Many dangerous grade crossings exist in Monmouth county according to a cotnpiiation made by the state railroad commission. The comple tion reports received from most of the municipaitties in the county. Long Branoh is one of the cities for which noireport is given. The report shows that Asbury Park has Hgrade crossings, aii of the New York and Long Branoh ratiroad, some of which are protected by sign posts. It says that ft is stated in a re port from the city that "apart of said crossings are protected by gates or iiagmen. but we have an ordinance requiring that ait crossings be prop erty protected and have brought an action in the court of chancery to en force such protection of aii crossings." Continuing the report shows that no opinion was expressed in the Asbury Park report with respeot to the un usuai daager of any partiouiar oross Several other seashore towns are covered by thereports. Seven grade crossings are reported for Atlantic Highlands. The one on Centre ttreet is mentioned as dangerous. It is shown that Beimar has grade cross ings on the New York and Long Branoh railroad at Sevenths, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth and Sixteenth avenues. Those at Seventh, Ninth, and Sixteenth avenues are mentioned as dangerous. Three crossings are reported for Bradiey Beach without an opinion as to their specific danger. "Drummoud road crossing is one of unusuai danger," says the report, tak ing up Deai. Four grade crossings are reported for this piace. It says that owing to.box cars upon a siding at Drummond road it is impossible many times to have a oiear view up and down the tracks. In summer between 125 and 150trains daily pass over the crossing many of them being extras. The report says that two additionai protection shouid be pro vived for this crossing. The report continues: "A crossing at grade in Eatontown by the New Jersey Southern, andalsoaorosslng at Horse Neck road by the New York and Long Branch raiiroad are said to be unusuatiy dangerous, aocidents having occured at bothpiaoes." The opinion is expressed that two crossings at the borough of Highlands are daugerous. Reports for Farming dale and Freehold state that the grade crossings there are not usualiy dan gerous. According to the report the 12 crossings in Keyport are not par ticular^ dangerous if care is used, but that at some crossings there should be more protection on account of building? whioh ob 4*—+ the view. One dangerous grade crossing is re ported in the townshipof Manaiapan. Three of the seven crossings in Marl boro township are reported as dan gerous. Seven crossings in Mata wan are said to be dangerous, without spe cific mention. Two crossings in Nep tune City are not unusuatiy danger ous, according to the report.

The report says this is the main artery to the seashore for far mere and hucksters, more than 500 vehioies having been counted passing there in a single morning between 2 kn<l 5.30 a. m. It is stated that the orossing is hedged about by buildings which obscure the view. Five crossings in Raritian town ship are mentioned as dangerous without specidc detaiis. Seven cryss ings at Red Bank are fairly wetigak^ en. except Beech street, which is pro tected by belt only says the report. Ten grade crossings exist in Upper Freehold township and their only protection is sign posts. The opinion is expressed that one crossing is of unusual danger, but the name of this crossing is not given. Merchants' Association.

Every tax payer of the District should attend the meeting as it means an additionai burdensome tax on them. The prop osition should be oarefuiiy consider ed and it shonid be cieariy shown that the additionai room is necessary. There are now 19 teachers, not inciud ing the principal There is aiso a iarge assembiy room that takes up the whoie of the originai schooi building, when there was about an average at tendance of 500 pupiis. This assembiy room before its transformation was utiiized for both a ciass room and as sembiy room by a giass]partation which aiiowed both rooms to be thrown into one for assembiy pur poses. Then there is another pian to buitd an addition to the present buiiding to accommodate the pupiis in certain rooms which are now crowded, which would be the least expensive pian of buiiding, as no iand would have to be purchased. With the bonds for the payment ot the front of the present High Schooi buiiding ten years yet to run before being paid off, it seems inopportune to think of buying a site and buiiding a new buiiding as proposed, and we hope that the tax-payers wiii turn out and defeat the proposed appro priations.

Msssurs to Provide State For Fe rn*)* Empioyeee Meete With Favor abie Action For Propagation of Fith in Dataware River—Joint Sta tion Heid. 1 [Specie! Correspondence.] Trenton, March 18,-The feature of this week in the iegisiature was the defeat of the Crosby local option bill in the house Tuesday after a prolonged and exciting debate. Many other meas ures of importance were considered, and a number of public hearings were given, but the greatest interest cen tered around the Crosby bill. The local option biil was reported in the house yesterday, and the measure was taken for tlnal passage, it was defeated by a vote of 44 to 15. The principal amendment offered by the committee eliminated any objection to the use of a fermented wine at com munion services in churches. This amendment was adopted by 40 to 1? votes. An amendment was presented by Assemblyman Fake providing that the local option bili should take effect When approved by a majority of voters of the state at a general election and was lost after a spirited debate by a vote of 21 to 28. Assemblyman Hines submitted an amendment providing. that the vote for or against iocai option should not be taken within sixty days of any special, primary or genera! election. This amendment was also tost by a vote of 26 to 82. Another amendment by Assemblyman Hines eliminated the most objectionable fea tare of the bili to the opponents of lo ss! option—vis, that making the pro posed taw apply to the entire mu nicipality. This waa strongiy advo cated by Aaaembiyman Martin, house leader on the Repubiican aide, and was test by 14 to 45. The amendment pro sen ted by Assemblyman Suiiivan waa also ioat providing for country local option, and the amendment that the bill ahall not appiy to counties was de tested. The anti-local optioniats were jubl lant when the Mi! was declared defeat ed, and its supporters were correspond tngiy crestfaiien. The Anti-saioon league leaders declared that Mew Jen sey has not heard the last of local op tlon yet The Bnal vote upon the local option biil was as follows: ___Teas—Cattell, Crosby, Fake, Hen OLbHOnEJTEdb 4Tn!bbLETOWHV!LL4QE.

