No one was more attentive than Victor Murdock, George Nor Ws, Charles N. Fowler and their insurgent associates. Now. however, the insurgents decllno to listen to the chaplain's prayer.

The variety la secured by the flavoring materials used and by the sauces -with which the baked rolls arc -served. A few recipes will be given below. While these definite directions are riven It should be remembered that a few general princi ples borne, in mind make recipes unneces sary and make it possible to utilise what ever may happen to be on hand. Ap petizing rolls are mad with beef and pork mixed. Tha proportion varies from two parts of beef and one of pork to two of pork and one of .beef. The rolls are al ways Improved by laying thin slices of salt pork or bacon over them,- which keep the surface moistened with fat during the roasting, - These slices should be scored on the edge, 'so that they will not curl up in cooking. . The necessity for the salt pork U greater when the chopped meat 1 chiefly- beef than when It is largely pork or veal. Bread crumbs or bread moistened in -water can always be added, as it helps to make the" dish go . further. ' When onions, grsen, peppers, or. other vegetables are used, they should always be thoroughly cooked In fat before belnp put in the roll, for usually they do not cook sufficiently in tha length of time it takes to cook the meat. Sausage makes a good addition to the roll; .but it ia usually cheaper, to use unseasoned pork meat with the addition of s, little .cage. r- False Steel Arches Used to Support ' V Insteps Will Often Prevent Corns As appendicitis may affect the general hjetVt for. months without the cause be , sjlk,T;g' known, so can broken arches hurt tr.a feet so a 'woman may think aha has corns, rheumatism and many other ills.

Postmaster General Frank H. Hitchcock has 12 that ha docs not know what to do with and he is trying to get on the trail of a man In Texas who Is believed to be responsible for Mr. Hitchcock's deTflculty. Early in April the postmaster received a small mall sack. It waa directed to him personally and It contained a silver dollar and a piece of paper bearing; the following statement: "San. Antonio, Tex., April 7. 1910. Postmaster General: I will call on you for assistance on the 14th Inst." Mr. Hitchcock has handled many political problems, but he could not puzzle out a way to take care of that allver dqllar. He could not put It Into the conscience fund, because it would be impossible to get It out. Neither could he put It Into tba postal receipts. The dollar, therefore, became a personal Incumbrance without the right to spend it, and yet responsible for Its safe return upon demand. Finally Mr. Hitch cock wrote to the man who sent htm the dollar, acknowledging receipt and asking what disposition ahould be made of It. April 14 passed without any notice from the Texan, but a day or so ago Mr. Hitch cock received a letter from the same per son, acknowledging receipt of the letter, but shedding no light on what should be dona with tha silver dollar. Accompanying the letter waa another dollar. Mr. Hitch cock now has two dollars In his custody and he would like to get rid of them at tha earliest possible moment. CANNKLON OF BEEF. This dish Is prepared by making chopped beef into a roll and baking it wrapped in a buttered paper, a method deaigned to keep In the ateam and so Insure a moist tender dish. The- paper must be removed before serving. The roll shouM occasionally with butter and water m rfrin pirgs ana water. In preparing the roll an egg may be added for each pound and a nan oi meat, and choooed namlv nninn Juice, lemon peel, or finely chopped green pepper maka good seasoning.- A thickened gravy may be made from the drinninn the liquid being either wate- or tomato juice. Strips of pork laid on the roll nv h substituted for the bnttered paper l basting. son can usually be fitted without difficulty. A woman should not una a ateel that is not comfortable, however, for she may harm her feet. If a woman'a toes are afflicted with coins, and an arch relieve tha foot, it is more than probable she can cure the sore places, because tha pressure to which they have been subjected will have been re moved. Should the corna be between tha toes, a few weeks of patient care will prob ably cure the spots. A soft corn Is not unlikely a blister, and If, after soaking the foot, the edges of the sore are worked a moment with a regular corn knife, the top will lift off aa a blister, in the center there Is a small corn which should be gently but firmly worked around, always from tha edges to the middle. The kind ttl knife I mean is not that of horn handle and blade, but a atraight piece of Meel, one end of which la cut biaa, as It were, and the other a scallop. Buch a knife ia Invaluable, and is also excellent for mani curing. It should not be sharp for either puipimo. for, In chiropody, when the skin has been soaked enougfc. It is so aofi no sharp edge Is required. When tha little corn has been removed, the place It has occupied will be allghtly hollow. This should be painted, night and morning with iodiu to prevent new skin from forming in a hard state and, before drawing on tha stockings for the day, a piece of tissue paper should be placed be tween the toes, not only to prevent irrita tion from friction, but to absorb natural moisture, which is one of the causes of soft corns.

