Haunt of Bluebeard and Blackboard

Haunt of Bluebeard and Blackboard
Blackboard" 1t seems, was as picturesque
a ruffian as ever graced a deck. Edward
Teach his name was His early hero was
Sir Francis Drake, pirate, too. Piracy was
then quite the fashion, and praised and pro-
NOTED by the best kings and queens. Good
Queen Bess was their patron, IL they happened
to be Englishmen Teach had scruples for
q while about attacking English vessels, but
when he finally overcame them and took to
hauling down the English flag and hoisting
the jolly Roger in it's place, why then he blos-
somed out into thoroughgong, piratical
pirate. There's a fine lesson taught by his
life. There ought to be. His name was
Teach. Teach knew the value of appearance
That was worth a good deal. He grew
tremendous beard, which upon occasion he
braided and tied with a ribbon. Sometimes
he placed sticks of pitch pine over his ears
and lighted the ends. His crew thought him
Satan incarnate. Charleston and Philadelphia
knew him well and had a similar opinion of
him.
"Buebeard" and Blackboard" are gone,
but in recent years st. Thomas has been
the ftting-out place of more than one fill
clustering expedition, such as enliven the po-
litical life of the West Indies even to this
day. Mostly there is peace. Moss grown
fortresses and dismantled battlements testify
of the time when cannon protected certain
passages and channels of the sea through
which it was necessary for traders to pass
in the era before steam. But these ruins
are appropriate to the general situation
1t exists in the Danish West Indies A heavy
expense to Denmark are ST. Thomas and
the other islands; but the burden is growing
and not decreasing. If Denmark is ready to
sell, will Uncle Sam buy? The question was
asked in 1867, when the United States Senate
baked; and again in 1901, when the Danish
Landsthng voted no. And now?

Tom Daly's Column

"DERHAPs spring comes earlier in the

washington; "at any rate this morning 1

What is the FIRST sign of spring in Phila-
delpha7
There was one very early sign that we
ourself often noticed, but that was many,
many years ago. We're afraid we can't sing
of IT now as we might have sung once. The
modern newspaper office is different-and
there have been other changes.

Whose titan labors shake their humid ldir

And toith the mu11ed din

But lacked the subtle charm 1ohich noto they

At any rate, that's the way the spring
was wont to come to us first in the old local
room years ago. Before that we remem-
Der, we never could be persuaded that the
spring had arrived until we had had the
joy of smelling the horsehide cover of a new
baseball. But what now is the first sign of
spring in Philadelphia?

| SEPARATION and salt water. one, clean
them; two, color them. OF course. if
the color is actually faded out cleaning
| will hardly do any good. Often. how
ever, things that are af9:jarently faded
are only badly soiled. and thorough
! cleaning is all that they need.
The market is full of cleaners and
colorers of various sorts SO, if you
have Il soiled white straw hat, first try
cleaning it with some bottled or boxed
preparation and then, if it remains
soiled looking, try coloring it with
some other preparation.
So, too, if white frock or blouse
seems yelloWish or grayiSh, boil it hrst
III water to which little washing soda
is added. If it beaches nicely, well
and good. If not, get some dye and
dye il to some pretty shade of pink or
blue.
Rag rugs that have been washed so
many times that they are losing their
color can be satisfactorily dyed. The
color in them will modify the color of
the dye, to some extent, SO count on
that when you are choosing the color
to dye them.
There are many satisfactory hat
dyes with which straw hats can be
colored easily in almost any shade.
Follow the explicit directions always
given with these commercial coloring
liquids to get the best results.
For faded pink lingerie, remember,
there are bottles of pink liquid 70 re-
store it's original hue. A few drops Of
red ink to bowl of water, too, will
brighten pink lingerie. and so will u lit
