With the approach of commencement
day the all-Important question which
cornea to the gn.duate la. "What ahall I
wear?" The self-sustaining undergradu
ate facea a mo.e dimcult and serious
problem, "How can I aupport myself
through the vacation and lay aside some
thing toward my expenses for next term?'
The young wo.ii.hi who la determined to
work her way through the four-year col
lege course regards the summer vacation
aa a veritable harvest time, with dollars
for her crop. From the middle of June
until the middle of September she executes
those little triumphs of Ingenuity which
pare the way for nine months more at her
beloved Institution of learning. If she Is
wise aa well aa Ingenious, ahe haa her
plana made before the college doors shut
for the vacation p.-rlod.
Naturally, she .irst turns her attention
to llnea of work in which she can make
use of the learning acquired during the
last term. One of the moat popular means
Of raising funds Is "coaching" students In
tha same college who have been "condi
tioned" or have failed utterly In their ex
aminations. Strangely enough, the ma
jority of these mimmer pupils are not
drawn from the homes of the wealthy;
they are not girls whoae Intereat In social
matters haa interfered with their work,
but children of co.lege professors and edu
cationists. Juat as the sons of Industrial
magnates frequently develop Into most Ir
responsible buslnc-s men, so the children
of very learned men show a singular In
aptitude for the arts and science.
The member of a college or school faculty
whose daughter haa failed or been "con
ditioned" feels personally disgraced, and
will make almost any sacrifice to have her
properly coached during the summer. He
doea not coach her himself for two rcasona
-first, because she may have failed In a
branch remotely removed from the line he
teaches; and, second, because the atudent
. who haa Just passed the examinations in
which his daughter failed la up-to-date on
tha topic and posted on "trick" questions.
A Class of Conditioned Stadents.
A New England girl haa doubly solved
the problem of summer employment by us
ing both her newly acquired stock of learn
ing and her ancestral farm. The latter la
a picturesque but barren hillside In the
heart of the Berkshlres with an old-fashioned,
rambling house. Here she gathered
tha members of her summer class for a
month's work, combined delightfully with
outdoor life. Her mother acted as chap
eron and was a capable housekeeper for
the family of eight. A neighbor's boy did
the rough work and tended the garden,
which supplied fresh fruit and vegetables
for tha table.
Borne of the pupils had their cycles, and
horses could be hired at reasonable rates
from neighboring farmers. Fishing end
boating were enjoyed on a pond at the
foot of the hill,- and the woods abounded
In wild berries and "specimens." Certain
hour were aet aside for studying and
coaching, and nothing was allowed to In
terfere with the work, though Lenox was
enticingly near.
When the first month was over several
cf the glrla decided to remain longer and
were Joined by other friends, and, thaugh
"coaching" was abandoned, mother and
daughter made a substantial sum from
their summer boarders. This year they
will conduct the summer school on a larger
scale, and the farm .which hitherto had
grudgingly yielded enough to pay the taxea
will now help to put the girl through col
lie. ,
Camplag la th Woods.
Frequently girls of small Incomes club
togetner and camp out In the woods of
Maine or other picturesque sections of
New England, living an outdoor life at an
extremely low figure, and gaining strength
to take up "coaching" during the opening
months of the school term. Even a chap
eron la dispensed with by thea strictly
modern camping parties, and they live aa
simply and frugally as men do under
similar circumstance.
But the average self-sustaining college
u-l la not satisfied with merely saving her
funds earned during the rest of the year,
and storing up strength to renew the light
She Wants to see a weekly stipend coming
In, and if anyone la willing to pay for the
pleasure of her company during the sum
mer she Is quite willing to play the part
of companion.
Busy, wealthy parents who desire their
children to expand mentally and physi
cal during tho summer vacation, and per
haps to work on lines denied to them dur
ing their childhood, prefer a college girl
to a French governess during the summer.
The French governess seldom gets beyond
book covers.
Worklig for a Millionaire.
A Wellesley girl In search of eummel
employment was requested by a mutual
acquaintance to call upon a millionaire
noted for his Iron-clad business methods
and a heart which was supposed to be as
hard. Aa ahe entered his offloe he curtly
dismissed his stcuographar and turned ti"
his caller, saying:
"Driving down to the station thia morn
ing with my little girl, a leaf dropped Intc
our carriage. It had on the under side
some queer little red things, like tiny eggs
rough to the touch. What were they?"
ins couege gin explained the larvae
described, and the man of stocks and bond
listened attentively. Then he asked why
certain leaves showed one coloring when
tne wina mew from the north and anothet
wnen it blew from the south. In fact, he
put tne gin through a rapid-fire examln
atlon, watching hr ao narrowly that ah
thought he was an authority on botany
Aa abruptly aa he had opened the con
versation, he closed It.
