Old Fashioned Hop Beer

Please insert in the Corner a recipe for making old-fashioned hop beer, if con venient for you to do so. I shall watch the paper eagerly for it, as I very much wish to get the formula. A. M."
 Referred to English members who drank the home brew in the all so long ago. Having drunk "Old October" as an experiment in England after I was 40 years old, it seemed to my untaught pal ate like sweetened yeast. I have no doubt the recipe called for by our esteemed cor respondent would result in a similar'v favored beverage. All the same we shall be happy to publish it when better in formed readers contribute it.

Mildew on Linen

Would you kindly tell me how to take mildew stains out of fine sheet?
 MRS. R. M. S." You may take them out with oxalic acid or chlorinated soda, or, if you do not mind a slower operation cover the spots with lemon juice and salt made into a paste. Lay in the sun all day, wetting hourly with lemon juice. Rinse at night and soak in clear water into which you have stirred a spoonful of cream of tar tar. Repeat the process next day if ves- tiSes of the stain remain. If you use the oxalic acid or chlorinated soda, rinse well within 10 minutes after each appli- cation. The lemon juice is slow, but if does not rot the linen.

Richard Harding Davis was talking at Hemr stead about the exceedingly bad il- lrstrations to one of his stories.

HOLY CITY VISITED
. BY A WHITE
MAN
Adventurous Traveller Makes a
Trip at Risk of Almost Ger
tain Death.

CONsTANTINoPLE, Feb. 49,
Bronzed like o native son OF the des-
ert and In dress, speech and manners
an Arab, the only white man who
ever openly visited Medina, the Holy
City of the Mohammedans, has re-
turned here. The pilgrim was DR..
Karl Neufeld, the famous prisoner
Of the Mahdi,'' who was liberated by
Lord Kitchener in the Soudan many
years ago.
Few men have had n more ro-
mantle and exciting career than this
celebrated traveller. AS a physician,
teacher, merchant and contractor, he
went to the Soudan in 1886. When
the uprising Of the natives began he
was taken prisoner by the Mahdi and
kept in chains for twelve years.
Freed by Kitchener, he returned to
Germany, but after lecturlng tuor
he made his way back to the soudan.
Shortly after the outbreak of the
present war he had to leave his
adopted country again, as he was ex-
PEELED by the British authorities.
After his return to Germany he
was sent to Constantinople, where he
placed himself at the disposal of the
Turkish government. He was used
as an emlsary to the Arabian tribes
and for this work probably no man is
better qualified. As he speaks the
dialects OF all the Bedouin tribes,
knows their customs and has en-
braced the Mohammedan faith. he
wins confidence wherever he appears

He Can't Kiss Another
Mans Wife for
A Year

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.--It is not a
pleasant prospect that Joseph Suracti
a young Brooklyn salesman, faces
for he is under a 500 bond to re-
strain him from kissing other mems
wives for the next twelve months.
This action was taken following
his arrest on a charge preferred by
his wife.
My husbands conduct has be-
come intolerable," haid Mrs. Suraci
when the charge had been read, Two
nights ago he took me TO the home
of one OF his women friends. With
out word of warning he jumped
from his chair and kissed her."
"As an agent meet lots of men
and women" said the husband on
the stand. Competition is simply
fierce. If a kiss brings a sale, then
that's good craftsmanship. The other
night we went calling. My friend
said:
Kiss your wife, Joe; II you don't
1 will
II said II you do, I'll kiss yours,
and then we had a friendly little
kissing party. You know how 1t Is
yourself, Judge, when you go out for
little fun"
That is about all; don't bring me
into this replied Magistrate Steers.
For one year you are to kiss nobody
but Alice, your own wife, And you
must furnish 500 bond to hold you
in check"

with the machines made over here"
Lieutenant Scott said, partly because
your American manufacturers are
careless. You do not take the pains
in building a machine that the French
and British makers do. But it is part
ly also because you have not learned
the requirements.
"Do you know that in this country
the manufacturers actually do not
understand the specifications which
are imposed by the purchasing gov
ernmonts in regard to motor manu-
facturing-the quality Of steel and
such things?
Fine Figuring by English.

After organizing the Arabian tribes

went to Damascus and decided to VS.

became distrustful and they even
kept aloof from him when they saw
him say his prayers like every piols
Mohammedan. When he reached
Medina, the Ramazan, the great Mo-
hammedan festival, had just begun.
He placed himself under the protec-
ton Of prominent native who has
charge of the pilgrims from the Soil
dan, and his host conducted him TO
the Haremes-Sherlfa. the temple
where Mohammedan is buried with
his iavorite daughter, Fatma, and his
son-ln-law.
Surrounded by Mob.
When he stood before the crypt OF
the prophet the German traveller was
surrounded by an angry mob. HIS
position became quite critical until
two Arabians made their way through
the crowd and declared: :.
1--WE know him; he is the Effendi
OF Omdurman and Assuan, good
man and true Mohamme dan."
Even this did not entirely satisfy
the mob, and DR.. Neufeld was only
permitted to stay in the temple after
he affirmed his faith with a solemn
OATH For two or three weeks he was
continually watched by natives VINO
were not convinced by his religious
professions and by Egyptian spies IN

WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, Feb. 19.-Ger-
many lowered the Japanese nag on
the grounds OF the Panama-C California
international exposition a few days
ago and charged SS.4O for the Job.
The representatives Of the mikado
paid the bill and gave profound thanks
for the work.
1t was quite in contrast to con-
ditions existing on the other hemls-
phere ard provided one OF the many
signs Of neutrality among the sixteen
foreign nations that are participating
in the 1916 exposition. The flag OF
Japan was attached to the top OF a
heavy pagoda. In changing the Jap
anese exhibit it was desired that the
top Of the pagoda. weighing two tons,
be lowered. The japanese workmen
sought the aid of the Germans employ
ed on the German exhibit and with
derrick and tackle the work was done
and the time charged up to Japan.
The task required two hours for
seven men, at sixty cents an hour.
Henry B. Joy, president of the Pack
ard Motor Car Company, and president
of the Lincoln Highway Association,
and Samuel Hill, one Of Americas
greatest good roads" enthusiasts,
were visitors at the exposition at the
same time recently. An unprecen-
dented rain storm hit the coast during
their first visit, washing out roads and
bridges, but by making transfers, each
was able to return to Los Angeles
over the California highways when the
railroads we're not operating. and
when the steamship lines refused to
maintain their schedule. Both Joy
and Hill predict heavy travel to the
1916 exposition from the East.
A formal ceremony accompanied the
raising Of the German flag and the
German eagle over the exhibit of Ger
many at the exposition few days ago.
To show the absolute neutrality that
exists, NJ. Foucher, in charge OF the
French exhibits, actually decorated
the eagle with the German flag and
