KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
OPEN NATIONAL MEET
BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 5. Preceded
by a pontifical high mass celebrated
in the Cathedral of . the Holy Cross,
the annual national convention of the
Knights of Columbus was opened here
today. Hundreds of delegates and
visitors from all parts of the United
States and Canada were in attendance.
The convention entered upon its bus
iness session this afternoon.
One of the most interesting matters
to be taken up by the convention is
the question of making a thorough in
vestigation into conflicting claims
about the present resting place of the
remains of Christopher Columbus. The
proposal is to be introduced by dele
gates from Washington, D. C, acting
on the suggestion of Senator Ransdell,
of Louisiana, who is of the belief that
. the remains of Columbus never were
removed to Spain, as is the common
supposition, but that they still rest
in the cathedral at Santo Domingo.

Cookery
points
Preserving Day Don'ts.
Don't attempt to put up anything
by guesswork. Preserves, jellies and
pickles all require exact measurements
to be perfect. Every fruit needs its
own time for cooking. Get a preserv
ing and pickling book and follow the
directions to a "t," or, better still, ask
the good housekeepers you know for
their recipes and write them down
word for word. ,
Don't think that you can put up a
large quantity of fruit as easily as you
can a small one, however experienced
you are. There is a deal of standing
to do, and interest flags when the body
is weary. Much good fruit is spoiled
on preserving and canning day because
it was put up wheu the housekeeper
had reached the listless and exhausted
stage.
Don't think that you can be econom
ical with sugar when preserves and
jellies are in hand, for you will find
this a great mistake. In the first
place, fruit stinted of sweetness sel
dom keeps, and, in the second place, it
has no taste. Jelly will not, "jell" if
the fruit juice and sugar are not meas
ured exactly according to directions.
But sometimes the jellying process is
delayed for some reason or other even
when there is enough sugar, in this
event put the jelly in the sunshine for
a little while, where the action of the
bright light will produce the desired
change.
Don't think that you can be entirely
successful in all your canning, pre
serving and pickling if you have only
makeshift tools. Proper implements
save time, and they are more likely to
bring success. The utensils needed for
a good batch of work are a preserving
kettle, well cleaned and dried jars,
several jelly bags (half of cheesecloth
and half of flannel), two or more
square pieces of flannel, a long handled
spoon, a colander, a puree sieve, two or
three large bowls, a ladle, a pair of
scales, a quart, pint and gill measure
and perhaps a canuer.
Don't think if your family is small
that you must use quart jars. As all
of the fruit cannot be eaten upat once,
it is a deal more sensible to put it into
pint jars. Jelly and jam tumblers do
not need to match, and for sealing
these up paraffin candles can be melted
down and the hot wax poured over the
fruit. But this is only a makeshift de
vice for the amateur practicing with a
little fruit for the paraffin sold by the
pound is better for. the purpose. Wash
the candle off if they are to be used
and strain the" melted wax. Have
about a quarter of an inch of the wax
at the top of the fruit and seal up the
"practice" tumblers with letter paper
put on with white of egg.
Dou't think that because you haven't;
got a regulation boiler for your fruit
jars your nice things will spoil in the
making. Any wash boiler, can be used,
but the water must never come up to
the top of the jars.. and they must
stand on something while the boiling
Is going on or they will break. Spread
the boltom of the wash boiler with
hay or straw or cover it with four or
five layers of newspaper; then put over
the covering some weight or other to
keep it down. The jars should be at
least two inches under water, and if
bottles are boiled the water should
reach one inch below the cork. ' After
the jars are in the wash boiler pour the
water in cold-rand place the boiler on
the stove, where It will come to a slow
boil.
Don't forget that the time for boiling
depends entirely upon the fruit, and If
you have lost the recipes piu this mem
orandum up In the kitchen: Peaches
should boil from twenty to thirty min
utes; ripe pars (Bartlett). about thirty
five minutes; plums, fifteen minutes;
apricots, twenty minutes; pineapples,
forty-five minutes; berries of all sorts,
five minutes; cherries, five or ten min
utes; quinces, about twenty-five min
utes Don't forget that when the time fpr
boiling Is uu the Jars should be ie-
movea rrom tne water ana ei npsiae
down to cool; also see that they are set
on a dry table and not on a wet one,
for the least drop of cold water will
crack the jars. .
Don't forget to fill up the slack jars
with hot sirup as soon as they are
tukeu from the bath; then close them
at once, turuing each one upside down
when the top is tight. '
Don't forget when canning vegeta
bles that the same filling up of slack
jars is made with boiling water, but
that the jar must'be at once sealed and
boiled again for five or ten minutes.
Don't forget when the jars are cold
to examine each one and to see If it is
nir tight; then. If all is well, wipe the
jars off with a clean wet cloth and set
them at once in a cold, dry place.
Don't forget that the good grocery
stues pay a fancy price for first class
homemade products of any sort. The
labels must lie written out by band on
neatly cut slis of letter paper. This
gives the home look, and If the real
home taste if inside the jar the grocer
will take the batch, however small or
big it is.
Fried Summer Squash.
Take three or four small and tender
summer squashes crookneeks are the
best. Cut in slices about half an inch
thick, take out the seeds and boil them
half an hour or until tender In slightly
salted water. When done fry them In
butter to a dfli-tite hrown.
HOME.
Cling to Mag home! If there the
meanest shed
Yield thee a hearth and shelter
for thy bead.
And some poor plot, with vege
tables stored.
Be all that heaven allots thee for
thy board
Unsavory bread and herb3 that,
scattered, grow
Wild on the river brink or moun
tain brow.
Yet e'en this cheerless mansion
shall provide
More heart's repose than all the
world beside.
Leonidas.
Happy the man whose wish and
care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground.
Pope.
An exile from home, splendor
1 dazzles in vain. -Oh,"
give me my lowly thatched
college again!
The birds singing gayly that
came at my call
Give me them and the peace of
mind dearer than all