Bwtnk De Witt Ttlmne. D. D. Los Angeles. Cat.. March 15.—From an incident in the early htatory of the Chriatian church the preacher in thia aermon draws the iesson that an appeai to God in prayer should be made in every case of doubt and didicuity. The text !a Acts i, 24, "And they prayed. Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of aii men, show whether of these two men thou hast chosen." The crucidxion was over. The iittie scattered band of disciples had been brought together by the second and third appearances of Jesua. The ascen. sion aiso was over. Now the discipies were abiding at Jerusalem awaiting the day of Pentecost. The time seemed to the discipies appropriate for com pieting the organization of the infant church The defection of Judas had left only eieven aposties. Shouid not the mystical number corresponding to the tweive tribes of Israel be made up! The disciples appear to have thought so. One reason was that the number of authorized witnesses to the life, work and resurrection of Jesus should not be diminished. They would choose from among them one who, having been with them from the beginning, was competent to give such testimony. There were two such men, Joseph and Matthias. Either of these was eligible, and a choice must be made. What did the discipies do? Did they turn th^ir meeting into a political cau cus; ga so many of our religious meet ings become when a new eider or a new pastor or a new bishop is to be chosen? Did one of the discipies say. "Select Barnabas because he is my sis tar's husband?" Did another disciple say, "Oh, elect Matthias because he has lent me money, and as he has help ed me i want to do him a favor?" Do you suppose another said, "We will elect Luke or Mark because we want to have our friends on the apoatolate?" Do you suppose God wouid have sent a day of Pentecost if such a seldsh spirit had moved those disciples? No. noi That was not the way the place of Judas was dlled. These disciples said: "We will make no mistake. We will throw the whole responsibility upon Qod." Thus they went to their knees. "O Lord," they cried, "make this seieetion for thy honor and glory. Were they right? Ought not we to make every important move of our life a matter of earnest, intense prayer? Shouid we not learn to trust God and follow his leadings "And they pray ed, Thou, Lord, which hnowest the hearts of ail men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen." They were wise and pious men. I commend their example to every one of you. There come times when you must stand at the parting of life's ways. You hesitate which way you will take be cause your whole future seems to hang on your decision. Then do as the dts ciplea did—turn to God, who knows all things, and ask him to direct you. Ask him which of the two ways he chooses An Important Decision. In the drst place, I would tum the attention of young people to the mes sage of my text I would drat apeak to those who have not yet decided what la to be their occupation in life. I am not now addressing those who are coming to the close of their studies In medicine or the law or theology They are like the sea captain who has already set his compass and has left harbor and Is sailing for a chosen port I talk to the young people who do not know what they ought to be In life or what vocation they should follow. I am speaking to those just about to graduate from our grammar schools who have not yet decided what line of work or of studies they will follow. That time of life Is the most critical of all, because a mistake now In all prob ability will mean a mistake lrrepara Me. Some of you have no doubt what you are to do. Some time ago I addressed the graduating class of one of our grammar schools. The chief attrac tion of the ererelsea was the wonder ful playing of a famous musician of oar city. When he ran hla Ungers over the keys he could make that piano talk or weep or laugh or dance or march or thunder or sigh. We encored him sgaln and agsln. After the meet lng was over his daughter told a mem her of my family that her father was hum-Blth mch.t gseiui-iw.-ana!c tEat'He^counF*T)Tay OPBB anymuslcal Instrument. It was just as natural for him to play as It Is for a bird to sing or for a 8sh to swim or for a rabbit to barrow. Thus some men are bom art ists or born lhventors or born finan ciers or born orators, and this genius of their minds Is manifested .when they are very young. But most of us were not developed that way. When we were In our teens we were entire ly In the dark about what God wanted ns to do. ."What would you do with your son If he came to fifteen years of age and did not know what he wanted to be?" a lady of my church said to me some time ago. "My son Is a bright boy, but he has no overpowering desire for any one line of work." There Is a fine, good boy who Is just as much In the dark about the future as you and 1 were when we were In our teens. And yet a mistake now might ruin his whole future life. If you get wrong upon the first part of your journey of life, you are apt to follow the wrong path clear to the end. What had that young boy better do? What had that j father and mother better do? They t had all better get down on their knees and pray. They had better lift up an earnest petition to God that he will direct that young boy to choose the vo cation which he should follow, for God had a purpose for him when he was bom. And the whole happiness of t that boy, as well as his usefulness, de pends upon his making no mistake In following the line of work God In (tended him to do. The Right Line of Work. But, fathers and mothers, before you start in this prayerful selection of the line of work your boy or girl will fol low through life 1 want you to thor oughly consecrate yourselves to the Master, for If you do not you may receive a jolt that you will never get over. What God wants that boy to do and what you want him to do may be as far apart as the North star Is dls tant from the equator. God may want that bey to enter the ministry. God may want that girl to go to foreign lands as a missionary. God may want your son to be a reformer with his pen. What God wants and you. the parent, wants may bitterly clash unless you are ready to surrender your will to his will. The story Is told that when James Russell Lowell was class poet a friend sent his father, Dr. Lowell, an ac count of the commencement at Har vard at which the son had achieved such a brilliant success. The old gen tleman at the time was staying In Rome. When he received the account. Instead of being pleased, he was verv angry and said: "Well, well! Look at this. I am very sorry and disappoint ed. James promised me when I left home that he would give up poetry and stick to his books. I hoped he had become less eighty." Yet It was as a poet that Lowell was destined to achieve fame. Thus what God wants Tr&ur boy to do and what you would like to have him do may be entirely different. And yet, my brother, all the happiness and the usefulness of your son are to be decided within the nett few months. Better pray, and pray earnestly, that God will heip him to choose aright In the selection of his life vocation. Better not let your will run counter to God's will. But after we have asked God to se lect our children's work In life we must not stop here In our divine plead lngs. The school or the college In which our children prepare for their life's work Is Important. Now you had better make a prayerful selection of the Institutions to which you send your children during the critical formative periods of their lives. You need God's help here as you need him In other vita! matters. You ueed to plead to him for guidance just as much as the disciples needed to pray for wisdom to make a right selection for the vacancy In the apostolate. liotng to Cionege. The older I grow the more I am amazed to aee how bitndiy and tn what a don't care spirit most parents aiiow their chiidren to select the school or coiiega at which they are to be edu cated. Very slight and trivia! reasons weigh with the boy. Do you want to know how I went to a certain miiitary achooi? There was a boy who iived on our bioeit who went there. He came home for his vacations dressed in a beautifu! uniform. That uniform, with its stiver buttons and shining chevrons, was the envy of ail the neighborhood. Like most of the boys on our street, I wanted to go to a school which wouid iet boys dress up in a uniform like that. And, though that schooi at the time was not what it ought to be in many respects, yet the indnitesimai thing of a iittie stiver button took me to that schooi, where i passed four long years of the most important part of my edu cations! iife. Hundreds and thousands of young foiks go to a schooi because a friend goes there or because that coi iege has a 8ne footbaii team or because that institution is the largest university In the state or because that college is situated in the east. And the great es sentiais of the moral and spiritual characteristics of that educational in stitution are passed over as though they did not amount to anything. Did you ever reaiize that a univer stty or a coiiege has an atmosphere or a sou!? Are you not aware that just as you have certain speciat character istics that in your iife stand for some thing so an educational institution has its distinct personality and stands for something and that something is for the benefit or injury of the students who live within its waits? i received some time ago a letter from an oid and very dear classmate. He was writing abont some of the weaknesses of the college we both iove. Then he wrote this sentence, which 1 have often pon dered over, because it presented a troth in a way that I had never had caCbnaT fMntutBmrAre 'lihneoneT "By Individuals who are mere!y hnman, and human actions are vita) there, aB elsewhere." Do you grasp that tre mendous fact? Who are the men at the head of those institutions to which you intend to send your boys? What [s the morai and spiritnai status of the members of those faculties? Are they noted for their Christian principles? Are they professors who will instiii reverent ideas of God and of the high er iife? These are questions which you shouid ponder weii before you iet that boy leave your Qreside for scbo tastic halls. Better pray over that fact earnestly and long. God alone can di rect you so that you