"What do you think about that Boston professor who says women should study leaves for dress styles?" demanded Friend Wife. , ' ,' "The Women should be given leave to try It," aald the Tired Business Man. "Now that the stag at Eve has thunk his will I dare the unfair sex to take him up. If they twig his meaning let them bow to the popular demand and perfect themselves In learning this branch of arboreal dressmak ing. It won't cost those Boeton aristocrats anything", because they can get all the leavea they want from their old family trees.

"What on earth have you got at the end of that rope?" gasped'the wife of the Boss of tha Establishment as aha opened the door of the apartment of her lord's ring. "You wait and see," answered the Boss, mysteriously, as he strode through tba hall dragging a mangy hound into tha living room. "Is it aomething for me?" hla spouse inquired anxiously, but coldly. And then, as the Boss vouchsafed no reply, she added disparagingly. "What la It? It looks like a kangaroo or a wart hog." Aa though to answer tba aspersions cast upon the Boss' newest and dearest posses sion, a sudden and violent animation took hold of the dog. which began to act aa though It were possessed ot a devil or a devltatinit medium. Also strange whining sounds Issued from tha cavernous Jaas, which caused the Boss' wife to start back In alarm. "Isn't he great?" the Boss Interrogated enthusiastically. "Finest canine specimen I ever saw, and the most friendly. See, be knows oie already!" And he extended a playful finger, which the long legged, long eared beast began to mouth with almost aa much enthusiasm as if it had been a bone. "What what kind of a dog ia he?'' in quired tha aghast housewife. "A dasch und?" "A dachsund!" echoed the Indignant Boss. "Are you crazy? He Is a registered sheep dog! . And tha biggest bargain you ever, heard of! How much do you think I paid for hltnT" Now the Bona' wife did not wish to dis please her lord, but she knew no more of the probable price of a pedigree dog than the Boss did of the prevailing cost of face powder. "Five dollars,' sne hazarded, and aeelng thunder clouda gathering on his brow she added, hastily, "ten dollars!" "Ten dollars!" was th: sneering reply. "Oh, no, not $10!

And she wore no black velvet at the neck to accentuate the er contrast. "And so I think that the professor Isn't proposing anything Immodest when he sug gests that tha women go back to leaves. He says that each woman intending to deck herself out like a tree must study the subject, so that there won't be any ldtofyn cracies ouch! like oak leaves for clinging vtne wives and so forth. He saya women need not go to Paris for styles, but can are two for a quarter all over town!" A long, pained Biience on the part of the Boss, wife ensued. The Boss, feeling that the domestic temperature had fallen forty degrees in as many seconds, added pro pltlatlngly: "I paid $a for him and he's a IUM dog." "What's his name?'' the appeased lady condescended to inquire. "As he's a sheep dog. I think I'll name him Mutton," answered the Boss faceti ously. "I suppose we'll call him Mut for short?" queried his wife, but hastily added: "Thats a Joke!" It must not be inferred that Mutton had remained Idle during the conversation. He had, on the contrary, shambled from the living room Into the dining room, sniffed at everything in sight uncovered, every thing out of sight , overturned a work basket, scattering spools and scissors right and left, and than, tiring from these exer tions, bad curled himself up at the feet of the Boss' wife. To tha Boss he paid no attention what ever, but every time his new favorite cast a frightened look in his direction, his lank tail begain to whack the floor so vigorously that the chandelier shook. "Go away!" finally exclaimed his wife in a tone of