The prosecution in Iho now famous Idaho-Haywood case has begun unfolding the most terrible story of crime that has ever been repeaterl in this country. Alfred Horsier, alius Harry Orchard, ii the chief witness for the state nnd has already confessed to enough alleged participation in criu.e and murder to place him In a position where no sensible man could del sore In anything he fays. When a man becomes so utterly lost to every sense of decency as to become tho paid assassin, not merely in one case, but as he pretends to confess In scores of them, where he was lhe direct means of lhe murder, it must bo txpected that he would not be-i:atc lo duplicate tho criintj if it could bo committed without lhe necessity fir actually sinking tho blow. Ilia testimony llil-vefore reaches not merely to the implication of Haywood, M >ycr and Peltihone in the asa- arEination of cx-Govirncr Stucnberg, but gifts directly to tin foundation of one of lhe strongest labor organizations in the world, and oinsequently affects l lie in teres's uf the entire nftlion, Tlicre aie those oj'pospd to organized labor who b lieve this is n n,est opportune lime fir staking u body blow to the from the mine.

PLAYED CAT'S CRADLE i *RACE ��������**��� POPULAR SOCIAL DIVERSION OP PYGMIES OF SOUTH AFRICA. Interesting Discoveries Made by That Enterprising Anthropologist, Prof. Frederick Starr of Chicago University, During His Recent Trip ts the Very Heart of Darkest Africa. ���Cannibalism Practiced. The eminent scientist. Prof. Frederick Starr of Chicago University, says that one of the most important results of hla vIbH to the Congo region of Africa was his discovery that the natives of that part of the world play the child's game of oat's cradle. The learned professor was in earnest too. His journey of 22,000 miles was no joke, and lie took his life1 in bin hands when he went into the heart of the African jungle. He undertook the trip to study the pygmies of tin Congo region, nnd he spent 15 months in his quest for information aboul these and other tribes of the dark continent, yet the distinguished ani thropologist declares, without a smile that ho found nothing which interested him more than the fact thai eat'B cradle is the popular social di version in the colored society of tin Congo. Just why the professor at tacheB so much importance to tbii circumstance he does not explain. We must wait, he says, till he make! his report on the subject. It is known, however, that anthropologists hav�� built theories of possible relation' ships between peoples or the mingling of races by tracing the history oi familiar games through the centuries or the variations in a central idea oi a game in widely separated nations, CONGO PVQMIKS COMPARED WITH AMKlll- CAN INDIAN. The professor is not the first ethnologist who has noted the popularity of cat's cradle among primitive peoples. It is even said that pious missionaries while waiting to be chopped up and boiled for dinner by dusky Savages whom they failed to convert have observed these simple-minded people killing the time before the least by playing with loops of string and making the cat's cradles just aa the very little folks do in Canada. Apropos of cannibalism it may be remarked that Prof. Starr found it to be practiced to a limited extent among the pygmies of the Congo. It would hardly be fair, however, to call it cannibalism of the same variety us practiced by tho more savage tribes, Says the professor. The pygmies do riot kill other human beings in order to eat them, but sometimes eat the flesh of children or old people when Ihey die. Cannibalism in times of famine is not peculiar to the tribes bf Africa, but is found among many people. The Indians of this continent, who were not cannibalB, as a rule, often In days gone by ate the hearts of captives taken in battle, the practice being more in the nature of an act of symbolism than of a feast, and having to do with their religious ideas. Prof. Starr deems the natives of the Congo to be bright and intelligent. He visited more than twenty- tribes of them and, on the whole, fairly good time among both the "big iftkLthe little people of the pountry. Tne latter are not so dark as the larger natives, and he thinks they fcre unrelated to the ordinary negroes fcnd belong to a race which for many centuries, if not from its creation, has been distinct from the surrounding peoples. On tho Kufui and Batua rivers, where he spent the most time, they grow the smallest, from three feet ten inches to four feet two inches. The professor explored many of the tributaries of the Congo river and ���was the second white man to ascend tone of them, the Oiku river. For lome months after his departure into the African wilderness nothing was heard from him, and It was feared he might have fallen a prey to the oruelty of the people he went to investigate, but in due time he turned up safe and sound, with the young Mexican, Manuel Gonzales, whom he adopted as a boy and who acts as his photographer. The adventurous ethnologist is a bachelor and could therefore follow the leadings of his scientific study without causing anxiety to a wife and family during his prolonged absence ln the depth of the Congo jungles.

