Enamelware Cement.
For mending enamelware pots and
pans where a hole has been made or
the enamel has been chipped off, the
following is effective: Equal parts of
soft putty, finely sifted coal ashes and
sifted table salt. Mix all together and
pack it into the hole. Place the mend-
ed article on the stove with a little
water in it until the cement gets hard.
It never fails, and it becomes as hard
as the enamel itself.
From “Poor Richard.”
When you incline to have new
new clothes, look first well over the
old ones, and see if you cannot shift
with them another year, either by
scouring, mending or even patching, if
necessary. Remember a patch on your
coat and money in your pocket is bet-
ter and more creditable than a writ
on your back and no money to take
it off.

Garden Gains.
Hiram—*“Sol Sodbuster claims to
have discovered the best way to make
money with his garden.” Henry—
“What's the system?” “This summer
he is going to put a house in it.” “But
isn’t he going to raise anything?”
“Yes, just as soon as he can he is go-
ing to raise the rent.”—Youngstown,

Salt as Cleaner.
To clear willow furniture scrub each
piece well with a coarse brush and
water that is strongly saturated with
salt, then dry with a soft cloth. Salt
not only cleans willowware, but pre-
vents it from turning yellow. Straw
matting may be most successfully
cleaned in the same way.
Cheerfulness.
What, indeed, does not that word
cheerfulness imply. It means a con-
tented spirit, it means a pure heart, it
means a kind and loving disposition,
it means humility and charity, it
means a generous appreciation of oth-
ers and a modest opinion of self.—
Thackeray.

“So you got your poem printed ?”’
“Yes,” replied the determined author.

nal that came to the New Jersey
from the flagship at eight one morn-

for the navigator. The bugles sound-

bridge, and others below to the fires
and engines.
The anchor chain, like a big black
iron snake, was sucked slowly in by |
some invisible power. A swirl of
sand and mud showed where the gi-
ant teeth had held the bottom of the
bay. On each of the “chains” at the
sides two boys were heaving the leads
and shouting the soundings. Others
were frantically waving flags or hoist-
ing long strings of pennants, signaling
to nearby ships. The big ship was
slowly getiing under way.
On the other ships of the Third di-
vision of the Atlantic fleet was sim-
ilar activity. The flagship Virginia,
with Rear Admiral Beatty, steamed
out in the lead, with the Georgia, Ne-
braska and New Jersey following in
the column. After them came’ the Sec-
ond division, under Rear Admiral
Bousch on the Louisiana, which was
followed by the Michigan, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont.
Grimly and silently they moved out

steel, eight delicately adjusted en-
gines of destruction, in a line more
than two and a half miles long and

Swinging a fleet or a squadron of
eight or even a division of four bat-
tleships into action is a feat which re-
quires days of drills even by men
whose lives have been a study and
practise of the science of warfare.
This week was to try out a new
scheme of tactics and signals evolved
by Rear Admiral Fletcher.
Naval battles of the future will be
between fleets. The old days when
ships locked masts and hammered
each other until one sank or burned
or its decks were swept clean, live
only in paintings. The engagements
between single ships will be occa-
sional. The real battles of the sea
will be between fleets—16 to 60 hurl
ing shell and deadly exploding fulmin-
ite. The Japanese knew how to ma-
neuver by fleets and picked off the
Russian battleships one by one and
wiped out the czar's fleets.
The Third division ships, which
weigh 17,000 tons each and with good
marksmanship could put a shell in an
opposing ship six miles away, are be-
coming obsolete and are doomed to

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A BELLE. !
“My face is my fortune, sir, she said.”
The old rhyme rings true in that line.
The woman who has a fair face has a
fortune which many a man of wealth is
glad to wed for. It is a shame, there-
fore, to squander the fortune provided by
the fairy god-mother, Nature. Yet, we
see girls fair as the budding roses, sud-
denly lose their beauty and fade, as the
rose fades when the worm is at its heart.
Face lotions, tonics, nervine, and other
things are tried, but the face grows thin - :
and hollow. Fortunate is such a young | =
woman if some friend should tell her of
the intimate relation of the health of the
womanly organs to the general health,
and point her to that almost unfailing
cure for feminine diseases, Dr. Pierce’s
Favorite Prescription. This medicine
works wonders for women in the restora-
tion of lost fairness. It is a true beau-
tifier, restoring the womanly health, and
with health are restored the curves and
dimples, the bright eye and smooth skin
which are the charms of beauty.
