museum, and only few
of them were broken, though all were
packed under difficulties in villages
that knew nothing Of packing break
ables.
The Indians who made these wonder
full pots are as mysterious as their
work. Doctor Farrabee wrote that
they were absolutely devoid Of any
traditions, and had no idea of where
they came from. 1t is known, however,
that they cannot have been in Peru
more than about five hundred years.
The larger bowls give out a metallic
sound when raped One not seeing
the substance would say at first they
were made of painted copper. Each of
the two big pots would hold four or
five tons.

fullest development there. These belts
could not be worn with the frock, or
skirt and separate blouse that shows
small decrease of size between the
bust and the hips.
White or light muslin frocks have
a belt of three-inch black velvet rib
bon which is a decided return to the
days when small waists were in
fashion. The Empire line is also ac-
centuated in evening frocks and short
jackets, but one does not yet see it
on day frocks; the individualist may
try it out, but the average dressmak-
er is content to work out the return
to the normal waist, which is no
slight problem in itself.
You may think that the problem
of the women who must get a small
waist is the more difficult one, as
flesh has a way of remaining where
it has gained a strong hold, but,
after all, the corsetiere faces the
worst Of the work. Unless she
knows how to skillfully handle the
shaping of a corset and can contrive
to give it a flexible appearance at
the normal waist line, the work of
the dressmaker is in vain and the
task of the woman who wants a
small waist is almost impossible
Again has a body blow been dealt
the woman who is stout. The large
waist line was her hope to be fash
ionable, and if it be taken away, what
will she do to be rightly dressed?
There is little insistence upon the
fashion for the high collar. Some OF
the best-dressed women are returning
to the rolling low one. and in Paris
they are wearing a collar that is high
at the back and cut away in front
There is no return to the shape that
shows the entire back of the neck,
but evidently women have thrust
aside the enveloping band under the
chin. That dire promise of an in
creased double chin worked wonders
in gaining a refusal for an uncomfor-
table fashion

back of the neck always, but they

Schools for All Tastes.

The folk schools of Finland are par
ticularly fine, with their cooking de-
partments, gymnasiums, manual train
ing and needlework. Every school has
excellent bathing facilities, and the
poorest children are fed at the schools.
There are little geological museums in
most of the schools. There are so
many varieties of schools, besides the
folk schools, elementary and higher;
there are lyceums, schools of forestry,
of agriculture and of navigation,
schools for training teachers, CONNER
cial schools, technical, music and art
schools, etc, says the Christian Her
aid. There are three little garden
schools in Finland, where boys as we'll
as girls are taught cooking. They
must learn to cook what they grow"
said one of the teachers. The dairy
schools are particularly interesting.
dairying comes second among the in
dustries of Finland. The pupil must
have worked for one year at a butter
factory before he or she will be ad.
mitted to the school.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody viii Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger

| WHITE ALWAYS IN ORDER
Woman Makes No Mistake When She
Supplies Herself With Many Gar
ments of That Color.

In looking ahead for summer sewing,
it is usually the white things which
are undertaken first, partly because
the materials for these do not vary so
much from year to year and partly one
has usually very definite ideas as to
how many skirts and blouses and tail
ored linens one will need, whereas a
little more thought is required before
laying in colored cottons. For morn
ing wear out of town, be it at the sea-
side or in the mountains, there is moth
ing smarter and cooler looking than a
white skirt and blouse 1t may be
more expensive to have them laun-
dered frequently, but they do not soil
SC readily out of the city and even if
they do they launder SO well and so
many times that in the end they are
far from being an extravagant luxury
For the woman of limited income the
white skirt and blouse are invaluable
and she can clothe herself for little
cost if she has good waist pattern

Customs of the Bedouins.

Such pride has the Bedouin in his
weapon that even in his leisure hours
nc sits fully armed, examining and
cleaning each piece in turn, making
himself accustomed to carrying their
weight.
From the time that he is eighteen
years Of age until he dies of old age
he is more or less looking out for new
wives.
By law Mohammedans are never al
lowed to have more than four at the
same time, but they easily evade this
regulation by divorcing one, which
means sending her back to her par
ents.
This is often because she has borne
him no souls, and it happens that the
old sheiks almost always have young
wives.
Just as it is allowable with them to
steal camels, so the young men help
one another to steal wives from other
tribes.

ALL ALONG SIMPLE LINES
Absence of FrivoIity Is the Distinguish
ing Mark of the BIouses of
the Moment.