Since hydrophobia Is transmitted by inoculation and Its virus resides In thc ���allva of Its victim, the only absolute safeguard Is to keep dogs muzzled when at large. A muzzle Is a nuisance no doubt aud ln the Immense majority of cases needless, for almost invariably the mischief maker Is the ���trny cur, belonging to no one In particular and coming from nobody knows where. But It seems Impracticable to frame an effective regulation for the protection of the public from such Irresponsible and dangerous creatures Without making It applicable to all dan*. Some First Impressions of Newfoundland and People. A feature of Newfoundland which strikes a newcomer wherever he goes about the coasts is the type of sailing craft affected by the inhabitants. All the sailing vessels, almost without exception, are schooners. Thej vary in Bize, they vary in finish, bul they are all schooners. They are beautiful boats, and are eviduntly very serviceable. The majority of them are built. I believe, in Newfoundland, though a few may be built in Canada or the States. This is tbe kind of craft in which a large number of New womanH MiSS LYDIA GOULD WELD.

You will rarely find a Newfoundlander living inland. They aro born and bred for the sea. If they do not go in schooners they go in small boats, and they go big distances antl face dirty weather in these same small boats. They have a place for lighting a fire to boil water, etc. It does look Bomewhat alarming to see a small boat of this size bobbing up and down on the crests of 1t>ig waves, with two or three men in her, and smoke issuing from somewhere aboard. There is no chimney or anything for the smoke to pass through. This alarming view of such an occurrence is not that of the Newfoundlander, of course. For a good part of the year these peoph* are on the sea. What a nursery fr sailors I What a recruiting reserve to our navy! Where in all the Empire have we such a field? When our home supply is exhausted where shall we look? In Newfoundland most men are sailors, and all are loyal and true to the old flag. Attitude Towards Colonies. Why is it that in the Old Country the general attitude of a large section of the people towards the various Colonies is one of superiority and patronage; an attitude which would bo well expressed in the -words, "Just take what you get and be thankful"? Neither governing party is more to blame than the other. Nor need one blame a political party alone. In social and club life at home one finds this same vulgar spirit. Indeed, it may even be that various vexatious and irritating steps taken by different Home Governments have had their origin in this prevalent clubland spirit. In any case, it is not in political relations alone that this attitude of many in the Mother Country finds expression. It is found in other relations. It is keenly resented, wherever found; and small wonder! Kind and Simple Folk. The people of Newfoundland are very hospitable and kind, and they are a simple folk. I have been entertained and treated as if I had been known for years to my hosts, instead ol having suddenly dropped into their midst, and never before having been heard of by them. This is only one instance, but it is fairly typical. As one goes round the various harbors, one is impressed by the number of religious denominations in evidence, even in communities of smal" size. In a village of 300 people, young and old, more or less, you may quite likely find Methodists, Episcopalians, Salvation Army followers, and Roman Catholics. In some you may even find a fifth division, Presbyterians; but these latter are not as a rule very numerous, though theirs is quite a respectable total. In a few communities they may be the most numerous, but this is a rare thing to find. Frequently it is found that Roman Catholics are the sole inhabitants in one harbor, while in the next there are only Protestants; or when they both live in the same community, one section of the village is exclusively Protestant while the other is Roman Catholic. should have a small gore between each of the fingers."

THE ARKANSAS HOG. How to Make Starch. To make boiled starch, allow one tablespoonful of starch to two table- spoonfuls of cold water, then add half a teaspoonful of borax and a small piece of wax candle. This keeps the Iron from sticking. Pour on boiling water, stirring carefully all the time until these ingredients are well mixed and creamy looking and the starch ls cooked. It should then be strained through a piece of muslin and the basin be covered with a plate to prevent a skin forming. If the starch ls too thick, It may be diluted with cold water, and this should be added as goon as possible after the starch bas been made. The Wife's Allowance. Should the married woman have an allowance? Well, rather. The husband who will make his wife run to him before he will give her $5 ought to be sent to tbe rock pile.