disapproval which aha thought no pedigreed dog could misunderstand. She was mistaken, however, for In ans wer to the command. Mutton scrambled to bis feet, placed two huge, grimy fore paws on her whits gown and attempted to leap Into her lap. But the Boss' wife dodged and, retreat ing Into a corner, surveyed the ruin of her previously spotless gown, "Take him awayl Oh, please take him away!" ahe shrieked, and then diplomacy coming to the aid of terror, ahe added: "I am aure ha must be starved to death! Take him out to the kitchen and give him some thing to eat!" The suggestion seenting good to tha Boss, he roe and, seizing the rope of the some what abashed Mutton, led him to tba resr of the apartment. : Tells Friend Wife About the Time When Women Leave. Just take to the woods. Of course, widows need only go to the nearest vacarj. lot and pick weeds. "Every costume should be made of ap propriate leavea. I would suggest for the tearful girl a dvess wreathed from weep ing willow. For the literary girl you might contrive an outfit from the leaves of a book. The proud doll who tends the ex pensive hotel cigar stand ahould have a gown made of tobacco leaf. The Janltres could compose a dandy furnace-cleaning frock of ash leaves. "The aweet girl's saccharine costume might Ibe full of sugar maple leaves. Aa for the flirt, there Is nothing like the leaves from the date tree. And the girl waitresses could have neat little tip-suggesting dresses made of palm leaves. Proud dames who wish aomething appropriate to wear with a hat trimmed by bird's tall feathers should don gowns of burdock leaves. Country girls should wear rhubarb leaves. Women avi ators could try fly leaves or falling leaves. "Bathing suits could be made of water lily leaves. Poplar leavea for pop'lar girls. Apple tree leaves for dresses worn at eve. Twins should stick to pear tree leavea. Women bookkeepers could cull a few from loose leaf ledgers, and a fine New Tear'a day costume would be made of new leaves. Of course, all pretty girls should take the peach tree leaf." "What kind of leaves would Salome dancers choose?" asked Friend Wife. "Leaves of absence." said the Tired Bual nesa Man. 'Copyright, 1910, by the N. Y. Herald Co.) Despite His Wife's Tears, He Gives Her Pet Dog to the Janitor. In the meantime the Boss' wife became aware of the havoc In the dining room and muttering to herself began to straighten It up. When the Boss returned she looked up, smiled rat lie r wanly, and remarked: "Dear, when are we going to keep a cow? I think the dog will be lonesome with only you and me and Mary In a five-room fiat. He needs something of his own sice. Maybe he'd like a camel." Tha Boss ignored her feeble attempt at sarcasm and alleged humor. "Who's going to exercise Mutton?" con tinued the relentess helpmeet, and she drew a long, deep breath of defiance. "I poslUvly wouldn't be seen In the street with that disreputable looking pup, and I'm aure Mary will feel tho same way!" But at hesa words a terrific commotion arose In the rear of the apartment The kitchen door was flung open and Mary rushed Into their presense. "Please, ma'am," she said, "there's a strange beast In the kitchen and he's kfter eating the steak I left on the gas Btove." 'The Boss covered the distance to the kitchen In three leaps, his wife following. And, sure enough, there waa Mutton munching the remalna of a choice porter house, hlB tail pounding a rapturous thanksgiving on the floor. "Drop that! Drop It Instantly.." the Boss commanded. An ominous srroul rewarded him, but that waa all. The steak remained in the Jaw of the enemy. "Sure." said Mary, "he's a fine animal! He looks Just like the Janitor'a dog that died." "8ay," asked the Boss hopefully, "does the Janitor want a new dog?" (Copyright, 1910, by the N. 1Y. Herald Co.) Yaratloa Time.

