LYMAN ABBOTT.

Though he had lived far beyond the three score and ten, Rev. Lyman Abbott was by no means inactive. Only recent 1y and then not completely had be been incapacitated. The strength of his mental condition is disclosed in the fact that he was actively engaged in his editorial work up to a few days be- fore his death, thus virtually ending his days in the harness.
 Dr. Abbott, although a preacher long before that, came into his greatest prominence at the time when he was called to the Plymouth church in Brooklyn, N. Y, as the successor of Henry Ward Beecher. He was called upon to follow a great man and for a dozne years he responded to the situa- tion in most commenda,ble manner and became widely known as a preach CT with a message.
 Not only did he follow Beecher bui he worked with him. This was in con nection with his journalistic work. He was associated with him when Beechei was editor of The Christian Union, sue ceeded him as editor over 40 years age and when conditions changed convert
 
 look which has since been directed by him and through which he has demon strated his interest and force in pub lie affairs. He was an indefatiganl' worker in behalf of good causes. H. was a leader whose influence has beer broadly distributed and whose aid i was not difficult to enlist in hePfu public projects. Death ends his career but it cannot efface the record he ha! made as preacher author and editor.

HOW TO TURN WASTE
 FRUITS INTO PROFIT

Washington, Oct. f2s.-How to turn waste into profit, is the subject of a cir cular of the agricultural department prepared by the bureau of chemistry, to aid producers of oranges. grape fruit lines and lemons who yearly suffer great loss in bruised, undersized or oversized fruit.
 The circular gives directions for the commercial manufacture of grapefruit juice, orange vinegar, citrage of lime, canddied grape fruit and orange peel marmalades of various kinds, jellies and buffers, which can be obtained free from the department
 Since vinegar made from oranges is quite as satisfactory us that made of apples, orange vinegar might well be substituted, it is shown, especially in regions where many cull oranges would otherwise be wasted.
 Grapefruit juice is a favorite among the refreshing juices on the market. It is not so well sluited to home manufacture as other citrus fruit by-products be- cause of the necessary apparatus. How ever, it should be possible to prepare grapefruit juice on small scale in tht home if desired, by means of utensils usually available.
 Citrate of lime is an article of com mercial importance which can be mad, from cull lemons or times.
 Candied grapefruit and orange pee makes an excellent center for chocolatei and also serves as a substitute for citroT in baking. Candied orange peel may b. mixed with icings for cakes or with dough ] for cookies. It may also replace shredded cocoanut in home made candies, ana fresh orange peel in marmalade. Many

A WISE DECISION.

Regardless of the sympathy that was bound to be felt for the crew of the Henry Ford, who felt deeply the re- fusal of the judges to accept the race of Saturday, there was manifested the proper sporting spirit when they re- sponded to the order of Captain Nor rissey to bend the mainsail and went into the race with the determination to win again. Captain Morrissey and those who stuck by him were converted by well directed appeals. and they stand in a far better position than they would had they continued to refuse te race and thereby have disregarded on5 of the important requirements of good sportsmanship.
 The second race was different from that of Saturday in that it was closer and it was raced under different con ditions. Nevtreheless it showed the Henry Ford again the winner by a good margin. One race doesn't decide tht series and yet from the two tests whict have been made by the vessels repre- senting the fishermen fleets of the twc countries there is excellent ground fol confidence in the final success of tht challenger.
 The contest has experienced too many disappointments in the way of prepara tions to have permitted it to go by de fault. When it was decided that th' Mayflower could not be allowed to ente1 it was a decision that disappointed bu it was accepted in a sportsmanlike spir it.

sErzUnE or rHE EarERA1p.