will make no mistake. May Make or Break. But we cannot always remain at school. We cannot always be prepar ing for the battle of life After awhile we must do something besides talking about what we intend to do. So from scholastic walls we step forth into the struggle of life. Then we must enter into certain business partnerships and professional aSUa&ms. Whom shall w# trust? With whom shall we go? Who shall we allow to enter the holy of holies of our hearts? These are weighty questions which I am putting to you today, for a ma^'y .access is not more due to what^ himself does than to what his business associates do. To a great eatent they make him or break him. What a lot of trouble you would have saved if you had. only known what a rascal your partner was before you hitched up with him in business! Do you suppose your mother and fathet would have let you enter into that business partnership if they had known wbat kind of a man he was? "Oh, no," you reply. "My parents love me too much to let me get into such quick sands of trouble as that." Yes, you are right! But tell me. friend, does not God love you as much as your fa ther or your mother? Would he not have guarded you from that trouble if you had only asked him? Did you ask* God's advice when you entered into that business arrangement? Am I making too literal Interpretation of the gospel? What do you mean by that sign which is tacked over your of dce door, "Business During Business Hours?" Dqps that mean that God has no part In your business? No! Then, if that is not so, why do you not ask God to help you select your partners and guide you In your great financial deals? Is that sentence of the Lord's prayer a mockery, "Give us this day our dally bread?" Ah, my brother, as a business man you had better get down on your knees and pray for wis dom. God wiii guide you. Yes, he wiii. He wiii answer your prayers in the store just the same as he helped the disciples to choose Matthias for the vacancy In the apostoiate. God hears his children pray by the store counter on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday just as much as he hears htH ministers pray on Sunday in tbr church puipit. But, though our partnership papers at the store are important, there are closer and more important human re lationships than even this. And this other partnership has as much to do with what we financially make as It has to do with the home and with the happiness of domestic life. I am al luding to the partnership of the mar riage altar. Some people look upon marriage as a joke, but it is far from being a joke. The marriage altar shouid be the most soiemn piace this side of heaven, for if it is not the joy ful enslavement of !ove it is the most awful tragedy of iife, and it is in too many cases the merciless rock upon which the craft ef earthiy happiness is shipwrecked. The Marrtage Contract. But, though marriage is one of the vital pivots upon which usefuiness as weii as happiness turns, yet how bitnd iy and ignorantiy most peopie enter sacred wediock! Too often it seems to be the biind ieading the biind. And i am not aiiudtng simpiy to the young when they get married, but to the mid die aged and to the oid who get mar ried as weii. Indeed, I sometimes think it is far easier for ft young man to pick out a good wife than it is for a middie aged man to make a happy se lection. The oider peopie grow the more expert they become in the abil ity to deceive if they are naturaiiy mean and contemptibie in disposition. And some of the meanest peopie on earth can make the most pieasant, fascinat ing impressions if you do not see them too often. And surety n woman has to be a very repeiient specimen of sioven if she cannot dress up and tn.iko herself attractive for a coupit- of itours a week during the time her iover t with her. And yet it is upon this siight and meager acquaintance that some of the momentous partnerships of marriage are entered into for better or for worse. Do you wonder that so many of the marriages are failures and are trniy made for the worse? Do you wonder that so many peopie look upon marrtage as a iottery where a man does not know whether he wiit draw as a prize a bee that wiii gather honey or a wasp that iinds her chief deiight in thrusting a merctiess sting? And. if it is diHicuit for a man to se iect the right kind of a wife, how much more ditHcuit for a woman to make the right choice of a husband! A woman seems to be entirety beipiess. Her danger is greater, and the resuits to her at ieast may be even mote tragic. A man may make a success in spite of an unhappy marrtage, bnt when a wo man marries a man beneath her she inevitabiy drops to her husband's ievei, and there is hardiy an exception to the ruie. Now, when men and women go courting what shouid they do? VFhe most important act is to go to Go& in prayer. God wouid seiect for Isa met a Rebecca and for Jacob a Raehei. Sure-, iy he wiii select for you a marital com tmniim nut. i!fnry hse<f**Co saf* fo'hts chiHAn, "Piease God and yon wiii piease me." Then at the wedding be wouid say: "Others wish yon a)) happiness. 1 wish you aii hoiiness; then there is no doubt that yon wiii have aii happi ness." Was it a fooiisb caution? If we piease God. are we not sure to make the right move when we piight i our troth under the orange biossoms? i We have often heard ministers piead with wives to pray for their erring hus bands. If some ministers woutd teach their peopie to pray before they en tered the martta! yoke, there wouid not be so many erring husbands to pray for nor so many broken hearted wives But where shouid we make pray erful seiections more earnest and in tense than in our chnrch work? If there is any one piace aet apart for the purpose of prayer and for the demon atrations of the power of prayer, that: piace shouid be the church of God, and yet I am amazed to find how often a church in the crisia of its htstory neg iects prayer, and this fact is never more demonstrated than in the way the av

crape church goes about to seiect a pastor. Selecting s Paetor. New, how does the average church seiect a new pastor? First the cougre gatioD cheoses a committee to iook out, for a suitabie candidate. This commit tee aends its invitations to different ministers to ask them to suppiy the i putpit. The candidates come before j the congregation and preach their triai j sermons. The congregation is divided I into factions or ciiques. One faction iikes one candidate because he has curiy hair and creases in his trousers and has a winning smite and is good looking. Another faction favors an other man because he is endowed with a Bne voice and has perfect elocution. Another candidate is rejected because he is past afty and the church wants a young man. And so the seesawing goes on untii at iast a man comes aiong who sweeps everything by storm. He das a genius for getting caiis. He has four or 8ve good sermons. He hus spent weeks and months upon them. Like the mosaics of the Aihamhra. j those sermons are a patchwork of many different sermons, it wouid not I be so bad if that minister had made i them a mosaic of his own discourses, j but sometimes they are taken from the sermons of Beecher, Brooks or Parker, j "We must have this minister and have him right away!" cries the congrega tion. "Wait," says some oid conserve i tive eider. "You do not know yet who this man is. Let us investigate a iittie further, it is not the Brst sermon or I the tenth, but what kind of a sermon a man can preach after he has been in the putpit for five years, that decides whether he is a good preacher or not Then iet us Bud out what kind of a Christian ieader this man is. Wiii he be a true guide? Is he right upon the doctrine of the atonement? Does he gamble at progressive euchre parties? Ddes he drink and dance and go to the ^iheatefr? If he does we do not want him even though he has the goiden lips of a Chrysostom. Let us pray over this matter a iittie whtie. If we ask i God to iead us he wiii not iet us make a mistake." Is the oid eider right? Shaii we not ask God to iead us wheu we are about to choose a new pastor? Ask God's Aid. But if we are to iead the right Chris-' tian life we must ask God what we I shait do for others as weii as what others Bhali do for us. "Oh, I eaunot do anything to heip a person or to iead a troubied sou! to him! is that so, my brother? Are you not doing your seif an injustice? The reason most of ns have never done anything for Christ is because most of have never tried. We have not the desire; therefore we have done nothing for him. We do not strive; therefore we do not achieve. What have you ever tried to do for God? Whom have you ever tried to iead to the Master? What aching heart have you tried to heai? Have you ever gone to God in prayer and asked him to guide you on a gospei mission and show you where you ought to work in his name? It was very important for the discipies to ask whom they shouid seiect for the vacant position in the apostbiate, but it was just as important for each one of those discipies to make the prayer iike that Paui offered on the Damascus road. "Lord, what wiit thou have me to do?" If you get down on your knees and eamestiy pray to God for a position in his army on the battie line, there is no duubt he wiii detait you for active work. Pray eamestiy that God wiii open to you unitmited Beids of gospei usefuiness. "And they prayed and said. Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of ait men. show whether of these two thou hast cho sen." We are gospei soidiers, and we must go to our Divine Commander for marching orders. When you once swear your aiiegiance to him you are never to make a move in iife, no mat ter what it may be, uniess you Brst kneei down and impiore the Messing and guidance of God. In your daiiy communication with God are you wiii ing to do as did Matthew Henry's fa ther? The boy was very sick. The father said, "If the Lord wiii bepieased to grant me this request I wiii not say, as do the beggars at my door, T wiii never ask anything of God again,' but. on the contrary, he sbaii hear me often er than ever, and I wilt iove God bet ter as long as I live." Are you wip ing from now on to waik in such ciosu communion with God that you wii! never cease to ask him wbat he wants you to do and that your chief pieasure in iife wiii be to Bud out his wiii and to accept and obey it cheerfully?

