I never buy new window shades s
long as the rollers are in good work

cf, an head cloth (this is for the ord-
inary -sized y -sized window) for each shade.
The cloth I use is aG inches wide, very
durable, and lasts for years. I hem
the bottom, starch stili, ,and iron.
Then I tack to roller, and I have a
new shade better than the commercial
variety. When soiled, I wash, starch,
and iron again. Of course, they may
be dyed any shade,
Wherever there are children or
careless servants, there will beibroken
dishes. I have my share of them. 1
have had many souvenirs and keep-
sakes, glass, delicate china, and so on,
broken --things that 1 could not afford
to, or would not, throw away. I tried
all sorts of bottled and caked cements,
etc,, but not one of them gave satis-
faction, especially if the dish or other
article was afterward placed in hot
water. I experimented until finally I
found a mixture that gave absolute
satisfaction. So now when a dish is
broken I mix one-half ounce gum
arabic with a teaspoonful of boiling
milk, adding enough plaster of Paris
to make a paste. I have the broken
pieces that are to be mended warm,
then apply the paste with a soft
brush. When set aside three or four
days, either hot or cold water can be
used on the dish with impunity.
Whenever I pack away woollen
blankets and winter clothing, I keep
away all musty odors by sprinkling
there with this sweet-smelling mix-
ture: One ounce each of powdered
cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, tonca
beans, caraway, and mace. Add to
this six ounces of powdered orris root.
Thea make little cheesecloth sachet
bags, fill them with the mixture and.
place in the folds of the blankets or
clothing.
When doing dirty work I find that
an oilcloth apron saves much wash-
ing. They can be bought made up,
but are easily made of white or small
checked oilcloth, and bound around
with tape.
If you have the misfortune to spill
ink on the floor or on cloth, dry up
all the ink you can with waste cloth
or blotting paper, then dampen the
place with water and cover well with
common baking soda. After letting
it stand for two or three hours,. you
will find, that all traces of ink- are
gone.
Inside of my pantry door I have
two ordinary file hooks. On these I
hang paper bags that I wish to save
for future use, hanging them by the
upper a\sii so there will be no hole in
the bags. One hook is for the large
bags, the other for the smaller ones.
They are always ready for use, and
take up little room.
I have easy -running casters put on
all my furniture that has to be moved
often. Having them on the kitchen
table has helped much in saving steps,
since the table may be moved where
most needed at the time.
Try covering your kitchen table
with zinc and see how much labor is
saved. The zinc is not easily kept
clean, but hot cooking vessels may be
set on it without harm. If spots get
on the zinc that water doesn't remove,
use a little kerosene on them.
I never am bothered by having
corks adhering to the glue, medicine,
or other bottles—I always rub the
cork well with vaseline or olive oil.
Keep a piece of sandpaper handy
in the kitchen, and use it instead of
a spoon or knife to remove burned
food from enameled pans and kettles,
it will not injure the enamel. Vinegar
is fine for cleaning white enamel ves-
sels, and keeps them from getting a
dirty color. Steel wool is good for
aluminum. Use the finest kind.
When silverware becomes tarnished
I soak ,it in sour buttermilk for
twenty-four hours, and it comes out
looking like new. This is fine 'also
for zinc fruit -jar tops when they get
dingy. Always wash in. 'warm soap-
suds, and dry well.
When pouring salt, pepper, and
uch like into the shakers or holders,
use a funnel made front the cut end
of an envelope, cutting a hole in the
orner; the envelope should be sealed
rip before the end is cut off. This
snakes a good emergency funnel for
other things as well.
I find the graters easily cleaned if
use a stiff vegetable brush. These
small brushes are bandy for a number
of things,
I made a neat -appearing and ser-
viceable waste paper basket for the
kitchen from a tall slat fruit basket
stained a dull color. Also a nice one
can be made of same material by
'covering with washable wall paper to
match the walls of the room.
I never fail to add a !few drape of
turpentine to the water with which
my floors and woodwork are to be
scrubbed—it makes the room smell
like new pine, fresh front the woods.
My floor is covered with a good
grade of linbleurn, and 'to save wear
and keep it looking nice I go over it
once a 'week with a water -glass solu-
tion, the sante as you use for putting
down eggs for winter use; then I give