As long as there seems to be need of clearing up the sftuation regarding rum ruuning vessels, which remain outside Vf our three-rrile limit but which are mquestiouaSIy there for the purpose of diposing of their liquor cargo to these from this country who are willing to buy and take H away, or possibly have it delivered. it is perhaps just as well that the British protest against the seizure of the Emerald should be made at this time. We have just found out that Great Britain is unwilling to ap- prove of any extension of the territor- izl limit, and if we have gone beyond our rights in connection with the seiz- ure ofvthe Emerald 1t is time to find it euts stop the practice and deal with the Situation in the proper manner.
 Thero seems to be no question over the fact that the Emerald was a rum runner. It had a right to have such a cargo on the high seas and it doesn't appear that it was doing business ir- side our tfree-ndle limit, although there Is some question whether it was by boats belonging to the Emerald, or those which had put out from shore that the nquor was being taken off the vessel. The seizure was apparently based upon the claim that it was com. nnunicstng with shore by means of its STn boats and that that furnished sui. AcAsut ground for taking the vessel.
 Whether this vessel was taken fo1 nne purpose of providing test case, i hs evident that it will serve as such The protest is the second step in tn, progress Of the case and it would natu rally be supposed that those who mad, the seizure would be prepared to de fend their action. whether that hap pens to be so or not it is well to hay, the matter up for decision. If we art right 1t is time to have that fact full, established; if we are wrong it is evi aent that we must repndiate the actior In seizing the vessels and make what ever amends are necessary. But be fore we proceed further in this direction there is wisdom in making sure Of wha Is right.

Then it was a dinner ring. I couldn't make out what was the matter with you when got home one night until you wept on my shoulder and accused he of not loving you as much as Mrs. Patterson's husband loved her, because he had brought a new dinner ring, which, Of course, she had to bring right over here to show you. You explained that it was no special day of import anee in the Patterson home, either, but that I always waited for a birthday or anniversary before presenting you with token of my love. Nothing would quiet you till I promised to buy you a ring with a larger diamond than hers Then they had their place redeco- rated in some new-fangled design, or period, or whatever it was, after which I was promptly carried off to consult
 decorators, paperhangers, painters and furniture men, and we lived in a cIut- tered-up state amid pails of paste, rolls of paper, ladders and sniled white over alls until an effect was achieved which
 I was told equaled if it did not sur pass that of the Patterson apartment 'sThe last straw was the summer fur. The fur convinced me that I was ] merely coug2etna wi.h Hss xaknowa Mir. Patterson, So decided to approach
 him with intent to establish an armis-
 tice and eventually a system of co-op- eration.''
 And what has your theory of coop
 eratien to do with my getting my sum
 ner fur?" sarcastically inquired the lady of the house.
 Why, it just ended the competition
 that's all, and has been saving botl
 Patterson and me quite a little money
 and worry. He was ticlz1ed pink with

 make up for the little nicer car I had | given you.'s
 l There goes Mrs. Patterson now with her guests, and she's wearing that de- testable fur,'' the lady of the house in-
 terrupted to remark as she again gazed 1 out the window
 You know" she added refecti7ely ''the only consolation I ever felt for the
 humiliating fact that her fur was iden- | tically like mine was the fact that at
 least I managed to wear mine first. ]

 Geography consDires with religion to make Hedjaz remote. Before the war no region< had been less accurately map ped and contained more untrayersed areas than Arabia.

There the mountain masses of broken granite, and lava surfaces which resem- ble a>newly plowed field of mahy rocks, forestan travel and often forbid habita- tion.
 Tn area and shape Hedjaz is compar- able to California. In one other respect it resembles our Fl Dorado State. Its mountain masses swirl into figure 8, effectuaLy cutting off northern Hediaz from the southern part There the like ness ceases. Instead of abundant fer tility in the loop of the 'S' the southern division of Hediaz is a lean land which even Bedouins scorn. There a few an- eient and dwindling tribes eke out an existence by cultivating the occasional arable patches and by levyine tribute upon the pilgrims. Mecca dominates this region; hence the Shereef of Mecca was strong figure under Turkish rule and now finds himself independent, largely owing to geography.
 'sThe barrier that cuts Hedjaz in two is a triangular plateau of lava with it's apex pointed to Rabigh. the seaport where the British landed supplies to aid the Arab uprising against the Turks. One route around this mass lies along the Sea by Rabigh, the other is far inland by way of Medina. Its rough surface makes this lava table impossible, lack of water makes it uniphabitable. English eeogra- phers have found no Arabs who had pen etrated the plateau; airplanes cut across parts of it only to find dismal, waterless. stony wastes.

