INVALID JUNKET.

For a sick child a refreshing and
nourishing drink is the whey made
from straining through a jelly cloth

made with essence of pepsin. The
pepsin is bought at the drug store
and it takes about two teaspoonfuIs
to ''set" pint of milk. This is mixed
in a cup set in boiling water to hard

broken with a spoon, the juice or
whey procured, as said, by the use of
a jelly cloth. The whey should then
be placed in a glass jar or other COW
cred receptacle and put on the ice

a time, as the doctor prescribes

TIME FOR SILENCE.

Whatever may have been thought OF
the statements made by William ]
Bryan in connection with his resig-
nation from the cabinet and the notes
which have been sent by this coun-
try to Germany, his last, which is d.
rected TO the Germans in this coun-
try, only adds to the puzzle. 1t is the
most sensible statement that he has
made but if he is laboring under the
impression that he has made his en-
tire attitude clear to the country he
is greatly mistaken.
In no instance has he shown a good
and sufficient cause for sending in his
resignation. His claims in that re-
gard have not been borne out by the
terms of the note which he was I'M
willing to sign. He was unquestion-
ably a handicap to the presidents Off
cial family in the effort to properly
handle the situation and his retirement
increases the harmony, but when he
attempts to lay it to the tone of the
note that excuse is not supported by
the rejoinder.
The advice which is given to the
German residents of this country by
the former secretary rs. however, filled
with common sense, however much it
may contradict the differences that were
to be drawn from his former declara-
lions. Whether he was brought to a
realization of his own jingoistic actions
is not indicated, but he apparently
realized the necessity of setting him
self right with those who were in
clined to place a wrong Interpretation
upon the attitude of the government
as the result Of his resignation. Thus
having apparently Topped from one
side to the other and raised a question
which it would have been better to
have left alone. it would appear that
Mr.. Bryan had well prepared himself
for a long period of silence.

GoRED SKIRTS AGAIN.

GOred skirts are rapidly appearing,
One of the latest models shown is
cut like an umbrella, with eight or
ten cores. The seams are Joined
by a cord and a cord finishes the
scalloped edges at the bottom of the
skirt. Each scalIop is the width of
the gore at the bottom. The many
gored skirt recalls skirts worn several
years ago, and one wonders if this is
forefunner of the once popular
organ-pipe skirts which had from IL
to Is cores and with the aid of hair
cloth were made to form a rounded
effect resembling the pipes of an or
gan.

HOW TO TREAT THE STING

To alleviate the stings given by
summer insects first remove the
sting with a needle if it is left in the
wound then press a key over the
stung part tightly. thus forcing out
the poison. Wash the wound and
apply a Imminent made of finely
scraped chalk and olive oil, mixed to-
gether to the thickness of cream.
In washing summer dresses of col
ored linen it is an excellent plan to
get a package of dye and put it into
boiling water, making just the shade
of the dress (test it first). And as
quickly as the dress is washed clean
and rinse in sailed water to set the
color; dip it in the dye and let it
stand two minutes. Then put it into
the starch and hang it on the line in
the shade, without wringing, and
iron while it is still damp.

KILLING MERCHANT MARINE.

The length of time that the Amer
lean flag will continue to fly in the
Pacific depends to a large extent upon
the support which is given to such
legislation as the recently enacted sea-
mems act. Already, though it is five
months before the law goes into effect,
it is plain that it is going to hamper
instead of help shipping, and while
the regulations which affect foreign
ships, and at the same time involve
existing treaty conditions, do not go
into effect until next year, there are
no indications that all will be read
lily agreed to.
For a great many years the Pacific
Mail Steamship company has been
operating many steamships, but the
impossibiIity of meeting the new re-
quirements of the seamen's act and at
the same time successfully compete
with foreign lines has been disclosed to
such an extent that no attempt will
be made to comply. The company will
go out of existence and with it fifteen
vessels which are now flying the flag
Of this country will probably go to
registration in other countries or be
placed in the domestic service.
For a country which is anxious to
build up its merchant marine and
which is also anxious to extend rather
than curtail its foreign trade this is
an unfortunate situation. No COM
pany of that character is apt to sac
rifice its business if there is a pos
sibility of meeting the requirements
of the new law and it is not likely
that the effects will be confined to
that company. They are going to be
a serious drawback to existing trans
oceanic transportation lines and a dis
coura cement to new ones.

FOR SEWING BASKET.

Among the many useful accessories
for the sewing basket are the scis-
sors, fitted in leather cases; these
may be bought singly or in sets of
two, three, four or five. A set of tape
needles is a help, a case of needles is
a necessity. One may find all sorts
OF novelties. There are the barrel
shaped cases, fitted with several COM
partments for the needles of differ
ent sizes; then there are the cases
like pocketboOks, supplied with nee
dies for fancy as well as plain sew
1ng. There are cases for the thimble
and others for thread. In tape meas
ures there are endless novelties, and
the same is true of the emery and
wax,

THE GARBAGE BUCKET.

If the housewife, after buying a
new garbage bucket, will paint the
inside black and then shellac it she
will find that it will last twice as
long. It will hold none of the odors
and will rinse out very easily, not
requiring the scrubbing which is
taken to keep the ordinary bucket
clean and sanitary. Then, if she will
fold newspaper. opening it first to
the fullest extent, in wide pIeats from
margin to margin, and. opening it
again, pull it into a circle, she will
have a perfect lining for the bucket,
which will insure its emptyiug clean
each time it is emptied

WATER LILY HATS.

Lucille, the famous dressmaker,
says that water lilies are coming into
fashion as a trimming for white
hats, which are going to be so much
favored this summer. And certainly
they have this in their favor-that
they give an impression of GOODNESS,
more especially if they be worn with
a dress which combines white and
leaf green.
A very f1lmy black gown can also
be effectively crowned by a black
hat enwreathed with these newly
favored water lilies instead of gar
denias.

of events is continually against the
decrepit contention of some people
that the evening paper is the best to
read and to advertise in. And none

The trouble with the discussion
now going on concerning political
appointments of judges for minor
courts is that it is either too late or
too soon to have much effect The
matter should be taken up when it
can have some influence on the leg
present method of making appoint
ments is open to sharp criticism.
Judges to be worthy the name or the
position must be as free from pre-
JUDGE and partizan bias as is possible
for men. Otherwise justice often
goes astray. The political appointee
is very apt to lean in marked degree
to the powers that placed him on
the bench. Connecticut has seen far
too much of that sort of thing. The
situation is absurd as it stands. The
person who aspires to the most mod
est of governmental positions must
tae severe examinations and prove
his qualifications and fitness for the
work, even if purely manual while the
person who is placed in one of the
most exacting positions that a man can
occupy-that of a judgeship-one that
requires unusual qualifications, is ask
ed only as to his political gang mem
bership. In vaudeville such a, distinc-
ton, such an absurd difference, would
be regarded as a farce calling for hi
Iarity. 1t would appeal to the sense
of the present, and it is not amusing,
even though it be farcical.-BristoI