Tonight one of the four moons of Jupiter mill be In transit across the face of that big planet and anothers will pass behind It In eclipse. It was through observations of the movements ot the moons of Jupiter that the theory of the velocity of light was, evolved a discovery of prime Im portance In astronomy. , Observations of their movement were being made In or der to assist aeamen to reckon their posi tions, and tt waa found that the eclipses occurred twenty-two minutes earlier when the earth waa nearest to Jupiter than when It waa at Its most distant point. It was concluded that it required twenty-two minutes for light to cross the orbit of the earth. It was later found that the motion of the earth and other things had to be taken Into the reckoning, and then the actual velocity of light waa determined. After tha solution was worked out In directly It was concluded that It must be worked out directly, and many Ingenious machines were brought out to do so. Per haps the most accurate and conclusive testa' of light velocity ever made were those of the late Simon Newcomb and A. A. MIchallson, acting on behalf ot the naval obscrvatoiy at Washington. To measure the velocity of aomething which flies so fast that It will race around the earth Seven and a halt times In a single second might seem an impossible task; but these two representatlvea of the naval observatory set themselves resolutely to It. At the base of the Washington monument they set up a big mirror. In the grounds at Fort Myer, two and a quarter miles distant across the Potomac river in Vir ginia, they stationed a revolving mirror, with a speed ot 260 revolutions to the second. By revolving this mirror with great rapidity they were able to note how far it would turn in the time required for a ray of llgtit to flash across the Inter vening space between Fort Myer and the Washington monument and back again. They found It would cover tha distance In the forty-thousandth part of a second, and thus they were able to settle positively the question of the velocity of light. Their Instruments were so delicately adjusted that they would measure the millionth part ot a second as easily as a carpenter measured a board. The naval observatory la one of tha alghta of Washington that the tourist sel dom sees, and. In fact, Ita work Is of such a character that to make a ahow place of It would Interfere with ita usefulness. It Is here that America gets ita time. The day was when sun time waa .accurate enough tor any man, but with the advent of the railroad and the telegraph, standard time became a necessity, and the complex conditions of modern civilization require a time accuracy as near to the absolute as may be. In the single matter of naviga tion, an error In time might lead the commander of a fleet to miscalculate his position, and a war might be decided -through the disadvantage of a fleet which did not have the correct time. If there is a necessity for correct time the naval observatory Is the result of that necessity. Its great master clock, kept In an Isolated vault, in a sealed case, the temperature of which Is not allowed to vary more than the hundredth part of a degree, ia one of the wonders of the world of delicate scientific instruments. It is so accurate that It never varies more than three-tenths of one second, and at times has run for weeks without getting out of the way mora than the hundredth part ot a second. In the sealed case in which It la kept there la a little thermostat and an electric light A. change ot the hundredth part of a degree of temperature will affect that delicate thermostat as much as a change of forty degrees will affect a human being. When It geta the two hundredth part of a degree colder than normal the thermostat shivers and turns on the little light, which serves It aa an automatic stove. When It gets the two hundredth part of a degree hotter than normal the thermostat begins to mop Ita brow and turns off Its electric stove. Not only must the temperature, but also the barometric pressure, be kept constant. - Yet with all the wonderful accuracy of this clock a careful check must be kept upon K performance, in the dokig of which one finds a precision almost startling in He care. In a little square house on the naval observatory grounds there Is an in trument which verifies Che time two or three times a week, and Is, after all, the source of the nation' time. It ia mounted on two great pillar of granite, and looks like a cross between a cannon and a tele scope. It is on the exact meridian of Wash ington, and can be pointed only north and south. To make lb readdngs worth while it must be adjusted with a delicacy almost unbellevaMe. It cannot rest with but a small percntage of ita weight on its pivots. The entire weight, except for a few pounds. Is supported by a sling arrangement only enough of Its weight being allowed on the real bearings to give It steadiness and to It Musings of a Gentle Cynic "Twinkle, twinkle, little star," la the favorite song of the average actress. When we are in trouble we are always full of sympathy for ourselves. A woman seldom appreciates her first husband till she gets her second. The modern hero is composesd of nine parts printer's ink. The tenth part doesn't make much difference. The minute a woman's dresses begjn to feJ comfortable ahe knoas she is losing flesh. Ths nan who thinks he knows it all is never the father of a boy old enough to ask questions. In spite of a popular tradition to the