    IT IS A REMARKABLE BOAT.
Can Ball Aicalimt Any Wind and In
Nix Inches of Water.
There Is on Luke Wntin, In this
county, one of tlie most peculiar boats
In the country. It will not do to call It
a sallliont, says the St. I'uul Pioneer
Prexs, for, although it Is driven by
the wind, It lias no sails. Tho term
stern-wheeler Is somewhat a misnomer,
for that name Indicates something by
steam, or gasoline, neither of which
this strange boat uses.
The machinery consists of a -windmill,
set up In the center of the bout,
the wheel of the mill being connected
with the shaft on which the wheel that
drives the boat Is hung at the stern,
and when the wind blows and drives
the windmill around the windmill
turns the paddle wheel at the back
of the boat and she moves forward
through the water.
The boat Is made with a flat bottom
and Is quite wide, so that It draws
only a few Inches of water, and Inas
much as there Is no propeller to be
come tangled In weeds beneath tho
surface, the boat can sail over the
water anywhere where It Is 8lx Inches
deep, and Is therefore In great demand
when the season for gathering water
lilies arrives.
The windmill Is so adjusted that the
power it gives to turn the paddle
wheel Is far In excess of the resistance
the boat offers to the pressure of the
air upon it, and the boat therefore
moves easily forward, directly against
the wind, although driven by the pow
er of the wind alone.
This makes it very convenient to
use, for although it is, in reality, a sail
boat, there Is never any danger of Its
getting caught against a lee shore
and being unable fo get away. All
the helmsman has to do Is to turn the
prow directly into the wind and con
nect the power, and away she goes,
skipping over the water as lightly as a
bird upon the wing.
Theodore Pettman, of Wheatley, Is
the maker and owner of the boat, and
lie has hadso many orders for dupli
cation of it that he is liable to go into
the manufacture of others like It
Defend Jew.
"It Is ignorance and race prejudice
that lead Immigration restrlctlonlsts to
classify Jewish immigrants among tlw
undesirable," declared a Chicago
banker of the race. "There Is no such
thing as a grave Jewish problem in
. this country. Statistics show that the
accession of hundreds of thousands of
'Ignorant' and 'Russian' Jews by im
migration in recent years has not bur
dened the rich Jews. On the contrary,
it has helped to make them and the
country as well richer and more pros
perous. As to the differences between
the liberal Americanized Jews and the
newly arrived orthodox Jews there Is
nothing to be exercised over. For
brethren to quarrel occasionally is but
natural. ' But no matter how bitter
the attack of the orthodox Jew on the
liberalized Jew, the tenets of strict
orthodox Judaism command that all
differences between Jew and Jew
must be forgiven and forgotten on
the eve of Atonement day. No scene
can be more Impressive than that in
Jewish homes and in orthodox syna
gogues on the eve of Kol Nldre, when
those who have happened to quarrel
during the year tearfully extend the
hands to one another, earnestly pray
ing forgiveness."
An article published in a newspaper
of Hungary recently led to thirteen
duels, in all of which members of the

The housewife who is on the look
out for something new to tempt the
appetites of her family should try
some egg timbales, for breakfast. To
prepare these, break open four eggs
into a bowl, add half a teaspoonful of
salt, a saltspoonful of pepper, and, If
liked, a few drops of onion sauce.
Beat only until thoroughly blended,
then add gradually a cup of rich new
milk. Divide equally among six well
buttered timbale molds (common cups
will serve the purpose). Stand them
in a pan half filled with hot water
and bake in a moderate oven about
twenty minutes, or until firm to the
touch. Turn out carefully on a heat
ed platter and pour around some bread
sauce.

flour. Do not use the hands. When

mixing It with a fork. - Turn upon a

The singing teacher was visiting the
school, and as this was an important
event in the district, the pupils had
been instructed to 'memorize a verse
or two to recite for the entertainment
of the visitor.
During he delivery of his lines, one
small boy was especially noticeable
for the action with which he accom
panied his words; so much so that the
teacher, surprised at his efforts, com
mended him highly on the ease with
which he spoke and the apparent prac
tice which he must have put on the