"I think you know what you are talking
about. I've never had time to studv leav
and flowers and outdoor life, and It innnvi
me when my children ask me fool question
I cannot answer. Teach 'era all you knovi
but don't rem It In so fast that they'll tire
01 11. ataae it pi.-.y. will 25 a week am",
your board at our place be aatlsfactory?
Very well. Good morning.'
The young woman spent a delight fu
summer, with servants at her command,
dainty apartmenis and good living, simply
because she knew botany, and pleased the
whim of a man "vho was willing to pay
the price for having that whim gratified.
The mother and fither were away mucA
of the time, and the girl was practically
the mistress of their beautiful country)
home.
' Coanpaaloa to Petted M'lvea.
Another peculiar mission wMrh came to
an undergraduat waa that of companion
to a petted wife and mother. Bhe was a
city girl, whose one Idea of a summer's
vacation waa the Inceeeant rayety of a
fashionable reeor. Put with the coming of
her children, h'- husband Ineteted upon
a summer home In the suburbs, and In turn
his wife Insisted upon having a oung and
entertaining companion. Though she had
tie prospect of much company at Intervals,

she did not propose to be left alone a single
day. A vivacious college girl secured the
position for her. It paid well. The prin
cipal drawbacks were the Incessant repining
of the wife and the rather vapid guests
entertained at her homo.
A clever girl, with pleasing address and
a gift for inventing amusements, can se
cure employment at summer hotels In as
sisting the management to amuse the
guests. There are many summer holiday
makers who have no resources and must
be planned for like so many helpless, pee
vish children. The Ingenious girl arranges
the sailing parties, the clam bakes, the
private theatricals for rainy nights, the
euchres, and. If she plays and sings. Is al
ways at the command of the musically in
clined. She works with the manager in
planning the big dancea and securing favors
for the germane. Her stipend depends
largely upon her usefulness and powers of
attraction for women guests. The girl who
Is too attractive to men dereats the pur
pose of her employers. Men are too val
uable at the summer resort, too much in
demand, to be wasted on a paid employe.
Borne girls make only their board and a
few Incidental expenses. Others draw small
salaries, which they can augment by act
ing as correspondent for city papers.
Waitresses la gammer Hotels.
In New England and the midwest states
college girls take positions as waitresses In
summer hotels, and, as hotel help is well
paid, they lay aside a comfortable nest
egg for the fall term.
A Philadelphia rlrl, who traveled abroad
before meeting financial reverses, com
pleted her college count by acting aa guide
for summer tourists, organizing parties of
teachers. For this work she not only util
ised the information and experience she
had gained while traveling with her par
ents, but she studied routes and maps until
she could conduct her tours on the most
economical plan. She Is now a teacher In
a fashionable school, and her summers are
spent In Europe at the head of clubs formed
among her pupils.
The college girl who seeks summer em
ployment must guard against adopting a
line of work which will lead her from her
educational Interests. A bright young
woman from Wellesley, possessed of a
dainty but not brilliant singing voice, was
Induced by well-meaning friends to loin
the chorus of an opera company which was
giving summer productions. Her salary of
IK a week was alluring and the manager,
seeing her pretty face and vivacity, prom
ised better things. Today she la dancing
In one of the leading Broadway produc
tions, all thought of her college course
driven rrom her head. She may score a
brilliant success in her unexpectedly found
profession, but musical comedy Is hardly
the best preparation for serious dramatic
work.
A Bhort Cot to Matrlmoay.
Bummer employment for the college girl
sometimes proves to be the straight and
narrow path to matrimony, and many a
career of learning Is stonpert by Cupid ar
nvml In Rtimmpp raiment Th, nlwm mir
l never treated a a servant or a hireling
In a well-reniHtei hom. A certain defer
enc Is eccorded her alma mater, and she
Is thrown into society whl"h orher girls
oossossed of the seme Income do not reach.
Here h sometimes meets her fate, and
the question of how to pay for next year's
course Is forever settled. There is no next
term at college for this young woman.