The Revue Hebdomadaire publishes an anecdote on Victor Hugo which by many will be considered very characteristic. Right after Napoleon III.'s coup d'etat Victor Hugo and Schoel- cher, a well known politician of that period, fled together from Paris. A. short time afterward, when Hugo met Scboelcher at his table in Brussels, the poet said: "Yes, my dear friend, you can boast of having once Beared me very much. I bad no doubt but that we were done for." Turning to the other guests, he explained: "We were on the way to the Northern railroad depot and were sitting silent and uneasy in the omnibus, our hats drawn deep over our foreheads. Presently a regiment of infantry passed by with flying colors and resounding music. At the sight Scboelcher forgot all caution aud, leaning out ot the window, shouted, 'Down with Caesarl' Instantly I caught hold of him and closed his mouth with my hand. Oue word more and we should have been doue for." Two years later Schoelcher visited bis friend Hugo in Guernsey. At diuner again tbe coup d'etat was discussed, and the poet called forth recollections of times pnst "Do you still recollect, Scboelcher," he asked, "the day of our flight? We really came off very lucky. But didn't we act like madmen, shouting 'Down with Caesarl' wbeu that regiment wns passing by? Of course we were too Indignant to be nble to keep our temper." Several years lapsed, and again Scboelcher was a guest ln Hugo's house. Conversation turned to civic courage and the like. "Well, my dear Schoelcher," Hugo said to his friend. "I must tell you something I have had in my heart for years. In a critical moment of your life you showed a weakness which grieved me deeply. You will recollect that day when we, after the coup d'etat, left Paris and how I, while a regiment of infantry was passing by, at the sight of these killers of our liberty and In a rage, having no command over myself, shouted out, 'Down with Caesarl' I still have you before my eyes trembling with fear, catching hold of me Quenelles With Spinach.

Size isn't everything, as the 'possum at the Toronto Riverdale Zoo doubtless could state, if its language were translatable. The once popular song had it, "Says the ant to the elephant who are you shoving?" There was something of this nature at the Zoo recently when the 'possum strayed from its cage and nearly broke up the happy home of the elephant. The 'possum in its midnight ramble, so scared the big specimen of Elephas Africanus that the latter set up a dismal wail, and the dissembling little creature was fain to seek other shelter. This was no less a place than at the feet of the sleeping lioness, and when the keeper discovered the situation the lioness resented the keeper's intrusion on her domestic affairs. She evidently waa pleased with the 'possum's trust, and wished to adopt the stranger. However, the 'possum was removed by means of a rake. Canada's Railway Progress.

Tbe former spring from a constant regard and thought for tbe feelings of others, fr-m habitual Belt 'denial, from a love of gentleness and [peace, while tbe latter is merely affectation. . There can be no true politeness 'where there Is no consideration for others. Good manners are shown in small deeds rather tban the big actions of life, In the everyday Intercourse rather than at occasional parties. ' There Is no woman -o respected, so songht after and so admired as Oie woman whose easy, gracious manners put every one at ease���the woman who never forgets what ls due to others rather than to herself, who Is always ready to help with voice and deed.

Shelley as a Boy. Here Is a glimpse of Shelley offered by Andrew Lang: "It seems uluiost Incredible, but it is true, that 1 once knew a man who was at Eton with Shelley, who left In 1810. This was Mr. Hammond, a senior fellow of Morton college when I was an Inquiring junior. About 1870 he told me all that I could extract from hlm about the poet. 'Shelley was not a clever boy: he never was sent up for good,' which means, I conceive, that he never did a remarkable exercise In Latin verse. Mr. Hammond added that Shelley had a habit wheu he was walking alone of suddenly breaking into a sprint at a hundred yards pace.

We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohea, etc., but few people have any idea of whut these names signify. "Pekoe" lu the dialect of Canton means "white hair," for the tea which bears this name is made from the youngest leaves, so young that the white down ls still on them. "Soochong" ln the same dialect Is a quite unpoetlc name. It merely signifies "small kind." "Flourishing spriug" is the meaning of "Hyson." "Kongo" signifies "labor." Much trouble and toil are expended in its preparation at Amoy, and these are commemorated in its name.

To Clean Bronzes, It Is not a good plan to clean bronzes, as the polish is very easily spoiled, but If necessary nothing Is better than cleaning tbem with water and ammonia, using a stiff brush like a nailbrush.

