TUB CITIZEN, KUIDAV, MAHC1I 11, 1010. I Household I i USE FOR FIRELESS COOKER. New Idea Is Invaluable In Proper Preparation of Cereal. Few people cook tholr cereals Ions enough. As served in many families. the ce real is thick, lumpy, and, If the truth wore known, Indigestible. It Is made too thick In the begin ning, because time Is not allowed for It to cook long enough to become so. Oatmeal is most sinned against In this respect. It should bo cooked four hours at least, longer if possible. It Is really best If cooked over night, nnd in many careful families this is done. Put it on the back of the stove nt night, then the first thing In the morning draw it over the hotter urt and let it finish cooking. This is difficult to manage where gas stoves arc used. It would be Impossibly extrava gant to leave a gas Jet turned on for the whole night. The best solution of the difficulty is a fireless cooker. These arc growing to be more nnd more used, and nre eminently useful and practical for such purposes. The New Clothesline Reel. Here is a reel for the speedy foldins up of the clothes line. It is a wooden frame with two projecting handles, one to be taken in one hand and one In the other. When the line is at- tached to one of the crosspieces of the framework, the handles are turned nnd the line winds Itself from the pole around the frame of the winder with out the hands having to touch the cord at all. This keeps the clothesline clean and makes it easy to wind It up without getting it Into the tangle that Is the usual result of winding it around the arm. Washing Ribbons. I never had any success in washing ribbons until I invented the following method of ironing them. It works like a charm: Wash the ribbons (separately, if you have several to cleanse) in cold water with castile or any good white soap. Use a brush to remove spots, and if you are fortunate enough to have a marble-topped washstand stretch the several ribbons upon the marble and Just scrub them clean with a hard brush. Ulnse thoroughlv and proceed at once to Iron. Place over your ironing board several thicknesses of folded nowspaper and above these lay one fold of olr muslin. Then place your wet ribbons, one by on. upon the muslin and Iron with a hot (tatiron. You will find this a Ftfim Ing process, and the foundation o; newspaper will absorb the molslure forced out by the heat, and leave the silk fresh, soft and beautiful. Taffeta ribbons look like new after such treat ment. N. J. Miscellaneous. To clean currants and raisins, roll In flour and then pick off all stalks, etc. If currants are washed, they must be dried before being added to rakes. For a damp closet or sideboard wh'ch is liable to cause mildew, place In It a saucerful of quicklime, and it not only absorb all dampness, but sweeten and disinfect the space. If oil is spilled on a carpet Imme diately scatter cornmeal over It. nnd the oil will be absorbed. Oil thnt ha? poaked into a carpet may be taken out by laying a thick piece of blotting paper over it and pressing with a hot Hat iron; repeat tho operation, using a fresh piece of paper each time. Old pieces of velveteen should, after they have served their original pur pose, be saved for pollshing-cloths. They will nnswer the purpose of chamois for plate-cleaning, etc., per fectly, and save buying anything fresh. Wash tho velveteen cloths as often as needed In soapy water, and hane out to dry. Skirts a They Are Worn. Many of the latest skirts nre quite full. A mole-colored foulard printed with big white spots which had a nort of network pattern around them tins a skirt plaited as far as the knees, but from that point it falls in narrow folds that are edged with little frills. Tho draped crossed front of the waist front V of Irish lace and the sleeves have mitten cuffs of the same lace. To Prevent Puckers. To prevent embroidery on sheer ma terials from puckering, baste tissue paper under the part to be embroider ed. It will easily pull away when the work Is finished. 110 CR'cYCES OR CORNERS. Refrigerator Built on the Lines of the Porcelain Dathtub. An unclean refrigerator can neyor be a good rcfrlgorntor, and tho proper care of this very nccessnry nrtlcle Is alwnys more or less u enre to tho housukeoi.er. Orcnt advances hnve been made In tho construction of re frigerators mnlnly by the elimination of all cracks nnd crevices which might offer a lodging plnce for particle.! of food. The pert' ctlon of this schemo LJ-LJ En seems to he in Ihe manufacture of the Interior lining of the refrigerator in one piece, belns presseD out of tho sheet metal and enameled in the same mnnner as the- porcelain bathtubs. This leaves all the Interior surfaces entirely smooth so that every part may bo reached with the cleaning cloth or brush. Another advantage claimed is the positive immunity from leaks. THE BUTTERFLY MARKET. Once $3,000 was Quoted' as the Value ofa Rare Specimen. There are many huttcrtlies whose value to collectors is very great, but although $3,000 has been quoted as the value of a specimen, this Is an ex aggerated price. Some years ago the female of a cer tain variety was much sought after by