To Cut Hot Brown Bread.
Draw a clean, strong, white thread
sharply and firmly across the loaf,
pushing It down equally on either
aide. The result will be clean, smooth
slices, free of the stickiness that
comes from cutting with a knife.
Brown Bread Sandwiches.
Cut brown bread into thin slices and
butter. Mix grated cheese and finely
chopped English walnut meats and
season with salt. Spread on half of
the slices and cover with the remain
ing slices.

' Beware of Loquacity.
The curt old doctor who told a

Why the Sky Looks Blue. -It

Good Breeding.
Make good breeding the great ob
ject of your thoughts and actions, at
least half the day, and be convinced
that good breeding is, to all worldly
qualifications, what charity is to all
Christian virtues. Observe ' how it
adorns merit, and how often it covers
the want of it. May you wear It to
adorn, and not to cover you. Lord
Chesterfield.
Young Editors.
In the United States to-day are 15
juvenile magazines edited and man
aged by girls less than 16 years old.
and about 90 weekly newspapers run
by .boys. All of them appear to be
doing well. In most cases the editor
sets all the type and does his own
hustling for advertising. Some of the
. best weekly newspapers in the coun-
' try to-day were first started by boys.
v Eternal Feminine.
Men say that women's friendships
are not as staunch and true and last
ing as men's because a woman is so
ready to believe all - that she hears
against her best friend, while a man
will only judge his friend by what he
is to him, not by what the world says
of him. Is this true? . If so, it will re
r main so just as long as average charm
ers see In man nothing but possible
husbands, escorts and gift-givers.
ATUEE
AND A WOMAN'S WORK
HER BREAD UPON THE WATERS.
Little Edna Did as Sunday School
Teacher Directed.
It was summertime, and Mr. and
Mrs. Girvan had established them
selves as summer boarders on a large
farm, so that their only child, Edna,
might have a long-cherished wish re
alized. .
Little six-year-old Edna had heard
people talk of farms and farm life, and
she had teased her parents to take her
to the "real country," where they have
cows, horses, chickens, and where the
men dig potatoes. They arrived there
Saturday, and the following day Edna
was placed in the village Sunday
school.
She said nothing about it on her
return home, and her parents had no
reason for thinking that their little
girl had learned a practical lesson;
but on the following day when she
was given some bread crumbs to feed
the chickens her face simply beamed
with delight, and a few moments
later her mother, glancing out of the
window, saw her throw the bread
crumbs into a little pool of water, and
the chickens had to stretch their

Teach Children Love of Nature.
A love of nature should be implant
ed In the mind of the youngest child.
A beautiful sunset gives pleasure to
the tiniest 'tot whose attention is di
rected to it. To love flowers, trees,
books, and all the wonders of nature
is one of the main things for a child
to learn at an early age. Science and
analysis should have no part in hla
education at this time.
A Busy Locality.
Jack is the eight-year-old son of a
Philadelphia suburban merchant, and
not long ago made his first visit to
New York with his father. 'The
Ptrenuosity of the big town got on
the boy's nerves, and by bedtime he
was about run down. He tumbled
Into bed quite regardless of certain
duties, but his father was more ob
servant. .
Don't forget to say your prayers,
my boy," he said.
"O, what's the use, pop?" respond
ed the boy. "God's too busy over here
to bother with a little thing like that."
The father was shocked, but under
the circumstances he thought it best
not to urge bis son. Lipplncott's

Of a 8chool That Is Gone.
This is the story of a gentleman
and lady of the old school: As the
story opens the lady is boarding a
street car. The gentleman imme
diately rises and offers her his seat
She falls dead. But before Expiring
she thanks him. Then he falls dead,
too. So there are two of them at
the Inquest, and the verdict is to
the effect that It is time they were
passing away. Puck.
Wash-Day Hints.
The hanging of small articles on a
tine to dry is a tiresome process. The.
worst part of the work can be done
Indoors. Take a strip of muslin about
eight Inches wide. At Intervals of
about six Inches along one side of the
strip stick large pins through the mus
lin, so that half of each pin will ex
tend below the strip. When ready to
hang out, attach each article to one of
the pins. Collars and cuffs may be
. hung by passing the pin through the
buttonhole. Pin the strip to the
clothesline with clothespins.

THE TIFF.
Working for Him.
About four miles out of Selma, Ala.,
I came across a colored man whose.
mule team and loaded wagon were.
stuck fast in a mudhole in the road.
The mules were nodding in sleep, and
the driver lay on the grass by the
roadside with his hat over his face.
'Here are you the man who runs
this outfit?" I asked as I dismounted
from my horse.
Tze de pusson, sah," he replied, as
he sat up.
'How long have you been stuck
here?"
" "Bout an hour, I reckon." '
"Well, what are you waiting for?"
"Fur some white men to come along,
boss. No use to worry about it. I've
been yere befo' and know jist how it
works. Sit down and see for yourself.'
Ten minutes later four white men
drove up In a buggy. Seeing that, the
mules were stuck, they got down, se
cured fence rails and went to - pry
ing, and, without 'the least help from
the driver, finally extricated the team
and sent It on its way. As it started
off the colored man queried of me:
"Is you a stranger to dis kentry.
boss?"
"Yes."
Xookln around to see what you
.kin see?"
"Yes."

do all de hard work fur him!" Mil

An Accomplished Duelist.
There is something very fascinating
to one accustomed to the somewhat
even and prosaic tenor of the English
public life to gaze on a man who has
seen such vicissitudes as the present
prime minister of France, M. Georges
Clemenceau. He was but a boy dur
ing the Empire, when he was exiled;
he spent four years In America
which is the reason why he speaks
English so perfectly. Then think of
what he has gone through since; to
every man who challenged him he
sent an acceptance, and a dozen, per
haps a score, of times he has taken his
life In his hands and looked Into the
barrel of a revolver or at the sword of
an opponent who had for him all the
deadly hate of political animosity, and
especially in a country like France,
where religion and classes, as well as
fierce personal ambition, divide men
into such hostile and irreconcilable
camps. Neither giving nor asking
mercy, this terrific man small and
compact of stature with the great
round head, the great dark eyes, has
fought his way, now trampled down,
now rising again, and always feared
and kept back, as men of such fiercely
strong character are bound to be. It
is only mediocrities in politics that he
world allows to get to the top without
obstruction.
A Cup of Blessing.
Never lose an opportunity of see
ing anything beautiful. Welcome it
In every face, every fair sky, every
fair flower, and thank Him for it who
ts the fountain of all loveliness, and
drink it simply and earnestly with all
your eyes; it is a charmed draught, a
cup of blessing. Charles Klngsley.
Uncle Allen
"If you've got a boy who has lots of
ambition, but no capacity," advised
Uncle Allen Sparks, "train him up to
be a leader in polite society."
Expense No Object. .
'Ts this the counter where you take
ads. for things lost and found?"
"Yes. sir."
"What will it cost to put in an ad.
for a lost dog?"
"Depends on the length of it; may
be 60 cents, and maybe one dollar or
more."
"Well, my name is Hewligus. My
wife has lost her poodle. She will
probably come here to advertise for
it. You can take her ad., but don't
publish it. Here's four dollars to
keep It out of the paper." '
