COMBINATION PAN IS GOOD

Tray Elide* In and Out and Cover Keeps Flavor In—Can Be Used . to Bake Bread. A combination pan that can be used either for roasting meat and potatoes or far baking bread has been Invented by a Colorado man. The bottom portion is rectangular, and above it rises a slanting top like a mansard roof. A tray slices back and forth In the casing on sideways that run along the sides. The front end of this tray operates

to close the lower half of the opening in the front end of the casing and a hinged flap closes the upper half. Across the center of the pan is a flat tray with perforations that allow the draining of liquid from anything that requires draining or keeps two articles separate. The advantage of an inclosed pan of this type is that in cooking meat, so rexample, all the flavor is kept in the jjan Instead of evaporating in steam, and the meat is done molater. Articles cooked in it require less atention than in an oldstyle utensil, too.

Orange Shortcake.

MAKE PUPILS GOOD

Graphic Method of Recording Attendance and Standing. New Jersey Teacher’s Principle Attended With Such Success It Is Likely to Meet With Gen- ‘ ersl Approval. New York.—Practical application of one of the principles whldh he was teaching in class to some of the activities of the pupils by the principal of' a echoed in New Jersey has been attended with such success that it is likely to meet with general adoption. During a lesson on the graphic method of representing variations of quantities •/ with time this teacher conceived the idea that the method might be used very easily to show the variation of one of the quantities which was at that particular time giving him a certain amount of food for thought The regularity of attendance at his classes was not what he thought it ought to be, and he was on the lookout for something to improve it The leßson he was teaching suggested a possible method of improvement. Suppoee he were to represent the variation in attendance graphically and post it in a place where his pupils could see it at any time. He tried the method and it had good results. On a large piece of paper he set up the attendance figure each day, and drew the curye showing the variations. The pupils at once became Interested In what they were doing, and whenever the curve Bhowed signs of wilting they began to look around for the delinquents / who had caused It Such was the general .desire .to see the line on the upward grade rather than going down that not only did individuals alter their conduct of their own accord, but pressure was brought to bear on erring members of thg class, which resulted In further Improvement A list of numbers used in the same way made practically no Impression, but the graphic method, with Its powerful appeal to the eye, produced results. At the same time the value of the method was so admirably illustrated to the pupils that much class room talk and work was saved. The same idea used in another connection has produced corresponding results. In the weekly report of position of pupils figures were used to show the percentages of marks obtained each week. Instead of noting

SEAL CATCH DEMINISHING

Instead of 50,000 Skins Annually Yield in Behring Sea Does Not Exceed More Than 4,000. St. Petersburg—-In accepting the American proposal to hold a seal fishery'conference in Washington, the Russian government appears to be animated by a somewhat belated desire to repair the mistake committed at the Behring sea conference in not indorsing the 60-mile limit. The result has been that the seal rookeries in the Commander islands are rapidly becoming exhausted. These fisheries are leased to a Russian company under a contract which expires jthis year. The substance of the report drawn up by the official sent by the government to report upon the condition of the rookeries is as follows: "WShereas, formerly 30,000 to 50,000 obtained annually, the present yield does not exceed 4,000. Even this number is attained only by the slaughter of a fair proportion of young females. This procedure is necessary, since the killing off of the males is already leading to a decline in the number of brood seals.” The conclusion arrived at is that unless some measures are taken to put a stop to pelagic sealing it would be best to kill off the whole herd. Although pelagic sealing has diminished the stock in the Pribyloff islands, the enforcement of the 60-miles limit has enabled the Americans partially to cope with the evil. The main and, indeed, the only offenders, appear to be the Japanese. Although Japan has not recognized the 60-mile limit, American gunboats police it against all comers. In the waters around the Commander islands Japanese poachers, although frequently fired upon by the alert guards, commit incessant depredations, and boldly come Inshore after fur seal and otter. Much satisfaction is felt here over the prospects of putting an end to this

RUMOR ALMOST STIRS REVOLT

Meb Gathers in Portuguese Capital and Troops Are Called Out to Suppress It Lisbon, Portugal.—A mere suspicion of a harem eldrt here almost precipitated a revolution, a thing which in the present frame of the public mind. Is expected any hour. A woman appeared in the Chlado wearing an unusually tight hobble skirt and the people who saw her mistook it for the latest feminine fashion—the trousers skirt In a few moments a great crowd gathered about her and their rudeness quickly developed into an approach to a riot Greatly frightened the woman took refuge in a house, but the crowd continued to grow and be demonstrative. A rumor flew through the city that the monarchists bad begun their long

