"In case war Is declared, what Is the logical conclusion?" asked the professor of his class. "That some ono Is going to get hurt," was the reply. "And In caao of an earthquake?" "That buildings will be shaken Mown." "And In caso of lovoT" "That matrimony will follow." "And In caso of pinching the tiger's tall at tho zoo?" "You got the bounce." "Correct, gcntlomen. Always reason from logic and you will always be right" Mr. Fred Clinton, a young man of 84, had boon using logic for many months when ho sot out to walk serous tho country, a distance of 30 mllos, for a visit to his old aunt. Ho found nothing to reason nbout until within four miles of his Journey's mid. Then, ns ho was passing a farm bouso of tho better class, he saw something thnt halted' him. A young girl was on tho roof of the tool-house mending a leak. Her back was to wards him, but ho saw that she had three or four shingles and a hammer and nails. There might have been men-folks .working In the field, but they were not In sight. Thoro might havo been a mother In tho houso, but If so she gave no sign. 1 "Now, then, horo la logic, and hero are conclusions," said tho wayfarer M he sat down to watch and wait. '"A girl on tho roof with shingles, hammer and nails means that tho roof leaks. It also means that she Is taking a risk. "If sho pounds her thumb, which she is almost sum to do, sho will yell out 'Darn it!' and roll off tho roof. "If hor foot slips sho will clutch and claw nnd scream, but go down Just tho came. "No girl will climb on the roof of a Blied If she known thero's n man around. If sho sees ono after she nets up there sho Is startled and in hor haste to get down slips, slides, and comes down ker-plunk. "Any way you fix It, tho logical con elusion Ib that, thoro Is sure to bo a fall hero. Now, then, tho girl Is perched about 14 feet from tho ground, nnd tho ground Is hnrd. Thoro are nine chances In ten that sho breaks a bono. At any rate, she will feet a hard jar. She will need some ono tx hold tho camphor to hor noso nnd call soma one from tho field. It may bo necessary to telophone or Bond for a doctor. , "I am at hand. I am tho It. It's for .me to do nnd daro. I don't savo her life, but bIio thlnkB I do. so It'n nil tho same. When a girl thinks sho towns hor life to a young man what does she do? Tho logical conclusion Is admiration, gratitude, lovo. "And when a young man has been called upon to savo tho llfo of a' stnvlnglooklng girl tho mma, emo tions nro aroused nnd the same con clusions must prevail. If I go on nnd sho does not see me I won't bo at hand whon sho falls; If I remain I add to her risk. Thoro Is no logic hero, nnd thoro dro no conclusions to bo "drawn. It la n caso of oven up, and I shall stay." Five minutes after tho young man had finished his soliloquy the girl changed her position to get nt her (work tho better, and there was a "scream and sho went sliding. Her lingers dragged over the dry shin xlea, and when tho edge was reached pho took a drop. . "Conclusion tho first Is all right!" bald Mr. Clinton as he started on tho wun to tho rescuo."I must tickle the professor by writing him a letter." He found Miss Amy Logan In a fcuddlo on the ground and Insensible. Tho fall had dislocated her shouldor. 'Mr. Clinton dashed Into the houso by the kitchen door and shoutod. No one at home. Ho ran through throe roomB and came to the camphor bot tle. It Is among tho equipment of orory farmhouse In tho land. Ho re turned to the girl and held It to her nose and then sprinkled her faco with It Fly and by sho opened her eyes uid looked at him wonderlngly. "Hurt?" ho asked. "Shouldor." "I was In tho road when you fell. Are you all alono hero?" "Yes." "Telephone In the houso?" "Yob." "I don't know beans nbout first old. Tiut something must be done. I think ;you havo a broken arm and I shall telephone tho doctor." "Doctor Arnold three rings." In flvo minutes Mr. Clinton was back again to say: "Now wo must get you into the house and onto tho loungo I saw In tho sitting room. Careful, now. Put your urm well around mo and walk Blow." "But I don't know you!" protoatod the girl 08 eho hung back. That's logical. Slnco I live miles away and novor passed this place be- jfore it follows that you don't know niy name Ib Clinton. Keep Inhaling une compnor ana Draco up against any falntncss. Here we are, and now ;let me get you a drink of water. Is it the arm or the shouldor?" ' "Shoulder." "It's dislocated, but that's a heap 'setter than a broken arm. There's house a quarter of a mile back. i.vi .;' , ,. . I'lMW frJfitUFrir JX WTl-ivW ,- Let me run there whllo waiting foil tho doctor and fetch a woman." "If you would be so kind, but I don't quite understand yet." "Oh, you will later on. I've got 1 all figured out. It's a case of logic." Tho young man returned, accom panied by a farmer's wlfo, Just as the doctor drove up. "What's up?" asked the M. D. "Qirl got a dislocated shoulder." "Who telephoned?" "I did." "What did you want to swear for? "Logic. The man who swears ovei the telephone wlro gives tho Impres sion to the receiver thnt he la very much In earnest, and that he'd better do some hiking." Mr. Clinton sat on the veranda while the doctor and tho woman car ed for the patient. By and by tho girl's thanks were sent to him, and he was asked to call In a week's time, If ho could mako It convenient, and he wont away whistling and not even posted as to the girl's name. "Out odds Is the difference," he said to himself. "It may be Jones or Drown or Itakor now, but It's sure to bo Clinton after a while." When tho aunt wan told the ad venture sho replied: "Why, that's tho Logan girl!" "Hut why the exclamation?" "Dccauso they are tho nabobs of tho country." "Well?" "And she turned down several of fers of marriage." "Woll, again?" "And you are no nabob. Don't be foolish, Fred, and fall In love." "I'm not a nabob, but I'm a logi cian, and the logical conclusion Is that I shall marry her. Can't beat login, Aunty." He managed to hear from some one every day as to Miss Logan's im provement, and when ho was told that with her arm In a sling she was walking about the house and grounds, he drove over to pay his call. When ho had been received In a very friendly spirit nnd Identified himself Miss Logan said: "Did you tell me that you were passing by na I fell?" "Not exactly passing by, but sit ting down and waiting for the logical conclusions." "And they came?" "They did. Tho girl who mounts a roof to make repairs will not escape a fall ono time In fifty." "How Hilly of mo to got up there! Tho roof leaked, but the Idea of re pairing It was a sudden freak. Did your logic tell you what to do after I fell? I've been thinking It over, nnd I wonder that you got along bo well." "I know there would be logical conclusions," laughed tho young man. "Oh, I'm very, very thankful." "That's one conclusion." "And grntoful." "That'B number two." "And and I renlly admire tho calm way you managed things." "Thnt's number throe." "But but Is there any moro?" Ho snld thoro was, but ho would de lay tho tolling of it until some other time. Several months later he said, "It'n only logioal that I want you for a wife." "Then you must look out for conse quences!" she laughed aa sho gave him her hand. "Logic nnd Ita consequences make hnpplnops!" said tho professor when he had read tho lotter.

