Of the way the Turks attempted to
block the river. British monitors were
pressing close upon the retrenting Tur-

shells into It's rear guard. The Tur-
kish admiral hurriedly threw three
ships across the river and scuttled
them. The middle ship was a fine
German liner containing cargo. The
British contemplate salvaging her. The
others were smaller ships-one light
ship and the other small steamer.
The plan was admirable. but It was
engineered with characteristic Turkish
inetliciency, and the small steamer on
the right swung clear Of the channel
and fouled the liner before she sank.
The Turks are bit superstitious about
the Tigris and they declare the river
foiled their plans because 1t did not
wish to bore through the river bank

have done had the admiral been sue

sharp vinegar, two ounces OF cloves

Peel the peaches and insert one or
two cloves in each. Boil the sugar
and vinegar with the cinnamon for
five minutes, then put in the peaches.
When the fruit is tender, remove 1t
carefully from the strip and put 1t
Into Jars. Boil the strip until re-

An old-fashioned method of preserv-
Ing peaches was to fill the jars with
the whole fruit, peeled and covered
with sugar; bury three feet in the
ground below the frost.
Spiced Peaches.-For six pounds of
fruit use three pounds Of granulated
sugar and one pint of vinegar. Into
each peach insert two cloves. Put
into the sugar and vinegar ono ounce
Of cinnamon, which should be in n
cheesecloth bag, and boil. When the

thick, for about three-quarters of an

four quarts of peaches use three pints

the fruit is ready, drop into the boil

When Booker Washington pub
lished his account Of his own life IS

Negro BUSINESS league had just been

kegee for which Carnegie partly paid
had been built, and before the famous
lunch with President Roosevelt, his
educational work was In full tide. 1t
Is now possible to see his labors as

to give him credit for many accom-.
plishments that with natural modesty
he himself attributed largely to cir
cumstances or to others.
The main facts In Booker Washing
toms career are well known: How
he was born In slave hut in a re-
mote part Of western Virginia, year
or two before the Civil war broke out
how after the war his stspfather and
mother (his father Is unknown) re-
moved to Maiden, w. va, to work
there in salt and coal mines how, held
back by his step-parent but encouraged
By his mother. he learned to read and
attended night school; how in 1872
he walked, begged, and worked his
way to Hampton Institute; and how
after his graduation from Hampton
the path of opportunity opened before
him when in 1881 he was appointed
organizer and teacher Of a new Negro
normal school at Tuskegee. Many
may not know that the most important
day i'll his later career was that on
which he delivered an address in 1895
at the Atlanta and Cotton States In
ternational expOsitio n-6ne for which
President Cleveland sent him a letter
Of thanks. "A few doubtless know that