PAYING DEAR FOR RUSSIAN SABLES

BEAUTY When adorned by the furs of the Beast looks lovely indeed. This fact tempted Mrs. Roberta Menges Corwin Hill to smuggle a Russian sable coat worth $6,000 into this country. She was fined $6,000 for so doing. Now Assistant District Attorney Whitney of New York has brought suit on behalf of the government, asking for the forfeiture of the coat. « .

that the pupil got 80 this week, 75 last week and gfc the week before, this teacher plotted the percentages on paper and enabled the pupils to see much more clearly just what they were doing. Such was the desire for continued improvement, and the opposite was so clearly shown that the efforts put forward by the pupils were found to be very much Increased. By marking the curve of the best boy pupil alongside of that of any particular pupil, as well as that of the average of the class, the standing of any individual can be clearly shown, and the power of emulation utilized. Besides pitting the pupil against himself it Is possible to pit him against the rest of his class.

deplorable state of affairs. Japan signifies her willingness to take part In the impending conference if Great Britain accepted the American invitation, which has been assured, thanks to the consent of Canada* All the Interested powers will thus be represented.

PASTEURIZE MILK, HE SAYS

Only Way to Insure Purity, Declares Gotham Health Officer—2,ooo,ooo Quarts Used Daily. New York. —New York city uses daily 2,000,000 quarts of milk, secured from 45,000 farms in six states, according to figures presented to the International Pure Milk league by Health Commissioner Lederle. In his report of the health department’s efforts to insure pure milk, the commisioner says: “While we maintain as far as possible an inspection of the sources of supply, adequate supervision is impossible, and we have come to the conclusion that pasteurization of all milk sold is the only way.”

RESTORING A LOST MEMORY

Cure In London Recalls Jersey City Dynamite Explosion Caze—“Hypnotism" Not Used. London. —The case of a young woman In Jersey City, who received such a shock by the tremendous dynamite explosion on February 1, that she lost all memory, and was lately hypnotized into a consciousness of her former self In a Poughkeepsie hospital, has been duplicated here In the case of a man named Macrae, who, with complete loss of memory was taken from Westminster workhouse and experimented on by Dr. Haydn Brown.

threatened revolution. Excitement grew to such a pitch that the garrison had to be called out to disperse the mob, which it finally did with drawn swords. > This occurrence shows not only the nervous state of the public mind, but also the lawless disposition of the people and their readiness to seize any pretext for making a disturbance.

Eats Tobacco and Dies at 100.

Hazleton, Pa.—Ransom Young, who celebrated his 100th birthday last November, died the other day in Butler Valley. He voted for nineteen presidents and it is related that he never went to bed without a chew of tobacco in his mouth, and that he always swallowed it Physicians say the tobacco was a stimulant aqd served to prolong his life. He was a fanner.

OPEN AIR SCHOOLS INCREASE

Sixty-Five Places instituted for Children Afflicted With Tuberoulosis Since January, 1907. / New York. —Since January 1, 1907, 65 open air schools for children afflicted with or predisposed to tuberculosis have been established in 28 cities, according to an .announcement made in a bulletin Issued recently by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The first open air school in the United States was established In January 1, 1907, by the board of education of Providence, R. 1., at the instance of Dr. Ellen A. Stone. The next school was established in May of the same year, at Pittsburg, a third one At Boston in July, 1908, and the fourth at Bellevue hospital in New York in December, 1908. During the year 1909 ten schools in five different cities were opened; in 1910, 16 schools in 12 cities were opened; and eight schools in five cities have been opened to April 1, 1911, while definite provision has been made for 27 more schools in six cities. Many cities are considering the question and will act during the coming year. New York city now has in operation 12 open air schools and classes, and definite provision has been made for 14 similar classes to be opened by next fall. Boston has five open air classes in its schools, and Chicago also has several. According to reports received by the National Association, the result of the open air class work has been to restore most of the children to normal health and efficiency. One of these open air schools or classes should be established for each 25,000 population, especially in cities.

Enormous Consumption of Stamps.

London. —It was stated by Mr. Hobhouse in the house of commons that the average weekly consumption of penny and half-penny postage stamps was 400 reams.

Doctor Brown began by suggesting to Macrae while in an hypnotic Btate the simplest actions which he knew to be identified with his life before he lost a knowledge of past events. On the fourth treatment, Macrae exclaimed: “Everything Is coming back; a whole mass of things. I remember everything up to two years ago. I feel as though I were coming out of a dream.” Doctor Browndoes not use the word "hypnotism” In his treatment, which Is Introduced by an apparatus be calls the monoscope, by means of which he suspends the Influence of the conscious state. It is a small black mask fitted on a spectacle frame. There are no eyeholes, but two white dots where the eyes should be. The patient has to concentrate his attention on these white dots, and think <of nothing else. And the two white dots become one. "It limits the Ideas to ‘oneness,”* Doctor Brown explained. "The patient becomes so sick of oneness that his consciousness falls into abeyance. He Is conscious, but does not want to be bothered with anything; he makes no active thought or active muscular action —just as when you first awake In the morning. And in the subconscious state your senses aye far more alert than in the active; tho faculties are six times more alert” Paychotheraphy has undoubtedly a great future in all cases of haiinnination. epilepsy and nervous disordsrs of every kind.