Far back In the days when Rome swayed the world many of the so called present day evils were preva lent. Divorces were more common then than they are today; at one time, In fact, divorces became so ordinary an occurrence that a woman who had not been divorced at least once was pointed out as a curiosity. And the adulteration of foods was another everyday matter. In tho writings of that day can be found accounts of the evils, and Pliny tells of the manner In which the ba kers In Rome mixed tho dough of their bread with a white earth, which was exceedingly soft when touched and very sweet to the tasto. In this man- nor they woro able to put out n food stuff that wub fine In appearance and had weight, and yet It cost them Uttlo or nothing in the making and had prac tically no food value.

"To live is the first neces sity, and for such a city as Paris to live is to develop, and beautify it self," were the words used by the prefect of the Seine, M. Delannoy, in calling on the Paris municipal council recently to sanction a further loan to enable the authorities to spend anoth er $49,000,000 on the city's needs. Tho largest part of this amount will, when borrowed, bo applied to realize the colossal scheme of hygleno and anti-tuberculosis roforms on which Prefect Delanney has been engaged for somo tlmo. In connection with this schemo It Is proposed to spend $10,000,000 for en larging and Improving the water sup ply. $2,000,000 in precautions against the consumption scourge already spent, over $4,000,000 for keeping the roadways cleaner and In a bettor state of repair, $3,000,600 for rebuild ing and enlarging tho slaughter houses, and $1,000,000 for improve ments In public hospitals.

This was accepted, and, the couple drove off. : They returned about one o'clock In 'the afternoon. Dr. and Mrs. Linstedt 'wero at home together, and, leading Beardsley up to them, the girl said: "I am pleased to be able to present to you my husband." The parents almost fainted.

The bacteriologist finds no kitchen clean enough and the ordinary method of washing dishes he is likely to call a "smear." Dishes have been tested to deter mine tho number of organisms that remain on them after "ordinary" wash ing as compared with a method that requires an application of hot water with the help of soap or, better still, carbonato of soda, a thorough rinsing In hot water, and wiping with a steri lized cloth (that Is, one which has been In boiling water slnco It was used be fore.) By this latter method the dishes were practically sterile, while many organisms were left on the dishes that were washed by the "ordi nary" method. One might ask, what harm will they' do? Oftentimes none, but If the bacteria are thoBe which convey dis ease, dirty dlshea may bo the means of giving It to well persons. But most of all, persons who are at all thought ful of such things do not want any dirt which may bo prevented by good methods, simply because dirt In It self Is sufficiently unpleasant In washing milk utensils It Is first necessary to remove with warm water fell traces of the milk before scalding 'water Is used. Because of tho cream iadhering to the Bides, soap Ib used also, but the greatest care must be ;taken (o remove by repeated rinsing .every trace of soap. A telltale flavor of soap In the morning cream haB more than once revealed careless habits In the kitchen, nnd mado It evident that all the soap was not removed in rins ing. Tho utensils must then bo dipped Into absolutely boiling water for a mo ment. It Ib an Important mattor to wash 'the milk bottle in which milk Is now commonly delivered to customers. By 'this wo refer to the washing of the .full bottle before It Is opened. It la safe to say that this Is seldom done. But notlco tho bottle as It Is brought Into tho kitchen, tho milkman grasping It with his hand over tho top. EXCELLENT FOR THE DESSERT Little Better Can Be Devised Than the Two Recipes That Are Given Below. President's Fruit Cake. This recipe must be measured exactly.
