University of El Ezhar.
The El Ezhar university at Cairo,
Egypt, is the oldest university In the
world, unless we believe a tradition
that King Alfred founded the Unlver- !
sitv of Oxford. It is a pretty large uni- '
versity, too, as lO.(XH) students oc
cupy its classrooms and throng its '■
galleries. These students come from 1
all parts of the Moslem world. The !
Mosque of El Ezhar supplies to all !
willing to learn the gratuitous instruc
tion which ancient universities were 1
supposed to give. Not one of them need
pay a plaster for his education or his i
maintenance. Their text-book is main- i
!y the kornn, which is supposed to j
contain all human wisdom and knowl- ]
edge. El Ezhar was repaired and
beautified by Tewfik, the khedive
whose mysterious and sudden death
was probably due to haters of the Eng
lish.
Calvary Not Out of Date.
rhat cavalry is still a necessary and 1
important branch of the army is em
phasized hy the Army and Navy Jour
nal, which quotes an officer of the gen- 1
eral staff, an authority on the calvary
arm, to lids effect. He has pointed
out that, until the airplane can be
used ns a means of rushing forward re
enforcements and for reconnaissance
at night, it cannot supersede the cav
alry. Reference was also made to the
signal success attained by General M
lenhv against the Turks In Palestine
which is attributed largely to his cav
alry action.—Scientific American.
We believe there, is something for on h
one to do,
Some lime, some place and some how;
We believe we can do it and we be
lieve, too,
We are ready to do it—right now!

noblest sufferings and the most exem
plary faithfulness and the severest
truth and the heartiest counsel and the
greatest union of mind, of which brave
men and women are capable.

HOUSEHOLD CONVENIENCES.
The skillful worker in any business
tlways keeps up-to-date tools, for he
knows la* will thus in
crease his efficiency. The
efficient housewife also
knows that time, strength
and temper art* lost by
using old, worn-out and
cumbersome utensils.
Why use dull paring and
carving knives when a
small sharpener ean he
bought which will keep all cutting I
tools in good order? If there is any
one thing which will cause one to uso
strong language it is a dull carving
knife.
A tray to remove food and dishes
from the dining table or to carry it to
the table is a great saving of steps.
If one cannot afford ter buy a wheeled
tray or tea wagon get the handy man
to make you one, using the small
wheels from an old gocart. A wire
uisn drainer is ngnt ana can no used
as a tray if no other is at hand, for it
is easy to carry.
Paper or wooden trays or plates
make fine dishes to use in the ice box,
for they do not break and may he re
newed often at little expense.
Paper of nil kinds saves dish wash*
ng. Wipe out the greasy dishes with
i piece of soft paper before putting
hem into the dish water. Keep the
able wiped up with paper, saving ttie
lisheloth for stains and grease.
A kitchen table covered with zinc or '
ionic hard surface that does not need ;
iconring to keep clean Is a most neces
sary kitchen convenience. Some good
scales, a good clock, a kitchen cabinet
vith everything at hand to use in
•ookery, are all necessary equipment.
Keep a bottle of kerosene near the
dnk. and when it is dry wipe out with !
i cloth dampened with kerosene; it
vill keep dean without scouring. Re
lented semirings with various cleaning
nnvders will ruin the surface, so that
t becomes rough and stains easily.
Have a stool that will slip under
he table when not needed and use it
o sit on while preparing vegetables
>r doing many kinds of work. It will
je found a great saving on tired feet. :
3ne can learn to wash and wipe dishes j
ind iron sitting on a stool. Have a :
■ting on which to rest the feet to
“hange one's position.
A small, simple old rocking chair
n the kitchen will save many a break
lown. Droji into it while doing va
rious things ami relax when possible.
Keep a card index of recipes in the
cltchen in a convenient place to use
n planning the meals.