STUDENTS PROVIDE FUEL.

Placing restrictions on the use of coal until the first of November will come harder on some than on others At Trinity college the students are not un- mindful of the importance of conserv- ing coal, but neither are they uncon- scious Of the cool October days. Thus when they decide to go out and get such wood as they can obtain for the pur- pose of providing a bit of heat it is set rRE an example which many others would do well to follow.
 Just what their foraging excursions nave produced has not been learned but there is no question but what they can obtain much that will meet the require Nnents and t is not improbable that much of 1t would otherwise have gone IS waste.

THE RIGHT nELAr1oNsnrr.

There are those countries which have the idea. that they cannot live in peace with. their neighbcrs without maintaining the strongest kind of a navy and an army that iss ready .o move at a moments notice. That is the result of past troubles and an unwill- ingness to live otherwise.
 There are many instances of nations which do not believe that force is nee essary to insure peace, but one of the most interesting examples is that of the United States and Canada which long ago decided that it was not necessary to maintain powerful navies on the Great Lakes, with the result that they have had more confidence in each other and are today in a position tc agree that there Is no necessity for keeping any warships on the lakes
 Think what might have been expend- ed by both countries for naval arrns ment on the Great Lakes had another course been followed. It would have meant a tremendous waste of money and the relationships would not have been what they are today. Both coun- tries have had far better use for such funds and they are going to continue to have in the future. For century and over these countries have agreed te limited navy on the lakes. Four yes sels apiece have been insignificant and yet they have been even more thar were needed. War vessels have not been required because of the right sori of understanding between nations and the ability to adjust matters without re sort to force. It is of course the ont sensible way, and the decision to d away with such warships as have beer maintained on the lakes indicates nof only ths excellence of the course in the past but gives assurance that having stood the test it is going to be ccntin- ued in the future. It is an interesting example for other countries to study.

AN END TO TIE STRAIN

Now if you women would only learn the value of cooperation as we men have" expostulated the man of the house, lighting a cigar.
 T wonder who that is coming to call on the Pattersons." interrupted the lady of the house, gazing out the window
 'Co-operatton, that's the thing,e went on the man of the house, blowing smoke rings into the air. 'gTake the matter of cooking. Why don't the women in this apartment building cooperate and employ only one cook, with perhaps an assistant, to prepare the meals for all the families in the building, instead of every family's fussing over it's individ-
 ual troubles? Think of it! Every wo- man in the building would be saved the
 worry of planning daily menus, order
 ing groceries and laDoring for hours over a hot stove.
 ~And, then, too,' continued the man
 of the house, why should every family in this building buy a vacuum cleaner when one bought on the cooperative plan would do for us. all? A vacuum cleansr is used at the most only about ten minutes day and is idle 4H the other wtenty three Hours and ffc. minutes, so, with little cooperation couldn't we make one machine do for us all by signing up for the hour of the day or the day of the week we wished to use it? And think of all the money we would save-especially if we did the same with electric irons, washing ma chimes and dozens of other things ev. cry family thinks it must haye.'
 iCo-operation may work out all right in business but yeus can't apply it te household affairs declared the lady oi the house. 'FYou men are always try. ing to apply your business methods te everything else under the heavens."N
 And that's just where you're wrong, insisted her husband, carelessly fiickins
 his cigar ashes on the best rug. "You see I know because I've proved it." |. You proved it!' gasped his wife, ir her astonishment forgetting the ashes. "Yes," he explained. hadn't in tended to tell you, but just to prove m, point I wiI,'' replied the man.