FIGURES OF SPEECH.
Just Suppose For a Moment That They
All Turned to Facts.
No situation is more difficult to deal
with than that In which a figure of
speech becomes a fact 1 mean that
when we have been using a phrase
truly, but in its general and metaphor
ical sense, we are rather embarrassed
than otherwise if we find that it is
true, even in its strict and literal sense.
There does not seem to be anything
more to say.. Suppose you beard a
family remark casually. "It's madness
in papa to go to Norway!" And sup
pose the next instant papa sprang into
the room through a smashed window,
with straws in his hair and a carving
knife and. howled aloud: "Ubbubboo!
I. C. S. An Ethical Power
Now, gentlement, just for a -moment, 1 would speak to you, not as
an educationalist, but as a preacher of manhood and a lover of his
kind. The question of the use of alchohol by the student when study
ing, has carried me back to the thought. The International Correspond
ence Schools are not simply educational, they are ethical; they not
only make foremen and craftsmen and draftsmen, but - they mak
MEN in capital letters. For you can never awaken any one to his
commercial possibilities without stirring up" all other possibilities so
cial, patriotic, philanthropic, intellectual, moral. The moment you suc
ceed breaking up one area of inertia you set vibration moving -through
every part of the being and all kinds of dormant and stagnant powers
are set into healthy motion. When a man's mind gets engrossed with
an intellectual occupation and he finds that he has a grip upon the
laws -and forces of the universe, the saloon, the vulgar and degrading
suow, the curb-stone loafing, and the hours of inane and ribald waste
all seem to be unworthy of him an his self-respect clothes him in a
protective armor which helps to keep his entire manhood inviolate. A
great American preacher used to speak much about "the expulsive pow
er of a new affection," and, having 'as your life work the duty of both
supplying and developing this "new affection" the love cf the best, by
which the unworthy and base will be expelled, perhaps unconsciously
but surely, from many and many a man. Success to you in your work!
The Trained Man Never Worries
When the chiefs put their heads together to hire or "fire," the
trained man doesn't worry. He knows that there is always a place for
him. . '
You can look your job and every man in the face if you possess the
training so much in demand everywhere today. The International
Correspondence Scuools will go to you in your spare time, whereever
you live, and will train you to become an expert in your chosen line
of work. Such a training will forever take you off the "anxious" seat.
It costs you nothing to find how the I. C. S. can -help you. Mark

how you can earn more money in the occupation of your own choice.

Nice For the Lady.
Quite regularly a - certain- London
school teacher invited two miserable
little girls to spend Saturday afternoon
at her house. Knowing how overbur
dened with work the mother was and
how much the children's moral educa

ment worker ventured to congratulate
the parent'.
"What a great advantage for them!"
she said. "How exceedingly kind of
her!"
"No doubt she's glad of conm'try,"
complacently returned the mother.

The Use of English.
Of the 80,000 English words avail
able for conversation purposes only
400 are said to be in common use. If
these were carefully selected there
would be little cause for complaint
since the combinations they make
possible should provide innumerable
shades of variation. Careful word se
lection is something that should be en
couraged in and out of the schools.

Many stories were told about John
Bright's caustic repartees in private
life. This story, says, the British
Weekly, is true:
"I should like to come back to this
world in fifty years to see what
changes have happened in England,"
said a gentleman to Mr. Bright
"My good sir," - replied Mr. Bright
"if you don't mend your ways you
may be glad of any excuse to come
back."

MOTHER-OF-PEARL
Diffraction Grating Causes Its Beauti
ful Iridescence.
The apparent color of mother-of-pearl
was for a long time somewhat
of a puzzle to scientists. Later it was
found that the surface of mother-of-pearl
consisted of fine striations or
ridges, with, of course, little hollows
between. This explained everything,
for it was then to the scientists noth
ing more or less tban an ordinary dif
fraction grating. To prove it still fur
ther an impression of the surface was
taken in black wax. and the wax it
self exhibited the beautiful display of
color shown in the original mother-of-pearl
surface. The color is not due to
pigment, but to the cancellation In part
of the light falling on the surface.
To understand this better it will be
well to explain a diffraction grating.
It consists of a piece of plate glass
upon which are engraved many paral

As white light, or sunlight, consists
of every color kuown and as light
travels in waves, at certain places if
light Is coming from several different
directions very close to one another
some of these waves will meet in what
are known as opposite phases and will
blot one another out and the only re
maining color will be the white."
It can be easily seen what is meant
by opposing phases from a considera
tion of waves on the seashore. If the
top of a big wave meets a trough of
another they cancel, and no wave at all
is the result. The same takes place in
light phenomena. Light consists of an
ether wave, similar to wireless waves,
only much shorter, and if its wave is
destroyed none of that light can be
seen by the eye.