contrary, tha only akcleton In the average man's closet is a trouser s stretcher. It's a good thing that poverty Is no dis grace, or lots of us would be very 'dis graceful The men who treat their friends better than they treat their wives don't deserve to have either. I can afford to say this because I have no wife. The fellow who drowns his sorrows In the flowing bowl seldom baa an opportunity ot using it to christen his joys. Many a man la such a liar that he wouldn't take his own word. There is a remedy for vry evil, also "something Just as good." prevent wear. At Ita side there are two delicately adjusted heela. or circles. These may be turned the smallest conceivable fraction of an Inch, and while they are about two feet In diameter, (t la necessary to have marks on the rims to fine that they cannot be eeen by the naked eye. Four microscopes of considerable power are used to enable the observer to see the Hnee In tha silver on the rims, and to make eure that the Instrument is exactly set. In vplte of the greatest exactitude that I obtainable in the mounting and oprraMon ot a transit Instrument there is always a remaining margin of error; but It happens that this margin of error has a law ot its own, and that when tha obnernUinni are made H may be compensated for in the computations. To reduce error to a min imum, however, the transit telescope Is watched with great ears. There are many tests made to Insure that it ia always in. plumb. One ot these Is by the use of an artificial hortson. This consists of a pan ot quicksilver and tinfoil, whioh gives an absolute level. The telescope Is stint Ion ed in a vertical position, and the observer looks down through It into the pan of quicksilver. If the threads In the field of the telescope exactly coincide with their Imsges in the quicksilver it Is known that the telescope Is still In position. When the observer wishes to fix the time he takea the transit ot about S o'clock tars. As one looks through the transit telescope he sees ten very fine lines across the lens, and two others passing through them at right anglea. The Instrument la so adjusted that the star which is to be observed passes down through the field of the telescope between the two lines, cross ing the other lines as it goes. Each time the star crosses one of these lines the ob server presses the key of a chronograph, and the fact Is registered electrically. But even here there is a margin of error be cause of the "personal equation." One ob server may press the key the thousandth part of a second later than another ob aerver. Allowances must be made In the computations for the personal equation. In some of the newer transit Instrument there is an attachment at the eye piece not unlike the combination wheel to a safe, and by turning its wheels transits are re corded without the intervention of the per sonal equation. The drudgery of the whole procedure cornea when the observer has to make his compulsions from his observa tions. These involve mathematical calcu lations of vast proportions. The spider's thread is the key to exact observations with the transit telescope, and thus it may be said that the world's time hangs by the filmy thread of nature's first 'weaver. The secret of ell the observations at the Naval observatory ia ths use of the lnfln Isemal in the penetration of the infinite. One of the rooms at the observatory which is full of Interest is tho chronometer testlng room. Here dozens of Instruments are gathered together and are "Watched for a period of six months, so as to make euro that they are as nearly ax-curate as they can be mad when they are delivered to the chips which reckon their position by them. Every vessel in Uncle Sam's navy mtirt carry at least three chronometers. If they carried only one, these would be no means of knowing when it went into error. If they carried only two, they could not know which was right and which wa wrong In oase of variation. In the testing room it is aimed to keep the temperature as near to an approximation of aea condi tion as may be. Wet clothes are hung up around the room for this purpose. Th big twenty-six-inch telescope, which has the honor of being housed In a dome of its own, has some history attached to rt. It was through this instrument that Prof. Asa Hill discovered the moon of Mars. Many other studies of great Interest have been made through it. The instrument was contracted for about the same time that the reaper king, MeCormick, con tracted for hi . big . telescope. At first R seemed that the government would have to wadt until his Instrument was built be fore It would get its telescope made. But MeCormick generously agreed to waive any advantage the priority of his contract gave him, and so they were buiH together. One can scarcely realize the change that has been wrought by the work of the Naval observatory. Before standard time was es tablished in ths United States, there were no less than seventy different standards. With the railway and the telegraph, It would be impossible for the country to do business on the old-time basis. To show bow it would work, the time cannon In Paris affords an interesting; Illustration. This little gun is fired every day at high noon by the fasting ot the ray of the sun on a burning glass. At different periods of ths year, the time of this gun-fire varies. At one period the man who eet his watch by tt might be fifteen minutes slower than the train he wished to take at the Paris station. By rmxQzauo jr. hasxist.