The blouse of today carries with 1t
just those new touches which are so
typical of the moment, and which COM
bine so well the freshness of novelty
and the idea of utility
For every garment at present makes
a show at least of comparative SIM
plicity and an absence of frivolity.
Sometimes this is only a show, and
in reality the plainly and even severely
cut garment requires more careful cut
ting and mastery handling, and is
therefore really more expensive than
its more frivolous predecessor. In the
matter Of blouses, however, this is not
the case, and the best new models are
most happy in true simplicity, which
is quite the newest note in fashion,
and has no eXaggerations so far! The
most characteristic touches about
these new blouses are the high, close
collars and the long, tight sleeves,
both conveying a coy snugness.
But we are becoming more SEN
sible III the matter of dress. No more
airy and transparent garments for
winter wear and no heavy clothes and
furs for the summer! Another season
able note at present is the marked alb
sence of transparent materials for
morning wear, chiffon, lace and tulle
being relegated to afternoon and eve
ming models, excepting in the matter
of collars and tiny vests. The high
velvet blouse, with long sleeves and
an outstanding frill or a very small
turnover collar of lace, is one of the
best models.
1t has a scalloped edge, buttoned
over a vest of velvet, though this vest
might be made of self-colored chiffon
or net, and a tiny pointed collar of net
turned down over the outstanding col
lar of velvet The sleeves are set
Lit full into the shoulder and terminal
ing in a tight scalloped and buttoned
cuff. The square shoulders are anoth-
er very popular touch, and make a
change from the kimonocut sleeve,
which, though becoming and easy to
wear, does not fit under coat with
anything like the comfort of these
sleeves fitted into an armhole.

War I elephone.

Unlike Germany, France does not
believe in strewing the ground in the
rear of her armies with a mass of tele-
graph and cable lines, but prefers to
organize a few essential main lines of
communication, and trusts to automo-
biles, wireless and other means for the
interchange of comparatively unimpor-
tant messages.
The German army, on the other
hand, is obsessed by wire" mania,
and every little detachment must have
a telephone connecting it with every
other detachment, force, column or
staff officer within the country.

DICTATES OF FASHION

The braiding on velvet gowns is
most elaborate.
A straight line at the base of the
neck is decidedly trying.
Orange blossom girdles are a fea-
ture on the new bridal robes.
Sashes now often mold the hips, but
require the greatest care in arrange
ment.
Half and half stockings are new and
striking. The upper part of these new
stockings are in decided contrast to
the lower part.
In the coming season there will be
a great deal Of black millinery braid
used, also neutral shades and shades
matching the dress goods.

Use to garnish meats or add to soups,

Stuffed Onions.
Parboil large onions, remove cen
tiers without breaking other layers,
and stuff with seasoned crumbs or

Onion Custard.
Cook onions until tender; drain
thoroughly; pour over them a custard
mixture made of one egg, one-half cup
full milk, salt and pepper to taste, for
each half pint of onions. Bake gently
and serve as vegetable. In southern
Europe this dish is popular cooked in
crust, like small custard pies.
Onion Souffle.
Chop cooked onion fine or rub
through a coarse strainer; combine
with equal quantity soft bread crumbs
or half as many dry ones; season with
butter, salt, and pepper. For each
half pint, beat in one egg yolk and fold
in one stif1y beaten white. Put in
small dishes or in onion cases and
bake gently until firm.

The Useful Onion Tribe.

Onions owe their flavor to a vola-
tile, oil-like compound containing sui
phur. They are very succulent, but
nevertheless supply some nutritive
material. Many varieties are grown
by American farmers and gardeners,
and the crop is a very important one.
The tiny pearl and button onions are
convenient for salads or pickles or for
the hint of flavor wanted where a
large onion would be far too much
The white-skinned Egyptian onions
are usually a satisfactory variety.
There are many onions in the market
which are strong in flavor and tough,
and justify the prejudice which the
undiscriminating have against all
onions. In general, the greenish yell
low and red types of onions, owing to
their texture and flavor, are less sat
isfactory for cooking as a vegetable
than those of lighter hue.
Onion tops, like the stalks of wild
leeks and chives, can also be used for
fiavoring, especially the sprouts that
start when the bulbs have been kept
in a warm room.

Preparation of Onions.

To prepare onions, peel under wa
ter so that the volatile bodies which
affect the eyes may remain in the wa
ter and be kept from scattering.
Where the onions are especially strong
or liable to prove indigestible to any
one, they may be put. after peeling,
into boiling water, to each quart Of
which one-fourth teaspoonful of bicar-
Donate of soda has been added. After
letting them stand in this water half
an hour, drain and boil in plenty of
sailed water from one half to two
hours, according to the nature of the
variety in hand, changing the water if
desirable:
Often it is wise to take off one or
two of the coarser layers next the
outside skin and reserve them for fla
voring soups. while a part of the ten
der succulent center may be reserved
for salad. In cutting up an onion
for seasoning hold it with a fork so
that the onion odor will not get on
the hands.