collectors, and only one or two speci mens had been obtained. A clever fel low centred all his efforts upon ob taining a large supply of this particu lar Insect Unfortunately, he killed his own market by putting them all up for sale at once a. nd instead of realizing a large figure for each speci men he only sold a few. There are specimens ut our own Natural History Museum to-day which nre of considerable value, and one which has the largest expanse of wing of any known butterfly was once pointed out by a collector who had obtained It aH being worth $1,500. A contrast to this huge Insect Is a tiny specimen from Ceylon which meas ures about half an Inch across. The value of an insect varies in proportion to the amount of money spent in gettln- It, and when some rich collector has had to equip and send out a complete expedition in or der to obtain a specimen or two ot one particular butterfly, one can un derstand him pricing such specimens according to the cost of the expedi tion, and it i3 in this way that so many fancy values are heard of. Any thing up to $150 a pair, however. Is not an uncommon price. EXPERIMENT IN DYNAMICS. Odd Movements of a Spool of Thread and Pencil. A half-unrolled spool of thread is placed on a table and the thread THE EXl'EIUMENT. pulled horizontally from the under side of it. tho spool, contrary to gen eral expectation, will roll towards the band. In conn, ctlon with this It Is Interesting to note that If the cylinder Is larger In diameter nt the point around which the thread U wound than it 1b at the points on which it rolls, It will roll away from tho hand when the thread Is pulled. ThlB ex periment can be tried by passing a pencil through a spot) and resting the ends of .t on t'o hooks as In the Il lustration. Also. If the thread bo drawn from the under side of a full spool resting on a fiat surface the spool will not move In either direc tion. The Ocean Cables. There are about 225,000 miles of cable In all at tho bottom of the sea, representing $2fi),000.000, each line costing about $1,000 a mile to make and lay. The aver .ge useful life of a cable nowadayn is anything between thirty and forty years, according to clrcumBtanees. About 6,000,000 mes sages are conveyed by tho world's ca bles throughout the year, or 15,000 a da, the working apeed of uny one ca ble being up to 100 words a minute under present conditions. About 90 per cent, of these nre sent In codo or cipher. New Degclng Dodgj.

J. LYON CAUGHEY. I Text: And after the fire, a still, small voice. I. Kings, xl., 12. The passage In tho Hook or Kings from which our text Is taken seems to me to describe the conditions under which wo have been living In this city recently, and at tho same time to in dicate whnt ought to follow nftcr the grent celebrntlon. The celebration has been a wonder ful dlBplny of material ndvnnccment and nchlevement, of sclcntlllc progress and development. But Is this. n'er all, the mntter of greatest Import" We have u great many tilings that tha men and women o" three hunu iU years ago did not possess, hut are we nny better men and women than tboy wore? Wo live a great deal faster than they did, but do wo live any better or nmic useful lives? We havo mndo a great many Improvements In our iivm ner of living, but have we made nny great improvement in our characters? These are tho questions we ought to he asking ourselves If we are to make any comparison between ourselves and the men nnd women of three hun dred years ngo, for spiritual and not mnterlal development Is the real test of progress. What does it matter If we have bet ter and bigger boats than Hudson .iiid Fulton ever dreamed of If we are not better fitted to sail the sens of e-- r nity? What does it matter It sold ers do march in splendid array alonu .he streets If they nre not good sold ers In the battle of life? What does it matter If men do learn to tly in .' air? Will they ever be able with tr-riv airships and aeroplanes to fly up to heaven? What does it matter If we are richer than the men nnd women of in,nr ag0 f we are not richer to.v rrt God? All this modern material progress Is of very little value unless it helps, to mnke better men and women, un less It enables and inspires us to Inc larger and nobler lives, unless it brings us into closer fellowship with God and makes us more worthy to en ter into the life eternal. We have enjoyed the festivity and the excitement, the naval and military display, the varied and kaleidoscopic scenes. But no one except children would like to hnve the fun and festiv ity continue indefinitely. Most of us are glad that the end has come. The rush and hurry of the holiday season soon become monotonous nnd barren of Interest It is significant, I think, that a young society woman should have an nounced in the midst of the season of festivity her dissatisfaction and dis gust with a life devoted to the pleasures of society. "No life is so monotonous and dull as modern socie ty life," she says, "and I am deter mined to make something different of myself." The young woman's sense of dissatisfaction helps to reveal the emptiness of a life given over wholly to