ECONOMY IN THE HOME.
So fundamental is the matter of
saving that it long ago came to b“
called economy, a term which orig
inally meant the management of the
house. As the importance of the
principle grew into recognition, the
word was applied to business and to
the affairs of state.
The disposition to save is usually
accompanied by a certain careful esti
mate of values, and those who have
this disposition will be found spend
ing their earnings for essentials and
so applying their savings that they
may grow into a source of income.
Thus it becomes true that to him
who hath shall the more be given.
On the other hand, how often we see
the hardly earned wage of toil spent
on trifles!
As a race, we practice little self
denial. Imitation is one of our strong
characteristics. We prefer a pleasure
ride in a rented automobile than on
the. trolley car; the latter being w'ith
in our means and the former making
us ridiculous indeed. We often wear
expensive clothing at the sacrifice of
necessities, and in many ways beyond
our means imitate the people for
whom we labor. In old age we reap
need, dependence and poverty, the
fruits of wasteful living.
In the average home the woman has
almost entire management of expen
ditures, and hence a great opportunity
for saving. Winifred Harper Cooley
says: “Women should look upon
housekeeping as just as much of a
business as conducting a factory or
managing a railroad, and should study
efficiency of operation, watch the
debit and credit accounts, improve
their ‘plant’ and dignify the status of
their work.”
With the children, woman’s influ
ence is almost unlimited, if early in
life, by precept and example, they ar
taught the lessons of economy and
thrift.
Not all of us have "made good,” to
be sure, but it is never too late to
begin. The savings bank offers op
portunity to young and old to form
a nucleus for investment. Building
and loan associations are also a fa
vorite means of saving. The accu
mulation of property begets and fos
ters a sense of responsibility. This
lends dignity to character and lifts
one above many of the grosser tempta
tions of life.
They who would be real benefactors
must earn and save, serve and con
serve in things material, mental and
moral.
We are not raised the first day to
the summit of perfection. It is by
climbing, not by flying, that we ar
rive there.—St. Bernard.
The glory of life is to love, not to
be loved; to give, not to get; to serve,
not to be served. To be a strong
hand in the dark to another in th“
time of need, to be a cup of strength
to a human soul in a crisis of weak
ness, is to know the glory of life.
Rev. Hugh Black.
Lovely Lady—Oh, Professor! you
must come to our affair tomorrow. All
my friends are coming, though the>
say they haven’t a rag to wear.
Professor—I shall be delighted.
The proper way to make an esti
mate of ourselves is to consider sen!
ously what we value or despise in
others.
THE LITTLE CHAPS.
By LOUIS E. THAYER.
It’s a comfort to me iin life’s battle,
When the conflict seems all going
wrong.
When I seem to lose every ambition
And the current of life grow'.s too
strong;
To think that the dusk ends the war
fare,
That the worry is done for the
night;
And the little chap there, at the win
dow,
Believes that his daddy’s all right.
In the heat of the day and the hurry,
I’m prompted so often to pause,
While my mind strays away from the
striving,
Away from the noise and applause.
The cheers may be meant for some
other;
Perhaps I have lost in the fight,
But the little chap wails at the win
dow,
Believing his daddy’s all right.
1 can laugh at the downfalls and fail
ure;
I can smile in the trial and pain;
I can feel that, in spite of the errors,
The struggle has not been in vain,
If Fortune will only retain me
That comfort and solace at night,
When the little chap waits at the win
dow,
Believing his daddy’s all right.
THE CIGARETTE HABIT.
With scarcely a single exception,
from the Commissioner of Eudcation
down, all superintendents, school
boards and teachers who have to do
with the education of boys, are im
placable foes to the cigarette habit.
President David Starr Jordan of In
land Stanford University even for
bids college men from using cigarettes
anywhere on the university grounds.
H. H. Seerley, Principal of Iowa
State Normal, says: “After making a
study of several hundred boys running
through a period of ten years, I have
not met a pupil that is addicted to the
habit that will go through a sin"le
day’s work and have good lessons.
"Pupils under the influence of the
weed are constant subjects of dis
cipline, are not truthful, practice do
ception, and can not be depended
upon.”
Even more appalling, if possible,
than the wreck of health and mind,
is the effect of the cigarette habit on
a boy’s morals.
Judge Lindsey, of Denver—and the
boy never had a better friend than
Ben B. Lindsey, speaks emphatically:
“I have been in the juvenile court
nearly ten years, and in that time I
have had to deal with thousands and
thousands of boys who have disgracod
themselves and their parents, and
wdio have brought sorrow and misery
into their lives; and 1 do not know
of any one habit that is more respon
sible for the trouble of these boys
than the vile cigarette habit.”—Purity
Magazine.

“And—ah what salary would you
expect?” asked Deacon Klutchpenny of
the church at Hardscrabble.
“Seven hundred dollars a year with
out donation parties,” replied the appli
cant for the pastorate. “Eight hundred
and fifty with!”
Culinary Hints and
Recipes

Albumen.
The purest form is found in the
white of an egg. It is also found
abundantly ’in the flesh of chickens,
rabbits, fish, bt ef, and is a constit
uent of all sorts of meat in a greater
or lesser degree.
When chopped beef or chicken meat
is set over the fire in cold water, the
water becomes milky while heating,
caused by the albumen flowing out
of the meat.
When boiling heat is reached the
milky appearance is changed to per
fect clearness of the water, and the
albumen has risen to the surface In
the form of scum.
Now then drop the chicken, ham or
leg of mutton in boiling water, at
once the albumen of the outside cooks
instantly and keeps in the juices.
To make soups or stews where the
substance is required to be extracted,
put in cold water.
What then are the two great prin
ciples of cookihg?
To keep in the albumen and other
juices, put in boiling water.
To draw out the albument and other
juices, put in cold water.
Albumen is also used in large quan
tities in manufactures, especially in
calico printing.
Cherry Salad.
Remove the stones from canned
cherries (preferably white) and in
sert in the cavities thus made filberts,
from which the brown skin has been
scraped. Arrange in nests of lettuce
leaves and serve with mayonnaise or
French dressing.
Potatoes are much improved if
peeled and laid in cold water over
night. It saves time in the morning
and they are whiter and nicer in con
sequence.

An inspired reporter said, in The
Sunday Call’s report of the Union
Square meeting: “When Mrs. Gates,
the mezzo-soprano, was introduced, the
audience cheered and joined her when
her face rang out with the strains of
the ’Marseillaise.’ ”