On the other hand, there Is no girl who can afford ��� from the standpoint of her looks���to wear a last year's gown unaltered. Many of ui do It, alas! though there is really little excuse for such a lamentable lack of interest In keeping up to date. After all, it ls not such a difficult matter to remodel an old gown. For the girl who can go to her modiste or tailor for renovation*, the thing ls simplicity Itself; but even the home dressmaker will find herself repaid many times over for her trouble when Hhe wears a dress that ls so rejuvenated as to prevent Its recognition as an old and true friend. Often a few simple alterations will tranrform the whole character of a gown. Usually the skirt, especially If It was wt'll cut and of late model when new, need not be touched. As a rule, the most radical changes lie ln the sleeve; If that ls refashioned and made modern and the trimmings of the blouse freshened up a bit, the entire gown will seem like new. Never has there been a season when sleeve remodeling was more necessary than this spring; and never, happily, have the possibilities of that remodeling been stronger or more easily managed. True, except in point of length��� and even now there are whlspera that the long sleeve will soon have Its Inning once more���the sleeve of 1907 ls very different from that of last year. The new shapes all tend to the Japanere or kimono effects; namely, small at the shoulder and broadening toward the elbow. As for the trimming, It literally means the sleeve itself, so befrilled and fluffy la the up-to-date arm covering. MUCH DHAPERY IS SEEN Much drapery is seen, and often combinations of several kinds of material. Take one of the so-called simple sleeves of the fancy blouse; as It falls flat from the shoulder, where It ls slightly fulled, It sp. 3ads considerably ln width to a band cuff,' over which It droops In "bell" effect. But both the sleeve and cuff are as elaborately covered with lace tucks and embroidery as the front of the waist Itself. For afternoon and evening gowns the double sleeve prevails, the outer cap matching the material of the gown. The shape of this varies. One very new form ls exactly like tho long flowing sleeve of a daughter of Japan. Another very popular model la a regular little cape, the length of which Is split to the shoulder. Even evening sleeves follow these same lines. One lace model has a long-pointed outer sleeve, twice the length of the under one. It Is on this undersleeve that the hope of the remodeler must rest. Here she can add all those new touches that will turn a hopelessly old-fashioned gown into one thoroughly erood style. The undersleeve has but one fixed rule���It must be soft and fluffy, usually transparent. The greatest liberty of material and cut Is permitted. It may be of lace, tulle, lingerie, net or of chiffon to match the gown, though the white, cream or ecru materials are prettiest. This sleeve can be tucked or puffed or be formed of a dozen little ruffles. This last Is probably the favorite form of the moment. A charming undersleeve of this kind, which would freshen the most hopelessly out-of-date gown, Is to form a puff of the thinnest kind of chiffon or net, adding to It a half dozen ruffles of two or three Inch lace, so put on as to slightly overlap. EASY TO REMODEL Take a rather full puff of last year's broadcloth afternoon gown In light color. Cut It from the band, remove some of the fulness from the top, slash It sharply up thc centre, pipe the edges with velvet or satin of a contrasting shade, drape It over one of these lace ruffled undersleeves, and you will have a thoroughly modern and easily remodeled sleeve. Instead of having this lace sleeve end as In the picture, the puff may descend a little below the last ruffle and be caught ln a twist of ribbon. A pretty French touch Is to make this twist of pale pink or blue ribbon, quite Irrespective of the trimming or color of the gown. If ono has a waist of several seasons back, with a full, baggy puff at the top, rip it out, steam and press it carefully, then Invert It and cut Into one of the new "bell"-shaped caps, put In nearly plain at the top. Trim with bias-stltched folds of the material, add a double garniture of button*, and wear over a tucked undersleeve of chiffon. The striped silk model shows a very easy and most attractive way to cut a new cap from an old sleeve. The combination of bias and horizontal stripes, with the stitched bands aj-ound the armholes, makes it possible to evolve this sleeve out of small scraps of material, as the Joining can be hidden under the stitching. The pipings of velvet and trimming of velvet buttons can be repeated on the waist with a surprisingly good effect. The undersleeve of tucked net, with a baby Irish cuff, Is very simple und easy to make. The small braid-trimmed cap of crepe de chine over a double-puffeil dotted net undersleeve shows that even the scantiest materials may be utilized. There are few old sleeves from which one