When a iglA7s letters of credit are dishon- and rejected, it makes little dif- rence how many millions he has ai command five thousand miles | away. The moyement on the part of the government to succor.and rescue the undreds of thousands of American citizens who are abroad for various Burposes is made necessay by the di continuance of the great ocean liners which are subject to orders from their as transport governments to serve #hips in time of war for the movemen: of froops: and without money, or cred- it, or means of transportation, there is likély to be great suffering among ma:m sons and daughters of unless some effective means are promptly taken to bring ‘home, These experiences are likely to make fof’l‘q travel less popular for awhile. Home will be made the more attrac- tive by the adversities which these un- fortunates have to suffer because of the irrationality of the nations.

At railroad crossings. be- hind street cars taking on or digcharg- ing passengers. 4—Use tire chains on wet and slip- pory pavements. The man behind the steering wheel can find nothing in these suggestions obnoxlons; attention to them would faake travel safer for all and less dan- gerous ever for the careless pedestrian and irresponsible infant. Beipg sorry, for a preventable acei- dent, doesn’t meet the requtrements of the law, or satisfy the mind of the one Who is blamed. “Safety first” is a gdod thing to bear in mind always. PROTECTIVE ate, that Is, calm and trying circum- APPLIANCES LABOR. It is a sign of real progress to see a movement on the part of a repre- sentative in congress to have estab- lished in the bureau of labor a federal museum of safety. In this America is following, not Jeading, foreign countries for these educational museums are not uncom- mon abroad. The educational value of a collec- tion of all safety appliances both for the emplovers and cmployes cannot be | over-estimated. There is no reason why there should be carelessness concerning the perils which merace workmen in any form of employment. The man Who Eoes forth to suLport himself and his family should have his life safeguarded in ev- ery possible way. Human life is in the main held altogether too cheap: but with such a museum as this at Wash- inglon the evidence of what might ‘have been done to lessen peril to in- | dividuals. or to trafic will always be | in' evidence and thus emphasize the helnousness of such neglect, Tt is readily seen that as a supple: ment to workmen's compensation laws it has a value which should be appre- ciated by all who are bound or are ben- efited by them.

MENDED WITH REEDS. Every housewife should learn some- thing of the handling of reeds, for she can apply the knowledge to many every-day services, such as mending a- broken border on a waste basket, weaving a pew handle for an old basket or replacing a broken ball on a favorite Chipese teapot. Half a pound of No, 2 reed at a cost of about 20 cents will save many times its cost in making damaged utensils vouthful @#gain, says the Youth's Companion. 0 make a bail or handle for the Chinese teapot, cut six lengths of flexible No.-2 reed at least six inches longer than the handle of the teapt. Soak them for a few minutes to make thém pilable. Thrust one end of the Eroup of reeds through the china loop on the teapot from the outside, 8o that the short ends point toward the ' lid. Draw the reeds through for about three fnches and bend the short ends gencly 4p against the long ends. Do not ai- tempt to make a eharp angle where the reeds go through the china loop, for it you do the stems may snap. Now, divide your reeds into three sroups, and keeping each short end pressed agalnst its own long end, be- 8in an ordinary braid. That incorpo- rates them into the braid so that they will ngt pull out Continue braiding rather loossly after you have worked the short enis in, until the brald is long enough to mike a suitable handle. Pass the loose ends_though the china loop on the op- posite side of the cover. Since you cannot braid in the short ends on that side, work them back into the brald one by one. If you use care mot to bend them abruptly you will have no difficulty in pushing them through the braid until the ends are used up. Waen you have worked them all neatly into the brald cut off the projecting ends with a scissors. TO DRY LACE. The most satisfactory way to dry lace is to press it smoothly upon a pane of glass or piece of marble. Place every point and scallop as it was in- tended to lie and leave it until dry. Do not iron, as the ironing takes away HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Don’t eat between meals habitually, and learn to eat fruit before breakfast, ADply castor oil once a day to warts from two to six weeks and they will disappear. A glass of warm milk, taken at bed- time, often proves a remedy for a sleeplessness. Do not overload the stomach at any time, four light meals a day will be bettgr than three héavy ones Don't wear bracelets so tight that they affect the circulation or so loose that they rub on the wrist joints.

