One of the principal owners of a promising gold mine was expatiating on its merits to a capitalist and pros pective investor. Ho described tho vein in which tho miners were work ing, showed him specimens of tho ore, and backed up his statements with tho written opinions of experts. "Well," admitted tho capitalist, "it looks as if it might be a good Invest ment. As my old Unclo Hiram would cay, it has 'p'lnts.' " "Pints!" exclaimed tho owner, car ried away perhaps by his over-anxiety; "why, sir, we're In quartz right now!" Uncertain. The secretary of one of the college classes at Princeton, in Bending out each year a list of questions to bo an swered by members of the class, in order that tho results may bo duly tab I ulated and set forth in the university annual, Is said always to includo in his list this question: "Aro you engaged?" It would seem that one of tho mem bers was cursed with doubt in this re spect, for In tho blank space given over to tho query mentioned ho made his return as follows: "Do not know.

WHAT TO DO WITH GRAPES. Grapo Julco canuot bo too highly recommended ns a wholesome, nutri tious and attrac tive drink. It may bo served as an in valid's drink nnd provo a most val uablo one, or as a refreshing drink for a hot day for anybody. jWSrS Wash, drain and stem tho grapes. Put them in a deep kettle, mash well with a wooden" potato masher and heat slowly, adding a very little water. Cook until tho giapes look much light er in color, then drain In a Jelly bag, made of threo thicknesses of cheese cloth. Wring tho clothes out of hot water, put into it tho hot pulp two quarts at a time, and hang up to drain. When no more of tho Juice drops, squeeze tho pulp as dry as pos sible, keeping tho cloudy portion sep arate. To a quart of tho Julco add a cupful of sugar or less, cook for twenty nvinutes, then bottlo and seal tho corks with wax. Spiced Grapes. Wash and stem tho grapes, rejecting all that aro not per fect. Remove the pulp by hand, drop ping tho pulp Into a kettle and cook until tho seeds may bo easily sepa rated In a sieve. To this sieved pulp add tho skins, then measure For four quarts add a half pint of good elder vinegar, three pounds of granulated sugar, one ounce of whole cloves, a half ounce of cassia buds and two ounceB of stick cinnamon. Tio the spices in a cloth and put Into the kottlo with tho vinegar and sfrf until tho sugar is dissolved. Add tho grape mixturo and boll until thick as mar malade. Bottlo and seal. Grape Ice. Boll together a pound of sugar and a pint of water, cool and add a pint of grapo Juice and the juice of ono lomon. Freeze as usual. Spiced grapo jelly is most delicious for an accompaniment to game. For grape ico cream use a pint of cream, a cupful of sugar or lesB, a cupful of grapo juice and a tablespoonful of cream. Freeze. Grape Marmalade. Prepare the grapes as for spiced grapes'and mix tho pulp with an equal measure of sugar, simmerNintil thick and smooth. Put up In Jars and seal. Want a strange thing Is man! And wlint a stranger Is woman! What a whirlwind Is her head, And what a whirlpool full of depth and danger Is ail the rest about her. Byron. SEASONABLE DISHES. A good dish for supper, breakfast or luncheon Is an omelet, and they may be varied with different seasonings as to make thohi constantly new. Savory Omelet. Beat the yolks of two eggs until thick, add a tea Bpoonful of fl n e 1 y chopped parsley, add seasonings of pepper, W salt and onion juice or a bit of grated onion. Put a tablespoonful of butter Into a hot omelet pan, stir in the well beaten whites and pour into the pan. Stir with a spoon until it sets. Fold and cook well dono on both sides. Cheese may be used instead of parsley for variety in flavor. An omelet pan is best kept for that purpose exclusively as It must bo smooth In order to have a good look ing omelet when turned out. Bombay Toast. Boat well four eggs, add ono half tablespoonful of salt, ono tablespoonful of chopped capers, a dash of cayenne. Put two tablespoon fuls of butter in a saucepan and when hot stir In a tablespoonful of anchovy paste and tho egg mixturo. When It thickens tako from tho flro and spread on thin slices of buttered toast and servo at once, Cucumber Fritters. Peel and grato a number of large cucumbers, press out all the Juice from tho pulp and measure. To each pint allow one tablespoonful of molted butter, threo tablcspoonfuls of cream, two eggs, salt and pepper to taste, and one-half cup ful of sifted flour with a tcaspoonful of baking powder added. Beat well and drop by spoonfuls Into smoking hot fat. Drain on paper and servo hot. Tomatoes a la Indian. Cut rounds of bread and Haute in butter until brown on both sides. Cut firm to matoos in thick slices, two for each How to Detect a Noise. It something happens that an ab normal noise is heard from tho mech anism of a motor car or other ma cblno and that ft is difficult to find just what part of it Is responsible. In sur.h cases many skJUed mechanics proceed as follows, and there is no bettor way: They take a flat pleco of metal, a flat file, for example, and placo one end of it between their teeth, the other end they apply to the parts of tho machlno that may bo sttspected, of course while tl Is in motion.

Green corn Is so good in its naturnl state cooked on tho cob that it is us ually served In that manner. There are, however, many good dishes which may be preparod with It which aro both appetizing and wholesome. Green Corn Pud- dlnn. Score tho kernels of two dozen ears of sweet corn and pross out tho pulp. Add a cupful and a quarter of milk, threo eggs well beaten, two tablcspoonfuls of flour," threo table spoonfuls of butter, hnlf a tablespobn ful of sugar, and a tcaspoonful of salt, season well with peppor.

