A Rat of Taste and Talent
A story is told of a recently deceased
rat who obtained oil from a narrow
necked bottle by dipping his tail therein
Then he licked the oil from his long and
well oiled tail and waxed fat The
truth of the story is certified by reputa
ble men and is contained in Stories of
Animal Sagacity a book published by
S W Partridge Co of London
The rat had the misfortune to be bora
in a machine shop where only metal
was used and there was consequently
little good food for his kind He was
brought up in penury by his parents
and after he was old enough to look out
for himself gained a precarious liveli
hood by looking for scraps of food acci
dentally left around
It happened that the men always kept
a bottle of oil uncorked and fastened
by a wire to a certain part of the ma
tfcinery It was in constant use One
evening the thoughtful rat betook him
self to a study of this bottle It lay
open temptingly before him Its con
tents would make him fat and shiny
KAT THAT TJSEP IITS TAIL TOR A SPOON
and a social leader among his compan
ions
Could he not get at the oil He
scratched his head and thought harder
Then his thinking gave a brilliant re
sult He had a tail what use was he
making of it This tail was an oppor
tunity and he had been wasting it
but now he could use ii
Immediately he inserted he long tail
as far as it would go into the narrow
neck oJ the bottle and soaked it thor
oughly in oil Then he withdrew tt and
licked the oil carefully from on it Af
ter that he repeated the same process
as often as he felt hungry A little judi
ciously selected wood provided the nec
essary solid element in this diet He
became fat and sleek and a leader
among rats
One day he was taking a copious
meal of oil when he realized that he
had forgotten his hereditary caution
and that a man was watching him
The man showed no sign of attacking
him but rather a pleased curiosity and
the rat therefore stayed The result of
this meeting was that in time the rat
got into the habit of taking his meals
in the presence of the workmen and
that to have killed so clever a creature
would have been regarded as a crime
He led a happy life and died of oil and
37ears
Strict Justice
Two Arabs sat down to dinner one
had five loaves the other three A
stranger passing by desired permission
to eat with them which they agreed
to The stranger dined laid down
eight pieces of money and departed
The proprietor of the five loaves took
up five pieces and left three tor the
other who objected and insisted on re
ceiving half The cause came before
Ali who gave the following judgment
Let the owner of the five oaves Gave
seven pieces of money and the owner
of the three loaves one for if we di
vide the eight loaves by three they
make twenty four parts of which he
who laid down the five loaves had fif
teen whilst he who laid down three had
only nine As all fared alike and eight
shares was each mans proportion the
stranger ate seven parts of the 3rst
mans property and only one belonging
to the other the money in justice must
be divided accordingly

ft Pill Clothes i
The good pill has a good coat The pill coat
serves two purposes it protects the pill en
abling it to retain all its remedial value and it
disguises the taste for the palate Some pill
coats aro too heavy they will not dissolve in
the stomach and the pills they cover pass
through the system as harmless as a bread
pellet Other coats are too light and permit the
speedy deterioration of the pill After 30 years
exposure Ayers Sugar Coated Pills have been
found as effective as if just fresh from the labor