Salt Rising Bread.
Viewed from the standpoint . of
economy there is no bread made to-
day that equals the old-fashioned
salt -rising 'bread of our grandmoth-
er's day. With a starter, or "risin's,"
as grandma used to say, made of corn
meal or graham, as it always used
to :be, the bread is very dark, hut • I1
find that by- using wheat flour for the;
starter the bread is as white as yeast;
bread. Simply flour, water, salt and
a pinch each of soda and ginger are!
the ,ingredients used, thereby elimin-
ating the sugar, yeast and shortening
required for yeast bread, Quitent
saving, I find.
To make, scald a quart bowl suSt1
spoon, empty,out water, fiil:rbalf full
of water that is very warni, but not
hot, and add one teaspoon of salt,
a pinch each of soda and ginger, stir-
ring to the thickness of pancake bat-
ter with wheat flour, Sift flour over
the top, cover tight, and put in dish
containing quite warm water, setting
in fireless cooker over night. Or,
lacking this, set on a warm soapstone
over night, covering with a warm
blanket. When made with wheat
flour it takes the starter from twelve'
to twenty hours to get light, but the
warmer it is kept, without scalding,
the quicker it will get light. When
the batter- is all foamy and of an odor
that declares to the nostrils that it is
surely fermented, .it is ready to use.
To one quart of very warm, not
scalding, water add one tablespoon
of salt and 'stir to a thick batter with
wheat flour, stirring in the starter
last. Sprinkle flour over the top, keep
warm and it will soon rise. When
light mix at once into loaves and
when they have risen till they are
double in size, bake the sante length.
of time as yeast bread.
The secret ofu -
success with salt
rising bread lies in the thorough
sterilization of alltitensils used, clean
sweet materials and a uniform
amount of heat at all times. This
amount makes five large loaves.
Worker and Money..
\V tey consistently ttnd persistcit•

ters oursalve,- and to show our em-
ployees the value of their` having a
right attitude toward finarreo's as welt"
'1`ile employer of e. large industrial
concern was telling me why he had
met with no labor troubles over a long
period of years, says B. A. Hunger-
ford h the Thrift Magazine.
"Ibis concern, he continued, "is
built on the basis of coining out ahead,
not just breaking evert, or operating
at a loss. Therefore we expect our
employees to make goed with •us only
if they are able to conduct their own..
Infancy 'tatters on the corning -out -
ahead basis. They must do more than
it
i live within their 'neons, They must
save something. It is a fundamental
basis of their own success in life as
' well as their being a satisfactory
Iworker' in our business,"
"How did you come to adopt such
a policy?" I asked,
' We got the idea from Paul the
Apostle. He was among other things
a man of learning, au Organizer, a
remanufacturer, teacher, orator and
writer. After several .years of knock-
ing around most of the then known
world, being all things to all men, he
got a pretty fair idea of human na-
ture. He came to the conelusion that
the love of money, in other -words, a
^ vrong attitude towards it, was the
root of all evil. This being the ease,
we took it for granted that a right at-
titude toward money on the part of
the members of a business organiza-
tion ought to be the root of a whole
lot of good.
"So we began to emphasize straight
thinking about money matters as a
primary qualification of those who ap-
plied for work with us. Our theory
is that if a man is thinking straight
and acting wisely about his finances
in the realms of earning, spending,
saving, investing and giving, he is al-
most sure to make an honest, indus-
trious, loyal member of our organiza-
tion—one that we can bo proud of and
advance consistently toward the top."
"Does the theory work out fully in.
practice?" was my next question,
"Absolutely l" he exclaimed, '"Very
soon after we started on this basis,
there was a noticeable improvement
in. the spirit among our employees
from the water boy to the general
manager, and I have tried to practice
straight thinking on money matters
ne elf. Nearly every one in the en-
tire organization has gained a greater
appreciation of the point of view of
others. We
have become interested
in learning and applying simple, sound
and practical economic doctrines. Our
former differences between so-called
capital and labor have disappeared,"
Adverse Exchange and
Production.
The fiucatuating rate of exchange, in-
convenient as it may be, is on the,
whole an accurate barometer of the
international trade situation. A dol-
lar bill is only a promise to pay and
is valueless . unless redeemable. Gold,
however, is not the only commodity
with which it can be honored. It can
be redeemed. with wheat, pulp, paper,
lumber, fish, coal, anything at all of
which the country issuing the note
produces a surplus for export. The
way to right adverse exchange is to
speed up production, so that we can
pay for all the goods imported with
othet goods exported. Retrenchment,
that is, cutting down expenditure on
unnecessary articles of luxury, will
help.
Deaf Prince Cured by
English - Doctor.
The sense of hearing. has been
brought back to Prince Jaime, the
second son of the King and Queen of
Spain, who has been stone deaf since
birth, by Dr. Johnston May, an Eng-
lishman who calls himself an anatomi-
cal adjuster, who has succeeded where
some of the greatest medical special-
ists of the world have failed.
Dr. May has hands abnormaily`long
and acutely sensitive. Watch his
fingers, says the Daily Express repre-
sentative, and they are never stili.
They quiver constantly. It is these
hands he uses for Ms diagnosis. They
tell what is wrong with the patient.
They ars more to him than the stet-
hoscope and instruments .to the doc-
tor. Dr. May says himself that he
can almost smell with them. He told
how he put the boy prince on the high-
way to normal health,
The real trouble with the prince
was the displacement of the atlas and
axis bones of the neck before birth,
His hip, too, slightly tilted, through
the spine affected the neck. These
displacements caused pressure on the
nerves connected with the ear, Mak-
ing
ak
ing the boy completely and absplutely
deaf.
Dr. 14Iay ,first reset the displaced
bones. He is now treating the mus-
cles of the neck to -bring them hack
to normal.
The bey was not .dumb. He had
been taught lip reading, but the tones
of his voice were without inflection.
Two_ days- after the bones were reset
he heard the music of an opera. He
can now distinguish voices. The doc-
tor declares that a; the functions of
his ear develop his 'hearing will be-
come more, and more acute.. Ile sees
no reason why he should not be abso-
lutely sound in a year or so.