When washing white stockings, whether .of silk or thread, add a few drops of oxalic acid to the water. The acid will remove the stains caused by the' boots and shoes. which are only set when washed with ordinary soap and water. DICTATES OF FASHION. Washable tulle blouses, prettily em- color, are enchanting. Children's frocks are made of flow- ered crepon. ome of the loveliest of mr§;_g:m. for a little girl's frock.

FAMOUS TRIALS Trial of Colone! Bayard. ‘The trial of Col. Nicholas Bayard of New York city, was one of the earliest trials held in this country for high treason against the crowned head of the mother country y ¥ subsequent to the liam and Mary in England, the prov- ince of New York was agitated by a strife between the rival political par- tles, 50 bitter that the rights of the defeated were grossly violated and they were not always safe in their liberty and thelr lives In 1698 Lord Bellomont was sént to this country as governor of the prov- ince and he favored the party that had been opposed to James I This support kept the two parties evenly drawn and thus both were protected, but when Bellomont died {n 1701 the anclent animosity of the rival factions was revived with the utmost zeal and fury. Information being received that Lord Cornbury was to succeed the earl of Bellomont, the aristocratic par- ty, now in the minority, took measures to secure the mew governor to their own interests. Nicholas Bavard, a prominent member of this party, made scandalous charges of bribery, of pub- lic plunder and oppression azainst the lieutenant governor, the chief justice and the assembly, and reflections were liberally cast upon the memory of Lord Bellomont himself. When this came to the knowledge of Nanfan, the licutenant governor, he committed Bayard to prison as a traitor. Thus was the leader of the aristocratic party in the power of his enemies. The party in power, as if conscious that their authority and in- fluence would soon be impaired, deter- mined to bring the prisoner to- im- mediate trial, before the arrival of the governor, so that he should mot be saved by that functionary. Although Broughton, the attorney general, gave a written opinion that no actual crime had been committed, a special court of Oyer and Terminer, consisting of three justices, was im- mediately erected for the trial of Bay- ard and one of his adberents. Five days was the utmost delay he could obtain, and on the 19th of February, 1702, the court assembled to decide his fate. Broughton, the attorney general, re- fuseq to ‘prosecute, and the prosecu- tion was accordingly ‘conducted by Weaver, the solicitor general. The prisoner was defended by Messrs. Emet and Nicholl. When the grand jury were called the prisoner's coun- sel objected to some of them, declar- ing “that if Bayard's neck was made of gold he should be hanged. A part of the jury insisted that they hag a right to deliberate alone, where- upon the solicitor general took down their names and threatened tbat he “could ' cause them to be trounced,” and the jury broke up in confusion without acting. The indictment set forth that the prisoner on the 10ti: of December, 1701, “falsely, miliciously, etc.. used divers indirect practices and emdeavors to procure mutiny, and desertion among the soldiers in the fort, and drew numbers of them to sign false and scandalous libels against his majesty's sovernment.” The prisoner, upon his arralgnment, pleaded not guilty and desired that he might be allowed two clerks to take the minutes of the trial. The request was denied. The prisoner then sent a petition to the court in which he set forth the injustiée and the irregularity of the proceedings against him. Of course the petitfon had no effect. The solicitor general then made an introductory harapgue to the jury, in which he declaimed against the Eng- lish and French inhabitants.of the colony, including the principal Dutch. He charged the prisoner with being the head of a factlon, a malignant party. He accused Bayard as being at the head Of a party of pirates, be- trayers of the prince and his laws, a parcel of banditti. Testimony against Bayard was given by Samuel Clows, Peter Odyre, W. Richardson, John Bashford and others, and at its conclusion the counsel for the prisoner addressed ‘the court and jury in his bebalf, followed by Emet his” other counsel.’ Several witnesses ; 'l"o& -THE CHANGELING.

The chief justice then charged the jury, and it retired and for several days it could not come to a decision, but finally rendered a verdict of gullty. The chief justice then pronounced the sentence of death, but this was not carried into execution. Applying for 2 reprieve until the pleasure of the king might be known, ‘it was granted to him, and on the arrival of the new governor. Lord Cornbury, he was re- ieased from prison. All was then reversed, for Cornbury announced himself the friend of the aristocracy. Atwood, the chlef justice. and Weaver the solicitor general, fled to England. Bayard was reinstated in all honor and estate by public command, “as if no such trial had been.” Lord Corn- bury destroyed the factions of New York by oppressing them both until fhey united in resistance to himself, fand the contest soon began which re. sulted in the establishment of a free and nation.
