CANNING AND PRESERVING.

Chestnut Preserves-Cover blanch-
ed chestnuts with boiling water and
simmer slowly about one and one half
hours. Make syrup of sugar and
water, cook until thick, add equal
parts of nuts and syrup and cook one
hour. Strain out nuts and reduce Sy-
rup. Place chestnuts in glass jars.
Flavor syrup with vanilla, have it very
thick and pour over nuts. This makes
a very rich preserve and is delicious
in pudding sauces, puddings, etc.
Ounces (ways to use them)-Pare
and slice thin some ounces. Pare and
slice sweet apples thin. Dry in mod
crate oven. with door shut to exclude
air While drying they become white
and nice looking. When wanted, stew
with plenty of WAGER and little su-
gar Good for the sick. In fever ii
kills thirst.
Save ounce seeds, dry them. make
syrup by stewing them. Sweeten with
honey; good for colds.

identity of the bones, whether Of a
white woman and child or of Indians.
When domestic relations in the
Wilson home were Jared to the
breaking point, the wife left, taking
the child with her. Months later a
pile of bones was found under bluff
near his home and Wilson was ar
rested. He insisted that he was in
ignorance of the whereabouts of wife
and child, but it was testified at the
trial that he had threatened the wife
with violence il she returned. He
was convicted.
Persons interested in Wilson for
warded the bones to the Department
Of Archives and History of Alabama,
with the view of having them identi-
fed. Director Thomas NJ. Owen OF
tie department exhibited the relics in
the capitol where thousands of per-
sons viewed them, and finally, when
the information desired was beyond
MIN, sent the bones to the curator of
the Smithsonian Institute at Wash
lpGton.
Now the bones have been returned
by DR.. A. Hartlicke, Smithsonian ex
pert, with the report that they came
from four or five children and adults
but that there is 20 possibility OF
identifying them as to race. He ad
deo, however, that they evidently
came from very old burial, and this
opinion is regarded as highly favor
able for Wilson in his petition to thu
Board of Pardons.

Winter Style Ne1Us

Dresses are truthfully beautiful
styles for street, afternoon and even
ing wear, in every conceivable color
and combination are on display. Styles
vary from the conservative to the ex-
treme, while effects are so varied as
20 make it almost impossible to pick
out the most beautiful, the most fasci-
mating. The most noticeable change
is the missing flare, while skirts are
full, the flare seems to have left. Day
dresses are built mostly of satin, char.
meuses, and esreges, while there is a
general use of newer and novelty fab
rics.
The evening coats are full length
and in wide ripple flare. The
sleeves are of the dolman type or
else are very wide sleeves and set on
at the low armhole.

on the style of the garment or on its

The salient feature in the waists
receiving the strongest endorsement
at retail is simplicity in design. The
frill, which was SO popular last sea-
son, has now been wholly displaced
by the smooth finish with touches OF
hand embroidery or beading.

and cuffs, but mostly in motif form

LIFE OF STEAMSHIP
HAS HUMAN TOUCH
Belle Of Waters, Like Belle of tbs
Ball, Is Here Today and Gone
Tomorrow

Tomorrow.
Seattle, Wash.-Out of the mists of
the forgotten past, decrepit and worn,
yet with lingering traces of heavy
beauty that told of sweeter days
suggestive of nothing so much as the
aged shadow of once lovely woman
came the old steamship Victorian,
from an almost forgotten past.
The long-lined vessel that once
reigned as undisputed belle of the
Puget Sound fleet was recently towed
to the beach near Seattle and run
ashore. There she is to be stripped
of anything of value she has left.
Then she will be given to the flames.
Time was when waterfront eyes
frightened and hearts beat faster as
the Victorian sped at 20-knot clip
out Of Seattle harbor for Victoria,
B. 9. In those days she alone could
take the measure Of the Flyer. No
Puget Sound boat ever exceeded the
Victorian's record until the appear
ance Of the Puget Sound Navigation
Company's speedy Tacoma" three
years ago.
Built of wood, in Portland, Ore, in
1891, for the old Oregon Railroad and
Navigation Company, the Victorian
was long and slender, having length
Of 2423 feet, beam of 36 feet and a
depth of 15.5 feet. She was of 1904
gross tons. She was designed espe-
cialiy for the Oregon Railroad and
| Navigation Company's Tacoma-Seat-
tle-Victoria service. ]. H. Steffin Of
Portland was the builder. Even in
those days the travelling public was
fond of speed and the slim-hulled
Victorian's record shows that they
got it.
The Victorian was designed by
Capt. ]. w. Troup, now marine super.
intendent of the Canadian Pacific
Railway company's fleet ofVancouver
Speed and more speed was the de-
mand Of the owners, and hence they
ordered engines of tremendous power
for a vessel of her size and type
The engines. in fact, were so large
that to install them it was necessary
to cut away some of the vessels tim
bers. As a result the Victorian was
like human being that lives toe
fast, burning the candle at both ends
Her heart was too big and powerful
for her body. So she had a swift
but short career. Her engines shool
the life out of her.
In hitting up the high spots of life
she passed from time to time from
one control to another. She gav'
good-and always speedy-service il
the Puget Sound-Victoria route. Thel
in 1888 she Joined the Alaska flee
that was called into existence by tn
Klondike rush. At one time she wa
operated by Dodwell & Co. AT anothe
time she shone for period in tn
Bellingham run when she wa
commanded by Captain Clancy,a prom
inent mariner. Then in 1907 she fe
under the control of the Canada
Pacific Railway Company, which use
her for while as car ferryboat b'
tween Vancouver and Nanaimo.
After that she sunk into obscurity
played out by an excessive speed
She passed into the ownership of tn
late w. D. Hofius. Some time ago sh
was sold by the Hofus estate TO tn
Goldberg interests of Vancouver.
the meantime she had lain idle fo
years in the East Waterway, Seattle
but recently has lain at Eagle HarboI
There were no moist eyes when tn
Victorian was towed to her funeri
pyre. Faded bellies rarely win
tear.

Hutchison, Kan.--A use has been
found for the whisky and brandy
seized from blind tigers in this State,
and the practice of feeding it to the
fish has terminated. Instead, these
liquors are converted into anti-freez-
ing mixtures for application to water
cooled motor trucks and cars owned
and operated by counties and NUM-
cipalities. Beer and wines are still
poured into the streams.
Hutchison has four motor fire
trucks, also police and city in
spector's car. Along about Nov. Of
each year it is necessary that the
water-cooling system in use on them
be supplied with an anti-freeze solu-
ton. Last year Mayor Gleadall tried
out the whisky and brandy confs-
Gated and held by the police for this
purpose, and it worked SO well that It
has been adopted by the Mayor as
permanent.
The amount of alcohol in the
liquors runs from 60 to 70 per cent,
which is about the right proportion to
insure against freezing in any tenn
perature which Kansas has thus Tar
experienced.

What is Christian liberty? A man

which Injuries his brother. Paul says
1t is good to do this: 1T is good not
to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to
do anything whereby thy brother

Choosing is an act of christian love.

Particularly does it help young people

ments. How often parents live up 10
this great christian privilege. They re-

things which would harm their chill
dren, even If they would be no harm
to themselves, All our pleasures and
actions must be determined on that
basis. The safety of others is the
basis of christian decision.