In 1063 there died tn Toulouse a French lawyer, Pierre de Fermat, who made a hobby of mathematics and en riched the treasures of that science by several most interesting formulas. Un fortunately he had the habit of an nouncing his discoveries without any mention of the means by which he ar rived thereat or affording any special proof or method of proof. He simpiy inscribed them in the margin of his fa vorite copy of the "Arithmetics" of Diaphantos of Alexandria. When in 1670 his son issued a new edition of Diaphantos he printed his father's mar ginal notes along therewith. As al most every one of these notes was new and had for pure mathematics some meaning and value, they have af forded for many years materia) for much study, discussion and proof, it was a iong white before their demon stration was in any way complete, and there remains to this day one which is known to mathematicians simpiy as the Fermat formuia or ruie and which has not yet been proved mathemat ically. This formuia or rule is to the effect that, while the sum of two squares of whole numbers may (not must) amount to the square of another whole number—as, for instance, 6'+8"= 36+64=100=:10'—the sum of two cubes can never be the cube of a whoie num ber, the sum of the fourth powers of two numbers can never be the fourth power of a whoie number, etc. To prove a negative is, as a ruie, more difHcuit than to demonstrate a positive. In fact, in law the burden of proof rests aiways on the one assert ing the positive side of the question. Here the fact remains: Fermat's asser tion that the Bums of higher powers than squares can never amount to a corresponding higher power of a whole number appears to be invariable, but no mathematical demonstration there of has as yet been offered. In order to stimulate mathematical discussion and demonstration Dr. Paul Woifskehi, who died recently in Darm stadt, ieft in his will a provision for the payment of 100,000 marks ($25,000) to the first person who would afford the mathematical proof of the Fermat formula for ali quantities. The Got tinger Geseilschaft der Wissenschnf ten has the consideration of solutions offered and the awarding of the prize to the successful applicant Such ceie brated mathematicians as Euler, Di richiet and Rummer have given proofs which cover a number of special cases, but no one has as yet shown that the rule is absolute for aii whole numbers. —Scientific American. "Son of the Cur, Fear tho Rod!" The czar has issued an order that severs! state buildings in St. Peters burg which had been painted red since the time of Nicholas 1. must be re painted some other color. The fact is he dislikes the color red. Neither his wife, his daughters, the little grand duchesses nor the ladies of the court ever wear red in the czar's presence. His abhorrence of the color is not due aitogther to its associations with an archy and rebellion. When he was quite a boy he was with his parents at Livadla. While walking with some companions one afternoon Nicholas came upon an old gypsy woman ^rho was telling fortunes. There has al ways been a strain of the mystic in Czar Nicholas. He insisted that the woman should "read" his hand. Long she gazed at his palm and studied its lines; then, supposedly ignorant of his Identity, she said, "Son of the czar, fear the red!" The incident deeply im pressed him. He described it to his father and mother, who only laughed at him. But the impression remained in his mind and gradually has grown stronger. The czar's fear of ted has been increased by the events of recent years and by the knowledge that it is the color of the revolutionists.—Lon don P. T. O.

A MODERN SOUP STONE. And Word About the Treatment of the tUs of Oid Age. The Medicai Times of New York h.f.Jsouttomankindnnewbeaconof hope in the form of an articie by Dr Samuei G. Tracy promising a cure through electricity for the ilis of oid age it is the arteries. Dr. Tracy points out. that 8rst show the symp toms of seniiity. When their waits iose elasticity a n an is growing oid. The cause of the hardening of the arteries is an impure condition of the biood. and it is here that Dr. Tracy suggests that the eiectric tottery shai) get in its beneficent work. A treatment which Dr. Tracy proposes through use of a hyfrex coil—whatever that may be— "bombards the patient with miliions of osetiintions per second." There* is an eiaborate statement of how the thing is to be done, winding up with this significant remark: "This treat ment must be seconded by strict atten tion to diet and hygiene." This iast suggestion throws a worid of tight upon the whoie matter and at the same time reminds us of a story which was ettrrent in weii ordered nurseries about forty-five years ago. It was a story of a vagabond who beg ged the priviiege of making soup over the kitchen fire of a cottage from a smooth stone which he carried in his pocket. First he begged of the kind cottage wife the use of her fire; then he borrowed a kettie; then he asked for some water, for any oid bone that hap pened to be tying about, for some vege tabies, for a pinch of sait and for what not essentia) to the making of a rich soup. When the decoction was done nnd eaten the soup stone was carefuiiy dried and returned to the pocket of this artist in beggary to serve some future occasions. Dr. Tracy's eiectric scheme is, we suspect, much iike this soup stone, since, given "strict attention to diet and hygiene." the rest is aiways easy. In truth, if there be anything the matter with a man which "strict attention to diet and hygiene" wiii not cure his fatniiy may just as weii brush up their biack ciothes.—Argonaut.

