Queen Mary's Prayer-B Book.

A curious and valuable prayer-book
has just been sold in London. 1t is the
little volume which the unfortunate
Mary Queen of Scots used at her death
upon the scat1old. The prayers are the
handiwork of some rare fifteenth CEN
fury scribe; they IRE written in Latin
on velIum. The pages Of the missal
are exquisitely illuminated with elegant
borders Of fruit, flowers and birds; they
are also decorated with thirty five minia-
lures by a Flemish artist, pieces of
elaborate workmanship. The little
book still rests in the original oak
boards; covered with silk now much
worn. in which it was originally bound.

How and When Good and Bad Manner

Gus person is both careless and selfish,

preston OF the Golden Rule; they are
the card of introduction to strangers.
A friend can introduce you to good So
ciety, but he can not keep you there;
that depends on yourself.
A boy OF kindly nature is rarely rude,
A boy of selfish nature is polite only
when his own desires are not interfered
with.
Every man is the result of his own
boyhood and youth. If he has read
good books, kept himself informed on
passing events, he becomes what the
world terms a well-informed, intelli-
gent man. If he has wasted his time
in trihing conversation. read only SEN

If as a boy he has not studied to avon
collisions with those about him, has
not recognized the rights Of Others
has not cultivated a desire to lead men
to higher motives, to give to others the
benefit OF his own opportunities, he
becomes that most unfortunate person,
a tactlcss man; a nuisance wherever
people are brought together. One OF
the lessons every boy can learn is to
watch those men who arouse adverse

TENDER STEAK.
valuable Recipes for Young Housekeepers
and Dissatified Boarders.

Valuable Recipes for Young Housekeepers
and Dissatified Boarders.
You want TO know how to make steak
tender, do you, Eulaliep Well, W. are
f"ll of a ripe, golden experience on
steak. If there's any one in all this
wide, weeping world who has a full and
perfect knowledge of steak, We are. that
person. We nearly choked to death on
steak once, Eulalie. But hearken to
the sweet, mellifuous piping of our
gentle oboe. If you are keeping house
and want to make your steak tender,
buy a big seven-barreled revolver. Go
around to the butchers and present the
executive end of the gun at his head.
Then address him in some such honeyed
words as these:
.You miserable, swindling, bone
chopping scoundrel, if you send me
more such steak rs that stuff you sent
me yesterday morning, I'll blow you
into the middle of Jersey City,
That'll settle him, EuIalie. When he
sees that your soft, womanly heart is
not to be trifled with. he'll weaken, and
send around the porterhouse that you
pay for.
But if you are boarding, Eulalie, and
want to make the steak tender, you
must pursue a very different plan. You
can not deal with the butcher, if you
are boarding, SO you must pay your at
tentions directly to the steak. When
the steak is placed on the table before
you, take it up gently on your fork and
60 up to your Don with it. Place it
on the plate of your sewing-machine, in
the spot where you put your sowing.
Then sit down firmly in chair, Eulalie,
and put your feet on the pedals of the
machine. When you have done this.
begin to operate the pedals. Operate
as if the house was on fire. Keep it up
for about two hours. See that you have
a good stout needle in the machine,
otherwise it might break off in the
steak.
After you have kept this up for the
time mentioned, you will find that you
can cut the clearinghouse steak quite
easily with a steam circular-saw.-Pack.

Of the difference between active

There is phosphorus also in that little

making good strong bones for the