The more desirable lines of summer work
cannot be secured through advertising or
consulting the high grade employment
bureaus. They deoend upon Influence and
acquaintance. A girl should open her citm
rln among hrr friends early and be frank
with the authorities of the college, who fre
quently receive applications for summer
"coachee," governesses and companions.

WRY THE FLOOD CAME DOWN
Kentucky Weather Sharp Points Out th
Came and Effect
LAYS IT UP TO OLD . PELEE
Volcanoes Fill the Atmosphere with
Dost, Producing Irritation of
the Rain Ducts and
Copious Weeplngr.
Felix Kerrlck, a Kentucky weather sharp,
lecturer on physics In the Kentucky school
ot medicine, explains the why and where
fore of the flood In these words.
It la at this period of the migration of the
rain belts that usually brings plentiful and
abundant rainfall. Part of this same terri
tory and a vast stretch of that fertile
country lying north of the present flooded
area was devastated and Inundated by these
torrential rains and Hooded rivers lost
June and July. The present augmented
rainy aeaaon will most probably aweep
north and northeast until the whole area
flooded lost year will be relnundated and
waterawept. Two such floods following In
successive yesrs, devesting the same terri
tory, can not fall to arouse the general
attention not only of the mass of the people
by the loss of human life and the
destruction of millions of dollars of prop
erty, but will also arouse the attention ot
scientists and meteorologists all over the
country by the Irregular meteorological
'conditions Involved, that must have existed
and do still exist, that could have rendered
and did render possible two auch floods in
two successive years. The Irregular con
ditions existing In the atmosphere that most
evidently produced this Immense rainfall
still exist In the air, and are only
momentarily abated and will likely cause
throughout the remainder of this year and
possibly extend far into next year's sea
sons local and periodic floods over the
Western hemisphere, especially over tho
North American continent. These floods will
be located along the courses of certain
definitely fixed wind current and barometric
areas, hence In order to understand clearly
the existing conditions, a short and con
cise description of the areaa of high and
low 'pressure and the annual migration of
the rain belts Is necessary.
Belts of Hlarh nnd Low Pressure.
Along the equator the Intense heat of the
sun heats the air, causing It to expand,
become lighter, rise and flow away north
and south This area Is known as the
equatorial belt of low pressure. About 30
degrees north and south of this belt, these
winds that atarted from the equator pole
ward begin to sink, aiding in forming what
are known aa the belts of high pressure.
None of these belts are definitely fixed
throughout the year, but they mlgrnte
north and south with the sun, pulling the
whole atmospherto circulation along In
their movements.
This tropical belt of high pressure lay
about the middle of May Just south of the
present flooded area. This belt of high
pressure Is usually a belt of dry, variable
winds, whipping about listlessly, though
many times cyclonic winds sweep across It,
aa has happened three times since May 18,
converting It Into a temporary rain telt.
Blowing out from the poleward side of this
belt of high pressure are the westerly
winds, and these winds at this particular
season of the year are transporting the
moisture ot the sinking upper current! that
have come from the equator and are thus
molsture-lnden. rain-producing currents, and
to these westerly winds. In connection with
the three cyclonls whirl thit have recently
swept In from the south and the southwest,
the first one starting May 2), the seconl
May X, the third May 28. Is due the present
devastating flood in the western states.
The three above mentioned cyclones swept
In from the south and southwest, drawlnt
In aa an Indraft great volumes of warm,
motst. saturated air from the region of the
Gulf of Mexico. This flooded area lies Juat

in the making of Shredded Whole Wheat Biscuit. The wheat
is first thoroughly cleaned and all the light kernels are removed,
then it is washed in sterilized water and thoroughly cooked, after which it is
spun into thousands of little shreds, each shred containing thousands of little pores
which make it light and porous without the use of yeast, baking powders or chem
icals of any kind, and naturally short without the use of fats. The shreds are then
cut into biscuit and twice cooked, making them deliciously crisp, which compels
thorough mastication and insures perfect digestion.

THE NATURAL FOOD CO., Niagara Falls,
north of the present location of the belt of
high pressure and also far Inland. This
favorably located district In the summer
season causes a strong Indraft of moist,
vapor-laden air from the gulf and Atlantic
coaats, and these Indrafts of saturatel air,
on reaching higher altitudes, condense,
forming croud sheets, and thus producing
rain. It Is true that the above described
circulation Is annual, and hence of no un
usual occurrence, and has repeated that
circulation for uges without bringing flood
conditions. This fact alone, then, leads to
the examination of the air Itself at this
particular time to discover If possible the
causes of these unusual results.
