Blow the Steam Aside.

The wise woman sent sudden vigor- ous puff of breath at the jet of steam rising from the copper teakettle she was tilting. repeated it hastily as she filled the blue teapot and set the kettle back on the stove with nod of tri umph. That trick has saved me many a scalded hand" she asserted. "Wheth- CT read it or was told it am not sure, but until tried it was always getting most painful little burns. Steam is so easily blown aside if you have the presence of mind to remember it that you can easily keep it from reaching your hand until you can set down the kettle or pot. Don't forget it next time the lid slips or the steam comes unex pectedly from the kettle spout. You will bless me for the hint."-New York Tribune.

HIS ODD YACHTING COSTUME.
1t Made General Paine Conspicuous ,s
 the Amsrjca's Cup Races.

It Made General Paine Conspicuous ln
 the Amsriea's Cup Races.
 General Charles J. Paine was in his day a unique figure in the yachting world While in no way eccentric. he had one little pecnliarity that. l am sure. all the older yachtsmen will re call. This was his habit of wearing q white shirt and pair of blazing led suspenders when sailing his yacht, his head being covered with a straw hat By this radical departure from the O. thodox costume he was easily made the most conspicuous figure around the tiller of his boat in every important match in which he sailed.
 His most active yachting period was from 1877 to 1893. during which period he was thrice the leading man in the syndicates formed to build respectively the Puritan. the Mayflower and the Volunteer each a successful defendel of the Americas cup against the Eng fish challengers.
 Always a daring yachtsnan in so fla, as taking up with what were looked upon as innovations, he did not hesi tate in the case of the Puritan to ac cept the designs of Edward Burgess even though they called for marked change from the old fashioned Ameri can sloop in that the keel was an oaE stick tifty-six feet long and twenty-siX inches square. to which was attached the lead keel of forty-five feet.
 In 1893 he was interested in the uI lucky but speedy Jubilee. When she was outclassed by the Vigilant he los; his dominating interest in yachting. Spur.

IA MAN AGAINST A WHOLE NATION

The most curious European war
 ever waged was that which in the
 sixteenth century, the period of the reformation and the renaissance, was
 carried on single handed for betwenh five and six years between a bank rupt grocer of Berlin and the elector
 of Saxony, who was the most power
 full German prince of the period.
 The grocer's name was Hans Kohl hase, and the immediate cause of the quarrel was the arresting of two of his horses in the electors territory, he being a subject of the elector of
 Brandenburg.
 Failing to get redress, he adopted
 what was then a perfectly legal ey-
 pedient and declared formal war o' the realm of Saxony. The declaration was accepted in due form, and the
 war began.
 , The extraordinary part of the story
 is that the grocer kept the war up for nearly six years practically single handed and even went to the extremi !ty of declaring war on his own sov
 ereign in the meantime before he
 was caught He burned farms and even villages, employed mercenaries after the fashion of the times and made himself the terror of. the dis ,trict.
 Kohlhase was finally influenced to stop hostilities by Luther, and after he had taken the sacrament iron. his hands he was betrayed into further act of hostility by treachery and, being captured, suffered deatr on the wheel after refusing an act of grace which granted him the pain less and honorable death of the sword.
 The story is perhaps the stranges. ;of all the romances of that romantic |age. ge.-Westminister Gazette.

TUNGSTEN PRICE IS
 WIDELY DECREASED

In all the metals which were buoy cd up to high record prices as result lof the extraordinary demand due to ithe European war there has prob- ably been no greater slump than in tungsten, which from high level of I$S7.5O per unit has fallen to SIS. Tungsten goes into the manufac- 'ture of high grade tool steel and when the thrush of war orders came to this country two years ago a shortage of the best tool steel exist led. To replace the shortage there was Ia veritable stampede for tools of highest quality and this necessitated Ia great demand for tungsten. Some of the foreign sources of supply were shut off and this made the situation the more serious. k
 Prior to this abnormal demand tungsten was quoted at around $7 a unit of 60 per cent material. By leaps and bounds it shot forward until a record prisce was established at S875O of $5250 a ton compared with a normal price of $420 a ton.
 The pressure from tool makers having largely subsided tungsten has sought a natural level and there have been recent sales at $17.50 and SIS dollars a unit.

The Auger Fish

The auger fish. half fish, half crab, is the terror of all vessels but ironclads that use the south seas. This creature, which is not bigger than an almond, has a proboscis like an enlarged knat sting that can bore through even sheet iron. Auger fish frequent many of the lagoons of the coral islands and burrow holes for themselves in the coral, but they have a preverse habit of doing the same things to ships lying at anchor, and the damage generally shows itself when next the vessel is At sea in bad weather, with disastrous results.

 Here is . fragment of Frederick W. Stewards story Of hIa fathers pur- cbase of Alaska from Russia for the United States in 1SGT. ns told in Rem. lniscences of Wartime Statesman and Diplomat"
 On the evening of Friday. March %. Seward was playing whist in bis par Tor with some of his family. when the Russian minister was announced.
 Il have a dispatch. Mir. Seward. from my government by cable. The em peror gives his consent to the cession. Tomorrow. if you like. I will come to the department and we can enter upon the treaty..
 Seward. with a smile of satisfaction. pushed away the wrist table. saying:
 "Why wait till tomorrow. Mir. Stoeckl? Let US make the treaty to- night"
 "But your department is closed. You have no clerks. and my secretaries are scattered about the town.
 Never mind that" responded Se- ward. "If you can muster your lega- ton together before midnight you will find me awaiting you at the depart ment. which will be open and ready for business"
 Tn less than two hours afterward light was streaming out Of the win dows of the department of state. and apparently business was going on as at midday. Ky 4 o'clock on Saturday morning the treaty was engrossed signed. sealed and ready for transmits sion by the president to the senate.

AGE LIMIT ON CHIEFS

Paris, Dec 25.-Premier Clemen-

eral Petain and all the army chiefs
pointing out that the experience of
three years of war has shown that ex-
listing age limits are too high and that
with a few rare exceptions commands
are not effectively exercised at over
SIS years for a regiment. So for a bri-
gade, so for a division and IS for an
army corps
Under these conditions he adds gen.
eral and field officers over the seas
must be given commands hereafter in

the minister of war. The only excep-
ton to this rule will be general Off
GERS recommended to retain their com
mands on the personal responsibility

KILL PRAIRIE DOGS
Now Is the Best Time to Poison Them.
Professor Says.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 25.-Be-
tween now and March 1 is the time TO
kill prairie dogs with poison Their
natural food is scarce, and they will
readily eat poisoned bait, points out
DR.. r. K Nabours, professor of zooI-
ogy in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
There may be some excuse for per-
sons allowing gophers, rats and mice
to commit depredations, because they
are difficult to poison or trap, but
prairie dogs are so easily poisoned that
there is hardly any fun in it. The
zoology department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college gives sim
pie directions for the eradication of
prairie dogs. An effective poison is
manufactured by the college and sold
at cost.
