1t was never known what foolish world it
IS till the smaller journals took to asking the
opinion Of their readers on the relative merits
of men whom no sensible human being would
ever think of contrasting The latest compe-
tition, organized by one of these curious mis-
cellaneOus papers, has been to decide who are
the ~twenty greatest men" since 1900 \. ID.
The greatest is Napoleon, and the Duke of
Wellington IS long way higher up the list
than Cromwell or Newton. William Ewart
Gladstone Is only the ninth greatest man since
1900. Perhaps there is some misprint here.
Stephenson l. almost exactly four times as
great a man Us Carlisle, and Ruskin, Thack-
cray and Dumas Slgether are only one-thirty-
third great as George Washington There
is half Tennyson in Burns, and 352 Ward
Beechers so to make up Peter the Great.
1t is time the competition editors We're pro-
pounding the ancient problem: Which is
better, pound of butter or a flannel waist

Of it, even by those who have poultry and
pigs There are many ways TO utilize stald
bread It makes delicious griddle cakes when
soaked in cold water. Three small slices,
with water enough to cover them, should be
sufficient, when the milk and flour are added,
to make two quarts of batter. Some prefer
to put in one egg, while others like them fully
as well without.
When the bread is soaked soft, make it fine
with a spoon, add the milk and sufficient
flour to stiffen enough so that the cakes can
be easily turned. If sour milk is used add to
the batter one even teaspoonful of soda If
YOU do not use sour milk use twice as much
cream of tartar as soda French toast, al
ways a favorite dish with children, can be
made Of thin slices cut from a stale loaf and
moistened in milk and eggs-two eggs to a
pint of milk-and then fried on griddle
with a mixture of butter and lard or butter
and beef drippings, and may be eaten with
sugar or syrup, like griddle cakes Pieces of
bread which are not too hard can be made
into a resemblance of turkey dressing. Cut
the bread into dice, and if you have guam
tity of gravy from which fat can be taken,
left from any kind of roast-though a piece
of butter will do Us well-thoroughly grease
the bottom of a spider, put in the bread, with
some little chunks of butter and plenty of
seasoning; then pour enough boiling water on
TO moiSten 1t, cover tightly, ana IN a moment
it will steam through and you can stir it, and
either brown little or have it moist, like
dressing. 1t should be eaten with gravy over
it, and is a good substitute for potatoes.
The little dry, hard pieces and crusts which
always accumulate can be put on pie tin in
an oven that is just hot enough to dry and
make them a light brown; then roll them fine
and put away to Use in making croquettes,
frying fish, etc. Even these slightly Drowned
crumbs make excellent griddle cakes with
the addition of one egg and handful of
flour and milk to a batter Stale bread may
be utilized in making custard pudding, also.
The fact is that where economy is the rule
bread will not be thrown away.-Chicago

One of our l..tIe girls has been troubled
with earachc since her babyhood- No sores
have gathered, but n cold or exposure to q
strong wind is almost certain TO cause her
acute suffering with earache. After trying
nearly everything that have seen or heard

ton as giving surcst and quickest relief. 1t
is "A flannel bag stuffed with hops and wruns,

Uha. Queen Victoria Can Do.

1t is said Queen Victoria can wash and
dress baby with any woman, and can gen
orally diagnose the trouble when a child cries.
The queens skill in baby nursing was ac-
quired from the famous Mrs. Lilley, who at
tended her majesty at the birth of the nine
royal children. This excellent person was n
great favorite with the queen, who honored
her with her confidence upon the most deli
cate matters. When Mrs. Lilley died, in her
92d year, her majesty unaffectedly grieved,
feeling she had lost a true friend The old
nurse to the last proved worthy of her mis-
tress' confidence-London Letter

