He Got His Coal.

The following story is vouched for
by the representative of one of the
largest coal interests in this city:
"An ingenious scheme was put
through recently by fairly well-to-do
citizen in New York who was at his
wits end to replenish his depleted coal
supply, having been turned down on re-
peated orders. Putting on an old suit
Of clothes he made application for a
position as coal driver at one Of the
principal yards in his immediate local
ity. AS there is a great scarcity Of
help to move coal at present, owing to
the rigors Of the cold spell, he was ac-
cepted without a minutes delay and
was intrusted with q cart Of coal and
also with the bill of the same, on the
basis Of immediate cash from the GUS
toner whose legitimate order had been
filed. The self-styled coal driver made
remarkably quick time with his load
which he straightway deposited in his
own cellar. He returned In due course
to the coal yard, turned over the cash
and forthwith resigned his job as be-
ing too arduous for his taste.-Finan-
cial America.

Brown Sugar, Among Other + '''--
: old Time Necessities, Now .
r. I'd, Found Best For Many Uses

1--WE must get out our old cook books
and revive some Of the things our
grandmothers used to make" says
Prof. Mary Rausch of the department
of home economics, University of Wash
ington, in commenting in that un1ver-
sity's newsletter on the necessity that
faces housekeepers of learning how to
do without granulated sugar for cook
ing. ..'7"'
When the cook books that were
printed in our grandmothers' day
speak of sugar they do not mean the
granulated sugar to which we are ac-
customed, but the heavier, dark, moist
sugar that has flavor resembling mo-
lasses or rum. For many purposes
this is really better than the granu-
lated white sugar. One of the largest
bakers in Seattle uses nothing else,
dnd he says the flavor of all sweetened
breads is much improved by it.
Brown sugar or sirup should be used
in all biscuits, mullins, cakes, puddings
and pies. For years the best ginger
breads and spice cakes have been made
with nothing else. And there are many
candies for which it is better than
white. A delicious cake icing is made
by boiling brown sugar to a sirup and
pouring it over the stif1y beaten
whites of eggs.

Hnw to Tell Ace of Ends.

There is q simple method of ascer-
tanning the age of eggs, based upon the
fact that the airy space at the broad
end of the egg increases with its age.
Now, when the egg is placed in a
tumbler Of water in which any amount
Of common salt is dissolved, 1t will,
with increasing age, tend ever more to
assume q position with its longitudinal
axis in a perpendicular direction. A
fresh laid egg will lie horizontally on
the bottom of the vessel. An egg from
three to four days old will rise with its
broad end, so that its longitudinal axis
forms with its horizontal axis an angle
Of 20 degrees. At the age of eight days
the angle increases to As degrees; at
the age Of two weeks to go degrees,
and ut the age of three weeks to about
rs degrees. When the egg Is more
than a month old 1t will float perpen-
dicularly on its small end.

%L last. iNo" u
til after 4, talking earnestly. When
they parted the attorney was grave
and troubled.
"All right, Captain Warren" he said;
"I'n do it. And you may be right. l
certainly hope you are. But l must
confess l don't look forward to my
task with pleasure. / think I've got
the toughest end.''
It'll be rough-theres no doubt about
that--rough for all hands, guess. And
1 hope you understand, Mr.. Sylvester,
that there amt many men I'd trust to
do what ask you to. I appreciate

as-as gentle as you can, won't you"
81 will You can depend upon that"
81 do. And 1 sha'n't forget it. Good
by till the next time"
They shook hands. Captain Elisha
returned to the boarding house, where
he found letter awaiting him. 1t was
from Caroline, telling him of her en-
gagement to Malcolm Dunn. She wrote
that, while not recognizing his right to
interfere in any way, she felt that per-
haps he should know of her action. He
did not go down to supper and when
Pearson came to inquire the reason ex-
cused himself, pleading late luncheon
and no appetite. He guessed he would
turn in early, so he said. 1t was poor
guess.
Next morning he went uptown. Ed
wards, opening the door of the War
rem apartment, was surprised to find
| who had rung the bell.
"Mornin', Commodore" hailed the
captain, as casually as if he were mere
ly returning from a stroll. "Is Miss
Caroline aboard ship?"
"Why-why, I don't know, sir. I'll
see"
That's all right. She's aboard or you
wouldn't have to see. You and me
sailed together quite spell, so know
your. little habits. I'll wait in the IL
brary, commodore. Tell her there's no
particular hurry"

Old warships Put to Good Use.