With Those Who Labor For Their Lord

f HE men and religion foeward movement 1* getting ready to invade the metropolitan district and to stir up the men of th 4 church as they never have been stirred up. The object of thg movement is to bring the church, ana the church men into direct toodl with social and civic work, to makej the churches a living vital force ini the life of the community. The organizations participating Ini the movement are: The Brotherhood! of Andrew and Philip, the B&ptlstl brotherhood, the Congregational Brotherhood of America, the Brotherhood o 4 Disciples of Christ, the Gideons (conn . mercial travelers), the International! Sunday school association, the into*) national committee of Young Men’s! Christian associations, the Lutheran) brotherhood, the Methodist brother* hood, the Otterbein brotherhood, the Presbyterian Brotherhood of America, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, and the United Presbyterian brotherhood. Four great conferences have already} been held. These have been at But*) falo, Chicago, Nashville and Kansas; City. Moving from the four great centers; where the four conferences have been! held, theAiffork has spread out and) even the fringe of Canada has beat! touched. The plans for the future are! to push the work all through along the Pacific corns and in this see- 1 ’ tlon of the country. But that will not be the end of the* work. It will only be the beginning.) Once the entire country has been enlightened as to the movement and in-; structed in its purposes, will remain! the perpetuation of that work; and that; perpetuation will be done by the* churches themselves. It is not the purpose to drag the church into partisan politics hot itis sought to place the Christian sentiment of the community effectively behind all movements for civic righteousnes and for the uplift of humanity. In June, Baptists of the world are to meet in Philadelphia. There are millions of them, one of the largest bodies of Christians in the world. The principal meeting Is called the Baptist World alliance. With this alliance win. be held, on preceding or succeeding dates, the sessions of the Northern Baptist convention and meetings of missionary and other large Baptist interests. The high honor of president of the World alliance is in the balance. The name of the Rev. Dr. Robert CL MacArthur of New York has been proposed and Indorsed in New England, in the west, and spoken well of in England * Southern Baptists are, however, rising to say that they have' men fit for the honor, and that It belongs to them for the double reason that they have not yet had it, and within the limits of the Southern Baptist convention are two-thirds of the Baptists of the whole United States. English and continental Baptists, who are coming to Philadelphia in numbers, concede the honor to an American. Southern Baptist leaders mention no names, but rest their cases on the rotation principle. To this alliance meeting are coming Ruslan Baptist ministers, their way paid by Americans.

It is authoritatively announced, and said to be intended especially for possible pilgrims and other visitors from the United States to Rome this year, that the pope desires Catholics and non-Catholics not to participate in the official reception that may be given at the Qulrinal or on the capital, If they expect to be received in audience by him. The present year the Holy See will observe a year of mourning, and no great functions will be held in St Peters or the Vatican. It is declared to be certain that Pius X. will not socord audiences even to Catholics this year except in very limited numbers. Americans and Englishmen are trading famous pulpiteers. At the moment the Rev. Sr. J. H. Jowett of Birmingham accepts the foremost pulpit in the Presbyterian church in America, the Fifth Avenue, New York, the Rev. Dr. A. C, Dixon of Chicago is Invited to the pastorate of Spurgeon's tabernacle, London, the greatest Baptist pulpit in England, In many respects In the world. An egg-shaped auditorium seating 6,000, the pulpit in the first balcony, the tabernacle la located in a residence section to the south of the Thames, visited every Year by thousands of strangers, and one of the religious focus points of the world. The Rev. Dr. Dixon, coming of a Baptist family of preachers long famous throughout the south, la ’pastor of Moody’s,church in Chicago. It is Congregational, and over the question off Baptism the same controversy arose as arose when the Rev. F. B. Meyer, a Baptist, lent to a London Congregational church, and arises now when the Rev. Dr. C. F. Aked, a Baptist, goes to s San Francisco Congregational church. Each provided a baptistry, continued immersion himself, but let an assistant sprinkle such as were gat isfled with that form. If the Rev. Dr. Dixon transfers now from Chicago to London, he will go to an orthodox Baptlst church—that is, he will return to his own. It Is reckoned that bo will CO.