could not cut such a shallow "bell"-shaped cap. If one has a lingerie or erepe de chine sleeve too small for the present- day styles, It can easily be widened with lengthwise bands of Insertion Into a very effective model of the much-trimmed sleeve of the hour. A very pretty lace sleeve to an evening gown can be made from a small, long jautt by cutting it up the middle, shirring its length Into a short mousquetaire and joining the piecing under a broad lace ruffle that outline? the bottom of the sleeve and runs to the shoulder. Or the puff can be shortened and made to appear fuller by an added ruffle of lace over the shoulder. Folds of liberty satin brought around the bottom of this sleeve crossed and fastened at the back with a chou makes a charming garniture. The old-time drooping puff can be easily reeut Into a modern double puff, with a band of braid between the puffs, If of heavy materials, or, !f of a light silk or cotton goods, it can be cut Into four rather flaring and laee-trlmmed ruffles sewed to a narrow foundation. Thc akeleton waist fashion makes feasible many recuttlngs of an old sleeve. Often, If there is not enough, to make an upper part, small straps or band.: or shield-shaped open cuffs of the dress material can be added to the blouse sleeve. Another treatment of the bell-shaped cap slashed up the centre can bt made by having each Time and Money Saving Hints A Jkere WMewL 2>y LuceJnjertim.. Ajx Inverted Skeve with. Ouffoji wriec Drapery? rjde a series of four small cape-like pieces overlapping each other about two Inches apart. Each of these pieces should be piped or trimmed with braid or Insertion. Oue old-fashioned short puff to an evening gown was given the modern long-shoulder effect by the addition of a shaped piece of the material covering the entire back of the sleeve at the elbow, brought up over the puff to cover the shoulder seam, and tapering to a rounded point at the edge of the scpiare neck. This piece was trimmed all around with a narrow accordion pleating of ribbon. A fall of lace finished the bottom of the sleeve. Even the tight coat sleeve need not cause despulr, as It can have wedge- shaped pieces Inserted, tlie seaming covered with braid or stitched folds. One Interest'ng renovation of the plain small leg 'o mutton sleeve was made by cutting out the upper part frnm the bottom nf the armhole gathers on each side, leaving sloped edges to the elbow on each side, und cut up again at the back of the arm in two narrow tubs. A rather full puff, gathered at armhole and elbow, of some extra material to mutch the gown was inserted in this opening, the edges of which were finished in double rows of stitching. Indeed, there is no end to the way tho ingenious girl can make over a last year's sleeve. Neater Than a Darn or Patch A KENT in cloth may be mended so that even tho closest observation can hardly detect It if court-plaster is used instead of thread. The goods should be laid upon a smooth, flat surface and then a pin should be firmly stuck in perpendicularly so as to bring the edges together, but not to interfere with the rent, say three-quarters of an inch away from each side. Court-plaster which hns been well moistened and allowed to stand a second or two so as to be sticky rather than wet, should be applied. It should be rubbed and pressed, pressed and rubbed, until every particle of the surface has adhered. The spot should then be pressed with a moderately hot Iron, a piece of muslin between. Finally the rent should be examined for any frayed threads, which should be clipped carefully away if discovered. No More "Stroking" of Gathers TIE monotonous, nerve-trying work of stroking gathers (or "laying" them, as It is sometimes called) may be entirely done away ���.'Ith by the following method: Use a lo *g slender needle and fine thread. Fill the needle with gathers almost aa full as It will hold. Squeeze these hard together, pressing toward the eye of the needle. When well squeezed, hold firmly ia one hand and pull with the other. When the gathers have passed from the needle, they will be found as nicely laid as If done with a pin. If the gathering has been put tn by machine (and none are nicer and more even), a little gentle pulling will make them set like hand-made gathers. Purchasing for Another Season 1 EN decry women's craze for "bargain hunting," and many are the squibs that are hurled at the heads, of the just and unjust. For "just" bargains there are, In plenty, If women only know where to find them and how to deal with them. One woman whose little daughter was always dressed* In materials that would seem beyond her mother's means, and yet were In no wise conspicuous for their elegance, managed in the following sensible way: When September came, and even ln the latter part of August, she kept an eye on the "left-overs'* in lawns or pretty prints. These could often be purchased at one-half the price of earlier in tho season, and If the quantity was a remnant, It coultl be had