Sewing Machine Hints.
WlK'n your sewing machine heit he
roines loose, ilo not stop to take it off
in order to tighten it. Just drop a lit
tle machine oil upon it and you will
find the belt tight after a few turns
of the wheel. One sometimes has trou
ble because the needle cuts heavy
cotton or linen goods when stitching.
If the seam to be stitched is rubbed
with hard white soap you will have no
more difficulty.
A Tonic for Sewing Machines.
After some years’ usage every sew
ing nmehine is likely to elog up with
fine dust which the machine oil col
lects on the bearings. As soon as the
machine begins to work heavily, take
out the shuttle and then give each
movable part a genen/us bath of gas
oline. Work the foot lever briskly, so
that the gasoline may penetrate every
part. The old oil and raked dust will
loosen and fall off in quantities that
'vi 11 amaze you. Then open the win
dows of the sewing room and let the
fumes of the gasoline escape. Of
course, during this cleaning process,
the machinist will take good care that
there is no lighted gas, lamp or fire
In the room. It is a good plan then
to let the machine stand without the
usual lubricating oil until you are
ready to use It again. A piece of
chamois should always he kept, cm
hand to wipe off the superfluous oil
before beginning to stitch.
Economy in Machine Needles.
Keep a piece of white soap In tlie
machine drawer, and when stitching
| anything with much dressing in tlrtl
J goods, rub the seams with the soap
and you will find you can stitch with
ease and with no danger of breaking
the needle.
Always keep on hand In the machine
drawer a small whetstone, and if your
needle becomes dull sharpen it on the
| whetstone. You can make It as good
as new.
An Excellent Spool Rack.
To keep machine drawers in perfect
order saw a thin board to fit the bot
tom of the drawer, mark it with rings,
using a spool, and put a peg or nail
In the center of each ring. Now each
spool is In its own place on a nail and
the thread does not become tangled.
With a short hatpin one can guide
and place the work. Keep the hatpin
in the sewing machine drawer.
Tea for Tinting.
Tea Is better than coffee for tint
ing the various shades of cream lace,
because there is less chance of streak
ing. Use a strong solution of black
tea, and add this to the rinsing wa
ter, dipping it once or twice. Tills
gives a better color tlinn using tea
strong enough to give it the right color
the first time it is dipped. After lace
lias been washed and tinted it should
he brought back to its original shape
by pinning on a clean ironing board,
or several folds of a towel. Keep in
mind the shape of the luce ns you pin,
and pin It so that all the scallops are
the same size. These pins should be
put in very close and the work re
quires a great deal of patience.

1
Life holds enticing prospects for the I
younger generation just now. The '

of specialists who devote all their time

tle folks are well taken care of, anil
mothers need only concern themselves
with making selections from the styles
submitted to them. At the left of
the two frocks shown above there Is a
model which is suited to cotton mate
rials, for everday wear, and will look
well developed in dark-colored taffeta,
for traveling and street wear. It Is
made with knickerbockers and Is alto
gether practical.
As shown in the picture the dress
is plain chambrny. A single box plait
at inch side of the front and a front
piece gathered to a hand at the neck
give it good lines. The three-quarter
length sleeves and the pockets find
a band finish, like that of the neck, nil
that one could wish, but two large
pearl buttons are allowed for adorn
ment at the ends of the hand at the-,
neck. The wide collar of white ba
tiste or organific Is a separate affair,
and Its hem is finished with a narrow
feather-stitching «f colored silk.
Tluin thnmhray and plaid gingham
make a little dress that will prove ust«»
fill almost any hour of the day. and
this combination of materials we have
always with us. In the dress at the
left of the group It is shown in a frock
having a waist of ehambray and skirt
of gingham, with the addition of white
organdie in a little vestee and collar.
Hands and tabs with pearl butons and
button holes make this frock interest
ing. The skirt has Inverted plaits at
the front, back and on the sides and
the pockets, like so many others, are
cut on the bias of the goods and fin
ished with pointed bands.

ing example of these gingham gowns
which will he popular this summer, is
made of blue and white cheeked ging
ham with trimmings of butcher’s linen.
A square yoke of butcher’s linen is
worked in blue eyelets, through which
a blue silk Incer runs. The same treat
ment is used on cuffs with right angle
“cutouts.” A border of white linen
hems skirt. The belt of white
suede is punched with blue eyelets and
fastens with a blue enamel buckle.