Egyptian Salad. Tako cold boiled corn, but from tho cob, a bit of chopped onion and red popper, a few cooked peas and bits of potato and a sprinkling of parsley, mix with French' dressing and servo on lettuce. Wo suffer from dlsenso through Ignoiance. Wo escupe through knowl edge. We make them hope and hope Is health. Sclcnco stands holding out resources, devices and remedies wa aro too stupid to uso. BITS OF INFORMATION. To keep tho kitchen rango black and clean looking, wash it off ;ach time with tho dlBh water, using n cloth kept for that purposo. Keep a largo mouthed jar near tho sink to tako all tho scraps of soap j?'ft " lu wnen mere is bui XySScS' flclent, add a llttlo boil ing water ana nave u soap Jelly which will be nice for dish washing. x When stubborn spots refuse to bo removed from tho kitchen flour, espe cially grease spots, soak newspapers In soda water and lay on the spots, wetting tho paper occasionally to keep them moist. When a candle Is too largo for tho stick, hold tho candlo In a llttlo hot water to soften then push It Into placo and it will hold firmly. Cream cheese beaton until it is al most foamy, served with plum Jelly and wafers makes a most tasty des sert. When' preparing pumpkin for pies cut up the pumpkin skin and all, Just removing the seeds. Cook until soft then put through a slovo or colander and let It slowly dry out on the stovo or In tho oven. When string comes around packages do not spend time rolling it, hang It on a nail out of sights whoro a string mny quickly bo pulled when needed. When stains got under tho nails uso an orango wood stick dipped in oxalic acid, tho nbnormal sound can bo distin guished from other noises, and with a llttlo oxperlenco tho exact point from which it comes can bo discovered A Scruple. "Did that stout and stupid prod!, gal show any qualms when his over joyed father set him down to a feast to colebrato his return?" "No; why should ho?" "I thought he might feel like a cannibal If ho were to eat the fatted calf." ill ilf0VflHI DEMAND FOR BETTER ROADS No Reason Why Portion of Tax Should Not Bs Used In Putting Highways In Better Condition. Thoro is a growing demand for moro and hotter road making during tho autumn months. In many locali ties tho roads becomo filled with deep ruts nnd tho wheol trackB so de pressed during tho summer that they collect raltiB which soon wash thorn Into gutters which soon ruin tho roads lor hoavy loads and comfortable travel Thero is no reason yhy a portion of StStf:&3K A Durable Stone Culvert. tho roud tax should not bo used for putting the highways in good condi tion for travel, says Northwestern Ag riculturist. The split log drag and other road-making Implements should bo put to work boforu tho ground freezes. Tho outsldo of tho roads should bo 'brought into the center of the track which will establish a crust that will Bhed tho water, rather than retain rains, which aro sura to occur during the late fall and early Bprlng months. Roads having a full-high ceu ter aro quite suro to remain in good-j condition during tho ruiny season of fall and spring. Steop hills, where wa ter Is apt to collect In wheel tracks, should bp provided with open gutters on each side into which rains may be diverted with an occasional crest over which wuter cannot pass. Approaches to bridges and culverts should bo so filled with earth that vehicles of all kinds niay pass over them without serious jolts and jars. Roads aro much Improved when covered with gravel. This Is a season of tho year when such work can bo accomplished at a mini mum expense. Every township should own gravel pits from which road-making matorlal can bo cheaply obtained Concrct roads will soon become pop ular Tho ;3i(j material only should bo used in making small bridges and culverts. A good quality of sand and gravel is necessary to make service able concrete. Every farmer should have a special Interest In all roads ad joining Ills premises and leading tp market. INCREASE THE LAND VALUES Strong Argument In Favor of Good Roads Is That They Enhance Value of Bordering Farms. It takes all kinds of arguments to Interest the numerous types of men found in every community lu public Improvements. One man will sanction and work for good roads when tho is convinced that they will shorten and expedito the haul of some spcclnlcrop that he produces. Another will assist because he owns a motorcar. Ono of the most effective arguments Is that good roads will enhance the vnluo of farms bordering upon them, sayB Breeder's Gazette. Sevoral real estate dealers In Iowa havo begun to advertise land as lo cated "on tho Lincoln Highway." Ex porlenco has shown that this Is a strong "talking point." Of course tho great national road is not fin ished, but it is already famous, and since it will steadily increase in his toric interest many properties abut ting It will probably acquire an aug mented soiling valuo. Unfortunately only a small percentage of farms aro located on tho Lincoln Highway, but that thoroughfaro murks tho inaugu ration in this country of tho old-world attitudo toward convenient and pleas ant highways and byways as a meanu of socializing and upbuilding a large hearted, broad-minded citizenship. Age of Progress. Tho ngo In progressive Fifty or sixty years agq this country began to build railroads, and now wo havo more than neurly all the rest of tho world together, in place of crude Industrial facilities, wo havo tho very best on earth; yet wo aro behind other civil ized nations In tho improvement of our roads, Wo aro beginning now to do with our highways what should have beon dono long ago. Tho spirit ot good roads is hereditary. it ml $k Mm Mfi2fflmJ,&S; SfcSr'SSiJSPSSWJMxkii "Wjfes 'And feci your thirst slip '"Eflc away. You'll finish refreshed. I jyi M cooled, sat isfied.

A San Franciscnn, who had been hunting in tho vicinity of Lake Tahoa without bagging any gamo, camn upon a mountaineer who was feeding a caged wildcat ho had caught tho day before. "How much will you tako for that beast?" ho askei). Tho captor suld ?5, and the money was paid over. "Now," said tho Nlmrod, "tio ono end of a strong cord to that treo and another to the cat's neck, and then open tho door of tho cago." This was finally accomplished and tho flcrco animal stood straining at its tothor. Tho sportsman, wh6 wbb watching tho exorclBCB from tho Interior of tho cabin, leveled his rlllo across tho win dow sill, took caroful aim and blazod away, Tho wildcat gave a Joyful yell and disappeared in tho forest.