for a mere song. She was always careful, of course, to buy nothing that would look out of place the coming summer. If a conspicuous pattern happened to be the rage, large plaids or aggressive spots, fur Instance, she rigorously turned her liaeUtu*)on them, no matter how really cheap Oiey "might -bft���*A,.. dainty flower, a little spick, a pin stripe, or a broken, inconspicuous M plaid were always to be found, and these she bought, religiously laying out a certain amount toward next summer's supply. During the winter, having the materials at hand, the summer's sewing was done at odd times and without rush, a skirt one day, a ruffle aome cvenipg while listening to father read aloud, a pair of sleeves during some delightful a.'ternoon spent with a friend. The skirts and waists were both left without bands, so that when summer came the possible growth ot the little daughter might be taken Into consideration. As she never put the child Into very heavy dresses ln winter, depending on thicker underwear for extra warmth, she was enabled likewise to pick up some "real bargains" ln woolen goods at the end of the cold season. She never regretted the money laid out In advance, regarding it as a paying investment. Machine-Made Drawn-Work HOW many women know that they can make a good machine Imitation of drawn-work? To the busy woman this will, Indeed, prove a boon, as it can be done on any machine, without making any change of parts. In a fraction of the time required for hand-work. It makes a dainty finish for children's clothes, underwear and shirtwaists of Bilk or cotton. A belt with hems done thus, made of a remnant of black silk, was as handsome as the expensive ones on sale. To make, the edges are placed ln position. with thirty thicknesses of paper between, and stitched through. The paper is then pulled out, the narrow hems turned and stitched close to tbe edges, and the work ls done. , For Dull Scissors HAVE you ever been annoyed to find that just as you" had made up your mind to do some special piece of work your scissors seemed suddenly to have grown dull? Thla is often the case, and ls something that no one can satisfactorily explain. Anyway, the immediate remedy is very simple and Is always at hand. Open the scissors around the neck of a small bottle and work them vigorously for a few seconds, say a half dozen times. The scissors will then be found to cut Y*ry well. The glass acts as a sharpening stone, and while the edge given Is what ls known as a "wire edge," and will not hold for any large amount ot work. It certainly ls a great convenience and will last for two or three days sometimes. To Adjust Gatlierj__^_-��� WHEN gatl.edng^4)jrf_hinB to go la a bam_���or the top or lower .edge of a sleeve, rim two rows of thread and draw them from opposite . eHr.ciiiuis. It will be found almost as effective in arranging the gathers a�� "brushing" them. PAm^xwamm DID you ever go to boarding school? If you did, you know who was, for the time being, the most popular girl ln the dormitories; It was she who had a birthday���therefore a box from home. Oh, those home goodies! A well- fllled Jewel casket ln after life gives not half the joy that comes to a schoolgirl with a homely wooden box filled to overflowing with cakes, big and little, fudge, tarts and���bliss ot bliss���fat, green pickles! Especially if such luxuries are forbidden ��� If sweets are tabooed, if ooxes must be smuggled and midnight spreads be held in deadly fear of a sudden raid of a disapproving teacher���ls that joy enhanced. While girls are girls, and home boxes are home boxes, the girls will bave the boxes despite rules, and teachers might as well make the best of It. There was once a very clever woman who was principal of a large boarding school for girls. She was known far and wide as a rigid disciplinarian. She was privileged to write an Imposing string of degrees after her name, but she had not forgotten her own youth. One day her head teacher came to her with the report that mice wero ���verrunning the dormitories. The Sirls were in the habit of receiving ampers and boxes from home, and all that remained from the first spread, that was always In order as soon as the hamper was opened, was stowed away ln a convenient place for future use. Wardrobes and bureau drawers had more than their share of crumbs; jellle* and marmalades got upset -*--*>.onally, and the olague of mice was on the Increase. "iou give the girls plepty of good, wholesome food, Miss W���" the lady concluded, "why not forbid anything being sent frop_ home?" "Most of my life has .een spent In a boarding school, either as pupil or teacher," said Miss W��� shaking her head, "and I kne��� that nothing ever takes the place of the school hamper ���tuck boxes we call then in England, you know. I cannot forbid my girls their supply of home goodies, neither can I risk following In the footsteps of the Bishop of Bingcn. I must think of some way of meeting the difficulty." That very day she sent