King Snob. Richard Nordhsnsen in "Kunstwurt" eniarges on the power of a new mon arch whom he caiia "King Snob." "Snob," he says, using the English word despite the German emperor's re quest to omit the use of foreign words, "makes our fashions not oniy in our theaters and our bookstores, but even decrees at the art exhibitions which pictures sbaii be a ia vogue, for, un seen. he occupies a piace on the jury.

There's the appie and tire nuts, and things besides quite as tndigestibie as brass naiis and with no more food vai ue than so many marbies. And yet we wonder that the stomach "gives out." When the stomach breaks down under the strain of oareiess eating and irregular meats it oan be perfectly and permanentiy restored to heaith and strength by the use of Doctor Fierce's Golden Medicai Discovery. The ac tion of this medicine on the stomach acd other organs of digestion and nutrition is so marked, that reiief from disease is at once experienced, and the headaches, iiver' troubies,"kidney disorders, skin eruptions and other symptoms of a diseased stomach are quickiy cured.

TROUBLE OVER HNTt Foreign Nations Greatty inter ested in Repubiic's Affairs. ACT WiTHOUT COWSULTiNG US Despite Precedent of Santo Domingo's Case, European Powers Send War ships to Port-au-Prince—Witi Per mit No More Executions. Washington, March 1!).—With the or dering of the cruiser Des Moines to Haiti the intemationa) situation over the affairs of Haiti becomes one that in reaiity may at any moment cause a strain of rotations between the United States, France, Germany and Great Britain. The Haitian government has executed poitticai refugees who sought sheiter in the foreign consuiates. The phase of the matter which has escaped general observation is that the three European countries most concern ed have determined this time to act independently of the United States. 9Hhie presents a condition at variance With the custom of these nations and [g alive with possibiiities and proba bilities of friction. !t wiii be recaiied that in the case of WaEto Domingo the foreign powers re garded the United States as the prop PRESIDENT NORD ALEXIS. at power to bring order out of chaos and gave the state department and the navy a free hand. Powers Acting in Aceord. France, Engiand and Germany are now acting independently or, as they call it, in accord. The United States is determined for the present to be weii represented na yaiiy untii peace is restored to Haiti. The cruiser Des Moines was ordered from Guantanamo to Port-au Prince to assist the gunboat Bagie, which was sent to Haiti to protect American iives and property during the poiiticai ex citement. Advices from Port au-Prince state that the representatives of the foreign powers there have decided that uniess there is a rapid settiement of the pres ent crisis they wiii formuiate a de mand for the resignation of President Nord Ataxia and the formation of a provisionai government, to be fotiowed immediately by the elections. Wiii Permit No More Exeoutiena. In the meantime, the diapateh fur ther states, no further executions wiii permitted. Arrangements have m made, continues the dispatch, prith the commanders of the German Cruiser Bremen and the British cruis es Indefatigable to iand marines at a gignai from the tegationa. The minis ter of war, General Ceieotta, has brought re-enforcements from Gonaives by order of the president, and he is banning the town defense#. The pres ence of the warehips appears to have A saiutory effect. Positive denial is made by the Hai tian otHciais of the reports that other executions have taken place than those on Sunday morning, when ten or twelve conspirators found, according to the government's statement, with arms and munitions for rCvoiutionary purposes in their possession were shot to death. Under a decision taken by the coun cii of ministers the government au thorized the sending on hoard the war ships and out of the country the au thors of the iast insurrection who have taken refuge at the French. German and Spanish consutates at Gonaives. The government reserves for ttseif, however, the right to prosecute before property nppotnted courts any persons who hereafter are tmpttcated in upris ings. this action on the government's part being eonditionni on the repre sentatives of the foreign nations agree Ing not to gt)ie asytum in their respee tive consuiat^Sn case of further rev olutionary movements being attempt ed. y Port-au-Prinee is Quiet. The Haitian government's activity)* summarily deaitng wfth a number of aiieged conspirators in a threatened uprising has had the effect of causing anxiety in the heart? of many, for it is not known where the next biow may faii or how far reaching the revolu tionary troubie may be. Outwardly Port-au-Prince is calm, and foiiowing the execution on Sunday of ten or eleven men, aiieged to have been im plicated in the plot, President Word !A,lexia Issued a proclamation to the people, in which he felicitates them on thdr calm attitude under the present trying conditions and gives reassur nces to the community, promising tt order and the security of the gov lent will be maintained.

To Wed Mi** Eikins, Abrussi Mux! Renounce Right of 8uooeseion. Washington, March 19.—The Luke oi the Abruzzi arrived herefrom Fiortda on the same train with As Katherine Eikins and her mother, who have been entertaining him in the south. At the Itaiian embassy a dinner was given in his honor, and the wife and daughter of West Virginia's senatot were guests. The simuitaneous arrivai and the presence of the Elkinses at the exciu sive embassy affair are taken as an ai most positive confirmation of the story that an engagement exists between the dashing young first cousin of the king of Itaiy and the beautifui heiress to the Eikins mtiiions. An announcement is iooked for very soon. And another announcement—that of the duke's renunciation of his right to succeed to the Itaiian throng so that his marriage wiii not be morganatic— tikewise is expected. It ta reported here that he has aiready made the format renunciation and is no ionget an heir to a kingship, preferring to be an ordinary citizen and have his mar riage to the giri he ioves ciear and honest. Severai circumstances tending to con arm this report are pointed out in Washington. One is that no state func tions are being given in his honor, as is the invariabie case with a prince of roya! famity. Besides being a prince— his titie is Prince Luigi Amedeo of Savoy-Aosta—he is an admirai of the Itaiian navy. He is on ieave of ab sence from his ship, the Regina Eiena. An inquiry made at the embassy brought from Miss Eikins the repiy, "There is nothing to say tonight," which is different fro ns her former de niais that she was engaged to the duke. Washington is intenseiy pieased with this prospective match. Besides her beauty and weaith Miss Eikins is pos sessed of a charming personaiity and is an athietic, outdoor type of giri. The young duke did not need his roya! biood to win for himseif a piace in the worid. He is famous as an arctic ex piorer, a serious scientist, a mountain ciimber and a daring, adventurous young man who is ready to tackie any feat. HOBSON A)DS ULLEY. Hero of Santiago Wat Approached by Submarine Beat Men. Washington, March IS.—The Utley submarine boat inquiry was begun in earnest by a special house committee. Representative Lilley was heard at iength. He began his testimony by reading a iong typewritten statement, a part of which was in the nature ot an a ft! da vit, in which he outlined his charges in detail. When he had com pieted this formal presentation he was questioned at iength by Representative Oimsted of the committee, who was designated by Chairman Boutell to per form the service. Representative Richmond Pearson Hobson testified that he had been ap proached by a man representing the Eiectric Boat company, who told him that if he would support the ciaims ot that company before congress the com pany couid bring intiuence to bear on Speaker Cannon to have him (Hobson) appointed on the committee on nava) affairs. Mr. Lilley repeated his reoent state ment that he has been shadowed by a large number of men since he intro duced his resoiutlon. Concerning Mr. Ltiiey's assertion in his prepared statement that no report had been made to the house of the in vestigation of the Lessier charges by the naval committee, Mr. Olmsted call ed his attention to the fact that suob a report had been made and that it had been shown that representatives of the Holland company had made improper overtures to a member of congress. Mr. Liiley gave the names of the Connecticut members and the attorney who had asked him, according to his statement, to vete for an appropriation for submarine boat iegisiation. The manufacturers, he said, were Franklin H. Tayior of Waterbury and Chartee Ferry of the Bridgeport Brass con) pany. Ths attorney was John T. Kei iogg of Waterbury. Work of Miners' Convention.

