Some Ways of the World. Mrs. Catt Chosen President of In-ternational League.

Berlin. June The International TVnrnan'* Suf-I frage Conference In session here devoted the day

I to discussing the platform and electing officers. Atth-» wish of the English delegates the declarationthat woman does not owe obedience to the Statsor to her husband waa omitted, arid the word"tyranny" was changed to "misuse of power."

The International Suffrage League was then con-stituted, all the States named yesterday Joining.

M!ss Susan B. Anthony declined the presidency ofthe league because of her advanced age. and Mrs.Carrie, Chapman Catt. of Wyoming, was electedpresident: Dr. Anita Augspurg. of Germany, firstvlce-pre^ld*>nt.; Mrs. Fawcett. of England, second

| vice-president, and Mrs. Foster- Avery. of Phila-delphia, secretary.

Mis? Anthony was mad** the first member of thei league, I" recognition -of th» fact that «he was a;member of The original suffrage convention held Irs[ Wn?hineton fifty years ago.

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE. :

BLACK GINGERSNAP3.V;t two-thirds of a cup of butter, one cup of

mola?srs and one cup of sugar in an agateware

saucepan on the stove and let the mixture cometo the boiling point. Then stir In a tea*poonfulof soda and a tablespoon ful of ginger, and takeffom the fire Immediately afterward. Stir thismixture into flour enough to rollout In thin, \u25a0wafer-like snaps. Bake, them on a large sheet of Rus-sian Iron If you do not possess one. any biscuittin may do. These gingersnaps are- crisp and black.

pepper, roll into smooth balls and broil lightlyona hot fire.

MOSQUITO REMEDIES.Mosqultoe?, an every one knows, find their lodging

places In any corner where dampness lurks. An un-covered rain water barrel will bring them In hordes.Water barrels should be covered in dry weather,

all damp hea-ps of dead leaves cleared away fromevery corner on the premises, the sunshine allowedto enter all crevices, and. tho scientist's favorltoremedy of kerosene used freely over the surface, ofstagnant pools. If these precautions are strictly

followed the country family should have no trouble

from these pests, providing the nearest neighbors

do likewise. Itla easier to follow these precautionsthan to keep the Insects oft by herbs and lotions.

If, In spite of all reasonable, precautions, mos-quitoes persistently haunt the premises, a smallsmouldering fire of pine boughs or any fragrant

wood built near the house willhave a deterring

effect upon them. The fire should smoulder enough

to give forth a thick smoke, which is not at alldisagreeable to persons out of doors.

It is said that a bouquet of pennyroyal will, asa rule keep mosquitoes away from a room. Thebest antidote for a mosquito bite Is ammoniaweakened with a litle salt ar.d water. Some per-sons use camphor. Salt and water Is a good llsm-

tectant Alcohol and a mild solution of carbolicacid, rubbed well Into a mosquito bite, will killany germs. . ...

Mosquito netting Is certainly ugly and undesir-able It always keeps out more or less fresh air.and plenty of fresh air in summer Is a necessity.There steems to be nothing to takes Its place, how-ever. in certain localities where mosquitoes abound.

TOUGH MEATS.

The following method of treating a tough piece of

beefsteak makes it easy to digest: Take any ordi-nary cut of ra.-at (thf round Is a good pi»re). andscrape It with a strong sharp spoon, pressing hardenough into th»» meat to take out all the p::!p.

<•ontlr.no untilall that Is eft b the coarse, stringy

tissue of the meat. Season t v •' pulp with salt and

In other parts of the house may also be cleaned Inthis way. Alcohol is better than ammonia, be-cause ammonia makes the glass cloudy, nnd harderto polish. A gill and a half of alcohol will beenough for a small houseful of windows.

Allportable pieos of woodwork in a musty cellarshould be taken up about once a year and placednear the kitchen Btove to dry out. Where thereis danger of mould unslaked lime stlo'ild be usedfreely. Place it in small boxes In out-of-the-waycorners. Equal parts ot powdered glass andcement (thoroughly mixed together) will perma-nently stop up all rat holes. All fruit stored In thecollar for any length of time should be carefullywiped off before it is eaten. As has often b*enstated, the almost invisible mould clinging to Itcan be a cause of diphtheria.

Importance of Sanitary Cellars—

War onMosquitoes.