for a carpenter, and In a short time a pantry was built in the dermltories. The key was put ln charge of the school housekeeper, who saw that the door was kept locked until 3 o'clock ln the afternoon, when the dinner hour was comfortably past. Between 3 and 9 the key was left In the lock, and tho girls were at liberty to help themselves to their stores. Miss W.'s Interest did not end here. She called a little meeting of her girls and made some suggestions about the contents of future hamnera and the methods of packing them. Often provisions arrived In bad order, glare was broken, soft cakes anil tarts were smeared over other articles, and all of this might be avoided with a little care. She suggested that preserves and dainties of a li..e nature would best be sent in small jars with screw tops. These tiny jars hold Jur.t enough for one feast, and there is no danger of a little being left to "work" or mould. The same rule applied to olives, pic. les and the cream cheeses that are dear to the heart of every schoolgirl. In packing these jars safety requires that each_ one should be wrapped in several layers of soft paper and that more soft paper should be stuffed In every possible crevice and corner, thus making it Impossible for them to be displaced. Crackers ought to go ln their own Eackages. Home-made candy Is better oxed, and the thoughtful housemother will save all the discarded candy boxes in the family In anticipation of just such occasions. Pie is a favorite delicacy with most school children, but big pies rarely arrive at the end of a railroad Journey ln good condition. Instead make little pies, or "turnovers," for the school hamper. Wrap each one ln oiled paper and put them on thc thin wooden plaques which come for the purpose at a trifling cost. If possible, pack the pies In a Hat pasteboard box. If you cannot get a box of the proper kind, put a plentiful supply ��eeeirin.fa Box from. Home. at tissue paper between the pie and the other contents of the hamper, and pack It at a safe distance from anything that might be spoiled by dripping syrups. All layer and soft cakes travel best in tin. The Icing must be perfectly hard before packing. Instead of putting it on a plate, which is heavy and makes extra exprcssage, ice thc cake on a flat square of stiff pasteboard, or on a tin sheet of exactly the right size. Wrap the cake with oiled paper, and set It on folded strips of heavy paper which reach well up beyond the sides of the box. This enables the cake to be easily lifted out. Pack tissue paper tightly around It to prevent moving. Small cakes ure really better for the school hamper than loaf cake, though, perhaps, tliey do not keep fresh aa long. Bake gingerbread, chocolate, cup and sponge cakes ln small muffin pans. Sandtarts, ginger snaps, jumbles and cookies always make acceptable contributions. Bread ts not supposed to be particularly dear to young appetites, but sometimes a homesick youngster has a yearnlni. for some special brand of home roll or biscuit, or even for a Itnif of homemade bread. All these travel comfortably In a clean flour sack. Fudge is beloved by young antl old, and almost every family has its own cherished recipe. Be sure that It Is cooked enough and beaten so that It Is smooth nnd not sticky. Or, why not add to the school hamper the necessary materials for making It? f6r the average school boasts more than one chafing dish among its inmates. Chocolate and suga.- are easily packed. A tiny bottle of vanilla, well wrapped ln paper, will travel safely In an odd corner. Small pats of butter wrapped ln the thin pieces of cheesecloth that are familiar to any one who has ever poked around a dairy will remain Intact if packed ln a tin box or one of the small Jars with a screw top that come filled with marmalade Or cheese. A veal loaf Is sure to arouse much. enthusiasm. Wrap It carefully In oiled paper and pack ln a long, narrow box that exactly flta It. Deviled eggs���provided the distance is not too great and the weather too warm���carry well If the halves are Joined again after stuffing and the whole egg wrapped In oiled paper. Pack them in an airtight *'p eandy box. Where there ls no prejudice against canned goods, sardines and potted meat* make a nice addition to the hamper's store. Get the smallest cans possible, however, and warn the youthful recipients ugainst leaving anything In the can for "next time. Carelessness in this respect is nt the root of many an illness from "eating canned goods." Nuts, in bags or boxes, make good travelers. Apples, figs, dates and pear* are to be recommended. Unless the distance is short, avoid sending oranges and lemons. When they are sent, wrap each one in tissue paper. Provide the hamper with an Inexpensive knife and spoon as well as wlttl food. There is a charm about eating aa olive from the end of a hatpin, but the snme instrument has Its inconveniences when used as a butter spread or a cake knife. %**&^&**GMr teat Bank CAPITAL ALL PAID UP. $14,000,000.
