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

PERTINENT QUESTIONS
BY THE REV. 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. It
confines the ox to his stalL

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."