Too much cannot be said, on the necessity ofkeeping the cellar perfectly dry and In a whole-

some condition. It Is more Important to have thecellar, kitchen nnd other rooms of utilitarianvalue, perfect in cleanliness and sanitation. tha:i to

have the parlors attractlvo and pretty. In most

cellars there Is more or less dampness, and It Is

unwise to clean the woodwork with water, as it

will become mouldy before it dries. The cellar

walls after they are brushed down should bewhitewashed, and all the woodwork rubbed with a,1-v cloth dipped in keropen*. Obstinate spots can)../ iroured until removed. The cellar window*

be wiped oil first with a cloth and rubbed,ghly with alcohol and a chamois skin, it is

:»ry lo «ye nny water. The alco-ve cleans and polishes the glass beautifully., uttle is needed at a tir.v--.riM enough to

wet a small corner of the- chamois skin. Windows

SHORT HOUSEHOLD CHATS.

of observation, there would not be a girl In thaUnited States out of college, and. perhap.-. as aconsequence the government would be compelled topostpone building men-of-war, In order to endowwomen's education.

"Hitherto good men and good w;>men have seldombeen able to stand side by side to fight the worstevils of our civilization because of women's ig-

norance of what Is Involved tn most social ques-tions. College women, above aJI other women, havelearned in college loyalty to one another, co-opera-tion, sacrifice of Individual preferences to the com-mon good. Their capacity Is trained, they canthink straight: they are fitted to take the lead inall matters affecting public good. To the domesticvirtues they, above all other women, should addthe civic virtues of true citizenship."

Carroll D. Wright. L'nitf-rt States Commissionerof I*abcr. delivered the commencement address, histheme being "A Problem. In Economics."

The economic insecurity of the working man andthe Insecurity of life resulting from accident pre-sented, he said, a problem which the governmentcould not afford to evade.

"During the three years ending June 3f>, 1900."continued the speaker, "there were killed on Ameri-aan railways 21.847 persons. During the three years

of the South African war the British forces lost22.000 persons, only about 200 more than were killedon American railways. The number of people killedand injured in the conduct of our street railwaysin the year ending June, I<H>2. was 45.fi47. In that>ear, which was about an average year, in con-ducting transportation on our steam railroads andstre.-t railways the number of persons killed was9.906. the number injured 112.091. and the. total killedand Injured 121.897.

"At the battle of Waterloo tho losses of the twoarmies in killed, wounded and missing were about10.900. In tiie terrible three days' battle .>t" Gettys-burg the loF.s>-i on both sides were Hg.'iin aboutiVM**).

In an uncongenial and alien soil. "It goes poreiy

BUYN MAWH COMMENCEMENT.

HOMEMADE GOWNS"One thing Is annoylne about homemade pro-

ductions," raid a pretty woman whose limited In-come prevents her from going to the best placesfor her gowns, and who prefers to take herchances, with the assistance of a little dress-maker. In fashioning her costumes, than to patro-nize what she calls second rate establishments,

"and that I?." she .-ontinued. "that tbe only test,

of their merit is when they are worn In a crowdof well drr<!?ed people. You can put them on be-fore a mirror at home, and think how well you

look and how pretty they are; and afterward,

when you eat.'h a glimpse o? yourself in a mirror,etandlng by some well gowned woman, turnedout from :i French atelier, you will suddenlysee that the dress you thought so pretty and wasbo well pleased with Is dowdy and 111 made, andyou feel in rnnsumence quite wretched. But on theother hand." shn added cheerfully, "if you findthen thnt your Homemade gown stands the test ofcontrast, and appears .smart a.nd nice lookl.igamong confections from "Paree. 1 the good opinionwhich It evokes of yourself Is quite stimulating."

i-icoks vary In their values as much as clothes<fo in a crowd. A woman willsometimes suddenly!of« her prettiness and shrink Into insignificancesimply because of standing next to some unbe-coming friend, who is a;>t to score by the otherso'lvions disadvantage. Of course it would be lm-pop«1bl« for a sensible xlrl to choose her compan-ion? with a view to her appearance, but It doesseem a j>lly some-times that a *,rtrl who would Ik.-pretty and attractive with the right entourage, un-consciously spoils all pretence *o good looks on herpart by going with some girl whose appearanceaccentuates her own deficiencies. A girl who Isshort, for instance, looks underslsed with a tallcompanion. A stout person shows to great dis-advantace when standing beside a slim one; nndso on. One hfls only to nmice the law of contractIn others to understand how It may affect one'sself.

The doctor' eyes grew less sharp, as if .something

had dimmed them for a moment, and on his fae#»was a gentle look that no <<"•< bad seen upon Itbefore.

There was silence in the room.Even the pages al the door ceased to shuffle their
