NOT SUITABLE FOR THE NAVY
Wouid-5e Sailors Hardly Understood
the Duties Required of Fighters
on the Ships of U. S.

They tell story about certain
secretary of the navy who had never
seen ship, and who exclaimed, when
he began to explore a man-of-war.
Good gracious, it's hollow! This is
an unlikely yarn, but it is fact that
there are people who apparently know
as little about ship as Sioux In
dian.
Some weeks ago man visited the
receiving ship Wabash, lying at the
Charlestown (Mass.) navy yard. and
said he would like to ship. but would
not enlist if he could not be given
work to which he was accustomed.
He was not enlisted, for he would be
useless. He was paperhanger.
Another man went aboard and
asked to see the captain. He was in
formed that that official was very
busy. He then made his errand
known to the officer of the deck. He
wanted to enlist and care for the cap
tain's horse, for he was stableman.
Another wanted to enlist as ships
roofer, and once a gardener called to
obtain employment. Flowers and gar
dens are scarce on board of United
States man-of-war. so he failed to en-
ter the service.

HINTS FOR THE HOME COOK
Advice That Is the Result of Com
bined Experience of Practical
Housekeepers.

A little grape Juice, beaten egg
white, added to lemonade forms a de-
Hcious, healthful drink.
Bacon rinds are good boiled with
cabbage, string or soup beans.
Prunes cooked in the oven after
soaking over night, seasoned and
sWeetened to taste, are much richer
than If stewed.
Ar blowing on bread sponge will
keep it from rising and may spoil 1t
entirely.
IL eggs are boiled in sailed water
the shells will peel easily.
A generous pinch of salt added to
nour for thickening, before mixing
with water. tends to keep it from be-
ing lumpy.
"hen roasting a fowl stun the
breast with pared and cut up sweet
potatoes; the flavor is surprising.
When separating whites and yoIks
OF eggs a speck of yolk slips into
the white; to remove this easily. din
a clean cloth into warm water, wiring
dry, touch the speck with the end of
this and it will cling to it.
Vegetables TO be cooked by boiling
should be put into boiling water, as
little as possible. and If the water
Is added let it be boiling hot. Steam
ing Is best for most vegetables.

Rich Bride Cake.

Take four pounds sifted flour, four
pounds of sweet, fresh butter, beaten
70 cream, and two pounds of white
powdered sugar. Take six eggs for
each pound of -four, an ounce of
ground mace or nutmeg and a table
spoonful 90 lemon extract or orange
flower water. A very pretty way in
which to present pieces of this cake
to your guests is to cut out each piece
in the shape of a heart, and put on
each separate piece the initial. in
frosting, of each guest to whom the
cake is to be given. Present the cake
in either pink gilt-edged, heart-shaped
boxes, or, If you cannot go to the ex-
pense of having the boxes made, wrap
the pieces in frilled tissue paper, tied
with dainty pink silk baby ribbon.

GO BACK TO TARIFF
Administration Forced to Course
of Wisdom.
Party In Power on the Point Of Admit
ting That the Principles Of the
Republican Party Were
Correct.

Slowly but surely the administra-
ton is turning to the tariff as the best
and easiest way u raise revenue for
current expenses. The announcement
that the treasury department will rec
ommend the suspension of the free
sugar clause of the tariff bill is fol-
lowed now by intimations that small
duty will be restored on raw wool.
whioh was placed on the free list by
the Underwood law.
Restoration of the duty on sugar will
yield an additional revenue of 100000
900 to the treasury. The suspension
Of the free-sugar clause will make no
addition to the present resources of
the treasury. but will prevent a loss
OF $50,000.000 or 100000. 900 next year
Bonds. of course. will be necessary
to provide for the increases in the
army and navy. The public will ap-
prove OF such an issue of bonds, and
there is no difficulty involved here.
But 1t Is necessary. in addition, to
meet the present deficit, amounting
now to $4,000 900, with the prospect
OF growing to $1O0,000,O00 by the end
Of the present fiscal year.
The administration, in our judg-
ment, shows good judgment in turning
to the tariff. The FIRST steps have been
taken and. even though it should mean
surrender of opinion held In the pas,
the movement should be pursued tn
the natural end.
What the La Toilette blunder will
do to the American merchant marine
on salt water. and especially on the
Pacific, is already painfully evident.
That it is not to let the shipping OF
the Great Lakes escape unhurt has
also been disconcertingly demonstrate
ed. Its prompt correction by the new
congress could be taken for granted.
if 1t could only be assumed that public
opinion in parts of the country not d.
rectly interested in ships could be
made to understand what staggering
blow the last congress, possibly with
the best intentions in the world, dealt
a merchant marine already nearly ex-
terminated by decades of legislative
neglect, error and abuse.

The Cotton Futures Decision.

One of the crazy performances Of
the same Democratic congress which
put the lunacy known as the La Fol-
lette seamen's law on the statute
books was the cotton futures act. This
provided in substance for the govern
ment regulation of the cotton ex-
changes. not only in this country but
abroad, by invoking federal taxing
power to discriminate against ex-
changes which did not comply with
the government rules. Apparently the
cotton futures act has received it's
coup de grace from the decision of
Judge Hough in the federal district
court that it never was law because
1t was passed in contravention of the
constitutional requirement that all
bills to raise revenue must originate
in the house of representatives.

DRYING WITHOUT USE OF IRON
Curtains May Be Turned Out in First
Class Shape II These Methods
Are Employed.

Place two extension brackets on the
wall about six feet apart and seven
feet from the floor. If wall is plas-
tered, be sure they are in a studding
In the Dashboard, directly under each
bracket, place a screw hook with the
hook turned down. Chose which come
with curtain rods are BEST. Get two
narrow Stats about six feet long from
a carpenter shop. Wash curtains, and
while wet run one sIat through frill
and place on brackets. Run other
slat through hem and catch under
lower hooks. Put on one pair at a
time. Full them on Stats slightly and
they will dry in beautiful folds. They
cannot stretch. and require no iron
ing. not even the edging. Lower
hooks may be adjusted if curtains are
not all one length.

Bleaching Linen.

The linens of olden days were handed
down from mother to daughter. but
such is far from being the case to-day,
owing to the difference in bleaching.
Where formerly it took months of
sunshine and rain to bring about the
desired wilderness, now it is done in
two or three days by means of strong
mineral gases whose fumes bleach. ac-
cording to their strength, more or less
quickly. So it is not a poor idea to
buy linen which is not yet bleached
white, as few trips to the laundry
will remedy this, and in addition it is
cheaper, for the bleaching process is
a costly one. Then, too, tho use of
tablecloths and sheets would be
heightened, appreciably, since over
bleaching rots the fibers. This is why
blouses seem to melt away in spots