"A Little Money Now and Then v v OW many home-keeping women wish they could r—1 earn a little money now and then! Their sisters and cousins and friends rank among the self-supporting, wage-earning women, who, having paid their board, bought their clothes and settled with laundress, doctor and dentist, may without question count the "leavings' and decide be tween the savings bank, a new book, matinee or concert tickets and a—yes, a bunch of violets! They may patronize a soda fountain without wondering whether the nickel or dime ought not to be laid away toward a new pair of shoes for little Jimmy. The housewife and mother, however systematically and thoroughly she performs her duties, always has a curious sense that it is her husband's money and not her very own that she is spending. She has an ever-present longing for some money of her really truly own. And for such women this series of ar ticles has been written. First, there is the woman who is merely handy with her needle. She has a little spare time every day, and on some days quite a good deal of time. She does not want to do dressmaking, because she knows she would have to place a slipshod servant in the kitchen and thereby lose more than she would earn. But she would like to find just a little money every week at the point of that needle! Suppose she lives in quite a big city, a city of not less than 20,000 inhabitants. She should first make the rounds of the better class of dressmakers and see whether they have any Work that she could do at home. The making of Hne buttonholes is almost a lost art among youthful sewers, and the painstak ing. old-fashioned needlewoman can often secure work of this sort from dressmakers. Another work of the moment is h&nd braiding, sewing the fashionable soutache braid on a stamped pattern. Fine faggotting, hand-running of tucks, and embroi dery if you can do it beautifully, kre all given out by some dressmakers. Of course, many dressmakers have all this done in their shops by girls on weekly salaries, but often it is impossible to get reliable hand sewers in a shop, and then the home-worker has her chance. Certainly it pays to make the rounds of the shop. Work taken home must be de livered on time, at the moment agreed upon, or a dressmaker will give the worker no more oppor tunities. If your town boaata a woman's exchange, by all means visit this work-center and try to think up something worth making, that no one has thought to make. If you find the counters laden with lace collars, embroidered turnovers and doylies, say promptly, "I will not make collars, turnovers and doylies, but some simple, well-made clothes for babies or very small children." Talk your plan over with the superintendent of the exchange, and if she sees you have ideas above the conventional embroi dered articles which Hood the exchange, she will be glad to pian with you. Perhaps you are rapid on a machine. Then try to earn a little money making aprons. Make the rounds of the grocery stores, butcher shops, etc., wherever you see men wearing aprons, and offer to make them by the dozen. You cannot compete with stores unless you do make them by the dozen, buy ing your fabrics by the bolt. And when the local tradespeople And that you turn out a better wear ing apron than the factory-made article, they will patronize you. Perhaps you mend deftly and rapidly. Then start a mending bureau. Have some cards neatly printed, and visit the local laundries, asking that your cards be sent home with all parcels of laundry. Place this request on a business basis. Promise, and keep your promise, to pay the laundry a small percentage on all orders received, just as you would pay for advertisements in the local papers. And lastly, have you. thought of starting a class in sewing for young girls? Many busy mothers would like their daughters to learn the dainty art of One mending, or hand-embroidery, or even plain sewing. Many young girls complain that they are not taught this at home. Organize a class for two afternoons in the week at 25 cents a lesson, and remember that in the modern class there are no samplers, but something useful to wear from the very start. M you teach embroidery, buy stamped turnovers, collars, cuffs, tuckers and corset covers. These and the dosses, ail supplies, for that matter, you buy at wholesale and sell to your pupils at retail prices. You will Hnd your pupils much more interested in pretty things to wear than in table or bureau scarfs. And as they show the product of their handwork (and your help) they will advertise your class and attract new pupils. The average girl of to-day is not interested in a atrip of linen covered with pretty but useless stitches' but she will bow before a pretty necktie with embroidered ends, a turnover that will set off an otherwise plain waist, or a corset cover through whose handwrought eyelets she can run dainty wash ribbons. A class of this sort with Hve pupils will pay you $5.00 per week—and surely that is a little mon&y now and then for the little things you hate to buy with "John's money." I wish women who are making a little money now and then to help their particular "Johns" would write to this department and tell us how they do it 6737 IX of the newest designs for spring blouses are shown on this page. 6733.

