SOME ECONOMY HINTS.

Now thatwoo is so expensive the follow
ing hint will be welcome TO many.
Wool that has been used can be made
almost new again by steaming. The
easiest and quickest way in which To steam
a quantity of wool is TO wind it round the
scrubbing board and place it over the
mouth of the boiler on washing day
Turn frequently, and when the washing
is done the wool should be well steamed
Allow it to remain on the board till
thoroughly dry, when the result will easily
compensate the labor expended.
OVEN TESTS.
Put piece of white paper IN the oven
for two or three minutes. II is turns black,
or dark brown, the oven is too hot; If 1t
turns golden brown the oven is right Tor
bread, small cakes. and pastry, If it turns
pale fawn color it is right for large cakes,
sponge cakes, or ginger bread; II it does
not change color the oven is too cool.
SCOTCH PTKELETs.
Mix together half pound of plain flour
one teaspoonful of cream Of tartar, one
teaspoonful of carbonate of soda, and one
and halfomces Of sugar, and a little salt.
Make q fairly thick batter with one egg

THE wArCH-FAIRY.

One night while Elsie was undressing
she saw shooting star. II wonder how
they get out Of the sky" thought Elsie,
and when she was in bed she looked through
the window and watched the twinkling &
little stars TO sec If another might not fall.
But instead Of falling star she saw
coming down moon beam little Golden
Fairy, and to Elsic's surprise the Fairy
stopped right on her window sill

asked the Golden Fairy. II have just
returned from trip 10 the sky to return
little star that fell out Of bed"
"Ohp' exclaimed Elsie. sitting up in

happen that stars fall out OF the sky?"
"Oh, yes, l can tell you all about that"

and thanked Elsie for letting her rest on
tho window sill, but though Elsie hes
often seen tho star children fall, sho has
never since that night seen the Watch-
Fairy.
OF course she II sure tho Watch-FaiYy
takes care Of the stars that tumble, for
there seem To be just ~ many every night
when Elsie looks up 1t them, and she feels
sure Of that, though She cannot count them.

ADMIRAL SIMS AND the NAVY.

We found It oosy to sympathze with Ad-
miral Sims stand ON tho war decoration busi-
ness. For tho reason that the rowarding of war
decoration by our own government has always
been rcpugnant 10 US, too much ia the nature
Of cmulatlng customs which our fathers fled
from, our own government being the product
Of straightor method OF thinking and acting
than was possible In the old world
But In his criticisms of tho navy DEPART
mont, ana In particularly his citing OF tho In
s'rucuons given him with respect to British
Influence. unable to follow the admiral
with approval The navy department may have
been guilty OF serious offrnscs It probably
was 1t may not have accorded the profes.
siona and highly technical men on duty that
lions share in the direction OF its affairs which
they desired ana which. 1t may loo conceded
they were entitled to. rho head OF the naval
department during the war was himself not
only civilian without technical knowledge or
the most pronounced type.
Concerning all these matters the admiral may
be right But In finding fault with the admonl-
tory orders given him before sailing. which to
quote his own words was this: Don't let the
British pull the wool over your eyes It is mono
OF our business pulling their chcstuuts out of
the fire. We would soon fight the British as
the Germans" Admiral Sims IL not on sound
national ground.
We confess that In our judgment the order
was sound. 1t Ia always necessary to watch the
British uon--in peace and war; in social dip
lomauc and financial relations The American
people should be the last on this earth to
question no accuracy of that
And neither before we went into tho war.
during the war or since. was 1t or * It any
part OF our business to pun the British chest
nuts out OF tho fire. There are always British
chcstnuts to be- pulled out too.
Tho United states went into the war in de-
fcnse OF it's own uatonalsinterosts to redress
national insults and injuries It had no stom-
aoh for the business until the controversy be-
came It's controversy. Every official record OF
the Washington government proves this, That
being so. It true at the time and it Is
true now. that we would as soon fight tho
British as the Germans. We didn't fight either
until national honor forced st. We would fight
one as quickly ns the other when national honor
demands It, or world in arms, for that mat
ter,
In making these observations we do not seek
to sound note Of j,ngoism or to pun the lions
tail Nor yet to arouse the slightest feeling
that It Is hearteniug to know there was the
splendid national conception at Washington In
dicated by the instructions to ADMIRAL Sims 10
indicates that al that time American traditions
were still recognized and valued.
