"When the average boy is in bis teens he thinks his father doesnt know anything, said a city business man the other day, whose boyhood But days were spent on a farm. when he reaches the age of thirty he begins to think that the old man knows a few things after all, and usually upon arriving at the age of forty he will tell everybody what a great man his father is. I remember one incident, however, that rather disagreeably impressed upon me the knowledge that my father knew a few things even when I was not more than fifteen. Father had one of the finest waterI melon patches for miles around. had always been extremely fond of watermelon, and, not being satisfied with what was given me. I began to do a little marauding at night on fathers patch. Finally, as the best melons were gradually disappearing night after night, father resolved to put a stop to it. so he loaded up his old shotgun with rock salt and then sat in one corner of the patch every night until about 12 oclock waiting for developments. Well, I knew just exactly where he sat, so I would reconnoitre during the daytime and select the melon which was to be used on the following night, always making sure that it was located on the furthest side of the patch from where father sat with the gun. Everything went on finely for a week or more. would discover that Each day father notwithstanding his precautions the melons were still being taken, and he was almost beside himself with exAll this time I had been asperation. gorging myself on the choicest melons the patch had to offer, and besides was tickled to death almost on account of the way I was fooling the 'old man.

Hll Done by Electricity The new White Star liner Baltic, built on the other side, is to be equipped with at least for wrinkles new electrical her navigation, reducing perils of the sea, and for preparing food, says the New York World. She will make her first trip next summer. One of the novelties is an electric griddle cake and waffle range. The automatic egg boilers, like those on the Oceanic, are designed to cook 200 eggs at once, a clock arrangement causing the basket containing the eggs to hop out of the water at any up to six minutes. Another novelty is a oyster cooker for Btews. At the termination of a given time the cooker pours its savory contents Into a soup plate and automatically shuts off the electricity. There are electric oyster and toast ranges, coffee urns, selffeeding tea and chocolate urns, cereal boilers, ice breakers, butter cutters, almond and bocoanut graters, icecream freezers, flour sifters, bread mixers, egg beaters, vegetable cookers, plate warmers, butter cake cooking boxes, dumpling steamers and pastry cookers. Each of the five electric coffee urns has a capacity of forty gallons. In spite of Port Steward William Durbrldges experiments, an electric broiler for steaks and chops has not now being forty-seve- n e been invented. Epicures say that meat cooked on electrical boilers hu a metallic taste. The Baltic is to har an electric laundry. It is a tribute to American lngenj-itthat this English and Irish built ship must have nearly all her electrical equipment manufactured In this country. One of the most marvelous electrical contrivances is that for preventing collisions. The moment another ship enters the magnetic field of the Baltic the needle of the instrument points toward the vessel that is approaching or being overtaken. Even the rythmic beats of an unseen steamer'! screws are registered by means of the delicate apparatus. Another safeguard Is an electric contrivance to show if the ships lights are burning properly. An electric log for ascertaining the speed of the ship and an electric leal for ascertaining the depth of tbe water are also on the list. Another electric novelty registers all signals, Including steam syrens, a record that might prove of great value In a trial of I maritime case In court Refrigerating chambers are to b chilled by electricity; there will be extra electric steering apparatus, Independent of steam, band and hydraulic appliances; electric devices for closing bulkhead doors automatically and the most powerful searchlights Tea from Holly Leaves What tea Is to the Englishman and energy not usually credited to the to the American, yerba-mat- e is South American.