Subscription Dance Etiquette rxrviLf. you piease settle a question of etiquette for me? There ie a very nice dancing; teacher in our neighborhood, and onee a week he ;ivea a public dance, where any one may go for ifty cents. I love to dance, but I cannot afford to oin his reguiar class. I can pay Rfty cents once a veek/ or there are plenty of boys who wili pay fifty :ents for me. but my mother is so opposed to my going. I think she is oid-fashtoned and fussy, and <he thinks I am boid and forward. Please decide !or me." This is not a question of etiquette, but of morals, [t is so common a problem with girls who write tr ue that it is worth a whoie articie to itself. Both the mother and the giri are in the wrong. tVhat they need is a compromise. I do not believe n the promiscuous pubiic dance for any girt unat ended by her mother, and this means both the giri vho works for her living and the girl who is com ortably supported by her parents. But I do believe n dancing under the proper chaperonage. and in the ,roper environment. It is a very heaithfui, invigo -ating. joy-giving exercise, and every mother ought o encourage her daughter in dancing, even if Mother las to make self-sacrifice to see that the girl has he right sort of partners in the right sort of a iance room. The trouble with the mother is that she says. "You must not do this" and she does not add "But you may do that." She says "You must not go to the public dance ha'!." and she does not add "But we wiil get up a lancing club." How often have you giris who just love to dance, but who have no big parlors and willing parents to give you this pleasure, read of "subscription dances" given by wealthy society people? It never occurred to you. did it. that these subscription dances were yohr public dances in modified form? Just as you pay fifty cents to attend a pubiic dance in a public hail, so the heiress of thousands buys a ticket for the subscription dance in her set. Her ticket is her own, paid for by her parents The man who dances with her pays for his own ticket. The difference is that the list of persons who may buy tickets is care fully scanned by the organizers of the ciub and its patronesses. The tatter are married women who know who's who in society. The money paid for these tickets is used to defray sii expenses, music, haii. refreshments, favors, etc You know ten giris. and every one of the ten giris knows a nice young man. Sometimes you go to the same public dances and sometiihea you do not. But in a way you ail know each other. Very well. Decide to start a dancing club that shaii meet once a week or once in two weeks. Per haps the "ntce dancing teacher" around the corner wtii heip you out. He may have one evening a week when his hai! is not engaged. Teii him your pian, and ask how many people at fifty cents a head you wtii need to pay for the haii. the music, and per haps lemonade and rake or coffee. He may know some nice girls and boys who would join the ciub. Then you want a few married coupies to heip out. Perhaps some of the young married people who work in the same store or office or factory with you wtii he ready for just this pieasure. That wtii give your ctuh dignity and keep sway very undesirable young men who believe not in pieasnre and fun. but in license. Appoint the married women, at least six of them, patronesses. Hach patroness is supposed to take five tickets to sell to agreeable and desirable young men This saves the girls a tot of embarrassment. Next form yohr business committee. This may he made up of boys and girls whose duty tt fs to get the most ror your money, ro close the bargain for the hall, music, etc- Of course the larger your num ber. the lesB It costs per capita. If your hall, music and refreshments together cost !2B (and in smaller cities you can make such a bargain), and you have fifty parsons in the ciub. it wiii cost you Hfty cents each. You must not admit any members to the club with., out consulting your patronesses or chaperones On the night of the dances, the patronesses stand near the door to receive arriving guests, and also to say good-night after the dance is over. Between these hours they dance tike other members of the ciub. ff stitl young enough to enjoy a two-step or waltz. This may sound a trifle stiff and format to the giri who has dropped into promiscuous dances and who has danced with men without the farmaitty of an introduction, but it is the one safe method for the giri in a big city, particularly if no reiatives are near to guard her. And I do not believe that any bright, up-to-date set of giris wtii fait to make these simple subscription dances a success, or to convert young men Into believing in them. And if a young man prefers the public to the subscription dance, then you don't want to know htm. Suggest this plan to "Mother." and if she is the sort of mother I think she is. she wiii not only say "yes." but wtii heip out a iittie tinanciaiiy to put the ciub on its feet. It is a small price to pay tor her daughter's safety. Next week we wtii take up the etiquette of the dance, the obligations of partners, escorts, etc. Economy in Sleeves H1LE the newest styles in gowns Bhow long and simple lines, the sleeves and yokes are most elaborate, and some of them Intricate In detail. Therefore. In making over an old blouse, the most Important question Is "How can I remodel the sleeves?" One thing is certain, you cannot depend on the skimpy pieces left from the old sleeves, and you do not think that entirely different ma terial will do. Here you are mistaken. Rip up the old sleeves, sponge and press them. Then buy a little new ma terial and make elbow sleeves contrast ing in weave but harmonious in color, using the pieces of the old sleeves for tiny bias bands about the cuffs, or shaped circular rufhes at the top if there is enough. If not enough for the latter, the bias bands will be sufficient. Now inset a little yoke of the new ma terial and make a collar of the same, and this will give you a very up-to date blouse. Netsare used with cloth. <ilk, linen and cotton fabrics. The prettiest guimpes can be made of scraps of lace a woman always tucks in Mm iace box—If only you had enough for sleeves! This is a question easily solved. Make the guimpe on a foundation lining, and use your pre cious bits of lace only where they will show under the jumper Mouse. As to the sleeves, match the iace in edging of some inexpensive quality in same weight and tint Make a foundation sleeve of white muslin, and sew the lace on this in three ruiHes. This is one of the most popular sleeves this season. Perhaps you have a dress with short sleeves, and now that the freshness has worn off. you wish it had long sleeves, so you could "get the good of it" for informal wear. This is easily accom plished. Some of the very smartest new models are showing sleeves Which reach above the etbow or just beiow it. made from material like the waist it self. Then the tong sieeve effect is procured by making a tight-fitted lin ing of white lawn and over this a mousquetaire or fulled undersleeve of net or iace. This sleeve must come to the wrist. It may even form a point that runs down over the hand. You must put touches of the same iace on j the blouse. Perhaps a itttle lace tie made of the net. or a "V" shaped dickey, but lace must be introduced in the blouse as well as the sleeve. To illustrate the use of a variety of materials in making sleeves. I can de scribe a gown I saw the other day. Eresh from the hands of a French modiste. It was the simplest little lav snder mull, with a full tucked skirt, absolutely devoid of trimming. The blouse was a surplice, and the sleeves— they were marvels. The body of the sleeve was made in a little puff of all bver Val. lace. Over this was a cap of [rish lace, edged with batiste medall ions. and each medallion was edged with a tiny frill of Val. lace. Let me tdd that this gown was worn by a tall, willowy girl. It would be impossible ?n a short, stout girl—but it will sug gest to readers the idea of using up bdds and ends of lace. By combining two or three different kinds at hand VOu can often evolve a charming sleeve without buying any net# material. If your tailored shirtwaist is per fectly good except that the lower part bf the sleeve is worn out, cut off the sleeve just beiow the elbow and wear tong white undercuffs of some plain material like batiste, dimity, etc. Take the old pieces of the sleeve and patch under the arms, or wherever you may see the waist about to break, and you will end that it will look new and fresh again. MARY BEAN. Tartar Sauce for Fiaht BeliciDus with fried or broiled ash of any kind also may be served with hamburg steak. Cine cup of mayonnaise dress ing. one tablespoon each of capers blives. green cucumber pickle and par sley. Chop the relishes moderately dne, and shake up in a piece of cheese sloth until the moisture Is absorbed. Then, a little at a time, blend these with the mayonnaise. Have the Hsh or meat very hot—the sauce is cold. Serve this sauce in a separate dish. 