Floods Dae to Kxcese of Doit la Air.
The presence of an excess of dust, of
whatever nature It may be. In the atmos
phere supplies many little solid bodies and
surfaces, upon which the vapor can con
dense Into mist and form cloud dnd rain,
thus producing an excess of rain that would
not otherwise fall. It is a very generally
accepted fact that pure air, which Is laden
with vapor, must be roduccd many degrees
below the point of saturation, or rain point,
of impure air, before Ita vapor will begin
to condense Into mist or cloud. Some me
teorologists go so far as to claim that jure
air cannot be made to give up its moisture
at any temperature, however low It may be
reduced, "and ran be made to give up Ita
moisture only by the Introduction of dust
particles anM Impurities.
When the temperature of Immense vol
umes of moisture-laden air Is falling,
caused either by conventional circulation
or by the drifting of the whole current from
lower to higher latitudes, the little solid
particles of dust in the air give up their
temperature more readily than the air It
self, thus exposing millions of little cool
surfaces, which. In turn, extract the heat
from the surrounding saturated coat of air,
and when the temperature Is thus drawn
from this surrounding saturated coat of air
It gives up a fixed per cent of Its moisture,
which coats the little dust particle or im
purity with a thin layer of water, thus
forming mist or cloud. These little particles
of mist run together. Increasing In slse
until they form water drops; then they fall
to the earth as rain. If the atmosphere
be pure It may fall to most any tempera
ture without the formation of rain, for
vapor cannot, condense unlesa it has aome
solid body to condense upon. Thus. If dust
is so necessary a factor In the formation
of rain, as It most evidently Is, the more
dust there Is In the air the more abundant
should be the rainfall, the other conditions
and factors Involved an the precess of
rainfall being present.
Volcanoes Polate the Air.
The volcanoes In the West Indies .that
suddenly became active during the early
part of last year have hurled into the at
mosphere hundreds of thousands of tons of
Impurities, In the nature of volcanic gases,
dust and ashes. These Impurities have
been caught up by the primary wind cur
rents and swept over the entire earth, but
the principal amount of them have been
carried over the United States, and more
especially that part of the United States
which lay In the path of the wind currents
coming from the volcanic region. The ma
jority of these active volcanoes are located
In the belt ot the northeast trades, and
these winds have caught up this dust and
carried it on Into the equatorial belt, where
the air was heated and rose to great
heights, flowing on northward, carrying
this dust and immense quantities of vapor
with it. After flowing a certain distance, a
great portion of these dust, moist-laden
currents were caught in the continental In
draft and drawn Into and across the central
part of the United States, over what Is now
the flooded district These currents of air,
on reaching higher latitudes, fell In tem
perature and their moisture began at once
to condense on the dust that was present In
an overabundance, and which Induced con
densation and Increased the rainfall far
beyond what It would have been had the
volcanic dust not been present and the air
had possessed only Ita normal amount of
Impurities. The presence of great quanti
ties of dust In the air causes to condensa
sweet breath,
active brain

itabte home of purity
nation cannot occur.
Only the most luxuriant
facts make Shredded Whole
tion of more of the vapor than would other
wlbe be condensed. This has the effect
of produclnug local and somewhat periodic
floods as long as such conditions continue.
Rain has the effect of washing and cleans
ing the air, which, of necessity, checks the
amount of rainfall until the air is once
more overcharged with dust and Impurities,
when It may again begin to rain In tor
rents. The present flood district Is likely
to spread away to the north and northeast,
as these dust, vapor-ladcn currents migrate
farther and farther north with the move
ment of the sun, and continue until the
air Is thoroughly washed and cleansed of
this overabundance ot dust. These scien
tific meteorological conditions being true,
the rainfall of the whole country la likely
to be more Irregular than usual, as long
as the volcanoes In the WeBt Indies and the
Central American states remain active.
ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM
Contrary to reports which were published
In th state press last week the Masonic
Home association has not decided upon the
location of that institution, nor will
decision be made until the meeting of the
stockholder which will be held at Free
mason's hall, Omaha, June 22. The board
of directors of the Institution, nine of th
twelve members of the board being In con
sultation, decided that the time I ripe for
active work by the organisation, which
has done practically nothing since Its
organisation ten year ago, but the direc
tors did not feel like taking the matter
Into their own hand and for this reason
the stockholders meeting was called.