My Danrfitcr Learned to Cook
We used to have old fashioned thin S like
hominy and greens
We used to have just common soup made
out of pork and beans
But now its buillon consomme and things
made from a book
And pot an feu and julienne since my
daughters learned to cook
TVe used to have a piece of beef just ordi
nary meat
And pickled pigs feet suareribs too and
other things to eat
While now its fillet and ragout and leg of
mutton braised
And macaroni au gratin and sheeps head
Hollandaised
Escallops a la Versailles a la this and a
la that
And sweetbread a la Dieppoise its
enough to kill a eat
1ut while I suffer deeply I invariably
look
As if I were delighted cause my daugh
ters learned to cook
We have a lot of salad things with dress
ing mayonnaise
In place of oysters blue points fricasseed
a dozen ways
And orange roley poley float and peach
meringue alas
Enough to wreck a stomach that is made
of plated brass
The good old things have passed away in
silent sad retreat
Weve lots of hijr alutin things but
nothing much to eat
And while I never say a word and al
ways pleasant look
You bet Ive had dyspepsia since my
laughters learned to cook
ood Housekeeping
Spiced Grapes
Take ten pounds of ripe grapes Pop
them from the skins and cook in a pre
serving kettle until the seeds can be
pressed out in a colander In the mean
time cook the skins in a very small
quantity of clear water until they are
tender Tut all together in the preserv
ing kettle and add four pounds of
brown sugar one half pint cider vine
gar two table spoonfuls of ground cin
namon one tablespoonf ul ground cloves
and cook slowly until quite thick prob
ably it will take over one hour and will
need constant watching to prevent
burning This will keep any length of
time and can be sealed or not
Kiiepinsr Tomatoes
Prof Massey of the North Carolina
Experiment Station writes the Garden
and Forest that when frost is imminent
he gathers the green tomatoes wraps
them separately in paper old newspa
pers will answer and packs them in
boxes which are stored in a place just
warm enough to be secure from frost
the object being to keep them and not to
ripen them Then as the fruits are
-wanted a few of them are brought out
at a time and placed in a warm position
where they will ripen in a few days In
this way he has kept his table supplied
with sliced tomatoes up to midwinter
Lemon Sauce
One cupsugar and three heaping tea
spoonfuls of corn starch mix well add
two cups of boiling water and cook
eight or ten minutes stirring frequent
ly Add the grated rind and juice of
one large lemon and a tablespoonf ul of
butter and serve at once If the water
boils away and the sauce becomes too
thick add a little more hot water
The above recipes are from the Ameri
can Kitchen Magazine a fact which is
sufficient guarantee of their excellence-
Sauce for a Rich Puddingr
Make a rich boiled custard with a pint
of hot cream the yolks of four eggs and
half a cup of sugar Flavor with lemon
vanilla or maraschino This is good
with fruit pudding
Helpful Hints
The juice of a pineapple cuts the
membrane from the throat of a diph
theria patient when ntfthing else will
A high stool or chair is of great con
venience in a kitchen as it enables the
housewife to sit down when doing work
that must be accomplished on a table
Dissolve a little salt in the alcohol
that is to be used for sponging cloth
ing particularly where there are greasy
spots
Andiorns lamps candle lanterns or
anything made of the wrought iron now
so much used can be freed from dirt
by wiping the iron wTith a cotton cloth
slightly dampened with kerosene oil
If house plants become frozen darken
the room and sprinkle -with water from
the well with a few drops of spirits of
camphor in it Keep the temperature
at 45 degrees for twenty four hours
Tomatoes are almost as useful when
green as when ripe Green tomatoes
are an excellent vegetable fried Cut
them into slices half an inch thick
sprinkle them with salt and pepper dip
in egg and roll in crumbs then fry
each side until brown
Keep in the Pantry
A few cans of good soup for emer
gency dinners
Canned mushrooms for sauces and
meat dressings
Fresh celery seed for salads when
celery is scarce
x A nice sandwich mixture that can be
quickly prepared with gravy stock or
butter for hasty luncheons
Canned lobster for salads and canned
tongue for serving cold and potted
chicken for slicing or making sand-
wiches
A good supply of jelly and chocolate
mixtures etc for the hasty prepara
tion of layer cakes and pudding sauces

Do You Know that There Is Sci
ence in Neatness Be
Wise and Use
You see to start with said a Cleveland Ohiocompositor my work
that of setting type at the case allows me little chance for exercise
and is too confining for anybody who is in the least subject to indiges
tion or dyspepsia That has been my trouble for years and I attrib
ute the recent noticeable improvement in my physical condition to the
occasional use of
Tabules
I first heard of them through a felloff workman who on hearing my
tale of woe one day offered me a Tabule and said he would guaran
tee it to act on the liver I took it under protest but was surprised
with the result It was gentle but effective and since then I have
gradually noted an entire change in the working of my system and
I think thatRipans Tabules are the best remedy for liver and stomach
troubles this side of anywhere They are really in my case a substi
tute for physical exercise