'Twixt Six and Sixteen Fashions RESSING girls between six and sixteen is every mother's prob lem. Very few girls strike a pleasing medium. Either they are all pngleh or all curves, rarely a happy combination of the two. The angular girl seems all legs and arms. The heavy-set girl is an animated pin cushion, resisting all motherly attempts to imbue her raiment with grace or per sonality. But as this particular problem of motherhood must be solved, let us do it without further delay. The general effect of a frock for a growing girl, be she thin or stout, is .regulated largely by the selection of the fabric. The stout girl should never he encased in a startling plaid or even a medium sized check, but both of these are be coming to the thin girl. On the other hand, the very thin girl should never be dressed in stripes nor snug-iltting clothes. The thin girl may wear a frock much trimmed with Huffy rufhes and rose pleatings, but braid and flat knife pleatings are for her roly-poly sister. Soft, indefinable mixtures are always better for the awkward age than pro nounced patterns of any sort. A small conventional figure on a single-tone ground is also better than wide checks or plaids. The wash goods this spring are especially fancy, and it is a wise mother who turns her back on these gay stripes, checks, plaids and borders for her girls 'twixt six and sixteen. Pronounced patterns of any sort and especially in striking colorings are *a extravagance, for they db not wear so wblt! because of sun and tubbing, hs the simpler, plainer designs. Then, too a chiid soon tires of the frock that its too pronounced. Many a little girl's heart has ached because her compan ions accuse her of having oniy one dress to wear to school, simply on ac count of the frock's being a vivid plaid or check. Had the dress been less striking, its constant use would not have attracted notice. The prettiest white materials for best wear this season y.re the figured Swlsses and barred dtidlg^s. lawns and batistes. These require vyy Httle embroidery or lace for trimrrjgg. And are moat be- coming to girmi both tali and short.' For simpler suit#, especially for school or play, there age cotton voiles, per cales, linens and galatea cloth in light weight and lovel^ ginghams and zephyr cloths. What is known as the natural tone, i. e., a strong ecru, is much used by economical mothers because it does not show dirt and does not fade it! washing. It comes in almost all wash goods, and may be trimmed with pip ings or wash braids of a contrasting color such as white, brown, red or blue. Blue-grey chambreys, trimmed with wash braids or strips of white embroidery, remain very good this sea son. For afternoon frocks, grenadine designs are shown, and these include striped muslins and lawns, with a satin finish in one stripe and a iace effect in the other. Stunning jumper and Eton costumes in heavy linen are offered for girls of all ages, and th^ese sensibly are made with very littldf ontrasting trimming. Often the cuffs grd collar* are detach ed, so that the cloyed suit and its pure white accessories can be washed sepa rately. This is insurance against the running of the color into the white trimmings. Unquestionably this remains a season of overblouses #nd Jumpers for grow ing girls, and &*tLts seem to be more popular than syrrings or ruffles. P*or outdoor^ wraps, cutaways are shown for girl#,, near sixteen, but for *Tte***ii3par9t si k, the box coat remains ih favor. The lowest hats for girls, as for their mothg^s, are the huge, Hat croWned saild^sftrimmed with big bows or wreaths of Sowers. The shape is extremely trying to both thin-faced and moon-faced girls. It makes the thin girl look pinched and the stout girl look sawed-off, so a wise mother turns away resolutely from the new shape and takes something less trying. A hat with one side upturned and the other drooping) is generally more be coming to a growing girl than the hat of uniform width and droop ail the way round. Brown shoes, tiea and hosiery remain in style, and the ugly custom of wear ing white stockings with black shoes or ties is dying a natural death. Two Fish Szmces Fgg Sauce for Fish! Cod is one of the cheapest fishes for boiling pur poses, but served with a properly made sauce it becomes a real deli cacy. Melt one tablespoon of but ter in a saucepan, but do not allow it to brown. Add one tablespoon of flour and stir until smooth, flavor with half teaspoon of salt and one-fourth teaspoon of white pepper. Have ready one cup of hot milk, add this gradually, stir until it reaches the consistency of thick cream, then simmer very gently without stirring for three minutes. Add two hard-boiled eggs, chopped or diced, and, just as you remove from fire, one teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of chopped parsley. Do not allow it to boil after you add the lemon juice, and drain your fish absolutely dry before pouring the sauce over it, otherwise your sauce will become watery. Tomato Sauce for Fish! This can be used with boiled or fried fish. Half a can of tomatoes, six cloves, three sprigs of parsley, one teaspoon of mixed herbs, one-half teaspoon of whole all spice, one-half teaspoon of peppercorns. Cook these together for twenty min utes. In another saucepan, melt and brown one tablespoon of butter, add to this two tablespoons of finely chopped onion. When the onion is brown adl two tablespoons of flour, and allow this to brown. Now add slowly one cup of soup stock, then the cooked tomato mixture, simmer gently ten minutes, and rub through a coarse siev*. This is served hot over the Ash. Beauty for rnr*t HE appearance of the eye will be materially injured if you are abusing or straining it. In the effort to see, you "squint," or draw the two lids together until the eye becomes a mere slit. This habit of "squinting does not help your vision at all. All oculists will tell you that you secure a better view with the eyes wide Open, but if your vision is failing, for the sake of your nerves, your brain and your peraonal appearance, have your eyes properly fitted with glasses. This will not only cure you of the habit of "squinting," but it will stop the prog ress of crows' feet and lines around your eyes. You cannot change the coloring or I size of the Iris, but you can change and improve the white portion of the eye. If this has an ug!y yellow look instead of a clear, pearly, or bluish white, nine cases out of ten you are billlous, and as soon as you clear out your system thoroughly, the heavy look will be reduced and your eyes will be better. If the white portion of the eye is bloodshot, and the tiny little veins are red and Inflamed. this la practically a feverish condition, which you can re duce by both Internal and external treatment. Internally the blood may need thinning. You may be eating too rich food and not taking sutHclent ex ercise. To treat It externally, twice a day go Into a darkened room end lay cloths dipped Into very hot water across your closed eyes. Bathe the eyes once a day with salt water, made with distilled water and common table salt thoroughly dissolved, or you can use a boric acid wash. Mix ten grains of boric acid with an ounce of dis tilled water. The best way to drop this into the eye, or to bathe the eye ball. is to use the eye cup. a tiny glass receptacle with curved edges that 8t right around the eyeball. It can be purchased at any drug store for a few cents. Fill the cup almost full with

the soothing lotion and hold down the head ao that the eye fits right into the cup. Now slowly Ring back your head, holding the cup in position so that it is inverted and the eyeball is literally bathed and cleansed. If the lower lid is baggy or puffed, one of two difficulties exist—either you have some latent kidney trouble mani fested in this condition, or the eyelid is inflamed. To ascertain whether this Inflammation exists, stand before your mirror and gentiy turn the lower lid over so that you dan see the lower lining. If this Is scarlet, or Inflamed, or covered with tiny little granules, then you may be sure that you are suffering from inflammation strong enough to cause a swelling. If there Is no sign of inflammation, then the case is on* for your physician to investigate. Should It prove to be a symptom of kidney trouble while your physician treats you internally, the baggy or flabby flesh under the eye can be gently massaged. If it is a case of inflammation, a very dmple remedy is this: Mix ten grains )f borax with an ounce of camphor vater, understand, this is camphor vater, and not spirits of camphor. 3athe the inflamed eyes with this and lse hot water compresses. When the ndammation has existed for some nonths and becomes almost chronic, rou will need a slightly stronger lo ion. I will be glad to send the tor nula for this to any chronic sufferer rom inflamed eyelids, but generally ;he lotion given above is sufficient. Mixed Green Saladt Make a bed of :risp light green lettuce leaves. In a separate bowl mix onions sliced very thin, cucumber, canned string beans md peas, and some green asparagus tips, using a French dressing, plenti fully seasoned with salt and pepper, as all these vegetables need high season ing. When you have mixed the salad horoughly, arrange it in a mound a* the lettuce leaves.