selfish pleasure. Life is empty nnd bnrren of any real happiness without something worth while to do for the glory of God and the good of our fel low men. God help us to listen intently for the stllll small voice in our souIb, the voice of duty, the voice of unselfish ness, the voice of the Spirit of God. The Life of Service. No life Is really worth living that is not a useful life, nnd which does not exalt the Idea of service. The life of the Apostle Paul was eminently suc cessful, not as tried by the standards of Caesar, but as moasurcd athwnrt tho great plans of Jehovah, because Paul put God first and Paul last, and kept before him the Ideal of the body presented ns a living sacrifice, as outlined in the twelfth chapter of Uo mans. The Paulino Ideal of a conse cration that dally serves both God nnd mnn Is the only principle which should rulo the development of prosent-dny Christian life. The Joy of Serving. In this world, the sweetest deepest, purest Joy ot life Is that which we find in doing good, In serving others. This was Christ's own sweetest Joy. Ho came to earth to serve. He loved, nnd lovo's deepest Joy alw'hys comes In blessing, comforting others. He bequeathed his Joy to us, and so we find our holiest Joy, ns he found His, In serving. Christianity's Gift. The gift of Christianity was tho rovelatlon of a person who waa to make humanity a porpetual Institution God In Christ, In whom God came from heaven down to earth In the In carnation. Platitudes. We are leaving tho ten command ments to preach and to tench a few platitudes which do not affect tho con sciences of men, and which make a flabby character. Repressive Christianity. Christianity Is repressive. It dooa cramp. It does confine. It represses tho animal, cramps the selfishness.

BRIDE A SALESGIRL IN STORE Son of Secretary of State Who Fled From School Goes to Wash ington to Ask His Father's Forgiveness. Providence, It. I., Mnrch . I'hllnn iler Chnsc Knox, Jr., son of the secre tary of state, who eloped with May Gertrude Boiler, wns married to her in Burlington, Vt, according to n state ment made by the couple here. Young Knox, who for the past two years has been n student nt the Mor ris Heights Preparatory school, left here with the girl on Friday. They went directly to Montreal, where they attempted to secure u mnrrlngu li cense. Failing there, they cume down through Now York state to Vermont, where the ceremony wns performed on Sunday night by the Itev. E. G. Guth rie, pastor of the First Congregational church of Burlington. The announcement of the elopement acted as u bombshell In fashionable circles of the city, especially at the Morris heights hcIhkjI. which eaters particularly to the sons of the rich. Dr. John Shaw French, head of the school, was greatly disturbed. lie ad mitted thnt Knox went away on Fri day, hut said that it was on the strength of a permit signed by .Secre tary of State Knox for the purpose ot allowing the boy to go to Hartford to visit a friend. As soon as he was Informed of the marriage Dr. French had a state chamber session with Knox, urn! the young man and his bride afterward left for Washington, where the bride groom will have u session-with his fa tlier and beg the hitter's forgiveness. The pretty bride wns iu n Highly nervous stute ami "t first flatly de chired that there wns uothlujr to say Finally, however, she hurst forth: "Well, as long as you have cornered mo I will say that Mr. Knox and I were married Sunday night at the limne of a friend of his in Burlington Vt. A minister married us. I do not know his inline, for Mr. Knox attend ed to that. Mr. Knox said he had n good reason for it not becoming public yet, hut I en n't suy nny more. I guess I've said enough anyhow. We had in tended to iniiki! It known in x few days anyway." Miss Boiler's apartments contain va rious pictures of Knox, who lias been prominent In the athletics of the school. He Is captain of the football this year nnd u member of tho trncl; team. 'Both football and track uni forms figure among the photos. Miss Boiler, who Is nineteen yean of nge, two years younger than Knox Is not of tin society set. Instead she Is of humble parentage and was n salesgirl In one of the department stores. Her mother, Mrs. Daniel Geary said that May had not lived ut home for some time, and she really did not know a great deal about what wnt going on. Mrs, Knox. Jr., is u small and beau tlful blond. During the two years thnt Knox has been here she has been seeu frequently in public places, but nevei with nny mule escort other than the son of the secretary of state. Since Philander junior lias been nt Morris heights he lias had two big automo biles here nil the time, nnd once, n few months ngo, he was arrested nnd fined for ovcrspeeding. This is the fourth elopement In the Knox family. After Heed Knox, the secretary's eldest son, eloped with Miss Elizabeth McCook of Pittsburg Secretary Knox, who was then tutor ney general, remarked: "It Is all right. I have gained a new daughter without the fuss of u marriage." 02 DEAD IN AVALANCHE. Later Report From British Columbia Snowslide Gives Details. Ottawa, March 8.