It Is the hope of some ot the members of
the board of directors that the establish
ment of the home be proceeded with at
once, and that the start be made in a
small way, letting the institution grow as
the necessity for it arises The amount of
money at the disposal of the board at thla
time Is comparatively small, and many of
the subscribers to the capital stock failed
to make payments as promised, so there
will be aome question aa to who will be
entitled to vote at the coming meeting.
There Is some talk of opening the new
home at Plattsmouth, and at this time no
other place Is mentioned, althougb Platts
mouth haa no advantage over other places
so far as the location of the home Is con
cerned. The secretary 'of the Masonic Grand
lodge Is at work getting out the report of
the last aesslon of that body. Th report
will be exhaustive and it will take nearly
thirty days before It la ready for circu
lation. It will be a full exposition of the
condition of Maaonry In Nebraska and is
said to be one of th best reports ever
prepared.
Today Is Pythian memorial day. This
morning committees from the various
lodges of the city will visit th cemeteries
and decorate the graves of all members of
the society who have passed beyond. In
the afternoon at 1:30 the memorial services
will be held at Myrtle hall, at the meeting
place of Nebfeaka lodge No. 1. The chan
cellor commander of Nebraska lodge. Judge
W. W. Slabaugh, will preside at the meet
ing and th memorial address will be deliv

syrup to be governed by the condition of
the fruit. Dry them slowly on a wooden
screen In a cool oven to complete the pro
cess, then pack In tin boxes lined with
paraffin paper.
Candled Cherries These may be candled
by the following process: Remove the pita
with a quill. Make a syrup with two pounds
of granulated augar and a cup of water and
boll until It will make a thread that will
not break. Then add the cherries and let
boll Just once; remove to a fine wire aleve,
shake them about until dry enough to turn
out on oiled paper; when nearly dry they
can be finished In a alow oven.
Candled Lemon Inatead of throwing
away your lemon peel throw them Into a
Jar containing a weak brine and letting
them stand until you have a doxen or so;
then cover with plenty of cold water and
scald, changing the water several times to
draw out the salt; then boil until thoroughly
done, throw Into cold water, drain and
throw a boiling syrup, using a little more
than a pound of syrup to a pint of water.
Cook alowly until the peelings are trans
parent, then let them steep In th syrup
until the peel have absorbed the most of
It, then spread on a aleve or rack, sprinkle
a little sugar over them and dry In a cool
oven.
Candled Orange Peel Thla Is th method
used by sn old experienced housewife: Put
the skins to soak In salt wster for several
days, then fresh water and boll tender.
Make a syrup of sam ss for the lemon
peel, throw In the peel and let boll up and
then proceed same as for peaches, letting
them remain In last syrup, which must
be thick ss the first until transparent; then
dry In slow oven and again dip, one at a
time. In the hot syrup; lay on sieves and
dry.
Candled Violets Tak one and one-half
pounds of fresh perfect violets. Make a
syrup of two and one-half pounds of sugar
and a small cup of water. Parboil the
violets, drain them, throw Into the syrup,
a few at a time, and boll ten minutes, drain
on fine wire sieves; then put Into another
syrup made of one pound of granulated
sugar and half cup of water; stir them
about until the augar granulates, then take
out and dry In slow oven. Roan leaves may
be candled in sums way.

QUAINT FEATURES OF f.ITE.
In Chicago, In May, at a time when there
had been no rain for three weeks, six "
glass plates,, -two and one-half Inches
square, were exposed In as many streets
for one minute. The plates were then In
cubated ao that each particle of dust to
which a germ was clinging would soon be
surrounded with a colony of germs which
could be seen and counted. The average
per plate was 1,6TiO colonies. On the day
following nearly an Inch of rain fell and
on the next day similar plates were ex
posed at the same stieet corners, which,
after development, Khowed but 270 colonies.
A good rain had diminished the number of
microbes more trmn 80 per cent.
Poison sufficient to produce ratal results ,
was contained In a paste which Margaret
Carr of New York City put on her face.
She Is In Harlem hospital ind the physi
cians said that unless complications set In
ahe might recover. The victim followed
her sweetheart's advice in using the paste
to remove a tuperfluous growth of hair.
She says she bought It at n drug store.
8oon after using It she suffered severely
from nausea and cramps. She lost con
sciousness and her limbs wiro becoming
paralyzed.
