 For ten minutes he was helpless, while those above continued to pump air to him. but finally by superhuman efforts he was able to pull his hand out of his rubber glove and then. be fore the onrushing water could over come him. he jerked the life line and was hoisted to the top.
 Culbert was none the worse for his experience. although it was some time before he was able to resume his work.

USING FRUIT THAT IS SOFT
Various Methods by Which IL May Be Prepared in Appetizing Way
 for the Table.

Any fresh fruit that has become soft should be cooked at once with little sugar added to make sauce, or it can be made into jelly.
 Any leftover canned fruit may be rubbed through sieve and used for a sauce It may be put into ice cream or molded into a cornstareh or rice mixture.
 Apple parings and cores should be stewed to a pulp and then strained. This will make a jelly which. spread on apple tart, will greatly improve 1t. It can also be used for fiavoring tapi- oca pudding.
 Orange peel and lemon peel may be used for fiavoring sauces and stewed fruits. They can be dried and kept in a glass-covered jar until used.

REALIZE VALUE OF HONEY
Its sweetenins Qualities Seem Never to Have Been Sufficiently
 Recognized.

Few housewives realize the value of honey, yet in sweetening qualities it surpasses sugar Grapefruit. for in stance, is much enhanced by a treat ment with honey Prepare as you would for breakfast when sugar is used, only prepare the night before Spread the fruit with a thick layer of honey and let stand till morning It will then be found that the fruit has absorbed the honey.
 Apples baked with honey are an- other dsllcacy not too vel known In this recipe also the apples are pre- pared just the same as though for sugar. For six or eight apples take four tablespoOnfuls of honey Mix with one cupful of fine bread crumbs and a half teaspoonful each of cin- namon and lemon extract. Flll the ap- ples, which have been peeled and cored. with the mixture and bake in a porcelaln-lined baking dish hat has been we'll creased.
 For bread pudding make a custard, using one cupful milk ard three table spoonfuls honey and a pinch of salt Bring to the boiling point and add two well-beaten eggs. Take from the fire and stir till cool. then pour over stale bread toasted lightly and dusted lightly with cinnamon Bake In a moderate oven half an hour.
 Spice cake can be much improved by using honey instead Of sugar Cream together one scant eupful but ter and one and one-half cupfuls honey. Add alternately two weli- beaten eggs, one-half cupful milk, three cupfuls four in which two tea spoonfuls baking powder have been sifted, one cupful each of raisins and entrants and one tablespoonful all- spice. Bake in a moderate oven until brown.

Stale Bread.

Small bits of stale bread may be slowly dried in the oven until crisp and brittle, then ground in a meat chopper or rolled. These bread crumbs should be kept in a covered glass jar. and may be used for frying croquettes. etc.
 Larger pieces of stale bread may be eaten with soup in place of crackers or used to make croutons for soup (croutons are little squares of bread fried in fat They are usually served with pea, bean and creamed soups).
 Small pieces and broken slices of stale bread may be used for stuffing. for griddle cakes, bread omelet and buildings.

B0WERY |S ORDERLY
New York Thoroughfare Not as
 Black as Painted.
For One Man Who Would Insult Lone Woman, Hundred Would Fight for Her-is Port of
 Missing Men.

New York-"There is nearly as much crime committed in Fifth avenue every day in the week as there is in the much-abused Bowery," says Fa- ther William J. Rafter, in charge of the Holy Name mission in the Bowery. "A lady could start from Cooper square and walk on one side of the Bowery down to Park row and back again on the other side and there wouldn't be one slurring remark passed regarding her If any man dared there would be hundred ready to fight him.
 In the mind of the average citizen the name 'Bowery' is one of evil re- pute-the recognized habitat of brazen vice and unfettered crime He believes that no one lives within it's orime-steeped precincts except the predatory and murderous denizens of the underworld. To him 1t is the Bowery of fiction.
 How vastly different is the poor old Bowery today. Its character may be summed up in three words poor but respectable. Physically considered, it is one of the main arteries of the city's downtown traffic. Across it at every block the East side pours it's teeming thousands into the Broadway business district It is practically the Broadway of the East side On both sides it is lined with retail stores of every description. By night it is lighted by store and street lamps. and during the day the side walks are crowded with people. Its people-and there are as many as 25,000 of them-are mostly honest, harmless, law-abiding men. Poor? Yes. Many of them would be abso- lutely homeless were it not for the cheap lodging-houses where for ten or fifteen cents one may obtain shelter for the night. It Is the Mecca of the poor and unfortunate. We have many college graduates within our midst, and most of them come from good homes.
 There is scarcely town or city in the country which has not at least one representative on this thoroughfare. Indeed the Bowery belongs to the whole world There is no better place to look for a missing man Only the other day two young girls came to me seeking to learn the where abouts of their father. whom they hadn't seen in years. I expected the man to call about six o'clock. for 1t so happened that he was one of my spe- cial charges. It was scarcely five. so they went to a small restaurant near to have bite to eat. Scarcely were they seated when the door opened and in came their father with a shovel over his arm. I had helped him to save some money from his small wages and he now is an inde- pendent. upright man.
 Few of our men are drunkards, though 1t is the common belief that habitues of the Bowery spend every penny they get on liquor. Our men do not drink. On the contrary, when they have a little money they pay back what they owe or save it for rainy day"

 Do you love me true?
 George, dear. George. dear.
 I'm certain that you do.
 Please get up and light the fire.
 Turn the gas little higher
 Run and tell your Aunt Marian
 Babys got tooth
 They were singing this recently at the Marin county almshouse-and there's not a baby in the place. It was all over Uncle Peter T. Hansen. who was celebrating his eighty-fifth birthday and who had been feeling poorly of late. For three or four days he was in bed. suffering from a high fever.
 They thought it was all up with Uncle Peter.
 There was a consultation between County Physician J. H. Kuser and Dr. Waid J. Stone. Something had to be done. Finally the seat of trouble was found in Uncle Peters mouth.
 Uncle Peter had four nice new mo- lars, two upper and two lower and what luck.-opposite each other. Uncle Peter ate chicken that night for his dinner. And he was just as proud of his new worries as was the baby's mother in the song.