Far too many houses, both in city and
country, are positively dangerous. Many
city houses stand on made land, or at least
that which was formerly swampy. The foun-
dation walls, when there are any-for houses
often stand on posts alone-are built of solid
masonry, but with no cement either outside
or in Such walls are porous and soak up
water nearly as rapidly Us q sponge. Then it
slowly trickles down the inside, emitting ma
laria, forming a fine soil in which all manner
Of fungoid growths flourish. The rooms over
such places are first-class disease breeders, and
every home should be frequently examined to
see that this source of danger does not exist
Then, drain pipes often leak in the cellar
and basement. This adds to the danger to
the rooms above. The two fiends, stagnant
water from the sewers and the water filtering
slowly in through the walls, work in concert
to sap the life of the little Ones and to fit them
to yield to the first disease.
The walls of the rooms themselves, in far
too many houses, are disease breeders. A
neat and tasty paper upon the wall makes
a room inviting and adds to the home COM
fort. But, unfortunately, even when the
paper is made free from posison-a good
paper can lie so made-the paste with which
it is attached is just the home for the minute
organisms which produce certain diseases
This is bad enough where there is only n
single layer of paper, but when, as is often
the case, several layers of paper and paste
are spread upon the Same wall, outside of one
another, the danger is multiplied many
times Such walls are really masses of fes-
tering filth. The best wall is, undoubtedly,
the plain plastered Waffle Roy F. Griffin,
in Chicago Current.

Sign with Her Proper Title.

The Springfield Republican suggests that it
is allowable and proper for every woman, in
addressing n stranger, to sign herself with
her proper title in parenthesis before the
name 1t holds, indeed, that to omit it, in
fact, is hardly proper. Time will be re-
quired to educate women to the point of
realizing this, but it will be an aid to others
and may save themselves some modification

Physicai Health of Women,

Now the laws that govern physical health
and the conditions that promise it are far
better understood and more generally obeyed
by this generation than by any precedent
one Intelligent people sleep in well aired
beds, in well ventilated chambers, rise to take
their stimulating bath in a comfortable bath
room, invest themselves in flannels and heavy
suitings when the weather requires them, eat
their well cooked breakfast of well chosen
food, wrap themselves sufficiently, and wear
heavy booting, and beginning the day thus
thoroughly fortified, seek to spend as much
time out of doors as their affairs will permit.
Young women ride, skate, bowl, play
billiards. go out in all weathers, and in most
ways lead far more hcalthful lives than their
mothers did.
If, with all these offsets, the stimulating
influences of their lives still tell upon them
with harmful effect, making them old before
their time, the cause, we think, is to be
found in their emotional precocity. From
the baby of =, stimulated by caressings and
cajolings to exhibit n dramatic passion of
affection for its mother or its nurse, to the
maiden of Is, ready to toss her heart to the
first empty Prince Charming, it is hardly too
much to say that every girl is hurried in her
emotional development.
A certain famous teacher once declared
that she would not have in her school n

Fascinated" tho pupils, because they We're
there to have their minds and not their SEN
sibilities educated, and because a grand pas
sion for a young woman was even more per-
nicious than one for a young man, because
less normal. But no experience is commoner
than this. The late hours, the familiar
mingling in the festivities of their elders, the
reading of sentimental books and papers, the
stimulating effect Of complex diet-the shar-
ing, in a word, of the more sophisticated life
around them-prepare girls to spend their all

POLICE APPOINTMENTS.

The mayors staff completed the work of
registering applicants for police appoint
ments yesterday. There are $50 who made
personal appearance and gave age, height,
weight, nativity and residence, while some
forty Others made written application only.
This, compared with the fact that there
will perhaps be less than fifty vacancies oc-
casioned by dismisSals, indicates that a
large per cent, of would-be policemen are
doomed to disappointment. To-day the
mayor will winnow out all the unfit and
inefficient patrolmen, and possibly some of
the officers Tomorrow he will turn his
attentionto the best of applicants for the pur-
pose of deciding upon whom he wants. It's
altogether probable that the list of appoint
ments will be completed by Friday, when
they will be reported to the city council for
confirmation. The action of the council in
unanimously confirming the four appoint
ments already made may. with little danger
of different result. be looked upon as a
precedent, indicating the disposition of the
new council to accord to the chief executive
full power to say who shall be associated
with him in enforcing the laws and .ordi-