The Japs continue to conte to the

now announced that the aerial arm

Tremendous Energy of the
- Sea to be Harnessed For
Use of Mankind,
The wizard Edison, on a recent
~
voyage to Eriopa,watched hour after
hour the movements• of the great:
transatlantic liner as she tossed up
and down on the billows, It made
him nervous to see so much power
going to waste. "Sone day," hie said,
"I am going to try to harness this tre-
mendous energy. Wlien that prob-
lem is solved the millennium of elec.
trtcity will have arrived."
Many inventors have already tack-
led this puzzle, but a practical solu-
tion of it seems to -day as far off as
ever. Nearest to a success was the
experiment of a San Francisco man,
backed by Sutro, the engineer of Com-
stock tunnel fame. The machine was
anchored out in the ocoan, not far
from shore, and was used to pump
water to the top of a bluff 200 feet
high. Unfortunately, a storm came
and destroyed the apparatus, so dis-
couraging the promoters of the scheme
that they dropped it.
Wave motors usually depend upon
floats, •which by sae means or ancther
drive engines. The contrivance of
one inventor employs air -tight floats
lined with metal, and, in connce.ticn
with them, huge eileader-and-piston
pumps, which force water info the
tanks, thereby compressing the air in-
side them. The compresscd air
causes a wheel to revolve, which.
operate., a dynamo and generates
electricity.
The clynaino is co,.:c t .1 by w rci
with a station on shoe and it is
claimed that ono mat -bine of the kind
described will in average weather
transmit 140 continu:;ni lrorsceawer
working clay and night. The current
may be used for running any kind of
machinery or even to rperate a trolley
along the beach. Inasnmeh as the
ocean is never entirely taint; we have
perpetual motion realized.
Such floating apparatus might be
anchored at intervals all along the
coast in ,suitable lcca.l_t:es; and, fsatp-
posing them to work satisfecrof i e
factories might be t ansferrc:i ad,...--
tageously from cities to the marine
littoral, where they :soul' obia:n
power almost free of cost.rig.
storms threatened they could
fuge in harbors and inlets.
Utilize Vast Wasted Energy.
Another inventor has pateutcd are
arrangement by which the rolling and
pitching of a ship is made to operate
a number of air -pumps that force air
into reservoirs. From the latter the•
compressed air is conducted b:: pipes
to engines for propelling the vessel
and to generate electricity for light-
ing and other purposes. -
Yet another genius proposes to swing
from the mast of a ship a gigantic
pendulum, the oscillations of which
are expected to drive the propellor.
Some of these ideas may seem ab-
surd, but it should be remembered
that until very recently ridicule was
the only tribute paid to inventors of
flying machines. Yet navigation of
the air is at last an accomplished fact,
and it seems not unreasonable to sap -
pose that some day the great power-
house of the sea, whose inealculahie
stores of energy now go wholly to
waste, will be drawn upon for the use
and benefit of mankind.
In a rough sea the waves may -be
ten feet high; in a big storm they may
reach fifty feet, which is about the
limit. They may run sixty miles an
hour, or even faster. A wave thirty
feet high contains many thousands of
tons of water, and the tremendous
force it develops may be judged by
the destruction it causes when •it
dashes against structures that are not
of extraordinary strength. It may
throw itself to a height of 100 feet or
more on the face of a cliff.
The notion that a wave is a body of
water moving along—a' wave, that is
to say, on the surface of the ocean—
is incorrect. The billow we observe
at a distance and watch until it reach-
es and passes us is not the same body
of water in different places. A wave
is a motion, not a mass. in movement
of translation.