In the days before the war, one OF
the features Of Ryde, Isle Of Wight.
was the fleet of obsolete warships
which rode mournfully at anchor to
the west of the pier. There was a
curious air of desolation about them
with their gunboat gray showing rust
everywhere, their truncated masts.

AS the ferry steamed out Of Ports

the Solent, they had warlike appear
ance enough, but the nearer one came
to them the more one saw that their
fighting days were over.
But were they? May there not have
been amongst them some Of the old

which now lie gloriously at the bottom
of the sea, blocking the way to the

Deer Do Not Interfere With
Eradication of Cattle Tick

(By the United States Department of
Agriculture
In regions where campaigns to eradi-
cate the cattle fever tick are being car
ried on, the presence of deer does not
interfere IN the success of permanently
banishing the parasite. This has been
proved in California, where deer are
numerous in formerly tick-infested re-
gtons VIII Ich are now free from the
parasite.
Deer we're known to be plentiful on
many of the large California ranches
that werl tick-infeSted," said one of
the federal inspectors now working in
Southern states, "and deer killed on
these ranrhes were often found infeSt-
ed.
1T was our experience in California
that as soon as the cattle tick was
eradicated from cattle the deer in that
section were no longer found tick-in-
tested. This seems to Justify the the
DRY that. as the deer is not the natural
host of the fever tick, deer which do
become infested with cattle ticks are

Endeavoring to Increase
Cultivation of the Rose

Many suggestions for the practical
use of roses are given in the American
Rose Annual. One Of the desirable
ways to combine hedge, arches, and ap-
proXimate pillars con be worked with
climbing roses.
Make the pillars eight or nine feet
high, springing an arch across a walk
on form not over 1S inches or two
feet higher. Plan the hedge to be three
or three and one-half feet high to the
top or third wire (three is enough). D..
Then provide for a graceful festoon
from the top wire of the post to the
top wire, using either brass chain
if you can afford the war price of it
or a durable heavy twine, soaked in
oil, that will last about two years.
Study the curve with care, and secure
1t, If twine, with downward braces to
the top wire, drawn tight, in which case
it will be series Of tangents rather
than q curve.
The American Rose society, publish
ers of the Annual, is endeavoring to in
crease the general interest of Anferi-
cans in the cultivation of the rose.

The question was blurted out. The

upon the uppermost sheet. Tearing off

Important amounts of periShable
foods are made dangerous or inedible
in households because they are eX-
posed unnecessarily to heat moisture,
germs, dust, dirt, or to flies and other
insects.
Much milk spoils quickly because 1T
is kept uncovered in warm kitchens.
Close observance of the doctrine,
"Keep perishable " food, especially
milk. COOL clean and covered contin-
-uously," may make a striking differ
ence in the food bills of many fam
lilies. - .-. -.- ..-
Fresh vegetables not needed imme-
diately for other purposes should not
be thrown out or allowed to spoil, but
should be used in making soups, sal
ads, or combination dishes. Fruits are
sometimes allowed to go to waste
which might be stewed and kept day
or two until needed.
Vegetables and fruits should not be
stored in quantities in hot, damp, and
poorly ventilated bins. Such cOndi-
tions hasten whiting, fermentation and
decay.
Surplus fruits, beans, tomatoes and
other vegetables produced in home
gardens should not be allowed to spoil
on the vines or rot on the ground. A
mornings work would can and pre-
serve such surplusage for use when
fruits and vegetables are scarce and
high in price.
Much food, ruined by being stored
where flies or other insects, or rats
and mice can get at it, can be saved
if it is given proper care. Much ce-
real food is ruined because it is not
kept in cans or other suitable con-
tainers and protected against weevils
or other insects. Prevent such losses

The First Submarine.

The first submarine boat of which
history makes any record was built by
a Dutchman named Van Driebel, In
1910. The boat was built in England
with money said to have been adj
vanced by King James l. The vessel
had unique ballasting system. There
was a number of goatskin bags placed
under the deck between two large
planks. These bags, when filled with
water caused the vessel to sink. To
cause it to rise again the bags were
pressed together with windlass ar
rangement, forcing tha water out, and
thus giving the boat reserve buoyancy
